P.S.A ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL COSPLAYERS
This is why we cannot have nice things.
(i took this from a post on facebook i saw someone put up that had to be shared elsewhere)
“1: Broken Light Fixtures on a couple different floors.
2: Busted Exit Sign cause some fuckwad thought it would be A Good Idea to high-five it.
3: Actual fucking flooding in a room.
4: Punching a hole in the bathroom door and writing “One-Punch Man was here.”
5: Writing “Katsucon 2016” all over the stalls on the main floors.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS NEEDS TO STOP, THIS IS LITERALLY DISGUSTING.
This beautiful hotel is holding an events for cosplayers to enjoy time away and this is how you repay them? you wonder why they raise prices?. This is totally fucking immature and disgusting and the cosplayers that did this make our community look like shit
Spread this like wildfire, this is not okay stop destroying things.
Fun Fact: This shit kills small cons.
Our con got kicked out of it’s established space because the hotel kept getting trashed by drunk, rowdy con-goers. The last year they broke a fucking window, among other things.
Have fun at your cons. Have fun in your cosplay. But don’t be an asshole while you’re staying in a hotel. The shit is not cute, you ruin future cons for everyone. Part of the reason hotels spike their rates for smaller cons is because they expect con-goers to be disrespectful and destructive. Pricey rates drive people away from cons without a reputation. Those tiny cons don’t get a turnout because of hotel prices, they can’t collect revenue, they can’t afford the space, they wither up and die. No more tiny fun cons. Most of the staff volunteers and works hard to make your experience nice, and the hotels hold them responsible for the aftermath.
Just don’t be a dick, especially if you’re attending a small convention. It’s not hard.
