v off topic but what is up with project moon lately ive been vaguely aware of workplace stuff happened but dunno much

id ask u if ur ok w/ explaining it to me but if u cant dw bout it

hope u have a nice day btw

I don't mind but be aware I'm not fluent In korean nor abut the social climate there 😔 and thank you!

I'm gonna recall what I know so it's going to be long, but long story short, Kim Jihoon (Project Moon's CEO) fired the CG artist vellmori immediately after some guys from korea's equivalent of 4chan (DCInside) accused her of being a feminist.

This isn't the first time something like this happened in the korean gaming industry, but this particular event kind of uncovered a whole lot of issues in other things, from Project Moon's shortcomings to as far as the korean gaming industry itself.

I don't know where to start, but the whole thing happened because a beach mini-event featured one of the female character in a full wetsuit and not in a bikini, nevermind that Project Moon is known for rarely, if ever feature fanservice. A group of people from DCInside directed their outrage to the main art director and artist of said character's skin, but once they found out that the artist is a man, they pivoted to the CG artist, despite the fact she's not responsible any character design in the game.

DCInside started to give Limbus Company a negative review on all platforms it was on for it's "feminist agenda" demanding for vellmori to be fired, and when PM took too long with complying with their demand, ten people took it to themselves and stormed Project Moon's office. The situation seemed dire, we tried supporting Project Moon because we thought they weren't the type of company who would side with people like them.

PM responded by posting an announcement (only in korean at the time to try to keep the international fanbase in the dark) that vellmori was to be dismissed from her position for "causing controversy"

Said controversy is that DCinside dug a deleted post vellmori retweeted when she was a teen speaking out against a spycam epidemic in women's bathroom. That was five years ago and long deleted, but apparently it was still a valid reason to dismiss her from the company.

Vellmori mentioned in a korean newspaper that Kim Jihoon fired her over the phone at midnight when he was still in Japan in preparation for a game expo. This was before Project Moon released any follow-up statement after the first one.

Project Moon then released another statement that vellmori was merely dismissed, but not fired, and that they aren't disclosing anything more to protect her. They also threatened to sue everyone who spread misinformation, which is hard to define since PM wasn't clearing up anything.

During this many former employees came forward about the poor management they experienced and the lack of employee protection in PM. The visual artist of Leviathan, the prologue comic/novel for Limbus Company mentioned that she was forced within a tight schedule (a chapter every week) without room to make buffer pages in her schedule. When she tried to negotiate for a scheduling change, Kim Jihoon instead cut her contract short.

The english translator for both Limbus Company and it's twitter announcements, in a separate incident, was harassed and cyberstalked on social media, yet Project Moon did nothing to defend him. Kim Jihoon has proven before that he could stand up for his employees, like he did with PM's cafe when customers harassed the staffs. Granted, the translator said that he doesn't want anyone to criticize Project Moon for not defending him, but his letter is still depressing to read, especially when he revealed he had to work on chapter 3.5 overnight while his family member was diagnosed with cancer.

MIMI, the artist for Lobotomy Corporation's spinoff comic Wonderlab, shortly took down the comic due to dissatisfaction with the company.

A youth union was created in response to the controversy, demanding a clear announcement over vellmori's employment status and to compensate her.

PM responded that yes, vellmori has been fired, and claims that she wishes her privacy to be protected to avoid revealing anything further about her dismissal, even though she had already talked to a newspaper about it.

And until this day Project Moon went on a crusade against everyone who directly speak against their decision, from suing peaceful truck protestors and unions, and yet they barely addressed the incels from DCInside who started this all in the first place. The infamy of this incident also brought attention to the rampant misogyny in South Korea, especially in the gaming industry.

Honestly this isn't the first time they folded from the slightest bit of pressure, but the first time it was because a review bomb on Library of Ruina because some blokes didn't like the original ending. I don't know. I feel like they're going to foster a fanbase that thinks they can get whatever they want if they cause a big enough ruckus when things don't go their way. I don't want to be part of that so I've been steering away from the fanbase even if I'm still fond of PM's stories.

Sorry this got long and I don't have complete sources, most of this is what I recall from witnessing it firsthand and I really don't feel like looking for Xitter posts 😭 this post is more complete if you'd like to read more.

#asks #Anonymous #why do i remember all this and not what i had for breakfast. something is wrong with me #anyway. uh. yeah. i hope this helps anon 😭

Staryu from Pokemon / Cosplayer: @taracosm / Photo: @phen.stephen

Everyone was amused and pretty much caught off guard when they saw my cosplay, a couple of people who were huge fans of Staryu freaked out when they saw me and stated Staryu is rarely represented. I was so happy to meet a little Ash cosplayer who was more than happy to take photos with me and meet other con-goers who requested the war-cry. It was just really fun hopping into the star stance and doing cartwheels.

. Like most people from my generation, I grew up watching Pokemon and was always amused with Staryu and Starmie’s cries, so about a year ago I was watching some Pokemon episodes that featured Staryu and it just popped in my head to cosplay a giant Staryu running around shouting its catchphrase “Heyah!” I felt it was time to do a completely ridiculous and silly cosplay, so I made Staryu a priority, plus Long Beach Comic Expo is right by the ocean and would make for some awesome shots. . I found a star poncho tutorial online and modified it to fit my idea, then bought several yards of felt for the actual body of the star and added Velcro on the lower half so it would be easy to get in and out of. Then made the jewel part of the body with red satin fabric and lastly, added some painted detail for the shadows and shine. Accessorized with sunglasses and sneakers for some extra attitude! .

Long Beach Comic Con 2018 had a major issue with disability access that they have refused to publicly acknowledge, apologize for, or commit to addressing for their 2019 shows.

As some of you know, I am disabled - I have fibromyalgia and am dependent on a cane when attending cons. At Long Beach Comic Con 2018 last year, convention staff made several decisions that made it very difficult for disabled attendees like myself to get around.

Probably the biggest choice they made was to actively close off one of the main convention center elevators, taping over the buttons and actively roping off the door. The elevator was functional - neither con staff nor security could explain why it had been closed. Con staff blamed the Long Beach Convention Center staff for the decision, while the convention center told me that it was a decision Long Beach Comic Con had made.

They also made people exit the con by going down one flight of stairs, through the panel hall rooms, and up another flight of stairs, as opposed to simply walking out a door that was right there leading out onto the street. @mandyquesadilla had to argue with a member of staff in order to get me out of the convention center without making me struggle with two flights of stairs.

This is particularly hilarious because I was there to participate in a panel on invisible illness and disability - a panel that the target audience couldn’t reach because the main elevator had been shut down.

When I posted about this publicly, both on Twitter and on Facebook, I was contacted via Facebook by Martha Donato - President of MAD Event Management who handle both Long Beach Comic Con and Long Beach Comic Expo. I got what appeared to be a boilerplate apology designed to placate me and make me feel better. When I asked whether a public apology would be offered to the hundreds of disabled attendees who attended the con and had issues getting in and out of the event, and whether the con would be making a public commitment to improved disabled access to their events, I got no response. I know the message was seen. But they chose to ignore my questions, and they’ve ignored me every time since that I’ve reached out.

(For those wondering: I did file an ADA complaint, but I got a letter back from the DoJ telling me that they can’t investigate every complaint because they don’t have the resources, and they wouldn’t be looking into this one.)

Over the weekend I noticed that the Long Beach Comic Con Twitter account had changed to promote Long Beach Comic Expo, but rather than just change the name they also changed the handle - @LBComicCon had become @LBComicExpo. I wondered whether they’d set up a placeholder account to preserve the old name for when they want to start promoting Long Beach Comic Con again.

They hadn’t. So, naturally, I snapped it up. Mandy noticed they’d done the same with their Instagram account, so we snagged that one too.

We’re using the accounts to call attention to Long Beach Comic Con’s active disinterest in serving their disabled attendees. We’re calling on Long Beach Comic Con, Long Beach Comic Expo, and MAD Event Management to publicly commit to improved disability access. Once they do that, we will happily hand over the keys to these accounts.

Their response to discovering these accounts exist was to block us on social media.

We will continue to use the @LBComicCon Twitter and @longbeachcomiccon Instagram to highlight their poor treatment of disabled attendees, as well as accessibility issues at other cons, until they are willing to commit to improvements.
