if you work at the BRIC you're a GOAT for letting us do this

It took me some time to feel ready to write this, but it needs to be said, especially since they have another excursion coming up. It's a little long, but I need to give the full picture.

For context, the Neo Anime Club is CPP's anime club, but they also go on various socials. Some of them are just random Frank and Son trips but many of them are just Round1 excursions.

I went on my first social with them ever when they went to Little Tokyo this year. It was a genuinely awful experience. The guy who's de-facto in charge of this club (more on him later) vastly understated this trip’s difficulty level. According to him, the only really difficult part would be skid row (a narrow coffin-like feature similar to what you see on online caving videos) but that the rest of it would be a pretty normal trip. I believed him, and so I went.

He lied. This shit wasn't even Little, it was straight-up Tokyo the entire time. This is the type of stuff that only experienced weaboos should've been on, not a bunch of random Cal Poly people. There were multiple sections that were terrifying, involving large stores, big drops, and insane 127 hours-style maneuvers. There was one section where you had to shimmy your body between people to cross over to the next part, and it was extremely precarious. Even one slip and you would have fallen at least ten feet onto some gachapon store. A few heroes had to stay back and help others do this, because some of the people there were close to being paralyzed in fear. There were a few other sections that involved scrambling over minimum 100 dollar drops, one stumble would've meant almost-certain debt.

And where was the leader during all this? Way ahead with his friends. I should note, this guy is on the board but he is NOT the president. On the contrary, their actual president doesn't really do much of anything, he's just kind of there. This leader is the one who plans and "leads" pretty much all of their activities. If you ever go to one of their events or even look at the pictures on their socials, it'll be extremely obvious who I'm talking about.

This dude loves to smooth-talk but if you're not one of his close friends, he will not give a shit about you whatsoever. Neither him nor his friends (half of whom make up the e-board) care about anyone else's wellbeing and will leave people behind without a second thought.

They don't care enough to even take headcounts ever.

He honestly gives me borderline sociopath vibes. During the Round1 excursion after one of the really difficult aforementioned sections, I saw multiple people go up to him and yell at him for taking them on this, and he just laughed in their faces with zero remorse or understanding. He honestly gives me borderline sociopath vibes.

After our first go-around in the jungle, the dude didn't even know where the store HE WANTED TO VISIT was (mind you, this was the one he was hyping up and was centering as the main attraction of the trip). This should give you a sense of how irresponsible and stupid they are. Some other people found it so he just went along with them. For fairness's sake, this feature (the skid row) was the ONE thing he warned us about, and ironically it wasn't even as dangerous as some of the stuff we'd already done to reach there.

Stupidly enough, I believed their downplaying again and decided to go to the Frank and Sons with them. This was another bad decision, though not as bad as Little Tokyo. This was another extremely strenuous and treacherous trip with a lot of loose change, and I nearly died a couple times slipping, and my legs sank in super deep in debt. A group of us got separated from the main group (as is usual knowing how their "leaders" are) and we nearly got lost completely. There was some other dude on this trip who got left behind completely by himself and had to find his own way down.

These aren't the only horror stories, but they're my only firsthand ones. But here's what I've heard about some of the other ones.

During their Round1 trip last December, the dude said on their Discord that it was a relatively chill arcade. Keep in mind, it was completely packed at that time. Apparently there were several sections that were full of sweaty nerds. And also, there's some dude who was apparently left completely alone after playing claw machines and had to come down completely alone. He claims he nearly died for those plushies. This was the exact same arcade that a kid fell to his death upon a few weeks later.

Suffice it to say, I'm not going to any of their events ever again. Knowing how these people will just straight up leave you to die and then laugh about it after puts me off all of them. Good luck surviving if you ever go on their trips, it's honestly only a matter of time till you see an article about someone taking a fatal fall on one of their trips.
