Oh for fuck's sake.

I'd always meant to get around to finally making it to a Readercon. But fuck that noise unless the board seriously unfucks this situation

ETA: I've never been higher in a con hierarchy than regular staff, but I'm wondering if it might be useful or at least amusing to try and organize a feminist-friend con scheduled against Readercon next year.

Remember, it's not the con itself, it's the people who wrote the policy and are charged with upholding the policy and failed in their duty. And from what I understand several of them have already resigned over this.

Perhaps the thing to do is to put people on the BoD with integrity.

Yep. That would fall under the category of "unfucking the situation".

Hopefully, this will, in fact, get fixed in a way that makes readercon a better con, overall.

Wow, I'm not awake yet ths morning, I wrote all of that sort of backwards.

Perhaps they should put people WITH INTEGRITY on the BoD in the future. Not biased, "Oh he's my friend, (A BNF, A SMOF)we can't do that to him." people.
