      This literally is it. SJWs never progressed socially past elementary school and absolutely require an adult to tell them not only what to do, but what and when to feel. Peter Pan syndrome but worse (Mary Poppins fixation?)

      MrGoatflakes this is exactly what i’ve been saying. we need to stop leading kids by the nose. they should be taught to think for themselves and to make their own choices. when you tell someone from birth what to do, say and think, they will either resent you for being controlling or become mindless.

      @@brendan5260 yep, if you insulate people from the consequences of bad decisions, you rob them of the opportunity to learn to do anything better. Unlimited second chances are a fantasy that evaporates when you inevitably succumb to old age, which havens sooner than everyone thinks. Trying to protect people from every bad consequence is Oedipedal and robs people of life. Not that I believe in people starving in the streets...

      Since you asked nicely: we're just bastardizing quotes from The Big Lebowski. The plot in it kicks of when an Asian-American guy pisses on the main character's rug. Check it out if you haven't, it's one of the best comedies ever filmed.

      In my faith, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" they encourage us to read the doctrine ourselves, and get our own testimony of the truth. They're very clear about what is the truth and what isn't, but they want us to ask questions so we can get answers.
      They even put up essays online about some of the ugly truths of the early church. Granted those essays aren't nearly as damning as all the accusations surrounding those accounts, but the Church cites all of their sources (in all of their writing) so people can actually fact check it.

      KingYertleOfTurtle I can imagine it now: "confused at the apparent abandonment of him by his coworkers, Stanley stepped into a huge room just off the corridor from his office. a room Stanley had never been in, or heard his coworkers even mention, for it appeared totally unremarkable save for the fact that it contained nothing but a small inflatable ball pit. even more befuddled, understandably so given the circumstances, Stanley decided to waste valuable time by jumping in, perhaps as a protest against wanting to do something more meaningful with his life. but of course, given that Stanley was in what seems to be a state of shock-induced procrastination, it seems unlikely that Stanley wouldn't want to at least get moving again and go through the door at the end of the ball pit room. *cough* I SAID Stanley finally decided to get up and move the story along a bit."

      Its like shopping online, you buy something expensive but they just ship you a cardboard box with a letter and cheap mints and a bill for a full tank of gas.
      I feel bad for those who participated. They were promised a huge event with all kinds of people and internet celebrities.
      Shows were canceled people were not showing up it was empty and abysmal as compared to what was actually promised.

  • @AlchemicKeyblader

    I think the worst thing is the con said that the WTNV people "just walked", thus lying to everyone in the room.
    From what i remember, during this time, they (the WTNV crew) had taken time away from their European tour to be at the con, so they were already losing time and money, but they wanted to do this for the fans. Come show time, when they asked about their pay before the show, the Dash Con people basically went,
    "Uhhhh, we don't have your money right now. We can get it to you later...maybe half?"
    And the WTNV people said, "yeah, no. That's not gonna cut it. You said we'd be paid upfront. Either we get paid, or we don't perform."
    Which I think is a pretty fair request, considering their circumstances. Con didn't have the money, so they left. Somehow, the con managed to spin it so that, instead of admitting that the main attraction walked because they weren't being paid, it was instead the fault of the WTNV crew for "just walking".
    Again, this is what I'm fairly sure was happening behind the scenes, but this info is second- and third-hand, so any corrections are welcome.

      I've been reading a lot of comments about the topic of WTNV, and it lines up well with everyone, but like you said, it's second to third hand information, but it's all mostly the same.
      The story goes:
      They had taken time out of their European tour to come to the con. They did arrive, but they didn't get paid like they were promised. So before their panel started, they packed their stuff and walked out, or so many have told.
      So, technically, they did walk. Not in the way the people who were running the "con" made it seem to be though.
      They walked out because of the absolute shit they had to deal with from those people, not because they just didn't care about the fans. So yeah

    The Night Vale thing was more than just them walking. From what I heard, they were delighted to go, since Tumblr helped make them popular, and even took time out of their tour to go. Dashcon promised to pay for their travel, room, everything. Then, they were told travel couldn’t happen because they didn’t raise enough money. That’s fine, Night Vale was willing to cover that, they understood it was their first con, shit happens. Then they get there, but oh no, they couldn’t get them rooms since every room was taken by a convention goer. Okay, Night Vale struggles but managed to stay at a buddy’s house.
    And this whole time, payment for their performance kept getting delayed further and further until the night of the performance, they were told they’d be paid AFTER they performed. At this point, a tired and frustrated Night Vale knew they were getting scammed and decided it was best to leave. But the way Dashcon worded the ordeal made it seem like Night Vale left because they weren’t paid MORE than what Dashcon offered. Night Vale looked like greedy bastards, Dashcon looked like pitiful victims. Night Vale did apologize and I think offer to compensate for those who got ripped off, but the whole thing was an even worse disaster the deeper you look into this shit.
