It’s people like you that stop others who climbed out of dangerous propaganda from righting their wrongs. Show proof of anyone being paid to tweet, or stfu.

Hi, Dee again.

I just want to clarify something for you. I've mentioned it on Twitter and know you monitor the account, but you may have missed it.

I'm the one who initially spotted the MtG 'buttcrack' guy and retweeted it.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with you, though. I went to all manner of cons (sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, etc.) from the early 80s through the 90s, with a few since. The time I spent attending, it was very much a 'boys club' for a variety of reasons that made the events somewhat (if not aggressively) unwelcoming to women (and a variety of other marginalized folks).

The dude in question isn't fetishizing people for pornographic reasons, he was highlighting one of the elements of that uncomfortable environment at that time. (In this case, not taking care of one's hygiene and wardrobe and thus exposing people to... well, you were around, so I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about. Oof! I hear things have improved a fair bit since those times, and it's welcome news.)

Someone else retweeted it and linked it up with you, but it wasn't KassandraSeven.

Just setting the record straight on this one.
