About Ty: if you weren't there, I wouldn't send an email that you have no basis on. I feel its very judgemental of you to patrol what someone else does w/ their life. Creation knows Ty and they have made a conscious decision to hire him for a year.
That’s true, i wasn’t there. I wasn’t there at Vegascon. I was, however, there last year at NJcon when he was pretty much plastered for the entire thing. I mentioned as much in my post. I also mentioned that a lot of people went up to me and mentioned his drinking and how uncomfortable it made them feel, and there was a general feeling of ”We gotta stay away from Ty” in the air, from a bunch of people. However there were some who thought the whole “boozehound” thing (their words, not mine) was cute and funny. Speaking as someone who comes from a family of addicts, and who has had alcohol addiction be a serious problem in my family and in friends of the family, i was only saying that it made me feel…..well, honestly it made me feel unbelievably uncomfortable and unsafe. I feel like i should clarify that word, what i mean by that is i wanted to leave the room as fast as i could and just go anywhere else. Anywhere. Just not be THERE. Now, as to patrolling what someone does with their life, i really don’t think i’m doing that. Hell i’m not even doing ANYTHING right at this moment and i probably won’t, given how i don’t like the idea of being “That Girl”. But i don’t think it’s wrong to point out how uncomfortable ty’s behavior has made others feel, or that there might be a potential problem there. I know a lot of people feel the same about Seb (and as someone who has no problems with Seb himself as a person, but finds the whole “Sexual Innuendos” act to be trite and boring and just something that should not be done at a con, i really kind of think there’s a difference between speaking lewdly and drinking to the point of degenerating to drinking from the BOTTLE, okay. ONSTAGE.) As to Creation, i can’t speak for them because i don’t’ know their booking policies, but (though some of them can be really awful people) i would like to think that if they knew how that kind of behavior was making a lot of their paying customers feel, they’d try and do something about it. I like to think that, anyway. Also, i’m publishing this, because though i wasn’t going to, i think the subject matter is serious enough. Apologies if you don’t want this published, i’ll delete, just let me know.
