Would you go to Dashcon 2014 if given the chance?
>>10965814No, but I'd go to the Dashcon 2025. Smaller and cozier and fun from what I've read by those who attended.
>>10965814Dashcon was what made me get into cosplay funnily enough (15 yo in 2014) because I didn't know conventions were even a thing before it. I want pre-2020 cosplay back so much
>>10965841I would have gone for the my immortal quiz
shit show cons always habe the best lobbycons so yeah
>>10965814Honestly? Yes. 2014-2019 tumblr was so peak I'd go to a bad tumblr convention over a good number of "good" non-tumblr ones just for the vibe.
>>10966004>>10965814I dunno, bad cons are just fucking boring desu
>>10965814Having been to bad cons before (the worst one out of the ones I've been to being an actual fire or stampede hazard because there were way too many people in the venue), it's a no from me. The only good part about being at DashCon '14 was being able to tell people afterward that you were at one of the worst cons in history.>>10965960>I want pre-2020 cosplay back so much2010's still had a bit of the old cosplay culture left, but by then the cancer that is influencer-driven cosplay was already taking over. When I finally started regularly going to cons in 2014 (not dashcon but other ones), names like Jessica Nigri and Yaya Han were already established as career cosplayers that did FOTM cosplays instead of using cosplay as an extension of fan art. It's obviously worse now, but it was already bad then.
>>10965814I was there in 2014 Saturday and Sunday. It was decent if you treated it as a meetup not an actual convention (I ghosted)
>>10966054from what I heard the organization of #2 was way more serious and competent with strict limits on number of participantsstrange/teya has a few videos on it but I have not kept up with her recent ones after the announcement onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k99zWRyOQ9U
