No vegan food at NärCon

The 20.000 visitor con NärCon barely had any vegan food options, and when the poor vegan visitors finally found the one place that served vegan food (which was NärCons own booth) the staff had instead ditched the vegan grill to put even more meat there. Because "most people want meat anyway". Not everyone is vegan for ideological reasons, there are people who are severely allergic to meat so this is a serious health hazard. On top of that it's straight up just very rude to vegan visitors who need to eat to make their vegan food dripped in leftovers of meat from the grill.

"They can just leave the con to eat" Can they though? NärCon actively encourages young kids to come without parents (and then they admit pedophiles also come as if that's not an issue, but we digress...) so you do often see kids alone. Making vegan kids have to leave the con area, alone without adults, just to get food so they don't have to starve is ridiculous and massive safety issue! Especially since a lot of them have travelled out of town for the con and they don't know the area well.

the NärCon mods are fucked up

The NärCon discord is full of terrible mods. I can't believe they let a power hungry bully mod ban multiple people just for standing up to him LITERALLY lying, threatening people, and spreading misinformation. The mod called Svalan/Thomas at NärCon is such a massive douchbag it's unreal. I was silent the whole time and just left today after watching the shit show go down and finally realizing... these people are terrible. Genuinely bad toxic people, if I'm around them I might end up toxic like them. I don't want that. Another member posted they're leaving because they were scared of the mods oppression, and I agreed with them in my head and left too. I regret a tiny bit not leaving a message too, but we all know NärCon deletes any and all criticism they get in seconds so what's the point? They're not gonna care. He was joking about how he banned them instead of using time out or warning them. He clearly just wanted their messages calling out his disgusting behaviour out to be gone.

I believe EVERY person who called Svalan/thomas out has now been banned by him. Weird huh? NärCons mod Svalan/Thomas is manipulative and scary. No space is safe if he's in it. I truly fully believe that.

And the other NärCon mods and staff/"pandas"? One panda named Eskil admitted NärCon KNOWS pedophiles go there he even said they are "guranteed" to be at NärCon! He didn't see it as an issue or even a stupid ass statement to make?! Insane how little they care about kid's safety. And this guy works as a teacher?!?!?!? RED FLAG.

I don't know all the mods I dont think, but I know 2 more. The one called Sora can't tell sexual from non-sexual and thinks HIGHLY inappropriate sexual material should be shown to kids. Squeezing a woman's breast is serious sexual harassment, but Sora can't see why encouraging young kids to squeeze the foam tits of a drooling anime toy is fucked up? Like really really really fucked up… and Sora is the panda in charge of telling others what is and isn't allowed regarding sexual levels, so that's clearly a terrible job match. NärCon has no safeguarding for kids AT ALL.

But the saddest one for me is the mod afternoonfika aka Caro. I always admired afternoon fikas art, they were someone I looked up to as an aspiring artist. She silently watched other small artists get unfair threats, being treated like absolute shit just for standing up to Thomas/Svalan, and she said or did nothing. Just like the other mods. Didn't even correct Thomas/Svalan's lies about the rules or why he banned people. I thought maybe she was scared too and didn't want to get involved, but lo and behold, one of the banned users showed up in my other artist discord and just mentioned the abusive mod banning people, and like a hawk she told her to shut up. Caro attacked the victim and didn't even let them share their side of the story. That's so so so fucked up. I didn't think that about afternoonfika. Unfollowed them on all platforms, I can no longer support them after I know they side with bullying abusers. :(

Fulfilled my childhood dream of cosplaying Retasu🥬 from Tokyo Mew Mew 💖💖

It was the first cosplay I ever attempted making (I gave up on it immediately lol) so it feels pretty good to finally have made it even though it took me 15 years :)

Närcon still has so many issues in 2024.

It's so funny/tragic seeing people had valid complains and concerns about närcon from a decade ago - and nothing has changed since then! They are still magically understaffed EVERY year. It's on fucking purpose at this point - they want gullible naive teens to work for them for free under the guise of "we're family guys uwu this con wouldn't be anything without you we luw u guys sooo much little panda buddies uwuwuwuwu" and the poor teens who don't know better think that's sweet and not just a manipulation tactic made by greedy adults to make them work even longer, for free, while närcon lines their own pocket with more money every year. There is no age limit on kids working for free for närcon btw. Because 14 year olds make such good staff members right? They're totally ready to handle 12000 visitors! For 10-12h a day! Well, it's supposed to be like 6h, but every ex-panda/staff I've talked to was forced to work 10-12 instead (often in hot as hell sunny weather) because... they're understaffed. How convenient for närcon huh.

Of course those people are also not checked properly either. I've seen groups of teen staff be loud and rude as fuck to little kids. Causing havoc and certainly not doing any work. And judging from past discord drama, plenty of longer lasting staff members feel comfortable being quite rude to visitors too. Visitors paying for a sleeping hall being met witha bright fucking light that couldn't be turned off at night being told "well we're not a hotel" is just- bruh. Turning of the light is such a fucking minimal requirement and valid complaint. No reason for staff (who are clearly not trained to handle upset customers) to be snarky about their own freaking shortcomings.

They also insist on everyone using their frankly garbage app that is held together with kindergarten level glue. It crashes about 50% of the time when I try to use it.

NärCon is honestly pretty shit. They act like they're so uwu welcoming on the outside but they're greedy and rotten on the inside.
