En sak jag hatar med närcon är att de tar bort gammal info om konvent. Förra närcon vinter (dvs typ 2 månader sen) promotade de ett event i appen där alla uppmanades till att anonymt skicka in historier om "galna" saker de sett/gjort på konvent och de nämnde "sex" som ett exempel. Det var 18+ event men alla barn kunde ju läsa om det i appen, och så tvivlar jag på att de faktiskt kollar allas ålder… men som sagt tas gamla event bort så att all kritik appen därmed också försvinner.

Med tanke på att Närcon har så många byggnader och korridorer så tycker man att det inte borde vara allt för svårt att införa något sånt, men det skulle ju innebära att de skulle behöva anstränga sig och ta ansvar för någonting.
>>1964695>så de tar iaf det seriöst om du säger att någon betett sig dumt mot dig.Nah, finns mycket historier där de ursäktat creeps för att de "bad ju om ursäkt uwu" (hände någon jag känner) eller offren själva behövt be om ursäkt för att de försök varna andra för att det anses vara mobbing. Konvent är definitivt mycket säkrare än festivaler, men skulle inte påstå att man är allt för skyddad heller även om man är under 18.

Tror säkert de har någon form av 18+ regler på papper men man ser ju ändå alltid saker från vendors och artist alley som är sexuella. Speciellt i artist alley, det finns alltid några som har feta bdsm transman gay "bear" bilder till salu, och sexiga anime girls, och så hur många som helst pins och klistermärken med pronomen, pride-flaggor och autism, adhd, schizo etc (ja seriöst du kan köpa "jag har autism" pins som du kan stoltsera med). Önskar jag var journalist för det känns som ett scoop att skriva om ett "barnvänligt" event som säljer sån skit till barn. De har redan lagt ut i appen att någon HBTQ+ förening kommer dit. Jag är såklart inte homofob (bara transfob, sluta skära upp oskyldiga barn tack), men det faktum att det riktar sig till barn på samma event där det definitivt finns och accepteras loli+shota vuxna är äckligt.

Det är groomers paradis för alla barn blir tillsagda att alla på närcon är öppna mot HBTQ, alla är familj, du kan lita på alla, ingen är farlig osv… det finns ingen jävla safe guarding för barn alls.
När jag och mina vänner var 12-15 åringar och gick på närcon kände vi alla till några män som var 20+ som försökte dejta oss (och som dejtade andra tjejer i vår ålder). Inte förän vi blivit vuxna själva förstod vi hur sjukt äckligt det faktiskt var, på den tiden var det mer en lustig grej typ "haha han är sååå gammal som är 22". Ingen annan vuxen i samma kretsar sa något om det heller, ingen försökte stoppa desssa män eller slutade vara vän med dem över det. Jag minns att jag kallade en av dessa män pedo som ett skämt (i vår messenger grupp) och han blev skitarg och letade efter mig hela nästa konvent, frågade konstant alla var jag var osv men jag lyckades gömma mig hela tiden.

Och hatar koreas idol-kultur den är sjuk på alla nivåer och borde inte uppmuntras här. Alla vendor rum jag ser som bara har kpop posters och pins är alltid i princip tomma på besökare, förstår inte varför de alltid är där ändå.

Någon annan som tycker det är sus att närcon har haft "personalbrist" typ 20 år i rad? I bästa fall är de inkompetenta som fan och har inte lärt sig hur man sköter ett konvent fastän de haft 20 år på sig, eller så är det med flit för att de vet att de stackars ungdomarna som blivid lockade att "bli en del av familjen, få gratis mat, så mycket tid till konventet efter ynka små (CIRKA) 6 timmar av arbete, kom och få familjekramar, vi är inte en sekt". De utnyttjar rent av naiva ungdomar med vilje, jag har hört många besökare klaga på det så de vet definitivt om att det är ett problem (som de själva såklart inte ser som ett problem). Alla jag känner som jobbat som panda säger samma sak om att de blev tvungna att jobba ca 10 timmar i sträck (eller mer!) per dag pga av personalbrist.
Vilken annan festival går ut med att försöka locka till sig specifikt ungdomar som personal så här?

They always do this, they act like they're sooo sweet [smiley smiley] but you can always smell their contempt through the screen.
Every time someone has a complaint staff will defend themselves and make excuses and NOT adress the actual issue. If you're lucky you get a "sorry YOU feel that way".
If you say a general "närcon sucks in this area" they come in immediately like "sorry sweatie, we unfortunately help or improve if you don't say what the problem is…[smiley]" conveniently ignoring everyone who did bring up the exact problems they've been ignoring for at least a decade!

Att Närcon vänder sig till barn i första taget ('Det spelar ingen roll hur gammal du är') är väldigt, väldigt

>Helt ärligt låter personen du postade som en bortskämd inkompetent person som inte fattar vad volontärarbete innebärDet är ju just det närcon vill ha, ungdomar som jobbar för dem utan att fatta vad det innebär så de kan få dem att göra vad som helst utan att ifrågasätta det. De lockar tonåringar att jobba "teehee du får gratis mat, pappa-närcon älskar dig vi är familj 4ever" så de tror att det är normalt för unga tonåringar att jobba så mycket. De flesta andra arbetsplatser söker inte volontärer som är yngre än 15 år och lockar dem inte med spel och godis.
Sen är min personliga åsikt att närcon inte borde ha minderåriga volontärer alls eftersom de tjänar pengar på konventet, och de klarar ju aldrig att få in tillräckligt många att jobba där så de borde göra mindre konvent istället.

Subwoolfer ska komma igen vilket jag tycker är trist, skaffa någon ny artist istället. Plus så har ju sub varit öppna med att en bra deal med maskerna är att de kan (och gör) skicka ut andra randos som spelar rollerna åt dem, det är sällan "riktiga" subwoolfers. Såg förra året och det var playback.
Jag skulle gärna se mer artister från Japan, minns att uppcon med typ 2000 besökare hade versailles som gäster vilket var coolt, borde ju då vara möjligt för närcon som alltid skryter om att de är störst i norden att ha något coolt band med sina 12000 besökare?

>>1982766>while this one has mainly local things from Scandinavia and the same things each year.kek had a flashback to when not närcon but another convention had seremedy as a guest band and barely anyone turned up to watch them. The singer Seike called the audience of like ten to fifteen 14-year-olds shit and said "you suck" on stage. Yohio was in the band too, always in drag.
The singer Seike hilariously claims he dated and fucked a troon as a teenager without knowing she was a troon aka born a male because there is no difference at all between the troon and a real woman with a real vagina. It's very clearly bullshit if you look at the facts of it. For one what fucking teenager in Sweden had access to bottom surgery, long ago enough that the scars had healed and another person couldn't tell, and this was supposedly prior to the trans boom even happened? I don't think it's ever been legal here to do the bottom surgery on minors. And that's disregarding that we've all seen how bad the results look here on lc in the mtf threads.
So either Seike was groomed by some old 40 year old troon when he was a tubro-virgin 18 year old who had never seen a real vagina and that's why he thought it was "totally the same". Or - my personal favorite option - some girl he dated pulled a kikomi-chan and lied to him saying she was actually born a male and he straight up bought the lie and to this day thinks it's true.
Seike also openly consider himself "troende" which means he's a devoted christian, which is fairly unusual in Sweden as most are atheist or religious "on paper" but wouldn't ever call themselves religious nor do they believe in god. I also remember one anon adamantly claiming he was a troon himself and might actually be a woman. I've never looked into it myself but very much kek if it's true.

I'm a pearl clutcher I know… but having 18+ events at närcon just bugs me so much. They even literally advertise for their own staff to be be minors and professional themselves on being "safe" so it doesn't seem appropriate to have any kind of 18+ event to me. This one is just an auction for coomer shit merch, but last time it was personal sex-stories being told. This isn't advertised anywhere on närcons website or social media so how are parents supposed to make safe guarding choices for their kids when they're aren't even aware they're sending them to a place that secretly has 18+ events? I guess it's because I as a young female teen was preyed on at conventions so now I'm kind of questioning anything sexual being present at all.

>>1986199>>1986466>someone running an 18+ panel had just not checked and despite knowing there was minors in the room, ran the panel anyway.Exactly why being a "pearl clutcher" is actually warranted at närcon, they really don't care about kids safety. Or safety at all tbh. Every year the same thing happens, after the initial boom and check-in staff becomes REALLY lax with checking the wristband-tickets of visitors. People just walk in and out and plenty of them don't have their wristbands visible at all. Me and friends have been in long sleeved cosplay multiple times and they just let us in becuase they assume any cosplayer must be a paying visitor. And realistically what is a pair of shy 16 year old volunteer girls gonna do if a creepy grown man with fake weapons (what if they're not fake?) just confidently walks in, they're just gonna let him pass. It's not like they get paid anyway, why would they care to do a good job?
Anyone who lets minors into a 18+ event should get kicked out of närcon immediately. There has to be actual repercussions when it comes to the safety of minors, even if all they did was to let in a 17 year old. Because what they fail to mention is the gross predatory men at 30+ was also in that room waiting for naive younger girls like her to prey on, the room isn't a neutral space.

I'll keep the english streak going, hope that's ok.
This is a list of pretty minor complaints, but me and my friends have been in a few of närcon's own activities run by staff and they always seem to miss the mark they were aiming for.
For example last year we did a "pokemon/pokedex hunt" or whatever they called it (one friend is big into pokemon, I like it ok too but haven't played the last gen) but we quit almost right away because the way you collected pokemon (tiny stickers) was by doing other random shit for närcon staff like answering questions about popular anime or sing a song, nothing pokemon related. Like ok? That's like going to a "naruto karaoke event" and one single song is from naruto and the rest is other shit. Why the fuck would we join an activity if it's not what is advertized? Just call it an "anime hunt" or something then?
And another activity that also happens to be related to pokemon is the 2 times we've joined their pokemon drawing competition (again, friend is big into it). You had to make up your own pokemon so we all did it for fun. The närcon staff did their judging in the corner so we could see and hear them pull up pokemon on their phones because 2/3 of them didn't even know basic gen 1-2 pokemon. I mean it's one thing to not know the latest gen (I don't kek), but ones that came out in the 90s? What are you doing judging a competition on something you lack even basic knowledge of?! In the end both times very shitty drawings by the youngest kid partaking won, like come on- don't patronize the kid and respect the other people who take part seriously.
At one point we also joined a "team quest" which took all day and was based on which team did it all first. The kicker was at a few points we had to rely on getting the next quest from the staff who held the event, and she just fucked off for a couple of hours to host a different event - meaning some teams got several hours to do more quests while the rest of us could do nothing but wait. And once one team won she dropped the event through a text message, so noone else got to complete it for fun. We never even got to know who won or what the prize was. We had spent hours on the quest at that point.
The way they run things all around is so amateurish and doesn't respect the time or effort of people who join. I've given upp on närcons own activities, only doing things hosted by associations from now on. That's like 90% of the con anyway so it shouldn't be too big of a loss…

I have to share my first day encounter at närcon with you nonas. I hope blogging is ok kek
I'm helping my friends at närcon this year (not staff) and today was the setting up day before visitors even arrive. They have free food if you work there (really shit quality, cannot stress enough how shit it was). They have long tables in the dining hall so you just grab any available seat, we made the mistake of sitting down next to a lone moid.
We were talking to each other while eating the shitty food, the moid sitting quietly next to us. Then all of a sudden he brings out his phone and puts it in front of us. He said something, which in hindsight was probably "you look like you like music" and he was like "I made this". His phone has really shit electronic-y music playing and a video of what I would describe as "early youtube" clips. Not of youtubers, but "viral" videos before viral videos was a thing. "I sell these, I made them." He brings out a white CD case, with a drawing of a poorly made anime girl which he said he drew himself (just black lines on white paper, picrel is from google just to show roughly what it was like kek). The other side had a poorly drawn dragon in similar fashion. My friend said "Cool, but I don't think we're interested!" and we all went back to talking. The moid didn't want to give up, he kept shoving the phone in front of us every minute or so with his music and random clips going "this guys is lifting a whole truck" or "this is the fastest car in the world" or some shit while asking "maybe I could get a few coins for it…?". Excuse me who the fuck are you, we are in the middle of eating and we already said we don't want your shitty CD?! He was clearly mentally disabled in some way, but my own group consisted of 2 autists and 1 adhd person and we were still all weirded out by him.
Now let me remind you what I said at the start - this guy is not a visitor, but is working at närcon in some capacity. I can't imagine what he does, he had zero respect for personal boundaries nor did he have anyone "looking after" him.
I have a feeling if I posted this in some närcon staff chat there would be many people going "oh THAT guy" because there is no way this was the first time he bothered people.

>>2105467Same, in a way it was "refreshing" because seeing them irl makes it so painfully obvious that they're male. It's like "oh wow you really CAN tell 99% of the time".
The most tragic part was seeing a bunch of obvious tifs with ugly beards and froggy voices, the skinniest one I saw was still fat but most straight up obese. One panda was an obese tif with a beard who still had a high feminine voice, I almost felt bad for her but at the same time she put her self in that position. She's probably one of those non-brainy they/them tifs who microdoses to get "some" of the effects.

>>2111589Redbubble has sticker sheets you can buy and then cut them out yourself for relatively cheap, especially if you can cram like 50 stickers onto one paper and make them different designs. They're vinyl iirc so they're pretty durable too.
What you do is you make a sellers account, enter your bank details and such and then upload products but keep them hidden from the public. You can still order from yourself but no one else will be able to see or report the design kek
>>2111590Love it, though some of those are so sarcastic they will be read as pro-trans by a lot of people I think, especially in a non-english speaking country where nuance gets lost in translation easily. I think having a progress flag with text involving "child mutilation" would be pretty good, perhaps "We proudly mutilate children!" or "Join the child mutilation cult today!". Maybe directly targeting parents: "Your child was born WRONG! CUT OFF their body parts to save them! #transkids". But all translated to the local language. Picrel is pretty good too, though I think putting up anything depicting a swastika might be illegal in a lot of places so you'd have to be extra careful with those kek

>>2133104Some prime drama going down in the NC AA channel.
1. In 'Questions for the admin', someone posts images of things that are straddling the line for a convention that bills itself as family-friendly (and markets itself actively to minors with newsletter titles like 'How to convince your parents to let you come to Närcon'). She has been instructed to do this by another con worker.
2. Discussion is had. Mods respond with things like 'children have a sexuality' and 'We are volunteers doing this in our free time'. One of them claims to be 'interested in analysis of discussion techniques'. Mod explains that this kind of thing has to be adressed in person in order for them to stop it during the convention itself.
3. The next morning, another mod comes out and singles the initial complainant out for posting NSFW in the AA server. He writes a threatening note and pings her by username. Again, she was instructed to do exactly this by someone else working at Närcon.
4. When this is pointed out by her and other artists, the mods ban her from the server.

>>2134104>what do you think should be the solution for this? are they supposed to ban everything you consider to be inappropriate?Literally yes? This is generally easy to do and is done in pretty much all other child friendly spaces everywhere, it's not a new groundbreaking idea.
>weeb culture there's a lot of characters in completely sfw animes or games etc that are appropriate for kids but would still get lewded and put on bodypillows etc no matter what you do. should any of those items not be allowed to be vendored or take place at the con/around minors even when they're completely sfw because they can be considered lewd still? Should disney allow to sell blowup sex dolls of disney princesses? No. Will people stop making those blow up dolls. Also no. Does this mean disney has to or should sell sfw versions of blow up dolls? No.
I really do not see where the issue is, it's not that complex but people suddenly lose their minds when it's anime. Body pillows are essentially a "sex toy" the same a blow up doll is, and therefor not appropriate around kids even if you make a sfw version. All adults still know what it really is.
>should the con get a screened off 18+ section like a porn section at a video store for nsfw stuff and if so where should the line be drawn between nsfw and sfw?If they want to insist sexual stuff has a place at närcon, (which then still doesn't have to include literal sexual-acts-porn or loli/childporn), then yes they should make a 18+ section because the current method of having it be the wild west clearly is not working. Most of society frankly already agrees roughly what is and isn't 18+, hence why the label is so often used and everyone already knows what it means. So I really don't think it would be an issue.
Or, they do the opposite have a smaller 18- section of närcon that kids aren't allowed to leave. But I doubt that would happen. You CANNOT run an event for kids if you can't guarantee their safety is the highest priority. If it's not you simply can't run the event for kids at all. If they miss something inappropriate the reaction should be "oh shit we fucked up and will deal with it right away" not "well pedos are welcome since we can't read thoughts to ban them anyway so it's fine".
If you have rules and you don't uphold those rules, you do in fact NOT have rules.

>>2135153100% agree with everything anon said. Selling sexualized items is not a human right nor a philosophical question.
I've mentioned it before ITT, but putting up a strict 18+ section out of kid's sight is not that hard. In a german convention I visited they had a separate counter where you showed your ID/passport and got a specific ticket (one of those paper festival bands they put around your wrist) you showed the worker at the entrance to that section. They had also sorta put up a wall between the entrance and the area, so even if someone underage would try to sneak a peek they wouldn't see anything except for the couple of sfw anime artworks they had put up as decoration.
Hell, if the NC staff would use their brains for once it could be a good business opportunity: have adults pay 20kr as an entrance for the ticket and they can buy all the uncensored yaoi they want.

>>2133877I just have to mention that the directly responsible staff member Sora (who claimed they're in charge of what is 18+ or not) response to all this said
>"if we banned the titty-mousepad then we'd have to ban half of artist alley too" (implying that therefor they can't ban it)Which first of all isn't even close to true. I was there a as a visitor and looked at literally every single artist's booth. Most AA sellers did not have anything that looked anywhere near sexual, at all. If they did it wasn't shown nor advertised in 99% of cases so nobody would have known. There's usually only a handful of people with a spicy album you can flip through if you want. Most people in AA know what 18+ means and do not have or show it. The few who do show it usually either 1. sell mostly 18+ stuff or, 2. have like 1-2 prints that cross the line and the rest is fine. (C-huset and vendors is another thing…)
So I cannot stress enough how painfully easy it was to spot the frankly few inappropriate drawings in AA, especially the giant ass-sign which you could see literally from across the street, staff claims they somehow missed it… but also that it was totally allowed anyway since it's not sexual. Until the other mod said it is sexual and went ban crazy on the people who raised the alarm. Butt anyway…
There really aren't that many AA sellers that do 18+ stuff, and the ones who do are usually the same people, like the person with the ass-sign had a lot of such things while the next had none. So for most people not showing 18+ images is super easy and they'd only have to remove 1-2 prints at most. If they're an "18+ only" artist then applying to a family friendly event was retarded to begin with and they only have themselves to blame.
Honestly the ONLY sexual thing you see regularly on half the tables are retarded troon flag shit that promotes castration and mutilation of kids for adults fetishes, and we all know närcon has their head deep into the woke-ass ideology so that wasn't even a thought in their head when they made the comment.

Catching up so sorry if it's been posted already, but I noticed that "afternoon fika" who is a pretty well-known kawaii artist in swedish con-artist circles joined in to shut the banned users up even cross-servers. At this point she is just silencing people for her own personal reasons because she knows the närcon mods look collectively bad due to this drama and she doesn't want the bad press for herself.
I actually never realized she was a mod both in the närcon discord and the nordic artist alley discord. Kind of fucked up how much power she has in the nordic con-world by doing that, and people who seek out those positions of powers tend to do so for nefarious reasons. I used to feel like afternoon fika was the one you could point to and go "see we have good wholesome kawaii artists too" but now that I've seen first hand how she silences people I'm suspecting it's a very curated image and they've simply been silencing and banning any criticism. I bet there's more dirt on those hands, it's always the people who make the cutest art and pretend to be "wholesome beans" who have the nastiest personalities irl

Even if you are genuinely that kind of cringe ass person irl you still have to act like a respect-worthy "leader" if you're taking on that roll. Or people will literally not respect you or the rules, as is the case with her.
Her art is cute but it's so generic, I think she's just lucky to be the only person in sweden who does that type of generic kawaii as a brand. Most artists here prefer drawing characters and are afraid of being seen as "simple weebs". I legit think her skill level is too low to draw anything else though.

Can we talk about the fact that afternoon fika and others are now able and allowed to pay their way in as vendors instead? I know afternoon fika is a big advocator of this since they profit on it a lot. It's not the fact that they're moving on from being small artist into being a big business, it's that they're allowed to do that while still acting like it's pretty much artist alley.
All the while närcon is saying they want "more variety" at närcon, yet they allow the artists who already have 100+ spots and an entire building to themselves to also take over C-huset and take up all the rooms so fewer and fewer associations can come and host activities. Not to mention afternoon fika was already one of the invited big artists at närcon so they never had to fight for a table in AA anyway. It seems unfair to me. It's also extra annoying and confusing because afternoon fika claims to only really room with "other talented artists" but leave out that they regularly room with "kawaii vendors" who are not artist at all. It really muddies the waters when they openly mix artists and vendors like that and they won't even admit to it.
And on top of that some big artists now sell both in c-huset AND in artist alley at the same time. They just have a friend sit in one of the places. I think that's not allowed in AA (because you have to sell "your own" stuff) but I guess as long as the friend is the one in c-huset that's not even against the rules since that's not AA. Also seems very unfair. And since those "made by you" rules aren't even in c-huset people can sell whatever they want and pretend it's made by them, it's not against the rules. They've just opened up to a big ugly mess by allowing this.

I've heard some old drama about neon heart before though I never got the details. I did get suspicious when she suddenly changed name from pastelbat or whatever it was before, definitely felt like she was hiding something from her past. Why else abandon your big following just to try to build it up again under a different name? Would have been one thing if she had changed her audience from kawaii to "sad beige mom" or whatever else is trending but she literally did the exact same stuff so there was no reason to change it…
And I was suspecting melty would be one of the names kek

>>2148368A male photographer who regularly held lectures at närcon (maybe he still does) talked about how he got a "feminist" banned because she kept making threats to him for being sexist by taking objectifying images of cosplaying women. It sounds dubious until you see the photos she complained about, which were a pretty modest disney princess cosplay that only had a bit of cleavage and were taken at the request of the cosplayer. Still, that was HIS side of the story and he had raunchier photos taken (still at the request of the cosplayer/model though). Still, NärCon calling itself openly feminist while the only person I know of to be banned was a feminist banned for holding feminist views is not a great look for them.
It's the only case I know of, NärCon certainly don't ban vendors or AA artists for breaking rules and they work hard at silencing anything bad that happens.

Honestly anyone who has been in the con world, specifically närcon, for as long as she/they have (referring to both Ida and her gf Caro) knows that they're run by pedo-sympathizers so to align with them is highly questionable in of itself. I can't imagine aligning with people like that even for money, they do it for free because it gives them the power to silence people and it benefits their business.
They saw the whole convo of people being mad that loli and sexual content is allowed, they kept their mouths shut when mods said pedos are at närcon and they do nothing about it, they kept their mouth shut when people were banned for just asking about safe guarding for kids. But they stepped in and answered something else instead so we know they were there following it. They know all the sexual and loli pedo stuff is going on too since they saw those posts. So at best they pretend they don't see it because it benefits them financially if people don't know how unsafe närcon is for kids. At worst they're also pedo-sympathizers themselves. And given that Ida has worked in a preschool like

sus. I get it if a naive female 18-20 year old who has never dealt with kids is like "loli isn't that bad for kids" but when you've actually been responsible for kids well-being you know how innocent and vulnerable they are and how important safe guarding really is. To throw that aside for money and power is the highest level of disgusting, they truly have no morals.

I think it's an intimidation tactic. Instead of joining in the conversation they let everyone reading know that they fully support the pedo-mod, that you're not just going up against one person, but all of them.

I was looking at the "artist rooms" in c-huset and naturally assumed they were all artists/designers in there, I swear I even heard one of the vendors saying "yeah, we're all artists in here" to another buyer at some point (though I think that was an actual artist who said it but who knows). I thought about buying something to support one of them when I spotted some very clearly bought items on their table (like game characters and sanrio) and it dawned on me that it wasn't their art at all. Or at least some items weren't, but it was impossible to tell which was which now.
Some of those rooms had "handmade" pottery and I don't know if it was made by them or if they bought handmade pottery to resell so I didn't want to buy anything in case it was a "scam". NärCon is naturally not going to make any coherent rules about it either because they give 0 fucks.

>>2165185I think anyone who has their own photos of anything even slightly sexual or weird from närcon should send in tips to news magazines/websites. Especially if they're small and local to where you live as that increases the chances of them actually writing something about it. Even if one single tip isn't very interesting to them I imagine if they get a couple here and there after each närcon and they suddenly sit on 20 different instances of it they suddenly have a big scoop.
I think for the local magazines you can just mention you're a local who suffered because of närcon. For me it would be "Small Town's citizen speaks out about being sexually harassed as a teen at child friendly närcon, now she's warning parents about it". Maybe even type it up like an opinion article and ask if they'd be willing to publish it. Idc if this seems unhinged, they admitted that pedos go there and they invite kids, this is not something to be taken lightly.

>>2165416>word needs to get out either wayYeah I think talking about it casually with all your friends who are into games and anime is a good start. It already feels like everyone kinda knows and hates närcon behind the scenes. I've walked into many associations shit talking staff at least one time per convention basically.
I've been in association rooms doing their activity, the association staff were casually talking about närcon staff sucking and a guy who happened to be wearing a shirt the same color as staff walked into the room and they all instantly shut up. As they saw he wasn't staff they actually said out loud "oh good, you're not staff false alarm! Anyway närcon sucks…" it was quite funny to watch, and weirdly it's happened more than once by different associations.
It's sad that so many images here got lost (still hoping they can be recovered but not really counting on it) but the fact that

>>2165468tbh being association staff and spending the days talking shit about närcon is some of my most cozy and wholesome memories of attending nc as an adult kek in my mind I remember it having some sleepover-vibes but I know in reality I hated every. fucking. minute. and couldn't wait for it to be over. But at least back then what all we would complain about was the ineptitude of the entire fucking staff and rolling our eyes närcon's attempts at being tongue-in-cheek funny about their own cringiness but it instead coming out as self-serving, not something so serious as what we're talking about ITT.
I hope the anons that posted the old screenshots comes back soon and repost them.

>>2165481>spending the days talking shit about närcon is some of my most cozy and wholesome memories of attending nc as an adult kekMe too kek I've bonded with so many adult visitors over complaining about närcon. That moment when you've just said something bad närcon did to a new person and the other person leans in, half whispering "I'm sorry for saying this but…" and then they go on a super long rant about a shit load of bad things they've experienced at närcon but clearly never before had gotten to share with anyone lmao there's this light in their eyes when they realize they can finally talk about it all freely
I think närcon staff knows most visitors are walking time bombs like that, they all could expose them if they knew they were allowed to talk and that's why närcon shuts down even minor complaints the second they see it and refuse to ever talk to anyone in public spaces.
It's like how old school youtubers know they made skits in black face saying the n-word left and right and were making fun of retards, now they live in constant fear of someone digging up their old material and getting them cancelled. I think japan-jens and the regular staff crew is the same, he's been allowing hentai and pedo-material around kids for 20+ years because it was "fine" (it wasn't really) back when he started so he can't back down (doing so would be admitting he was wrong for doing it before) so now that times have changed he lives in constant fear of someone exposing it.

This was posted in a discord I'm in by someone who knows one of the banned people, this was the reply to said banned person that she got a whole month after getting banned. David Fallgren is one of the top organizers at närcon iirc. He is apparently super happy and content with the mods acting like retards, sperging about pedos and banning members over non-existing rules in a discord that didn't even belong to närcon at the time as it belonged to that afternoon fika girl. And he says they're happy with the rules at the events, aka allowing the pedo content that started all this.
I think I might have some of the earlier screenshots saved, so perhaps I can repost them at a later date.

How the fuck does he claim he read up on the issue and still did not apologize when the svaltard even admitted he banned these kids for not breaking any rules? He must have gone straight to svaltard who then wormed his way out of it by lying again

>>2190637I assume so yes. It seems like it's like regular närcon but they have to do even less themselves and get even more money. To be fair the events närcon run are usually pretty shitty, it's always the visitors + associations events that are actually fun and well run, but that's because närcon refuses to take any criticism whatsoever and never improve.
If any nona is going I'd love to see photos of the cringe, I live too far away to justify going

Ska någon gå på comic con? Ni som gått hur brukar det vara? Funderar på att gå själv men tvekar något enormt av någon anledning
No. 2229105
>>2229088Upplägget är mer eller mindre som en standard mässa. Större delen av utrymmet är täckt från topp till tå av av bås som säljer grejer, förutom ett bås där det sker live podcasts då och då.
Om du bara ska gå som en casual besökare och inte cosplayer, så rekommenderar jag att du kollar vilka gäster som kommer och schemat för aktiviteter. Det är väldigt värt det om man har ett fast mål för vad man vill göra där (tyckte Mads Mickelsens Q&A för några år sedan var väldigt rolig) eller har barn, men vill man bara gå för sakens skull så är det inte riktigt värt det imo för då är man vanligtvis rätt klar med eventet inom max 3 timmar vilket inte är värt biljettpriset.
No. 2229169
>>2229088Har hört för många som klagar på att comic con bara är extremt giriga vilket betyder att allt är dyrt och det fick mig att inte vilja gå. Iirc tar de mer betalt för biljetter ju längre du väntar med att köpa, vilket jag tycker är en vidrig taktik. Man ska inte behöva impulsköpa biljett ett halvår tidigare för att få ett rimligt pris och man ska inte bli straffad för att man köper biljett så "sent" som samma månad när det uppenbarligen finns biljetter kvar.
Förutom det är jag lite lockad av comic con för att det känns som det är lite mer mainstream och lite mer riktat mot vuxna. Närcon (som är det enda jag kan jämföra med) är en sån pedofest att det skulle vara skönt att slippa den delen. Samt att comic con globalt/allmänt har lite bättre rykte och har riktiga kändisar tex stora internationella skådespelare. Närcon har typ bara svenska youtubers som inte ens är relaterade till konventet, och någon enstaka japansk d-kändis som ingen någonsin hört om men vi förväntas vara imponerade av enbart för att de är från det heliga weeb landet Japan.

I hope people are getting fed up. I recall hearing some people disgusted with a very brave man who wore a Sweden Democrats hoodie all around NC summer. While I'm not a fan of the Sweden Democrats, I do enjoy seeing people be openly provocative towards the uwu too sensitive twanz snowflake crowd. The fact that someone tried means a lot to me, even if I don't agree with his politics.
He might not even have voted for them, and may have just worn it for the sake of agitation. Given the current state of Scandi nerd culture, it wouldn't surprise me.

>>2233111>but at least one was called 'Chigga please' and had a black finger icon making the fuck you sign.That's very male coded, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some sweaty gamer bros somewhere plotting against närcon. They seem pretty detached from the rest of the "uwu anime" parts of närcon to begin with.
>I do enjoy seeing people be openly provocative towards the uwu too sensitive twanz snowflake crowdOh kek hadn't heard about that. I also dislike SD but the fact that it's seen as disgusting to have a diverse political opinion is so ridiculous, especially when it's literally just wearing a shirt. Not to get too political but I've never seen anyone who supports SD say/do anything as heinous as supporting child sterilization and mutilation of their bodies and genitals the way they openly do to "trans" kids. Neither group is good imo, but TRA are arguably more evil at the core.
I'm glad people are starting to stand up to närcon a little bit. I hope he can get some friends to join him wearing provocative shirts next time kek

>I just have to mention that the directly responsible staff member Sora (who claimed they're in charge of what is 18+ or not) response to all this said "if we banned the titty-mousepad then we'd have to ban half of artist alley too" (implying that therefor they can't ban it)this is so fucking rude to everyone selling in artist alley. They're saying all (half at least) the artists there are degenerate coomers who just CANNOT draw anything but sexual coomery porn! I've had several friends sell there who are strictly against making porn and/or who are
victims of sexual abuse so to imply they are the ones being sexually degenerate in public and innocent närcon simply can't stop it is just infuriating.
And like you said
>I was there a as a visitor and looked at literally every single artist's booth. Most AA sellers did not have anything that looked anywhere near sexual, at all.it's not even that common to begin with. Sora must be a huge coomer who only pays attention to coom art, which isn't surprising as they're working for närcon.

I have the NärCreative discord muted but checked it out of curiosity for the first time in months. Is that pedo guy Svalan the main owner/head mod now? I assume since
>>2156170 this happened and the afternoon girl left and it now looks like he's the head of everything?
So you have a guy who's a massive pedo dick act like a dick, and then after he single-handedly causes the biggest "scandal" they've ever had they make him the head of the server? NärCon could not be shoving shit down their own throats faster.
In other news they finally switched to application instead of first come first served for artist alley. I'm curious to see if it means more or fewer woke artists get in or if we'll see specific styles favored. I'm guessing more porn/erotic artists will get in since the NärCon staff in charge of artist alley are confirmed degenerate coomers.
No. 2258693
>>2256856I do wonder if the application thing will allow for people who don't virtue-signal aggressively.
I've heard Confusion for example is massively fucked up with how they always select mostly the same people year after year, and outright refuse people who don't write things like 'BLM' or 'Free Palestine' or have pronouns in bio.
No. 2258727
>>2256856>>2258693>I do wonder if the application thing will allow for people who don't virtue-signal aggressively.I honestly think they'll vet out anyone who isn't a massive virtue signaler. I can imagine them having some internal rule that they won't pick anyone without pronouns in their bio. Firstly because that's a "
terf and nazi dog whistle", and/or secondly because they're deadly afraid they'll misgender the person by accident when they don't have the pronouns written down.
As someone who likes to laugh with my friends about woke shit we see there at least it will be gold-mine for that! It's just too bad it will be at the expense of art. I'm considering starting to upload deranged sexual shit I see at conventions online, but idk what sites scandinavians even use? Reddit? Tiktok?
I'm sure that useless person called Sora who have been in charge of artist alley is going to be one of, if not the only person, picking who gets to come. Sora is the one who thinks squeezing drooling anime girls boobs is a child friendly activity, so I imagine the coom levels will increase by a lot. I've been to närcons artist alley with a bunch of normies and they were disgusted with the amounts of sexual shit they saw as is. The problem is nobody with morals would ever apply to work for närcon so they're left with degenerates all around.

>>2256856>In other news they finally switched to application instead of first come first served for artist alley.I'm not a regular with the art stuff, but can they guarantee the people picking won't just pick their friends every time? Have they publicly listed who the judges are? Närcon is relatively small and tend to play the "we're family uwu" card. It's gonna be a situation of the person being damned if they don't pick their friends, and damned if they do and others find out they played favorites.
Usually in this scenario you're not allowed to even apply if you have any close connection to any of the judges, but there is no way in hell närcon would actually be fair and do that.

>>2256856They have some weird new rules now.
5 tables are reserved for "professionals" for the highest price, and 5 for "rookies" for free. The rest are for "community" who are not professional artists. Except they aren't, because you're allowed to submit to all 3 categories at the same time. You're encouraged to lie about if you're a professional or not? Confusing choice.
Here are the judges listed:
"Linnea of Feefal Art (
https://www.instagram.com/feefal/)
Sora Naglitsch, long term Artist Alley organizer at NärCon
David Fallgren, Main Organizer of NärCon Sommar"
So anons were right that Sora the coomer is a judge. David is also a known degenerate närcon leader. Both woke cultists of course. Feefal is a semi-famous artist who usually gets invited to an automatic spot at närcon just for being famous. No idea if she's in the cult or not as I don't follow her.
They finally added

My online friend applied to have a room activity thing at närcon winter, and the tickets for the con were released the other day so I figured I'd ask if he got in since I'm only going if he'll be there. It's quite a bit for me to travel there so I don't wanna waste time and money on a hotel and travel unless I get to see friends. My friend let me know närcon doesn't even let people who are hosting a room or activity know beforehand if they actually got in or not. I find that so insane, how are they supposed to plan then? And how can närcon sell tickets without even confirming with the people holding activities that they'll be there?!
I guess they're so used to doing things with minimal effort in the last minute that they assume that's how normal people operate too…?
