Maybe Fatt is so fucking paranoid the Pests will be able to track his location at the con to fuck with him on a picture alone
I predict once it's done hell upload a fuck ton of photos of him beating brown people at the con afterwords
This is the most likely scenario.
He's maybe 10% paranoid Boomia is actually on premises looking for him, but 90% more concerned with getting banned again.
Rick was banned from Penguicon because his mere presence was deemed a danger to other attendees - Leslie's petition aside, they were a small outfit struggling to keep the lights on and couldn't afford the few people who actually pay money to go cancelling their tickets due to Pests lighting up their Twitter feeds. As indignant as Rick may have been at the time of the ban, it was a clear message to him that he needs to be discreet if he wants to attend these things going forward.
Without question Rick has already been in communication with WorldCon mgmt, as Leslie and many Pests contacted them demanding his ban. He must have promised he wouldn't be a source of commotion, which means he has to go dark on social media or risk the Pests shitting up every thread he starts. It actually seems to be working, as the trolling campaign has gained no traction without Rick correcting the record every five seconds. And, as we all know, if the target doesn't engage, the campaign dies on its own.
2024 has been a year of growth for the Hollerin' Hog of Ol' Milwaukee. He's finally changed his phone number after 6 years and is starting to migrate his horseshit to BlueSky, where most Pests can't be bothered to make new accounts with their paper-thin ban standards. Now he's behaving himself during ConSeason, traditionally the March Madness of Owen's Forums.
This is all well and good. But we're two weeks away from the MPD suit being tossed in the shitter and the "swattings" have conveniently started again. With this
@Lord Fatrick conspiracy coming to light, one must wonder if he's learned anything at all.
