"Doom Co-Creator John Carmack Defends Anti-Woke Sci-Fi Convention In Response To Criticism"
Legendary game developer John Carmack has defended his decision to attend BasedCon, a science fiction and fantasy convention for "non-leftist" writers, following social media criticism. Carmack says he was simply interested in attending as a fan of "hard science fiction stories with a bit of a competent libertarian vibe". BasedCon will run for its third year this September, at a hotel in Michigan.
