Keeping Accountability 101

April 29th to May 1st, 2021-

Botcon tweeted a transformer toy themed reaction and got random responses from the fandom which sparked the following response from the Botcon social media twitter account:



This in turn started a fan after fan response in the negative about the actions of doubling down and a few other fan issues with Pete which merged with BotCon issues. Between the fans who were not aware of the past credit card security leak and the ones who'd been active attendees at the time, it stirred the upset for hours and brought Pete to the platform to confront random posts by searching BotCon as the keyword. He started jumping in and out of responses calling them "lies" and "hateful words" to discredit him and the convention.

The following interactions between fans where the most prominent:

And some fans just blocked him as soon as he jumped into their twitter mentions just to stave off the drama before it even started. He jumped in and out of twitter accounts who literally posted popcorn pics and mentioned botcon in their random tweets, but he messaged them just the same to spew at them for finding it entertaining.

Pete did answer questions about BotCon and BC Productions as one fan asked. The bullet points on that information:

  • Who runs Botcon Twitter account? Multiple people including Pete.
  • Night Shining/Pete company only selling licensed BotCon merch.
  • Merch will be sold through Shopify in connection with PayPal. <--should have led with this bro.
  • He does not speak for BotCon or BC Productions.
  • Who runs/owns BC Productions? Didn't say but referred to a Magazine article being published soon from this twitter account.
  • Pete's not sure how many people run the BC Productions but he said earlier that day 8 people, but he back peddles.

When the tweets started to wane he'd post another message on his twitter account to taunt another reaction:


Once the drama died down after a few hours he spent time talking to someone? and then ended his torrent of attacks and challenging fans to a one on one confrontation with the following public apology to un-named parties. Which was then picked up by the BotCon twitter account. (But it could have been Pete who retweeted it.)

But a week later another incident followed.

One Epic Implosion

Image
 May 10th 2021 It's the day that many should remember going down as the Epic Online Implosion that only a select group of the fandom experienced, but will hopefully resonate with fans weeks and months to come as the moment when what was said and what actually happened proved more that it's not about what can't be dropped by the fandom but what won't go away because it demands a shift from reality into a morphed version of glory days ended that will not be given back. After a long day of confrontation on different accounts across twitter, Pete had a epic meltdown on long time twitter user Vangelus, who handled the situation as best he could. Vangelus is NOT some one who has been vocally attacking Pete, but because in Pete's mind he is sure he's in on it... he insisted that Vangelus engage him. It was uncalled for harassment and Vangelus held his own. Click here to read the resulting tweets |  Tweet from Pete that started it all..  | ..more here | ..and here | .

The Jabby Jabby of all Jabbies!

Image
Just to be clear on Pete Sinclair's stance on VACCINATION, out of his mouth specifically. He is 100% for  everyone getting the jab EXCEPT children. Even after having a very lengthy conversation on twitter with a pediatrician (you can see how that conversation went by clicking here ) which did not end with him defending his point of view well. Without having a medical background himself, or any credentials that tie him to the NIH, the CDC, or the FDA, he believes children shouldn't be vaccinated. And is completely FINE going after random grandmothers on twitter to SHAME them for such abuses to children! So does that make him half anti-vax or just anti-child-vax? Anti-child-covid-vax?? And he insists that the pandemic is now endemic, when the CDC and NIH have neither announced this nor  declared the United States free of Covid-19 hospitalizations. It's a really specific word, he's thrown it around a few times since November. "We are ENDEMIC" according to Pete. A

The Berger Incident

A random jump into voice actor Gregg Berger's Public Facebook Page in August 2020 ! (You'll need to add him on facebook to see the post! He's very approachable and loves to talk with fans!) Pete Sinclair is the second comment in and gets into it on a beloved voice actors personal Facebook page over politics and previous BotCon experiences, there is over 130 responses! Is this a person that you want to be associated with BotCon? I hope Gregg wasn't offended and doesn't decide to just not guest at anymore fan run conventions. Followers of our blog, if you've seen any other interactions like this online in public social media sites and would like to share it with us, we'd be more than happy to feature it here so everyone can see what kind of a person Mr. Sinclair is and how it's not okay to do things like this, if he wants to have a public discourse on his own Facebook page, that's fine. But not on a well known and loved voice actor of the Transformers
