[Max]

This is how I imagine a GAF-con

 

[jerry1594]

Lmao. Going outside probably wasn't worth it

whats a night vale

Yeah, you missed that it's a podcast like one word over.

 

[The Technomancer]

Guys, wait.

WAIT

There was also a jumper:

That changes everything.

Oh my god

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Here's the "Ball pit"

 

[echoshifting]

Do they seriously have a bounce house and a ball "pit" on a concrete floor? The more I look at it, the more it just looks like concrete.

 

[EulaCapra]

yup this was a scam. A lot more info here

OMG, the game room...

 

[alfredofroylan]

whats a night vale

This, a podcast presented as a radio show.

 

[Kinvara]

Now this is clever:

 

[Valhelm]

Did anyone film any of this?

Sounds like a missed opportunity if not.

Hahahahahhaha

That ball pit is hilarious hahah

 

[gotoadgo]

Here's the "Ball pit"

 

[terrisus]

organizational ineptitude, poor planning, chaotic crowd behavior and shady, possibly fraudulent, financial doings.

Who would have ever imagined all those things coming from such an efficient, well-planned, orderly, upfront, honest, and forthright group of people as "tumblr users?"

 

[Savitar]

You hear about disasters so often.

And then you see this.

 

[ronito]

Guys, wait.

WAIT

There was also a jumper:

That changes everything.

I bet the tumblr people in the jumper were like "This jumper triggers me to remember about the patriarchy jumping on the souls of my people everywhere."

This might be one of the worst things I have ever seen come out of a con, they are just fleecing an extremely gullible captive audience at this point. It's less funny and more sad now

Spoiler

but still pretty funny

Fucking shameful

 

[Sober]

This is a true disaster, you kind you cannot look away from.

 

[Anoregon]

"tumblr" will now be a trigger warning for tumblr users who got scammed. There is no end to the suffering.

 

[rtcn63]

This is how I imagine a GAF-con

There would be bodies. Endless piles of bodies, defecated upon by all involved and at least a few passer-bys.

WTF goes to a "tumblr convention"?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Apparently a thousand people showed which isn't as bad as a lot of the pics make it seem.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

wierd fucking picture that you wouldn't want your boss to see you viewing

 

[Valhelm]

^ People like that tend to be shunned by the Tumblr community.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I edited that for you. Don't embed shit like that.

Also you're confusing your stereotypes. That's the Reddit Atheist stereotype, not the tumblr stereotype.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

My apologies. I'm getting my terrible humor mixed up.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

After reading all of the links here and in the article, I think it might have been worth $65 to personally watch this debacle unfold over the course of a weekend.

 

[ronito]

You and your humor privilege.

You would need a one legged otherkin who also writes Sherlock slash fiction. Am I doing this right?

 

[bodyboarder]

Gold.

Orange is the New Black cosplay would have also been acceptable.

God...this actually makes me a bit cross. I don't like seeing people get scammed; they're being naive and gullible, but it doesn't mean they deserve that.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

The BDSM panel was apparently a circlejerk.

a few people have been asking me about it so
basically i attended it just for jokes seeing how much of a shithole the con has been, i figured i may as well go big or go home so i attended the bdsm 101 panel for laughs

and it was just basic sex education for the first part, but it slowly kind of just went into madness?? they started asking the people attending (only 18+ volunteers thnak god) if they wanted to “participate”

and they kind of just. started masturbating and i left

Doug Jones was there. He's apparently the only guest that got paid.

Being raised Catholic.. when I was younger.. that link is pretty much exactly what I imagined Hell would look like.

Being older now, and knowing that Hell doesn't actually exist except in our actual reality, I'm convinced that I just viewed a direct viewing of Hell.

This also seems to imply there were minors in attendance at this panel

The convention organizers sure are in for a fun ride! They will be lucky if a lawsuit is the very worst thing that happens to them.

Lmao holy shit

 

[aly]

Sounds awful and awkward.I feel sorry for the hotel staff and that poor ball pit. Not to mention they apparently let minors into the BDSM panel. Just ugh.

 

[NervousXtian]

I don't for one second believe that shitstainedtampon actually left a room where people were masturbating.. not at all.

 

[MHWilliams]

Running a convention is mad hard. A group of people just learned that.

 

[stufte]

lol.

indeed.
