Sizecon can blow it out their ass
So, with a topic subject like that, you know there's going to be a bit of controversy, but why from me, you may ask? Up until a few days ago, you would have thought I was the unofficial goodwill ambassador between the forums and the con, starting a thread, promoting the event and encouraging folks to go. Sorry to say, but I am nor the illwill ambassador since I recieved an email from the director, Ben, saying that I was banned from attending this year for reasons of, and I quote:
-Threatening behavior in online forums and communications.
- Support of hate groups and racist ideology
Sounds like some pretty serious charges, right? Well, I emailed him back, asking him to cite where he was getting this information, to which he said my Twitter account, being that I made a joke about the Holocaust right around the Finestien Brothers were making asses of themselves trying to copyright their video format and that he did not approve of several people I followed on Twitter, saying that they are "scum". As well in my response email, I took an educated guess as to who it was that was feeding him this information, our good ole pal of the recently defunct handle, Butterfliesandhurricanes.
You all know him right? The slimey douchebag who filmed underaged girls doing fetish material that didnt know what it was, as well as ripping people off for money they donated towards an inflatable suit and just being an apl around fuck stick? Well, when I brought this up in the email, saying that this individual holds a grudge against me and is a legitimate threat to the privacy and security of his convention, I recieved no response, not even a mention when I offered to pick him out of photos from last years con to ensure that people of his ilk werent to attend.
So, why am I telling you all this? I dont expect you to care, because why would you? Boo hoo, I dont get to go to the con, and probably all future cons while Ben is running the show considering I told him to go fuck himself. Still going to go to New York, eat some pizza, go to an art museum or catch an opera.
Regardless of your beliefs, political affiliations, how you feel about me, I sincerely could give a shit less. What I am wanting to bring to your awareness is that this person has made it clear to me that he in fact, does not give a shit about your actual privacy and security of his convention goers and furthermore, you are not allowed to have difference in opinion, say anything "offensive" or follow anyone on social media that the director has deemed "scum" or just doesnt like in general.
Even went as far to say he wanted to "keep this matter private", perhaps as a idle threat that he would tell every one what a mean, intolerant, hateful, Nazi, bigot, racist shitlord I am. Well what now, huh? What now?
