That “brony horror stories” post about the fight was me too.
lol, again
“
a+ job anon now more harassment is going to go to those who were actually hurt by that fucking con a+ fucking plus job
“
My apologies to the victims of the con.
Heyo, I used to consider myself a brony. Now, after this little long tale, I just consider myself a fan. A die hard fan. I went to Everfree really for one reason: Theres this dude on DeviantArt who makes custom MLP FIM hair pieces that look like the show. I know, it doesn’t make sense. but look up…
People are actually reblogging this as non-satire. lol
Okay here’s the followup to my story, as promised:
1. I didn’t actually go to Everfree
2. I made up those stories
3. Don’t believe everything you read on tumblr without evidence
lol
Hey, glad to see this got some notice, even got posted on a site called Daily Dot.
I’ll have a more detailed write up tomorrow
Hello, I was also at Ever Free Northwest over the weekend. While I was going to stay silent on my experience, once I ran into a post by mjolkk on Reddit, I was suprised by the reluctance on the part of some bronies to believe her stories of the con. I’m writing - anonymously, since I don’t want to face harassment - to back her up and hopefully add some specifics.
The Molestia meme was in full effect at the CMC panel, though I don’t think the VAs were aware of what it meant (thanfully). This was easily a situation where the staff could’ve done something…if they weren’t also joining in on it.
A transgendered individual who was cosplaying faced some harassment (cackles, etc) as well. Also, a final performer at the closing ceremonies included some sexist material in his ‘act’ - I believe he was doing comedy.
The choking incident has been verified elsewhere. Finally, throughout the whole ordeal, the occasional sexist/racist term (lots of n-words and c-words) were easy to hear.
I’m simply writing as a backup to the mjolkk post because it was being tossed aside so easily. Just because something bad is said about your fandom doesn’t mean the whole post should be dismissed. I hope this will line up with mjolkk’s experiences.
UPDATE: Here’s my followup to this post which includes more details of what happened from my perspective: http://everfreeattendee.tumblr.com/post/29965926413/followup
