@cIancymask This isn’t a bean soup theory moment. Everything you mentioned genuinely harms disabled fans. The point is, you made a privileged take that can harm real people, because the exact things you mentioned HAVE hurt people.
I sound dramatic, I’m aware. But this band means so much to me, and seeing a hometown show was a dream of mine. I can’t imagine General Sale will be any easier than this. Things have been going so wrong for me lately and I needed a win, but it was just another loss.
As a fan of Twenty One Pilots for 11 years, I am devastated after todays presale. Finally, after missing Tour De Columbus and being financially stable enough to go to a hometown show, it is stolen from me by these big and greedy scalpers.
It feels like a slap in the face to play Center Mass, One Way, Seven Nation Army, AND drag path at all these festivals (that are not possible for some fans, like I, who cannot handle festivals.) where there are more non-fans than their own tour, then dangle this opportunity.
@RuneyBoiAD@KyTyger It’s the inside of the Marriott Marquis at FWA. People climb on the bars to take pictures. The painting is of someone falling, which hasn’t happened at con yet
@PooltoyWolf@rainingcoyotes To forget that there is most likely a reason they had to do the renovation during the time they are doing it, as crappy as it is. There could be a wide variety of reasons the pool is closed for renovation at that time. It’s not the cons fault. People can have fun without main! 2
@PooltoyWolf@rainingcoyotes Personally, I don’t use the pools at cons. To be fair, that is mainly because I am vending most of the time. But after some of the stories I’ve heard about some of the people who attend the pools, I can’t help but feel very indifferent to the closure. It sucks but people tend 1/2
@PooltoyWolf@rainingcoyotes It’s more so closing the bike bar during bike week to fix it up while the other bike bar down the street is still open! If a pool being renovated for one year is the reason people aren’t going, they don’t have the right mindset about cons.
@PooltoyWolf@rainingcoyotes Ah, no one ever said it was concept images. I still stand strong on the idea that people shouldn’t use the pool as a way to chase clout and body shame, that’s not what the furry community is supposed to be about.
