I think that had the post been by anyone other than The Ferrett I would have felt happier about it. Still not unconflicted, but happier. I'm with you, he gives me the mighty creeps. I used to read his LJ but gave up a while ago because of ... something I no longer remember, but it gave me the shudders.
My initial reaction was 'of course I'd wear one of the green buttons', but on thinking about it, from the tone of Ferrets post I'd stick to a 'free hugs' t-shirt instead. I'm not naiive, even that can be sexual depending on the person doing the hugging, but breasts are so much more loaded.
And gah, I need to think more on this and not clutter up serenejournal's page.
(People I know can always ask and I'm likely to say 'of course, no big deal', making that offer to a convention population in general, not so comfortable with that)
