Chelsea Buttons Lieser and Bruce Levine who also serves on @animenebraskon board of directors NJAS. These fine humans have more hatred in their hearts than anyone could know. They assisted in the Tanking of #animedetour immediately following its most successful convention cycle yet. Know their names.

@animenebraskon Your board memeber Bruce levine has no issue damaging partner events beyond repair. How can you support this?

Even when informed of their illegal activity, Anime Twin Cities did not slow their roll. I hope the anime con crowd likes 2010, because that's where we're headed back to.

Anime Twin Cities is killing its own convention.

Having known Ryan for going on 3 years now, I can verify that he is a really creepy dude. I met him when I was 13 (and granted I have always looked many years older than I really am) and ever since then he has tried hitting on me, regardless of how many times I tell him how old I am. I'm 16 now and things have gotten a lot worse too since now I'm legal in the state of Iowa's eyes. I just want people to know he is not a guy to mess around with and to be careful!

Well that’s creepy as all get out.

A friend sent me this:

This is Ryan Kopf. He is the head of multiple anime conventions under the company name Chrono, LLC. This includes Anime Zap, Anime-zing!, Anime-SPARK!, AniMinneapolis, Meta Con, Domo Con, and Anime Midwest. In addition to being shady, underhanded, and a jerk in general, he is also a confirmed rapist. Attached is the actual police report, documenting the incident. I urge you to raise awareness in any way you can. Forward this. Post its contents to Facebook, Tumblr, or whatever you use. The number of staff resigning from service of Chrono, LLC is already exponential, with one key demand for their return: Ryan Kopf must be removed from his position of power. Even guests have backed out, upon gaining the knowledge of Ryan’s reputation. Ryan has gone to extreme lengths to cover this rape case up, even blacklisting people from his conventions for bringing it up. These are not the actions of an innocent man. These are the actions of someone who is trying desperately to hide something.  He cannot stop knowledge from spreading. He cannot stop awareness from bring raised. He cannot stop the future. You— We— The people, whether you’re a con-goer or just someone who detests rapists, can make a difference. But only if we act. Now.

I need to add this. THIS is why I’ve been ill for WEEKS about people going to AniMinneapolis. Because in my head, I 100% believe he did this because I have worked with him and have seen how he acts HOWEVER. Nothing has been taken to court and convicted, so LEGALLY he hasn’t done anything. But it IS my opinion that he DEFINITELY has done something, no one can sue me for my opinion.

I have been told I am allowed to talk about it and reblog this, but I cannot say that he is LEGALLY a rapist. I can only say that within my own opinions and say he is ALLEGEDLY a rapist.

This isn’t the first time he’s been accused of rape. Shortly after this came to light, I had a friend inquire about the situation, and I explained, bare-bones. She asked for a name, and once she heard it, she said, with utmost confidence, “That’s the guy that raped my friend at Otakon.” This really isn’t his first rodeo.

EDIT: I apologize, the convention was Ohayocon, I wrote down the wrong convention.

More proof against those who say the report is fake and more disgusting behavior from Kopf’s team.

We did some investigation on this report that appeared online earlier this year. There were some questions of validity regarding the names of the police officers. 

However if you look here you can see that Brianna Anderson is real. Here to see that Officer Outlaw is real And I’m sure if you are curious enough you can look up the rest on your own.

The report is real. We have reached out to Davenport PD for more validation and they were able to validate the report.

Now this does not mean that Ryan  Kopf is a rapist, only that he has been accused.

Some people question why the victim did not press charges or get a rape kit.

Rape kits are intrusive and violating. 

Most rape victims blame themselves.

This is a Facebook group run by Ryan Kopfs (Chrono LLCs) Vice President and Person in charge of Entertainment at his Conventions. Notice the talk about sex and rape? Dante doesn’t ID? Dante is what the vice president goes as.

Stripping itself is not so bad. Stripping, making sexual gestures and swearing at a 13+ Panel is. This is Erica, Ryans Vice President and Executive of his conventions in charge of entertainment. Doesn’t look so family friendly to me.

[keepoutkopf]

These are just a few of the various ventures that Ryan Kopf is planning for the future.

Cosplay Girls - This site is loaded with images ripped from the internet.

Bishoujo Con - 16+ (Yea… 16) Hentai Convention

StuckCon - A Homestuck convention

Liberty City Anime Con - NY City Anime Convention

Remember, all of his conventions use free labor from volunteers. All profits are pocketed.
