>>10976110Of course they exists, but in a much lesser number, reminder that it was still around the time when a lot of girls weren't into nerdy shit and you were some level of pariah if you were a little bit too much into these stuff, so the amount of women that are that are-Still into nerdy shit-Won't have the option of "Eww, you're still hard into that stuff at your age?" Are probably continually dwindling and the ones that are actually cool about it probably got hitched forever ago

>>10969615Weak bait here's your (you) moid.
This thread is my first introduction to /cgl/
>>10976128it's nothing but b8 OP and b8 bumps mixed in with the retard awards winners in it
>>10976128Don't worry anon, it only gets worse from here.
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.
>>10970669Yes
>>10902106OP's cosplay is insane, imagine the BRAPs
>>10970669>>10970673The millennials in "the geek crowd" as you put it will be like that, but zoomers onward won't be as much. Zoomers will just say shit because it feels good, so as long as you're not going out of your way to misgender someone who is clearly female-presenting they won't care what you say.
>>10970774Yeah I'm not a dick, I can get along with you if you act normal it's the people that make it their entire personality that I can't really vibe with
>>10902106The cosplay thing should be fun and doesn't need to be sexual but some normies decided to ruin it by making a porn with cosplaying an anime character. I somehow thinking to those who cosplay and do onlyfans vids by making porn vids while they cosplay anime character. I feel you sir
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.
>>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.
old man here, i'm 38. When I was in my 20s I was a lot shinier, I'd go to cons alone and end up in room parties and make new fair weather friends. I'm not shining as brightly as I used to but I'm still going to arcades, making new friends, grabbing contact info from people, getting invited to house shows etc. Recently chatting up a bartender ended up getting me into a house show and getting enveloped into a friend group. I'm just going to rattle off some what I do & my mindset.1) Making new friends is a rollercoaster of painMost ephemeral connections will turn to nothing and you have to just accept that. I've chatted up plenty of people for like an hour and they seemed super interested, no follow up after. One night I was able to play dance rush with this girl for an extra hour or two and it was really nice. I loved talking to her and she seemed to like talking to me. no responses after exchanging info. You have to be able to withstand this and keep it together without either blowing up someone's phone or wanting to blow a hole through your head. You can't have expectations. If you feel like there's stakes to social interactions ("THIS WILL BECOME MY GF") it's going to be ruined. If you don't have restraint for either your actions or your thoughts put aside trying to socialize with strangers until you do.2) Numbers game is the worst possible advice you can getPUA nonsense. It's humiliating. I saw a guy doing this at a show. Alone, went to everyone in the bar and said his bit. People are always looking for something new to talk about and you don't want it to be You. Talk to someone because something about them interests you and the genuine curiosity will color your vibe. You'll probably have a natural jumping off point from there.3) be ensouledif your hobby is going home and passively consuming something like a video game or streaming content. with 0 thoughts about it. idk. die. talking to you sucks.
>>10973999It's always a shock to me when I'm reminded that society has deteriorated so much that making friends is now something very many people struggle with. It's wild for me to see terms like "numbers game" appearing in advice for how to make friends. But I'm also one of those people who got lucky in college with an extrovert "adopting" me, so I know how fragile it all is for the people that are able to make friends.Nice trips btw
This thread has survived two subsequent otakuthons, very impressive.
>>10931985I kind of feel you...> Introverted, but for some reason wants to meet new people or see new stuff. The conventions I pick are usually not showing the people who I am fan of so I avoid meet and greets so far. >I started trying to get into cosplay due to me thinking stupid that if I'll do that I get some friends. Well...if they recognize the franchise and character that is popular then congrats I get small talk with people or questions if they can take picture with ugly me (since I'm too nervous to do it myself)>The rest of the day I just spend on some random ass buying stuff, eating or trying to spend some time before going back home.But I never get anything out of it. Most of the people who wanted me to follow their Instas were some people who later forget who I even was. My old friends are either busy, spending time with someone or not interested so I carry this all alone. I'm planning to maybe try again and cosplay in December before I'll just stop for some time because it's more sounding like a chore than something I wanted to enjoy. My only plan if it will be possible though is to find again the guy who cosplayed Psycho Warrior in same convention I was last year since I saw him this year early too, but I doubt I become friends with him.
I'M GONNA GUM!

>>10976089I just hope him and everyone else to die an horrible death, that's why
Would it count as a cosplay if it’s a real guy?
yes this character would count even if they're based on a real person
I have seen cosplays of among other things: Succulent Chinese Meal, Queen Elizabeth, Douglas MacArthur, John Paul II. Of course it counts
>Late 20s cosplayer who was active pre pandemic and did fanservice cosplays>Pre Pandemic, most cosplay girls(even the ero ones) where definitely nerds, hot girls who found an outlet and overall it felt more authentic>2025? I go to a con and the popular or attractive girls are either failed models, athletes, fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime world by being an influencer
@10974118You might be a goddamn fucking idiot
>>10974120Why?
Back then when a single beautiful woman did cosplay, she would get a lot of attention.A lot of people would post her photos, she would get popular.Thus other women see this and also want the same type of attention, even when they aren't fans of anything.But still it wasn't easy to make your own costume or to buy a good one.Now the chinese mass manufacture cosplay outfist that look good enough for most people.
>fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime worldWhats the problem with this? Lots of anime girls are supposed to be fit, way more than there are fit otaku foids. Fitter/more attractive girls doing cosplay just means hotter girls to look at. Is OP gay?
>>10967341Eh?Look, I didn't Jessica Nigri and was worried about Twitch not being just nerdy gamers (and mostly men) anymore and letting the thots in, and now the one of the biggest streamer is someone who literally denigrate gamers on the fucking gaming platform, for exampleBut let's be honest, we were all called misogynists for being worried/unhappy about it along with basically the entire establishment coming on our ass for any sort of attempted gatekeeping
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
>>10976009>>10976011Maybe I'm not into it enough. Like I don't sperg out about "fuck yeah I like this" I'm actually pretty muted.I don't know maybe I'm asking the wrong questions here. Like I think what I want is TO WANT to go to conventions and be excited the way people do.Thanks for humoring me bros
>>10975918i'm 38 years old and still make new friends. what i do might not apply to you because imo there's no one size fits all piece of advice for socializing. It's all gray area and gauging what's appropriate at the moment. There's shit I say to people I wouldn't dare suggest anyone else say because they don't have the same ja ne se quois.1) Going out is a low stakes gamble with huge rewards and minimal losses.Unless you talk like such a freak you become infamous there's basically no real loss to going to stuff and talking to people. If conversations go nowhere it's no real loss. If someone doesn't follow up after exchanging contact info it's no real loss. Go to any event you have any interest in and enjoy yourself. Talk to people yeah but go there for your own personal enjoyment.2) Reputation means everythingBest case scenario is you find something like a tiny local venue that does a lot of shows or events. Go to them regularly. Chat up people, INCLUDING STAFF, and just be cool. It's OK if it doesn't shake out to being a real deep friendship or anything, what's important is that you're Known to be Normal. This is what's so important about frequently attending cons in your area, you're a familiar face that everyone knows won't be weird.The micro of what to say to people, how to act, etc doesn't really matter too much assuming you have minimal social skills. Don't be inappropriate, don't be a fucking weird nazi, limit negativity unless warranted. If someone says they liked some trash anime just make conversation about what they liked about it and try to dredge out the single nugget you enjoyed. If you can sense someone is a massive hater match them but keep negativity checked otherwise.The long game macro of becoming a member of a community is far more important than the micro. some try to macro in a hurry by joining stuff like run clubs but that's not really my scene. I like my status as the saint of the local weeb venue. Took 6+ months
>>10976083Thanks for your in-depth response, anon. I think I learned a little more.Do you have any advice on exchanging contact information? I feel like I'd make it awkward lol
>>10976098>hey, man you got Insta/Discord/Snapdone
>>10976098basically what the other anon said. it isn't awkward if you already had a nice conversation. just don't expect much follow up. nice if it happens but exchanging contact isn't a big win.
Discussion and analysis of CAP & SNK cosplayers.Post cosplayers names if you know them.Also Event & Year of pic.

would you rather: have this chunli as your wife she's hot but hates you and divorces you as soon as possible and takes half of your money and property, makes you pay alimony and child support
>>10972661or have this chunli as your wife, ugly as sin but she loves you and is loyal will raise your kids healthy and strong, cooks and cleans for you
>>10972649This girl is so adorable it hurts.
I want to cosplay as Chainsaw Man, which costume do you recommend? My friends say I look cute and should give it a try idk

Cute doggo
>>10972337this
share images of your favourite maid cosplays, whether it be the cutest girls or the most fashionable and intricate designs.
>>10970653Aliexpress trash + hrt skin tone Go back to discord
>>10970653>no gloves while handling a firearmcan't even pretend to be a proper maid, get some self respect
>>10920818There used to be a Japanese brand called "Emily" that made really good quality maid outfits for the money. They might still exist but it's been years since I broke up with the gf that was into them so I'm not sure. They were hard to find online but easy to get in Japan or at larger conventions in the US.
I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.
It must be amazing to be utterly ignorant to believe there isn't drama or bully in your precious communities....Cute. Real cute.
Shit like this is why im too afraid to get into lolita fashion despite desperately wanting too
>>10964998
