I’m pretty sure that the rumors go back to this Tumblr post, which is based on this one (both links questionable).

@Some Jerk  
How come the great and powerful Equestrium didn’t know about this? I’m a sadist!

It was minors that attended the BDSM 101 panel which included live demonstrations.

@Dirty Bit  
Of cousre you find this pic insulting.  
If a hoster offers you rotten caviar as a compenstation for supporting them, you must be a polite guest, thank him, take his gift and eat as if it was delicious. Any another behaviour is rude and insult. That’s how ra.. i mean polite culture works.  

@Jarkes
 
I honestly did not mean for that XD

“A lot of balls to con so many supporters”

@Jarkes
 
I guess so. Those guys had a lot of balls to con so many supporters…

@Dirty Bit
 
Yeah, but it’s a deserved insult.

@Otterhand
 
Meh, a bit of a grey area. As bad as the con was, I find that this picture was a bit of an insult (as funny as it is, I cannot deny)
 
Never thought I’d even hear about such a bombshell of a convention…

@Itsthinking  
The sad part is, you can get a really fucking nice ball pit for a fraction of that price.

@Jarkes  
Daily Dot in this caes is reiterating what nearly every other report on the con has said. I don’t think DD is trying to twist the truth, beyond the “point and look” aspect everyone else is doing too.

@Olpert  
Read about that. I’m in awe at how bad the whole thing was.

@RIG  
Dude, tumblr fucked themselves over with Dashcon. Between that and the 4chan “raids”, they have nothing.

I think the most incredible part about the con apart from the bullshit that they pulled with the bands and the ball pit is the panels.  
I feel the panels havent been given justice. Do you know how they decided who could host a panel, and the content?  
The different fandoms that comprised the con(superwholock and the like) were organized into comittees, and they had pretty much complete freedom in what they wanted to do. And… You got into those commitees, in a leading position, by just asking. No Qualifiations needed. They literally gave complete freedom to everyone on tumblr that just asked.

wow kind of sad to hear about another con going bad but I can’t help but like these ball pits images am I a bad person?

@Jarkes  
SJWs have long used it as a soapbox to give an air of legitimacy.

@Masem
 
Come on, now. Haven’t we established by now that Daily Dot doesn’t know what it’s talking about with these things (See: EFNW two years ago and this year’s BABScon)?

@Masem  
You see what this was planned to be? It’s terrible.

@Some Jerk  
I have read (to the Con’s favor) that they had paid Night Vale the bulk of the performance but the rest of the funds were in a PayPal account and while they offered to run over to cash the money into something more tangible (eg a cashier’s check), Night Vale refused.
 
But there is a ‘‘lot’’ of iffy things going on here. Unlike LPU, where the finger of blame can go squarely on those that planned this, there’s a lot of weird rumblings between the con, the hotel, the guests, etc. that this doesn’t sound like a simple “oops, we overshot” that LPU ended up being. Not that there’s problems with the con planners, but there’s enough to make me question if they weren’t the only agency at fault here.

@Itsthinking  
There are even rumors that members who went in the ball pit got some sort of a genital disease from the ball pit, due to someone pissing on it.
 
This rumor is unconfirmed, but I don’t even want to know, quite frankly.

@Masem  
That was soon pissed in and then popped.
 
17k dollars!

@RIG  
Even most tumblr users know this was a fucked up situation.
