She is low tier compared to some chineses and japaneses.But when compared to americans she is pretty good.Most of the female americans are fat and ugly.
>>10972637Is she perhaps working for the CCP?
>>10974663still would
>>10974663cute
>>10974663she changed from thailand to chinese skin color.
>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
>>10972542Non-American here. What's going to happen?
>>10972550Dreamcon is a pro, majority black convention. Basically, all the niggas of the cosplay community come together in Houston to celebrate cosplay in the american african way as this thread highlights in detail. Karmelo was a black boy who went to a white neighborhood's track meet, went over to another team's tent to taunt them despite not suppose to be at the meet at all, didnt move when the team told him to move repeatedly. So when the team captain, a white boy, came over to move him, Karmelo took out a knife from his book bag and stabbed him to death.He got sentenced for 35 years for murder. The black community is saying it was self defense. Everyone else with common sense see it for what it is. Dreamcon is going to be chanting his name that weekend like the hooligans they are.
>>10972542>>10972550>>10972561Black umamusumers bouta rise up, boy did a Rice Shower "Black Assassin" and will get prison time for it.
This weekend is Dreamcon. Oh boy.
>>10973540And (You) won't be there because (You) don't go to any conventions ever
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.
>>10972380just post random meme gifs
>>10972239Bluesky
>>10971139You mentioned it in your previous comment, but being in cosplay is a night/day difference for socialization at a con.I go to cons regularly, and at my local one, if I'm not in cosplay, no one is going to approach/talk to me, and I talk to them, it's usually a "oh god what do they want from me" stare.However, in cosplay, total opposite. People coming up to take pics, chat me up about the character/fandom, and everyone has on a much easier smile/lower social barrier. I can literally talk to anyone and they are like "wassup?".I think it's because there are a lot of creeps at cons, lots of dudes definitely go to try and find "cosplay GFs" and hunt them down like sharks, so people are on edge, but anyone who cosplays sort of already vetted themselves and proven that they are there for the love of the con.
I really like taking pictures but I need a flowchart for the entire interaction or I get overloaded and confused. Even if its from something I really like I won't allow myself to make small talk because it introduces too much variancealso, I used to cosplays in my 20s and I don't particularly like it when someone starts chatting me up after a picture so it reinforces my desire to not do it
I'm a prop maker so I generally lose my mind when I see crazy props and, they usually also lose their shit because I think these people are dying to have their efforts noticed.
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10972149What all happened? I wasn't able to go to Momo con this year and was bummed I couldn't see the panel.
>>10863223I'm surprised no one mentioned Fame-ish yet. It was by voice actor Jeff Nimoy (Tentomon, Wolfwood) who felt like he'll always live in the shadow of Leonard Nimoy (to get it out of the way, he doesn't resent him but is tired of the jokes because people found out they're cousins).Someone uploaded the whole thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqxrwsWHSoY
We got a trailer for the 2Kawaii4Comfort anime! I'm digging the style they decided to go with.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZS14NEutqg
>>10973473>>10970496Got to meet the creator as well as Toki-chan's actor during AX, got my badge signed by them too lol, that was pretty cool.
>>10863227Honestly if this movie didn't have the stupid demon in it and was just about LARPer interpersonal drama I think it would have been a better movie>>10899436Basically like this movie
Why won't yall stop complaining about /cgl/ being dead and do something about it instead?I mean... the amount of people who clearly miss how it used to be would probably be enough to make it at least a little better.Make more threads, interact in the existing ones, idk, just try to make it happen.(And I'm not even hating, I just really want this to change as well)
>>10974727I think its more because 4chan in general has been losing a lot of popularity recently (well since it was created lol). Newfags visit this site and see that half the boards are just middle aged gooners blaming everything on trannies and fags and posting nonstop porn and complaining about women, so they think "this site fucking sucks" and leave. They already have reddit so why bother? Doesn't help that so many people in this board are obviously pretending to be someone else (timestamping can't be that fucking hard).At least it's not as bad as /soc/ which is just a clone of /b/ atp
>just over a month away>no threadSeriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.
Let's see how long we can keep this thread alive.
I think I miss the Ontario ALA years.
>>10970180It was comfy. Did ALA really get too big for Ontario?
>>10964752Will this thread survive to see 2027?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_IyDVy9d_U[spoiler]Been meaning to share pictures but I kept putting it off, fuck me.[/spoiler]
>>10972872Only if you bump it every month
( posted on b yesterday ) my asuka cosplay arrived ! so did my haruhi cosplay, but its too small and the seller is refusing to accept an exchange >:I guess itll do for photos and videos but i dont think i can wear it to cons
>>10970780so op are u still around?
>>10973101Yeah he's right here: >>10973101
>>10970780You make a genuinely cute Asuka. Congrats.
>>10970780Nice try, but that's not an Asuka cosplay. That's Rei's outfit with Asuka's wig.
>>10970780Cute

I missed the con I shan't name two years, the one about the Equus ferus caballus, cuz I didn't know about it. I missed it last year cuz I had to be in LA. But now, it's on. And at a Disney hotel too. Tanoshimi nee.
Any other anons doing holmat this year? Gf and I are finally making it after missing it for like 3 years straight lol. Fellow holmat prospect anons add me on disc please! tern4ry
>>10974621CPqQukAp8u Join the party, breh. This is the one every year where we all turn up. I couldn't even begin to give you a full headcount but it's probably 20 on the low end. And that's not counting the lurkers
If the maid cafe at metro is going to make food and drinks on the stage floor they should just charge extra and call it feet juice
>>10974621I have no interest in being in the same timezone as anybody that thinks anything from the soulless trash ghost in the shell reboot is worth having a gif of.Please go die somewhere I can't smell you
I'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the "scene" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me.>Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay?>Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days?>I've read a lot on this board about "after hours" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like "fandom" or "pop culture" instead of specifically "fantasy" or "otaku" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more "western" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them? >Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right?>What's a "gull"? >How do you not get sick every time you go to one? >How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is "con season"?>If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes?And some more personal questions>If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money. >How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group?>How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable.Thank you for your time.
>>10972093>>10972094>now let's turn the light off
How hard is it to socialize as a masked character? The cosplay I have in mind will probably muffle my voice a lot too. Should I make it so I can remove it fast, walk around with it of and put it on for pictures or just hope that the other person can hear me?
>>10974013Which character? You have a few options, you can speak louder, use a microphone/speaker, or just use motions like nodding (can be very suitable for silent characters)
Is this why i sometimes get a weird look when i ask to take a photo of them instead of with them?
>>10907403>deoderantWhat is this shit, written by whoever handles the Ramencon website?
2 cons back to back!>Who are you cosplaying as?>What days are you going?>Who/What are you most excited to see?>Ready to have 3 days of nonstop fun?
I'll be there. We're always there ;3
Debating whether I want to cosplay or not. My fiancée and I have been going to cons as the main couple from Hi Score Girl, but only two people have recognized our characters between the last two cons we went to. Considering just going casual.>>10974681Cosplaying as that dude to offed himself at ACen a couple years ago?
>>10974708>towho*
>>10974708OH I recognized you at ACEN lmao
>>10974710Oh shiiiiiiiSpecifically in the Street Fighter 2 shirts that Yaguchi and Oono wore at the end of episode 8? Since that's the version we did. (If anyone else did HSG cosplay at ACen, that's news to me)
Anyone going to Otakuthon in a month?
anyone else went to the EN "guess that video game song" panel? with the fucking drag queen hosting it? holy shit, I walked in there as a clueless man just wanting to vibe to vidya OST and I left as a homophobe. maybe I'm just a suburb retard but this shit was so fucking cringe, I can't believe the audience was cheering him on.
>>10974679faggotry has invaded all aspects of nerd culture
>>10974682I couldn't believe it bro, I kept double checking the panel and its description and this shit didn't even have an age restriction. The dude kept twerking and making sexual innuendos every 10 seconds. I'm not a prude but it was just so much. I hate the fuckin' big city man
>>10974692Need a rural anime con where the men are not allowed to wear dresses "ironically".
>>10974525Way too late, as it just ended, but if you go near the metro exit and continue through the underground (Or exit through the back garden and enter the mall right in front) and then continue through the mall, you enter another mall with a huge food court, more choices, much more seats and usually much less people and waiting than the few restaurants around the Palais
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
>>10972549I'll be going to YuniCon
I won't go as Gregor Eisenhorn next AniniteHopefully, I start to become productive so that I can cosplay as Eisenhorn next Vienna ComicCon
>>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
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
>>10970295You might have forgotten drinking, staffing, drinking while staffing and staffing while drinking. Or maybe I've just been doing this too long, who knows?
>>10970019What's in an insult that doesn't land? Whether it's trying to blend in or real misanthropy, a good chunk of the whole site's userbase (especially on a place like /r9k/) would say that pissing off normalfags is a badge of honor to them. For the few people we have left on this board, their flavor is "X is what I feel you must do with your life path and you'll earn my eternal IRE if you don't hold to that", as worthless as that is. QRD: It's all autism, ignore sticks in the mud, ???, profit
>>10959877you shouldn't be at an event for kids and young adults. you know how old is too old.
>>10970822look up, zoomershit. you blind?
>>10970836Yes I am blind, in fact.
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
I like gooning to this, don't know it is cosplay tho
>>10973071Anyone know who she is?
>>10973071shiiieeeet
>>10973071Who is that?
>>10973108>>10973349lolyomie on ig
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.
I'm going with my kid. This'll be our fourth year. Really good con, nice size, nice venue.
>>10974687agreed!
