/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Nigga why is this on /cgl/? We were having a perfectly good discussion on /r9k/ about it and /cgl/ actually has a topic so this doesn't belong here. Baleet your thread please.

You wanna know the truth about that? What actually happened is that I was hitting on him at MCM and he was COMPLETELY oblivious, so I assumed he wasn't interested and gave up. There you go. It's actually just a tale of both of us being incredibly beta.

While I feel that such an empowering experience would be truly productive in his fight for equality, it is not my position to speak for an oppressed party.

>>6809874
Thank you for sharing the experience of your oppression with us. I understand that I, as a woman, need to check my privilege in this situation, but I hope I can go some way towards empathising with you so that I, even in my position of privilege, can work with such an oppressed party for the defence of his rights. No man in this day and age should have to go unfucked, it is blatant and institutional misandry. Maybe we should start a petition on Tumblr.

I'm asking men to stop encouraging immoral behaviour, especially when most of them bitch and whine about women being sluts at the same time. If you want monogamy you have to hold up your end of the deal. Anyway, this discussion is going way too far /r9k/-wards for this board, so I'm out.

>>6809356
How about nobody encourages anybody to be a slut and we all just settle down like normal goddamn people?

>>6808462
You may notice that when men are whores, other men tend to support them

Nice.

I'm very much an advocate of trans rights and I wish people would stop harping on about unimportant bullshit like gay marriage (civil partnership is fine for anyone who isn't a pedantic arsehat) and pay attention to the fact that trans people:
-have an average life expectancy of 23 due to high risk of suicide or murder
-have a one in twelve risk of being murdered (trans women) or one in eight for non-whites
-have a 49% chance of killing themselves
-account for 18% of homeless in urban areas despite being less than 0.1% of the population

Trans people are pretty clearly one of the most oppressed and at-risk groups in society, and it's a real shame that the genuine issues are being masked by tumblr-happy fuckwits who think not having their mum recognise them as turtlekin is the end of the world.

Also this really shouldn't be taken as an example of 'what feminists believe' because that person is a headcase.

>>6796337
Yo I literally know that person and they're awful. This is hilarious. I've posted in a few threads about a trans-masculine agender person getting all 'thank you for your cis opinions' at me and having a huge go at me for having an opinion on trans stuff, and THAT'S THEM. Truly Tumblr personified.

She's just making personal attacks because she's upset that I proved that
a) I'm not Nia
and therefore
b) she's delusional

Pay no heed.

Once a girl in my comm got Coke spilled on her dress at our anniversary meet. The waiter looked like he was going to die on the spot when he was told how much the dress was worth. I think she managed to get the stain out though, and she got a free meal for it, so all's well that ends well.

>>6795254
Oh come on, that's really mean. He can't help being stupid.

I kinda wanna scope out the dealers' hall on Friday when it's not too busy, then go bargain hunting on Sunday, but I might just get a Sunday ticket. Depends if there's any good events (there won't be).

>>6795919
>Amber
Well that confused me horribly for a minute. This is why I shouldn't be up at 5am.

>>6795917
I think if you've always worn kind of weird clothes, it's no biggie. Going from totally normal high-streety clothes to lolita must be a big step, though.

>>6795909
>Nia
Try again. Don't have to be your pet hate object to think you're an obsessive cunt.

>>6795061
To be fair, I am a complete cunt on the internet and I can see why people assume from that that I'm a complete cunt in real life as well. /r9k/ is all up in this thread and they have definite reason to detest me. Anyway, I won't post with trip in the next Britfag thread, doesn't seem right that the whole thing gets derailed just because of one person with a year-old vendetta (yes, I recognise you from last time, hello again!)

>>6794951
I don't think I am who you think I am, I didn't have a boyfriend in October. And concerning the boyfriend thing, well... why use a knife when you have a chainsaw, you know? Efficiency!

Lel, good job leejun
sure showed me
Thought I deleted the vampirefreaks but I'll get on that

Take everything you hear about everyone on /cgl/ with a pinch of salt.

>What do you like most about the event?
I really like how busy it is and the unashamed weebery of the dealer's hall- probably pretty unpopular points! I just like seeing the huge throngs of weebs having fun I guess. And it's nice to buy weeby Naruto stuff for my little brother. The Fox is nice, too.
>What do you like least about the event?
Real lack of interesting panels and events. The Homestuck panel last time is the only one I've ever bothered to go to. It also seems impossible to find out about anything that's going on on the day, you have to know beforehand because like fuck are the staff ever going to be remotely helpful.
>Got a funny/weird/creepy story from something that happened at MCM?
I have a kind of funny one. The first time I went, I was wearing new lolita shoes that were two sizes too small. I walked around in them all day and then fainted from the pain in the middle of the main hall. Then I went home like 'well fuck this then'. Definitely learnt my lesson about comfy shoes for cons.

It's useful to have it on for con threads though, especially when it comes to organizing room parties and stuff. Feel free to tell me who you are over facebook or whatever and we can just avoid each other without anybody else needing to know.

>>6789772
That's probably wise, extremist views are probably best disregarded unless you feel similarly strongly about them.

>>6789768
No more than misogynist is.

>>6789760
I don't get why everyone thinks I'm a feminist. I'm a misandrist. That's not the same thing.

>>6789751
Also, documenting all of this so if anything happens you can expect to be banned from MCM, lel.
