Kadabracon Reviews

Don t waste your time or money here

Venue was packed to the brim with vendors that had no say where their booths went Booths also blocked the fire and emergency exits The lights were dimmed making it hard for everyone to see causing everyone to bump into things people The restroom ran out of toilet paper and soap The staff was overly rude to guests attendees celebrities No bag checks and refused to let people who needed medication take it Not to mention they denied someone serious medical attention Save yourself your money and time and avoid this convention

Kadabracon Discriminated Against A Trans Man

A trans man was discriminated against by a kadabracon employee while abiding by Texas law regarding bathrooms Under Texas law people must use the bathroom that aligns with their birth sex which this man was doing by being in the women s bathroom The man was not causing a scene but instead sitting and decompressing with several other people on the benches in the bathroom The employee acting on complaints of a man in the women s restroom committed an act of gross discrimination leaving the man with no option but to leave the only bathroom in the venue he had legal right to use Remember under Texas law if he were to use the men s restroom he would have been vulnerable to further discrimination arrest or assault Kadabracon has demonstrated that they hold no space for trans people that they will force them to violate state law or else to leave and that they wish to exclude trans people from their events by giving them no safe place to relieve themselves or to simply exist in view of others It is a violation of human dignity and human rights Where was he supposed to go when he needed to use the bathroom at the event he paid to attend To the men s room where he would be in violation of the law Or the women s room where he was just forced to leave even though he is in compliance with the law Remember that he was just sitting and talking with friends about anime for what reason should he be asked to leave Where else could he have gone to use the bathroom for any purpose Was he supposed to leave the venue and come back Why Simply on the basis of him being trans Then that is discriminatory on the part of Kadabracon and should be punished

Catastrophecon

Absolutely awful con from overcrowding to poor handling of emergencies to countless people being discriminated against and made to feel unsafe Con staff didn t let my friend bring his seizure medicine into the after party causing an almost five minute delay in supplying it when he DID have a seizure And no accountability has been taken by the convention Unprofessional and untrustworthy

Discrimination is not okay

Discrimination is not okay and you ve done nothing short of that

Transphobia

This convention has been openly transphobic and is denying people access to bathrooms

Would not recommend this con

Would not recommend this con the venue was small so there was overcrowding there was also only one set of bathrooms and no family bathrooms which is inconvenient They also had some voice actors set up by or in front of exits which is very unsafe if an emergency were to happen I ve also been reading some other reviews about them discriminating against a transgender person which is never okay This con was not safe and not done properly personally I m not wasting money on this con again

Medical negligence

As a guest and a cosplayer the neglect of medical needs was astonishing As a person with medical disabilities autism ontop of a seizure disorder it was horrifying to know that bags wete never checked furing the main con event anyone could of brought amytbing in that could of dangered another human being but when the rave came around bags all togetehr were denied entry not even bags rhat were for medical purposes which mine were not only had i have to change out of a costume that had actuve wires it was lined with leds and when sweating its not good but to have my meds with me when a certan time came aroudn for me to take them i was denied Changing in the back kf my feiends mothers car o top of having to leave my medications outside in the parking lot was unsettling to me amd made me highly stressed I told them multiple times i needed them but they refused Later on in the rave me and a few friends and some other atendees went to relax in the bathroom due to anxiety i dont remeber much of what happened but i did end up havung a severe seizure that lasted mote then 5 minutes ontop of a relapse i was supposed to have my medicne on me to take but they refused to let me have it Only then in the middle of my seizure they allowed a friend of mine to bring my bag in It was so bad i had to be taken out of the venue via stretcher and taken to the hospital The owner just stood there while i had my seizure and said she depsite me being a trans male and is aware shoudl t be here if she has epilepsy keep in mind i dont have epilepsy theres different types of seizures Proceed to dismiss my medical emergency the following day i amde sure to take my medicine and only planned tk attendd the last day for a few hours because i wasnt feeling th4 best but didnt want to miss the last day im stubborn he ran into me and all he had to say was glad to see your back and didnt run away from the con at the time i didnt think much of it but not once did he asl if i was okay or how im feeling be caref more about hoany people attended isntead of the well-being of his attendees

Why I Don t Recommend KadabraCon

About KadabraCon - yep worst convention ever I guess I ll also put in my 2 cents For those who don t know I am the Anime Gone Metal dude The guitar shredder guy of countless comic cons and Anime conventions etc And I am a professional musician I was supposed to perform a concert at this convention but it didn t happen Lack of communication honesty and even professionalism I was told I had a hotel reserved that was a lie Wouldn t even give me a reservation number or confirmation number so I sure as heck knew I wasn t even going to get paid a performance commission either I tried calling and texting nothing I knew right then and there it would ve been a bad idea to go not to mention how badly I already got screwed over preparing for this I sincerely would ve just been content having my hotel covered since it s a new convention but not even that or the decency to communicate the truth with me I took off 3 days of work I m a guitar teacher as well by the way just to take part in what I thought would ve been a great and fun event As a result I lost a lot of money from not teaching and that can t be recovered So to fellow musicians and professional performers if you value your work and don t want to get screwed over don t try to book with this convention

If it s not a safe place for EVERYONE

If it s not a safe place for EVERYONE is not a safe place at all If they don t respect trans people they really deserve your money You really gonna finance this project I don t think so
