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.

>ANIME: 2.5 Dimensional Seduction

I feel like this anime/manga is far more cosplay-centric than My Dress-Up Darling.

My Dress-Up Darling Spoilers:
Somewhere after the hotel scene, I feel like they stopped focusing on cosplay and more on the drama between the different characters. This isn't bad, but it feels like the cosplay aspect of it is being put on the backburner.

Where as 2.5 Dimensional Seduction has been pretty consistent with focusing on cosplay and does it's best to keep it that way, regardless of what direction the plot is going.

Also, the anime has a lot of fanservice, but it is very censored compared to the manga.

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.

the type of women that go to conventions are also typically the type to act like a deer in headlights around men and life in general (so many zoomer chicks I know don't even have driven licenses into their 20s because "muh anxiety") and they're functioning off the logic that any man is a potential creep/rapist
cosplayer girls are way more likely to be anxious/BPD/flaky, they're shit even as platonic friends because of how much they love starting drama. just hangout with other guys
>>
>>10942266
Yeah
I don't know how this can be remedied.
Perhaps it's just a lost cause.
We're gonna see another 'lost generation' soon, because this isn't just in the weeb/cosplay/nerdy geeky community.
Be it Zoomer or Millennials or eventually Gen Alpha, as they are also shaping up to be insufferable.

>>10908990
They're likely too nervous to stick around. It would help if you started to talk about CSM with them, like "who else do you like from CSM" or something. Sounds like you had a really great cosplay to get that many pictures. Is there a CSM photoshoot at the con? You'll have better chance to talk to people there with a shared common interest off the get go.

I'm in another part of the world where I cosplayed as the weekend in a con. Nearly 100 people took a pic with me, nobody talked. It's a post social media issue where people both lack social skills and are afraid to embarrass themselves.
I thought about it for sometime and the only solution is to engage in convo with them when they come to take a pic of you, if they leave anyway then it's fine, if they stuck around and you guys ended up talking then there you go

It feels pointless going to cons alone. I just went to Otakuthon yesterday and I saw tons of people, I went to panels, I had tons of nice conversations, interactions and pictures, but it hurts knowing I'll probably never see any of these people again. The only real long interaction I had was with a guy playing Go with me and some other people, but beyond that, it never moved outside of small talk and compliments.

I'm still happy that I probably talked to over a 100 strangers in one day, something most people who are lonely fail to do, but being alone in a crowd truly hurts.

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

Yeh there's a group who host con parties all over and the easiest way I recognize their room (aside from the big Maryland flags) is all the Costco stuff. Oh and bringing it back to booze cuz this problem is more common than it needs to be: IPAs are *NOT* party drinks. to be desu

full offense but Canadian cons have been ezmodo compared to other ones
You gotta look deeper if you cant make friends in the literal easiest setting to meet people who have the same interests as you and are there to have a good time.

I am from /tg/ but I am hoping people can help me with my questions about the Baird Center which has hosted anime conventions in the past. I go to a convention called Adepticon, and this year will be the first year at the Milwaukee Baird Center. I have some questions about the convention and I am hoping people here can help!
>How big is the parking garage?
>Are the rest rooms nice and clean?
>How is safety, do I have to worry about my car getting broke into, mugged near the con?
>Is the hall open 24-7 or does the whole building shut down at night?
>Any good restaurants in the area?
>Any important info I need to know about the convention center?

My wife and I will go two days and we plan to drive back and forth since we only live 90 minutes away. My concern is if the parking garage will fill up, last Adepticon in IL had 8K to 10K attendees. My other worry is safty, I know this center is about 3 minute walk from the bad part of town. And I am going to have a big case with with 40K models in it, so I am worried about car break ins, or people trying to steal models at the con. Any info is greatly appreciated!

>>10946501
Ment to say 35 minute walk from the bad part of the city.

Ignore the low quality
this is the hasbro black series kylo ren helmet
it used to have shoddy electronics inside and a blurry plastic windshield in the eyes so I removed the voice changing electronics put in some Velcro attached foam blocks and a plastic mesh for mascot suits in the eye hole
I also carefully painted a burn like effect around the cheeks for more accuracy
Then I also sanded down the bumpy texture and spray painted it with gloss clear coat plasti-dip

is being into cosplay at age 30+ cringe?

This is the right answer. Giving a shit if a bunch of teenagers and people posing as teenagers on 4chan think you're cringe is the true cringe. Just go have fun.

I'm in my mid-30s and haven't been able to cosplay in about 10 years due to my job (I travel a ton), but that's changing now, and I'm excited to get back into it. Shit sucks in the world, just have some fun while you can.

I'm gonna be 34 this year. When I hit 30 I pretty much lost everything. Going to cons feels awkward as hell now. Everyone seems way to young for me now and everyone else my age has someone they love and are settling down with. Just staring at all the 30+ cosplayers who have someone in their lives just makes me feel worse.

Lol you think adults with children don't have hobbies? God you're going to be that one boring neighbor who wants to talk about your lawn all the time.
>>
>cringe
I hate how unspecific the term is because at it's core it mainly means a type of overexcited for or against something.

Being into cosplay at 30 doesnt necessarily entail being being 'too into' it. You absolutely can be overbearing about it, like making it your entire personality but most cosplayers still in the scene at that point tend to either be pretty normal about things.
If they just got into cosplay in their 30s? Probably gonna be cringe.
>>
>>10946315
He's not entirely wrong, most cosplayers I know that had kids arent active at cons. Most just engage with cosplay social media or other 'communities' and be some overbearing boomer with unsolicited advice. Really doesnt help when so many are disconnected from current scene.

Its actually hilarious sometimes seeing boomers that cosplayed maybe like 10 times max and last time/con was 8 years ago still thinking they're 'in the scene' because they can comment on cosplay that comes across their IG or tiktok every so often.
