[The Technomancer]

I already dislike conventions because of the more negative aspects, just looking at these photos with their wide open floors and hotel chairs is making my skin crawl

 

[G-Fex]

Apparently this is how they kept track of the "miners" at the bdsm panel...

 

[Amir0x]

we should have all gone and then made it into the most happenin' party in the whole world at the time

 

[Winterfang]

That caught me attention
What is that thing?

A mask
Just a technical problem due to Panorama related shenanigans
Or an actual demon in the flesh?

[liquidtmd]

Wow, that was a detailed read, thanks for posting!

 

[Rootbeer]

I want to hear what the guys from Night Vale have to say. I want to hear their side. Could be very revealing.

I can't watch it. I try to watch it but I just can't watch it.

 

[Future Foundation]

Apparently, the stuff being spread about the BDSM panel thing was mostly BS (no minors, no demonstrations, etc) - supposedly it was one of the better moderated panels at the event.

The organizers of an event we were scheduled to be part of today were unable to pay for our flights, hotel, or performance fee.

We tried very hard to make this happen. We took a full break in the middle of our July tour to attend this small fan-based event. We paid for our own hotel and plane fare, and were very excited to be part of this intimate fan gathering. But after a morning of discussion, organizers were unable to pay for the costs of travel and performing.

We are disappointed that things were not worked out in a timely manner and that we could not perform for our fans.

We hope to be back in the Chicago area soon.

Thank you for your understanding. You, as fans, deserve better than this.

They don't really have a reason to shit on these people/ dashcon, so I think this is all we'll know....

 

[Amir0x]

You do that next year thx.

all of GAF gotta come. i'll get the party going, don't worry. shit will probably be violatin' all sorts of fire codes.

Clicked that YouTube link and close it after a single sentence. My cringe sensor was already tingling.

It's going to end up being held in your living room, isn't it

I'm at the 10:00 mark and it's great. They just keep giving them money. And they love it.

i'd turn the entire bottom floor into a replica of one of Super Mario Bros. underwater level.

Yeah, it seems the entire thing was a scam from the articles I'm reading. Shame to take advantage of these people

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I managed to make it to 2:04 on that video and then quit.

"This is extortion!"

 

[FelixOrion]

this is funniest damn thing i've ever seen

Just weird panorama stitching.

wtf...is that a ghost or the kkk?

The cringeworthy moments end after the first few minutes. After that it's just screaming for the most part, then I think Katniss showed up?

Will you be willing to bring a Ball Pit?

[OpinionatedCyborg]

They've reclaimed the Nazi salute, so I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility that they're taking back the KKK too. Hell, it makes perfect sense since most of them are already into dragons.

Searching the #dashcon tag in Tumblr is producing some hilarious results.

 

[Ferrio]

and, boss: “why are you at tumblr prom” to which I responded, “I didn’t go to the panel about knotting.”

OMG

 

[OldKentuckyShark]

wtf...is that a ghost or the kkk?

Can't it be both?

I had to stop that video after 30 seconds, and I've seen videos of grandma's taking facials. But even I have my limits

Hey guys what is happening in here.....

It was a side effect of the panorama, jerk.

 

[todd360]

The ball pit picture totally made this a worthwhile click.

 

[User 100115]

OMG

OMG they had a panel on Omegaverse.

I can't.

 

[liquidtmd]

Indeed. Somehow it manages to be creepier than that red van with 'Free Candy' scrawled on it meme

When Ronito can't stomach it... you know you done fucked UP.

Thank you for the link. Best information about it so far.

And damn, they said they were with Random Acts? If that is false, Misha is going to have a field day with this.

 

[Sneaky Gato]

OMG

Please tell me that isn't what I think it is and was about really about tie rope knots ( and not in the BDSM way).

 

[Valhelm]

So it's fucking horrendous then . Ha. Just as I imagined.


I wanted to look for more goodness on twitter and saw this

real or not who knows

This is a direct reference to the "Bronycon Orgy" last year. There wasn't an actual orgy at Dashcon. Unfortunately, the original "Bronycon Orgy" post has been deleted, but it was the exact same text, posted by a brony, about how some STDs had been transmitted at a hotel room romp the night of the con.

There is no way Random Acts was affiliated with this.

As Neogaf's authority on fandom...

I am sorry.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Exactly, but apparently DashCon said they were. Hoo boy.

 

[BTM]

You couldn't pay me to attend this.

 

[red731]

Free hour in the ball pit...
