....Bruh
Which one of you niggaz is making these threads
>>10964787Look to the MOON and you will find da WAY
>>10964793Ahh, I see. Thank you. Kind anon
>>10964796All good anon >>10964388South Florida anon rep!!!
>>10964783Anime Central
Can you guys die already? This is 6 months from nowLike genuinely shoot yourself in the head
>>10964808No. Fuck off. I'm starting my plans right now because of this thread.
>>10964808That one anon had it right.
>>10964808Gotta save that for day zero
>>10964808Do you not make plans in advance before the convention? You one of them lazy fellas who ask for a room the month of the con?
>>10964808Hopefully they will soon since that seems to be the trend. How many deaths do they have now, 4-5? Last one was that guy from Michigan.
>>10964808This. Last acen my friend got told to her face sheprobably likes BBC and is fat. FUCKING DISGUSTING
>>10964824Was it true?
I did not get a room so I'm not really thinking about it
>>10964825No she's a respectable nice kind and thin person, if I see the person who told her birds of a feather as a "light hearted line" and no I don't by the "it was about finding other gulls joke. It's revolting. I will lay down some hell.
I might do Asuka again.
I'm staying home because anime is gay and so are all of you
>>10964833checked
>>10964831Can you do burger king rei again? I know you out jew'd the jew Reisen that was EPIC!!! especially when you went on about the "haters" you have. Never met anyone who never fucked up in their life before and has so many haters. especially when walked into my room party, stayed an uncomfortably long time, annoyed the women, and I had to message the guy you told me you were. Why did you wear his bow man? I get nigga never coming back to acen since he moved to Japan or something but like man what gives?You must be a legend.
>>10964824She's probably fat and definitely nawt worthy of BBC. Save the BBC for a hot femboy like me.
>>10964839hey old man. where's revcon at. i know you know
How do you guys meet up with people? Ill be going solo for the third year, feels kinda sad seeing everyone with friends. The official ACEN discord seems so strange/weird to wanna make friends there.
>>10964905It is. Now people have discord and they meet with people they already know. At night you can talk to randos in the common area, even Thursday sometimes. Otherwise you might have to go through the discord. If you have any cons before then try making some contacts at those and join servers and ask who plans on going to Acen. Use common sense and be safe
How lame, another year alone. I did meet up with some people from here 2 years ago, last year I did but it was awkward. Time to make friends IRL? fuck.
>>10964905do NOT meet up with anyone from these threads.They're all groypers, pedophiles, and nazi's with none of the fun that comes with that and all the drama/doxxing/drugging.
>>10964969not to be weird, but met up with an 18 year old girl from the main discord. We hung out and ate. im 27.
I hope the Finn returns this year, I have nothing else to look forward to at ACEN
>>10964950A lot of them are ok, just a select few you need to watch out for
>>10964978None are okay those groups openly give passes to rapists/pedophiles I’ve heard “but he’s my friend” after a dude statutory raped a 14 yr old LOL They don’t see a problem with that because he’s the party guy
>>10964987but he’s my friend
>>10964989Make it three
I am very normal and sane and can be trusted to be awake past midnight at the Hyatt Regency O'hare
What do you think well see a lot of cosplays of? Rize?I hate women so much its insane.
>>10964989Its three but I also want invitesI got banned from main
>>10964974Don't answer this
>>10964866Even if I did know, why would I tell you?Also probably younger than most in this thread.
>>10964925He would like that
>>10964783ACEN had an actual pedo as a guest and never even apologized. I wouldn't go for that alone.
>>10965061Who? You?
>>10965061Shotacon ≠ pedophile
>>10965073Okay but what about her interest in actual 8 and 12 year old boys? Is that fine?
>>10965076Her friend is a twig
>>10965061ACEN is retarded because they completely shy away from idol culture and vtubers.One of the organizers when asked about idol guests just went "lol, lmao".ACEN also classically lacks in panels because everything is more "scrutinized" so the interesting panels go to midwest/magic/CAD instead because atleast they'll get accepted.
>>10965088She was only 19 when she said the 12 year old was cute. And that's all she said. Also, 19 was consider to still be a minor in Japan at that time.
Anyone wanna meet up?
>>10965152met some cool people last year
>>10965284what "AI" did you use for this ?
>>10965288Literally replying to an AI slop post.
>>10965293Grok 4 Heavy (SuperGrok)
Aaaaa don't know what to cosplay
>>10965101Acen 2022 had vtubers but hey were comically bad that year and so they've been effectively blacklisted from a lot of groups after they sold their guests on vivid mask mandates, then undid them right before the con.
Can we talk about something other than drama?
>>10965398What do you guys think the big cosplay will be?
>>10965398It's the same thing every ACEN thread and pretty much all the Illinois cons.>Noting but drama because of those groups>mods nuke all the comments>ACEN finally comes>That group just starts more shit and it goes critical.>Mass deleting of comments.>Thread dies.It's always the same people too.
>>10965398I think ACEN sucks and lacks variety!
>>10965384they werent blacklisted, theres just a member of their parent organization who hates vtubers and idol culture.Which is why they NEVER have idols OR vtubers OR maid cafes...
>>10965405Good
this entire con is just faggot elitism failed to leave the nest cliques. mare fair mogs you
>>10965401when the magic is gone but you keep going to the con sometimes ppl who took too much get delusional and think their life is an anime their friends are the characters and they make up dramatic plotshow embarrassing
2023 was funGot to take a pic with her
>>10965437Who is she?
What are these ladies cosplaying? Is this Show By Rock?
>>10965539>ladies
>>10965401What a shame.ACEN is the only con I really go to.
>>10965401>>10965398i'm here to talk about cons and ignore the retarded schizo shit.Unfortunately theres so few non-schizos here that it's just me and like 2 others...
>>10965590what are you thoughts onthe color temperature of the con center's lights
>>10965591I have no fucking idea what "color temperature" means. I'm gonna assume like... how bright they are?I dunno, the stephens could use brighter lights cause it gets REALLY hard to see out of a mask sometimes lmao.Personally the best quirk of the Stephens compared to other centers like McCormick is that it has that 1 mile long walkway where the parking garages are on the completely opposite side.Genuinely, ain't nothing like a comfy half mile walk from the hotel at 3 AM back to my car
I really wanna hotel nearby even though I live 40 minutes away. I wanna after party and maybe tinder date
>>10965596I have a party both Friday and Saturday nights
>>10965599You managed to get a room?
>>10965622who didn't
>>10965632Me
I hope I get to see her this year.
Singles meet up?
I'm not single sorry
As in people going alone
>thread went from 110 posts to 79holy schizophrenia...Anyways, ya'll excited for C2E2?
>>10966395Not animeNo
>>10966395When is that happening
This thread was made way too early, who thought it was a smart idea to make a thread for a con happening this year, last year?
