reposting for new page because holy poo poo i'm dying

someone on tumblr posted:

So the Dashcon story thus far is this, according to on-site witnesses:

A bunch of Tumblr kiddies all got rooms in the same pre-booked hotel, which the Dashcon staff supposedly had a verbal agreement with the staff of to pay them after the con, but the hotel contract said before. Thus, the Dashcon attendees and other various Tumblr sundries scraped seventeen thousand dollars together in like an hour (without any verification of whether or not the Dashcon staff actually needed the money or whether they were just scamming a bunch of kids), donated it to the hotel’s PayPal (which confused the gently caress out of the hotel staff), and are currently protesting in the hotel’s lobby by singing Les Miserables songs to a bunch of underpaid and exhausted hotel employees with no control over the situation.

Leave it to Tumblr users to conduct the single most embarrassing fan convention in world history

- con staff trying to push more expensive tickets onto people that apparently came with a Steam Powered Giraffe show ticket (which is apparently not happening)
- vendor hall mostly empty for some undisclosed reason
- Welcome To Night Vale ditched the con and cancelled their panel and performance when DashCon would not pay them. attendees sat in the room for an hour before they got an explanation
- people paid RESERVE SEATS months in advance for the WTNV panel
- Con staff insisting they had people in the thousands attending and present at the venue, when real numbers were closer to 500
- Panels and events were not planned at all, with hotel mints being given out as prizes
- Games room had just a single TV in it and some tables
- there was a BDSM panel and DashCon could get sued for allowing minors into it, along with other +18 panels where they did the same
- some people started to sing Let It Go and were verbally assulted
- DashCon now blaming the bank for not being able to pay WTNV
- people are demanding partial or full refunds (and they will not likely see any of it due to the con not actually having any money)
- it has already spread around that DashCon was likely a scam
- last night they ran an emergency #SaveDashCon thing and raised like 17,000 bucks
- nobody knows where it went
- most of their contracts were verbal only
- rumors of the venue now threatening to shut the whole thing down

Book to Movie Adaptations - Ever read a book and then went to see the movie adaptation and almost ripped your hair out? Ever seen a movie and then bought the book and read it and almost ripped your hair out? We know the feels. Talk about those feels here with other feelsy people, discuss how angry certain adaptations made you feel, admire those you thought were well done. Talk about ALL the books and movies!

Yes, but due to time restrictions they had to combine it with the BDSM panel.

Dash Con: First 10 minutes of Up. Futurama dog. We know those feels, haha. "Them feels." Frozen Song, Adventuretime genderswap, ahhhh the feels. The ragtag sprawl of the View Askewniverse? So awe, much feels. Need to talk with some feelsy folk? Looks like Dash Con is a Thing. Genreshaming? Kinkshaming? Gendering the hero? Uhh, "Can u not." Whedon Feminist? [visibly squinting at teleprompter] Doctor Who? Neil Gaiman Whedon, and Whedon Google and Whedon GIF. Fandom envy. A battered, bleeding Homestuck troll looks defiantly toward a burning horizon. Empowerment in Kill la Kill. Dark Whedon. Chubby flustered Zangoose tugs at tight one-piece swimsuit

Child: I need to give you seventeen thousand dollars.
