Most of the attention is welcome. I love seeing people that love the character, happy that they get to hug or pet Amon as well as perhaps get a picture of, or even with Amon, to possibly even dancing with Amon. That's great! I love knowing I can help people feel good about/like that.
Sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable though. At a dance at the last FC while dancing around someone came up to me, seeming a little drunk and said I looked great and they asked to hug, so I hugged them and as the music was playing he started swaying us a bit so I swayed along like, "yay, we're dancing" and all, and then suddenly he started groping me and unzipping the back of my suit, and I was like, "whoa whoa whoa!" Realizing I kind of broke character I quickly began rubbing my thumb and forefingers together motioning you have to pay for those kind of interactions, (being Amon and all) and he kinda snort-laughed and stumbled off, where I then had to goto the bathroom and try to zip myself back up, it wasn't until a kind gentleman came in and help me that I got it all the way back up.
Another time was at the last AC in the dealer's den, I was at Rukis' table, after she announced it via an FA journal that I'd be there so people could come take pics if they'd like, and while I was standing there waiting while Rukis was making a sale to a customer I noticed three guys standing off to the size staring at me while discussing loudly amongst one another all the lewd things they wanted to do to me, and wondering how much it would cost. Even if they were joking, they were doing so while displaying predatory behavior which made me feel uneasy.
While most everything is wonderful, something like the two examples happens pretty much at least once every con. :/
It really is too bad people treat you with such disrespect. At least it seems you handled it with grace! It is also good to know that you dont mind pets since every time I see you I have to pet!

I knew I'd miss something, and can't edit.
