PomCast #123 segment covering feedback, criticism and accessibility changes.

[Dea @Deafantasy]

Hey Kupocon, considering you are being called out for quite serious allegations and are only ‘addressing’ it somewhat through a podcast that is pay walled for patreons…

Not a smart move team I’m just saying.

(Trust I will be saying more later btw because I have THOUGHTS)

[Dea @Deafantasy]

Okay let me start this of by saying this Kupocon:

Why would we email you about concerns and criticisms when people have previously;
A - been spoken to poorly in response
B - seen no change or attempt for change from the event after previous contact

[Kupocon Archive @kupoconplaint]

We would like to take accountability and sincerely apologise to Seiken Arts for using a screenshot not intended to be seen outside of a friend group on this account.

It had been provided to us under false pretenses. There will be no repeat of this failure to verify information

[Kupocon Archive @kupoconplaint]

@seiken_arts @g0g0mi We sincerely apologise and have removed the screenshot.

Patreon September 2022 - Update #1
Openly discussing organiser Alex Maine's personal
conflict with a known voice actor unrelated to the event itself and inviting personal bias to influence standing with the event and community

Unprofessionalism from Alex Maine of Kupocon:

This thread covers patterns of behaviour mostly involving guests broadcast on public and Patreon social media channels.

KupoCon should take serious consideration into hiring PR management for situations such as these.

Announcement email distributed to Patrons on 23/9/23 regarding breakdown in potential guest relationship with A New World.

These changes follow criticism of Kupocon Central that have been partially addressed only within Patreon Chat, including acknowledgement for an task unable to be completed by attendees with mobility issues.

This was not the only accessibility issue faced by attendees.

[KupoCon @KupoConEN]

As we mentioned in KupoCast, we're updating our accessibility policies to better assist our attendees. These changes include an expanded RTA system, accessible market tables, reserved evening seating and more: https://t.co/AQgmLDw7kg

Kupocon Patreon Updates Chat Archive:
Please note this chat was accidentally deleted in its entirety 30 minutes after @TwoSecondDork tweeted.

[Kupocon Archive @kupoconplaint]

The Updates channel is the main information base regarding events and merchandise. Unfortunately also littered with jabs at other conventions including MCM & Kitacon

Please also note you can directly contact [email protected] to speak with staff regarding experiences at the event.
