Since about 2 hours ago on Twitter, Obsidian Winter's been making some pretty crazy claims about BABSCon:
- Apparently, WeAreBorg (Public Relations and Press Relations of BABSCon) revoked Draft's badge unfairly
- Apparently, BABSCon did not profit, is severely in debt, and use money raised for charity to pay off debts instead
Now, we at Horse News are total shills for BABSCon had a good time at BABSCon and have shared great relations with the BABSCon organizers, and would like to emphasize that Obsidian Winter is absolutely crazy not quite stable, has had a huge track record of flipflopping and betrayal unreliability, and her words are not to be trusted at all likely to be inaccurate or unreliable.
Incidents of Obsidian Winter craziness:
- Releasing recordings of Final Draft's voice calls about the aborted Sweet Apple Acres for leaking, then claiming she did not want them leaked.
- Fucking with the Bronycon programming schedules so bad, she got fired
- Now
Now, this article isn't about those previous incidents, its about what is happening totally in the now right now. And according to this thread (I'll replace it with a Cloppers Closet archive when this thread goes dead) there seems to be a particular part where OW claims are revealed to be bullshit and lies discrepancy between Obsidian claiming Draft's badge was wrongly revoked, and the stories she told at a lunch with Purple Tinker and /mlp/
The American Grill, where lots of BABSCon spaghetti was dropped |
What she doesn't tell you is that during the little lunch /mlp/ had with PT on that Sunday, Borg and her joined us, and shared with us the story of how Draft got kicked out. Not only did she agree completely with the decision, she was the one who authorized Borg to keep the badge.
Shroo, who posted all of this in another thread, along with several other /mlp/ people who were there can confirm this.
The OP of the thread also can back this up:
OP here, and I was also there.We have also reached out to
Borg did have the badge, but OW said there and over Twitter that all three of them were in agreement about Draft's badge being revoked.
The charity money issue, however, I have heard nothing about until now.
Obsidian Winter was pretty damn enthusiastic about Draft's badge revocation at the lunch. Seems bullshit she takes those words back.
So yeah, there ya go. Seems like Obsidian is
According the BABSCon Twitter, Obsidian Winter is fired.
It is with deep regret that BABSCon parts ways with @Obsidian_Winter for 2015. We thank her for her contributions and wish her the best.

Oh, and as of the time of writing, it seems that WeAreBorg and Purple Tinker have now joined the twitter fight fray, and chat logs and conversations are being threatened to be leaked!
We are already starting to microwave the popcorn right now!

Lovely anon posts this apparently contradiction by Obsidian.
"Looking for a contradiction? Here's the biggie. She's supposedly lost her home, but she's going to post the chat logs once she gets home. |
--------------------------------
Update 07:17AM EST
We are getting in rumours that Obsidian Winter knew she was going to be fired as early as Saturday of the convention, from a few of our insider sources. It also appears this incident and these supposed leaks were triggered by Obsidian Winter's firing, and the firing happened before these leaks, rather than after.
With this, we revise the original title of "BREAKING NEWS: OBSIDIAN WINTER GOES CRAZY, BLASTS BABSCON (WITH LIES), HELD BY TINKER & SONYA, FIRED"
@Obsidian_Winter @SonyaLynn No, I came here on suicide intervention because I knew (correctly) that you would freak out when you were fired.

Purple Tinker is explaining her thoughts on this, why she was with Sonya and Obsidian, and how she relates to Obsidian's position.

Capper has also posted the receipt of payment of the /mlp/ table to RAINN
Obsidian says that she had to pay for a VA out of her own pocket.
Nani sore?
ReplyDeleteHere I thought that BABSCON was going to be relatively drama free
ReplyDeleteSo, did she go psycho AFTER she was fired?
ReplyDeleteIf purps is honest in saying she had her A game on and was an asset to the con, why was she fired?
Or, if purps has an ulterior motive to praise her, what would that be? Pure PR control?
if purps is to be believed, suicide watch. So pointless flattery to keep OW on the correct side of the railing.
Delete>PT
Delete>honest
>choose one
Will Drafty take her in despite her direct involvement in his very public BABScon embarassment? To be a fly on the wall to hear THAT conversation!
ReplyDeleteThe amount of information on this in such a short time....
ReplyDeleteJust wow. Bravo, Horse news!
Why doesn't this article have the "too stupid to make up" tag?
ReplyDelete>caring about cons
ReplyDeleteBecause real women don't have to constantly prove that they're women.
ReplyDeleteWait, you mean OW is also trans?
ReplyDeleteTop Lek
So wait, why is Obsidian now saying FD's badge was taken away unfairly?
ReplyDeleteAnon 2, nah trans are just appropriating the female body and invading women's safe spaces to exert their bullshit male masculinity. Trans aren't proving anything but how misogynistic they really are.
ReplyDeleteWill this fandom ever succeed in pulling off a large scale event that is completely drama free?
ReplyDelete>Large scale event
Delete>Drama free
>choose one
why is it that every tranny has to start drama?
ReplyDeleteIf they weren't drama-queens, they'd probably never even bother to change themselves into trannies.
DeleteWhy is everyone focusing on the fact that PT is a tranny? She's not a "drama queen tranny who's full of shit" she's a "drama queen who is full of shit" who also (on an unrelated note) happens to be a tranny. Love and tolerate people, even if you find their gender identity weird
DeleteWhat? WHAT? How many fucking drama trannies are in this goddamn fandom?! Less than 1% of people are transsexual, and this makes HOW many loony-ass shemales stirring up freerange horse drama? I find that to be a bit odd.
ReplyDeleteHold on, I just figured it out: The Kids in the Hall are back, and now they're performance artist comedians.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that this entire fandom creates the most drama?
ReplyDeleteYES
ReplyDeleteIT'S LIKE UNICON 2.0
TORTANIC
TRANSCRIPTION ERROR SCROLLOCAUST: OFFLINE
ALL OVER AGAIN
FANTASTIC
THIS SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY
this was nowhere near as bad as Unicon was
DeleteBabscon for the people who attended was a success, for the people running it it wasn't because of all the drama.

ReplyDelete"@CantercastShow @babsconsf @PK_EQD I'll release the logs tomorrow. The we will see who is lying."
This was posted on May 3, and still nothing on the afternoon of May 5. In fact, no new tweets from Obsidian since the third. Did her mother take a turn for the worst? Was Obsidian, in fact, involuntarily committed and lied about being released (possibly making up the story about her mother's coma too)? Is her claims to damning Skype logs complete and utter bullshit?
And she did lie about being released! We've got a winner!
Delete"Obsidian Winter @Obsidian_Winter 1h
Was released from the Hospital today after my involuntary committal. Resting now. Will update later."
Looks like purps opted to get the drama under control rather than fan the flames. Can't help but feel she's a very different person from the dramamancer we used to start shit with a year or so ago.

DeleteIf I had to guess the docs sent her home with some good drugs on Saturday, and she's mellowed out for the moment. We're going to have to wait until Obsidian decides to "bless" us with her presence again to have some minor inking of what's going on. However, no matter what is currently transpiring over in Nashville, hopefully her outburst on the 3rd ends her future on the horse convention circuit.
I have no clue what happened but she is losing her Mother. That is bound to stress her out just a bit.
DeleteOW's been at this shit for years. Google-fu it: obsidian winter unicorn, winter unicorn LJ, unicorn pagan drama, unicorn otherkin drama same stories, same shit, same llama. This OC is just the most recent con-artist handle he/she's used to scam people since way back. &BTW, "Mom's dying" has been a fav con-game for over 20 years now. Yins been played, muthasukahs.
