Otakucon (No relation to the US monster, though they assure Otakon knows about them and 'approves') looks set to run in the middle of December, three weeks after the largest anime con of the year. With as many big-name guests as the largest con of the year, and a ticket price that's less than 2/3rds of the cost. (20 a weekend, to the more normal 35 that cons seem to have settled on, like a group of local petrol stations matching prices. It was already looking to be a bit of a fail when people started wondering just how they were expecting to cover Venue, Guests and all the other ancillaries - especially since it doesn't seem to be attached to a college.

It's especially galling when there is evidence they probably can't. 5 years ago, the largest con in the country pulled in 6-700 people, and with a E20 ticket price and a lower cost for the venue because it was using a college venue at the time, could afford exactly 1 guest.

The Otakucon crowd have to cover a venue, multiple guests and are running with a low ticket price and unless some tricky money wizardry is happening. It's not happening just on 'personal savings'.

And pointing this out, immediately had the Director (And PR specialist after their original PR guy was canned after 3 days, and Trade Liason) claiming harassment and [sic]'deformation', and threatening to make a complaint to the police. Before finally addressing and saying he'd pay for the whole convention from "his savings, like the big boys", and he'll "find a really good agent to get a voice actor to reduce their appearance fee". Those're actual quotes, and neither of them engender confidence. Being charitable, one might call them hopelessly naive.

The fact that the director threw a total wobbly on 4chan over it might be telling.

This is, not to put a fine point on it, already shaping up to be a fine bit of a Charlie Foxtrot, and we're still three months away. There's even going to be a Ballpit

Why are they calling it Otaku con then when they know the connotation of it?

I really feel like we do need something like Arcade but better though. I'm not as into anime now but I spent so long into it that it's always going to be an interest to some degree, so my ideal con is something that combines western comics/geek stuff with a bit of anime & manga & vidya.

I was actually drinking with Jayse and Fitzy and a couple of the Eirta lads a good few months back and we were joking about the drama and how glad I was that I'm not a part of it.

I don't think it's entirely possible to have a drama free con. For definition of drama. Something'll always happen. Get 700-1000 weirdos in one or two room, you're bound to get something. It's a big-enough profile event.

Fuck, I know I seem to manage to spread it even while claiming to hate it somehow. I don't even know why.....

Although, this Otakucon mess rather deserves to be talked about, IMHO. Bitching about cons is one thing, but that does no harm. OTOH, this thing tanking could make everyone look less favourably on Irish cons as a whole because it's far more public than a few snide comments from trolls in 4chan.

Also no free t-shirts saves some money. A con can be run cheaply but he'll have to be more creative with what he has to compensate. I would at least wait and see how organised they are in the weeks leading up the con?

We're meant to be so fucking social but in reality we're an insular but noisy culture.

Cons are another example of this to a degree. It seems really open and it used to be genuinely really great seeing cosplayers and meeting people and I really miss the feeling I had for my first few cons. But the problem is the people I meet at cons... like we're both geeks, whatever, but I'm not the same sort of straight up awkward nerd as them, I'm not into that kind of culture.

People tend to look at the fact that I'm an activist type and proclaim me "too negative" (a problem I used to have when suffering from depression) for example. Like, I don't want to go around flagging myself as a social justice warrior just to make sure I don't attract that crowd but what I am supposed to do? it's a waste of effort networking with people who turn out to be really fucking insensitive towards things that affect me and my friends.

I remember having a huge argument with Nikki Ward - granted someone I hadn't really befriended, about her vaguely pro-life stance, she said some amazingly slut shamey/whorephobic shit and just deleted it and pretty much got away with it. When I say anything at all, it tends to be under scrutiny. But call young women sluts for getting pregnant? cool.

There's just a lot of this bullshit in the supposedly open and progressive geek scene and it's not worth getting to know people who ultimately i can't relate to even if we can bond over cosplay or a show we like. i want to be around people who stimulate me somehow, who i can interact me and who won't judge me for the shit I do.

It's just too stressful doing the whole thing and maybe a very small minority of people I've added are worth adding. Don't think I Really made any new "friends" at Kaizoku. Granted it's partly because sometimes I',m shit at following up relationships too.

idk where else to find people with common interests though as the average person isn't that into anime or comics.

The faggots calling the faggot a faggot were wrong. As usual. But the other faggots asking that faggot how the con was able to afford so much stuff on such a low price had a point, at least.

And sure, why ouldn't he have just said:
"I have enough money in the bank in personal savings"
"We aren't offering t-shirts and ancillaries like other cons, so it costs us less to run"
Stuff like that's more believeable.

He'll be lucky to get 700-1000 at that time of year. (That's about wat nom-con pulled, isn't it?). How many attendees does he expect to get?

At that price, with that many guests, he's taking a big loss, even if he is covering it with savings. Guests are not cheap. Flights from the US (California or Texas usually, and neither are cheap to get to). Accommodation. Appearance fees.

It's a hell of a lot of money to blow an ego project. If he has the cash to do it, fair fucks to him and good luck running it. But the doubts are there, and are I would say, reasonable.

Dont be a dumb shit, every college might ask for different amounts, sure. But no college is going to let you use their venue without insurance.

Personally, I can see one of 2 things happening.
1) ALL the weebs go, they have a surprisingly good first year. Followed by that idiot either pissing away all the money, or fucktons of money mysteriously disapearing.
2) the whole thing tanks. the highlight will be the ball pit, which will be full of bitter guests piss by the end of the weekend, and nobodies getting paid.

people have mentioned my full name on here before. people have also posted logs with names, etc and it's very easy to find out the names of people involved. if everyone's so against me, what's the problem anyway?

>Is no excuse to be a cunt, sorry.

if you guys don't want to do this, then just drop it. you can let a post i make go by if you don't like it's content. again, it's a lot harder to ignore being continually hounded or the subject of shitty transphobic/allistic jokes.

i look down on you because you have harassed me continually for years and shown me no sympathy even when i've been in very bleak situations. i have every right to do that. i have no reason to extend respect to people who are either making transphobic, ableist or otherwise shitty/bullying comments or are standing with those that do.

I have literally no cause to show you respect. you're the ones who keep harassing me - you break the cycle. it's not up to the marginalised person to be nice to the dickheads heckling them. you started harassing me in this case because i shared an experience in the con scene. you cannot do that and then demand i show respect and consideration for you. i already did that when i came in here trying to make normal conversation, and you took a shit on it. you collectively handwave away all personal responsibility and assign it to the person who already has to shoulder the most burden.

seriously, i made a post you didn't like and you've been hurling shit at me for like a day. you don't then turn around and bitch someone out for looking down on you for doing exactly that. nowhere outside of somewhere like here would consider that anything other than unreasonable/batshit. i have no obligation to be nice to my abusers. ever. if you went after me - don't complain.

victim blaming. and i probably think about it a lot more than you, since i'm on the receiving end of it.

stop trying to justify abuse. i'll stop acting high and mighty the minute you stop acting like ignorant, abusive fuckwads.

>you really need to take a long hard look at yourself.

i really really don't. i spent more time doing that in the last few years than you will in a life time. your little culture, and society in general constantly tells people like me to do that. whereas you can go on throughout your day oblivious to how much of a gobshite you're being. none of you are taught that you need to self-assess and that's the problem. you always assume the outlier is wrong.

>>7835063

i want you to stop making transphobic jokes. my trans status should be irrelevant for the points i'm making. but you should definitely keep it in mind that most people like me have a seriously hard time already, and have reason to be on edge/frustrated because we deal with a lot of bullshit. not every trans person has the same experience either though, so stop using the few that disagree against me. /lgbt/ is also a terrible example in general. nowhere on 4chan should be used as a progressive example of anything, it's aggressively anti-feminist/social justice.

funny that you'd think it's perfect when it's exactly akin to the victim blaming logic people use with regards rape & abuse. i shouldn't even have to say that i don't consider it the same thing, but you idiots are so impossibly disingenuous i better qualify that just in case.

assholes are not natural hazards. you are continually making the decision to harass me, to make transphobic jokes, to demean me because of my condition. those are choices you people make and this post only illustrates my point that you seem to think personal responsibility doesn't apply to *you*.

even if i am "provking" a response, i am not provoking the fact that you are transphobic, ableist, or a generally abusive asshole. that's ultimately on you, not me. at worst i'm poking the nest, but the difference here is that you choose to be angry bees.

there is no way a sane, reasonable and moral person can look at this thread and come to the conclusion that i'm the villain. you are going out of your way to be abusive. i'm simply calling you on it, and demonstrating quite how abusive you can be.

And how exactly do you know anything about our lives? how can you know if our lifes are not as bad, or even worse than your own?

you need some serious perspective.

what gives you the right to call anyone on anything?
why can't people call you on your bullshit then?
how come the same rules you bash people with do not apply to you?

do you have some sort of god complex or something? either way you are incredibly narcissistic for someone who clearly hates themselves.

no, you don't say "you know what's worse when victim blaming" when victim blaming is pointed out. you acknowledge it's victim blaming, recognise it's fucked up and call out the people doing it. don't harass the victim more about it, because that is yet more victim blaming. the "professional victim" meme/myth should not be used to further harass a person who is actually a victim in a given situation.

i don't like considering myself a victim because it's a position of weakness. i'm a survivor. but you are still attempting to victimise me with what you are doing. don't do that and then complain about people "making themselves" into the victim, because it only shows you up to being completely self blind in a way CWC couldn't even manage.

if you don't consider yourself a victim, then why do you act like one all the time?

You don't know who we are. You know what we want. If you are looking for sympathy, I can tell you we don't have patience. But what we do have are a very particular set of skills; skills We have acquired over many long years of conventions . Skills that make us a nightmare for trannies like you. If you leave the thread now, that'll be the end of it. We will try not look for you, We will try not pursue you. But if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will punch you around.

again. you are defending victim blaming. that is fucked up. full stop. stop reaching for technicalities. stop attacking me as narcissistic or whatever other convenient delusions you have about my personalities.

you are wrong. you are supporting abusive thinking and blaming the person on the receiving end for what other people decide to do to them. the trigger for all this abuse was one post sharing my experiences in the con scene. at worst i called someone who was an anti-choice dickhead.

good job being part of the machine that defends people like that?

as for the OTHER PEOPLE HAVE IT WORSE THING -

““You can’t complain when other people have it worse” is a lie that people in power tell because it sets people in bad circumstances up in a competition. It means when we share our stories, we are always quietly fighting for the prize of being the worst off, and getting a tiny scrap of sympathy.

That keeps us from getting together and asking, why are our circumstances so bad and how can we make them better? It means only one person gets to complain and that person does it alone. As opposed to people working in concert to change their lives, to give each other strength and advice and encouragement."

are you one of the people complaining about the asylum seekers because we have homeless people?

i don't invalidate other people's difficulties. you guys do that. being white cis and male is not a "difficulty" though, being poor is. it's not my fault you don't understand that there are multiple ways in which someone can be shat on. whatever particular way you believe yourself to be shat on, stop telling me my disability isn't real or thinking it's okay to use my transness against me.
