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.

the characters are nearly impossible to cosplay, let alone well. homestuck was popular to cosplay because almost all of the designs were just jeans and a t shirt, so any kid who could get their hands on some modelling clay could do it.

exactly. and the blankness that comes with such a simple design allowed cosplayers to customize and get creative with shit. hazbin designs are so overcrowded and hard to look at. too many details and none of them interesting. also red facepaint is harder to conquer than gray

Have cons all adopted the ways of hiring out a Maid Cafe company to act as idols or do any still have staff volunteers that rely on hotel or convention center food and bev?

Do you prefer an inclusive ticketed special event style or a space for buying menu items from maids

Are anime con maid cafes fun? Why?

They're becoming more like burlesque troupes in a way, with the performers doing it for their own enjoyment and for the cheers from other girls in the audience instead of appealing to the stereotype male coomer audience for these things. It's more fun to have a cute girl as a cafe maid over a fat/ugly one? Yeah, and it's more fun to have a cute girl as your audience too instead of a fat/ugly/awkward man.

This. You're lucky if any given girl is not a landwhale

I never went to these as I wasn't old enough but I've heard that conventions used to be more fun. Actual nerds going there having a good time.

No social media attention whores trying to get clout

Of course like all things it was more fun when it was more obscure. Nowadays even small hole in the wall cons feel like they're wall to wall with people (and "influencers") to the point where there's zero sense of camaraderie between attendees and no one looks like they're actually enjoying themselves. Hell, sometimes I wonder if most of the people attending cons nowadays even like or watch anime. It feels like there's nothing new or interesting anymore. It's all either hyper mainstream shit that's been around for years (DBZ, One Piece, Pokemon, etc.) or FOTM shit (e.g. Chainsaw Man, Dandadan).

>>10936137
It doesn't help that the English VA circle feels like it's less than 30 people because of union bullshit the top dogs like Mercer and JYB use to gatekeep. You hear the same handful of voices in everything dubbed nowadays and they give the same phoned-in performances for everything because they know no one is actually watching dubs anymore.

You sound like you have some sort of mental issues. You do know that the only point to doing anything you don't have to do is for it to be enjoyable and fun. That includes things like Lolita. If you're not having fun stop spending a fortune and do something else.

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?

it works out well as long as you're aware of what your roommates plan to use the room for....

a party till 6am? annoying as FUCK and people keep wandering into the bedroom- cool if you are also partying till 6am

I've never had anything stolen either, been doing this for like 13 years.

it's best to know the people, or have someone you know somewhat well to vouch for them.

Met them through the Florida /cgl/ discord server

basically

>What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend?
None really. First time I let them crash with me because I had gotten a great deal on a 3 bedroom resort room for a con (like cheaper than a typical hotel room). Next few cons I went to that they were going to we split the costs of rooms. Pretty much same wavelength party wise, but we tried to keep partying in our room to a minimum to avoid getting kicked out.

Is there an unspoken rule about not using the room for sex or does it depend on the group?

Voluntary exchange by definition benefits both parties. You can not argue that someone is worse off after a trade, because they would simply not go through with the trade. This is the same for people working for a boss. Just become a boss if you think it's that easy.

This same person also posted how she looked like when she was 15 and compared to now.

She was kinda ugly before, now she is pretty.

Hey
I have a vested interested in gas masks and other CBRN equipment

I'm really liking the look of the MSA Millennium gas mask, and I am looking to acquire one

Upon doing some quick googling, it seems like they're very expensive....


My budget is around $50 or so, if the Millennium is an unreasonable thought for that price range, I would love to hear about alternatives that are in my price range

Also, what kinds of filters are accepted by the MSA Millennium? I feel like it might not be standard 40mm STANAG filters, which may mean I would like to hear affordable filter suggestions as well

Pic related, an MSA Gas Mask example
>>
You're probably better off posting this in >>>/k/ since this board is about DIY costuming and how to replicate something like a cool mask, rather than where to buy an actual one. And making one yourself is generally going to be more expensive in materials alone, let alone time.
>>
>>10945122
Ah, I suppose that makes sense

I didn't think to post on /k/ because I mostly understand it as a firearms related board.

While I would post on /k/ for gun related things, posting about gas masks never crossed my mind

You sure it won't get deleted for being irrelevant to the board?

>>
>>10945110
FUCK it deleted my post. Okay, short version: I’m just here for lewds but I’m former CBRN ordnance handling and current radiation protection. Yes, 50 bucks for a good mono-visor mask is unrealistic. Your best bet if you want mono-visor is to see if any nearby fire departments are throwing out old used masks. They’ll be SCBA facepieces, but you should be able to make some modifications so it looks like it’s a cartridge respirator.

Otherwise, if you’re fine going to dual-lens, C3 masks are super cheap and look fucking good.

4 has some big actors in there, but realistically, look at only fans, just as many show skin of pennys as they do making youtube videos. look at the stand out only fans people, they brought a following to only fans, and at that point you are already making money likely with 3.

Sell photopacks/books/e-books; price them at like $20 a pop and if 5 people buy them, then that's $100. Some cosplayers get super greedy and price them at like $80-$100 a book, and then wonder why they get nowhere. Surely if she has such a large following, she has a small handful of dedicated fans that would pay that much for merch.
