/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I really hope all restrictions get dropped in April or May. In Israel 97% of people who are dying right now are people who didn't want a vaccine. It doesn't make sense for everyone to suffer because somebody didn't want medical treatment.
The US is distributing 1,500,000 doses every day right now so we're on track to have most adults vaccinated in May. I don't see why this would need to continue.

>LVL Up Expo is kill

>>10554328
Reminder all of these cons who are cancelled will cease and exist in 2022.

>>10554400
There’s an asshole born every minute.

Probably shit ass Nakakon in Kansas City

>>10554400
>we're on track to have most adults vaccinated in May
This is COMPLETELY fucking false. We'd need to get 3-4 million people vaccinated per day to get to the herd immunity level by May. That's not going to happen.
Restrictions being dropped in April or May is not a possibility. Best case scenario is the 4th quarter of the year, and even that is wishful thinking.

>>10554434
We aren't waiting for herd immunity to drop restrictions. That's absurd.

>>10554436
herd immunity is important, BUT if the current covid rates continue and we don't have some superbowl, valentines, or any other holiday or travel related screw up, we might get cases to 0 or really low. so maybe then we can open up but if people start acting up right away, we gotta do it all over again.

>>10554443
Why would we? 80% of deaths are people over 65, and they're the ones getting vaccinated. If people aren't dying who cares if you get the sniffles?

>>10554328
Youve been using that unfunny picture for like 2 years now for every ax thread kill yourself

>>10554434
Go hole yourself up forever then and let people live their lives.


Also betting ACEN drops by march

>>10554434
herd immunity isn't the target, if the majority of people who would be the most likely to die of COVID are vaccinated then stuff can go on

>>10554458
Those people will be vaccinated (well, have the opportunity to be vaccinated) in the first wave of vaccinations.
If you think large or even mid sized conventions are gonna start happening after that first wave, you're going to be sorely disappointed. There will be some easing of restrictions (in the lesser populated states in particular), but it's not going to be anywhere near 'normal'.
It fucking sucks, but that's just the way it's going to be. The notion that there will be some dramatic change in restrictions in the first half of the year is nonsensical as the "no cons until 2024" doomerfag mentality.

>>10554454
ACEN will move into Iowa, Kansas or Missouri at best if Illinois Gov continues to fuck and not moving to open up fully.

>>10554467
>Those people will be vaccinated (well, have the opportunity to be vaccinated) in the first wave of vaccinations.
Have you not seen vaccination deaths are starting to spike up due to people taking the vaccine early. People are staying away from it.

>>10554579
I've seen articles about people developing rare blood disorders like autoimmune conditions where their bodies attack their platelets and they brain hemmorage and die. Only supposedly 32 reports, some of which may be repeats, and not all of them died possibly and the ones that are noted as dying are all over 50 or 60. But it's scary because the main issue is people having undiagnosed conditions that would have been signs they should avoid the vaccine because those conditions lead to this blood disorder when given other non COVID vaccines too. It's hard to know if your body has something like that going on when save serious emergencies and COVID a lot of people have been avoiding doctors and hospitals for the better part of a year at this point.

Debating on moving to Florida/Nebraska/Texas. Choosing one of the three.

Good idea or bad idea?

>>10554597
Texas is objectively the better state of the three but if you're moving purely for cons that seems a lil dumb. And we don't need anymore of you faggots moving here anyway.

>>10554597
Florida would be your best bet just head to a small town closer to the city and also be prepare for Hurricane season every year have food, tools and supplies at best.

>>10554602
Blame your Democratic leaders you voted even your Gov Abbot is betraying his own people.

>>10554610
Since when is Greg Abbot a Democrat?

I heard he was fucking over big cities (which he has a history of doing) directly or indirectly by not sending enough COVID vaccine doses but sending weirdly high amounts to more rural areas where people are less likely to get poked anyway. If we don't get cons in Texas again I blame shit like that.

>>10554602
Moving there for cons is a dumb idea, sure but if you’re desperate for a (reckless) weeb vacation, those states are the ones to watch

You forgot E3, OP

>>10554626
He's fucking those cities because they are refusing to open up fully and also the vaccines are making patients more sick than the virus. Seems like the media keeps lying to you.

>>10554633
>Moving there for cons is a dumb idea
It maybe dumb but it's surely the best and saving idea for AX.

>>10554664
E3 has been dead for years, this will be the year it finally kills itself for good.

>>10554688
>vaccines are making patients more sick than the virus


Even if every report of severe complications from the vaccine were 100% true with no caveats and we use the most optimistic COVID numbers this is false. I don't think the vaccine is perfect considering the short time it spent being tested and how it was only approved because this is an emergency situation according to the government, and I think the companies should be required to do further third party testing so we gain more info. But it will hopefully stop healthcare workers and weaker people from dying soon enough for cities to open.

Abbot doesn't target big cities because he gives a shot about opening up or people tho. He has done it forever because he hates Dems and cities tend to vote for Dems which is fair I guess. Austin in particular he is shitty to cause UT is there and he's an Aggie. Even though no one at UT has cared for a while about that retarded rivalry since they don't play football against each other anymore.

>>10554443
But we're gonna have screw-ups. Americans are so stupid and selfish that they can't even wear masks correctly over their mouth and nose, and they can't abstain from the hair salon for a month because muh freedoms. Any fantasy you have about a perfect situation where everyone behaves as responsible adults is pure masturbation. Tampa just had maskless partiers after the Superbowl, people are gonna continue travelling and partying maskless for Mardi Gras, spring break, 4th of July, etc.

>>10554664
Do they even allow cosplayers? Or just hired booth babes?

>>10554830
I think it’s all just press cons at the Microsoft theater now

>>10554445
>If people aren't dying who cares
leg amputation has a high survival rate too. Guess you don't mind long term damage as long as you don't die?

>>10554400
>on track to have most adults vaccinated in May.
older adults. The people under 30, who is mostly who goes to cons, won't be mostly vaccinated.

>>10554688
>the vaccines are making patients more sick than the virus.
this is a lie.

I could see Dragoncon pushing through since Georgia never went on lockdown. They will most likely have a heavy badge cap because no way in hell they want those 80k crowds. The jam packed days of the host hotels wont happen.

>>10554885
>They will most likely have a heavy badge cap because no way in hell they want those 80k crowds. The jam packed days of the host hotels wont happen.
Georgia and Florida will have fully packed crowds again by end of this year. I hope this happens to see coronabros will lose their shit like no tomorrow.

>>10554885
I don't expect a cap. My room was moved from 2020 to 2021 and I plan to enjoy it!

>>10554607
Ugh

>>10554981
This. The salt from the conventions that do happen is better than any drama we could have asked for.

>Signs an EO to ban conventions permanently

>/cgl/ wants their cons back
>cons start up again
>no one goes to cons any more either because they're scared of getting covid, don't have money due to job loss, or con has a very small cap to adhere the 25% capacity law that they can't get a badge anymore to attend

>>10554577
>Thinking cons moving to another state will solve the issue

>>10554997
Are they still going to move it to 2022?

>>10556307
If it works then it works.

>>10556295
Do that and you will be hanging from lamp posts outside.

>>10556320
I hope they do just to spite someone retarded enough to murder anyone over a con

>>10556320
>>10556329
No they won't because society will comply and say that banning mega conventions is the right thing to do in the name of public health and safety.

>>10556316
Sure if the con would like to hold it in some run down bingo hall in the middle of fuck nowhere USA. Cities in red states are dem controlled anyways so it's pointless to move and try to host a con there when they'll tell con organizers to go fuck themselves.

>>10554417
The cons that were able to run this time last year, Before Covid got /really/ bad will probably be alright this year, but if they can't go on next year.. it's rip

Now for the cons that happened (Well, canceled) during the pandemic (So spring, summer, fall and winter cons) are likely not going to happen this year - So it's looking like those probably will cease to exsist.

I think Otakon (????) is worried and has started a fund raiser. So we'll see

We gotta face it, kids - Cons as we know it likely won't ever be the same again and if they aren, it will be a really long time from now.

>>10556336
Society will not comply and this was never public health and safety this is all about control and power. Like I said if Biden and his administration does this which is less likely you can expect citizens will storm the capital and it will be much worse than the first one.

>>10556304
>no one goes to cons any more either because they're scared of getting covid
No one isn't scared of covid only Karens, coronabros and failures who want misery upon others. This is what happens at home when you stay at home too fucking much.

>>10556657
Katsucon is safe for now but if they cancelled next year it's all going to hell for the DMV cons since Otakon and Magfest are possible dead.

>>10556329
I will honor that fucker's memory.

>>10556723
Biden and the Dems are likely going to pass a law that would ban mass gatherings of anything north of 200 people.

>>10556731
Honor a retarded sperg willing to assassinate a politician for one weekend of overpriced irl animu and cosplay funsies?

>>10556744
That seems unlikely given they just secured enough vaccine supply to be able to vaccinate almost the whole country. As long as people don't mind getting poked the events will resume. Especially given that vaccination rates are beginning to outpace new case numbers for once. Maybe all the inclement winter weather across the whole country will keep dumbasses that shouldn't be partying or whatever else indoors long enough for these cases to continue to drop and things can begin to reduce restrictions locally fairly soon.

>>10556750
Who cares, cons should never come back.

>>10556729
Katsucon couldn't open even if they wanted to because the Gaylord (heh) hotel shut down right after Katsu 2020 and CPAC ended and hasn't been open since.

>mfw you need proof of a vaccination just to buy a con badge

>>10556802
Why would that be an issue? Cons and other entities that focus on entertainment especially have every reason to be very cautious and adhere to protective measures like masks or requiring vaccinations to their completely voluntary and optional spaces/events. They have to play it extra safe so they don't become the "super spreader" (I hate that term though) that leads to spikes in cases and ruin future events for others in the same industry by setting a negative example.

I think something like that would be more excessive than just waiting until things pass to have cons again, but I also see why event planners would want to use an abundance of caution

>>10556744
Like I said they are going to pass anything since vaccines are fault and could cause more deaths than the virus itself. We shall see how death toll will be in the next couple of months.

>>10556752
>Who cares, cons should never come back.
Cons are coming back whether you like it or not faggot.

>>10556983
Cons will never be what it was before. Over time, people will lose interest in attending and organizing them due to so much bureaucracy in the name of public health and safety.

>>10557007
They'll be back bigger and better in due time. People find conventions are fun, even if you don't personally like them.

>>10557018
How are conventions suppose to be fun now that you have to be fully aware anyone could be carrying covid all the time?

>>10557018
Gross, look at that super spreader event.

>>10557018
Anime Expo Florida Edition will be lit as fuck if it happens.

>ACen 2021 cancelled

LMAO good, 2 more years to flatten the curve! Wear 2 masks and ass-less chaps for rapid anal swabbing, GRANDMA KILLER!

>>10557018
In a perfect world everyone would wear a mask and social distance, which is unrealistic in a setting with hundreds of people packed like sardines.

Unless the convention plans to have literal mask police going around and kicking people out who don't follow guidelines I can;t see this happening in 2021.

Expect your favorite large con to be cancelled, its the reason why I haven't bothered to by AnimeNYC tickets this year.

Even if cons do come back, the programming is going to have so many SJW bullshit panels covering topics such as tackling stereotypes in anime, identity politics in pop culture, how to further advance LGBTQ in comics and manga. I just want to enjoy my anime and capeshit without BLM and liberals breathing down my neck.

>>10557095
Anime Central could have moved to Iowa than being in Illinois they just fucked themselves so hard.

>>10554577
>>10557208
Lol. The proximity to Chicago is one of the main things ACen has going for it. They're not going to move.

>>10557223
>They're not going to move.
Whelp they will suffer greatly even Chicago is already gone worse by now.

>>10557223
ACen would do well in Iowa than Illinois as far I can tell you.

>>10557229
Cons will eventually be back in some capacity as long as society doesn't completely collapse.
I'm not even gonna try to guess when that will be, but there will always be a desire to hold large gatherings of people whether it be for communal feelings or profit incentives.

>>10557235
Cool, you can go ahead and run an anime convention in Iowa then if you think it would do so well. ACen works well because it's by one of the worlds busiest airports and a very large population center.

>>10557240
>Cons will eventually be back in some capacity as long as society doesn't completely collapse.
Society is already collapsing. Whenever it is deemed to safely hold mass gatherings, people will stop going because they don't have the finances and motivation to attend anymore. Cons are moving in the same direction as movie theaters and will be extinct in a few years.

>>10557257
Society has been much in worse than this fake pandemic don't worry we will get this through.

>>10557257
Movie theaters were already being hurt by streaming services before the pandemic happened. They were never going to completely go away though.
There's not really an at home equivalent of an anime con that approximates the experience despite what cons have been trying to do for the past year.

>>10557264
>There's not really an at home equivalent of an anime con that approximates the experience despite what cons have been trying to do for the past year.
Well, we have to make the best out of what we can get. Cons are not a priority as of now, especially if it could potentially affect other people. I won't bitch and whine about when in-person cons go extinct because that's so selfish and offensive towards people who are struggling way more than you and I. This pandemic has affected everyone.

>>10557208
>>10557235
Yeah like anyone wants to go out of their way to travel to shit ass Iowa. Besides Iowa already has two cons that I can think of and they don’t exactly pull acen’s numbers

>>10557258

oh my sweet summer child.

this is going to get so much worse before it ever gets better.

>>10556270
I love seeing freaks on Twitter lose their mind that neither doxxing and harassing adults or trying to "preach" to minors about covid has had a positive response. It's like they haven't had someone disagree with them over anything in too long.

>>10557401
Iowa has a great atmosphere it will bring ACen numbers when they announce full capacity attendance soon.

>>10557414
Press X to Doubt.

>>10557125
then.. don't go to those panels? How much of a baby are you to be mad that panels exist that you don't like?

Is the "online cons are a perfect substitute, nobody wants to go to real cons anymore" thing bait or are people really that delusional

>>10557552
Not that guy but where they take over the schedule it can get annoying.

Went to a con a couple years where the entire morning block was social justice related panels and there was nothing good until like 2pm.

>>10557554
It's real. How can we even have real cons when convention centers are being used as homeless shelters and still in a pandemic with no end in sight?

>>10557578
Not what I asked but ok.

>>10557557
Do you really want to spend your entire time at the con in panels? Wouldn't you prefer to have your morning free to explore?

>>10557588
I would prefer to spend my time how I want to spend it and not have to work around garbage scheduling.

>>10557578
It's not bait. This will likely be the norm.

>>10557589
So you want every panel at any given time you want a to attend a panel to be catered to your specific interests? I don't like the SJW shit either but that sounds like peak entitlement. Even if none of the gender and race crap was on the schedule you'd still complain that the specific panels you want are at the "wrong" time. Scheduling is based on the guests' availability as well as other factors and can't always be the most convenient for you personally.

>>10557604
Ok anon have fun at your cosaying with autism panel

>>10557625
I don't even really go to cons for panels. If I wanted to sit in a chair and watch internet personalities talk for an hour I'd stay home and watch YouTube vids lol

>>10557627
>doesn't go to cons for panels
>thinks they should have a say on them anyways
And you're calling other people entitled

>>10557631
I don't think I should have a say in how the panels are planned and while I hate the SJW shit I am not the one claiming anything needs to change or not, but anons whining about them not matching their personal schedule are whiny.

>>10557634
You're whining significantly more than anyone saying "hey I'm not a fan of the sjw panels"

>>10557548
How exactly are they going to pull acen numbers when they’ve never done so in the past?

>>10557641
Cool, ur entitled to that opinion

>>10557548
Seeing as how ACen attendance numbers are currently at zero it's not too hard to meet or exceed that.

Cons will never return. Which is a good thing.

I'm glad that our world is now just being locked in our rooms forever, playing at being SS for any sign of whites, men, and autists not groveling on their knees on Twitter.

Awsome, you all did a great job.

>>10557114
Which is funny since Cuomo and every other governor in this hellhole country didn't even wait a fucking month before getting on camera and admitting "yeah we stuffed all the elderly people together to get them to die faster because we just couldn't make Trump look good."

Boy I sure do love insulin pumps being $2,000 again instead of $100 like they were under Trump. Hey maybe at least we'll get another $2,000 to last us through July. Any day now we'll be getting that $1,400. Can't wait to receive my $600.

>>10557834
>Which is funny since Cuomo and every other governor in this hellhole country didn't even wait a fucking month before getting on camera and admitting "yeah we stuffed all the elderly people together to get them to die faster because we just couldn't make Trump look good."
If only Trump were, like, president or something and had power to do something about it. But yea, state governors, over half of which are republican, all just tried to hardest to make republicans look bad.

> like they were under Trump.
You mean like they were for an entire 1 month?

>>10557860
It was a good fucking month.

But yeah, Trump's too weak to save anything much less his business and this country doesn't deserve to be saved. Fuck I don't deserve to be saved, I can't even hold down a job or not alienate my friends. I just had this foolish notion that things were going to get better for me instead of worse but now that I'm an adult and can see the error of my ways, I see that this is just what I deserve.

>>10557554
> Is the "online cons are a perfect substitute, nobody wants to go to real cons anymore" thing bait
Yes, bait. Every sizeable thread on here has to have at least one "no cons until 2023/4/5" doomerfag, and at least one "online cons are the future" person. Sometimes they're probably the same person.
I realize people like different things and have different opinions, but you can just search online and find literally everything you'd see at an 'online con' at any time.
Want to see a panel? Go look on Youtube.
Want to see art or shop for collectibles? Go look on Deviantart or Etsy.
Wat to see cosplay? Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
There's also no real money to be made from online cons which is why many of the ones that have cancelled recently aren't bothering to have them. Thus, they aren't sustainable and there's no future in them.
I challenge any of the people that pretend to think online cons are so great to intelligently refute any of those points.
They won't, and if they respond to arguments like those at all, it will amount to something like "you're stupid, kys".

>Mfw Reed Pop buys out AX and SDCC.

>>10558318

>>10557018
Bigger yes, but better - we'll see. This is probably on me for not being in the cosplay scene (I was a stick until the year before rona started when I finally started working out, but then rona closed the gyms down and undid all my great work), but the past few cons I've been to felt less like going to a convention and more like going to an anime-themed shopping mall. I'm more likely to find recommendations from enthusiasts for shows that I'd enjoy by lurking on this site than by looking at things at cons, and the same goes for "anime-adjacent" hobbies that I have as well. Having said that, swap meets are still fun and just about the only time when I actually talk to strangers at cons, so maybe I'm just doing this whole con thing wrong.

Also what >>10557125 said, we've already lost San Japan and MAGFest to "lack of diversity", and more cons will likely follow their lead. The last A-Kon I went to was the 2018 one before they lost the convention center, and there were so many pride flags everywhere that it felt less like an anime convention and more like a nerd version of a pride parade. I think people should be free to express themselves like that since that's what cons are all about, but if it becomes this much about social justice then it's tempting to just leave the con scene behind altogether as someone going there for anime.

>>10558567
Things were bad when Trump was in office and things got better when Biden came into office. Almost like one of them is actually better at the job than the other.

>>10558318
I wonder what shape ReedPOP will be in if they have to cancel all of their cons again this year. They've shoved almost all of them into the 4th quarter of the year hoping that restrictions will be loosened up enough to hold them then, which seems to be very wishful thinking. And they haven't even set a date for NYCC yet, which shows they have even less confidence that con will happen.

>>10558686
>Things were bad when Trump was in office and things got better when Biden came into office.
That was not the case and you know that this all on incompetence on the democrats didn't want Trump to ban China even push for people to hug and to enjoy everything while the virus was spreading.

>>10558689
ReedPop will have to push moving AX and Comic Con to Florida this year if possible. Ron DeSantis is probably gonna give a ton of money ReedPop in order to do this.

This is the best interest to save themselves from losing a lot of money.

at this fucking point. once vaccines are publicly available give it two months and cons should start up again.

you dont get the vaccine, you can't complain about getting covid. we never going to get to the 70% herd immunity that fauci talks about

>>10558792
What if I don't want the vaccine and don't care if I get corona?

Who ever is telling you this stuff is lying to you and you need to recognize that. covid is nothing like the flu, its significantly more dangerous in both its death rate and long term health affects.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLmMPOHDwM

>>10558792
Lol. There are so many anti-vax people out there that we're likely never going to hit a sufficient number to effectively deal with this. Vaccine distribution has also been a total shitshow up until this point.
Even with everything not really under control we're probably still going to see more things open back up at some point in the not so distant future.

2022 has a chance to be more "normal" but the virus won't be gone.
I could see small cons happening at that point, but not in the way that they've historically been held. Things are gonna be weird for a while.

People ages 0-60 have a 99.86% change of recovering. This is based on the numbers in Ontario Canada. People ages 60 and up have 80% recovery. Most of it comes from the ages 80 and up with 60-69 being around 97% recovery. 70-79 at 90% recovery rate.
Covid isn't deadly when looking at raw data. We also seen that the deaths in the US were mostly done in Dem states. NYC has their issues of sending sick people to nursing homes causing a high death toll. Most of the dead are coming form old age homes.
Even when looking at Ontario Canada more then half of the deaths come from nursing/retirement homes. With 95% of all deaths being ages 60 and up.

>>10559060

the recovery rate was never the issue, it's that at risk people have to go to the hospital in order to recover which strains the medical system.

>>10559434
Risk people should stay home or advised to stay if they are suffering. This is now their fault or all on the government and politicians who abused their power.

>>10559102
>People ages 0-60 have a 99.86% change of recovering.
thats 360,000 deaths if everyone aged 0-60 in the US got the virus, which, btw, total, nearly half a million have died from it. over 2 million worldwide.
but as they say, the death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.

>>10559440
>Risk people should stay home
>>10559102
>more then half of the deaths come from nursing/retirement homes.

I do love it when people manage to argue against their point from one post to another.

Florida:
>Otakufest already happened in January
>Mizucon confirmed for June
>Supercon confirmed for summer
>AFO confirmed for June
>Metrocon confirmed for July
>TBCC confirmed for July
>Megacon confirmed for August
>Iwai confirmed for November

>>10559905
It's feels good to be a floridian it definitely fucking does.

>>10559532
> "confirmed"
So yeah, every planned convention is confirmed right up until the day they're postponed or cancelled?
I can't doubt that any of these will happen, because Florida. But you can bet that if those larger cons happen in Florida happen in the summer, there will be restrictions.
With that said, I guess every state is going to go through the "open, but with restrictions" phase with cons. Florida will just get it out of the way earlier.
Enjoy your 25% capacity Megacon, with masks, I guess.

>>10559970
Cases are plummeting every day, we're currently at the lowest numbers we've seen since October and still dropping.

>>10559532
>>10559910
God I fucking hate it here with you fucking retards. Fuck Florida.

>>10559977
Yeah, that's true, and a reason for some amount of optimism.
However, I think people are looking at those coronavirus charts, and getting way too optimistic just because of how far things have fallen since we peaked in January.
We still have a long way to go. The decline in cases will fall at a slower and slower rate as time goes on. We may very well see it rise again at some point (certainly nowhere near the peak January levels, though.)
I can't predict the future, but I just don't see any way that mid to large size conventions will happen at full capacity this summer.

>>10559977
It's also been extremely cold in most parts of the country recently and lots of people are staying home due to snow.
It's too soon to tell if it's due to things actually getting a bit better or things just not getting accurately reported.

>>10560010
Wasn't the cold supposed to make numbers go up because of more people staying inside and therefore in close quarters? That's all I was hearing back in like October

>>10560017
It is exactly what you heard. But pepperoni nipple magoo up there just swallows whatever the tv feeds him and shits it back out his mouth.

>>10554328
I can't believe I spent all that fucking money on my first, really professionally done cosplay, and now I won't even get to wear it to a con until I'm almost thirty...

>>10559910
Meanwhile in Texas our government fucks up badly but even worse than that are all the people who want to turn our state into their own personal little soapbox about how if Texas doesn't become California IMMEDIATELY then we should be nuked off the map "for our own good."

Yeah, we got our problems. Fuck off and let us deal with them.

>>10560089
Head to Florida for your first con anon.

>>10560089
What’s the cosplay?

>>10554467
>no cons until 2024

That is way too optimistic

>>10554328
I want to do Holiday Matsuri again this year. How likely is it for us to have a modicum of normalcy in Florida by mid December? I’ve pretty much written off Megacon as a no go.

>>10558446
Should've called in artillery strikes on the BLM riots.

>>10560479
>Megacon
Florida will be back to normalcy next month at best because March and April is gonna be lit with tons of spring breakers. Also AX and Comic Con are planning negotiate deals with the state of Florida.

>>10560579
>Also AX and Comic Con are planning negotiate deals with the state of Florida.
Sauce?

>>10560017
If it was like normal winter weather, sure. People would be more inclined to go out and spend time in shops and have indoor gatherings.
But the weather has been absolute shit so far this year. This winter is one of the overall worst in recent times with lots of snow and below zero temperatures. People are more likely to stay home in those situations.

>>10560639
Humans are natural risk takers they would leave the state until the power comes back up. Deep down this is gonna end Green Energy for good you don't fuck with Texas man.

>>10560587
Wishful thinking but it's very possible AX and SDCC to rethink their plans for future if California continues to wreck themselves with Newsom and Garcetti still at the helm. I can see AX head to Florida very soon even SDCC because DeSantis and his boys are giving out a ton money for these events in full attendance.

Texas is out of the question because snow storm power outages Vegas is very much possible. Florida seems like the main runner of having AX and Comic Con there.

For now. I doubt a snow storm in Texas would last for months and months

Nah.

Seems like Anime Expo on twitter has been very silent maybe they are planning something big time on moving out of California.

Stfu about AX moving. No west coast con is moving to your 3rd world shithole of a state.

>>10560662
I said absolutely nothing about Texas. Winter has been bad everywhere in the US this year.

I’m not happy about it but this is how it is. I’ll stay home, work on myself, my coordinates, think of a new cosplay with a good embroidery project, just generally have a ‘me year’. Sure I hate how it is right now too and I also feel like I’m missing out on some things but I can’t ignore the health facts either. Masks and distancing is the best way.

They have a better case decline and deaths per capita than California. The restrictions were irrelevant security theater that only served to funnel more money from small businesses to billionaires. You cheered while the wealthiest people in the world became wealthier and wore your "I love science" shirt while watching any chance of a thriving middle class in the developed world was eaten alive by Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
Congratulations.

>>10562551
>this state has a death wish
California is already dead.

>>10562546
What do you mean first con? I've already been to two and I'm going to another next month.
Hard to believe Florida's actually the place with the common sense this time.

>>10562552
it was proven that florida was hiding their covid numbers, desantis sent a mob of cops to a covid scientist's house because she reported the true numbers. no one likes that billionaires profited off of the pandemic, they need to be heavily taxed, we knew that before and now, during the pandemic. letting a million more people die would've helped small business? wtf are you on?

>>10562552
>while watching any chance of a thriving middle class in the developed world was eaten alive by Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
Lol, fuck the rich, but also fuck the bourgeoisie who strive to become that themselves.
Nothing but a bunch of asshats who become landlords and fuck over housing markets for people who actually need it for shelter and don't want to pay some shithead's mortgage on one of their twelve rental properties.

There's a difference between living comfortably and being a massive braindead consumer who is just another part of the machine.

>>10562600
It must be frustrating to be so certain that you'll never amount to anything that you resent those that do

>>10562585
>desantis sent a mob of cops to a covid scientist's house because she reported the true numbers.
She admitted she lied to this numbers apparently to make DeSantis look very bad. Many of these covid scientists are selling out themselves to push more fear porn.

>>10562570
I'm making plans to moving back Florida if Maryland or others states do not open up this year soon. Larry Hogan and his goons cannot continue to fuck up everything including Katsucon and others.

>>10562612
when did she do that? I follow some real covid doctors/researchers online and they're saying if we continue with the vaccination plans and social distancing, we could start going back to normal daily activities in the fall, even late summer. it's covid deniers who are holding us back. if you don't wear a mask and avoid all precautions, you're only extending the pandemic. no one is pushing "fear porn," no one WANTS to be locked down, they're pushing scientific information so we can eventually get out of this pandemic.

>>10562609
The notion that I have to "amount to" something is what's wrong.
I'd much rather live a life where I don't have to fuck over and step on other people. I don't need to have more money than I know what to do with.
I can be a part of my community and live a fulfilling life rather than trying to bury existential dread with consumer goods.

I don't want actual conventions to return since they are now frowned on by society. It's better to accept online virtual cons moving forward since they are free and safe.

>>10562679
>I don't want actual conventions to return since they are now frowned on by society.

>>10562622

>>10562622
You mean the scientific facts of "wear three masks" to protect yourself after they told us the mask is only to protect other people and it specifically says on the box that the mask does not block Corona virus?

Covid is fake. I just enjoy watching all you normies overreact about it.

>>10563200
Funny thing i've been overreacting about this last year and today. Overall we all are fucking screwed in the end.

>>10563204
No we're not. You're just hyperventilating like the others. I went through an entire year fine. No mask, no obeying anything. I live in the supposed high impact areas yet people are walking around fine. Stop listening to the fear mongering news. Its proganda. They want to make you afraid cause thats what they are paid to do.

Is it hilarious that no one on the news or in any of the articles you read once told you the words: "Everything will be okay." They don't even try to give you hope. If there is some semblance of intelligence in your head, maybe you can at least see that at least.

Everything is fine. Covid is nothing. Never was, never will be.

>>10563206
I'm agreeing what you are saying and I know this whole pandemic is a joke and I'm overreacting about this whole thing.

>>10563200
This.

>>10563206
I've literally had people in my family get covid, the news has no responsibility to make you feel like it'll be ok. Of course it'll be ok, but that doesn't mean it's good to be irresponsible. Being pragmatic and considerate of others =\= being fearful. Grow the fuck up.

>>10563206
So basically you're a selfish piece of shit?

The whole "covid is overblown/fake" conspiracy is fucking retarded. If anything it would make more sense for "them" to downplay covid so the economy wouldnt suffer. Same way they downplay climate change and overpopulation.

That's such short-term thinking. The big picture is the destruction of small businesses (which helps them in the long-run) and instilling OBEDIENCE which you've so readily fallen for.

>>10563206
Second This.

>>10563230
>I've literally had people in my family get covid
I grow tired of this anecdote. I guarantee you would have had the same thing even if covid was never reported. And Im sure this isnt the first time anyone in your family has gotten sick. Cognitive bias makes you believe that no one has ever had the flu or cold before 2020.

>>10563237

People die more from eating fatty foods and little exercise, but the government hasn't done anything to stop them there. They just fire focused on this virus from China all of a sudden, from a place that our government has been working at for decades. Hm, suspicious af. What's even more suspicious...

>no flu cases

Surely you see something wrong here. Surely.

>>10563493
maybe people are treating covid as being worse than the flu because covid is worse than the flu.

>>10563493
>500k dead in the US after one year
>"its just the flu bro"

In case you want to pull some "well people for from the flu every year" bullshit, it's true, 12-60k people die annually. But covid is way deadlier and can have long-term effects even after recovery.

>>10563493
>People die more from eating fatty foods and little exercise, but the government hasn't done anything to stop them there.
You don't know nor understand the difference between chronic and acute health issues. If you did you wouldn't have posted something this retarded.

My mother died from blunt force trauma in a car accident and they listed "covid" as the cause of death. Fuck you and Fauci dick sucker.

Any idea of when cons won't require face masks? I imagine in some states/cities without a mandate, they might be optional in open air areas, but indoor rules might be different. I'd really rather go to a con where I can see people's faces.

Except no one has shown any long term effects yet.

Btw, the flu and influenza already have long term effects after getting it. So this isn't new.

>>10564055
BASED

>>10564429
Not any of the ayrt here but all this sperging about how COVID is no worse than the flu just means we should all be more serious and proactive about avoiding/reducing spread of the flu (which a lot of people were already doing in places it spreads easily like schools and college campuses with trying to make sure people get their shots well before COVID actually became a thing, and in Asian countries wearing a mask when you're sick or during flue seasons (or heck even just when you're ugly that day so no one has to see you) as a courtesy to others has always been common.

covid deniers /pol/ is that way >>>>

>>10564478
>Not any of the ayrt here but all this sperging about how COVID is no worse than the flu just means we should all be more serious and proactive about avoiding/reducing spread of the flu
People are always going to be nasty or unhealthy. I use to be like you, where I thought I could help people eat better and do more proactive things, but most people are content being slobs. So instead of worrying about others, I just worry about my own health, and help whoever accepts it. When someone says "I don't want to", I just move on. They aren't my responsibility, and they should not be yours.

No one wants your "courtesy".

60 minutes has an over 50 year history of high quality journalism, winning over 150 rewards in their history for their excellent reporting. They have no gain from lying about covid and no long history false reporting. There is no reason to not trust them on their report, as it also can be corroborated by many other sources such as:

how so? Like, how does big pharma benefit? And what about the countless independent researchers that agree?

>>10564682
Networked friends and lobbyists. It's not hard to find out the links between people like 60 minutes cause most people don't care about it. The only people who do the research are people like myself who was taught to critical think about things. School should have taught everyone how to use their brain but apparently most people don't. I knew where to look cause I already studied the big networks a long time ago, but one day you may come to accept that all these news conglomerates are not who they appear to be. Nothing to do with conspiracies, it's just usual human will. Treat these companies like the mob, and everything makes sense.

Don't do like this guy here >>10564674 and just ignore it by calling someone pol or whatever. We were born with higher cognitive brains for a reason. You can be a monkey or you can choose to use more than 10% of your brain power.

You need to take a step back if quarantine has made you believe it's rational to believe anonymous strangers on 4chan claiming obama was drinking orphan's blood and travelling people through secret underground tunnels more than anyone who backs up their claims.

Florida cons are requiring masks outside. While you can walk into any store without a mask now without much trouble cons still require it, likely due to how they rely on the public's goodwill more.

>>10564907
>Go back to /pol/, it's ironic to say thats stupid or propaganda when all your derailing is propaganda.
Okay, so tell me if you can find any articles that say "we'll survive" or give any other happy news that isn't fearmongering 24/7 about covid. Your types are quick to find another negative post, but you have lots of trouble ever showing any kind of hopeful messages. It's like you love the depression so you surround yourself with nothing but bad news constantly. You're addicted to the attention and virtue signaling.

Thats because covid is bad. There is nothing positive about it.

covid is good, covid will save the world.

Wow, you’re stupid

No, you're stupid.

Reminder that this is only continuing because people are obliging lockdowns. If you wouldn't go along with a predator that offers you candy, then you shouldn't be okay with covid-19 restrictions.

Momo-con has been canceled.

>>10565858
absolute galaxy brained take by this genius. pandemic restrictions are identical to child molesters

>>10565915
>Momocon cancelled

>>10565921
Uh yeah politicians and child molesters are are both known for predatory behavior against children this isn't exactly a new idea.

>>10565858
>Reminder that this is only continuing because people are obliging lockdowns.
Let them continue lockdowns because it will be one step closer civil violence between the people and the government that no one ever voted them.

>>10565915
>Momo-con has been canceled.
In the next couple of months Momo-con staffers will post "Save Momo-con" charity event for closing it's doors for good. Congrats you all deserve it.

Good luck trying to get homeless people out of convention centers if they have been converted to a shelter. It would be really bad PR for the local governments to kick out the homeless people in favor of your local weeb nerd con. So expect bums to shit, pass, and leave syringes all over convention center grounds for the unforeseeable future.

I doubt cons are ever coming back when everyone just wants to watch anime, play video games, and zoom chat all day.

Based dubs and thank you based Corona Chan for fucking AX over a milestone.

My fuckin sides

Otakon met their funding goals so they're still holding on for a bit. 9 time out of 10 they will pull out of DC and head back to Baltimore in 2023.

>>10554745
the masks do literally nothing but make the retarded feel as if they are doing something.
cons wont be coming back, we will eat bugs in pods and own nothing and be happier for it.

i wish covid removed everyone over 60.

Where were you when AX is fucking kill.

>>10566275
The masks are literally covid spreads i'm not even joking.

>>10566131
Covid isn't rampant now the cases are going down, the problem lies the fucking tyranny where Newsome and Garcetti are abusing their power like no tomorrow.

>>10566331
The homeless now own the Convention Centers. Good luck forcing them back onto the streets in favor of weeb cons without city governments taking negative PR from the public and media.

>>10566331
People who go to AX voted for these clowns in power so they get what they deserve.

>>10566030
This assumes that all convention centers are government owned. Privately owned convention centers can do whatever the fuck they want

>>10566378
I believe the Convention Centers that have been converted to homeless shelters across the country are city owned and operated.

>>10566331
There were 71,000 cases and 1900 deaths yesterday. The problem is from right wingers not taking mask rules seriously. In Asian countries where masks are taken seriously, their cases and deaths are 1/10th of ours.

>>10566386
>The problem is from right wingers not taking mask rules seriously
You need to stop posting.

>>10566365
They can make them leave just call the National Guard or LAPD to get rid of the mess.

>>10566396
Just compare photos from left wing BLM protests to photos of right wing Trump rallies and its extremely obvious which side takes wearing masks seriously and which don't.

Someone people need to get a grip. I saw this exchange on fb:

>“OMG I can’t believe someone I know is going to an anime con happening this April in Ohio when the state opens back up! How inconsiderate!”
>“But the next con in Ohio is Colossal in June?”
>“Well no, but the state is reopening up a tiny bit in April!”

So you’re upset that someone is going to an anime con in Ohio in April when the state is gonna open back up but there are no cons happening there in April and the state may only relax restrictions a tiny bit?

>>10566427
>Colossal Con coming back in April with full attendance
I want to believe.

>>10566427
Stop listening to losers. They're just virtue signalling and getting their rocks off in trying to feel superior. Those fools will sooner throw their values away if society tells them its okay to no longer care about covid. They're two faced losers with no values of their own. Stop listening to idiots.

>>10566406
Nigger Lies Matter protests also had dipshits not wearing masks, your point?

>>10566099
what is the source of this?

>>10554328
Canada we lost Anime North and Yeticon.
Pretty sure we lost Otakuthon

>>10554328
I think the main problem is not covid, it's that the con admin are naturally not risk takers and further will follow whatever the government tells them what to do. Which is funny cause our scene, including the music scene, are suppose to be naturally against whatever the normies care about. Instead of being inside, we should all be defying orders left and right with open protests and doing whatever you want. I never seen youth so scared in my entire life. Youth usually went against the grain and took risks.
