>be non black person (not white) doing cosplay>high expectations to be accurate with correct wig for contests and photoshoots>be black>no need to use wig or accurate cosplay. it's called ethnic wigs instead
>>10958494holy shit you're such a fucking faggot
>>10967599so lazy
>>10968086you wouldnt, but a lot of black people would cry about it online and try to confront you at conventions like an angry mob
retarded racebait aside, I really wish there were more black cosplayers who do cosplays for other series besides Marvel/DC and flavor of the month netflix shonen. A Doppel cosplay would be super cool to see.
>>10968112This never happens, but keep coming up with a narrative. Plus, it's usually the other way around when Black cosplayers do non-Black characters.Look, I know you pathetic little nerds are angry that the same race of people who used to bully you for being austic weebs are invading your precious little nerd spaces, but your anger won't stop shit. Your anger won't make Tyrone and Jamal stop attending cons, nor will it make Tyrone and Jamal say sorry for bullying you.
February 13th – 15th, 2026Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center>what are you cosplaying?>any panels/events you’re interested in? >where the parties at?
>>10968258I witnessed a shirtless dude being "escorted" BT police back to his room in the 11th floor at like 2am. The cops kept shouting "make way" so this dude wouldn't smash into anyone. He was bouncing off the walls and then faceplanting into the floor while shouting that he had killed someone. Completely fucking wasted drunk.
>>10968239Recover from a hangover and make your flight home.If they Gaylord had late checkout, maybe more shit would be going on. For me its one last chance to look at the merch and then head to the airport.
>>10967425did anyone see someone bring a full chuck e cheese costume to the con?
>>10968262Yes.
>>10968261Honestly, that's definitely something to improve on next year for Katsucon and MAGFest.

What do you think of kids at cons? Good? Bad?Should more cons ban them, I've noticed actual porn stars at Comic Con dressed very revealing and selling their stuff there so maybe that should go 18+
>>10968102more like degen subhumans should be kept away from normal people, and have their own "special" cons with as many obese teannies in little clothing as they like, fucking subhuman scum
>>10968114> Anon posts on the most coomer website outside of pornMost people going to cons are degens already. In fact, most people are degens. Ergo, there really shouldn't be any families going to anime cons when the majority of the people attending are just single people or couples wearing skimpy clothes.
>>10968109This happened yesterday at katsu.>10pm, clearly time for slutty outfits to start coming out.>With my friends, walking around. All od us Wearing a somewhat adult outfits.>Some mom and her kid ask for a photo with me.>Agree because the kid said his name was the same as my character.>Suddenly 5 other kids come out of the woodwork, youngest one being like 3 years old, and start clambering to be in the photo. >3 of them are touching me.>One of them grabs my inner thigh.>Nope out of there.What. The. Fuck.
I say let kids attend Anime conventions. I don't get you fucking weirdos with your hatred for kids other than the fact nobody wants to have children with you BPDemoms and degen males or you're still traumatized by some normies kids mocking you for playing dress up or because you're autistic.Keep the skimpy slutty cosplays for nighttime shit when there aren't any kids.
>>10967959>ven then, the whole hyper-sexualized cosplayers never made sense to begin with, since it feels like a step away from full on porn/sex shit in public.I mean, cons have always been kinda freaky. What annoys me is that 99.9% of sexualized cosplay these days is just girls advertising their onlyfans. Used to be a girl at a con in a slutty costume was probably either an exhibitionist getting off or a hornygirl who actually wanted to get fucked that night and I can respect that, shit if I could dress up in an outfit that made every girl that saw me wet I'd probably do it too, and shit, a lot of us older guys in the con scene would probably be way less adjusted and experienced if it weren't for slutty cosplayers. I hate that now it's all fake and done for profit.
This is for the older con goers. How does it feel to go to cons? Do you feel out of place? What is the average age at cons do you feel, and when do you feel like you've aged out of the con scene? I'm early 30s myself and I'm starting to notice the age difference, and have been interacting with people a lot less at cons
>>10968208The amount of bullying in the con scene now is obsurd. It's hilarious this thread is even a thing because despite majority of cosplayers being 21 and older, many of them act like middle school queen bees as some form of revenge of the life they never got in real life.
>>10968211I'm not autistic, but I got friends who are and it honestly pisses me off when people mistreat them. The same people who supposed to be leftist liberals accepting of everyone because DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION! Its nothing but cute little vitural signaling for assholes to pretend they're not toxic piece of shit trying to be the bullies who tormented them back in middle and high school.>>10968226Been saying this since 2010 when I first discovered cosplay and /cgl/. Over 98% of the bullies you see in the cosplay community were once bullied by normies and others back in middle and high school. >as some form of revenge of the life they never got in real life.You noticed they only do it to other nerds and not the normies who bullied them?
>>10968227Yeah. Being “nerdy” with an “eccentric hobby” is now what’s popular with normies because you have to be “unique but still normal” aka snowflakes.I’ve sadly also noticed a trend with OG attendees that has become staff that they turn very narcissistic and power hungry. I guess being a fat ugly nerd as a kid and now finally have a small pocket of power because of the popularity of cons has gone to their head. They don’t treat new staff as equal and abuse / assert their power either bullying, harassing or thing they can do “stuff” with the cosplayers.Nothing new under the hood same old corpo ladder climbing.
>>10968232Isn't it amazing that a place that supposed to be for those who felt unwelcomed turned into a community of hurtful people who love to reject others because they felt rejected by society.>I’ve sadly also noticed a trend with OG attendees that has become staff that they turn very narcissistic and power hungry. I guess being a fat ugly nerd as a kid and now finally have a small pocket of power because of the popularity of cons has gone to their head.Its so funny because they want power, but the only power they can get is staffing an anime convention being bullied to their peers who felt unwelcomed and rejected by others. But it's cool because once the weekend is over with, those same power hungry con staff are going to return to their 9-to5 working at a company ran by a CEO with REAL power and influence that can impact thousands of hundreds of thousands of lives. Oh, and those con staff at their normies jobs aren't popular, they lack friends, and they probably getting bullied at work.Since I'm on the topic of power: Notice they never pull that power play shit IRL and notice they never try their little bullshit with normies at cons or IRL.
>>10968227I'm not sure of exactly the level of bullying you're talking about, but while I hate to say this and feel bad, you do have to look at things from the other side. Over 20+ years in the con scene I've dealt with a lot of very autistic people at cons and it can be a tough situation, they can be extremely inappropriate, if they get into a group it basically turns into "babysit the autist" and makes it impossible to do things the rest of the group wants to do, and they're often incapable of understanding or responding to gentler cues to change their behavior or not try and insert themselves into a group. I have quite a bit of sympathy, I wasn't exactly one of the popular kids in school either and I struggle with some social situations others don't as well, but there's a limit to what people can be expected to tolerate and become associated with, and I've personally seen some of the autistic people I've encountered at cons do some really beyond the pale shit.
5 months of the old thread and not much has happened.Summer cons have been and gone and once again everything is fundamentally different. I don’t think we’llGo back to pre lockdown glory.Ho hum.Theres a few more bits and pieces before con season is over but I cba looking them up this time.
Kitacon looking like a red flag parade. All communication running through Discord and Youtube videos, including when registration would open; reduced accommodation offerings from Warwick, unable to even confirm if guests and vendors can get onsite accommodation. I don't think they sold out last year and feels like they'll badly struggle to this year.
Anyone going to Akumakon / been in the past?
>>10967949They feel like a con very heavily relying on old glories. Saw the accommodation prices and feels more worthwhile to go Spain or anywhere else.
>>10967949Bluebell is shite now, no Scarman for booking, staff telling people to share single beds instead, tickets are 85 quid, likely no guests being invited again or a half-decent games room, plus sharing the venue with another event happening
>>10968038I remember last time they ran they were trying to switch attendees from one accommodation to the other. We were tipped off if you told them to keep it as is they wouldn't argue, but turns out we were sharing with another event happening. I'm wondering if accom being reduced is because we're sharing like you said. I was surprised that they were telling people to share single beds. There's already a shortage issue so they're telling people to book two rooms and then just not sleep in one of them?
What was your first cosplay? >did a closet cosplay from a hotline miami mod maybe 26 people played>most work I did was dyeing a stupid hat
10963862AMAZING post, you absolute fucking faggot
>>10963870why thank you, kind sir
>>10961695Thanks! Got to take it for a spin during dragon con. Got some pretty sweet pictures of it.
>>10841915I started wearing a cowboy hat
>>10966504love the pseudo warhammerish look on this pic, love it, maybe you could capitalize on it?
Post cosplay photos from the internet that made you go "Neat!" and maybe tell us what you like about them. Simple as.Please keep the coomer content to a minimum.
>>10967849Forgot the picture
I like the colours, I find the girl cute
>>10967854>girl
>>10967856It's a girl, fag
The serene atmosphere, nice weather, combination of their long/revealing outfits. No one said I couldn't post sexy ladies even if the source material is coomer stuff
Note this thread is for the kind of self improvement Jiraimaxxing like tips and tutorials on makeup, hair and coord styling etc, not the loser social media bully kind of Jiraimaxxing. Post all of your tips or ask questions on how to improve your look.
Does anyone have inspo pics of jirai girls with tiaras? There was some Japanese girls using them at one point but now I can't find any
i fucked up this summer and cut my hair into a bowlcut to get rid of the heat my hair brought. i bought a wig that seemed popular with other jirais on taobao. any tips on how to keep wigs well maintained?
dumbass fucking question but how do i style this dress if i need a full sports bra of tit support under
>>10964505
>>10966697Kill La Kill is basically nipslip: the outfit
If we're talking "seen at a con you've been to", then I can't say because I haven't been to one in like 15 years. If we're talking just in general online, probably one of my favs that was hot
No pics, but there was a girl at the AX Westin afterparty a few years ago who was wearing nothing on the bottom but the tiniest, lowest cut g-string I've ever seen outside of a hentai. She must have special ordered them from Japan or something because I've tried to buy stuff like that for exes and couldn't find anything close in America.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
happy mermay
>>10854523What's going on here and how do I become that dude?
>>10854523OK Ariel
I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.
Just make a CGL general on kiwifarms baka. It's a fucking clamfest over there.
>>10947046>without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.??? but 4 chan is tranny central
>>10947302>you could watch a true crime documentarytrue crime is industrial grade gossip
Thread is 1 year old today!
It must be amazing to be utterly ignorant to believe there isn't drama or bully in your precious communities....Cute. Real cute.
Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next? Consult this handy site which also lists smaller local cons:https://www.jam-cons.net/con-kalender
>>10967158I doubt lesbians are interested in meSince all I want is to watch them...
It's cool that we have a local thread! I'm going to Dokomi (same as most people here probably) but I don't have any other plans. Are any of the cons in Berlin good? I know LBM is kinda nearby and it's pretty well known, maybe I should head there.
>>10967274Berlin Mex is popular, but i haven't been yet. Am considering it this year though, and as you said I'll go to Dokomi. I would've preferred to go to Connichi because of the weather but couldn't get time off approved for it. Not a cosplayer though but going in j-fashion
There being no cons near me in the next months really saved me from buying pretty expensive clothes that I have no intention of wearing outside a costume I would look CRINGE in, unless a nuclear winter happens
SoCurrently at Kokorokon near ViennaAnyone else here?I was at the speeddatingGot no match
