Calling it now. The Blurple-haired Orcs are going to throw hissy fits until the venue cancels on them.
At least they know they're going to try to spike their venue. I wish them luck. I may buy a ticket even though I probably can't make it just to show my support.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but what's stopping a single SJW from buying a ticket, getting the address through email, and then promptly publicizing the venue throughout their networks of saboteurs? Sure, there's the extra step of one person having to dole out a few dollars, but that hardly seems like a huge obstacle for the same kind of people who regularly freely give out thousands of dollars to twitch thots.
That would mean admitting they talked to the enemy. I noticed it during the 2016 election. Everyone talked about the Trump books like they were Mein Kampf for businessmen. It became obvious they never read it. All anyone had to do was read his book, and figure him out.
Then the left crowed about a book that helped Obama get elected. So Trump read it, and made sure his campaign runners read it. They countered everything quickly by just reading a freaking book.
Back in the day, the president of Nintendo said the Wii was based on two books. Guess how many journalists actually read it? Two. Only one really got it. Then when Microsoft and Sony came out with their copycats, I saw tons of people using the terms from the books, but not understanding what the terms meant.
To read the enemy is to acknowledge them, and that is a forbidden sin among the righteous.
