    Hello everyone, I don’t come around this part of the forums very often. But in this case I have good reason. I love fan conventions, as I’ve been attending them sicne 2006. That’s why this blog entry is important to me. No disrespect meant towards the Geeks & Gamers crew is intended by this. But I have yet to se anyone have a place for fan conventions.  This is an important subject to me because I want to see the con scene continue for years to come.  This is my log entry on the need to depoliticize the convention scene.

    Anyway check out this article as I think you’ll find it quite informative.

    Noble of you to extend a peace offering and olive branch to these people, but it’s not in their nature.
    Guess the following is an X post from one of the very few authors that I read. After the assassination attempt, the cancel culture that they created is coming for them. They chose this for themselves.

    When Puppies Become Wolves

    Larry Correia is unimpressed by charges of hypocrisy by those who are upset and frightened by the realization that the pendulum is swinging back in their faces.

    You’re the woke right cancel culture. You know, they guy you have pretended to hate this whole time. With a slice of hypocrisy and anger.

    Oh these fools really don’t get it. There is no hypocrisy here. But there is anger. And it ain’t no slice. I despise these assholes with a passion.

    You don’t know what anger is until Caring Liberals decide to destroy your life for crimes that exist in their fevered imagination, to the point they they run organized slander campaigns against you so vile that it puts the lives of your children in danger. Gleefully they rooted for psychos to try and kill me, because I hurt their feelings once over a meaningless award.

    For the last ten years at every turn, petty fucks tried to destroy my livelihood. For ten years they continued to spread nasty shit that they knew to be false, but they did it anyway, just out of spite because I believe wrong.

    My continued success galled them. That’s not how this is supposed to work. I was supposed to roll over and cower and beg forgiveness for things I never did. But I refused.

    Despite that, there is no doubt their cancel campaign has been effective in that it has cost me millions of dollars. There’s nothing quite like having thousands of total strangers reflexively hate you because everything they’ve ever been told about you is a lie. Super fun.

    But my continued success pisses these assholes off, so it’s totally worth it.

    For over ten years I tried to warn the few remaining honest people on the left where their reckless destruction of the social contract was going to lead us. Now, I simply no longer give a fuck if their hubris destroys them. I will toast marshmallows over your cremation fire.

    I’m no hypocrite. Oh no. I’m far, far past that. I actively root for your utter destruction. I’ve moved into a zen state of watching you honorless dogs pave the road to hell. And I will sit back and gloat as you burn.

    For you see, there is no hypocrisy, because I’m not canceling you. I’m merely watching and laughing and commenting upon the obvious, as the puppies you beat and abused until they turned into wolves inevitably devour you.

    Larry knows, even if some of the garden-variety SJWs don’t, that the Rabid Puppies of yesterday are the wolves of today. We’re not just watching and laughing, we’re meticulously exercising our right to excise their kind from our personal lives, our families, our professional lives, and our social circles. SJWs are going to SJW, nothing is going to stop that, but they’re going to have to do it at a distance from now on. And it’s very far from hypocrisy to insist that they be held to their own standard: No freedom of consequences.

    Hey comicsgate thanks to staking time to read my work.

    I appreciate you taking time out to read my work. Who said anything about offering these guys a pace offering I’m saying get all politics out of the con scene completely.  I agree w thst we need to get these politically obsessed hacks out of the convention scene. It’s time to take it back from these clowns.  I’;ve ,et some of these SJWs online they’re just awful people.

    Also I’m not an SJW, if anything I look on these lunatics and their bad ideas with nothing short of total contempt. AS I said I want this poltics stuff out of the con scene so we can get back to having fun. And so we can get back to having writers’ conventions be about writing.

    Let’s get politics out of the con scene so we can get back to making conventions about what they should be about. I understand you’re P.O.ed Losing millions like that sucks. Getting denied oppurtiunities sucks. But remember this, the greatest revenge of all on these people is overcome adversity and achieve success. That will essentially be the same as offfring up these hacks a bug middle finger. Just some food for thought from a friendly neighborhood indie writer.

      It’s a nice effort, but as @comicsgate said, these people don’t want to negotiate or stop their agenda. They don’t want anything fair. They do what they have been doing, taking things people like us once enjoyed, franchises etc, and hijacking it to inject their agendas and personal biases. They can’t create good things on their own, so they invade others and take it over, ruining it completely. This strategy is in many books in fact. Books like The Homosexual Agenda, The ANTIFA guidebook, Communist and Socialist books, etc. Pretty much every single thing I have enjoyed since I was a kid is now destroyed by these people. Even Death and Black Metal has become politicized. A band member can be cancelled simply for liking the wrong thing, or supporting Trump, etc. As a long time metal head myself, I never go to any of the Metal news sites, because they are majority SJW left wing now.

      The only thing to do is NOT BUY any or fund these corporations pushing it. Disney being one of the main ones. Say NO when told you are wrong or an ist or a phobe. Stand firm and take the flak.

      Animeman73 I read your stuff. It’s good and getting better. You are right in your messaging that it wasn’t about peace but just to exclude the politics entirely. The presentation with the pictures is very good. The formatting is good. Better than most in appearance and segmentation. Was NOT accusing you being SJW but only sharing the words of an author that were on the topic. Hope you stick with it. I enjoy reading.

      Tough enough for musicians to just jam together without conflict. I never got hooked on jamming with other guys, which is another life regret. Seems like fun.
      Tuna shows me Suno. If you like writing metal for your own message, that’s what Suno is best for, just to get metal to say what you want it to say. I thought rock n roll was dead, but Suno renewed my interest in all types of music because you can write what you want, and it spits out something kind of general. I criticized Rick Beato before because my songs were mainly pop, but now, Beato was right in terms of some of the results sound like the musicians he knows.

      One I wrote called Quagmire that kind of sounds like Tool: https://suno.com/song/57310a7b-894f-4f09-a40a-8952b67d1fb0

      One called AntiSocial Injustice Warriors that sounds like Sum41: https://suno.com/song/28337200-e856-4e4b-ac27-a90aeab7e2cf

      Here’s one of the first ones I wrote that made me chuckle cuz I was criticizing the lockdowns and it came out sounding like Foo Fighters, who were all about masks and lockdowns and pokes: https://suno.com/song/a2a30eaa-dd4a-42b3-9d24-402bbcde58e7

      I feel nothing for the music industry for the exact reasons you stated and explained, which is why I think Ai music is indeed the future. Corporate music became fascist but poses as Social Justice. They are the ones on the side of Big Corporations and they are the ones punching down on behalf of the industry against the little people, so I have no relation to them. Would rather jam out bashing them in Metal or Rock or Pop or Rap.

      @comicsgate. Hi there sorry it took so long t get back to you I had Taekwondo. I understand and I apologize for coming off as nasty. I’m still a bit on edge I’ve been burned a few times proverbially. And as someone with Asperger’s sometimes things fly over my head. -Object flies overhead. – See what i mean?


      @DarthVengeant
      hear you. The music industry has become politicized and very corporate. Not a good look.  But kep your chin up. We got Ghostbusters back. We’ll get our IPs and our industries and conventions back. We just have to keep up the pressure. And we need to show these psycho communists no mercy or quarter.  I think a certain Argentinian president said something similar.  Stay true and keep your heart filled with music.

      Things will get better. And just you wait I’ve got great article coming next month on my ideas for fixing Star Wars. And both of you thank you for reading I appreciate you both.
