As in revolting because the staff want to require attendees be vaxxed or they are revolting because they don't want that to be a requirement? If it's a bunch of commies my guess is the latter, in which case good riddance to them. I literally just had covid a few weeks ago and it was more or less just a persistent flu. The only people covid is really dangerous to are the elderly (who don't go to cons), the obese (who will be dead soon regardless), and the very young (who shouldn't be going to cons anyway.)

It's essentially that. The con started giving some volunteers money, esp. department heads and ADHs. Some senior staffers smelled opportunity and demanded more money, personal hotel rooms, fewer hours, more control over programming and seats on the board. That's as much as I got from the posts.

What I've heard from an uninvolved staffer is that the senior staff who revolted did it in a seriously ugly way- attacking other staffers, the CEO, the board... you know the kinda stuff that endears you to the people you're making demands of.

So it's just the same bullshit a lot of cons deal with, only made to seem super dramatic.

Ohayo isn't run by any more commies or troons than usual they're just disconnected from reality just like everyone in this thread :skull emoji:

Pretty much exactly as stated, and only a few notes to add.
> COVEN wanted the con to be organized as a “collective” under tax code 501 C 6 so they could pocket the profit each year instead of using it to you know, pay for next year’s Ohayocon.
> this is pants on head retarded because 501 C 6 is a tax code for things like chambers of commerce, homeowners associations and THE FUCKING NFL!
>Cody, the guy that got sacked, tried to steal the “Sakura logo” from Sakura Colors, a big stationary company that SELLS PRODUCTS IN OHAYOCON’S DEALERS ROOM! He was fired because he caught the convention a C&D from Sakura Colors.

Hilton's on the other side of the light bridge, you have no reason to go to that hotel, you'll be fine. I'm pretty patient with people crossing through or do my shit around like 1700~1800 when I know there's basically no one there. It was fine for Galaxycon last month, it'll be fine for this con if it's as 'empty' as they claim to be.

Salem / PA-ish area isn't a bad drive for a day con. It really depends on what you have to do that day and how much money you have to blow.

"unionizing" seems to be the latest trend that everyone seems to be getting in on. These days people are talking about getting into unions without even knowing what they want but just thinking that it's what they should be doing. Doesn't surprise me that a bunch of losers, freaks, and trannys decided to shitcan an entire con over an elementary school-tier tantrum.

This was my first con in a good handful of years, and my first with real money I can spend after getting a real job, but were the dealer's rooms of the past always this poor? Besides the specialty vendors who sold blades or expensive clothing, the room was cramped with the same mass produced figures or basic ass plushies you can find on amazon any day of the week at every other stall, or $300+ statues that only the diehard fan would want. Am I blind or is there a just no middle range on merch anymore?

dealers are generally only really good at cons with an industry presence like ax/acen/nyc or if you're lucky and find a vendor selling obscure shit. 90% of booths are marked up stuff you'd find on amazon or mandarake but people buy things at cons for the novelty not for savings.

Dealers is usually extremely hit or extremely miss depending on what you’re looking for. I didn’t see any Project Moon or Limbus stuff in the artist alley, and my gunpla back log is pretty full so I got a few belts for example. But I’d say it was pretty generalized.

Nice dude, I wanted to stay and chat more. I don't watch a bunch of anime anymore but I go for the cosplay and people watching.

I've only cosplayed as the critic twice, the first time I did it I had a person actually throw trash at me so you're not alone. this time everyone was so chill and nice at this convention. I guess it comes with the territory of dressing in a meme cosplay

That's an awesome idea, I'd join you for next year as something. My friend wants to cosplay too. Could get a cool idea together. I'm looking into other bigger Midwest cons to go, this was the most fun I had in a while.

But yeah we could do a cosplay together if you want.
