As conventions return to in-person events, we at Fanbase Press feel that it is important and necessary to provide virtual access to those individuals who may experience barriers to attending such events, as well as the panel programming that occurs onsite. In the years to come, our goal is to provide as many virtual panel opportunities as possible to provide greater access not only to viewers, but to the experienced and knowledgeable panelists who may also be limited by access.

Led by Bryant Dillon (President, Fanbase Press), this virtual panel – featuring several notable male voices across various geeky spectrums including Hannibal Tabu (writer – WAR MEDICINE, THE SUNDERING: THE NATION BENEATH OUR FEET), Arthur N. Ebuen (writer/creator – ©ALIFORNIA, INC), Rylend Grant (writer/creator – THE PEACEKEEPERS, THE JUMP), David Nett (co-owner – HERO’S JOURNEY FITNESS, co-creator – PROGCORE FANTASY: DARK AGE OF THEER), and Ben Crane (co-creator – COSMIC CADETS, writer – A MAN OF LIES) – is a frank conversation on the state of male fandom in 2025, exploring how we define male fandom and masculinity in 2025, how we grapple with the rise in toxic masculinity in fandom spaces (especially as men foster their own communities), and much more.
