>>10975391She probably threatened and called them racist if they didn’t let her in
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10975059All therads here are like 3 years old kek

>>10975068Why are you so pissed off dude lol you're acting like i raped your family or something.
>>10975064World's been shit for the last 3 years too. And Captcha sucks.
>>10943394am I a lesbian if I wish I could live my life doing this with a cute girl?
i'm not saying every person needs to have the same accurate body as the character they are cosplaying as, call be fatphobic but seeing ugly ass fat pigs cosplay and expect compliments annoys me.I don't know how they are not disgusted of being a fat bag, and looking like a pork compared to slim or fit cosplayers.
>>10960442Are you a pedophile?
>>10972153>it's gonna get betterIt was getting better for a while, but I feel like lately a lot of the fat girls I run into refuse to take ozempic and similar pills. Not really sure why, my guess is dudes overplayed their hand and asked girls about ozempic too much.
>>10960442I wouldn't say they ruin everything simply by existing with the desire and ability to cosplay.What is harmful is when some of them take it upon themselves to "call out" the fans of cosplayers who are in-shape or thinner. That shit reeks of jealousy and creates unnecessary competition for those who aren't in it for the money/fame. Then they bring up politics and morality to guilt the community, when in reality this isn't a reflection of politics, its a social issue.
>>10960477yes they're (maybe cool instead of hot)
>>10960477Gross. Get out.
Who’s going? Who’s excited? Cosplay lineups.This is my 4th year going solo so I hope to be able to organize a meetup this year or something. This con has otherwise been enjoyable every year.September 3rd - September 6th, Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio.
>>10975396pretty standard con stuff except the prostitutes one, is that normal?
>>10975397Whole of Columbus is overrun with lot lizards. Avoid all women in red dresses.
>>10975398They actually go into the con?
>>10975413Saw them there in the last two years, yeah. Friend of mine got kissed by one and ended up getting some kind of disease from it.

>>10975026>no more being taken aback by how spread thin everything becameThat was my biggest gripe with it. Everything going to the hotel by 8 or whatever felt off. Decent spot to hang out but it was so small. >Holmat at GaylordIt's such a nice hotel. I fucking hate that that ice show is there every year so we'll never see it happen. >better venue just by virtue of looking cool
>>10975027 (me)Fuck I pressed enter before I could finish my post.>better venue just by virtue of looking coolthat's an underrated aspect though and one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.
>>10975027>>10975028This year I'm gonna have to run some stuff by my crew cuz speaking DESU we flushed all of Saturday night down the toilet on an idea I knew was a fail from the start and it was. Comes from how spread out everything was. For 24 though, I can remember the exact moment feeling my soul getting bled dry: the huge uncanny, empty parking lot walk>>10975027>one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.And mine is: the famous con actually at a Gaylord, Katsucon. Unless something changes, I'm branding it the unfriendliest least welcoming con of all. And I say this in full acknowledgment, that Holmat day people aren't a basket of rainbow sunshine either
>>10975029Oh yeah the Gaylord there is nice but I've been there for MAGFest which ironically is one of the nicest crowds I've seen. Gave me old holmat vibes, minus the Christmas stuff of course.
The con that shall not be named on this board was good enough and really put things in perspective. People flying over 9000 miles to be there and I'm just a 3 hour drive. Still, booking a Disney venue was a huge mistake anyone with a half functioning single cell brain could see
A member of our con staff got arrested at the con, and still nobody knows why. He was walked out yelling "That was YEARS ago!"In happier news, I was in the hospital with appendicitis and my bf came to visit me dressed as Shinji Ikari. The nurse with Tokyo Mewmew tatts thought it was hilarious.
I hope Soufflesong crashes and fucking burns, and every YouTuber that shills them loses their following. Waited too long to file a chargeback with PayPal and now they can just fuck off with my money with no consequences and send me nothing that I paid forFuck you Soufflesong I ordered this shit in January and I was too patient with you bitches
SoI found out recently that the leather I bought for my cosplay is meant for sofas, not for clothingAnd one leather I need wasn't available anymoreWell, I guess I start at least one coat from scratch
Instagram's suggested reels really just showed me some Spidey cos-thot with her pussy lips hanging out the leotard's sex-hole. But they deleted my post with a nude statue.
I swear, if you are normal weight, have a slightly defined stomach and you are tall, you will almost get sexually harassed as a guy at a large enough cosplay gather. I am kinda a germaphobe, when it comes to STD, so it feels too fucking weird to take advantage of that situation. But there must be organized groups of girls out there, who are only there to fuck or something.
Is going alone worth it? Cant help but feel all the time like everyone has their own separate micro group of friends.
i havent been here regularly in years but when i do come back i cant find the ita threads. that was like the whole reason i showed up. did you people suddenly learn social tact while i was gone. what the fuck man
>>10975369It looks like a Leg Avenue Lolita costume
>>10975369not their fault that the company chose the worst looking possible polka dots print, I don't know what is it about lolita, but the brands or whatever are specialist at making polka dots look bad
>>10975369>honestly it looks fineyou need to get your eyes checked
>>10975369Because of r/lolita the standards are so low this looks tolerable
>>10975369Would you pay the burando prices the want to charge for it though?
>Animaga - did you enjoy the idols?>A-MUSE announced as guests at Animayhem Brisbane>Upcoming lives: Neonism and Patopi bar concept, Azusa grad, SeiPro two-man, Himizu one-man. Which one are you looking forward to?>What idols have you been listening to recently?
Well 4qnq won't be at that event, that's all I can say. Idols won't even be the main focus of that event it seems like.
>>10974321It's your lucky day
>>10975331Which AI slop show?
>>10975401they’re talking about neo tokyo (neotokyopavilion on insta) they’ve basically used exclusively AI art to promote their event. they also used ever angel in their advertising so im kinda worried about them being associated with it :(
>>10975104The music scene is not really comparable because that is made of bands and producers making new music with the intent to get paid sometime. The focus is on the music itself or the aesthetic presentation of said music but not so much on personality except in extreme cases. Idols on the other hand are primarily personality and identity driven. Your brand and face as an idol is as important as the music you perform. Maybe even more important, since most idols are covering the same stable of songs instead of producing new works. It's an environment of girls living out their dreams to "shine bright" on stage instead of some songwriter trying to make a heartfelt statement about themselves or their lives. Because the idol scene is so heavy on personality there is a lot of ego investment and because the participants skew younger you end up with a lot of schoolyard tier acts of gossip and rumormongering by the same people espousing a rainbows and ponies community culture in public.It's not like the music scene doesn't have bands with infighting and implosions and break ups but that's all intra-group conflict instead of inter-group conflict.

>>10974047oh sure, ill be there too.Aninite and Yunicon are my only 2 regulars so to speak.
I'm at Aninite nowThis year in the basementAgain
>>10973000>>10973036Heard about it on social media and found it very weird how everyone was suuuper concerned and worried. Like, Dokomi has some 200k visitors nowadays and one (1) person anheroed weeks later, how are you affected?And not to hwnbaw post, but everyone was very sure to call that person she in every tweet even when there was zero information out, very telling. Afaik even the police record said man which rules out that it could have been a tranny. It's just silly at this point
Procrastinated on con plans to the point of not going at all again award :(
>>10975368Oh, I'm getting there, too. I still haven't ordered any of the stuff I want to wear to YuniCon.
>be me, 30s M>hardly ever donde a cosplay but in 2020>carnival blood runs in my veins>tries and premieres it in Seville and Madrid>"hey, anon, you've got a good Class-D cosplay"Alright, I'm going to do cross "the fog" and dump my portfolio.

>>10956467Built like Iggy Pop.
>>10939739>I'd throw a nut in her but I'm 95% sure she'd just lie there and have zero fun.Sounds like every women who has sex with me
>>10933427Kudos to them for actually going to that staircase. I lived a few blocks from it for a while and its one of the shittiest and most dangerous areas in the Bronx. Those stairs actually lead up to four different housing projects.
>>10965264out to steal some tailed beasts
have you ever found the pics of you cosplaying that you posted online or that somebody else took posted on a pornographic site?
>>10969344>lovebombing for months fails>silent treatment for months failswhat am I doing wrong guys? I'm literally following every abuse and manipulation guide online, and it isn't working
>>10973935It's time to send penis pictures, anon
>>10973943I asked first

DragonCon 202640th AnniversaryAtlanta, GA USA4 Weeks to go. Let’s see those cosplays.
>>10975074Hell yeah anon, see you at the club.
>>10975333There are SO many things happening at DragonCon you can't go to everything so just have fun and take in the most of it.
Whats all you guys' cosplay lineups?

>>10975377Space Marine Judiciar for Fri/Sat afternoon, just finished final fitting today
Didn't see a thread for CCE yet, so I'm biting the bullet. Who're you cosplaying? What're you most excited for? How much alcohol are you going to consume cuz we all know what we're here for?I've been going for a few years but never hit the waterpark (usually too busy partying elsewhere), looking to rectify that this time. Also need to see Kazha again, they're great every year.
>>10975351Thanks for the info. I'm trying to make this con. Its a bit 50/50 now. I'll look into waterproof items for this. I don't mind spending a bit of money to have some fun at the waterpark.
>>10975352The lockers were a bit pricey and the drinks too. If you order a large drink in the indoor water park you can get a cheaper refill on it but thats up to how much liquor you handle and if you wanna spend the price of a meal on it.
me leaving my phone back in the hotel room so I can enjoy the water park without a worry
im bringing several bottles of shit from my europe trip, what's everyone bringing
>>10975361Going on my booze run today. Definitely Jager and rum, gonna see if I can find Rumple Minze too though that shit's elusive around here. Plus a case each of Natty Daddy and Yuengling.
