BEHOLD
Everything wrong with anime cons summed up in one person.

Cons hire on countless faggots just like this, thinking they're getting hard-working, earnest volunteers who want to help make the show a big success, because they understand that a colossal event like an anime con needs every hand it can get.

Instead, the promise of a free room, free badge, and a position of authority just important enough to trigger an instance of the Stanford Prison Experiment does nothing but attract morons who think they are either master trolls or alpha weeaboos..

"Acting in-character" at all. It's a fucking convention. It's not your Gaia roleplay board. It's not your fan-fiction. You're some nerd in a costume. You're free to have fun, but don't treat this like it's some off-stage play.

You want to act in character? Spend all your time wandering around looking confused and scared and audibly wondering why the hell you're in a hotel full of monsters, school children, people who want your picture for some reason, robots, scantily clad women, people openly carrying around weapons and firearms..

I mean, seriously, what part of a con makes you think "I'm going to pretend to be my character!"

If they've got some pose or posture or whatever, then do that when someone wants a photo, but being the cunt who decides "Hey! I'm dressed as a homestuck! That means I can act like a dick/hump/fight with anyone dressed as a homestuck character and call it being in character!"

Worse still, faggots who think they're being in character are often prone to even more drama and bullshit from other people being in character. I've seen Hetalia cosplayers start fights with one another over "in-character"back-and-forth snarking.

It's a bullshit excuse and it's a dumb fucking thing to do seriously at conventions.

If your life is so shitty that escaping into a character for a weekend is the only way you can enjoy yourself, then maybe you should stop working on your cosplay and start working on all your fucking issues.

Fuck I mad.
