#yes it isn’t completely confirmed that's why multiple Chinese ex pat creators were deemed ‘ineligible’#but because they didn’t give a reason for those #and did in other instances give reasons why some nominees weren’t elligible #IT LOOKS REALLY FUCKING WEIRD #ESPECIALLY AFTER WE HAD YEARS OF SAD PUPPY SLATES THAT THEY DOD NOTHING ABOUT #THE REASON THE SAD PUPPIES DIDNT WIN WAS BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY UNITING AGAINST THEM NOT FUCKING WORLD CON #but now it’s like ‘oh this author isn’t eligible for unspecified vague reasons’#for the record I remember Chinese creators specifically warning about this very thing happening when the World Con location was announced #its not like no one considered it it was literally an Issue brought up
