Last year, he was on a panel with a woman named Shannon Hale and afterward allegedly gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. This time, they have a repeat guest named Richard Paul Evans, author of the Christmas Box. This set a precedent for the way social justice crazies go after conventions to try to force them into submission.įast forward to FanX. Odysse圜on even banned him from attending just to appease her. He was guilty of the accusation, and this is how the SJW Inquisition rolls. It didn’t stop Tor from firing him, nor every “respectable” author in the community from dog piling on him at the time. Just his being there, not that he did anything was something that triggered her to the point of blowing up the convention. But this is 2018.įlashback to last year, Odysse圜on had SJW Monica Valentinelli who flaked as guest of honor of a convention because she learned that a man was going to be there who had been falsely accused of sexual harassment at WisCon years prior, and cleared of the charges. So what happened at FanX? It must be very serious for a bunch of well respected authors to write a letter threatening to remove themselves from a convention, one would think. My team and I have been evaluating whether or not this is a position we can still take-and it will greatly depend on how FanX responds to this letter in the next few weeks. He’s not sure he’s going to attend anymore, after co-signing a letter with several other authors who are up in arms, as he stated on his blog:įor now, I am still scheduled to appear at FanX this fall. Well, maybe not Brandon Sanderson this year. This is about FanX Con in Utah, a geek media convention with high profile celebrities from David Tennant to Brandon Sanderson. Big celebrities jump on the train, condemning anyone remotely involved.
The media dials in on it like white on rice, escalating the sound of the severity with each article even though they’re only sourcing themselves.
