Just officially unsubscribed from the #vidcon newsletter. I have some decent memories of the con, but it's just been useless and not worth the expenditure for me for the most part, especially as they cater more and more to "capitalism friendly" creators only while ones like me will forever be ignored.
I'm also just not young anymore, and don't have an interest in influencer-y type content or appealing to the "screaming jump cut" crowd. Nor will I ever make it to the "glitterati influencer elite" class because my content will never be promoted by the mainstream platforms like theirs is so I can never get "famous" (nor would I necessarily want to, if it means stymieing me from discussing the important political topics I want to discuss). So the only Vidcon content available to me is that directed towards children, which sorry, I just don't give a shit about waiting in line for over an hour in the exhibit hall so I can buy $40 aphmau plushies.
Unfortunately there aren't really any more adult-based (not sex, just not meant-for-children) #contentCreator conventions that don't cost, like, $700+ for a ticket (that are still oriented towards capitalism-friendly creators, even then) so I probably won't ever be able to meet other content creators face to face again. But at least this means not having to stress about finding a hotel, dog sitter, etc. every year (not to mention how to justify the expense).
I'll just keep screaming at the patriarchy in my little corner of the decentralized internet where no one (okay, like, ten people) can find it, and hope that I can galvanize at least those ten people to acknowledge and speak out about the same important issues, including but not limited to topless gender equality 🤷♀️

⏳ Eleven years ago, Past Liam and Jade embark on a journey towards a local park for a marshmallow picnic, and reflect on his trip to VidCon the year prior. 🧺

I've got 11 months (assuming the world doesn't end before the next #vidcon ) to try to find someone to go with that
1. isn't going to be creepy about the fact that I'm a topfree equality activist
2. doesn't freak out in crowds
3. gets up earlier than 3pm usually
4. has the free time to go down to Anaheim with me for a week in June
5. has at least some experience holding a camera without it looking like shitI only have two friends that are even remotely close to meeting this criteria...one I met at previous Vidcons and she'd probably be great at all of it, except that she's a talent manager so she's always busy running around networking and going to panels more aligned with her interests, and the other friend...doesn't do well with crowds, and struggles to maintain anything close to a "normal person" sleep schedule, instead usually waking up at 3pm or later and going to bed around 7 in the morning.... 🙃

Ugh... I'm trying to write a script for my #vidcon 2025 recap and review, but I'm really struggling to come up with pros to balance out all the cons 😭

Mashable: Haliey Welch recorded ‘Talk Tuah’ in front of a live audience at VidCon. It got messy.. “Haliey Welch, better known as ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, continues to be followed by controversy at VidCon 2025. During a live recording of her podcast Talk Tuah Thursday night, which she co-hosts with her friend Chelsea Bradford, Welch and guest Whitney Cummings quickly lost the attention of the crowd.”

Freshly showered... Gonna fit in a Beat Saber workout while I wait for a shed-building kit to be delivered, then stream while I hand-make branded top free equality shirts to wear to #vidcon at https://www.joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics 😁

Never thought I'd live to see the day that something as "family friendly" oriented as the #vidcon newsletter would be positively promoting something like a rival site to something like the infamous #Onlyfans . Normalizing #sexWork has come a long way! (I know vidcon would never allow someone as "patriarchy unfriendly" as an anti-gender-specific-censorship progressive political commentator like me participate in a panel though, despite my twenty years of experience as a #contentCreator .)

Brainstorming a script for a "Topless Topics FAQ" video that I can hopefully get filmed, edited and uploaded in time for #Vidcon next week. I'll try to make it more accessible than angry, even though hearing the same bullshit over and over does wear a feminist activist down (:

Just adding to the ten or so lifetime results for #vidcon in a feeble attempt at finding anyone else who might be going to ask if y'all want to meet up while there...

Still giving me emotional backlash to remember that we had JUST found out about my dad's cancer right before last year's #Vidcon, then after a hellish summer of being his all-hands caretaker, he was dead by November.

Logged into #vidcon in time to schedule meet-and-greets for #DanielThrasher and Aphmau (for the kids, idc myself) ✊ We only get two chances each, and I'm saving my last slot for #GraceHelbig (since we have so much in common) 🤞 I would have liked to meet #HankGreen as well so we could reminisce about OldTube and talk about cancer (given we both have experience with it...) but alas. Maybe I'll be able to somehow schmooze into getting a "Creator Pass" like I did in 2022, but I doubt it, since Vidcon has made getting into the hotel impossible even for high profile Influencers™️ unless they had Industry passes or invite-only Special Guest 😩
(I also hate that FanExpo, the new owners of Vidcon, made the M&Gs a "first come first serve" scramble...continuing the lottery system would have been a lot more fair, except they either needed to be stricter about staying within time limits (I gave up on both MamaTot and Chad Chad last year even though I "won" a lottery spot because the sessions ended without me ever getting up to the front, because the creators are too nice and would spend way too long with each person) or just let fewer people "win" so the lines weren't 200+ people long.
At least it's not the "camp out overnight" model like San Diego Comic Con...which sorry, there is not a celebrity in the world that I would be willing to sleep on cement overnight just in the hopes of getting an autograph, lulz.
(What's also funny is that I bought creator badges for my husband, SIL, and her partner so they can help me chaperone the kids, but I didn't bother signing them up for M&Gs because there are no featured creators they watch/care about, lol) (well...Matthew also watches Daniel Thrasher, but he doesn't care about meeting creators. He'd rather just play dumb games on his phone 😏)
