Post those seagull feels.

My cosplay friend is 23 but looks about 12. We like to tease her, saying that all of her fans are pedos. Well, we might stop now... Her Discord mod didn't show up to Dragoncon. Guess what he was arrested for?

And my Etsy order from the UK cancelled.

I'm a zoomer (though im '97) we had anime clubs and cons still. Smartphones didn't really take off till late in highschool for me thankfully.

Can kids really not live without it anymore?

>cosplay

Cosplay for women is just a way to get attention from men, if they could get it in another way they would do that instead. Most women don't care about it outside of that.

Cosplay for men is mostly from the point of view of looking at it instead of taking part, it's becasue the have jerked off so much to characters from anime, video games or whatever else they get an instant boner if even a hint of that character being real comes into view.

It's like if you played wow as a teenager and jerked off daily to night elves, then some 5/10 girl is dressed up as one and you get a boner cause your brain is so fried it thinks it's your daily faptime.

It's some of the Midwest freaks that attend and won't stfu about each other. The convention itself isn't terrible but it's definitely struggling. They have grown over the years and are making better use of the space they have now, but they keep having scheduling and communication issues year after year— and the cosplay contest has has issues for the last couple. It's a decent convention but because of where it's located some very vocal shitty people who love to talk crap about each other attend

>ITT: Dating in the hobby

Seems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost.
Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.

NTA (just someone with the exact same issue), the primary flaw of a being like that isn't JUST the surgery, its the fact that they're retarded enough to even consider it. I know women are stupid innately, but its just too far.

>The drastic male to female ratio in those hobbies (90-10 most of the time) will give them insane levels of attention and the desire to jump to one of the 300 dudes in her DMs who all have at least one thing better than you is something they'll hyper focus on.
This is real as fuck, sadly. My e-famous cosplayer ex cheated on me with a guy (who she's now married to afaik) who didn't really have anything tangible on me, it was just that he'd only ever known her as that famous cosplayer and worshipped the ground she walked on, gave her nothing but positive attention and never argued with her bullshit or anything, and I guess that was enough for her.

She was sexually fucked in the opposite direction though, a hyper-vanilla dead fish with zero adventurousness.

I don't really consider that "tangible."
One way or another I have zero regrets about leaving that relationship, I dumped her before even knowing about the cheating just because she was such a toxic cunt and I couldn't deal with it anymore. I just wish I'd kicked her to the curb after the first year or so when the first cracks started showing instead of spending almost four more years continuously trying to fix the relationship, but I was young and it was my first real serious thing and had pretty serious stockholm syndrome in the same way most people on the bad end of abusive relationships usually do.
