>ITT: Dating in the hobbySeems 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.

>>10961180>Seems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby.this isn't limited to cosplay specifically, you're going to see this in most pursuits, and it gets worse the deeper down a rabbithole your fandom is.its not just the pool shrinks. its that your tastes are going to clash more as you specialise. and most people under 35 are showing increasing sings of interpersonal conflict management social problems.
>>10964500>just>ask>them>outIt's harassment if you do it without an ioi
I went to AX last year, I actually had a couple girls come up to me and ask me about my cosplay. One of them asked for my number, and we eventually started talking over Discord. But, we didn't really get much further than that.
I workout, cosplay, and spend hundreds on photogs to post on instagram just to reject/ignore women who try to hit on me. I hate women so much it's unreal.

I-Con 2003
>>10898804Oh yeah...I remember...conventions used to be some goofy harmless fun for some dorks instead of a place for sex workers to drum up business.
>>10919312>>10919440I thought the same thing, at the time too.I saw her in that cheap-ass lazy outfit and knew that the age of innocence of conventions was over, never to return.
>>10966213Usagi Kou!
>>10966213>no slutwhoresoh jo!
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
Running solo, how do you make friends with people who are clearly already in a 'clique?' Relatively new to the scene but it seems hard to approach a lot of people since they're already busy doing their own thing with their friends.
>>10956595Id spray her tits in cum and slap her across the face like the whore she is
>>10902493Its in the discords where everyone circlejerks and grooms the unaware newbies
>>10902493I bet things are even worse nowBut the chart gone from the site
>>10956892Cons are bigger than ever but it lost soul in the process.Many arent doing it for the love of the game but for IG likes or to promote their OF. Or worse, they just peruse the con floors looking for 'content' to put online.Everyone having a video camera on them killed con culture. Its helped minorly to knock out various creeper behavior but in turn created a whole different kind of creep behavior and just generally sucks all the fun out of the room. My cosplay isnt your content, me being at the con is not consent to be featured in your latest video.
Do they let crackers in here?
Pull up and find out
>>10968098I am rather tempted, in all honesty. It's a bit of a drive away so I'd be taking a bit of a gamble with my weekend. It doesn't appear they have a venue yet and it's their first year so I question if it will actually take place. Projected attendance: 10,000-20,000. I find that doubtful.
>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay God-damned be Demon slayer and those trendy stuff, I want to see big tactical butts and awesome costumes.
>>10825168I do a legit Big Boss cosplay with custom dyed BDU's and real Vietnam-era surplus gear but no one gives a shit cause I'm a guy
>>10831708If it works that would be the kewlest. You'd definitely win a cosplay contest

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.
>>10908220this is actually harder to pull logistically than it sounds because prudes in the con and non con goers in the hotels. Getting a corner room with large floor space and kitchenette for drinks and seats bringing all the equipment and shit. Actually turning the music up without some fuck wit 20 year old knocking on the door>uhhh I have a panel about cross stitching at 7 am tomorrow and really need to get sleep we already have 3 might attendsfucking stupid ass dad who went on vacation and didn't check if the hotel had any events going on>hey I only have 3 days of vacation a year and spent 40 thousand dollars to see *insert shitty tourist attraction* with my wife's kids I'm gonna tell on you
Is lobbyconning worth it or will it just be boring without being able to go inside?
>>10968014Depends on the con.Katsucon? Absolutely.Collossalcon? Absolutely (if you have the water park pass).Magfest? Probably notOtakon? Probably not.
>>10968079>water park>pass
>>10968079whats the difference between magfest and katsucon? dont they happen at the same venue?

>>10967638>>10967641Whoa!
Is barefoot cosplay ever acceptable?If you are walking around at a con?
>>10963833 Here>>10964861Yep it looked like that.
>>10963707this girl constantly had to get her feet cleanedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrz1wLMCrJ8
probably a bad idea
I'm 28. Is it possible to make friends my age at cons?
>>10968022Yes but not at 27 or 29
>>10968023That sucks. I'm 29 and I was gonna go to a convention this year.
>>10968022Yeah, source: I'm also 28 and I've done so several times at this age.
Is it possible? Yeah. Is it possible without trying? No. You didn't imply that anywhere, but had to be sure since so many who asked this question before do just that
It is. Quick and dirty option: host room party. You'll always find people down for Smash and alcohol.Effort option: volunteer during downtime. Helps if you can get a gig that isn't badge check or line control.
I’m new here btw I wanna know ur opinion (no hate plz :c )
>>10967932why is this bitch in the Backstreet Boys Milennium album cover
>>10967932dam I wont even jerk off to this

>>10967970Why aren't you?
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.Previous:>>10941913
This one girl, I didn't think she was especially attractive. Then I saw her cosplay the sun guy from Dark Souls, and... honestly, she's lowkey kinda bad.
>>10959992>start working on a Speed-O-Sound Sonic cosplay to wear for OPM S3 release>its [spoiler] latex [/spoiler] so it's lore accurate (and also a shitload of work)>S3 gets delayed>finally S3 comes out>its shit>sonic only shows up for 3 seconds and does absolutely nothing>season is completely shit anyway>even the Saitama cosplayers aren't really showing up (probably because he's barely in S3 as well)All that effort, wasted...
>>10968075well, at least you can still go to the bdsm club
>>10966883I cosplay Celty from Duarararararararara and get absolute shitloads of requests for photos every time. Like can't walk 20 feet without another photo. That anime hasn't aired for 10 years.
>>10968076Yeah i can do that with Chat Noir already.
Can anyone vouch for this websitehttps://www.cosercosplay.com/naruto-momochi-zabuza-cosplay-costume-p-248.html Uhhhhh I'm a fairly muscular male and the dimensions don't have an exact fit for me. I've never cosplayed before and this would be a great one for me to show off my gains but I have no idea if it's a costume of quality which is also important to me. If this website is known trash, could any anon share their alternative for it?
>bf says he’ll take me to a lolita fashion store >ask if it is a sweet lolita, classic lolita or gothic lolita fashion store>he laughs and says it’s a nice store>go with bf>it’s kawaii fashion
>>10960115yeah!
why do you let this subhuman bump this bait thread eternally?do something you fucking faggot
>>10920890holy fucking simp
>>10920890kill yourself you indian faggot
>>10920890>The only exception to all of this is if he buys cringey materialistic consoomer shit for himself that's as expensive as your hobby.whatif you dont like eachothers hobbies maybe you should reconsider having a relationshipdont get me wrong I would be a bit weirded out by somebody spending half their salary on funkopops but if it is not out of control I dont see any reason to judge it over spending money on other stuff
Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?

>>10964416On the biscuit
>>10957775heeeyy mythie I hope you're doing well... That fuckass photo I took gives me flashbacks lmao. At least you didn't have two other dudes spooning eachother in that bed with you one night :(Meet people at cons beforehand and figure out if they're chill. Once you find the right people that aren't creeps and pay properly then try rooming with them again.
