holy crap i’d heard some bad things but this is UNACCEPTABLE!! glad i didn’t go this year after all too….

I had been hearing mixed things for this year’s con, but this really pissed me off (I was verbally expressing my disgust as she described her experience). I have a number of issues with Momocon, especially with its constantly moving, and this really put me off. 

me too! i wish i could say ‘i can’t believe it!’ but i’ve seen a lot of things on that level, namely the pretense of smoothing over someone’s concerns and putting on the front of caring and trying to rectify the situation when in actuality they’re just trying to save social media face while trash-talking the person as a “drama starter” or complainer. If you’re not truly trying to make your con a safer place for cosplayers and young women you really should be shut down… just saying. And yeah, that still just kind of scratches the surface.

Yeeeah I’m majorly grossed out by the whole thing. Crossovers that are clearly just marketing ploys and shameless milking of popular titles…it’s an all-time low. Think the ignoring is the only way to go. (and I LIKE both marvel and snk!Ugh.)

I think that’s why I find it pretty unappealing. It worries me that people are gonna buy into it, but I’m not, and I’m not going to tell anyone else not to. You know it’s gonna be all over the cons, though, and the only reason I’m not begrudging this entirely is because it may be a good chance for me to stand out even more. c:

YEP! And I wouldn’t be so disgusted I think if I felt like it was coming from anyplace besides smashing money makers together to make more merch and more money. People will buy into it and it’ll work and who knows what crossovers will come spewing out next? It’s the whole cycle that gets me down, especially being torn feeling like I want to support the things I like so that my tastes will be further represented following their success and also knowing that if I do so it perpetuates a soul-less cycle of consumerism /sigh. there’s no winning.

robotkitteh replied to your post “Update about my job…”

ughh WTF that is disgusting. this is not worth it. crap min wage jobs are just that; don’t stick with one that’s screwing you /this/ hard dude you’ve already endured so much of this shit. D:

I know, but it’s not easy for me to find a new job due to my lack of accessible transit and lack of a car. I’ve been trying to work on materials for a fundraiser to help me get a car, but it’s like I just don’t have enough time in the day. I may just wait until AWA to go all out, though I guess I’ll have those materials if I end up quitting at the end of the month. I do need to get out of there, but I had hoped it would be when I was in a better position. At least, this is what I told myself. Maybe I shouldn’t wait anymore.

I hear you, trust me, and your tenacity is admirable! I know there’s never a /good/ time for that kind of thing and I doubt it’s good advice to say oh, just quit and leave without a backup! BUUUT on the other hand there’s also a point (pride aside) that  if you’re miserable all the time and it’s just not worth it. mental well-being is also important? (allllmooost as much as money D:) I dunno, I just hope something amazing and convenient and appreciative/worthy of your time and amazingness comes along and soon, you work too hard for this kind of shit ❤

I am the same way—I get cold really easily, and honestly, if it’s going to be stupidly cold, it could at least SNOW. I am not looking forward to waiting on the bus in this. Hang in there, and drink all the hot drinks!

NNNGGG Shadi call ouuuuttt don’t go to the bus you will dieeee! At least you should get those pocket warmer packs from the gas station. And omg IKR I’ve had so much tea and coffee today for warm… I need to switch to decaf tomorrow or I’ll probably be awake FOREVER >>
