i went to an official Bridgerton ball when season 2 was first being promoted, and it was INCREDIBLY well done. i think this inspired a lot of the scammers’ decisions - they had hired dancers (clearly professionals in Bridgerton costumes), real props from the show, beautiful photo op areas, a themed bar, and an actress playing the queen that you could go curtsy to and who chose a “diamond of the ball” at the end of the night. it was tons of fun, very well organized, and beautifully decorated. it was also way less than $300 lol which is insane
if anyone wants a deeper dive into dashcon, strange aeons put out a vid recently about it with actual interviews/comments from some people who attended, head of security, and one of the people who created it
Theres a lot of misinfo surrounding dashcon since there were ppl trolling it from the start since the kinds of ppl that it was for were widely viewed as cringey. Dont get me wrong, it was a hot mess, but a lot of it has been exaggerated by trolls that were then taken seriously by the general public. StrangeAeons has a great docu-style video on the event where she interviewed organizers n attendees.
A lot of the time, I’m like Stanz, and learning stuff with him, but the ball pit was an instant 🤦🏻 moment. The nostalgia of the memes about that piss pit 🤣 Tumblr was, and sometimes still is, a magical fucking place 😂❤
The lone violinist from the scam Bridgerton experience is literally a high schooler and she still hasn't been paid, and wasn't even offered food while she was working. Crazy stuff.
What most of these events really just needed are proper lighting. Imagine that Bridgerton event without the overhead lighting and the mood being set by coloured stage lights and fog. The vibe would immediately be different.
Giving a child 17000 dollars to run a piss poor event is the most tumbler shit i ever heard of. Tho apparently to stanz if Billy made some friends then the event wasn’t that big of a waste after all lmao
Maybe, but it definitely doesn't deserve the infamy it has. It was literally "baby's first con". The horrors were way over exaggerated because it's cringe.
To work on the internet and not know about dash on is craaaazy. I understand not know a particular channel even if big, but damn, this is internet culture, I feel.
Tbr I don’t think the Willy wonka experience wasn’t that bad (compare to the other ones) I think if they painted the room or had more backdrops, no AI in marketing and lower ticket prices and I think it would have been a success
Im going to say it....80% of an event is the people...if the event sucked so bad everyone is on there phones its because the people who went wanted to be on their phones. I say this as someone who would absolutely be on their phone at a amazing concert or football game.
WTF WHY WAS STANZ LOOKING AT MY TUMBLR ART I STARTED CHOKING
this is very funny

There is a two types of these failed events.
1. Incompetence.
2. Genuine scam.
No one is mentioning caanths name being censored lol
LOL I thought about that right away
Yeah why is it censored??
@@nuclearmudking7497 He was cancelled by the woke mob
What a caanth

Eww. 🤢 It's called a diet
@ eat my ass, bot
There are no scam events in parkour civilization. There are no events at all in parkour civilization
wrong! ticket events for the parkour noobs
Apparently the new monetization rule is you can't say "Caanths" in the first 30 seconds of a video
Thi is why im hosting a happenning to teach people into being less gullible. Just a small entrance fee at arrival
Stanz could be almost *any* background dweeb and still be passed over
This sentence hurt my brain
Proud to see that Stanz is familiar with Dashcon Lore
Respect for qt running her own events 💞💞💞
Our actual queen. So many things go into it! And she does it flawlessly!
Talking about dashcon with "ora ora get pregnant " next to you is jarring
If you may, please enlighten us about that😅
I laughed every time it popped up in the zoom in
@@kimmeallay5043 go back to the dashcon section and look to the left of Stanz's head lol

Was looking for this comment! We love Strange
if the bridgerton event was organized by lesbian fanfic writers it would have been heat

1:30 the main page on Tumblr is referred to as your "dashboard", or your "dash" for short. So DashCon does make sense as a name.
The lone violinist from the scam Bridgerton experience is literally a high schooler and she still hasn't been paid, and wasn't even offered food while she was working. Crazy stuff.
The ballpit was 10 years ago...
Good god I'm old
By the way for any kpop fans in chat, PD, the reaction youtuber from Form of Therapy, was a primary organizer at dashcon.
WHAT? This is an insane lore drop omfg
A great dive would be into the various Winter Wonderlands across the UK which are always just mud and one really sad reindeer
“like MoonMoon” is CRAZY
it was the kids crying for the "unknown" 🤣🤣
Strange Aeons made a fantastic retrospective on Dashcon
Ora Ora Get Pregnant
The hawk sounds get me EVERYTIME
9:36 You already know the rest of Offbrand would immediately fall in line and support the lie.
The speech at the end really inspired me. People should give me 1000$ (it'd be funny, trust). I will put it to good use (trust me).

C’ants
“The problem with the world is f*cking marketers” BASED I’ve been saying this
Need Stanz to learn all the Caroline Calloway lore.
Giving a child 17000 dollars to run a piss poor event is the most tumbler shit i ever heard of. Tho apparently to stanz if Billy made some friends then the event wasn’t that big of a waste after all lmao
22:20 _China wants to know your location_
Is this an Oompa Loompa or a person from Glasgow
Me: Both
Me watching Stanz pretend he hasn't watched IH's videos before
Dashcon is the same venue as Combo Breaker
Stanz ur a real one wish ur auidence in the youtube comments were funnier, u slay tho kepp it up :33
Feeling called out
Be the change you want to see in the world and post something funny
@@Avendesora very true ^^ !! Very valuable way of thinking :333
The Dashcon historical revisionism is crazy ngl, begging people for money mid-con shouldn't get a "justice for Dashcon" 10 years later
Maybe, but it definitely doesn't deserve the infamy it has. It was literally "baby's first con". The horrors were way over exaggerated because it's cringe.
If you want to talk about historical revisionism go watch the Strange Aeons video on it! Gives a lot more accurate account of what was and wasn’t true
To work on the internet and not know about dash on is craaaazy. I understand not know a particular channel even if big, but damn, this is internet culture, I feel.
Im so confused, i sware stanz has looked into all these. Like hes reacted to the willy wonka stuff
He needs to watch the Jenny Nichols video on Bronies
This is a worrying video before going to PAX
...This video is making you worry about a convention that's been running strong for 20 years?
lol yeah she made friends but that cost 40,000 dollars
Ya hate to see that many scams. Looks like folks are learning from esports
Caanths name being instantly censorsed…
Why is it being censored?
@@Avendesora I’m thinking the AI scrubber thinks it too close to “ass” or “cunt”
She was a pole dancer, not a stripper. Nothing wrong with strippers though. But there’s a difference
D- for this video. It is good and has a catchy title, but the video content does not answer the thesis question as stated in the title
defo pronounced glass cow
Yoooooo stanzzzzz much love
Actually begging Stanz to react to Japanalysis 🇦🇱
Tbr I don’t think the Willy wonka experience wasn’t that bad (compare to the other ones) I think if they painted the room or had more backdrops, no AI in marketing and lower ticket prices and I think it would have been a success
Internet historian taught me all these 😂
Moo Deng Tee 29.99 buy it now or youll ora ora get pregnant
