Segregation or Sanctuary: Do We Still Need Blerd-Specific Spaces?
The Controversy: As "Black Cons" grow in popularity, some argue that by creating our own conventions, we are retreating from the main stage and making it easier for "Big Cons" (like SDCC or NYCC) to ignore Black creators.
The Debate: Is "Blerd" a necessary label for protection and networking, or is it becoming a "marketing gimmick" that limits Black creators to a smaller niche?
The Heat: Pose the question: "If San Diego Comic-Con was perfectly inclusive tomorrow, would Blerdcon still need to exist?"
News
TNA’s AMC Debut: TNA Wrestling officially debuted on AMC this week (Jan 15) with TNA Genesis 2026. Was the premiere "underwhelming" or a solid first step for a brand trying to reclaim its spot?
