   Imagine calling Jon Carmack a "grifter". You know that word is actually supposed to mean something. Ironic for a group of people who consistent engage in tactical stupidity when labelled a woketard.

     @Moon @crunklord420 i mean, i'm all for having scifi conferences that are not wokefests, just feels weird to have the headliner of a scifi conference be someone who has nothing to do with scifi

     @lain @crunklord420 just to be clear I think the convention sounds cringe, I agree with you. But I assume because it's a very small convention they are trying to milk him for publicity since he's probably more famous than the authors that will go to a "based con".
