Hoo boy. Okay.

1. Events are disappearing because showrunners like AM don't want to share space in the community with any other. Your con actively chokes all of the others around it. Your con wasn't even willing to share a weekend with another event that would've in know way damaged your con at large, but because of your organizers' jealously and greed they made threats against anyone in your camp who wanted to go. THAT is how events die, when they are stomped on by someone bigger for no reason other than existing. Yes, PoP was started as an alternative to your event...but did you ever really sit down and think about why? Spoiler alert, it's because your con had already caused so much damage to the local community, which brings me to my next point.
2. Communities are broken and toxic because people like John and Deneice are completely okay with showing up, driving a massive rift and snapping a community in two, and then acting like the people who were hurt were the ones at fault. That's called victim-blaming and it's a disgusting tactic that you and your con have capitalized on, which makes you abusers.
3. Jfashion is not on the decline you idiot. It is changing but it is not disappearing as long as there are people willing to fight what your con stands for and what it is trying to do. None of you are in it for the love of the community or you'd actually sit down, shut up, and listen to what the community is telling you. Stop pretending like the opposition is small or contained to a few people that can be written off, you have earned every single one of your enemies around the world and you will only gain more the longer you drag this out. Throw in the fucking towel already.
