An open letter to tf con chicago
Hey y'all, its been a week and a half since tfcon Chicago. I've taken time to think and calmed down a bit. If you read my original post, I was angry because the crowd had surged on me and I had actually gotten injured. I was overstimulated, angry, and had spent 1000 bucks to get up there.
Would I change my angry post? Yeah, I would maybe include less profanity... but my anger still stands. I'm not rich by any means, I had spent a year saving and giddying because Transformers means so much to me.
It was there for me when I was at my lowest, the characters were still Starscream, still Optimus, still the same one that got me through my lowest... and I didn't get to enjoy the con meant specefically for them. You could imagine how upsetting that was for an audhd person who is unwell about the series.
I mentioned getting injured, that and people were just flat rude. I tried to get to a small artist's table and got shoved back for "cutting in line for the bigger artist" when I wasn't. All in all, I know this is a fan run convention, but its just... ouch.
I truly hate getting personal, but this series means so much to me. To have my first big con expierence ruined was just... gutwrenching.
