/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

People shouldn't cosplay anime shit to comic cons either, I am 100% for separating the two. Mostly, I'd just like a separation between western media and Japanese media. Why do video games get a pass? Well, can you really look at something like Fire Emblem or Ace Attorney and deny that it's anime? I feel like superhero shit pandering is one of the main culprits in drawing dudebros and normies to anime conventions, and honestly, that type of crowd makes me uncomfortable and is exactly the one I try to avoid. I have 0 affinity with comics or western tv shows. I'm even willing to give something like SU a pass because it's fairly anime-inspired and still quite a bit of a nerd thing, but I really don't see how Deadpool and Game of Thrones have anything to do with say, Touken Ranbu and Love Live. Combine this with the fact that most if not all comic cons are just glorified dealer rooms and I feel like they're a huge part of what's shitting up convention culture right now.
