Kidd isn't rich, they shouldn't have to be doing this. What a loving farce.

Outside of the interpersonal creepiness the main issue seems to be the fact that they just didn't know what they were doing and refused help (possibly because of the aforementioned creepiness). If a silver lining can be glinted from this cloud of swamp gas, it's that a lot of people wanted to help, and wanted this to be a success, which I think bodes well for queer people in the industry as a whole.

I'm not a businessman and certainly am not planning to set one up but I know some of the core rules of running a business: tracking profit/loss and outgoing to make sure you can budget effectively, making sure that the event you are planning has a sound business plan and realistic prospects of breaking even (or achieving a satisfactory loss that might get covered by other revenue streams: most wrestling shows lose money after all) and also not taking on debt just to keep the lights on unless you have a strategy to turn things around. Especially the first - the idea that this was being ran without a loving BALANCE SHEET is incredible to me. Like I don't have the money to organise a wrestling show (well if I took all of my savings out and combined them I might have enough to run one but no more) but if I did I'd have a spreadsheet with at the least all of the outgoings (split by paid/yet to be paid) and income streams so I could tell where exactly we were financially at any point. You also frankly should not be holding an event of any sort if a shock $75 bill cannot be paid: you probably shouldn't be running one if you couldn't fund it all yourself regardless of any income - at least that way everyone gets paid.

Venomous posted:this really couldn't have happened at a worse time. In the wrong hands, the latter could be Gamergate levels of demonization. But the former is no different from the bog standard hotdog-and-handshake indie promoters who overpromise and underdeliver (which I absolutely plan to remind anyone I meet who implies that this behavior is in any way a queer-exclusive thing).

Considering the Deadlock boys's behind the scenes stuff, yeah, it's definitely true. Seems like every show they've ever done has been doomed until the last moment.

It was announced that merch was delayed until September due to some vendor issues so it's remotely possible you get it before I get my Fiesta cat plushie.

Being a young person with a large twitter following encouraging their bad idea to the point where it becomes real would be an absolute nightmare. And then you meet all your heroes and let them all down in a way that you probably expected to. A bummer situation that should have been stopped after its first brainstorm.

I went to look at Twitter about this and the first thing I saw was a person claiming this woman was not trans enough to attempt something like this in the first place because she had not transitioned sufficiently enough and did not have, quote, "enough skin in the game". On a related note: never read Twitter.

I do wish more was being said about whether the show was any good.

VENY's plane ticket alone had to cost ~$1,000 (assuming economy and long connections, much more if not) so think about what a gate a crowd of 150 people draw and what percentage of the gate was spent on one plane ticket.
