And that's one of the things, we need young people coming to cons, and then running them, because they're the ones that will steer them and keep them relevant to the new generation.
I've no idea about the ages of the complainers, but my first con I was about 13 or 14, and attended by myself i.e. no adult supervision. I've been active in fandom since I was 12, and at no time did I ever have anyone tell me I wasn't welcome at something due to my age.
