1) The cringe I mean is for the people in the con. I never even thought about the people walking by the convention because who cares about them? lol
2) A simple meet up is way cheaper then an entire convention. Anti-social people tend to make excuses to not show up where there will be alot of people (I would know, I'm pretty anti-social myself). With a meet up, its way cheaper and the person can just show up. For a convention, that's alot of money to spend on something he/she is not comfortable with. (Also I'm just guessing but I am just guessing that those anti-social people that did show up to that meet up you mention, most of the probably lived in New York.)
3) ....Waffles (>^-^)>#
4)Everything I wrote came from the kickstarter page or talking to the people running the convention. Are they still assumptions, sure. But I don't just write things that Ik nothing about. I did my research and every thin I wrote are at the very least logical guesses. And never assume anything, sure most likely there will be more stuff there to do but until they tell us what more there will be to do, its just assumptions.
5) Just because you don't feel alienated doesn't mean others won't be. Sure, most likely there will be a lot more artists there to help fill that void but until they list who will be there---> Once again, assumptions
6) You think that, I think that. But you know for a fact that a lot of people will be going to the convention not thinking about it, get there and be pissed off because there will be mainly men there.
7) As somebody who has been on Kickstarter hundreds of times. I can probably safely say from the amount of money raised to the time left, unless somebody drops 10G's .... this Kickstarter will fail. :/
8) Even though I do agree with everything you said here, its not about how big our community is as a whole. Its about how many in our community is willing to drop that amount of cash for plane tickets, hotel tickets, convention tickets, food, and gifts. That's not even including the Kickstarter for the convention itself. And even though it is in New York, I doubt anyone out of the country will attend cause that will be even more money for over sea's plane tickets.
Hey, if you or anyone else is excited for this convention, go for it. I'm not saying don't be if you are. The only reason I wrote all that was cause most people are way to excited to think about the negatives, which sad to say there are a lot with this convention in particular. I just want people to not get to over excited and drop a lot of cash on something that may fail or succeed and then not like the convention cause its not what they thought it would be.
The only positive I am seeing from all this is meeting the people. But you can do that anyway if your really wanted to and you don't need to spend money on convention tickets and a kickstarter. Just saying.
