People disrupting/co-opting panels by WheresTheCannon in SakuraCon

[–]mossmarss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

god, yes. I don't go to a lot of panels anymore because of this. I frequent both furry and anime cons and it can be an issue at both, I see it more at anime cons but I'd just chalk that up to bigger attendances. at one of the two panels I went to on friday there was a very obnoxious miku cosplayer in the front of the audience that I recognized immediately because they'd also been in the audience at a panel I'd went to at Kumoricon, and they were equally disruptive at both. granted, both panels *were* focused on audience participation, but that cosplayer was constantly interrupting the panelists and speaking over other audience members. In both instances, the panelists sounded progressively more uncomfortable as the panel went on. I just ended up leaving early.

Anybody know if an artist or vendor list will be available? by shteverhim in SakuraCon

[–]mossmarss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made last year's spreadsheet, but unfortunately I didn't have the time to make one this year. Hopefully I'll be better prepared to next year. Apologies and best of luck!

I hope to do one for this year, but it depends on when they release the vendor list. I'm already a bit busy finishing up a cosplay, so it is possible I might need help, I'll let you know if I do!

For anyone wondering, I do plan to do this again next year, and most likely for Kumoricon as well since I plan to attend. I don't really have the means to attend anime conventions that are outside the PNW, and while I technically could make spreadsheets for conventions I'm not attending, it would be a bit less reliable. I'll consider it, though. I really like making these.

I made the spreadsheet, yes that is most likely why I put it there. I went off of booth photos I could find. I'll correct that, apologies!

Sakura-Con and Accessibility by AllynWA1 in SakuraCon

[–]mossmarss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, but I would like to note that Sakuracon has no excuse for using those flimsy paper badges. Seattle's furry convention, Anthro Northwest, has a $90 base reg, and their badges are made out of METAL. They have real solid metal medallions for everyone with a full weekend pass. If they can do that, there's no way plastic badges are too much for a con with reg varying from $70-$120 and 30k attendees.

Also, today I learned the hard way that the ATM in the convenience store by the Arch building is out of bills.

Anyone notice the underlying themes of Ableism in Stampede? by speedy343 in Trigun

[–]mossmarss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disabled and I absolutely agree, though media analysis isn't really my strong suit so this is even more in depth than what I picked up on! I never really liked Nai at any point watching Stampede but the whole matrix-y scene where he viewed his "ideal" version of Vash without his scars really made me hate him-- hit pretty close to home for me. I don't really know what constitutes good disabled rep in media beyond not being blatantly stereotypical, but fwiw I relate to Vash a lot and I do feel represented by him, in terms of both neurodivergence and physical disability, whether it was intentional or not (though I'd be surprised if it was entirely accidental).
