>>10968834oh no he was talking positively about it.
>>10963603>and after the con let out they just went back to the AirBNB and played fucking baby horror games like FNAF on a switch.LMFAO, so does everyone just have friends like this they know from middle or high school? I'm around 22 and would like to make more weeb friends that I can go to cons with and interested in social activities as well though I’m pretty shy . Nobody I’ve met up with from /cgl/ threads has ever taken issue with me being younger, though we sadly usually only have one conversation and never see each other again.

Berry is making her UK debut this weekend at HaruhiCon, but all idol performers have to pay £75 to perform for 4 minutes for the Sakura Idol MatsuriPaida has released a new song!
>>10973599What did this random girl do to you to make you so hateful you gotta make up shit like this and spread it on 4chan
>>10973620>tweets are protected>tour cancelled>flees to japanwhat a messhow come the rest of her old tweets aren't showing up too.
>>10973633did she make up the health issues to get out of her tour? genuinely what is going on
>>10973635given that no one even knew she had a manager when it was announced it sounds like typical lazy manager boyfriend break up.
>>10973642idk what she even needed a manager for. unless she was connected to a true enertainment agency that could get her music more industry connections. clearly that wasn't the case. was she so insecure about her own abilities that she needed to trust some fake music company? her following and the kaigai idol community itself is small enough to just get gigs on your own. unless youre doing phoebe numbers ig
Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions:>Yor spillover from last year>a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima>Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring)>Vash Stampede for guys
>>10933948Hilarious how and why this did not materialize
frieren is my fotm prediction
>>10970812Three years late on that, friend, and you'd know if you went to a single convention ever. Which you don't.
We're about to see an explosion of Witch Hat Atelier cosplays at cons this summer.
im calling it here, NTE's gonna be the next FOTM
i'm not saying every person needs to have the same accurate body as the character they are cosplaying as, call be fatphobic but seeing ugly ass fat pigs cosplay and expect compliments annoys me.I don't know how they are not disgusted of being a fat bag, and looking like a pork compared to slim or fit cosplayers.
My issue is twofold. One how just about every obese cosplayer is trying to do some cute loli character that they're the exact opposite of. Secondly how fucking annoying and obstructing cosplayers so fat they need a mobility aid or wheelchair tend to be.>>10969099This, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Cosplaying is fun and all but your quality of life in general is directly proportional towards having a decent physique. Both from a health perspective and a social perspective.Then again physiognomy, fat people tend to be ugly on the inside too.
>>10968396chubby doesnt mean obese
>>10960489if you think about it, the landwhale costume by definition has to be made well, because a weaker one would be destroyed by their wreck of a bodyin that way the fatty is actually impressive
>>10960442also a former fattie here I think we have more hatred for fat people than anyone because we understand the lies way better"Oh your body just wants to be this size" "BMI is inaccurate/racist/sexist" "healthy at any size" "you can be fat AND hot".All fucking lies and I feel stupid for believing any of them for even a second, its all just a cope because there's so many fatties that their lies are louder than truths, and people who have never been fat don't question it since they don't understand how fucking much you have to eat and be idle for so long to get so fat. >>10961447Its kind of like what the other anons are saying, junk food is nutritionally similar to slop they feed to cows and pigs and animals. Carbs/fat are cheap and lean protein is expensive. Supply of food isn't actually a global issue, but availability is, so places that are poor get the cheap processed bullshit where you can eat 1000 calories of it and not feel full or nourished. The fattest country in the world is a tiny island called Nauru and its because their supply of natural fish and fruit they were eating before was destroyed, so now they basically subsist on prison food and meat scraps from other countries that are super unhealthy like turkey necks, there's a really good video about it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ih3tDP-pv8Generally the food industry is very predatory and wants to be in perfect sync with the healthcare industry to make people fat and miserable, at least in the USA.
Funny how much has changed since this thread was made last year.It's a brave new world out there now. I'm already seeing con friends/acquaintances that have been obese/fat for years look completely different now that ozempic has gone mainstream.Hold the line bros, it's gonna get better
suzupoii thread

a thread from 2023 died for this
Jabot ruffles Unless someone already said dat
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.
>>10971645>Will cons let you wear these grippy yoga socks instead of shoes?I'm not sure, but your toes WILL be stepped on
>>10971646I just didn't want to do shoes since she doesn't wear any and these are designed for studio floors so I didn't think it'd be a bad idea for the con floor, I see your point about toes being stepped on though
A nearby con has a voice actor guest I'd be mildly interested in seeing, which is a first for me.I'm thinking about meeting them for the novel experience, but what do you even do when you meet a voice actor? Is it appropriate to try to talk to them in Japanese or what is a standard interaction?I'm not really a real fan, I just like a character they have voiced.
>>10972093Make sure to invite them to your room party
>>10972093>>10972094>now let's turn the light off
The schedule came up today and there's no thread for this year yet so I decided to make one. It seems a lot of the panels for Saturday are either repeats of last year's, or topics that aren't that interesting (Japanese visas, foreigners in Japan, Amusement Parks.. ) Is anyone else here going, and if so, to which panels and events?
>>10971762The kayfabe you brought to our panel that night was amazing. Congrats flutterfag. See ya next year!
>>10971512Didn't find you at all>>10971819sneedington>>10971970You put up a good fight and your buddy coming up to hold the inflation png was hilarious>>10971987next time come meet up with buddies>>10972022amazing panel
I saw some really cute black Panty and Stocking cosplayers in the game room but never got a pictureOr a threesome
>the one year I don't go>it's actually not dead this timebros
>>10972081It's okay, I'm back home in my bed alone with no one to talk to and already forgetting all the interesting things I heard the japanese guests say in their panelsYou just skipped the part where you got to pretend life isn't miserable and lonely for 3 days before being ripped back into reality
>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
>>10906630He recovered. All the shit that came out about him turned out to be a fat lie. He's at Momocon rn, he was there last year too
>>10900384I think I wrote this and forgot so I'm not sure why I said mid to late 2010s when I enjoyed the first half more. It was like the near perfect bridge of high effort cosplay and genuine fans.
>streetpassesSure, those were cool. But have you ever live-shitposted in Pictochat during masquerade?
I take my 3ds to a local con every year but I keep forgetting to check it so I only cap out at 10 streetpasses for the whole weekendI just realized I'm really close to finishing puzzle swap so now I'm madI just started talking to people in lines or finding something to do instead of checking that stupid thing 24/7why the FUCK did they cap it at 10
>>10905471lel
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.
>>10972042That sounds like a "yes" to me. It's because both have an undercurrent of contempt in them. And whether you realize it or mean to, that's going to cloud your judgment on how to go about anything. You're already aware that people don't meet autists on their own terms, and I'm not justifying that either but at least TRY to meet them on their own terms instead of "You shouldn't be here if you have IG"Speaking for myself too-- girls being neurodivergent doesn't fix anything, maybe even the opposite
>>10972043I'm aware, I've talked to a lot of other autistic people and also got stonewalledNobody hates autists like other autists but normalfags hate all autistsI am just tired of rotting away alone and isolated in my home with my abusive family waiting for them to die so my life can startYou should understand I do not talk in person the way I do on 4chan, because being abused my whole life taught me how to be presentable in public so that I don't get ridiculed for simply being myself You also didn't read what I said, I'm talking about people who ONLY have an Instagram, are you telling me THOSE type of people have the same overlap with otaku who watch japanese cartoons alone in their rooms? Give me a breakGetting weird looks for asking for a discord or phone number instead of the most normalfag social media in existence at an ANIME CONVENTION is a fucking joke
>>10972034>None of the girls I get to talk to are ever alone, either they say they have a BF/friends or they are surrounded by orbiters and running off somewhere I don't want to beThis sounds like confirmation bias, there are lots of girls who attend conventions by themselves
>>10972046You could've fooled me Every girl I talk to is apparently in a relationship, even the ones who are alone, even the ones who are apparently at the entire CONVENTION alone instead of just separated I don't use conventions as a dating pool, I go for the convention, so I just talk with whoever catches my eye in the momentI'm not going around talking to girls alone buying things without makeup on, cause I see them when I'm in the middle of doing my own shit and don't have an easy icebreaker even if I went out of my way to try Even the fat perverts at 18+ panels have orbiters and there's never an opportunity to actually TALK to them, you know, that thing human beings are supposed to do in person to get to know each otherEveryone at the con is just alone doing their own thing instead of trying to be social and meet new people or do fun things, the amount of people just sitting around staring at their phones while they were at an event or in a panel or something was depressing Everyone already has their own friends, their own routine, or more like their own social media page they're trying to masturbate above all else
>>10931985>go out to wander late at night at AN>first person I meet trauma dumps on me for 20 minutes>decide to go to sleepIt was an interesting conversation, at least.
This is an important question that demands your attention
kinda just comb the front upwards then pull down, part the middle. The rest is kinda simple
A wig.
Lesbian cosplay
>>10948686this picture is older than most users here. they are currently in their late 30's/early 40's, married, own a $750,0000 home, make over $90,000 a year, and have kids.
Sometimes I wonder, are they really into it, or just faking it for the pictures
>>10969304They had kids together?!
Have you ever thought about getting plastic surgery for cosplay?If you did, were the results favorable?
>>10948660if its her body then you are not fucking her otherwise it would be your body, nice try simp
you can always get a saline injection for temporary real fake boobs.
>>10919971Turns out I am not the only >>>/lgbt/ denizen who came back to their original place >>>/cgl/glad that seeing the number of people with my line of BDD thinking is more than 1 (me)
is fat transfer better than silicone?
>>10971848Depends on what you are expecting for results.>fat transfer moves fat from ass/gut/back/etc to tits>only provides very small boost>needs to be done multiple times over a long period to get a big change>more surgery means more chances for things to go wrong or get infections>high chance of fucking up your ability to breast feed because they are poking around inside your boob trying spread out the fat with a huge syringe>need to have some chub for them to transfer anything>if you lose a ton of weight, you'll lose your tits>if you want to go big, you'll get huge floppers because its just injected fat with no structure, and not big naturals with booba shape defined by your genes>implants>goes in and done>chance of infection, like all surgeryComment too long.

would you rather a single mediocre or shit shot?
Is barefoot cosplay ever acceptable?If you are walking around at a con?
