I live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and recently started helping a good friend of mine and his wife who have a small side business selling vintage toys and comic books at small conventions. I had stopped going to most Conventions for a while. A couple of years back the guy who ran the major ones in this area sold to Fan Expo and it wasn't as fun as it once was. I am loving going to the small conventions because you get to interact with legit fans and talk about sci-fi/fantasy or comic books.
I used to have it on my bucket list to one day go to the San Diego con or the annual Star Trek convention in Vegas but they seem to (like so many others) have stopped catering to actual fans and are more interested in the woke garbage. Panels about more diversity/women in gaming or how evil nerd culture is doesn't cut it for me.
Kind of reminds me of my beloved Sci-Fi channel. It came out when I was 10 or 11 and I loved it because as a sci-fi nerd, it seemed to be a channel for people who liked sci-fi. Now like so many other nerd sites it has turned into the usual fake geek hangout. I stopped going on the syfy channel website when the lady reviewing Brightburn complained about white supremacy and the evil white male nonsense.
I was looking forward to heading back to MagFest this year, but they decided to be fucking retarded and demand injections and masks for everyone. Fuck that gay shit. If people are worried about catching Covid they have no business hosting or attending a convention.
Same I wa going to go to Nekocon but they went the same way and went even so far to detail what masks aren’t allowed and how you have to wear one when dancing... like bro most weebs are out of shape & that’s asking for a visit from the EMTs
Yea I’ve tuned out the Covid zombies. You are right. They are free to stay at home for the rest of their lives
go and protest lmao
