I do security for Anime Central, the third largest anime convention in the United States of America. Good times.
Last year we received a written threat from Anon. I and another security volunteer had to "translate" the slang terms for the grey-haired policemen who were terribly confused and considered it a serious criminal threat. I cannot forget the look in the Sergeant's eyes as I explained what a weeaboo was, and he replied, "Haha, weeaboo? I like that."
