Insanity is Contagious

-If you are prone to claustrophobia, acrophobia, or disorientation, this simply may not be the show for you.

-If you wear corrective lenses and you have the option to wear contacts...do. The audience masks that are supposedly "glasses friendly" are only...kind of.

-Wear shoes you can walk securely in.

-If you are going to want a cocktail or merch at the end of the show, make sure you keep a credit card in your pocket and do not check all of your available forms of payment with your bag. (They require that all bags be checked.)

-It is long and there is not an intermission. Use the bathroom before you go or during preshow lineup.

-This show is not only immersive; it is fairly interactive. Characters as well as ushers will probably touch you. Characters may well begin interactions with you or put things in your hands. (They're pretty good about avoiding people who very obviously don't want to be touched or involved in the action.)

-If you have any accessibility considerations, TELL THEM when you buy tickets. They have a pretty decent set of accommodations for mobility needs available.

-I did not find the show overly difficult from an auditory perspective; the sound engineering is pretty good, but there is a lot going on.

* yes, I’ve had it and been sequestered

* yes I’ve had it but I haven’t been sequestered

* I’ve been called for it but I was never assigned to a trial

* I’ve never been called for jury duty (even though I’m eligible)

* not eligible for jury duty/my country doesn’t have jury duty

* it’s complicated

* see results

is just like “sure my wife will

buy your porn hawkeye.”

"Stuff like this is made to brainwash young girls into thinking that they can 'fix' dangerous men. Such girls usually end up in abusive relationships and their parents are right to worry."

It is rather strange to come across such a gross generalization, operating on an assumption that girls are blank slates whom anyone can manipulate and who can't distinguish between real and make believe on top of it.

In my entire "career"(if you can call it that) of engaging with fiction , the girls and women that I have run into in fandoms happened to be some of the most intelligent, talented, cool, witty and insightful people I have ever met. I've devoured the fics they have written. I have delighted in the arts and edits they've made. Their perspectives and interpretations about the characters and their relationships are genuinely fascinating to read about regardless of whether I agree with it or not. They are the ones who are most often at the receiving end of the antis' ire for no valid reason but they just keep deriving joy and inspiration from their favourite characters and ships and keep sharing it with others through stories, art and thoughts. They are not just smart but incredibly resilient, sensitive and aware not just about the media they consume but about the world around them and its issues.
