Hey, uh don't really love how you let teenagers smoke and get tattoos inside your event space. I tried contacting you and asking to ensure this event was 19 plus. You confirmed it was. It was not. You said there would be security, and I feel like this amount of underage folks wouldn't be able to attend what was an alleged 19 plus event. The producers of the actual event do not allow comments on their posts unless they are apart of the team with which they work and collaborate. This enables teens to see the hype for the event but leaves them unable to voice their excitement. This is an unusual behaviour for any group looking to promote a brand, whether it be clothing, jewelry, food, or music.
I believe this is dangerous.
I am not trying to be an absolute buzz kill but this is a very effective way to get young people to potentially join a group which may not have their best interests at heart or worse.
I have been to raves and stuff when I was underage as well but at least that was able to be marketed as 16+. So I don't know why this event, event space, and promoters of this event cannot be more honest and clear. What are they hiding?
Anyway I included some screen shots from a promotional video by one of the promoters. (A gentleman who approaches young people in the rideau center and in the market asking them quiz questions. ) I assume he also word of mouths the events during that time as well much like a rave promoter. Instead of colored paper flyers it is instagram quizzes.
I find this whole situation sketchy as hell. And if anyone is curious just try getting any substantial information for anything from @motioncru @moshpitcentralofficial .
I'm not ready for these kids to be the next netflix truecrime documentary...
So yeah...one star.
