Bass_X0 05/08/18 12:34:06 PM #1:	Thoughts? Hey everyone I was hoping for a bit of advice. I live in Scotland and honestly didn't think I'd have to worry about stuff like this until recently. On Friday my partner and I are going to a Pokemon TCG event. We've just found out the person organising it is a Trump supporter we've been avoiding since we found out the news. My partner is trans, and we can't be in the company of someone like that, because eventhough he doesn't know it he hates my partner. Do we message the venue and tell them about him? Or will this make things more difficult since we've pre registered? It's getting harder and harder to play the Pokemon TCG where we live because we're finding out a bunch of people are fascists. Of course, my partner has to be so careful around anyone because she's trans, being a Trump supporter is a declaration of hate --- "Well, it's not a bad game.

Whats wrong with making a spectacle? Theyre saying they dont like this person and heres why. Sounds like theyre using their (small) platform as best they can Because making a spectacle is self-serving attention-seeking. What is messaging the venue owner going to do but cause fruitless drama? Youre looking at it through a pretty cynical lens. Its the same as being conscious of where you spend your money: if companies know youre not buying their product because they hardbor beliefs, practices, or relationships you find problematic, then theyre forced to face it and address it, either by changing their practice or doing nothing. The same principle applies here: contact a venue to inform them that youre dissatisfied with their choice to associate with a host. If just two people do it, probably nothing happens, but if multiple people do it, it can make a difference, or at least force the owners to take a position. Its advocacy at its most grassroots level. I take no issue. <cite>BloodyNate posted [p:901001808] in Trans coup...

They're probably just looking for other peoples' input But what is people's input going to accomplish? It's not like they adding messages to the FB for Pokemon opinions or things related to the event itself. The intent seems to be to stir the pot because they don't like Trump and want affirmation about their assumptions and generalizations of the event organizer because he voted for Trump. It could be easily left alone, for the sake of the enjoyment of all the other participants of the event who aren't making it a political cluster. --- I think I need a drink.
