You know, I distinctly remember that not even being an original idea.
I remember something about a con that had these colour badges one could wear to indicate if they were up for conversation or not. The SJWs roundly mocked the idea though since it came from a brony con iirc.
Now me? I propose we have a badge for "Please shut up Dobson: Nobody wants to listen to you." They'd probably sell like the Apple products Wu-Sempai adores so much.

It's not even original in that context. Some student nightclubs in Britain regularly hold 'Traffic Light Parties' where you wear colours based on your availability. Red means don't bother, yellow means talk to me but don't expect anything and green means down to fuck. Pretty sure that's been going since at least the 90's

Definitely, I mean I do collect pin badges, but only cool ones, I could not be paid vast wads of cash to add these to my collection.

I don't get it, if you don't want to interact with anyone, why are you in a convention in first place?...if you don't want to talk to someone, say it. This reminds me of those dog collars with signs like "friendly" or "no dogs".

...granted, talking to strangers is something you need to learn, but using these buttons?
This is like giving up, like not trying at all, like... okay I can see why Dobson likes them.
No matter what is printed on them, these buttons read:
"I am socially awkward, you better never speak to me. Also my parents failed in raising me."

Much like the dog collars it's an excuse to be poorly behaved.
Oh I didn't train my dog he may bite but I want to take him out in public anyway. But I had a collar you're at fault he ran up and bit you! Didn't you read!
For Dobson, I'll put this button on, that's why no one's talking to me, it's not I'm insufferable disrespectful and poor at my craft. Phew, button you saved me ego.

Okay, so a bit of power-leveling here- but I've suffered from severe social anxiety for most of my life, yet I still find these buttons patronizing as fuck.
Like trigger warnings, these serve no other purpose but to keep people in their comfort zones and stagnate, instead of actively working on their issues and improving themselves.
Also, you're at a convention. You paid to be in a large group of like-minded people who want to interact with other like-minded people. If you're really that opposed to talking to others, just save your money and stay at home.

Dobson would be the jackass who would proudly wear a button that reads "$1 for viewing me, $2 for signatures, $5 to view artwork."

Yeah, this is Dobson's theme song. Someone should force him to listen to this.

Anyone with actual social anxiety would sooner scoff at these than actually wear one. Who came up with these? Who thought this was a good idea? WHO WEARS THESE (besides Dobson obviously)???
