The reason I state 'not such a big deal' is that it sounds like the idea they were trying to perpetuate was for people who were WILLING to be involved in the game (indicated by button), not the demanding of people at random.
I like the idea of people able to be silly, even sexually silly, in a safe place under their own control. The 'shared experience' of conventions allows people to do a lot of wacky stuff that doesn't compare to their mundane lives, and to an extent I think that's valuable. As long as nobody gets hurt and nobody is pressured into things.
I've only just found out about this whole thing and may be missing the particulars, I'm filling in my guesses from the cons I've been to - where, as I mentioned, people wearing signs indicating their willingness to touch strangers were not uncommon.
I definitely do not relish the idea of people being constantly approached by skeezy strangers and suggested to harassment.
