Bruh, your area is lousy with them!! Any time I come out there for work, I see 3+, easy. I just hope they're all recalled before someone gets killed. They're a death trap and a half 😔
You could have avoided all of it. ALL. You chose not to. That was hostile. So I repeat, NO, you do not get to ride the coattails of someone who is actually making a difference and pretend like you're for any of it when you actively, knowingly, treated disabled attendees like second class citizens.
I watched two wheelchair users break down in tears. Another took one look at dealers den, said "oh, fuck this" and left the con. I've never cut my losses and just LEFT a con, that I traveled from out of state to attend, because it was such a disaster and literally painful to try to navigate.
Y'all were offered an accessibility coordinator and refused. Y'all refused to put accessible rooms in the room block, and wouldn't even answer disabled attendees until abled attendees started calling you out.
Know what, NO. You do not get to champion someone for improving infrastructure and accessibility, when you intentionally made your con as inaccessible as humanly possible and were openly hostile to disabled attendees. The hypocrisy is off the charts.
That's fucked up, I'm so sorry. There are way too many people in positions of power who have zero idea how to not be a colossal dick about it.
Here's hoping!! Fingers crossed for y'all 💜
Yep, same. I'm pro-2A and I'm still a hard hell no for even prop guns at cons. It's just asking for way, way too many problems. I'd rather someone have to deal with their sad fee-fees over not being allowed a toy, than the actual fallout of allowing that toy.
Trying to find more people here and it's going fine, but I want to just say, please don't be offended if I don't follow you back. It's not that I don't think you're cool, there's just a lot happening in the world and I don't want to hear about it all the time. Love y'all. Just looking out for me 💜
Hello and welcome!! 💜 Love your art, super charming. What kind of music are you enjoying lately?
