Back in my fanclub days I never noticed any groping. - there was a lot of hugging, (some friends and I started this as an excuse to hug boys we liked. . . we were only 15 ok!) but no groping. Even in my twenties - if someone grabs your goodies - its out of line.

Part of the issue may be that as fandom has moved online the traditional boundaries as to what is acceptable and not are being blurred. Just about every sexual practice you can think of is fetishised throughout fic, and if anyone dares say "hey I don't agree with practice X" they are called out as being a censor, a prude whatever.

I can see the same thing happening here. The sexual freeforall that happens in fic is bleeding into real life the lines about what is acceptable are being blurred and anyone not into it is called a freak.

It's not only inappropriate to go up and grab someone's boobs - iit's illegal. A convention is not a swingers party. (And my understanding is that kind of behaviour would get you thrown out of a swingers party too.)
