We don’t know if we’re banned. This was just the police statement to the news outlets but neither my partner or friend have been contacted to confirm that. So until they confirm to us via email or a phone call then we’re not banned

Unfortunately, a lot of people are trying to defend him for exactly that, and trying to make out my partner provoked him, as if that is a good argument for BITING???????

120

I really really can’t get over it. I’ve never felt so disturbed and shaken after a convention

120

It’s very validating seeing other people just being like “wait what!?!?” when hearing about it. The event wants to victim blame but the rest of the world can see the situation for what it is: Negligence

We are okay, just figuring out the best next steps to sort this out 🙃

I wasn’t banned bro, and I never said I was.

Right? If he had said it with his full chest, my partner would never have bothered to talk to him. She only talked to him to ask him about his creative process, & he was getting frustrated bc she was questioning him about his inconsistencies. He was grifting, & my partner was simply pointing it out

Guys, I didn’t get banned from the venue, nor Oz comic con for that matter. All I am aware of is that the police made that statement to the journo but it is in fact misinformation.

Soooo let me get this straight. You didn’t even read the news story, where it says where it took place in Australia. If we’re talking about getting internet clout, you’re showing your whole ass by speaking on it w/o even knowing which country it took place in bro

I am staunchly anti-AI, especially AI “art” at conventions, but if they allow it then it is what it is. I would just prefer they say it with their full chest instead of trying to appease both sides by saying nothing so they can get money

1140

Especially as the use of AI continues to be a contentious issue.

1110

Explicitly say it is AI (this was the biggest issue w the vendor, as he was deceiving customers with a “process” video that didn’t actually show a finished product) so as to not be fraudulent. Customers deserve to make informed decisions. And if AI is to be banned, how will it be enforced?

190

But I think what this incident highlights is that conventions+markets need to have an internal conversation about their AI policy. Ozcc has been intentionally wishy-washy & without proper rules and regulations I think will cause future conflicts. If AI is allowed, make it a rule that you must

1120

This is a super busy con period for me so replies will be slow, I’m sorry! Ive already been horrible updating my bsky (managing multiple social media’s… 😮‍💨) But just wanna say thank you guys for your support. I’m personally fine so dont worry about me, just helping my partner figure out nxt steps

1220

And when he was screaming f*^k off at my partner, she thought the interaction was going to end there and she was going to just walk off. He’s the one who decided to jump up and run out of his booth to start assaulting people - THATS the issue, as he escalated it into physical violence.

020

Once again you are speaking out of your ass and talking like as if you’re an authority on the subject. This guy had gotten multiple reports throughout the weekend by attendees to con staff btw and guess what they did? Nothing. This wasn’t even the first time he was verbally abusive that weekend.

020

Yes BIT! It’s crazy, even days afterwards I cannot believe a man bit my friend!

210

And multiple witness statements who can corroborate.

0110

The internet is real interesting seeing all the people trying to defend a man who assaulted two women and bit one of them. Strangers of the internet are welcome to believe whatever fantastical story they want though, as it doesn’t really negate from the fact we have tons of photo + video evidence

It’s my friend who wishes to remain anonymous who is the victim of the bite. She had to go to hospital, was given antibiotics and had a blood test to check for disease. She is home and okay now.

090

You can believe what you want, and that im having a tantrum 🤷 a guy bit someone so it’s a pretty shocking turn of events

090

And as a furry, you clearly have a bias towards volunteers due to how furry cons are purely volunteer-run and a large community effort. Ozcc is not the same, it’s a corporate organization. People who were ex-volunteers of Ozcc have messaged me telling me volunteering horror stories

190

Bluesky isn’t a court of law where I must remain neutral and unemotional. If you think I’m not “holding it together” bc I’m making a few posts about the situation where I sound pissed off. That’s not the tone I spoke with to staff

180

You’re talking as if you were personally there, and as if you are familiar with the event organisers and it’s problematic history with other vendors who have been messaging my partner and I telling us their own experiences that corroborate with the treatment we were all shown throughout the event

180

Yeah we thought the same thing when Victoria did some digging & found their older stuff. Rly wish I knew what happened for a sudden shift in business + art cos there’s something else going on 🤔 But yes I agree. have they never worked hospitality/retail?! Ppl working in fast food get abused daily

170

I’m so proud of my partner for standing up against this despite the insanity

♱ 𝕸𝖎𝖘𝖘 V𝖎𝖈𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖎𝖆 ♱ @missvixtoria.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Yep that’s him 🤮 his whole booth was those AI dogs as keychains and totes and etc. General attendees were commenting “ew AI” at his booth the entire weekend, too. It wasn’t just us in the AA. It also wasn’t the first time he exploded with verbal abuse at people that weekend

Hey guys I’m the girl talking to the AI vendor in the video, I love seeing all of the jokes about it despite the horrifying reality of the situation. The line that set him off in the video was specifically “ I know you’re lying, Just Tell me the truth” after showing me a bizzare video.

This was just what the police said to the ABC, & the polices comment is probably just what Ozcc told them. So I take it with a grain of salt bc we haven’t actually been contacted by anyone to confirm anything. Also I’m not sure if it’s both of us or just her, but she did have to provide my table no.

And I also need everyone to know that everyone in the local Brisbane artist alley community are referring to this as “The Bite of ‘26” Stickers incoming

Sorry I haven’t posted about this earlier, it’s been an insane couple of days and I saw some posts on bsky popping up so I thought I should make some posts here about the Biting incident. I’ve been posting more on my Instagram about it all www.instagram.com/crowlees?stk...

As ok we can all be. But safe. Thank you ❤️

My friend had to go to hospital after the incident to get a blood test to check for diseases and she was stuck in the ER for 8 hours, while the man who bit her walked free. She also has to get another blood test in 6 and 12 months to ensure she hasn’t contracted a transmittable disease. Abhorrent

At every other workplace, if you fucking assault, let alone BITE, a customer then you’d be reprimanded severely? But not at ozcomiccon I guess lol! I don’t care if I’m banned bc bro I am NEVER fucking doing an Ozcc AGAIN

729420

Blatant disrespect and contempt and like I was an incessant little child having a tantrum when I was simply asking who to contact. These people should not run events as the level of negligence & unprofessionalism I witnessed is actual insanity

127116

I was not personally there as I was back at my table. I am so fucking disgusted by the way OZCC handled this situation (by which I mean, they fucking didn’t do shit). After pack up I went to the front desk to ask who to contact to file a formal complaint and I have never been talked down to w such

It’s because our comic con doesn’t give a single shit. My partner and friend were the ones assaulted and when I found out that man was back at his booth with a security guard AFTER HE HAD ASSAULTED MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND BIT SOMEONE I was shaking with rage. I was disgusted by the lack of care

040

Yep my partner was the one who confronted him while I was at my table. Our friend was the one who got bit. The organisers tried to blame my partner and friend for “provoking and harassing the poor guy”. Actual insanity
