Emoti-Con Staff and Racism

I've attached the relevant section of Emoti-Con's rules and admissions page.

Firstly, as outlined above, your Sponsorship Coordinator/Vendor Coordinator made a post defending blackface and cultural appropriation and compared critics to actual pro-life terrorists.

Secondly, your Panelist Coordinator/General Operations manager boasted about manhandling a female admin and physically preventing her from leaving the premises due to stress (when eyewitness accounts from convention security said that she was removing herself from a harmful situation for mental health reasons), and has a "social justice league" tag on his Tumblr that includes things like defending the cops at Ferguson and 

Remember when gaming used to be about actually playing games instead of complaining about irrelevant shit like the main protagonist’s skin colour or ethnicity or sex or sexuality? Where games were reviewed and judged based on their actual merits as opposed to who was fucking who? Before it was poisoned by feminism and social justice warriors with victim complexes trying to make everything about themselves?

and this absolute piece of filth


At least one of Emoti-Con's admins - Megg Eli - is fully aware of the behaviour described above and has herself previously defended racist trends in fandom.

People have posted on Emoti-Con's Facebook page asking for an account of this behaviour and comments have just been deleted rather than addressed.

How can Emoti-Con honestly claim to “provide a safe environment for you and everyone associated with our event” when you have staff contributing to a toxic culture of victim-blaming and ‘social justice’ bashing?

Can you please explain why you think the behaviors outlined in the posts are acceptable? Can you please explain why you continue to employ people who engage in this behavior? Can you please explain why Emoti-Con is choosing to be represented by people who feel comfortable with things like this?

^^ THIS. ALL OF THIS. 

The fact that they stalked someone and caused that person to have a full-on panic attack is reprehensible as hell.

Not only have they stalked people, they are deleting massive amounts of posts on Tumblr and Facebook as soon as anything remotely resembling a legitimate question comes up.

Here's a question for you, Emoti-Con.

How about actually owning up to deleting posts on social media?
How about actually answering real questions like the mysterious guest list that was supposed to be up a month ago?
How about telling us the gods honest truth about the Welcome to Nightvale fiasco because the excuse that they "chose not to get paid" is total bullshit and you know it. 

Emoti-Con is a scam, pure and simple. You can give it a fresh coat of paint, but it's still a piece of crap.

I'm really sorry for posting again, but I don't know if you saw this? I see you've been online but it's been four days and there's still no response.

They've answered an Ask on Tumblr, made a post on Facebook (and deleted a whole bunch more comments), and the Forum stats say that they've been online a couple of times in the past week.

At this point it's pretty clear that Emoti-Con doesn't have an issue with the poor behavior exhibited by their staff, and doesn't respect FOrum members enough to answer pretty basic questions.
