There was a Tumblr-Con this weekend. It ended in disaster

Not the ball pit that DashCon needed, but the ball pit it deserved.

Pissing in ball pits? Bdsm circle jerks? I feel like I could get a disease going to this con.
3:40 I lost what little sympathy i had for the lot of them.

Here's the "Ball pit"
An extra hour in that? Who are the attendants? 10 year olds?

Oh my God, that fucking "We Are The Champions" video was incredible.

Yeah, I found out about this earlier today. What an embarrassment on every level. The people running it and the ones attending it were both confused kids who have no idea what to do with themselves or the thing they're involved in.
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
I don't think I could handle hanging with the weirdos I saw in those videos.
So people can urinate in it. Duh!
I didn't make it that far initially. But going back and watching it makes me want to rip my own skin off and eat it.

my gf and I have been having the best of times reading about dashcon....and some tumblr users actually don't believe it's a scam, and are pissed that they didn't raise the $17,000 to save this pos haha

I turned it off after the "over 9000" joke.

More like: In order to run a convention you have to at least *try* while not being a terrible scamming human in the first place.
No man you weren't there.

Yeah, it's not uncommon to see a crappy con kinda go to pieces because the well-meaning organizers don't know what they're doing. That's clearly not what this is.

"There are 1,000 at most and all of them are white kids in flower crowns who are rioting for the anti-sexualization of women in media while simultaneously running panels about homoerotic subtext in fandoms and finding the gay ships for YOUR fandoms!!!"
Zing.

They waited an hour for that? That's disappointing.
And people mocked the Ball pit. At least the Ball pit stuck it out til the end! The fuckin' pit endured like a champ!

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Lord have mercy!
I cringed so hard I may have broken something, I hope you have insurance to cover me OP!
I've been to one, and ONLY ONE convention in my life. My friend dragged me to go cuz she was able to sneak the two of us in for free, and there was an actress from my favorite show Battlestar Galactica there. Well, by the time we showed up, the actress was LONG gone (smart lady) and all we were left with was the stench of stale sweat and a large room full of my city's most attractive :/ When I saw the guy dressed as his version of Batman, which included a mask, bat ears, boots, and nothing else but white briefs with a shit stain going up the back, I turned to my girl and said it was time to go.

TRIGGER WARNING: GENDER
I feel bad saying this because I'm obviously not some ultra cool hip budding socialite but the embarrassment I feel watching this just makes me so uncomfortable I have to turn it off.

I was amazed when someone in this thread commented on something that happens almost four minutes into the video
How could anybody watch that for four minutes

Don't feel bad I had to watch in minute chunks to actually make it through it.
Insane story, I look forward to seeing how crazy this story will get before it's over, this can't be it.

This is absolutely the most incredible thread. I've never cringed so hard, or been so entertained. I can't even believe it.
