Of course the one year I'm gonna arrive later Thursday is the year they make Thursday close to a full day of programming. Oh, well. Gonna be doing Touhou cos so say hi.

Wtf is going on with the fashion shit at this con? There's been very little social media content on it and I'm just confused. I heard the fashion department had a major turnover in leadership, anyone got milk?

I don't know. I didn't apply to model because there seemed to be just... nothing... I wonder if it'll be a situation like past years where they don't announce most of the brands until the week before but it still seems suspiciously quiet.

Getting more and more burnt out by tekko. still find myself going every year

>>10972567
The head stepped down a few years ago as far as I remember. There was some drama with her, and she wasn't even allowed to model last year due to this. I'm not sure who the new head is.
But Tekko isn't amazing as a fashion con. The swap is okay, but it's always announced late and you have nasty people touching your brand and complaining about sizing. I might be in the minority but I never gaf about brand guests or modeling, either.

I'M READY TO KILL MYSELF AND DIE YINZ

Tekko has such a heavy focus on Lolita and fashion that it doesn't even feel like an anime convention.
>Um actually it is run by the Pittsburgh Japanese culture society and
I would kill for Pittsburgh to have an actual anime convention to give competition.

Meiling

Former Tekko staff here. I was on leadership level, overseeing my own department, etc. Ask me anything about this shitshow of a convention and the morons who run it.

>>10973543
Who you cosplaying?

>>10973543
what department were you? who are the morons causing the most issues and why

>>10973559
I will not say what department I am currently in, but I have overseen multiple. The biggest issues are the President and the Sales Director. They are husband and wife and create a ton of nepotism issues. The Sales Director, in particular, is also racist and does raceplay porn. They also micromanage everyone in leadership, which defeats the purpose of having leadership. They make working for Tekko miserable. And yes, contrary to what they love to push, it is WORK to be at Tekko, not just volunteering. Hypocritical.

>>10973648
Care to elaborate? Got that certain vibe from the President & the Sales Director, especially her bffs, but no tangible evidence.

>>10973672
They are not her bffs. They are poly and she/him are most likely sleeping with them. Those two sleep with a ton of different people involved with Tekko leadership which continues to create nepotism issues. It's a big, strange, questionable web of sleeping with people. I believe Mr. President and Sales lady sleep with the Vendor lady and the Merch lady. It's a big weird goonfest.

>>10973648
the racist claim sounds like just another ypipo weeb kink tho

>>10973648

I know leadership has changed over the past few years. Are you referring to O and V specifically?

>>10973690
Huh? No. They run Guest Relations. No, I'm referring to J and K. O and V are cool, at least to me. I haven't had issues with O and V personally. Has there been issues with them?

>>10973687
No, the Sales Director does actual raceplay/Queen of Spades porn. I've seen her X account. Queen of Spades porn is very racist.
