The latest defcon beef is so fucking funny. There’s been some kind of dispute over the badges that lead to one of the engineers being uninvited from a panel at the con. He went on stage anyway then when the staff told him to leave, he begged them to physically drag him off the stage (AFAIK they don’t actually ever do this), but he wanted to be dragged off, I assume for publicity, so the staff went along with it for jokes. You can clearly tell from the video that it’s the fakest shit ever, but now there’s a bunch of crybabies on Twitter yelling about how defcon staff engaged in assault & battery and saying the con should be closed down and sued 💀

@malwaretech That "dragging off the stage" was probably the only thing handled perfectly right in this whole situation. The guy had no intention to leave the stage on his own, but had no intention to physically fight either. He got to make his point, security got to ensure he wasn't on stage as instructed by organizers; all while both sides clearly had some fun in the process 😂
