#ohayocon

Catch me at Ohayocon this weekend in the Artist Alley at spot C2! Dayton, Ohio 1/30-2/1

Wow. The desperation this reeks of. This is also being mass sent to *anyone* who *ever* attended because for three years I have not interacted with their POS for badges or their sign up for newsletters.

If you're not aware of the Ohayocon situation, it's a years old situation that has to do with a narcissist, nepotism, and the mistreatment of volunteer staff.

The volunteers who were mistreated created their own kind of union called COVEN, and the most senior members made their own con called Sekai-con. Which was honestly the most fun I've had at a convention in ages when I attended that last year.

The boycott of Ohayocon led to:

- "changes" in their management (which tbh, I'm not even sure how true this is as they are awful at the transparency they are trying to promote they have)

- lies about the boycott years attendance that were immediately disproven thanks to social media videos and photos (normal wall-to-wall high traffic areas from years past were nearly empty)

- a venue change to a new, smaller, less accommodating convention hall in an entirely new city

- a *very* public crash out by the aforementioned narcissist and extremely messy social media threads to follow
