>normieshit
Go back

>>42383616 (OP)
Go fuck yourself G% faggot
You ruin conventions
>>42383708
I cant wait for Faggot Berrow to proclaim that earth ponies had no magic in G4 and it was her that brought magic to earth ponies and she made progress and change in mlp

Anyone else going?

You guys should go, not because it's gonna be fun or good, just because someone should report back the absolute state of Trotcon

>>42383616 (OP)
literalwhere, literalwho, and literalwhat
We just had /mlp/con over a week ago faggot

I'm too cool to go to cons

>>42385722
It's Ohio's premiere pony con! Don't you want to go to Ohio?

You think Amber May is going to attract more Murder Drones fans than fans of her pony work?

>>42386413
100%

>>42386044
What goes on in Ohio?

>>42387038
Corn

Trotcon died in 2019. It's been a skinwalker wearing the name since then.

fuck trotcon. cytube sent bullshit lies to my once friend jeff burgess and he got creeped out and dropped out just to get away from me because he couldn't bother reading cytube logs to see that they were lying

>>42387038
The Cleveland Browns

>>42387576
hi Spec

>>42385086
I'm going for the fun. All pony cons are fun.

Yeah I'm coming, do any panels look interesting?

>>42387532
What the hell happened then?

>>42383616 (OP)
Do you still need to be up to date with jabs and boosters?

>>42389432
No

>>42383616 (OP)
How the fuck is this clown show still going? Is that alcoholic cunt too stubborn to let it die?

>>42386413
Who?

>>42389829
Because a lot of people still enjoy this convention. Believe it or not, some people are capable of enjoying things.

>>42389829
Clown show? I'm not up to date with the drama, qrd?

>>42389356
>cancel 2020 con that everyone hyped up because MUH COVID
>partner with ponyfest online for a very, very g-pg rated online con (this is foreshadowing)
>staff including party guy Kevin all get ousted
>in-hotel event happens years later
>anons get badges pulled for nothing
>there's a document labeling anonfilly as a hate symbol and other faggotry
>con staff has to be shouted down by hotel staff because they were harassing hotel guests (not con guests, hotel guests) for not wearing masks in public hotel spaces
>room parties and any meetups that are not scheduled or con-run are tracked down and shut down
>mandated vaccine and booster shit, LITERALLY causes an attendee to have a heart attack and be carted out by an ambulance
>can't fulfil any obligations like sponsor badge rewards on time
>the "hate symbol" document being leaked causes the staff meeting post-con to involve the con lead demanding staff admit who leaked the document, holding all the pizza hostage
>move to a huge convention center
>tiny attendance, it's empty and dead

>>42391119
Half that shit is related to Covid. Covid is over. Also, nobody was harassed for displaying an Anonfilly, and people even sold Anonfilly merch. Trotcon is fine. It's not the biggest or the best con, but it never was. It's still a good time, and it's back in a hotel.

>>42391119
Good recap. A lot of it comes down to the con chair, who micromanages and undercuts her own staff members to where many of the good ones eventually leave or get pushed out. It wasn’t always perfect, but they used to have a good group running things. All that hype and they basically sabotaged themselves.

>>42391119
>>the "hate symbol" document being leaked causes the staff meeting post-con to involve the con lead demanding staff admit who leaked the document, holding all the pizza hostage
hahahahahaha what

>>42389356
Well, there’s the Bluey appreciation panel and the “A Goofy Movie” viewing.

>>42389829
The voice of Alice in MD. Also did some MLP fandom shit like 10 years ago.

>>42389356
The “How Misty Brightdawn (Almost) Saved G5” panel sounds good.

>>42391445
Also, there’s will apparently be something involving K-Pop Demon Hunters.
And fursuits, of course.

>>42391164
>covid is over
Tell that to the con staff who had to be strongarmed into not requiring masks and proof of vaccination this year.

I'm checked in. Badge pickup starts in 90 minutes

>>42390278
So were you one of the retards who gave TrotCon money in their fundraisers, after they proved they couldn't properly run a budget? All because "wE cANt lEt cOnS diE"?

>>42392340
No, I didn't. I just like pony cons.

>>42392308
Planning to attend any panels? Like the G.M. Berrow one?

>>42392444
>Dinner and a Show feat. Canto Acrylic and The Manehattan Jazz Quartet
>Fizzlepop Berry Twist Appreciation Panel #Tempest Troop
>Horse Memes: Ultimate Edition
>Luck Rock’s Top 100 Brony Songs of 2024
>Name That Frame! A Pony Trivia Game
>The Fridge Horrors of G1

>>42392301
Is that real? That sounds made up but they're so stupid I wouldn't be surprised.

>>42391119
I've also been told by Trot veterans that a big part of the culture shift was due to the previous security lead passing away. Apparently he was a big reason for why people were allowed to get away with renegade panels and other fun shit.

>>42392498
What’s “The Fridge Horrors of G1” about?

>>42392647
>Many think G1 My Little Pony was all sweetness and light. This view is… mistaken. Join Arcane Flame on a journey through the fridge horror of G1 Ponyland—from deadly plants to eldritch monstrosities. You’ll never look at those sweet G1 ponies the same way again.

>>42392660
Hey, I saw this panel before. 6 years ago. At Bronycon.

>>42383836
>Obsessed

Anyone know when registration closes tonight?

>>42392526
It's made up. There was no mask mandate last year so they certainly weren't considering it this year

>>42392841
Midnight

Hey /mlp/. I was the fag that stole and read off the big list of "hate symbols" a few years ago. (anything you read about the grifter that runs this con is probably true regarding that list, the pizza being withheld, etc.)
Why any of you are still giving these people money kind of puzzles me, but oh well. I'm not attending, but I might swing by and say hi at some point during the weekend. Ruckmoor Lounge is right down the street, although it's been a few years since I've been there. Let's go to the bar and hang out for a bit. I'll be in the folded boonie hat and green coat.
>>42387038
Nothing, fuck off, we're full.

>>42392896
I'm in the lobby for the next 10 to 15 minutes for anyone who wants to grab a drink. Holy shit this music is awful.

>>42392896
>Hey /mlp/. I was the fag that stole and read off the big list of "hate symbols" a few years ago. (anything you read about the grifter that runs this con is probably true regarding that list, the pizza being withheld, etc.)
Based as fuck, a true hero
>grifter
Really? I wasn't aware of that detail

>>42393148
I mean, you tell me if this show is a grift. Shitty panels, furries, constant "fundraising"... Where does the money go?

>>42393153
That explains it, yep. I may be retarded.

>>42392660
Crunch the Rockdog? Awesome!

>>42392662
Stop being gay.

>>42392896
Ended up talking to a bunch of rednecks who were tailgating out by their truck, probably the last five based dudes at the whole con. They remind me of myself 7 or 8 years ago, saying that they're going to turn the convention scene around, things will get better, etc. I feel bad but they're so young and that they didn't get to experience the convention age at its prime. They should have taken their ADHD meds tho, motherfuckers needed to calm the fuck down. God help them once they get old enough to drink.

>>42383616 (OP)
I'll be vending there, call me a faggot and I'll give you a discount.

>>42393564

I was there, the guy with the laptop who had the army stories and gun pics/vids, and smoking. Who were you?

>>42393900
Your fellow E4 mafia member that was so interested into vids of the guns you had. I had the folded boonie and green jacket.

does anyone know where to get the anonfilly hawaiian shirt someone was wearing in the lobby today

come to lobby faggots

>>42393927
They'll be on sale at marefair this year

>>42393984
who's selling it?

>>42393993
Moozua

5 am who up

6 am I survived the night shift please someone come to lobby I'm starting to see fake people and I refuse to sleep please

>>42394134
you still there?

>>42394248
sadly yes it's daylight out and the deafening darkness has since passed

almost 8 am and there's finally real people here again...... bronies real

>>42393900
Have you ever fucked a deer?

I've been coming for 11 years and the con has really gone to shit. I don't understand why though. Why would a fucking pony convention have so much drama and stupidity? I went to the vendor hall and it was maybe 40% G4. What happened???

>>42394675
my table is 100% g4 ponies. you should buy something

I didn’t even realize the con was happening until this thread. Looked at their social media and they barely post on Twitter anymore and not on Facebook in months. Where is their marketing? How are they getting people there who don’t already know about them? Do they even care? I know marketing isn’t everything but if you’re constantly having money problems wouldn’t you want to try to expand instead of getting the same attendees year after year and cross your fingers they tell their friends?

>>42394675
>>42394865
What’s the other 60%? G5? EqG? Furry/anime?

>>42395172
it's closer to like 90% pony and 10% other things desu
there are some other franchises but most of the things people are selling were pony

>>42395185
I have a strangest feeling that you have a very lose definition of 'pony' and are diversity equity and including g5 in that

>>42395578
>are diversity equity and including
???

>>42395578
Do you know there are cannon lesbians in g4? or are you just retarded

>>42395752
>canon
Sorry
>cannon

Post some pics you faggots. Need to see how deep the tRot truly runs.

>>42392660
So did you make the G1 panel? How was it?
And did anyone here attend the Berrow G4 panel? She’s also got one tomorrow on G5.

>>42396071
>a half dozen MLP items
>a couple of Bill Cipher stickers
>rest is furshit.
> “please donate to my troonout!”

Main stage panel

>>42396110
Shit, which panel was this?

>>42396126
Law and order: mlp revamped

>>42396126
That was when it was wrapping up; they had good turnout earlier. I thought it was crazy how many seats were empty at the fucking opening ceremonies though.

>>42396044
I actually ended up missing it

I hear spec got tazed by security.

>>42394675
have you just not been paying attention? At all?

>>42396220
spec got his dick sucked by darkly in front of her boyfriend

>>42396220
Who is Spec?

>>42396191
I slept through opening ceremonies

https://x.com/trotcon/status/1948905765286412402

trot gonna trot

>>42397005
Cutter is acting screwy and not letting me log in. What allegations are they not beating?

>>42397005
I can't see the goddamn context. Screencap?

>>42397054
>>42397095
Trot decided not to give anyone besides sponsors physical con books at the last second and silently removed it from their website, they're deleting anyone calling them out in their dicksword.

>>42397095
>twitter screencap posting

>>42397102
>>42397105
I cannot believe I agree with fucking Baja here
How has Trotcon fallen so far?

>>42397110
It's Trotcon, Anon. They have their reputation as the worst current con for a reason.

>>42396044
It was kinda sucky. Mostly a guy reading off the dialogue comics and going "wow isn't that cool"

Can we just give up on this shit fest? Why even go? There's Ciderfest and Whinny City at least they're mostly still ponycons, this is just furfaggotry now.

>>42397277
>Why even go?
No one is.

>>42397277
Whinny City was cancelled this year and I didn't have any other summer con. I don't mind the furries though, they're chill

>>42397359
Some faggots in the thread clearly are

>>42397498
well OP is obviously spec, so that adds up

>>42396220
Spec was raped by a pack of frisky youths in the sweltering summer of 25

>>42397559
no I was molested by 7 fat bastards. get it right

This con dead as hell lmfao

he cool tho

>>42397803
Ok, I'm going to bed. Hope to be up tomorrow in time for the top 100 songs of 2024

Morning. So what are people's plans for today?

>>42396071
Is the donation jar a joke, or is that actually to support his transition?
Also
>Luna fursuit comes with Paws (Hooves)
kek

>>42398273
The plushie panel this morning was chill fun. The next thing I'm looking forward to is the Top 100 Songs of 2024, about a half hour from now.

Bump.

>>42397498
I just wanna say, whoever is at Trot right now, I hope you are making a good time for yourself in spite of bs drama and furfaggotry. Hell, just say fuck it and make a pool swastika at this point.

At least the music looks decent.

At Trot right now.Too many furry's and Trans,the law and order panel got a bit political with a "no kings" minchin. At the opening ceremonies they said all the guests were American because canadians they were afraid to come.

Trot has been decent so far. Enjoying the vendors and the music the most. Almost anything Chrysalis related I have been buying

>>42399616
Agreed. As someone who hasn't been affected by the distilled hatred some anons have on /mlp/ for many years now, it's just nice to see people happy and to support pony artists with my money.

Yeah, to be honest I've mostly had a good time except those specific things I said above.As long as these stay minor I can stand/ignore them.

Cops are here with riot shields and guns out

>>42399819
What the fuck? What happened? I've been up in my hotel room for a few hours

>>42399828
No idea. Staff said it looks like something not con related

>>42399090
There's probably not enough people to make one.

>>42399819
>>42399828
>>42399833

I just watched then escourt someone out in handcuffs. There are like 6bor 7 of them

>>42399828
Someone tipped off the hotel thar Spec was here.

>>42399838
what the fuck holy shit
>>42399856
who?

>>42399856
no I'm not arrested lmfao I'm high playing games

Anyway come to swatcon

>>42399838
>>42399859
Feds swooped in to pick up the chuds who fell for the FBI honeypot on discord/telegram. They’ve been infiltrating for years and are finally taking action against the nazis with con staff collaborating in the arrests. Watch your ass at marefair ziggas

this seems pretty funny, i'm looking forward to the full story.

>>42399874
bruh

>>42400095
Chud here, I was jacking off in my room when they burst in. They took one look at me, dick out, apologized, then broke into the room next to me and arrested some nigger for crack.

Maybe President The Donald signed an executive order making furries illegal.

>>42383616 (OP)
Heard you got your badge pulled yet again, Spec. This is what, the seventh consecutive con that has pulled your badge?

>>42399520
Canadians being drama queens desu. They're all white so it's just retarded virtue signalling.

Tbh this con makes me miss Mare Fair. Can't wait for it.

Yeah, wish I could go. It's too far away from where I live and would be too expensive to go. You all have a good time though.

>>42396071
>using Jerma to support tranny shit
come on man, Jerma doesn't deserve that
