don't go to anime cons 2022

i was already on the fence about animenyc after the omicron incident last year but between covid getting another slow moving wave and shit like this happening there too? yeah no

the biggest animecon in the country should not be so messy lol

right, even if covid drops off miraculously next year, it sounds like AX is just a shitshow each time anyway

i'm glad i dodged this bullet

I've been watching an artist I follow losing their shit more and more because people are also fucking unmasked

Shattered-Earth @ AX #L7 on Twitter

i've never heard literally anything good about ax crowds but this is god awful

do they never cap ticket sales???

AX? Nah they just let it get up to 100,000 fucking people

fuck me running

The first year we went we were in line for tickets for general admission on the Wednesday before con from like 8 to midnight. Or was it 7?

Line-con as we called it

It was miserable

And this was the people who had pre-registered

cap sales? at AX?

are you kidding me? in this economy? in southern california?

needing several fucktillion people is how they can even fund it at the bullshit venues they hold it at

hell world

but yeah on top of the pandemic bullshit it seems like the AX staff is being ESPECIALLY shitty to people who paid for booths at this one, like, more than usual
