FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention


     As of May 21st when this was written, there is another fan run convention that is under attack by elitist pig professional writers.  This is the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.  Basically, what happened was that an allegedly bestselling author named Shannon Hale made allegations about sexual harassment that a friend of hers, who has gone unnamed, supposedly experienced at last year’s convention.  Evidently, what happened was that a local writer Richard Paul Evans hugged the female in question, thinking that it’s a friendly gesture as any reasonable person would.

     However, Shannon Hale is not a reasonable person.  She is a professional writer who is always out for maximum publicity even if she comes across as an absolute jackass in the course of doing so.  The wild allegations of so-called sexual harassment that she has made after her friend was hugged have won her tremendous publicity at the expense of what is generally regarded as being one of the very best fan-run comics conventions around. 

     Hale has undertaken this course of action despite the fact that her friend went through the official procedures for handling matters such as this.  The convention has two women in charge of handling sexual harassment allegations.  They investigated the allegations and concluded that Hale’s friend was wrong, no sexual harassment took place.  Of course to an extremist like Hale, that was not good enough so she went public with her allegations.
