This is, in fact, the latest in a long line of accusations against him for inappropriate conduct. I am scheduled as a guest of Anime Midwest, a con I have attended for many years that is under the AnimeCon.org umbrella, and am under contract to attend. However, I take such accusations seriously and as such am taking the following actions:
-This will be the final time I attend any convention chaired by Ryan Kopf or operated by AnimeCon.org, at least until such time as he is removed from the organization completely.
-50% of the proceeds I make will be donated to the charity RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network).
