>Why did you stop going to gaming conventions?The fact is I hate every single one of you, gamers. And whenever I see one of you out in the wild, I've the urge to punch and knock your teeth out, therefore I avoid going to these conventions.

>>736670478I would only go to a convention to get laid desuI bet gaming conventions are worse for that than anime conventions
>>736670563/thread
>>736670478My state never had gaming conventions, we had one anime convention and then a large general pop culture convention. You would end up paying money just to get in to pay even more money on the overpriced vendors and the has been stars. I do miss them if only to make friends with people that share my interests, but the con days are dead for me.
I miss WACCA bros why the fuck did it have to come out during the pandemic where it had absolutely zero chance of succeeding?
>>736670562The One Piece still nowhere near done, will likely be animated with AI
>>736671374>Only other celeb draws are dub voice actors (lol)And the dub VAs get insane traction from the attendants because 90% of people at cons are dubfags
Umafaggots are this decade's bronies, except this time we have a containment board ready for them.Report and Deport
>>736670875Uma fags are the ultimate rep for gacha shit at the moment and they've managed to become a big enough group that they now have a name tied to them. There ya go frognigger. There's your internet nomenclature 101 lesson for the day.

>>736670478I just don't see the point of attending anymore, after all what am i going to do? buy overpriced merch of series i don't care about? play arcade games by myself? i guess doing cosplay was fun but i just don't feel like going through that effort anymore
>>7366706843dpdnot even once

theres an entire social media industry where women just post shit like this and the entire goal of it is just "dont i look cute?"

>>736670684Your girlfriend will get old too, you know.Do you not want her to keep wearing cute clothes?
>>736671936npcs who consoom this slop need to be executed
>>736671374Why do conventions always smell bad? You'd think by now the people attending would take a hint and properly bathe.
>>736671939>cute clothesshe is dressed like a fucking retarded tranny
Do LAN parties count?
>>736671870Because they wont fuck you?
>>736670478how do i get a cosplay gf?
>>736670875Its MLP but for gen alpha and out of touch people
>>736672079>she is dressed like a fucking retarded trannyHow does a tranny dress like? Explain to someone who's never seen a tranny in his life.
>>736672201Like an anime character
>>736672154That's a Southeast Asian man.
>>736671939Currently have a 10y age gap with mine, hopefully I'm dead before she ages up too much. >>736672079It's just a generic school cosplay outfit you need to stop being troon obsessed>>736672042A few reasons, people can't smell themselves most of the time. They likely do shower but don't do anything else, not everyone has body spray/cologne etc. Personally I had a date once where I just showered and was fine, however she took me on a more physical journey and I was sweating by the time we were done. O ly like 3 hours had passed and she told me she could smell me. Since then I've been more conscious about it but most people don't actually get a wakeup call.
>>736672252So... cute clothes? Wasn't that what I said?
>>736672079>the first people to ever wear girly anime clothes were trannieshow fucking delusional are you
>>736670563This isn't even limited to cons. Like any mass gathering of people ends up smelling awful because there is a percentage of the population who doesn't understand bathing
>>736670563The smelliest person I came across at a convention was this Asian girl Genshin cosplayer.
>>736670478Cuz I have no friends
>>736672154Trust me, you don't want a cosplay gf
None of the retards trying to associate Uma with MLP were even here for peak bronytide, they have no idea how bad bronies actually were and why it necessitated containment.
Confags are the biggest posers imaginable. A hive of smelly FOTM trend chasers that have no real interest in anything outside of the current zeitgeist. Take a shot every time you see a cosplay of some recent seasonal anime and you'll be dead 15 blocks from the convention hall.
>>736671938>Find at least a dozen dudes "ironically" cosplaying as womenCrossplay isn't a thing anymore, virtually all males cosplaying as anime girls nowadays are actual trannies
>>736671916Troon melty
>>736672135they will fuck me even though i hate them. see the problem?
>>736672521No they won't
>>736672520>doesn't deny any of itSo you did show your dick for proxy access, kwab
>>736671819I started cosplay last year at the ripe age of 30 and desu I don't relate to anybody in these cons like I would have when I was younger. I don't have the money to buy a bunch of merch I don't care about, I like seeing the outfits and talking to people but once they show their age I'm immediately turned off from talking to them. Usually ends up with me finding some random old autist like myself and yapping until their kids pull them away.

>>736672671The recent purges mindbroke them
I went to a number of cons in the late 90s, Otakon circa early 2000s I lived through pretty much the best time to be alive in the fandom. I have to feel that going to one after 2012 would be a bit like trying to go back and play WoW again post 2021 and would destroy what little part of my soul still exists thanks to the good memories.
>>736671819Having your gf be an exhibitionist in an outfit she would normally never wear in public and then pounding her after the con at home
>>736672201>>736672275>>736672305found the retarded trannies
>live 15 minutes from a major convention center>Im too old and autistic to connect with the literal teenagers that are showing up for these things anymoreProbably the only place I could realistically meet people with similar interests too.
>>736672079Trannies dress like depressed men (because they are).
Most cons are for secondaries, going to one is dumb. All the cosplay is shonen trash or seasonal fotm that got big on Tiktok, all the merch can be purchased for 5x cheaper on amiami, mandarake, yahoo JP and more. All the art is usually western garbage aping JP artists, all the voice actors are signing stuff are 9/10 times dub actors with the very very rare 1/10 being a real seiyuu and that seiyuu usually gets so packed by people that you have to try a lottery to even have a chance of getting something signed. Also the odor and the terrible food that also happens to be jacked up like you are at a baseball game or something. Western cons are for low iq normalfags. Though good conventions do exist in the east.
>>736672853Did you look in a mirror or something
COSPLAY TRANNY MELTDOWN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAH
>>736671916Umautists act like this and expect you to think they're mentally well adjusted. Insane.
>>736672910Im not wearing gachaslop tranime cosplay so no
>>73667262630? who did you cosplay as?
>>736672853>>736672925mass reply = I wincope AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>736672626>I don't have the money to buy a bunch of merch I don't care aboutMost of the merch is being sold at scalper prices anyway and it preys on people's FOMO. Conventions blow until around 10pm when adult panels and the bar/rave/karaoke open up and then room parties become a thing after midnight
>>736672362I miss when gaming was occupied by people like this and not a bunch of performative people like it is now
>>736672154
>>736672404This. I was in a relationship with a cosplaying insta/OF whore for 3 years. It was physically and mentally draining. These people are effectively junkies for online attention. One time I had an important exam and had to get a good night of sleep in, and she was up until like 5am trying to film a 10 second reel OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. I yelled at her for it, went to sleep and like an hour later she tries to wake me with a blowjob (to film it). Our entire relationship was more or less like this, and I put up with it for a long time because she was hot and the sex was good, but in retrospect it wasn't worth it.

>>736672862I went to a small local con a couple years ago and felt so out of sorts, it's a different world now. It was all seasonal anime which I haven't kept up with in years, Japanese arcade games (ie. rhythm games that are all the same), and gacha crap. I ended up just talking to a guy that was only there because his girlfriend wanted to go about sports for an hour then leaving.

Thread is filled to the brim with zoomer retards larping. Cons have ALWAYS been full of "fotm" and "shounen" cosplays. What the fuck else are people going to do? Are you pissing and shitting yourself because no one is cosplaying your waifu from an obscure 40 year old anime? Website has way too much larp now.
>>736673659Let's get you to bed uncle
>>736670478>white woman wearing that cosplayit's like biting into a cookie and finding out it's oatmeal raisin instead of chocolate chip
>the game rooms for cons that I attend with friends have dwindled in size year after year>always had a couple of Initial D machines as well as the occasional obscure japanese machines - haven't seen either in years>used to be able to play pachinko at some of these, now those are gone too including whatever group was running them>every convention arcade room now is 10-20 shitty plasma screens spread out on tables with Wiis, PS2s, PS3s, and MAYBE an N64 or Genesis>single DDR machine (Or Pump It Up if you're REALLY unlucky) always with a line of con-goers. Won't even get a chance if a meetup is going on
>>736673659When most anons say fotm seasonal they don't mean all seasonals they mean whatever the masses lapped up on Twitter/Tiktok. There's tons to cosplay with seasonals just cosplays all cosplay the same garbage and nowadays it's 95% gacha btw.
>>736670875Uma Thurman fans
>>736672308did she stink good though?
>>736673504Same feeling I had last year when I went to Akiba. I felt so out of place. I didn't recognise half of the anime posters and figures. Everyone was so young, and there were families there. The doujinshi section was removed for a more family friendly environment. I couldn't even get a decent Dakimakura. It's not just me either. Everyone on 4chan has gotten old and they dont even realise it. Most of the anime reaction images here are from animes that are at least five years old. Some of them go back all the way to the 80s. New anime reaction images? Only really popular ones.
>>736673659cosplay is and always will be tranny cringe
>>736672307Even when they bathe, 80% of the population will just pour on axe or old spice or some other shit smelling garbage like they were an ancient greek bathing in oil and didn't scrape it off afterward.
>>736670478why the fuck would i go to a convention instead of staying home and playing video games
>>736673871Being a NEET that doesn't leave the house will always be tranny cringe
>>736672362he could easily go to the gym for half a year and be shredded as fuck
>>736673939being fit doesn't automatically make you attractive or less autistict. fell for the meme
>>736673916yeah but cosplay is way more tranny cringe, this nigger playing dress up LMFAO
>Run is a total dud due to lack of rainbows and constant mood downs so I can't say if my experimental deck is shit or not
>>736673881This here is why so many convention centers blast AC because the combined body heat raises the temperature and it would actually smell 10x worse if everyone started sweating
i only go to anime conventions to buy stickers, either vinyl or standard whichever. i find it hard to buy them online because they always use weird names to dodge what i assume is copyright protection
>>736673994shut up umautist
>>736673986he looks very lumpy there and if he didn't look lumpy she probably wouldn't mind sitting closer to himofc you gotta understand how you are perceived in the world and work on it as well and that is only done either passively as a neurotypical or critically as a neurodivergent that went through life wearing slip on shoes cause they work exactly the same as regular shoes but you don't have to tie them
>>736670478I found a bald spot and didn't want to be one of the token ugly losers at a nerd event. Also the novelty of playing fighting games IRL wore off and no longer carries the experience when nobody else knows what they're doing.
>>736673990yeah but they're tranny cringe together with other people in real life.being a NEET at home is tranny cringe alone.you only get one life little bro>>736673994this is a con thread. go to your shitty >>>/vmg/ thread
>Uma schizo is also sitting here seething about cosplay being for trannysHis joblessness truely knows no bounds.
>>736670478I have only ever gone to one convention when I was a late teenager and it was with some friends. It was an anime convention, and I didn't really care for anime, so it was a meh experience. over the years the more I've seen the more fun they look to talk and meet people with similar interests but now I'm 31, out of shape, and don't know how to socialize, so going solo and trying to talk to people who are likely much younger than I would look very awkward.
i'm almost 30 years old and all my friends who i could goof around with before have long moved on
>>736674137>being a NEET at homeoh you're projecting because you're a cringe cosplay tranny >lil broand a nigger kek
>>736673659That's what people had access to back in the day though, outside of real otaku that is, who at that point still actually showed up to cons. 50% of a con being made up of Naruto cosplayers gets a pass when 90% of mainstream anime consumption was Naruto, Dragon Ball, and whatever Toonami was showing.Now people have access to dozens of shows, legally I might add, professionally translated and streamed simultaneously with Japan yet 50% of cosplays are still a single FOTM show with no staying power and another 45% being gacha cosplays.
I wish that I could get a cosplayer gf, don't care what you guys says, just grant me a small bit of happiness in this bleak world, thanks.

>>736673994I get that feel bro
>>736674198Age has never been a real relevant factor in these types of spaces. I remember playing comp games and mmos with men in their 30s and 40s when I was 15. (Inb4 weird shit) would just get on, get an invite or send one and play, shoot the shit etc. You quite literally can just go, and talk to people about your hobbies. Overthinking is the only thing gatekeeping you.
>>736670478I hate women, they're all attention seeking whores

>>736670478My country had a forum called CommandoDS that was about obviously the NDS. Meet-ups were common and I went to 3 of them, 1 being held on a local con. That was my first and last time on a con of any kind.
>>736674361You forgot your image, King.
>>736670478Got the clap from raw dog creampying some cosplay chick. I live in the NW and had a free ticket to pax.
>>736670478Why does the game look like a washing machine?
I didn't stop but it's just disheartening as a 35 year old. Boomers where dishonestly right when it came to forcing their kids to go outside and not spend all day behind a computer. Conventions used to be about nerds socializing, making real connections and forming communities. Now it's nothing but narssasitic instsgram whores and influencers looking for validation and trying to find the few austic nerds to bully. It's no longer about connections and learning more about the craft and hobby. No longer can you make some honest mistakes or out yourself out there. I just go to clown a bit in my cosplay, buy some pins and leave. Trying to form any genuine connection with someone is a death sentence now if you aren't perfect.
>>736674562Because it's a game for women
>>736670478I go with my sister but just a little bit, food is hella expensive
>>736674586cry more hag
>>736670563This. I've been to only two gaming conventions in my entire life and both times everyone stank like shit, even early in the morning.
>>736670478I still go to them, but sometimes you have to take a long break from them when you start to recognize all the vendors and shit
>>736674586Boomers are never right about anything.
>>736674663>Trying to form any genuine connection with someone is a death sentence now if you aren't perfecta woman wouldn't say this
>>736674721an old and busted tranime hag might
>>736674586It's not the computer though, it's the phone that's created a panopticon of insecurity
>>736671819While the official part of the convention is somewhat shallow, it's meant to serve as a nucleation point for socialization. Introverts have a hard time with it, so many dress up (figuratively and often literally putting on a mask) or get drunk/high to suppress their social anxiety and have fun.
>>736674560worth or not worth?
>>736670478stopped? i never went to a single one brother, miss me with that fag shitwell technically, i did go to a few, as tech crew, but fuck spending money to go to one volountarily, there's absolutely no reason to do that, same with any meeting that is bigger than 100 people

>>736673449If they look hot with makeup I don't mind. I forced one of my exes to dye her hair pink and wear makeup, contacts and short skirts for an entire year. Parading her around was fucking hot, and so was the sex.Sadly, that kind of degeneration breaks people, but if you wanna have a good year, go for it, it was pretty aweosme.
>>736670478There’s something about seeing adults dress and act like anime and cartoon characters that pisses me off. Yes, that includes nips.Sure, it was cute when my nephew used to run around in his Dash PJs and act like he was in The Incredibles, but if he was still doing that shit in his 20s or even his teens, I’d be forced to call him a fag.
why do you have to have a convention of farm animals who also watch anime or play video games? why would you go to one?

>>736672827Used to do that, we graduated to "wear it at home or in a different town all day." great entry to kink tho,
>>736675795You could see the admin UI that was leaked during the hack and the amount of reports wasn't displayed.
>>736670478My girlfriend said there's too many trannies at them. We only go to things like fantasy conventions now.
>>736672154>gf
>>736673449I went to Anime Expo one year, and there was a chick there cosplaying as Nami in her Fishman Island getup, and she was goddamn perfect. Beyond that though, yeah, they’re pretty awful.
I once went to local anime convention. EU here, and anime isn't that big here yet, so it was naturally not very big. 60% of people were obese, solid 70% unkempt and generally not attractive by any means.I'm not some genetically gifted guy myself, but I take a lot of work into caring about my looks and these people looked like pure subhumans compared to me.There weren't any cute nerdy chicks there, just fatties or genuinely unattractive girls. Grim.
I never leave the house unless it just to go to the closest store to my house to buy food.
>>736671017ah, now you're speaking my language
>>736672307The problem isn't the lack of bathing, it's people who don't do the small hygiene things you were supposed to be taught as kids.Stuff like wiping your dick after peeing, taking a shower after shitting, or cleaning your tongue after brushing your teeth.
I'm 32 and I've had ONE gf my entire life and I never want that again, I'd rather die alone. I can't understand how any self respecting man can willingly engage in the humiliation ritual that is having a girlfriend in the 21st century
There was an anime con once like 50 meters from my home. Most people were in range of 14-22. I didn't go, just saw from my apartment window>t. Pole
At least they are having fun
>>736670478I'm not a normalfag.They are for super social people and degenerates that has orgies.
Holy autism thread. I can't go outside because I'm not perfect. And even if I were there'd be uggos and I wouldn't even have fun. Imagine the smell lol (<-- hasn't left their room in months). And even if I did have fun aren't video games pointless? I fucking hate normalfags REEEEE
>>736676182>60% of people were obese, solid 70% unkempt and generally not attractive by any means.i noticed this in some 4K video of someone walking around at a big con in california where normally you see lots of very attractive people if in the nice areas because all they do is go to the gym but at the convention, 90% looked insanely unattractive and 7% looked plain ugly. i looked at old con videos from the late 2000s and not even half the people were fat in comparison. it's like everyone gained 30lbs on average at a minimum since then. absolutely crazy. also everyone looked on average in their mid to late 20s where the old cons were mostly older teens
>>736676434Just because you dont leave the house doesnt mean you smell. I shower everyday.
>>736673504As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that while I enjoy things, I generally loathe the fanbase of said thing, because they make that fandom their personality, and it’s really fucking cringe and annoying.I went to a con last year with the explicit purpose of getting John Rhys Davies (Gimli) to sign my map of Middle-Earth because he’s getting on in years, and then I stuck around long enough to do a walkthrough of the vendor hall, and then I bolted because the cringe got to be too much.I’m also noticing that 3D printed shit is beginning to become a scourge at cons. I’m sorry, but 3D printed trinkets are the irl equivalent to AIslop.
>>736675824When did we get a cgl board?
>>736676438Aren't people fatter on average now than they were 20 years ago?
>>736675824don't hate us gulls because we get no traffic
how do I get a legal loli gf?
>>736677012vacation in the Gambia. She'll be black.
>>736676768the lest cringe community i know(of i game i play) is factorio. it's still kinda cringe with the "factory must grow haha you get it" shit, but other than that it's just a bunch of automation autists. it also can't be cosplayed/monetized easily, so normalfags get repelled.
>>736676245>shower after shittingJust wash your poo hole.
Alright guys here's my gf plan for my next con>make my cosplay over the next month or so>get IRL to take some photos of me>1 week before set up my bumble profile>My Fandoms>My DNI>buy travel mode>buy infinite swipes>hopefully dont overlap date times>have a get out jail card (my bros want me at X)>if no spark do not pursueit's gonna be 3 days i wanna get at least 9 IRL encounters but it's probably gonna be closer to 5 or 6, that's more than what I got at school for the last 4 years
>>736677426I feel like even a bidet isn't enough sometimes. Need soap and a scrubber to feel confident enough to leave the bathroom
>>736677470what the fuck is this normalfag language? begone from this site
>>736677525Get more fiber. It's not a meme, I had to start taking a lot of it due to a nasty combo of hemorrhoids+fistula and I barely need to wipe unless I eat something exceptionally greasy. The downside is popping like 20 fucking supplement pills a day to get the higher end dosage.
>>736670684She's cute though? It's really bad lighting and the video is pixelated to all hell.

>>736677647It's only sometimes, like when I use a little oil when airfrying some vegetables. When I cut that out, I don't have the problem. I just consider it the price to pay to make delicious food
>>736677647Bro holy shit you're getting exposed to an assload of lead at those dosages.

>>736672154By not being ugly, fat, or stinky, and by having basic social competency.
>>736670478I went once because it was just a short tram ride from my place and I didn't like it at allI had to squeeze through people to get anywhere, it was so crammed in there and the smell, good God, left after 10 minutes
>>736678102Not really. When I was young there was no such thing as mainstream anime. There was popular animes, like pokemon, DBZ and One Piece. Now they are mainstream so cons are just all that, nothing really changed. New series I sometimes watch but it's the same tropes and settings so it's still easy to get in to, but also boring because anime honestly hasn't evolved in the slightest.
>>736678013It's the suggested amount. 2-5x pills 4x a day.It sucks taking pills though so I've been trying to get more fiber foods to replace some servings.
>>736678517To this day I'm scared of saying I like playing games and watching anime even though most of my normalfag coworkers do the same because I still feel ill be ostracized for it like when I was in school, it's fucking unfair as shit how it's suddenly "cool" to watch anime instead of instantly turning you into a social pariah.
>>736678835larping faggotanime has been cool since fucking pokemon and dbzevery normie liked adult swim slop
>>736676245How do you take a shower if you shit in the middle of the day?
people are horribleavoid them at all costs
The problem with cons aren't cosplayers.The problem is it gets really stale after a while, specially if you go alone. The same stands, the same arcade machines, the same consoles and events. You could go once and see it all, nothing would change. They could innovate or something and bring the nerds together like make a massive WII Sports Tournament, or have a massive rave with Anime music or a "who wants to be a Otaku?" trivia and stuff, but they won't. I felt bored & out of place I stopped going. I had more fun in a Bouncy Castle for adults by myself than going to a Con, man.
>>736670563Are you a woman?

>>736670478Why would I go to a place full of people I don't want to interact with and full of products that I can buy online from the exact same sellers without the outrageous convention markup?
ive only ever been to an anime con 1 time with a stranger i met at an asian festival a few weeks prior who encouraged me to go. he carried around a MOC life size miku doll in a strolleri bought a miku plush and the FLCL ost on vinyl. i also bought a miku keychain but i lost it at the con or maybe it was stolen idk.they had an arcade with everything on free play including a project diva cabinet which was the first time i ever got to play project diva arcade on the real hardware.there was a panel with some VAs i won't name as to not narrow it down but i knew both of them and didn't know they were going to be there so it was unexpected and nice.me & that dude never spoke again after that but i was glad i left the house and traveled for once. hope he didn't kill himself because that miku doll is worth at least a couple grand.

>>736679713this, just watch the dash-con footage to see everything you need to know
>>736679781Did they ever find out who stole all the money?
>>736670478i've been to two conventions, one around 2017 and one around 2019.the first convention was fucking amazing, there were tonnes of interesting games to try out (and this was before any public betas or whatever). total warhammer 2, monster hunter world, fighterz, etc.the 2019 one had one upcoming game. days gone.
>>736670478Rhythm games are low brow.
>>736679839all me
>>736670478Going to the gym in a few minutes and then going to Round 1 to play DDR World. What are arcades like at cons?
>>736675386It's the "have your cake and eat it too" issue. No one wants those fans but they obviously benefit from it. In this case, the fans never realize their favorite entertainer/twitter whore never actually puts out and keeps supporting (giving money) them anyways.Uma Musume is funny as fuck because girls obviously aren't interested in the game from data anons post but a bunch of boomer guys do play it. Boomers with money. So Uma Musume attracts cosplay whores to get boomer money and attention.
>>736670478which heal is good on S. Maru for Aries?
>>736670478because good games stopped going to gaming conventions
>>736670478I'm about to go to the wedding of a couple who literally met while in line for an arcade rhythm game.So you guys should probably keep going to these. It doesn't hurt to go where you're likely to find kindred spirits.
>>736680123What the fuck are you talking about? Neither of those anons mentioned uma
>>736670478Normalfag tourists
>>736680263A girl actually talked to me and my friend at Round 1 while playing DDR but I'm autistic and she stopped replying on Discord lol. Very rare that girls have talked to me and she was the first one to hand me her phone and add her on Discord. She even gave me some stuff.Maybe my PFP and username on Discord scared her off, but she didn't unfriend me.
>>736671374>Buy a hotel roomJust stay in a hostel bro.
>>736678835It still really isn't because of how consumerist and egotistical it is. It feels kind of boomery when you look at it because it has such a huge focus on just having money ego and clout. And since it's still a very mechanical art form rooted in technology the onlys ones pushing limits and progressing everything are still shut in autistic nerds and deviants.
>>736673259The real problem is, you don't even need to be a hall monitor type who watches the catalog like a hawk. /v/ is just so fucking dogshit now that at any given time, you can open up the catalog and immediately spot a "stealth" general for this insipid gacha sludge. You don't even have to be looking hard. It's always right fucking there.(You) are the problem, and I hope to god that (You) are the catalyst that gets gacha sludge banned from /v/ and forced into its own containment shithole. But that would require that the mods/jannies actually give a shit.
>>736673259>>736673651Troon melty
>>736679218It's very true. Now that it's popular you can easily buy or go somewhere for everything a con offers. You like arcade games? Barcades are a thing. Japanese bullshit? 3 anime shops in your local college town are there. Remember pockey candy? They sell it in grocery stores now for cheap.
>>736680021The same thing but kind of worse. Since they focus so much on normalfags it's just more and more DDR with a few classics sprinkled in. Old cons used to have entire sections of classic pinball machines, random ass imports of Japanese exclusive cabnits and even PCs connected to LAN.
>>736670478because the idea of paying a ticket price to wander around in a hall of sweaty nerds all day just to watch some advertisements does not sound appealing
>>736680397Despite your autistic ass I hope you understand that this already puts you in the upper 0.5% of men.
>>736679218Yeah. All they really need are to have a doujin culture like japan does and this would be fixed overnight. Easier said than done but it's literally just this one thing.
stop talking and post webms of con whores ideally almost naked
>>736670478Jokes on youI have never been to one
>>736680823It sounds like I missed out. There are actually some cons very close to me where I wouldn't even need a hotel, but I always sorta wondered "what am I supposed to do all day?" and never went.>>736681124This says a lot about the state of men if I'm in the upper echelon.
I'm so lonely lads.I eat healthy, i excercise, i wash but i'm just too autistic and ugleh to talk to people.I can't just go outside and harass strangers.
>>736670684She's alright. She's also willing to dress up for a con, which more than likely means she's willing to dress up for sex.

How do I get a umacosplayer girlor boyfriend?
>>736680397>A girl actually talked to me and my friend at Round 1A drunk negress grabbed my ass at a shitty barcade after I finished a pretty high doubles chart in StepmaniaX about a month ago. Don't remember which song because SMX has a garbage song list aside from the eurobeat and ITG classics. God I wish I had a Round1 near me instead.
>>736671579>>736671374I would suffer the logistical hurdles IF I would be in the company of fans who had taste, appreciated good anime and weren't filtered by subtitles.But the vast majority are the subhumans who always watch the dub. They don't read manga, they watch bottom barrel isekai and shounen shit. Majority of their watchlist is gimmicks or MC just abusing video game mechanics. It's retard kindergarten.
>>736674248Honestly I never had a problem with cosplay girls but I guess I cosplay myself. What I commonly see are cosplayers getting some normie to be their pack mule because since most of them are unstable attention whores they need someone to be their rock and fix the mistakes they make.
>>736670478I only ever went to one, because a buddy had an extra ticket. I just whooped nerds’ asses in fighting games the whole time.
>>736670478Got boring, every time they have the same activities, with the same IPs, music, artists and so on.Post-covid tickets got stupidly expensive.Is easier to just buy shit online, hell, sometimes even regular stores like Walmart have better merch than cons these days.Cosplayers stopped doing it for fun and sex and now they do it for sex and money.Now that normalfags like anime and comics (not really), cons are filled with tons of secondaries so is rare to find anyone with actual interesting opinions or tastes, kinda like /v/ and video games but slightly more polite. >>736673094>She didn't care about the exam and then tried to wake him with a blowjob>Sex was good but wasn't worth itMaybe she has undiagnosed BPD, that shit is a fucking a nightmare disguised as pleasures to the extreme
>>736675883People used to be more open about interacting with each other because they weren't scared you where going to cancel them for a mild mistake. Now you awkardly flirt with someone and your mistake lasts forever.
>be turbo normie taking my weeb bay brother to con >wear regular clothes >girls keep coming up to me for pics and guessing my cosplay Do these retards have no standards
>>736670478they stopped being fun, and got gay.
>>736681989If you look relatively decent and above average you were probably the most attractive male there
>>736673718>Pump It Up if you're REALLY unluckyPIU is a better game. I'm not even brown btw. Konami is just complacent as shit, they only recently even caught up on M-Mod despite their other games having it for years.
>>736670478I would only go if there was a chance of hooking up with a cute cosplay slut. But I'm short and ugly so there's no point.
>>736682271If you don't mind a pump and dump, you should go. There are some cosplayers that like ugly guys, dunno if the fat bastards doujins and hentai has anything to do. Or if you lower your standards a fattie cosplayer will be glad to fuck you in your hotel room.
I don't understand the oldfag complaints, there were people in there 30s-40s back in the early 2000 cons who were equally alienated by all this japanese crap, since their frame of reference were sci-fi cons back in the 80s, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the con and maybe getting into a few anime or vidya themselves, I don't see why you all can't do the same
>>736671074What is it with autists and horses?
>>736676768>I’m also noticing that 3D printed shit is beginning to become a scourge at cons. I’m sorry, but 3D printed trinkets are the irl equivalent to AIslop.This shit, this shit right here. Who the hell is buying Buddha statues that you put Yoda's head onto in Blender? Fuck off.
>>736682659Back then it was worlds colliding, like the Pilgrims meeting the Indians. Both communities merged and shared their interests. Early anime fans were those same 30-40 year olds too, trading bootleg VHS recordings of overseas shows and amateur translations of manga back when anime was "japanimation". There was more of an overlap and it started well before the 2000s.It was still all exotic and new, there's nothing to discover anymore, at least nothing coming out of those cons thanks to the internet and Japan finally realizing the overseas market was a thing. Anime and video games are way, way too mainstream now for a good convention environment and I'm not saying that because I'm a hipster contrarian, cons aren't even close to being the same thing.
>>736683309Idk, but I'm surprised how many girls compliment my MLP shirts and hoodies.
There's literally nothing to do at cons besides play arcade games, buy overpriced shit, cosplay, and drink profusely. All of these activities instantly become fun when you're actually hanging out with friends. You're supposed to go to cons with your friends. Soloconning has always sucked.
