I wonder how bad Crowley's actor must be for that to be true when Mark Peligrino is running around saying real racism is against white people, gay people are gross and started his own political party because the republicans aren't conservative/capitalist enough, and he gets to keep coming back.

A lot of his tweets are deleted now idk what the gently caress he was on but some of them are still up like this one:

https://twitter.com/MarkRPellegrino/status/511248559984111616?s=19

He walked it back after a screenrant listicle of all things

https://twitter.com/MarkRPellegrino/status/909979799082352641?s=19

As for the rest of it, he founded the American Capitalist Party which should really tell you everything you need to know.. besides the fact he describes himself in that article as a leftist turned randian lmao

I trolled his twitter and he seems to be very pro female rights in Islam, He's atheist. Haven't seen any anti gay stuff. I could give a poo poo about him being a capitalist.

And from that same Twitter conversation, this tweet where he blames the problems of Saudi Arabia on Islam instead of the one family that has all the money and power in that country.

I've never read any reason for it either, but I follow enough of the actors/writers/producers on Twitter etc to see that he's essentially become persona non grata. Doesn't get mentioned, doesn't get invited to those dumb conventions (where one of the features actors played a character who was on the show for 2 episodes).

:shrug:

He was grand marshal of the Dragon Con 2019 parade.

Yeah I meant specially those Supernatural "conventions" with the $1000 tickets that charge hundreds additionally for photo ops, autographs, the actual convention sessions, etc. I find them to be pretty gross.

The admission to the Supernatural con in Chicago was $55.

That gets you in the door and access to the vendor room and iirc nothing else. Everything is an additional fee unless you buy one of the gold/silver/bronze tickets which start at $500+ depending on the city.

Edit: Can't even find the price list for the sessions because Creation Entertainment posts them 3 days before the conventions happen and then takes them down again. Shady af imho. You can get an idea of what everything else costs here: http://www.creationent.com/cal/supernatural_van.htm#sch There is nothing to actually do at these things besides the events they charge for.

Panels were walk, you only had to spend more if you wanted to meet the main cast.

I could give a poo poo about meeting the actors personally. It's almost always going to be a "Hi" *click* "Bye!" photo op. Maybe you get to stammer out a few words. For me the panels are where it's at, or the chance to score some rare old merch or legit good fanart--I don't collect a lot but if something is super cool I'll go for it. Also you get to met some likeminded fellow wierdos and see great costumes.

I'm a pretty closeted sci-fi geek IRL--I don't go around wearing t-shirts or expounding on trivia, so it's fun to be among "my people" for a day and relax and nerd the gently caress out. :cool:

I did make an exception and paid to meet Shatner--that was once in a lifetime.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
A buddy of mine is a very low level "personality" who will occasionally appear at cons. His contempt for his "fans" is barely eclipses by the money he makes doing it.

You would never know to see him in action.

I'd bet most mid to low level celebs hate doing cons. But you make so much money and most of it is in cash so you can't pass it up.
