>>10957018unironically people are spreading the ryan kopf is a rapist shit and it's killing his cons. Which is a shame because if he'd just "retire" and take his name off the sites and shit the reputation would go back up slowly but surely cause they run a good con.
I think it's also the frustration of "we give suggestions and you refuse to listen and cheap out on shit for no reason".
There was also apparently an official vendor booth selling this shit.
Honestly, might be my last midwest cause the panels were kinda dogshit this year compared to last, the con never expands and unlike Magic where it feels more "homely" when the convention center shuts down, Midwest feels like it just fucking dies when the center shuts down.
Hell, even if you like Kopf cons CAD is a better experience than Midwest.
Basically it's a lot of things, but him being a greasy sex pest isn't helping anything, plus his refusal to change or expand the con in any positive ways and cheap out in ways that everyone enjoyed is shitty and puts people off.
