- laurashapiro: On VVC, criticism, and warningsTo return to the subject of the con itself: in order for to make Vividcon accessible and fun for everyone, some things will have to change. Change is upsetting, and it takes work. It's particularly hard for people who have loved VVC for years just the way it is. We feel protective of VVC and of the people who make it happen.
But I want to work for the change, because I believe that my pleasure is not worth more than other people's pain, and because as much as I love Vividcon, I believe that it's possible for it to be better. - astolat: vividcon open policy suggestion - I'm not on the concom myself anymore and this isn't official, so please don't take it as such -- this is just my attempt to create a space to discuss the specific issues facing VVC and anyone who might be attending. -

gwyn_r: Warning: may contain peanuts - Back in the day, there weren't quite so many fans. There certainly weren't quite so many vids and vidders, and there weren't quite so many cons and places to play vids for a large audience. There was no such thing as online streaming of vids. One of the most well-known and probably the gold standard of vid shows was the Escapade premieres show on Saturday night of the con. That was the setting of the last big warnings brou-ha-ha, the place where the idea of the "overflow" room got started, and the place the whole idea of setting some loose rules of respect got going. -
