Sorry, but anyone threatening physical violence towards the individual if they see him at any event, is rather feeble-minded.

Yes, he’s done the community great harm, so don’t buy his books, become a Patreon supporter of his channel, watch and like his videos, that’s your perogative, let him wither on the vine if you wish, show your support for more deserving, fledgling channels and writers in thier infancy.

But making threats to smash people’s faces in?

Come on, the community is better than that, is it not?

Do people really want police time wasted yet again thanks to 1 individual in the community?

Anyone making such threats, is simply playing into his hands and doing the community itself an injustice.

He either needs to go see a shrink or he needs to do something so bad that it gets so much coverage that everyone will know who he is. There can’t be too many avenues for him to get gigs in the retro world these days.

OK, so who exactly has been asked to exhibit and declined because of the individual in question?

It’d give a greater understanding over what the actual event is trying to be, to know who they’ve invited.

Of the ones i have been too in the past..

The Twin Peaks one, was just sooo random, but even then, had no Retro or Modern Gaming section

The big, London Comic Con events had seperate gaming arena’s, mostly modern stuff, but a Retro Section tucked away, but these areas weren’t the main focus, just places you visited, whilst waiting for your photo session with the TV and Movie celbs, later in the day.

You’d spent the morning queuing to get stuff signed, then found yourself with a lot of downtime and if listening to Q+A sessions weren’t your thing, you wandered down to the gaming section to kill some time.

With these Luton thing, given the small size of the venue?

It’s in real danger of falling between the proverbial stools.

Is it a venue to promote (local??) Comic artists and folks to try their hand at Cosplay?

If so, why annouce a niche YT channel host as your first headliner??

There’s an element of crossover between gaming and cosplay, but not so much retro-gaming.

Every book he writes is a comic, well comical.

This con is turning into a massive dumpster fire. Currently the main attraction is a you-tuber with under 10k subs who writes are self publishes poorly received books that have fake reviews online. Wow sounds amazing. At this rate it will be an empty hall with him and his stand of books

At this point his books are probably self-printed and stapled together.

Yet despite it all, the Wotsit will still have the temerity to turn up to Luton and peddle his awful books etc being fully aware of the contempt he breeds. The ginger mutant really doesn’t give a shit!

I have a Brother scan n cut machine, can make up a few t-shirts for those turning up. “The Atari Jaguar is crap” would certainly trigger him.

Too far away for me. I’m going to the Zzap live thing though.

Going to be one of the few events where the stall holders get paid to be there.

It’s a shame for the people who he duped.
