Fascism has no place in the game community and I won't be attending or supporting any of these cons unless they sever ties with Reedpop
Sorry, Pixar, we already have an animated film about an Italian black cat who is rejected by everyone. It’s a short, it’s inside Allegro Non Troppo, and TW: it will rip your heart into shreds. Oh, and it’s actually hand-animated.
