At the Sinners & Stardust convention, focused on “dark fantasy” or “romantasy” books, there were reports of inappropriate behavior where male attendees and authors were groped by some female attendees. This was discussed in a YouTube video by Clownfish TV, which highlighted that such actions were non-consensual and raised concerns about double standards in media coverage compared to if the genders were reversed. No specific individual was named as a victim, and the incident was described more generally as affecting multiple men at the event.
