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
I miss the Ita threads too.
>>10974162there is nothing stopping anyone from making a thread
Are they against TOS now or something?
>>10974147This board is just dead. Everyone interested in these hobbies has long since moved on to normal social media/discord/whatever. Look around, there are threads still in the catalog that are over 3 years old. Like, go ahead and make a thread if you want to, but you'll probably just be talking to yourself.
This is the new ita thread. Post the itas
Thoughts on this cosplay?
Average store bought Spiderman zentai suits?

Old thread is capped >>10868636This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

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+
>>10967750If girls wearing provocative clothing show up at a children's event, they should be raped.
>>10968045It makes sense: “I'll let you go to the convention half-naked if you let me fuck you.”
>>10968220It's just that those stupid parents who don't pay attention to what their kids are probably seeing online—those kids are surely already watching some porn online, and when they saw you, they simply felt desire. How sad.
Lets kids be at cons but only with the parents' understanding they may see some adult stuff, don't make it anyone else's problem.People should be most concerned about what kids are seeing on their phones or tablets, a little T&A at a con won't hurt them.
I hope kids are always allowed at cons because seeing cute young girls in cosplay is like half the reason I go. If kids stop coming to cons, how else am I gonna beat off in my hotel room while thinking about come sexy little Nezuko or Kanna that I saw on the con floor?
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>10969232this is the one I always think of
>>10964082>3. Dealing with them getting bored of events after ten minutes and having to leave the area or look at stupid shit on their phones like kids grabbing for an iPadThis isn't unique to zoomers, if anything my mid-30s friends are even worse. They'll insist on leaving a fun party or whatever after 15 minutes to go smoke cigarettes/weed by themselves in a parking lot for an hour.
>>10964082Everyone lives online now so they are never taught their words and actions have consequences, nor are they taught how to properly fight back. They think they can just do whatever they want and at most block someone or just delete their accounts and start over the next day. They don't ever have to take accountability for anything they do and worse yet is that when it does start to effect them in real life them, or the abusers can just say "Lol the internet isn't real nerd!" and everyone will just shrug and let it go.
>>10908957I'm nearly 40 and I talked to someone half my age because he recognized my Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA shirt, and then we dove into small indie Japanese wrestling promotion talk.It's only weird if you make it weird.
>>10969293Woe unto he who giveth the deranged foid a chance
There's an anime convention next month and I'm thinking of going. I want to cosplay as Akira from Eden of the East. Would I be allowed in if I cosplayed pic rel? I would tape a white piece of card to my front so nobody sees my dick and only my butt would be visible
1. you're not a fuckable slut who can wear a gantz plugsuit but with only the straps. Essentially, you don't have foid privilege.2. You will get detained or arrested for nudity.3. You will banned from the local cons.
This bait is stale
>>10973895You're about 15 years too late if you want to cosplay something like this at an anime convention, but right on time if you want to cosplay something like this at a hentai convention (which are growing in number for some reason)
>>10973895part of the canon is that his dick is big and that's how he avoids getting arrested. can you even do it?
>>10973955I live in Republic of Ireland and public nudity is legal here if your intention is to not cause offense.
Previous thread: >>10850236Instead or recapping a 2 year long slow thread, allow me to recap 2 years of Dutch conventions and they're current state:>Animecon lost half their visitors, is slowly falling to irrelevancy and going through severe financial problems (again)>Tomo started to ficus more on the fairs, is now rebranding to Japanfest and already went on a "ruined reputation" speed run>Viencon has grown a lot, learned drugs are bad m'okay, and it wont be long until they can rent out the entire Center Parcs location>Abunai! is somehow still standing tall and winning by not doing anything>Nishicon is a decline, had maybe 50 visitors this year and pulled the plug>Ibaricon came onto the scene but proven itself problematic to work with>Elfia is no longer welcome at Castle De Haar>Castlefest remained comfy to this very day>Heroes Dutch Comic Con and Made In Asia are going stronger than ever>Comic Con Holland came onto the scene and is growing fast despite some backlash>Aniway, a Dutch anime magazine, ended their run after 24 years.>Nintendo is tired of there being 9001 Poké-cons using their IP and took actionComment too long.

>>10970161I was worried the stage venue wouldn't be able to handle Coda, but it went surprisingly well! Had a great time.Was fun seeing an IOSYS member live too.Broodfabriek still doesn't really work as a location. It inexplicably manages to both feel too cramped and spacious at the same time. Like the main landing spots for people are too small, and the complete open floorplan of the places like the EXP area and the gaming room just feels overly messy. Noise has been an ongoing issue with all events and lectures because everything is always near something loud. (karaoke, popup stage, and lecture rooms so close to each other is the worst offender)On the other hand, I get the idea they had with the dividers showing art to block off the artist signing area, but it made the entrance to the dealer room feel weirdly cluttered and ugly. Like they'd never finished actually setting it up. But they've struggled with how to divide spaces in that back area since the start. I don't think there's much you can do except move venues againOutside of that, I had a great time.
I also enjoyed Animecon this year.Glad they improved the outside space. In the past years it felt like some lost tents and benches on a parking lot but with the addition of the big parasols and the bar and food court it felt nice to hang out.Also liked how they are giving more space to experimental stuff on the pop up stage. I think some new ideas for new audiences are important to keep Animecon alive right now.The broodfabriek will never be the world forum and we will never go back but I'm starting to come to terms with it now.
>>10961852Any updates? I used to follow them and visited a few times, so I’m curious to know what happened. They seem to be doing fine on social media and actually cleaned up their marketing a bit, so good for them. Still, would love to hear the tea
abunai is in a week anons, are we ready to party?

can someone explain wtf there is to do at metro? the schedule this year seems so lame
>>10973989You don't want to sit through a lecture on fascists appropriating anime culture?Or a rundown of the entire Naruto universe?Or ranking of every date everything character?Yeah it all looks like total complete shit
>>10973891I was there, got a amazing deal on a Haruhi figurine that came with the ps2 game, Goblin Market is good if you want to have a good filler episode between cons you have planned>>10973989It looks so bad that I have changed my plans from a full weekend event to just Saturday, sucks because this will be my first Metro and it is already looking like a subpar time
>>10974024That's great, glad you had a good time and got a good deal. I was the volunteer in the princess bride ass shirt and enjoyed a giant ass power up lemonade. Reconnected with some people I met at a local bar last month so that was great. Gobmart is kind of like a con scene kind of not, you get to keep meeting up with people that go regularly as well as rando locals you've probably talked to before
>>10970558same anondang dude i just spoke too soon cuz im skipping metrofeels unreal cuz ive been going to this con for years now and im ngl theyre really getting on my nerves>>10973989oh my god do not get me started on this fuckass schedule 90% of it is cosplay making related stuff all for this just for people to go in casual outfits who approved of this garbage i hope next year i can show up
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.
A nearby con has a voice actor guest I'd be mildly interested in seeing, which is a first for me.I'm thinking about meeting them for the novel experience, but what do you even do when you meet a voice actor? Is it appropriate to try to talk to them in Japanese or what is a standard interaction?I'm not really a real fan, I just like a character they have voiced.
>>10972093Make sure to invite them to your room party
>>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)
I want to cosplay as Chainsaw Man, which costume do you recommend? My friends say I look cute and should give it a try idk
See: >>10972293
What else? Put a chainsaw on a helmet.
Cute doggo

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.
It must be amazing to be utterly ignorant to believe there isn't drama or bully in your precious communities....Cute. Real cute.
Shit like this is why im too afraid to get into lolita fashion despite desperately wanting too
