/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7678571
At least the police showed up. Wonder what they were there for.

http://dashcon.tumblr.com/post/91656982023/dashcon-dashcon-is-filming-our-inaugural-event

yay

Anyone else notice that the staff members several threads ago talked about how there was no singing and shit was made up, but the video of the $17k drive included a segment of, oh wait, people singing 'can you hear the people sing'?

>>7678571
You forgot
>Sunday: cops show up

>>7678580
So a four hour shot of the ballpit?

>>7678584
They said nobody was disturbing the weddings or damaging property, not that nobody was singing.

>>7678580
Oh no....Although I may buy one only to watch it for comedic value

>>7678591
Eh, someone'll rip the entire thing for our viewing pleasure.

This has truly been a fun weekend spent with us coming together. Hopefully, something else will happen after Dashcon that will bring us together once again.

>>7678585
I did. Whoops. Did anyone work out exactly why they were there?

>>7678596
considering all the shit that has happened dashcon fallout will probably continue throughout the week at best.

>>7678580
Why are they still trying to make this thing out like it was a success?
People who've never even step foot in tumblr know it was a failure, or at least have that presumption.
If they're really planning this con for next year they need to at least do some re-branding.

>>7678591
I would too, but the money would just go into a pit of oblivion caused by impending bankruptcy. We're not going to get a video.

get ready for incoming

>>7678580
>It gets cancelled due to the camera man not understanding that he had to pay for the camera before leaving the store

>>7678596
I agree. /cgl/ is more lively then ever. I really needed this with PT dramu being almost non existent and the best alternative being OC drama

>>7678602

im more likely to start a con then dashcon 2 happening

>>7678602
I think it's just delusions for now.
When the lawsuits begin pouring in, that's when Dashcon 2015 gets cancelled.

>>7678605
And so it begins.

Did someone actually piss in the ballpit? I'm hearing talk of it, but have yet to get an official source.

>>7678606

Origin story of Dash Con, from a former organizer.

WARNING: Extremely long, but with skype pics or conversations.

This is the most interesting thing that's happened on /cgl/ since that chick scammed half the lolitas in the US

Update on the origins of DashCon:

http://augustinesycamore.tumblr.com/post/91658737570/here-it-is-part-2-i-found-even-more-junk-on

Long post but it's worth a read. Still not sure if this con was a scam from the get-go but Roxanne sounds like a shady bastard.

Someone pirate the shit out of that. I will watch it and laugh.

>>7678615
The joke is way over their heads. Ignore it.

I put this over in the autosaging on accident thread but here. Ball Pit Chan needed to be fatter.

>>7678620
Scams happen pretty often, so I can only hope this is the right story but basically, if I remember correctly
>Spoiled rich girl's relative dies
>Goes on crazy lolita purchasing spree with daddy's credit card
>Pulls buyer protection card on paypal and gets all of her money back
>Dozens of sellers left with no dress and no payment

>>7678571
Wow, I regret hiding these threads every time they popped up because I didn't know what dashcon was.

it's happening

>>7678628
If you're talking about Maikodolly you're forgetting the part where the mods claimed that everything was OK and they had inside sources telling them that the girl was going to refund everyone, but turns out that their "inside source" was Maikodolly herself.

Still, Maikodolly is just a pale imitation of Mabetgate.

>>7678632
IT HAS BEGUN

>>7678599
no matter how many times I watch this, it's still funny

>>7678632
They seriously still think they can do a Dashcon 2015?

Good god, one was enough. The $17k debacle was enough. If you fuck up that badly on the first night you shouldn't think you'll be getting a second chance.

>>7678632
>do not go in our tag

THE DAMAGE CONTROL ISN'T WORKING CAPTAIN

I've been out of the loop, what is Dashcon and what is going on with it? I want all the dets from the start and this shit sounds like a gold mine of a story.

>>7678633
Right, sorry. I'm not a lolita, so I didn't pay much attention.

Had to rename this from Kickstarter.gif to Dashcon.gif.

Today is a good day. I am ready for DashCon 2015.

>>7678652
I see they're shifting the blame towards Night Vale. Again.

I want to cum inside Ballpit-chan.

Has anyone got proof of the pool piss?

>>7678695
Don't encourage that idiot. He's so desperate for attention.

>>7678680
She's just pretending to be those things for attention because she's scared of being alone.

>>7678695
i didnt know ballpit-chan liked watersports

>>7678662
I didn't know that. Is that just based on the Paul Kidby's art of him in The Last Hero or something?
Still not gonna rename it, alliteration makes it so much easier to remember filenames

She's also scared you won't like her watersports and shitting fetish. She has quite the thing for pinkeye.

but he still reblogs my shit

>>7678713
And the venue isn't even booked yet.
So this really can only end well.

But I guess I'll be seeing you all again next year. Here's hoping that cute fem-Cecil shows up again.

>#dashcon 2015 is in Indy for more space and lower cost. "You don't ever have to go outside" CHEERING LOL. Never change tumblr

>>7678704

>>7678719
lol who the fuck would pay for this mess
I can see a lot of people ghosting next year, but barely any paying attendees

>>7678712
She doesn't have a shit fetish, she has a fetish for shitty grey makeup. Get it right.

>>7678722
We don't care about your bullshit. Fuck off.

>>7678720

>>7678722
So is it true that you are 17?

>>7678722
I guess he really likes being angry.

>>7678731
Come on baby, don't be like that.

>>7678733
People will go next year for the hell of it. Year three will roll around and have no-one show up. Hello dead convention.

>>7678734
Oh you're right, my mistake! I also heard she likes when you penetrate her with model magic horns.

>>7678725
>It's in Indianapolis
>Indiana is so poor it'll take anything
>mfw I'm literally 20 minutes away from Indy and went to the Pokemon nationals at the convention center a week ago

It's like that scene from the Watchmen where Rorschach's mom is revealed to be a prostitute only Rorschach is the people of Indiana and the hooker mom is Indiana and all we can do is watch as she sells herself to feed us.

>#dashcon someone asked if they can make their emails public. "You literally have to take our word for it"
>#dashcon that's so illegal lol they can't show those emails, obviously. Also no more agreements not in writing
>#dashcon apparently the whole legality issue is a non issue for the Illinois dba and artist alley.

>>7678733
All the ghosting people would be from 4Chan. Tumblrtards would probably forget about it and pay again.

>>7678742
Yeah, but her favorite thing is when I go balls deep.

>>7678746

>>7678719
>But the fandoms
But they keep doing it by fandoms and it's obvious they only care about like 5 fandoms. Which are all about white dudes most I question why they are so popular.

>>7678748
Wait I messed up

>CAPTCHA: testicle mistake

>>7678751
it's because they have cheekbones, duh

Wow. This is an even bigger mess than Blythecon. It's like a giant kids' party gone horribly wrong. This is amazing. I'm so coming to next year's just to see the trainwreck in person.

>>7678748
>>7678755
You win anon-chan. I'm dying over here lel.

>>7678738

>oh no guys its totally not a scam we used it for shit that had nothing to do with dashcon2014.

>>7678767
The main story is on Bad Dolly Deals. TL;DR is a fuckton of money was raised for this con that has been going on for a few years, suddenly the money disappears, and to this day it has never been paid back.

On topic, I cannot wait for lawsuits. I love seeing people crash and burn.

>>7678782
Weird to see a Blythe person on cgl. Most Blythe people I meet are 40 year old fat hipster moms.

Just wait until all the kids go back home after this con, and the parents are furious that the con went so bad, and they were let into a bdsm panel. The drama isn't going to end here, just wait a couple days.

Really wouldn't be surprised if a girl comes back claiming to be raped or sexually assaulted in the ball pit or something.

>>7678764

>>7678785
You know, that ballpit deserves a viking burial after all it's seen

beautiful dashcon cosplay

Someone from /pol/ went there, peed in the ballpit and yelled "DEATH TO ISRAEL" without even paying entry

How are these attendees so spineless that they can't even call out these people on their shit. These people are literally surrounded by you.

>>7678796

>>7678782
People still collect Blythes? Most doll people are extremely shitty people though. The higher your popularity, the more you can get away with.

sorry if i'm a bit late to the party on this one but i finally got some information on the actual content of the BDSM panel and apparently it was actually informative and correct.

16-year-old confirms she went to the BDSM panel despite admins insisting everyone was properly ID'd at the door.

>>7678840
Surprisingly not.
I wonder if he was one of the few people they actually got to pay on-time or on-site.

http://jerryterry.tumblr.com/post/91665225542/putting-the-new-casio-to-good-use

here's a song

>>7678759
I was wondering if anyone would bring this up. $36,000 "borrowed" then ONOES must have dolly con, they raise enough money in like 2 weeks so they can still have a ONE DAY "CON" Really it's like 4ish "panels" and one big artist alley. The person that stole the money will probably never have to pay it back since everyone got their con.

>>7678794
Bretty gud!

>>7678840

Clearly this is Ms. Officer and Mr. Truffles cosplay.

>>7678885
but you are a faggot

>>7678847
It was more like 24K (not that it makes it any better) and yes, Blythecon is not a convention like anime cons or comic cons. It's basically a one day meetup with vendors and demos. The thing about the girl that stole that money goes a lot deeper though, as she was friends with many people in the community so it was a betrayal as well as a scam. She had run 2 of them before the "borrowing", and was planning to host several more in the future basically to steal more money. (There was no accounting of the raffle funds that were supposed to go to charity, for example.) And yeah, she totally got away with it since efforts to get the police involved fell apart, and they raised enough money to have the convention anyway.

tl;dr Blythecon is much smaller than something like Dashcon (less than 500 people, one day) so it's not the same kind of disaster.

/k/ here. Thanks for the laughs guys. If I knew you all irl, I'd give you mega deals on ammo.

look at these cosplays

>>7678933
There needs to be a tribute gallery of sorts to those who wasted their time making good or great cosplay for Dashcon.

I nominate >>7675978 for inclusion.

>>7678935
They gave an update and said it had already been resolved.

>>7678951

what about the ones that are advertised on powerline poles? I wanna go to one of those

>>7679001
Gun shows these days exist to swindle shekels from the "obummer gonna take muh guns" crowd.

>>7679008
We talked a little bit about all the shit that went down at Unicon last thread, it's still up

I dunno man, I went to one of the last gun shows in SoCal and I left with a sweet framed picture of two T-Rexes fighting over the meat of a dead dinosaur

>>7678988
I'm decently not shit now (I make average income off art alone if that counts for anything), but I used to be worse than that pic when I started doing cons... and people bought things anyways. Even if they know they can't draw, people spend money so there's hardly a reason to stop.

I saw a post on my dash stating that someone posted a picture of themselves pissing in the ballpit in the dashcon tag.

I didn't check for myself and it's likely to be deleted or buried under hundreds of other posts by now.

The ballpit was confirmed to be deflated yesterday though right?

>>7679008
"The introduction of “Unicon Bits” essentially fake money that can be exchanged for real cash upset many vendors and artists."

Ahahahaha

>>7679018
that was such a good blog until they shilled out to the speglord brony centre of the internet EQD

>>7679012
Try it.

>>7679014
Sadly, yeah it is. I'm a little older and lived in the clinton days and right before the AWB was signed it was utter hell.

>>7679020
That's /k/ as FUCK.

Nowadays I just buy my weapons related gear from armslist people not acting jew-y

has anyone posted that ballpit pissing video yet?

>>7679020
oh shit, I'm in socal! that might be one of the shows that is advertised on the powerline poles!

>>7679030
Because the owners of the con took off, nobody could exchange their unicorn bits. On the last day, everyone used money instead in a scramble to make up for the losses

>>7679026
This isn't really drama ABOUT the con, though. But there is drama at each single con.

Even with bronycon, there is a drama about stolen money for the fist edition and a fire incident in another one.

>>7679042
Have fun getting a non-mutilated gun from a socal show, though.

Feels good being wisconsin, I guess.

>>7679038
I am 99% sure that the guy talking about pissing in the ball pit was full of shit. Nobody's said anything about it but uncorroborated rumors.

>>7678933
does anyone know who this guy is?

>>7678933
I'll say it again, I feel really bad seeing this guy and the few others that actually put time into their cosplay. What a damn waste, I would have loved to take pics despite not being a Borderlands fan.

We have /k/ /mlp/ and /pol/ in this thread. What a weird day.

>>7679050
"like new"
"sand included"

>>7679026
That was proven to be fake even with that letter. There has been no description of the supposed perp. And that cosplayer cut and run the first sign of trouble. It pisses me off to this day that the post has over 40k notes and people almost ubiquitously praising that girl when she should have reported it to the staff members in the first place. Assuming it happened in the first place

>>7679052
It was also deflated yesterday

We can all laugh at autism, can't we?

Even though /k/ is the most autistic board ever

>>7679054
>>7679062
Yeah, I'd really love this dude's tumblr if he's got one.

>>7679071
Wasn't that right after the whole DWM shit?

>>7679064
You have fandoms, tumblr irl, scamming money and jews involved. Everyone is happy.

http://dashcon.tumblr.com/ask
here's the offical tumblr page. I say we spam it with questions about how they feel scamming their patrons out of $17000, etc.

The amount of dashcon shills in here is fucking staggering

>>7679083
Except /jp/

if they had autismbux involved then they would.

>>7679081
DWM essentially ended after the blog went down(which wasn't a result of DWM). But really ever since the intial start of that stupid ass thing there has been a heightened activity of SJW against the pony fandom on tumblr it's been ridiculous.

>>7679093
Dashcon has turned from a poorly planned con to a downright cult

>>7679093
I don't know what you mean. I'm sure Dashcon was great and you should go next year too! :)

Its pretty damn sad that bronycon is better organized than this clusterfuck

>>7679115
For the most part it's always been more organized than this.

>>7679117
The whole PT drama was annoying though.

>>7678978
>Do It For Them

It's one thing for you to make a fucking terrible image with your retarded gay ships, it's another to completely butcher something which has an actual meaning in the process. The Dashcon joke only partially makes up for it.

You know, the unfortunate thing about all of this is that it would've been a great excuse to get people to stop cosplaying Homestuck and Superwholock at anime/gaming/comic conventions.
Because those cosplayers always bitch that there's no place for it, we don't really have any "random Western shit" conventions.
If DashCon was successful, it'd be the right place for it.

>>7679074
>http://princezuko.co.vu/post/91667579610

>>7679125
whaddya talkn about, it's the right place for it regardless of the failure

>>7679125

What better place for total fail than a failcon?

>>7679124
Look at the other half of his cosplay. He's taking the piss out of these people, not supporting them.

>>7679125
SDCC is basically random western shit now that they don't care about comics anymore

I’m kinda disappointed that Dashcon doesn’t have a panel about why Tumblr artists always draw people with extremely red noses

>>7679137

Or any of the 9 million Wizard World conventions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAL_SwWdYB8&feature=youtu.be

I am giggling at how stupid this is.

>>7679140
short answer: they(tumblr artists) understand that the body has red shades because there is blood, but they dont understand that gradients are a thing, nor do they care to try to emulate what skin actually looks like.

>>7679115

>>7679140
Probably because they think it's a normal, everyday thing like breathing. They don't realize how fucking dumb it looks.

>>7679149
Hahaha, I barely remember hearing about this

>>7679149
Two things.

One, holy shit, what happened?
Two, that seems more like a technical problem with the venue, outside of the convention's control.

>>7679125
I remember my first AX
>oh boy I get to go to an anime convention
>40% cosplays are not anime or even anime related things
>shitty self made or kickstarter tier superwholock shirts everywhere
>homestuck everywhere

>>7679149
Details if you don't mind me asking?

>>7678645
Get raped, nigger.

When does the Fond Farewell start?

>>7679155
It was a tech problem. It was just an amusing thing to hear about along with the bronycon orgy.

>inb4 17,000 buck ballpit on craigslist

>>7679155
During the concert the night before people were tossing glowsticks in the air. What happened is that one of them hit the light fixture.

The next day during a panel the light caught fire and the convention center had to be evacuated. Nothing was damaged and no one was hurt. Convention continued after a delay

>>7679164
Two and a half hours ago.

>>7679169
Ah I had no idea about the glowstick bit. Thanks for that, Anon.

>>7679157
I remember loving cons as a teen in the early 2000s, but then I started going again a few years ago and it just isn't the same. AX had just moved to Long Beach when I went and it was an ugly clusterfuck, and I couldn't even get into SDCC. I just stick to the cons in the PNW now.

I saw in one of the other threads people grabbing info of other failed conventions, but one I constantly see missed happened nearly seven years ago. It was a big thing, the FBI got involved, but it was quietly swept under the internet rug.

It involved Rich Stott (of Anime Vegas), The Otaku, and the people who scammed the shit outta them. I found these links to show it existed, I kinda wish cons like this and Las Peg and Dashcon had all their mishaps displayed together to warn people of some of the dangers.

At least Dashcon didn't hide behind charity for cancer.

>>7679125

Totally fucking agree. Except it's usually first-timers that end up with those shit cosplays. con veterans are such a minority nowadays. It seems like everyone going to cons now is going for their first time. where the fuck did all these people come from?

>>7679147
Yeah. I do add a reddish-brown tint to elbows and knees, because those are a tiny bit darker than the rest of your skin, but I blend it out a lot. Red noses are only for winter pictures.

What I wonder is why they have those ugly bulbous noses. My nose looks like that and it's not cute or something to be proud of.

>>7679162
toto, i don\t think we're in /cgl/ anymore

>>7679165
Were there really that many women there? I can't imagine all those MRA dudes boning each other, nor do I want to.

Nah, you're in Kansas still. But the neo-nazis wound up in your neighborhood.

>>7679180
oh the bulb shape thing. I could trace that back to penny arcade, gabe used to draw some of the comics with red tint and bulb noses. but you won't get a tumblr artist to ever admit to reading penny arcade.

>>7679184
You mean Tumblr.

Only gone once in 07. Had a great time. Met a couple of anons from New York back when 4chan was still a secret club.
Bought my friends and I dinner. Helped them figure out the floor. Sad I didn't get their emails or numbers. Lost them before the Seth Rogan panel.

>>7679176
Try going to smaller, less industry-based cons.

>>7679196

That is an incredibly stupid opinion.

>>7679212

Yes, we are. Your point?

>>7679203
I remember that in 07, the fire marshalls showed up and told the organizers that they were going to have to kick out some of the people at the con. Think that was the first time. Ever since then, you haven't been able to get passes at the convention center. My pals keel telling me that sell out months in advance now at almost triple the price of when I went.

>>7679219
Nothing really. Just seeing boards come together to discuss a topic is refreshing.

>>7679189
We don't need no funds now let the Dashcon fuckers burn

>>7679194
I don't think we need to be /tumblr/ to know shitposting when we see it.

>>7679220

I got badges for SDCC this year. It cost $200 and they sold out in less than an hour.

>>7679220
I'm pretty sure all the badges sell out within hours, with the 4-day pass selling out right away.

>>7679209
I am new here from /a/ (around 1.5 months), but I have noticed that this kind of behavior is extremely scarce in the other threads. It is just so happens to be concentrated in this thread. /cgl/ seems to be one of the nicer boards.

Also from Dashcon.

One good thing about this:

I've been trying to find that Night Vale thing for months after hearing about it on the Slate Culture podcast, but I could never remember the name. So thanks for bailing, guys, I'm ready to check you out now.

>>>/mlp/18711885
Oh god, here we go.

>>7679232
That /k/ guy here. It can be, but my personal favorite, content wise, has to be /ck/ and /vr/.

>>7679209
/pol/, /k/, and possibly /b/ and /mlp/ are visiting /cgl/ for the DashCon drama. They won't be here for long, just until everything gets settled.

/fa/ and /soc/ can't seem to leave, though.

What's up /cgl/! Long time lurkfag here just coming by to make your day even better by letting you all know that Guillermo del Toro has been contacted about the illegal showing of the film at Dashcon. I can't go into specifics or else they'd know who told because I am on staff but this will hopefully give you guys some more laughs.

>>7679220

Maybe I missed it, but isn't there/shouldn't there be some kind of shared doc on common con fiascos, because stuff like that fire code thing has happened again and again.

Never mind idiot simple stuff like finding out if you have to pay hotel fees in advance. Often, hotels are not only going to want to be paid up front for events, but will want insurance or a deposit.

This is especially the case with fandom cons, which tend to descend like locusts and be about as destructive.

>>7679102
Shut the fuck up, DWM wasn't convention related you shits.

The fact you people still talk about it after it's all fucking over shows what petty dramafags you are.

>>7679177
Searching for it I found two gaia threads ranting about it but there isn't much... Do you have more deets?

>>7679264
My friends keep buying that shit and come back from San Diego complaining about how other fandoms are taking over the con. Kind of glad I got priced out. SDDC just seems like a hassle now.

>>7679262
If I watched the new Godzilla movie correctly, she currently has millions of eggs inside of her and she's searching for radioactive material to feed them

>>7679254
Agreed. I lost interest once they did lots of continuity. The randomness of each episode early on was what hooked me. Also having other peoples voices ruined the illusion.

>>7679272
That's kind of a cool way to do wings. The execution could be better, but I like the concept

>>7679254
They really hit a stale point around then, yeah. They actually got some good overarching plot going recently though, got me back into it

>>7679276
I hear you.

I stay at /k/ because I love it when a cowadooty retard comes in talking about gunz.

Shit, we had a guy yesterday ask about what gun his mother should carry for her job and one guy gave him excellent advice, but kept on insisting his mother was a prostitute for like five posts. It was great.

This is why I hate "geek" phenomena.
Is this possible to just like something without having fandom and "fandom business"?
I mean: today, there are a lot of young people who just like stuff that's see as "geek" and try to put these stuff in their life style. Meanwhile, there are people who make money from this because they capitalize on this kind of phenomena...

>>7679286
Eh. Ill check it out again. I rather listen to this american life or radiolab though

>>7679232

It's hard to beat /po/ in politeness.

>>7679254
the whole "carlos is perfect i love carlos he will be mine he is so perfect" skeeved me the fuck out because i've had that happen to me. thankfully my friends are chill with it and don't pester me.

>>7679259
He'll probably just pass it on to his legal department and forget it for the time being. I mean, I'm sure the legal team is gonna get shit done, but del Toro himself probably won't get directly involved until an actual lawsuit comes up.

>>7679296
that's one thing that changed with later episodes actually

>>7679254
>>7679283
If you guys enjoy the style of Night Vale but not the fandom-y lameness of the actual podcast, check out George Saunders and Steven Millhauser. Their stories aren't as /x/-y but you can really see their influence on WTNV.

>>7679263

>>7679266
That's exactly the problem.

This is about Dashcon and the tumblr drama behind it. It's not a tumblr drama board. Tumblr drama about other things non-related to Dashcon is open to being reported.

how many days until the dashcon admins suddenly fly the coop and vanish?

You need a better summary or no-one will care.

>>7679064
/ck/ and /tg/ here too

dashcon brings us together as a community

>>7678751
> Which are all about white dudes most I question why they are so popula

Because they add homoerotic subcontext into the plot line and that suddenly makes the show okay in their eyes.
And when called out on it, they like to shield themselves by saying everything's about heterosexuality and that's why they think they can do it.

Fandoms on tumblr are so big because of their stupid headcanons.

>>7679317

>>7679317
well I meant more of "boy I sure am getting alot of important looking mail from attorney offices..." and then hearing they booked it for mexico to make El guióncon

>ITT: we r legion against dashcon XD autists

>>7679292
The biggest problem is that it's "chic" now. It's accepted, so tons of them will join up because they are trying to get into what's "in" right now. It's what's pretty much threatened to destroy video games, it's what obliterated animation, and many other things fall short thanks to it.

Fandom bullshit mainly comes from a lot of people who are trendy in "Geek" shit. These are the same people who get into Kingdom Hearts because OMG AKUROKU ^W^ SQUEEE and the same people who comprised 90% of the Invader Zim fanbase. Only now they have become "Sophisticated" by masturbating over British men with cheekbones whilst telling the world to check their respective privileges.

>>7679330
Piss off.

>>7679328
>DashCon '15 cancelled out of nowhere

I'm not going to lie, it's weird not having the whole of 4chan hating you, infact, it's almost pleasant to have some common ground.

It IS about a con. Also, I'm pretty sure the threads about it on /co/ got blammed, so this was the next place to go, really. It's the same as anytime when IT'S HAPPENING that people go to /pol/, and when Oculus Rift was kill that everybody went to /v/.

>>7679332
it's gotten fucking horrifying over the years.

video game fandoms are the absolute worst though. Kingdom Hearts is actually a pretty cool game but fuck 'fandom' man, I just like to play fun games that are fun

>>7678644

>>7679364
why not just ignore fandoms entirely? I get by pretty well by doing that

>Fandom bullshit mainly comes from a lot of people who are trendy in "Geek" shit. These are the same people who get into Kingdom Hearts because OMG AKUROKU ^W^ SQUEEE

I never got that impression, actually. The SQUEE XD crowd are obnoxious, sure, but are generally legitimately... strange, and actually care about whatever they're being obnoxious about. "Geek chic" people are generally way more normalfaggy.

>>7679371
Applefags?

>>7679369
I do for the most part

got my practice in early many many moons ago when I read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac in 8th grade and enjoyed it

people who are into vidya and don't actually play games, though... I can't lie about the status of my jimmies

>>7679370
i hate to break it to you... but all of 4chan is just a series of containment boards. So quit sinking to the level of /v/ with the attitude

>7679177
Here's what I know, I attended the event myself when it was in Vegas, but didn't stick around long. Basically, a guy named Jeff (who ran his own corp so he looked legit on paper) contacted both Adam of TheOtaku to help promote an event for breast cancer awareness and anime. He wanted to hold it in Vegas and asked for Rich's help since he runs AnimeVegas. There was a major art contest for the event, which included winners receiving brand new just came out consoles (it was like 06/07 so getting a PS3, X360, Wii was like a holy crap moment for fans).

Basically, any promise made was a lie. All three guests, brought in by Rich, weren't given a hotel. They were somehow managed to be flown out, but this Jeff guy leaves in the middle of Saturday and no one can get a hold of him. He just takes the entire cash box while Adam of TheOtaku is counting the votes for this art contest (because he still seemed under the impression this was on the up and up). So Jeff leaves for lunch and several hours later you have voice actors without a hotel, Adam has no flight home, etc. I know one of the VOs was Kyle Hebert, but it's been so long I don't recall the others.

Rich actually pays for all of this out of his own pocket. He makes sure the voice actors are taken care of and tries to do damage control for an event he was only trying to aide (it wasn't really his event at all).

Adam went on a spree of trying to reveal what Jeff and his corp did, and how they were shams. The really surprising thing is a good deal of it is off the internet now. Last I knew is that Rich and Adam got the FBI involved. As to what happened to "Jeff" or anyone associated with him, I have no idea.

On another note, if I recall correctly vendors got screwed over by not having supplies they asked for, enough tables, etc. I never even got to go into vendor room since it seemed like chaos in there (I was also 14 at the time & it was my 2nd convention ever; so I had no idea if this was normal)

>>7679391
The best thing they can do with that deflated and abused ball pit is to send it into the sun to fuel the fire. At least then Dashcon will have contributed something to society.
