I got Amos Yee banned from a convention

I'm sure y'all heard of the incident where a Yuji Itadori cosplayer bashed Amos Yee at an event. Well... I very partially had a role to play in this.

I basically infiltrated Amos' Discord server, where he said he was attending Doujima (an anime convention at Suntec). I was the one who screenshotted it onto my story with the skull emojis, and SOMEHOW it got spread to 700+ cosplayers across Singapore and even on Mothership. This eventually led to the ORGANISERS themselves banning Amos, but sadly that didn't stop him from 'lobby-conning'.

My cosplayer classmate who doesn't follow me back suddenly viewed my story, and that's when I realized my screenshot somehow spread. Even 2 mutuals told me, "thank you for saving coscon/the kids", and it warmed my heart knowing I sorta impacted the events that unfolded. If not for what I had posted, Amos could've been in the convention hall and things could've gotten crazier.

The coscon community in Singapore is pretty vigilant when it comes to preds. I'm really glad all of us stepped up to warn about him and protect each other, considering many cosplayers happen to be minors too. Anyways, I went today and met some really cool people including my secondary school friends :> And finally found Overwatch and Grusha merch, even if I didn't see SG's biggest pred get beaten live.

I also saw one of the people walking past in the video, he told me he got stopped by people 10 times today 💀
