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.
>>10941249Incorrect, bot bro. Also KYS
>>10907375>first convention and first cosplay>Just resting a bit while sit against a wall because I'm tired>a guy comes asking me if He could take pictures>Neat.jpg>Does the "photoshoot">He ask for my instagram, I give it to him>... Nothing after 2 monthWhy would this dude take picture of me and get my instagram if he doesn't send them to me? Did he forget about me? I wanted my damn pictures even if my cosplay was really crappy dammit
>>10941616Don't take it personally, con photographers are some of the dumbest slack jawed fucks you've ever seen
>>10941616don't feel bad, anon. he probably took shitloads of photos and lost track of who was who. it's an easy thing to dodid you get his contact info? if so, try reaching out
>>10941621Sadly no, he only took my contact.I might leave instagram after a while because I fucking hate facebook, so I hope he will contact me at one point
Kumoricon happens on November 8th to November 10th 2024 in Portland, Oregon>Are you going?>Do you have a hotel?>What's your cosplay lineup >Stories from Kumoricons past>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)Me, the humble OP? I'm going to be partying hard.
>>10941254But you can't fix that lap. Nobody can.
>>10941212>>10941217what if i dont drink though?
>>10941312then you have to raw dog your way into confidence. i don't envy you that task. i'm certainly no good at it, but you can be
>>10941131First I'm hearing of it. I might go.
>>10941098Hey Mr DuBois, some friendly advice if I may? A revised section in your *article* that tells spergs to drop their pretenses about feeling superior than "normalfags" or that dropping the "Can't do it" attitude is step 1 2 and 3
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)
>>10941488Final (You), don't let it go to waste
>>10941490>>10941486>>10940182I got my peaches out in Georgia (oh yeah, shit)I get my weed from California (that's that shit)I took my chick up to the North, yeah (badass bitch)I get my light right from the source, yeah (yeah, that's it)
>>10910436Still con creeps but I think cons are safer now. It's way better when women consent to touching you
>>10941491K you win this round but dont getting no funny ideas ya here As You Wer LG x
So I've been creep stared or touched by some horny dudes but only now have I finally seen other people getting offended on my behalf. Starting with a question to me>Is your skin particularly smooth?>I dunno, not really sure>See lass reaching out from my peripheral vision for a split second before>WHAT NO DON'T DO THAT!!!!>.....Didn't say a word. A lot of people don't even ask to touch and I'm mostly fine with it but this was just a lel moment as the screamers were uhhh *not in shape* shall we say
Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby
>almost 50>still showing off the tatasIs this based?
>>10939879I bet she still looks amazing naked. Too bad that face is just eye watering.
>>10939879crazy that she's 48 now
>>10854442This isn't new, the hobby has been hijacked by normie sluts int it for easy nerd bucks like a decade ago
>>10936761>cosplays of minor charactersI see adult cosplayers being attacked over doing this and it's so retarded and ridiculous, especially since these characters often don't even come from "family friendly" media which is also what you're mad about. Also learn how to separate reality from fiction, fictional characters can't have "ages"
You are planning on attending a comic con, photoshoot event, or what have you, and you decide to cosplay as your favourite character or a character that you have been hyperfixated over for unhealthy amount of time. You put a cosplay together and the day comes.WOMP WOMP literally no one has recognised who you are cosplaying at least to your knowledge. It sucks but you are also glad that at least a handful of strangers asked you what you are cosplaying as and you tell them. Another one of the pros is... fans won't bother you and let you take rest and eat whenever you want. It does nothing when you post it on instagram but you get the clicks and appreciation when you post it on the subreddit for your cosplay. It sucks but at the end of the day, I wouldn't want to have cosplayed as anyone else.Have you done any cosplay that was too niche for its own good?
same situation with Ageha from butterfly affection LOL
>>10941395Didn't take it to a con, but I went as Rick Deckard to a Halloween party.
>Fourteen people were arrested and 10 victims were rescued in a human sex trafficking sting at San Diego Comic-Con Convention.>The San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a three-day operation ahead of the weekend bust, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release on Tuesday, adding that among those rescued was a 16-year-old girl.>Law enforcement officers went undercover as sex buyers to identify and arrest traffickers, as well as find potential victims, according to the attorney general's officers.>Undercover police also posted ads seeking sex as part of the operation.
>>10939762>childrenI lost my virginity at 15. Was I raped or was I the rapist?
>>10939767If an adult was involved, that's called statutory rape.
>>10939767depends if you lost to a female or not
>>10939772The law is meant to uphold morals, not the other way around. So the actual question is, was it immoral and wrong and if so to what extreme was it morally wrong?
>>10941557Ok pedophile.
ive like never cosplayed b4 at all nd i LOVE stocking SO MUCH but i have no idea where to get the outfit and stuff… everywhere online is so expensive and/or just shitty material. would i be better off making it myself? im not sure how 2 go about it lol XD
>>10897155
Is cosplaying a 2D anime guy cringe ?
>>10941530you realise 90% of cosplays are 2D right? are you new to this or just fucking retarded
>>10941543Stupid question threads accompanied by a photo usually have ulterior motives. Retarded drama / beef is the obvious guess
>cosplaying not because you like the character, but because you want to get laidbased or cringe?
>>10940377Why not both?
>>10940584/thread
>>10940584yeah>Like the character>Really like who he gets shipped with>Cons are always a great time of pretend in-character interactions and flirting
In my case, I want to cosplay one, before it gets coolGregor Eisenhorn from Eisenhorn (Warhammer 40k)GW announced a series way before they announced they team up with Amazon
>>10940377Welp, I want to cosplay, because I like to imagine it makes sucking dicks more interesting. No pun intended.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
>>10933902She looks good but just having a skirt you walk in for a cosplay isn't being a mermaid in the same sense as having a tail.>>10934760This works. Homemade tails like this as opposed to actual bought tails makes me think this is either old or they're just crafty.
>>10937463cmon sir, dont wear that sash. I want to see your tail and midsection
What are some cosplay stories that you'll remember for the rest of your life?Wholesome: Cosplaying some My Little Penis characters with my then-gf when a little girl started freaking out over how great we looked. She got her dad to take loads of pictures with both of us.Less wholesome: I saw a fur-suiter yelling at his wife.Least wholesome: Walking to the convention center behind my friend's sister in her Sailor Saturn cosplay, on a windy day. She either didn't notice or didn't care that her bare ass was playing aggressive peekaboo with me. Only time I've ever wanted the walk from the hotel to be longer.Sad: I was at Twitchcon when that lady broke her spine.
>>10852893We can tell
>>10853114do you really believe what you read on 4chan? online?
>>10885621>basic adult reservationswhat mean?
>>10893473>implying that anime wasn't normalized by 2000
>>10941387>pregnancy and herpes epidemickek
>D Piddy (the Deadpool cosplayer you've probably seen around) cosplays as P Diddy>makes a video of him raping a Justin Bieber cosplayer at TsumiconIs this acceptable? Should he be banned from the con?
>>10941033Yeah I could edit those 12 minutes down pretty succinctly >hi everyone >I made a joke cosplay that was in extremely poor taste >it sounded funny on paper but execution not so much>I'm deeply sorry for my actions and I apologize if I upset you>the video will not be uploaded >I will never do something like that again and will think more carefully next time I brainstorm skit ideas
>>10940315These people really need to stop apologizing, especially to people that don't care if you apologize. Make a joke, make people laugh, and ignore those who don't. If you get banned from a venue, then fuck those guys and be a man somewhere else.>>10940432>Bro you CANNOT make jokes that are funny because the year is now DIFFERENTI dressed up as pedobear the other day. A woman recognized it and appreciated the get-up. I will never stop making the jokes I want because some nobodies said to. Even if a somebody said to stop I wouldn't because fuck that guy.
>>10940432I saw some chick get mad at Chris Chan cosplayers because "they're cosplaying a rapist". If the masses didn't want edgy content these edgy ecelebs would've never been famous in the first place. Stop listening to a vocal minority that just want to humiliate you and will never accept your apology
>>10941436>I dressed up as pedobear the other daymy local con has him banned as a "pro pedophilia mascot/message, ex: pedobear"
>>10941448It sounds like the mgmt cited this, LOL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLAn92F38oI

I wanna say I miss you guys, but at this point I'm not sure any of the people I miss are still here.
how tf do people get so much exp in mcc
Are the lvl.300 people in DG botting or are they just dedicated? Been playing for almost 10 years and I'm still under 200 because I can't be bothered to talk to my friends' girlfriends every day. Also I'm sick of the fantasy events and monthly themes we've been getting recently.

I am at NYCC as a vendorI am trying to keep up with the sheer amount of people and hope we don't run out of inventory before the end of tomorrow. And try to shout out any obscure costumes that I recognize
>>10939456if ya see anythin' interesting, don't hesitate to post 'bout it(tho it's best you ask permission before taking pis)
>>10939549Interesting that the convention ended four hours ago and we're still waiting for a forklift to come get our shit
