I feel like I'm going insane with some of the takes here. The creator of the conference created catfishing accounts devoted to advertising the event, they advertised and sold their conference as being 'diverse' knowing full well that they're lying and the responses is 'oh, the poor organizer had to commit fraud to survive'? What?
If they're lying about whos going to the conference and speaking, then what else are they lying about? They've been doing this charade for years now. Regardless of your opinions on diversity I would fucking hope that people would agree committing fraud is bad.
