I knew a person who attended dash con, she said she met a person who was crying in the lobby because as volunteer staff they were guaranteed to have a room to stay in, only that was a lie. They were far from home with nowhere to sleep. So she and the people she was staying with agreed to let them camp out on their floor. I can't imagine how scary that must have been
Strange Aeons made a very well in depth video about dash con and she actually talks about this happening. Apparently a lot of the issues from dash con stem from the fact that there were three people running a convention. Two of them arguably were just trying to take the money and run, and the only one that actually cared was a 17 year old girl.

Hearing tumblr talked about in the past tense is hilarious because like... it's still around and pretty active, a lot of the brainrot people kinda flew the coup to twitter.
@kaiserfranzjoseph9311 Theoretically, it does, but it's much less likely to pull off then and would require *very* low standards on the part of convention-goers. In any case, I get what you mean, but I thought the comparison would be funny (not to say that you're denying that, though).
Some creators are kind of fed up with VidCon right now due to their last second switch to requiring a $1000 pass to get into the hotel. The climate is ripe for TanaCon 2...
Conventions are either fun places to obtain posters, and interact with big names in entertainment among other things, or they’re… WHATEVER THE HELL MAGIC MUSH REVEALED TO US IN THIS VIDEO.
No one went to my convention. I really thought at least 10k people attend my People who don't wash and talk about obscure tax laws in South America convention
You know what's hilarious about the toy market now? Adults are the ones buying them, not kids Edit: because some people missed the point. *They're buying toys for themselves* , most kids past a certain age don't care to ask for toys, they'd rather ask for an iPad, a phone, a console, a computer or money for a game they're already playing
There's a reason because most of us who were kids always wanted the toys we saw in our childhood as we grew up got jobs and living life we decided it's ok to buy toys we always want as a kid and its fine to have them.
Oh and fun fact, one of the attendees at the Last Pegasus Unicon is a young SaberSpark. I reccommend checking out RebelTaxi's vid about the same subject and actually interviewed SaberSpark about his experience.
@@leviticusprime4904 Don't worry, everyone is rotting. The best we can do is make the most of our time, and maybe get a little bit more if you play your cards right.
Yeah. I was on Tumblr when it happened. It's funny how some people said in hindsight it was a good convention and everyone else was just sexist... mostly because I'm suprised nobody said that at the time, really.
As a surviving make-a-wish kid, I get so uncomfortable when companies use dying children to make themselves look good. Don’t use my illness for clout please, just give me a good time while I’m out of hospital.
I was surprised to hear it was cancelled, due to the size of the fandom surrounding it, so out of curiosity, I googled it and yeah, it was concluded, not cancelled. It’s a small distinction, but still a necessary one.
There's a similar thing with Steven Universe where (and I preface this with the fact that I watched all shows I'll mention religiously as they aired) Adventure Time fans started spreading a lie about a year after Steven Universe Future finished that the original Steven Universe series had been cancelled over a season before it finished, to imply it was a bad quality show that nobody should watch. In spite of this being demonstrably untrue due to every episode of SU being aired on television, the sequel movie being aired on television, and all episodes of the sequel series SU:F being aired on television, SU fans have since adopted this lie because it makes them look like victims. In reality, SU was popular enough with teen/adult lesbians that they were a significant factor in deciding the scheduling of upcoming episodes - by airing them on tv in big "Stevenbombs" that were announced a month or more in advance, adults were much more able to adjust their life schedules to be able to watch it and pump up CN's ad revenue. By contrast, when Nickolodeon were faced with the same scenario with Avatar: The Legend of Korra, they chose to remove the show from television and air it exclusively online, meaning that not a single episode of the final season ever aired on tv, but I have never seen a single person claim it was cancelled in spite of there being a much stronger argument to be made that it was.
@@alexthorold3496Steven Universe ended with a movie and an epilogue season called “Steven Universe Future”. Think of the One Piece time skip/Naruto Shippuden, they’re basically indistinguishable.
If you ever plan on doing a sequel to this (because there are that many convention disasters), I’d highly recommend looking into Tentmoot. It was a Lord Of The Rings convention created by a scam artist, who is nowadays known as Andrew Blake, who claimed to have a “duplicate soul of Elijah Wood”. The convention never happened because the planning was just Andy begging the venue and vendors for free shit at the last minute, but it still managed to leave three Aussie and Kiwi actors from the Peter Jackson LOTR films stranded in America for a few days.
I went to Dashcon 2014 on Saturday, not knowing the event that transpired the night before. I was cosplaying as Hunter S. Thompson, while I met up with friends of mine who were at the con. I saw the ball pit, I walked around the con, and then I left. I had no idea that I would attend a convention that would live in such infamy.
A friend of mine wanted to do a local con, so I looked into events that failed. I remember reading about one that was started by a mother-daughter team that basically only started the con because they wanted to meet Johnny Yong Bosch. It's been a while so can't remember the name.
A con I’ve been going to called Holiday Matsuri failed pretty bad this last year. Had a huge incident with the water coolers around the con being drugged and just a total lack of security overall
Soon there will be enough con conventions to host Convention Con - aka ConCon, a Convention where each booth is dedicated to a failed convention while the ConCon runner runs away with your money.
Love the video but you left out a couple details about Tanacon. A couple of my favorites include: The lack of security (seriously one dude just flashed his VidCon badge and got in) and Tana Mongeau didn't even pay a penny of her own money for the convention.
Probably doesn’t believe in them and he has to eat, that’s what I usually call it when people obviously take sponsorships they don’t want, I took it from count dankula
It's honestly news to me. I guess I was pretty disconnected from greater Internet things around that time. If it wasn't in my TH-cam subscription feed, it did not exist.
For a bit of detail, Tumblr itself didn't sign in for Dashcon either. The reason it was called Dashcon was in reference to the Tumblr DASHboard (scroll page) since the organizers would have needed permission from Tumblr itself to use the name and branding, which Tumblr declined. But it seems to be a pattern with certain cons to believe that if they're nice enough, payment doesn't matter! Dashcon, the Brony con, ECT. Do the people running these things understand it's good to get your funds together BEFORE you open the gates?
“So we’re on some kind of ‘from the producers who saw Shrek’ type shit right now” caught me so off guard but it made me laugh. Your sense of humor and the strange but niche topics you cover are something that I wish I had sooner.
A friend of mine is an organizer for a moderately successful convention (this weekend actually), and he's got some stories to tell about how much of a ballache it is. Venue fees are outrageous to begin with, but if you're even _slightly_ popular they jack up the rates. Sponsors are hard to get because for the most part, any increase in sales from a single annual convention is negligible. He even once had to cancel their headliner performance _3 days beforehand,_ solely because the venue franchise owners (who had _already approved it)_ found out it was a metal band with a less-than-Christian image. Definitely not something just any Joe Schmo can try.
It's like if you want to cover famous shipwrecks, but have nothing new to say about the Titanic, because everyone already knows about that one; you still have to mention it or 90% of the comments will be asking why you didn't mention it.

Y’know, maybe it was a good thing Tumblr existed, and maybe more Dashcons should’ve happened to keep that side of the internet away from the grander public, which is unfortunate seeing as how they all migrated to Reddit and Twitter after Tumblr’s expected collapse.
@@Valtharr Only thing Tumblr was better than other sites for was porn. Once that was banned, there was zero reason to use Tumblr over other sites anymore.
Tumblr and 4chan have a lot in common, most of all that you can tell when someone’s never actually used the site because they talk about it as some spectre of whatever political beliefs scare them the most and not like, a website where thousands of people talk about cartoons and video games.
The Derpy Hooves thing is a great internet story on its own. The first 2 seasons of the show added a clumsy, possibly stupid nameless pony with googly eyes. The fans named her Derpy and turned her into a fandom-meme. And then Hasbro happened, making her "non-offensive", basically cancelling her. The fandom wasn't happy. Doesn't matter though, I felt the hype ended after S2.
@@jamesrosewell9081 Thats what people say who desperately clung to the community because otherwise noone would spend time with them. S3 started to ruin everyone with annoying stereotypical character traits.
@@jamesrosewell9081 It was mostly the end of S3 and the long hiatus that followed that marked the tide receding. Between the anger over the S3 finale and the uncertainty of another season coming, a lot of people lost interest. As the wait stretched on, most of the "bandwagon" types moved onto other things to sperg over and thus a lot of vitality in the fanbase was lost. By 2016 it was mostly just various species of insane people. If I'm not mistaken there was another distinct drop in participation in 2018. Further speciation has occurred since then; very interesting to observe.
I used to be a OG Brony, and of course i have an OC, went to a few cons, but then.... it started getting really really weird... A lot of "fedoras" started showing up. Excuse you Mr Mush! Friendship is Magic WAS NOT canceled, it ended, and moved on to the next generation like they've been doing since the 80s lol
I stuck it out with the con scene (mostly for the parties, even as a functional adult I gotta say that scene was pretty solid) until the show ended. Early on, most people were pretty chill, but as time dragged on, the cool people trickled away & were replaced with “obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine” types. It was getting really bad when I ghosted.
The brony convention thing made me realize that one day all of the bronies just... disappeared from the public consciousness. I really can't think of the last time someone has talked about anything related to that show
There’s still a few bronies out there but nowadays theyre mostly quarantined specifically to brony sites, or sometimes furry sites. weirdly enough, I’ll occasionally see mlp fanart on like twitter or something, but its mostly from women. theyre usually in their early 20s so my theory is that they were the actual demographic of the show (little girls) when the show was at its peak who still look back at it fondly
actually it's picked up quite a bit in the last 2 years again, this time consisting of the now older people who watched it as kids revisiting their childhood shows. There was a 'zombie infection' type trend in the fandom a bit back which ironically revived it. It's SO much more chill now that the girls who grew up watching it are enjoying it rather than creepy horny 30 year old men.
i love u mike. youre literally my favorite youtuber and your videos feel like hanging out with a good friend and listening to him talk before we play xbox together. Im really glad you made this channel and started posting

fun fact regarding the intro: tumblr is still live and kicking, despite everything, and this week some group unaffiliated with the original dashcon announced their intent to create dashcon 2. most of us are expecting it to blow up the way the original did.
Yes & the actor who played Chuck McGill from Better Call Saul also played a character on an episode of Star Trek Voyager (which John De Lancie also reprised his role as Q in different episodes of Voyager) Sure is quite a few Trek actors on BB/BCS
You forgot to mention for Las Pegasus Uni that on the 1st day a giant wall divided the artists and vendors and one side of the wall barely got any traction at all because no one thought anything was behind it. It was removed the next day but artists behind that wall were not making anything at all became of it
Can't wait for Mushcon, with a live performance by JustinRPG, a lecture from Movie Bob, and of course the Dontrel speedrun competition. I hear Dobson might even come by and sign some inflation art.
If you ever do a sequel & do furry conventions, instead of covering Rainfurrest (which has also been covered many times before) you could cover Antheria or FreeFurAll I'm actually glad you covered a bunch of smaller convention disasters I never heard of; I was bracing for the inevitable Rainfurrest drop
Rainfurrest, for all its drama, went off well enough that the average attender had no idea of most of the drama until after they left. It wasn't near the failure of any of the ones mentioned in this video. Besides, Internet Historian already covered it to death, and there's nothing new to say about it anymore. The dead horse has suffered enough. FreeFurAll died with a whimper, not a bang. There's not a lot to say about it.
Dang I wasn't expecting to see my country Philippines to be part of your video, heck I wasn't even aware Pokeverse even happened here. The person who documented that con deserves a award for posting and showing everyone what happened during that time. Tbh It's not just Pokeverse, there are tons of undocumented convention disasters that happened here there are other anime, cosplay, and gaming cons that ended in disasters. Mostly a lot of them went undocumented cause most of them are posted on facebook groups which unfortunately a majority of the posts got purged, photos, videos and comments got deleted by mods etc. Besides the Ravioli guy. There are others as well, there are a a ton of incidents where in guys age late 20s to their 50s who were creeps stalking young cosplayers, taking inappropriate photos zoomed in photos of them. Some of them got called out and posted online, but none suffered jail time. One even cosplayed as a COD solider and even brought a real gun to a cosplay con. Also there was a guy who literally cosplayed as a Nazi and went on doing salutes to everyone. And many many more, if I'm not mistaken some of those con incidents got posted on filipino tagalog subreddits and got archived. But for the most part most of them got deleted either due to the OP getting afraid of being sued by the one people who arrange the event or by the person they are cancelling, or just want the whole incident removed from their digital foot print online. You could try searching for them online, but for the most part conventions aren't much of a things cause of how pricey it is to get in to and how people view it as a waste of time and money here. Great video showcasing these incidents MM, love how you got stated the full details of each event.

Conventions are like armies; knowing how to handle them is *mandatory.*
Same for music festivals (just look at the recent disasters at Blue Ridge Fest and Capulet Fest).
@kaiserfranzjoseph9311 Theoretically, it does, but it's much less likely to pull off then and would require *very* low standards on the part of convention-goers.
In any case, I get what you mean, but I thought the comparison would be funny (not to say that you're denying that, though).
My favorite part of Dashcon is this gem:
"On the count of three let's all let out a big sigh. One... Two... Three... [Sigh]"
"I WANT MY MONEY BACK!"
Some creators are kind of fed up with VidCon right now due to their last second switch to requiring a $1000 pass to get into the hotel.
The climate is ripe for TanaCon 2...
Conventions are either fun places to obtain posters, and interact with big names in entertainment among other things, or they’re… WHATEVER THE HELL MAGIC MUSH REVEALED TO US IN THIS VIDEO.
There are 2 types of conventions
1. Mostly fun place to socialize with people irl over over-shared hobbies
2. Hell on earth.

You know what's hilarious about the toy market now? Adults are the ones buying them, not kids
Edit: because some people missed the point. *They're buying toys for themselves* , most kids past a certain age don't care to ask for toys, they'd rather ask for an iPad, a phone, a console, a computer or money for a game they're already playing
Yeah, because these days parents just stick an iPad in front of their face to let them get early brain rot.
Me collecting Matchbox cars:
@@Guymanbot97 I guess but in general a lot of modern kids don't play with toys anymore. Look at Star Wars
There's a reason because most of us who were kids always wanted the toys we saw in our childhood as we grew up got jobs and living life we decided it's ok to buy toys we always want as a kid and its fine to have them.
Speculation and adults paying outrageous prices for them didn't help

Friendship is Magic wasn't cancelled, it was ended, with a proper finale.
I was surprised to hear it was cancelled, due to the size of the fandom surrounding it, so out of curiosity, I googled it and yeah, it was concluded, not cancelled. It’s a small distinction, but still a necessary one.
There's a similar thing with Steven Universe where (and I preface this with the fact that I watched all shows I'll mention religiously as they aired) Adventure Time fans started spreading a lie about a year after Steven Universe Future finished that the original Steven Universe series had been cancelled over a season before it finished, to imply it was a bad quality show that nobody should watch. In spite of this being demonstrably untrue due to every episode of SU being aired on television, the sequel movie being aired on television, and all episodes of the sequel series SU:F being aired on television, SU fans have since adopted this lie because it makes them look like victims.
In reality, SU was popular enough with teen/adult lesbians that they were a significant factor in deciding the scheduling of upcoming episodes - by airing them on tv in big "Stevenbombs" that were announced a month or more in advance, adults were much more able to adjust their life schedules to be able to watch it and pump up CN's ad revenue. By contrast, when Nickolodeon were faced with the same scenario with Avatar: The Legend of Korra, they chose to remove the show from television and air it exclusively online, meaning that not a single episode of the final season ever aired on tv, but I have never seen a single person claim it was cancelled in spite of there being a much stronger argument to be made that it was.
@@alexthorold3496Steven Universe ended with a movie and an epilogue season called “Steven Universe Future”. Think of the One Piece time skip/Naruto Shippuden, they’re basically indistinguishable.
@@liammcnicholas918 honestly the thought did cross my mind to call it an epilogue, you're right that it is one
@@alexthorold3496
Well, Steven Universe _is_ a bad quality show they no longer should watch.
If you ever plan on doing a sequel to this (because there are that many convention disasters), I’d highly recommend looking into Tentmoot. It was a Lord Of The Rings convention created by a scam artist, who is nowadays known as Andrew Blake, who claimed to have a “duplicate soul of Elijah Wood”. The convention never happened because the planning was just Andy begging the venue and vendors for free shit at the last minute, but it still managed to leave three Aussie and Kiwi actors from the Peter Jackson LOTR films stranded in America for a few days.
Oh yeah, I read about that back last December while on a TVTropes binge.

I went to Dashcon 2014 on Saturday, not knowing the event that transpired the night before. I was cosplaying as Hunter S. Thompson, while I met up with friends of mine who were at the con. I saw the ball pit, I walked around the con, and then I left. I had no idea that I would attend a convention that would live in such infamy.
there's gotta be anime conventions that just straight up failed horribly
Izumicon 2018 comes to mind
Conquest from last year is a good example
A friend of mine wanted to do a local con, so I looked into events that failed. I remember reading about one that was started by a mother-daughter team that basically only started the con because they wanted to meet Johnny Yong Bosch. It's been a while so can't remember the name.
A con I’ve been going to called Holiday Matsuri failed pretty bad this last year.
Had a huge incident with the water coolers around the con being drugged and just a total lack of security overall

i never expected him to talk about something from the brony fandom, because literally everyone knows how shit it was back then lol.
I feel like this kinda video needs a part 2. There are so many other bad conventions that happened over the years that need attention
For real. I'm thinking the NFT event that blinded people, Rainfurrest 2015, Twitchcon 2018 and 2022
Soon there will be enough con conventions to host Convention Con - aka ConCon, a Convention where each booth is dedicated to a failed convention while the ConCon runner runs away with your money.

For a bit of detail, Tumblr itself didn't sign in for Dashcon either. The reason it was called Dashcon was in reference to the Tumblr DASHboard (scroll page) since the organizers would have needed permission from Tumblr itself to use the name and branding, which Tumblr declined.
But it seems to be a pattern with certain cons to believe that if they're nice enough, payment doesn't matter! Dashcon, the Brony con, ECT. Do the people running these things understand it's good to get your funds together BEFORE you open the gates?
“So we’re on some kind of ‘from the producers who saw Shrek’ type shit right now” caught me so off guard but it made me laugh. Your sense of humor and the strange but niche topics you cover are something that I wish I had sooner.
Minor-rama? No wonder so many Minecraft creators wanted to show up!
HA I was there and SkyDoesMinecraft, the headliner, never showed up. One less alleged *miner* lover at least.
A friend of mine is an organizer for a moderately successful convention (this weekend actually), and he's got some stories to tell about how much of a ballache it is. Venue fees are outrageous to begin with, but if you're even _slightly_ popular they jack up the rates. Sponsors are hard to get because for the most part, any increase in sales from a single annual convention is negligible.
He even once had to cancel their headliner performance _3 days beforehand,_ solely because the venue franchise owners (who had _already approved it)_ found out it was a metal band with a less-than-Christian image. Definitely not something just any Joe Schmo can try.

The Derpy Hooves thing is a great internet story on its own. The first 2 seasons of the show added a clumsy, possibly stupid nameless pony with googly eyes. The fans named her Derpy and turned her into a fandom-meme. And then Hasbro happened, making her "non-offensive", basically cancelling her. The fandom wasn't happy. Doesn't matter though, I felt the hype ended after S2.

@@jamesrosewell9081 It was mostly the end of S3 and the long hiatus that followed that marked the tide receding. Between the anger over the S3 finale and the uncertainty of another season coming, a lot of people lost interest. As the wait stretched on, most of the "bandwagon" types moved onto other things to sperg over and thus a lot of vitality in the fanbase was lost.
By 2016 it was mostly just various species of insane people. If I'm not mistaken there was another distinct drop in participation in 2018. Further speciation has occurred since then; very interesting to observe.

I stuck it out with the con scene (mostly for the parties, even as a functional adult I gotta say that scene was pretty solid) until the show ended.

The only semi-prominent TH-camr who still considers himself a brony is Joshscorcher, I think.
There’s still a few bronies out there but nowadays theyre mostly quarantined specifically to brony sites, or sometimes furry sites. weirdly enough, I’ll occasionally see mlp fanart on like twitter or something, but its mostly from women. theyre usually in their early 20s so my theory is that they were the actual demographic of the show (little girls) when the show was at its peak who still look back at it fondly
A huge majority of them moved to Bluey, from what I've seen.
actually it's picked up quite a bit in the last 2 years again, this time consisting of the now older people who watched it as kids revisiting their childhood shows. There was a 'zombie infection' type trend in the fandom a bit back which ironically revived it.
It's SO much more chill now that the girls who grew up watching it are enjoying it rather than creepy horny 30 year old men.

If you ever do a sequel & do furry conventions, instead of covering Rainfurrest (which has also been covered many times before) you could cover Antheria or FreeFurAll
I'm actually glad you covered a bunch of smaller convention disasters I never heard of; I was bracing for the inevitable Rainfurrest drop
Rainfurrest, for all its drama, went off well enough that the average attender had no idea of most of the drama until after they left. It wasn't near the failure of any of the ones mentioned in this video. Besides, Internet Historian already covered it to death, and there's nothing new to say about it anymore. The dead horse has suffered enough.
FreeFurAll died with a whimper, not a bang. There's not a lot to say about it.
I was not expecting that Plainrock cameo.
Fun Fact: This video was uploaded a day after DashCon's tenth anniversary
Dang I wasn't expecting to see my country Philippines to be part of your video, heck I wasn't even aware Pokeverse even happened here. The person who documented that con deserves a award for posting and showing everyone what happened during that time. Tbh It's not just Pokeverse, there are tons of undocumented convention disasters that happened here there are other anime, cosplay, and gaming cons that ended in disasters. Mostly a lot of them went undocumented cause most of them are posted on facebook groups which unfortunately a majority of the posts got purged, photos, videos and comments got deleted by mods etc.
Besides the Ravioli guy. There are others as well, there are a a ton of incidents where in guys age late 20s to their 50s who were creeps stalking young cosplayers, taking inappropriate photos zoomed in photos of them. Some of them got called out and posted online, but none suffered jail time. One even cosplayed as a COD solider and even brought a real gun to a cosplay con. Also there was a guy who literally cosplayed as a Nazi and went on doing salutes to everyone. And many many more, if I'm not mistaken some of those con incidents got posted on filipino tagalog subreddits and got archived. But for the most part most of them got deleted either due to the OP getting afraid of being sued by the one people who arrange the event or by the person they are cancelling, or just want the whole incident removed from their digital foot print online. You could try searching for them online, but for the most part conventions aren't much of a things cause of how pricey it is to get in to and how people view it as a waste of time and money here. Great video showcasing these incidents MM, love how you got stated the full details of each event.
