[07/03/20-07/04/20] FunimationCon 2020 - Virtual Convention, e-costhots included

[5t3n0g0ph3r]

Seems run of the mill, albeit through a stream. I didn't detect much connection issues, though I watched in chunks of 5 minutes or so since I was at work. I was mostly looking at chat to see if anyone would sperg out.

I saw some people complain about connection issues, so it wasn't just me.
Must have been a small percentage.
I am curious about the numbers:
How many people registered for "badges" (dumb gimmick, really)?
How many viewers per stream?
How many visitations to the site?
It would help quantify if this "virtual convention" was a success or not.

I'm going to refuse to believe any of their numbers until we can cross reference other cons that have chosen to run online this year. I think SDCC is the highest profile to announce an online event and it would be no contest to compare.

I think as the year goes on we may see more events announce online cons.

Tbh as much as I'd like to be optimistic I think we're in this shit until the end of the year.

Day 2 should be well underway.

Who has a convention during 4th of July? I may be a weeb, but I'd much rather be out at a BBQ than watch this bs

BBQ con?

I'd rather pay and register a stream that has me watching dog shit dry up in the sun before attending anything related to Funimation.

And then the Plot Twist comes in & turns out it's just AWL live-streaming from her bathroom.

So, there was a feature that I thought was weird.
The chat was separated into the three categories:
Chat, Q&A, and Discord.
Why Funimation decided to give Discord users their own category is beyond me.

Anyways, I hope some numbers are put out so we can have something quantifiable.

There's a Discord?

Is it free? Cause if it is, then does Funi realize the gay-ops they're setting themselves for?

I think it was a Discord server for FunimationCon only.
I never accessed it, so I have no idea if it even is still accessible.

There's an official Funimation server. I poked my head in and saw that they opened a specific channel just for the con, so it was probably that.

I would think they would try and contain this so NO one could ask ask a question or bring up there something about their "major successes" of late.

How many fake promises do they feed their appointed tard wranglers?
