Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?
Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?
OR is it because I'm male?
How do you even make friends at a con?

I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people.

There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.

Yo I think I saw you. pop con? Nice cosplay
>>
>>10908990
i go to cons in uk and switzerland often, i am too autistic to know what to say or start a conversation after asking for a picture, even if the cosplay is really cool or the cosplayer seems nice. ive had a couple of quick conversations when the other person has started them but i usually panic and cut them short. i imagine this is the case for many others as well. i wish i was able to make more friends at cons, and im sure peoples behaviour in the past was nothing to do with you
>>
>>10908990
My way of socializing is a bit strange, i usually go to cons by train so most of the friends i've made at cons where people i've met in the train! But maybe it's because I go with friends so i don't get the chance to met other ppl at the con

You have to be non brown also. Not racist, just want the cosplay to be semi accurate.

new to the fashion, looking for stores that sell coats. Tips regarding not freezing to death at winter are also welcome

Ita means "so bad it hurts to look at". If you're just interested in getting some lolita coats just ask for recommendations for stores that sell lolita coats.
This could have also just been posted in the j-fashion stupid questions thread, it's a bit too basic to warrant its own thread.

basically what the title is; I’ve been cosplaying since before the pandemic and cons don’t feel as friendly as they used to /: I still get asked for pictures somewhat regularly… but what cosplays would make you want to approach someone not only for pics but also small talk. Pls don’t say Makima, Kobeni, Mitsuri, Marin etc etc
>>
>>10940721
That has nothing to do with your cosplay, you need to modify your personality.
>>
Genshin Impact characters, Honkai Star Rail characters, Zenless Zone Zero characters, 2B cosplays, Pokemon cosplays, Arknights cosplays

Also when people take pictures with you, touch them

Any landmines on here? Post inspo, aesthetic pics, outfits, hair, nails and general jirai pics

the subreddit is full of idiots that are incapable of using google, but it is inoffensive because it's all about clothes. 90% of people on that subreddit can't dress (the ones that can dress know they look better than the other girls so they post for engagement), but it's better than the twitter community. the twitter community is a cesspit full of teenagers that don't post coords and think that having destructive tendencies makes them real jirai girls KEK

I've been an outsider looking in on this subculture for several years. https://twitter.com/i_mesugaki__/ is eye of the storm for the more sadder Toyoko side of it.

I hate how Tiktok and influencers in general bundle up subcultures to sell to people in small, neat packages like this, resulting in nothing more than a surface level understanding by their audience who eats it up. They're wearing a costume, not clothing.

I've been working on a couple of projects lately though. First up, a HEMA/SCA fencing bollock dagger. Dickstabs forever!

We're approximately two months out now. Anime Weekend Atlanta is from December 12th, 2024 to December 15th, 2024. The venue has moved from the Cobb Galleria to the Georgia World Congress Center. Who all is attending? Any cool panels being hosted? What will you be cosplaying as?
29 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.

I've been going since 2015 and I don't plan on ever not going, although I'm seething over the venue change. The Galleria is damn near perfect for the convention and most of the issues could be solved with better management and planning. Ironically, last year seemed like it had the best crowd management of all the AWA's I've been to. Hope the GWCC is even 1/3rd as good as the Galleria, but since it's Hall C and not the MomoCon hall, I'm not optimistic. I've got friends ready to abandon AWA in favor of HolMat but I'm hearing that it's likely going to be even worse. My friends are hosting a couple of panels but mine got declined. I'll be Doctor Strange one day and Captain Kyoraku on another. Looking forward to it not being the boiling hell outside that it was during MomoCon.
>>
>>10940879
Swing by the mahjong room if you want to learn some, in the very least receive a brofist. Still deliberating what I'll cosplay.
>>
>>10940879
Agree completely. When I think of AWA I think of the Galleria. Last year totally resolved all the venue issues. I started going in 2021, the lines for badge pickup were awful each year. Once you got in everything was fine though. I think saying "AWA outgrew the convention center" is more an admission of "we don't know how to properly manage a convention".

In spite of all of this AWA is my favorite con so I'm still looking forward to it, just hesitant to see how the vibe and culture of the con changes with this move.
>>
>>10941009
My thoughts exactly. Last year they changed a few things they should have changed a long time ago. Lobby conners were a huge issue until last year when it was fine.
>I think saying "AWA outgrew the convention center" is more an admission of "we don't know how to properly manage a convention".
I whole heartedly believe this as well. The Braves stadium moving to Cumberland likely put more pressure on the Waverly to increase room prices in October, but all AWA had to do was negotiate the convention into November and there would be no threat at all of Braves games interfering. Admittedly, the AWA King seems like the kind of guy that gets really pissy really fast and you could tell he has serious beef with the hotel.
>>
>>10937937
The Cobb Galleria was what made AWA special for me and is terribly tied to its identity, I'm sad I missed the last couple of years there. I'll be going this year anyway because I'm tired of missing it but like everyone else I have no idea how much the venue is actually going to change the vibes; for one, I'm going to miss being able to make a quick trip to my room for changing so I'm probably going light on cosplay. I can't decide whether it's worth it to spring the extra ~$150 to stay at Signia versus the Omni which looks several buildings away. I'm not fat or anything I just know the inconvenience adds up over a weekend and starts to affect decision making.

is being into cosplay at age 30+ cringe?

Then all manga, anime artists, directors, organizers should stop going tons because they are over 25. Your logic is the same as all games are only for younger gamers. Say this again when you reach 26. Make sure you stop being an otaku by 26.

>>10853166
You should see Asian cosplayers in Asia.Although there are many good cosplayers in the west. Seems like if your friend is into other interests/hobbies, it will be the same.
