It's never a good thing to antagonize or exclude based on perceived age and interest, whether it's the crusty bastards hating on the people who like everything but pulp (ugh, golden age pulp) or the fucking wanker who wanted to start a con "without old people" around.
I kind of hit that stage in anime fandom, because all the incoming students in COUP weren't interested in anything older than 2 years ago, and I was like, fuck you, there was some good shit in the 80s. (And some really bad shit. Then the 90s happened.) But if it wasn't done on a computer with shiny designs or whatever, they didn't want to see it. Fuck them. They don't care that show X was deeply influenced by something 20 years ago that its creator watched growing up? Fuck them.
I wonder if I should save my commentary on my blogspot about the generation divide until after voting closes 8/1...
