Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby

Like almost everything, you can blame retarded moids for this

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.
>>10950778Why are UK cons so shit?
>>10957498MCM/ComicCon basically sucked up all the casuals, and the residential nerd cons self-destruct on a semi-regular basis unless they consciously stay small.
>>10957605It's hard work for fan cons to complete against commercial mass market events with day tickets. Even if most of them are Large dealer rooms with event tacked on the side, it seems that's what most of the gen-pop want.
Who /animeleague/ London (Aug 29th-Sept 1st) hereI joined their discord and the folk there seem nice, bit reddit, but I tone back my edge for emGoing on Saturday the 30th and Sunday the 1st, got hotel bookedWho tf UP
>>10957605I did MCM back in May. It was fine, but one of my friends ended up fucking ruining it for me and my other friend.DESU, will probably just stick to local cons and such, the cost was just not worth it for how little there was to actually do.
share images of your favourite maid cosplays, whether it be the cutest girls or the most fashionable and intricate designs.
OP here. Pleasantly surprised to see the thread going after all this while, despite the dearth of actual maid cosplay posts.Recently had the opportunity to visit Tokyo, and I got to visit an actual Maid Cafe! I've never gotten to see a real girl dressed as a maid and by God, did the real thing not disappoint.Went to a quaint little place called Like a Doll in Akihabara, a somewhat gothic concept Maid Cafe that had a bit of a sombre vibe unlike the cutesy cheery atmosphere of the stuff I've seen in anime. I really quite liked the designs of their maid outfits; each of the girls had a unique outfit with different motifs and colour schemes. I really expected it to be whatever cheap Amazon.jp Halloween costume tier dress they could order in bulk that the girls would wear., but upon some subsequent googling I found the clothing brand they were partnered with, DimMoire. The stuff is real quality, and the catalogue had quite a lot of the things I really like seeing in maid cosplays. They really do just do it better over in Japan. Picrel is a cosplayer wearing an outfit from the aforementioned brand. Will be looking to see if other cosplayers have incorporated any of their pieces into their outfits. I really do love maids, and I hope someday you guys too could see for yourself the peak of what the apparel can offer in the flesh. Hope you all have a wonderful day
>>10955431I didn't know this board was so slow. why do you keep visiting here?
>>10955431very nice attention to detail on the dress
>>10955433why do you?
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.
>>10951112>Im cosplaying a fairly obscure jrpg(Ive been going to cons for 10+ years and havent seen anyone cosplay it)Which one?
>>10951382Just do what you want there
don't socialize at conventions anyone you met there is not a functional member of society sex pest, rapist, pdf file, furry, retard something will be wrong with them and if you're there something is wrong w u and if you're posting here well I got news for you, you already lost
>>10957354You're a sex pest rapist furry pedophile retard
>>10908990>nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people.I know this is an old ass thread, but most people at conventions are autistic and have trouble making friends or engaging in small talk.
Haven't seen the Texas thread in over a month, so I guess I'll make one since I'm a frequent poster in themUPCOMING EVENTS (that OP remembered about): Anime Frontier - Dec 6 to Dec 8 Ikkicon - Jan 10 to Jan 12 Weebcon - Apr 18 to Apr 20 A-Kon - lolDiscuss topics about Texas cons here, such as why Anime Frontier decided to give a bunch of people free Sunday passes
>>10957597It’s in a little over 1 weekI’m on the discord server and honestly, it seems like it’s going to be a disaster. They’re still hastily trying to get everything togetherThey don’t even have volunteers yet
Any ANT impressions so far? Thinking of going Saturday.
Is there anything (legally) I can do if some anon skipped the bill on me? I booked a hotel gave the guy a room to share and he skipped the bill. He's from Florida so that might complicate things and was fluent with 4chan stuff so I thought he was cool but stopped responding on discord.
>>10958246Unless you're willing to go to small claims court in Florida, you're fucked.
Went to ANT today. Was probably the most boring con I've ever been to.
Thread for all other lolita topics and releases. Last thread fell off the board.Angelic Pretty General >>10910824Buy/Sell/Trade >>10899556Ouji General >>10868636Handmade Lolita >>10935785Kumya General >>10929865
>>10958186What brand is this? Are all their prints like this?
>>10958186This appeals to people who want to be edgy but have the imagination of a 13yo who just discovered that you can say "hell" around your parents without being arrested I don't know how brands like this stay afloat, complete garbage print and cut
>>10958192Spooky Sparkle Party I think. And yes, most if not all of them are pretty horrendous. I’ve thankfully never actually seen anyone wearing something from them, either online or irl. Maybe I just stick to areas with better taste, as if that’s hard.
>>10958221From what I see on lolibrary everything they make looks like something straight out of neopets. Not even just that the creatures drawn look like neopets designs, it's the kind of ugly clothing you can make the neopets themselves wear.
>>10958305I think the bats on this dress are endearingly ugly. I might even like them as stickers. The dress and print itself, however? Just bad. So many weird choices here that I don’t understand, yet I’d assume they’re charging similar prices as handmade or indie brands who actually do worthwhile pieces.
Lolita coords that use skirts, especially if they use cutsews or short sleeves, for warm weather.
The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.
Phil Mizuno, he's like married now to Greycos, he's so gay. He stopped cosplaying because he makes so much money at his day job.
>>10955647>Phil Mizunowhat is his day job?
>>10955116Ellie Idol
>>10955647damn I wasn't expecting "/cgl/ gulls like well built twinks" to be actually literal,
>>10955647wait, Phil is actually a butt pirate? This is hilarious because a lot of cosplay chicks I knew we're obsessed with him.
Excited to start getting stuff together to cosplay the goat next year. Just will ask gpt to help to get the best out of this simple get up.
in this heat, black roses wilt
>>10958284I wish that beautiful colored skirt had the cloth color and none of the print, or minimalist pattern-like print
Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
>>10906476Many of the people who post online about others being 'too old' for conventions are really just projecting their own regrets and justifying why they've given up on their dreams.You might not experience a con the same way a 16-year-old attending for the first time does. But is that really what you want from a convention as a more mature person? Who do you think organizes these conventions? The vendors, the artists, the staff? It's not high schoolers. Buy that high quality cosplay now that you have the money for it. Participate in competitions, you might find new meaning in the hobby. Have you considered joining as a volunteer? See if you like that.Here are a few examples that have lifted my spirits. The best cosplayer I know personally is in her mid-30s. Most participants in the top-tier cosplay competitions in my area are in their 30s. I once saw someone cosplaying an anime high schooler and assumed she was way too young to talk to. Only to later realize, through social media, that I already knew her and she’s in her late 30s. There are even regulars in their 50s who show up at every con. They do age-appropriate cosplays and are always a joy to see. Polite, creative, and passionate.Personally I love to hear stories from the con scene before I got involved, maybe do that? Don't let some ignorant 16 year old decide your future based of their own teenage angst. You grow with your passions, not out of them.
Cons are for teens and 20 year olds. If you aren't that, or mentally that then you are told old.
>>10956506so tvrue
>>10906516Just be fit and good looking Do a dilf cosplay like guts or aged ryu
>>10954239Kinda ya. Don’t dress legal if you are illegal. They didn’t dress like this in the 90s. What happened
It's been 10 years Are cons safer now?Anyone encountered any con creeps?I (male) got my butt grabbed by another guy once, didn't bother me desu (not gay)
>>10937268based
Safe? Only for men.Men destroy every space they enter.
>>10910441Incel comments but ya it’s an autism >omg they are staring because my ass and tits are out , how can this be?Even male autists are this bad
>>10914505They are so insecure that they will risk being being raped or killed just for some attentionWhat are they kids
>>10919104Creepsshot is more shot at their privates
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.
>>10954685Is it?
1095468510955883Kys already, moron
>>10865073Ironically Shatner himself actually was on one of Blue Origin's rockets.
>>10863223It's interesting, most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.Not a movie or focused on cosplay but Axanael is a great love letter to otaku culture. One of the routes starts with a gunfight at comiket because someone doesn't cant get the doujin they need.
>>10958082>most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.I get that it's a difference in culture, but that is still so trippy to me. From my experience, American cons go on way into the night and then have after-parties across hotels, bars, and even parks for late night raves. The idea of calling it a day at 4pm boggles my mind.
Anyone else going to Fanexpo Canada this month?
Not unless emma will be there
