Ooh you sure showed them! Damn will their feelings be ever so slightly hurt! This reminds me of that guy who posted on here a few years ago about a security guard trying to get him to take off his nWo shirt at a WWE taping and his response was to do a DX crotch chop and a Benoit throat cut action while people in his section apparently cheered him on. WHAT A BADASS

Yeah, I read about it, even considered starting a thread myself. I think this thing is a microcosm with everything wrong with the worst members of the Tumblr userbase: complete disconnect from reality, immaturity, irresponsibility, hypocrisy, unhealthy obsession with fandoms, etc... I especially love the fact that they had a panel denouncing the sexualization of women in the media... right after panels about gay ships (for the benefit of heterosexual females of course) and the sexiest British men with cheekbones. Look, I'm all for ensuring that all people are treated with respect and aren't reduced to sex objects (although I'll also argue that there's nothing wrong with sexualizing adult people as long as you acknowledge that it's just a fantasy and they are still human beings and should be treated as such), but you can't on one hand condemn the objectification of women while simultaneously glorifying that of men. And yeah, the lack of screening of minors at 18+ panels... how is that even possible? That would literally be the first thing I'd think about while organizing something like that. And it's not even like it's difficult: "got your ID? No? Then you're out. Got your ID? Yes but you're under the age of 18? You're out too. Got your ID AND you're 18 or more? Go ahead". Then again, several organizers apparently were minors themselves so I guess they couldn't tell other people whether or not they were allowed in. And of course there's the infamous impromptu fundraiser where attendees apparently started harassing hotel employees like it's their fault that the hotel management allegedly tried to stiff them, showing that hashtag activists have no clue in their head who actually has power over what and have no problem going after people who have done nothing wrong just so they can wave their finger at people from atop their mighty soapboxes and feed their persecution complexes. And of course that's assuming the con organizers weren't just scamming them as their written contract specified they had to pay upfront and they apparently only had a verbal contract that they could pay after the con (the fact that the organizers just kind of hoped they'd raise enough money during the con being yet another example of their complete lack of understanding of reality), and on top of that the hotel management supposedly wasn't even aware that they allegedly asked to be paid immediately. Here's another first-hand account of how abysmal the organization was (language warning): augustinesycamore.tumblr.com/post/91592502875/here-goes-i-decided-to-write-up-my-personal

I vote that we call the ball pit the "Pit of Danger." But it'll have to be WAY bigger than that one because we have to be able to walk for miles through it.

Yeaaaaaaaah Either there was some serious rope burn (as I imagine that no one at the BDSM panel was a professional qualified to actually do this sort of thing for public demonstration) or Dashcon gave out STI's as swag. Imagine if some of the affected were minors, who were apparently let in and not checked for ID? Arrests and lawsuits are on the way.
