Well, there are two types hardcore of fans for everything. The fans that suck up everything they can get and love it no matter what, and the fans who hold the franchise up to such high standards that they are hard to please. I guess with Indiana Jones I fall into the latter category. Indiana Jones is my favorite movie franchise and Indy is my childhood hero. I will admit I might hold the series to too high standards. I respect that you like the 4th movie. I just can't get passed how disappointing I was with it from the start. They are making a 5th movie soon. Hopefully I will enjoy that one more.

"Negro" is actually the Spanish word for "black". Like, the color black. It's just taken on a derogatory meaning in English speaking countries like the US. I've never actually heard "mongoloid" used to refer to someone who is Asian. Ah, yes! I was talking about this with someone the other day and I couldn't remember his name. He essentially created the racial classifications we use today, and pretty much coined the idea or "race". Of course people have always classified each other by things like culture or skin color or religion, but our modern notion of race came from him.

Modesty changes based on how society changes. It's not a specific code, it's a moral idea that each generation has their own version of. 60 years from now the kids who you claim aren't "modest" will be complain about how the kids of that time aren't "modest". 100 years ago, a girl wearing pants wan't "modest". "Modesty" is not something that will ever die, it just changes because every generation has their new ideas of modesty. As for chivalry. Chivalry is completely different because it was and actual code (there weren't necessarily specific written down rules, but it was still a code), not just an moral idea that changes based on different generations and society. Chivalry was mostly a code for how to conduct yourself in battle, defend the Church (specifically Christian faiths), and wage wars.

On top of all the stuff you guys have said about the earth just collapsing on itself, without the layers under the crust, there would be no magnetic field and the earth would be constantly bombarded with bad stiff like solar radiation, making it extremely difficult for any life to survive. There also wouldn't be enough mass to produce a gravitational pull to have an atmosphere like ours.

Life would be boring with complete harmony. We would also start taking things like peace and harmony for granted. I totally wish for world peace, but I think we need a little chaos in our life to both keep us humble and to spice things up.

The thing that throws me off the most is bad writing, not a specific theme. There are certain themes I don't personally like, but it's all about if the author is a good writer or not. I don't love alicorn OCs, but a good author can pull it off. Nothing throws me off more than a poorly written story. My advice for any authors: learn writing techniques. Pay attention in English class, read lots of books to pick up on techniques, use a dictionary, spell things correctly, pay attention to your grammar, don't be afraid to use fancy vocabulary, vary your sentence lengths, and DON'T CONFUSE THE READER.

Definitely. You don't want to show up and get in trouble for having one.

Your best bet would be to check the conventions website, if they have one. Sometime there is a list of rules, or a Q&A on a website. If you still aren't sure, you could possibly find someone who would be able to give you an answer for that specific convention.

As far as I know, it's not against the law (although I highly advise that you never walk around in public with an airsoft gun unless it is obvious that it is not real), so it is all up to the convention rules. It really depends on the convention. Many allow it, but some don't. Check if projectile weapons are banned. If they are, then don't bring an airsoft gun. If your not sure, ask someone who would know for that specific convention. If you do use an airsoft gun, you need to take precautions just to make sure there is no misunderstandings. Always have an orange tip. I know some conventions don't require orange tips on prop guns, but because airfost guns are not just props, so better safe than sorry. Also make sure it is not loaded and if it is an electric gun, take out the battery. If the gun is only for cosplay and you don't mind making it unusable, I've seen people permanently plug the barrel. Basically, make sure it is obvious that you can't fire the gun.

I'll admit that's possibly why I'm so harsh on the 4th Indiana Jones movie. I also am into film making as a hobby, so not a lot slips by me when I watch a movie. I'm sure the 4th Indy movie would be a little more likable for someone who isn't a big fan of the originals and isn't so observant of all the small things.
