I get that a lot of discourse around the anime conventions that continue to happen in spite of COVID-19 is driven by people for whom running fandom events is their business, or for whom tabling at conventions is their business. This was always a bad idea.
gang, this shit is a hobby. Find something else to do that will pay your bills. Nerd conventions aren't going to do it. They don't have a healthcare plan or retirement benefits or paid vacations.
obviously nobody's going to listen to me; I've been saying this for years, & for years people say they're gonna be the exception that proves the rule, they'll be superstar millionaires selling copyright-infringing prints in artist alleys across the nation
they'll start a chain of comic-cons in third-tier markets across America where magical first-tier crowds will shell out $500 each for the VIP packages, studios will fight each other for their idea for an animated series. Fans with plans
none of this ever happens. Bills still gotta get paid. Learn a trade, kids. The nerd stuff will still be there when you clock out on Fridays
