Tumblr does a con. It's going as well as anyone could hope.

Friday:
>Con organisers ask for $17000 dollars in an hour otherwise the con will be shut down because "upper management doesn’t like the people at the con"
>turns out Dashcon didn't read the contract properly and it said payment due on day one
>Saying they'll refund donations once money's in from walk-ins

Saturday:
>Main draws of the convention, Welcome to Night Vale, walk after not being paid
>Anyone who forked out for extra-cost reserved seating for the event gets an extra hour with the ball pit
>an extra hour in a tiny, timed-entry, homestuck-paint-filled kiddie pool with some plastic balls in a giant empty room
>neat
>there's a bouncy house too
>Time Crash (who they?) concert and BDSM 101 panels later

Sunday:
>We are waiting for someone to die
>Murder? Suicide? BDSM Gone-Oh-Wrong? Place your bets, kids.

If the ball pit wasn't a pitiful excuse for a kiddie pool I wouldn't even let my nieces in it wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

Mostly to separate what is still a rumor and what is actually going on, I guess.

This right here, this is why I dropped the entire series like a hot potato. The fandom went to shit when Tumblr got hold of it, that's fine, it happens to a lot of series. But the difference is that the creators don't pander to the shitty side of the fandom and the series can go on being good and the good side of the fandom will remain. Not WTNV.

I wasn't actually talking about Cecil and Carlos' relationship, but nice projecting there.

I was referring to the way they were pandering to the part of the fandom that despised anyone who dared to headcanon any character as white/neurotypical/thin/straight/etc etc despite the fact that the medium of the show was a perfect opportunity for the acceptance of any headcanon. They started off that way with Cecil especially and refused to give him a concrete description, but the more the fanbase whined, the more the creators pandered. So the point of a rarely-used medium was entirely lost.

He's technically right in saying it's a mental disorder, but it's the dysphoria that's the disorder, and the HRT, surgery, etc. is the treatment.

Saying that providing that stuff is indulging their disorder is like saying that prescribing anxiety or depression meds or allowing people to go to talk therapy sessions are indulging someone's depression or anxiety.

But I don't want to start a political shitstorm when we could be discussing the hilarious clusterfuck that is this convention, so let's just politely drop the subject.

Your brain isn't working like it should. Yes, it's a mental disorder. no amount of surgery will ever truly make you the opposite sex.

I think that people asking for donations to hack up their genitals is hilariously out of whack on the morality scale. It's akin to asking money for a boobjob.

inverting your penis does not make it a Vagina. It's a hole where a penis used to be. Conversely, grafting on a dick and balls and cutting off your boobs does not make you a male.

for the record, I support gay marriage and think it's a wonderful thing that more states are recognizing it, but this transgender bullshit is absolute bollocks. Same thing with all this tumblr level bullshit too. All mental illness whackjoby-ness of the highest order.

>I've never seen a single one needing help for surgery, or if I have, it was just top surgery.
This is just my personal opinion, but part of the reason I don't consider surgery in the genital area is just as >>7675877 said,
>inverting your penis does not make it a Vagina. It's a hole where a penis used to be. Conversely, grafting on a dick and balls and cutting off your boobs does not make you a male.
I'd prefer to be a male, yes. No, I don't go shoving it in people's faces, or base my identity around my orientation. But the fact of the matter is that surgery can't give me what I want. It costs way too much for something that's like a shitty deviantart trace of what I want. It's this fact that's probably the only reason that I've given up on the idea and just go through my life normally.

I'm super selective of the people I follow and it works miracles.

I follow one pro-SJW so I know what's going on, but I also follow a couple of more level-minded people who help me keep from losing all faith in humanity. Apart from that, my dash is full of puppies, jfash and fandom (but not Superwholock).

Never feel obligated to follow someone, even if you're friends. If they get mad at you for unfollowing them, then they are shit anyway.

On top of being careful of who you follow, there's also the Tumblr Savior add-on that let's you blacklist tags and/or phrases. So someone who post a lot of some anime you like but one you dont, just blacklist the one you dont and you only see them post about the anime you like.

Tumblr is freaking easy to control.

I'm applying for an engineering position over at tumblr and I have a few friends that work there. Really great guys/girls and as far away from the sjw/homestuck/fandom crowd as you can imagine.

Yeah they know those people exist and in fact they don't care for them very much. I think they know that underneath all the shitty users is a neat service and that's really what they care most about.

Don't count on them mentioning dash con at all, they wouldn't call attention to something like this and i'm sure they legally can't and I don't blame them. If they acknowledged that then I can imagine gawker and mashable running shitty articles further making fun of tumblr and the company certain;y doesn't want that,
