Anime North 2021 was canceled last week.
I don't expect otakuthon which was 2 weeks after the postpone AN date.

Odds of animenyc happening this year?

>>10566676
Probably better than most conventions at this point. I'm hoping to god that shit will be back to normal by November.

>>10566676
On the edge I'd say. Depends on how well the vaccination rate goes in NY. I have a feeling though that if the organizers can't foresee a big enough physical attendance for the space, they may preemptively choose the virtual or skip-a-year option.

I'm wondering what is going to happen with the Colossalcons. Colossalcon East and Colossalcon Texas would seem to have a decent chance of happening since they aren't happening until fairly late in the year. The water parks at both venues have already been open for a while. And of course Texas gives zero fucks about corona so that bumps their odds up even higher.
Ohio/Prime is the wildcard. I don't see that happening in June, and I'm not sure if they'll postpone or cancel it entirely.
There's no fucking way they're going to hold all 3 events within the span of a couple of months, so if Ohio gets postponed, either East or Texas is gonna get the axe.
I'm going to be fucking livid if it's East that gets cut.

>>10566704
>I'm going to be fucking livid if it's East that gets cut.
It's inveitable, the East is already fucked at this point.

>>10566705
Ou???? Was alright back in 2019. Was there some drama or staff issues?

>>10566715
Don't know it might be money issues?

>>10566705
Why do you say that?
I realize that none of these cons may happen, but why is East fucked, in particular.

>>10566625
Love the photo blaming everyone else but fauci and his ever distancing goal posts despite the flu going down because of people "following stricter hygiene"

Fuck you liberals. The conventions are gone because you faggots suck an old white mans dick and in your feverent worship, have to wear 5 fucking masks now. Do us all a favor and hang yourself to stop your breathing. That will truly stop the spread.

Blerdcon hasn't cancelled yet despite having a July date and may potentially have an event due to it being a smaller convention overall.

But blacks amirite?

>>10566770
because blacks are immune to "super spreader" events. Screaming black lives matter with no mask on suddenly makes you immune. Just look at when Biden won and they were all having parties thinking they were getting free 2k gibs.

The riots don't count because that was a bunch of skinny white fucks pretending to care about BLM

do you think A-kon will be cancelled again? Phoenix comic whatever the fuck it’s called now?

Once Otakon's contract is up at the DC convention center they're gong back to Baltimore.

Otakon 2021
Nah, it’s dead

Cons in general seem to be holding their breath hoping that this all blows over before the summer hits. Anime Expo and SDCC aren't going to get canceled unless they damn well are forced to.

>>10566949
Anime Expo is basically confirmed cancelled.
We'll likely get word of other major summer convention cancellations (SDCC, PAX East) in the next few weeks.
I think most people realize that things aren't gonna be anywhere back to normal by summer.
There's a possibility we could be getting close to normalcy by fall, so maybe some summer cons will postpone until later in the year.
So far though, the majority of organizers seem cool with just flat out cancelling.

>>10566816
A-Kon is almost guaranteed cancelled. Any venue large enough to host it is being used as a vaccine site and then there’s the international guests issue.

>>10566891
Otakon used to be the best anime convention in the game. Watching them fall from grace like this is fucking depressing.

>>10566816
With zero updates and 3 months to go it doesn't look optimistic.

>>10566959
Anyone wanna dial in to the LA meeting as a member of the public and let them know about your feelings regarding AX?

A-Kon moved to 2022.

momocon also cancelled
didnt even know that seishuncon was still around

>>10567044
>momocon also cancelled
Dragoncon will do the same but announce it in August. Even when they cancel, plenty of people will show up to the host hotels anyway to party.

>>10566769
Republicans were in charge during the entire pandemic until Jan 15th. Blaming liberals is absolutely delusional.

>>10567044
>didnt even know that seishuncon was still around
not a good con, so not missing much

>>10566715
>>10566717
The only drama in recent history with Colossalcon was the stuff that happened right before CCE in 2019 (when Donnell "stepped down" and some other staff were replaced). That's pretty much blown over now.
I'm not sure where they stand financially, but if there are money troubles, that would affect all the Colossalcons and not East specifically.
The anon that said East is fucked was probably talking out of their ass.

SDCC has officially been cancelled.

>>10566659
Ita baloney! People in Toronto are big wieners. Doesnt help that our government is fueling the fear...

any hybrid cons that anyone knows about? one in my state is doing virtual panels but online dealers, artists, and games. would post name but don't want to completely out myself since it's really our only con

>>10567170
Did you mean to type "online" when you meant "in-person"?
Because if the panels are virtual (online), and the other stuff you mentioned is online, then what part of the con is physical?

>>10567162
>SDCC split into July 2021 virtual event and November 2021 in-person event

Newsom is supposedly having a press conference tomorrow to loosen the tier restrictions on sporting events, conventions, and theme parks. AX had at one point been planning on the same thing, with an in-person event in the fall.

>>10567203
yeah my mistake. panels online, vendors and games in person. seems like a decent compromise to me, so i wondered if any other cons were doing it

>>10567232
One of the big things with the SPJA in addition to AX is that it hosts a much smaller, more industry focused event Project Anime immediately before AX. Since it's way smaller SPJA could try doing that in person in July, but that'll depend on if Japan gets vaccinated enough for anime execs to fly over just for industry shit.

Japan is worried about vaccines and shit cause their government is trying to ram through holding the Olympics this summer.

>>10566891
$34k? Damn that’s like twice what dashcon strangled out of their attendees

>>10567162
>>10567232
I doubt the November event will go through.

Why the fuck are we listening to a need with a boner for power on medical issues.... the absolute state of the world...

>>10567270
We should spend another year continously vaccinating and recovering.

>>10567303
The only thing we need to recover from is our crippling debt and homeless problem. Which would clear up if they stopped locking down because of high case counts and low deaths counts

>>10567249
not sure how you can read that that and assert not cons this or next year.
>>10567306
>low deaths counts
half a million people in the US in a year isn't low.
We spent $2.4 trillion in response to just ~3,000 people dying 20 years ago, so spendings trillions in response to half a million dying is nothing.

>>10566959
>So far though, the majority of organizers seem cool with just flat out cancelling.
Most of these cons end up cancelling do go out of business right? Cancelling them for two years straight would hurt them a lot.

>>10567232
Newsom is scarred he's bout to get recalled and his buddy Cuomo from NY is about to get fucked in ass soon with no lube.

>Republicans were in charge during the entire pandemic
Democrats were in charge of the hospitals, the media that kept fearmongering, and in the pockets of China. Hollywood and the hospitals, all funded by Big Pharma, who funds the Democrats, force fed enough fear in the world to make people believe the virus was bigger than it actually was.

Everything is the Democrats fault, and thats coming from someone who doesn't care for politics at all. Both parties are bad, but Democrats have all the blood on them.

They're just canceling cons to virtue signal now. It's not even about safety.

>>10567325
A lot of those deaths are not deaths OF covid but deaths WITH covid. Also half million Americans isnt much in the grand scheme. Its like 0.001% of the population majority of which were either old or sick already. Don't get me wrong any deaths isnt good but life goes on we the 99.999% need to continue living. Ita not worth destroying our countries over

Who cares, cons will never ever be the same again.

You can look at the data yourself right here https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/
28.5m cases and .5m deaths.

>Everything is the Democrats fault, and thats coming from someone who doesn't care for politics at all.
What is wrong with your brain to make such a contradictory statement?

>>10567379
>A lot of those deaths are not deaths OF covid but deaths WITH covid.
no, they aren't.
>million Americans isnt much in the grand scheme.
Then why continue living yourself? If half a million people don't matter, then you, as one person, must matter even less. So why continue?

>>10567400
>no, they aren't.
Look it up. A lot of the deaths are not actually caused by covid but the dead people test positive so they mark it down as such
>Then why continue living yourself? If half a million people don't matter, then you, as one person, must matter even less. So why continue?
Thats retarded. This website is for 18+ only kiddo.

>>10567249

Read the fucking article. He says globally, he is confident schools will be fully open by Fall.

Yeah the rest of the world doesn't have the luxury of having massive pharma corporations based in their countries so they're going to have to wait to get their vaccines. But that doesn't mean America will still be locked down.
---
That aside..

Any word on when the first big con is that we're confident about? I feel like Metrocon will have the balls to go on in Florida.

>>10567400
Hey guys look, the tranny dosen't understand what a California (the most liberal fucking trash retarded state next to pierce nipples mob boss from ny) doctor doing surgery while in a zoom court has nothing to do with how retarded doctors and nurses are acting right now.

don't even bothering arguing with that fucking retard man. They praise science but will wear masks smeared with literal shit just to virtue signal. Its like all these sanctuary cities screaming at us to let more in, but god forbid we send them all to those cities. They suddenly freak out.

so you take back your statement then? You are you going full stalin with that "death of a million.. " quote

>>10567472
let me know when you decide to post something actually relevant to the topic.

>>10567473
500,000 people, anon, not one person. over 500,000 is how many have died so far from covid in the US alone.

>>10567341
You would think so. However, the majority of cons that have cancelled for the 2nd year in a row seem to be very nonchalant about it and aren't making any indication they're in big financial trouble.
Actually, the only one I can think of that is acting like they may never come back and is for and begging for money is Otakon.

>>10567544
Were they hoping to sell some badges or something?

>>10567362
You can't pin this on the convention organizers. They have no choice but to follow the regulations put in place by state government. If they tried to do otherwise they'd be shut down and fined.
Once conventions are able to be legally held at a capacity where they stand to profit, they'll be happening. Yes, some organizations love to posture and virtue signal, but they won't do so if it means they'll lose money, or go out of business entirely.

>>10566816

cons will come back anon. spend this time saving money and making cosplays, that way when cons happen you’ll have a good time.

>>10567667
I'm glad I was able to squeeze in a few con visits before everything shutdown.

>>10567400
I love how you ignored everything I said about the Democrats and just posted another Democrat-sponsored source. Talk about not having any critical thinking skills

>>10567646
Fair argument. There is a lot of pressure by the governments basically making sure no one can mass gather. But that doesnt mean you cant throw a convention elsewhere. Hotels are still private businesses.

>>10567672
It turns out that people don't make as many costumes as they'd like due to the lack of time but the lack of motivation, such as a con on the horizon to attend.

>>10567698
Because what democrats did or said means nothing, as they weren't in charge. Trump was president, senate is republican controlled, and majority of states are governed by republicans.
Blaming democrats for awful response to the pandemic is absolutely delusional.

>>10567776
>Because what democrats did or said means nothing, as they weren't in charge
They owned the source you posted. Why do you think democrats cannot lie? Realize I think republicans lie, too. But why can you yourself not fathom they dont lie to you?

>>10567700
Private businesses are subject to state regulations as well. This is why bars, restaurants, gyms, etc, have been shut down or are running at a limited capacity.
The only way around state regulations is to move a con to another state which has less strict regulations. I'm not aware of any convention that has plans to do that.
Some people around here said that AX was considering doing that, but they extended their contract with the LACC to 2030, so that shows how much people around here know.

>>10567815
I wanted to go to AX last year, too. Man.

>>10567692

>They owned the source you posted.

>Why do you think democrats cannot lie?
I don't think that. I said what they say doesn't matter. They could have lied every single hour of every single day and it would have made 0 difference as they have little power in the government, and thus, little influence on how the pandemic was handled.

>>10567844
The editor of chief of Washington Post is a literal Democrat supporter.

It's hilarious that a lot of conservatives are now trying to point the finger at Le Evil Dems for the poor pandemic response despite the fact that they were hilariously fucking helpless for most of last year. The entire conservative strategy now is to just accuse anyone who disagrees with you of exactly what it is that you've done.

>>10567854
I'd like NC to open up. I want my cons back. Even AZ is up in the air.

>>10567860
>It's hilarious that a lot of conservatives are now trying to point the finger at Le Evil Dems for the poor pandemic response
You keep saying response, but not once did you blame anyone for the pandemic itself.

I'm going to ask you a question to see if you arent a NPC: where did covid come from?

>>10567860
kinda like what the lefty been doing huh?

>>10567856
I really hope dragon con happens. Problem I have is the people in my hotel room. Girl got me in and now they are all to scared to leave their own house.

>>10567873
if it still happens and she says they can no longer do it, you can probably ask her to sell it to you and get new rooomates easily.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/02/politics/biden-merck-johnson--johnson-vaccine/index.html

"President Joe Biden announced a major partnership Tuesday afternoon between pharmaceutical giants Merck & Co. and Johnson & Johnson to help produce J&J's newly authorized vaccine and changed the vaccine timeline, saying there would be enough for every American adult by the end of May.

"About three weeks ago, we were able to say that we’ll have enough vaccine supply for adults by the end of July, and I'm pleased to announce today, as a consequence of this stepped-up process that I've ordered and just outlined, this country will have enough vaccine supply ... for every adult in America by the end of May,"

If he can manage to pull that off, this would be a huge gamechanger. AX might have called the quits too early then.

>>10567846
>>10567850
>>10567851
none of these screenshots have any mention of these people being democrats.
do you have brain worms?

>>10567864
>where did covid come from?
The same place every single major disease has come from; large scale meat farming/productions facilities. When you stuff thousands of animals into tight spaces continuously, its a major breeding ground for diseases. Its why we have covid, mad cow disease, bird flu, swine flu, etc.

>>10567876
I love how you avoided saying China.

See ya, NPC.

>>10567881
saying it came from china is about as relevant as saying it came from earth. If you are just looking to be xenophobic, then go back to /pol/.

>>10567911
To be fair, some other zoonotic diseases also originated from China as well and the govt there didn't regulate things properly after the fact. It's not the fault of the Chinese people, and every government is responsible for trying harder to reduce the risk that animal research, recreational animal based tourism, and things that exploit animals like large scale meat farming, wet markets, illegal pet shops, etc. present to humans.

>>10567824
oh my god maybe humanity hasn't lost all hope just yet.
what happens next is vitally important. as long as those states don't suddenly spike in cases (and as long as no one fudges the numbers to make it look worse than it actually is), others should follow suit
i pray to god florida happens next. i need this.

don't worry, califags, you all can stay locked down for the next several years since that's what you all seem to want so much. the rest of us are gonna resume our lives.

>>10567918
Most of the world has similar meat farming practices as China, its just down to luck which animal in which country just happens to be the one that develops a virus that can spread to humans.
Mad cow disease came from England https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy#History
swine flu is from mexico (possibly asia, but likely mexico) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic#History
and if you want to go way back, there are the many viruses that europeans brought to native americans. Native americans has much fewer diseases due to their lack of packing farm animals and people into such dense areas together, its why natives got sick from european disease, but europeans didn't get sick from native disease.

>>10567931
Texas is already one of the worst for new cases and vax rates (presumably because many people weren't following restrictions outside of when they were forced to in public places anyway, as well as generally having a high population); can't get much worse when we're already at the bottom. There won't be any huge spikes because a spike would imply cases were ever particularly low enough for a spike to be noticable.

>>10567934
I know, that' why I said every government is responsible for trying harder. It does no good to demonize Chinese people just like it does no good to tiptoe around where a virus started either. Everyone needs to make a better effort to me proactive rather than reactive, especially major players like the US and China both.

>>10567936
Texas is fine.

>>10567938
I live here, I know what it's like. Whether you're impacted has a lot to do with your job, where you live, etc. El Paso for example and most of West Texas had a phase that I think has ended by now where COVID was so overwhelming to local resources that people were forcibly relocated to other hospitals in central Texas because of lack of space and then not even given a way home. It really just depends on where you are locally, but given that cons are always in big cities, huge events like AM or whatever may be a liability and cons will still require masks or have other precautions even if the events occur to save face/reduce liability. Fine if people choose to go to them but it would be nice if those of us who do keep away from people who don't want to risk getting sick and have little choice in going out like "essential workers" and whatnot.

>>10567945
If youre wearing a mask or got the vaccine, it shouldnt matter if others choose not to wear them. Either masks/ vaccines works or they dont.

>>10567824
This won't end well.

>>10567947
The point of non n-95/high filtration masks is to stop your respiratory particles from being expelled and lingering in the air in the case that you have COVID. They also happen to provide self-protection to a less effective degree than n-95s depending on fabric and fit, but generally they are better at protecting others from you than you from others.

The vaccine does work but if you're not old or high risk you're unlikely to be vaccinated, so that is not relevant in Texas when only like 5% of people are vaccinated and that is concentrated in elderly people with more resources or access to vaccines, so the odds of like, a fast food worker who has to deal with maskless congoers who are hungry being vaccinated are slim, which means even with their own mask they are at risk. That risk could be avoided if someone who goes around maskless to a con choses to simply do drive-thru or curbside orders for example instead of dining in when they can. Not a necessity but voluntarily reducing your risk of infecting others even if you don't want to reduce your own risk of getting sick (which you have the right to do) would reduce cases and get things back to normal faster than a free for all fuck everything get everyone sick and let the weak die approach.

>8 years later cgl is still the same

>>10567953
You keep saying excuses with excuses and are unable to accept that none of the preventions actually prevent anything.

>>10567958
If facts or general acceptance of your right to do what you want but a recommendation or acknowledgement of what would be considerate to people who are limited in their ability to control their own exposure is an excuse to you, then sure, it's an excuse. I'm not saying you have to do one thing or another. Sorry you want to feel attacked so badly.

>>10567960

Nayrt but how is vaccines working a contradiction or excuse with saying that a non vaccinated person can still get sick? A vaccine existing and being effective doesn't suddenly make everyone around you vaccinated, just like how full grocery store shelves don't mean there aren't people who starve to death in the world.

>>10567961

Whoops, dropped my second reply >>10567958

>>10567960
You continue to make statements where you try to say it's a good thing to have preventions, but you continue to also contradict yourself cause you can't accept that maybe what you believed in was never true to begin with. You're coping with that reality so your behavior right now is to try to cover as much ground as possible with as many excuses as possible to help for the simple fact that your belief system is crashing down in the sight that maybe your time and energy was wasted in a year long pandemic that was overexaggerated.

>>10567947
>Either masks/ vaccines works or they dont.
This might be the most retarded thing I've heard. It's not an either or.

>>10567972
Then disprove it. Say which works. I have an article from your master Fauci for each of them where it says it doesn't actually prevent it as people are hailing. Come on, your move. "Trust the experts" right?

>>10567968
Eh, I worked from home and got my groceries delivered before the pandemic, my life hardly changed much, so idk what you're trying to project here. I can believe that facts are true while also believing it does no good to try to force a rando on 4chan or irl to take what precautions I personally might if they don't want to. Every acknowledgement of nuance is not someone's worldview crashing down around them, bud.

nayrt and yeah you're right about either they work or they don't (with whether they work being tied to adherence, just like a diet for example, only working if you actually stick to it completely and consistently) but damn u okay there bud? who in your personal life is so horny for fauci that you think anyone who thinks some prevention is better than none is his mind-controlled slave?

Prime is 50/50 on happening on time, but it may get delayed into July they seem to be signaling a higher chance of delaying rather than canceling from their social media posts. They seem to be waiting to see what Governor Dewine’s rules are for festivals, so we’ll know in a week or two. East is the most likely to be fucked, pen governor is lockdown crazy. Texas is 100% open now so it happens for sure.

>>10567936

You will never be a woman.

Democrat and Liberal ideology and influence are why you don’t get to go to your cons. Florida, Mississippi, and Texas aren’t bending ass backwards anymore and what do those have in common? Now let’s talk about Commiefornia, New York, and Washington have in common, and why you don’t get your fucking Anime Conventions. People are supposed to gauge their own risks, and being forced to wear shit over your face is not something any conservative actually supports. Go suck Cuomo’s cock, you tranny. See you in the Ita thread.

>>10568028
By only handful of people. Which implies the US baseline is good.

Like I said in later posts I'm not down to force anyone into anything but the fact is people hardly followed mask rules when we had them or only when they absolutely had to, many private businesses will keep the rules on their property, so there will not be a noticable spike because not much will change/we weren't in a state of particularly low case counts to begin with.

If Cuomo goes down then the rest will go down as well. I have heard MD Gov. has been pressured and he might be investigated as well like Penn. Gov as well. The pressure is mounting much bigger than it than we thought.

>>got my groceries delivered

Found the faggot that wants 15 bucks a hour but tips the delivery guy like 50 cents.

>>10568381
I work from home from a company that pays me far more than $15/hour though? People who want to get paid more for minimum wage are usually people in jobs that they aren't working from home at like fast food workers, grocery store workers, etc. not those with work from home desk jobs so I don't know how you came to any conclusion about my income.

Not sure how paying people for a service because I can't/don't drive has any implication about how well I tip. I worked service and people facing jobs all through college, including at a bar so I know how important tips are and always tip well. A 50 cent tip sounds concerningly low and like only what mean people do to "punish" their waiter. I always tip $10 minimum on anything small/cheap (even when the tip is more than the cost of an item) and at least 25-30% on other things service or delivery related.

That had nothing to do with the point of my post though, I was discussing how I have been staying at home much of the time and getting stuff delivered pre-COVID so my life wasn't really severely impacted by the evil SJW fearmongering the anon I replied to was claiming it was. I also lived in Asia for a while and am surrounded by Asian culture with friends and family, which includes mask wearing when sick/during cold and flu seasons so if anything this shit is just other Americans catching up to how many people already lived.

Again, if you had just read the whole post you might get what I'm saying rather than stopping when you see a chance to confirm some bias or assumption that isn't even true.

>>10568021
Where are you seeing those social media posts from Colossalcon? From what I've seen they barely ever post anything, and when they do it's anime or other stuff totally unrelated to their events.
East likely does have the lowest chance of happening due to regulation in the state. I'm sure they'll relax those regulations by September, but it's impossible to say by how much.
And yeah, Texas is good to go assuming they were genuinely planning to have it this year.

>>10568456
>East likely does have the lowest chance of happening due to regulation in the state.
East is more likely to open up before the summer because of the investigation of NY Gov and Penn Gov. Is heating up big time now with more people resigning due to the cover ups and stuff. Cuomo is gonna resign this month or much sooner.

>>10568472
Isn't that what people said about election fraud and stopping the counts though? Much as I want to believe things are good soon I think people claiming it will all come crashing down on Dems any second are deluded or too optimistic. With the Johnson Johnson vaccine summer or late speing in warmer states seems like a fair bet for most cons in the US but I doubt anything sooner.

>>10568558
Then stop following and voting for conservative politics. Democrats and liberals aren't overwhelmingly filled with racists like conservatives are. Just look at the make up of each party. One party actually evenly represents people in America, while the other party very strongly only make up a very specific sex and race of people.

>>10568576
>Democrats and liberals aren't overwhelmingly filled with racists like conservatives are
Oh no you fucking didn't. Democrats are the most racist people I've ever met. Black person here. They look down on people not white very hard, even the non white liberals. Democrats have not left their kkk roots at all, even if they keep saying they do. Go to New York, Seattle, LA, any democrat stronghold like I did. You are a second class citizen to them. The nicest people I've ever met came from conservative areas always. Malcom X was always right about liberals.

>>10568621
>and remember they played a big role in Trump's 2nd term.
you high?

>>10568657
>Democrats have not left their kkk roots at all,
The kkk originated from the end of the civil war. How many liberals do you see fly a confederate flag vs conservatives? A large number of conservatives literally want black people as slaves..

>>10568678
>The kkk originated from the end of the civil war. How many liberals do you see fly a confederate flag vs conservatives? A large number of conservatives literally want black people as slaves..

Dude, both the north and the south were pro slaves. Hell, in the north, blacks were treated often worse like cattle by yankees. It's not even about a fucking flag. I don't know why you are correlating the KKK with the confederate flag. The KKK were always the government. The blacks formed the republican party. If you cared about black people and was actually not racist, you would have known this instead of repeating the words of whoever lied to you.

Again, you're saying the same shit that Malcolm X said the white liberal does.

The homeless tweaker shit-smear writing was already on the wall for a while, but with the official news of no more AX to look forward to I'm going to have to seriously evaluate my plans for the rest of the year going forward.

I graduated from college almost a year ago and I want to move to Los Angeles and push pencils for some entertainment company, but I just can't. I have no real access to any of my college friends and have just been trapped in this painfully monotonous neetdom. There's no ability for me to do anything and no incentive for it even if there was.

>>10568682
>Dude, both the north and the south were pro slaves.
the south split apart from the US because the north wanted to outlaw slavery. Who told you the north was pro-slavery?

>I don't know why you are correlating the KKK with the confederate flag.
Because they were formed in response to downfall of the confederacy.

this isn't even remotely on topic anymore. Just go back to /pol/ if you want to larp about revised history.

>>10568693
>and I want to move to Los Angeles and push pencils for some entertainment company, but I just can't
It depends on what you mean by "push pencils", but the state is going to start opening up soon.

>>10568456
It’s mostly the Facebook posts, things that seem to be based on hyping an upcoming event. They’ve increased their comment and post frequency the past few days. They’ve also been replying to questions about the convention with words that suggest more certainty like “when” rather than “if.” This was around the same time that the Ohio governor started to announce plans for having rules that would allow large venues to open, which suggests a possible connection between the two events.

>>10568736
go back to /pol/ if you want to larp about imaginary political history.

>>10568161
It depends on how much political capital they want to spend, Cumo is a potential primary challenger to soon to be president Harris in 2024, so is Newsom better axe him too.

Wolf and Whitmer are in swing states that would have gone red if it weren’t for their actions, and they will be needed for a repeat performance in 2024, so unless someone raises a lot of stink they will be untouched. Whitmer will also go down before Wolf does, so Youmacon probably has better odds than Colossal East.

>>10568734
It really depends on what kind of field you're in. Studios started shooting live-action again and animation in particular is booming.
Coming to LA to work in entertainment is a difficult dream, though.

>>10568555
If SDCC's November event can't go, ALA 2022 won't make it either.

>>10568755
>Studios started shooting live-action again and animation in particular is booming.
Doubt right now it's all in hold now because of the lockdowns and Hollywood gold standard took a huge hit, also movie theaters are going to suffer much worse during and after the pandemic. The only thing it's booming right now is MMA, Boxing, Football, Baseball and other sports are being successful right now,

>>10568772
Animation is doing extremely well because it can be coordinated and completed remotely.

>>10568832
If AX moves to Texas, I guarantee it will be the biggest con next to Dragoncon and Pax West.

>>10568857
You've still missed the point of the argument. And it was groceries, my dude. From a grocery store that is walking distance from where I live (less than a mile or 2, I used to walk when I had no job, but now I work so I would rather be one of the few decent tippers and pay someone with a car to drive thst 5 minutes). Sorry I don't drive/can't afford a car I guess? Speaking of which, you can't fuck up my nonexistent car lol.

Point is, sure, open things up but maybe just do the bare minimum to protect those essential workers you clearly agree work pretty hard. Like go to a con if you personally choose but don't breathe potentially a/pre-symptomatic COVID droplets all over your drive through or restaurant worker by just wearing a piece of material over your mouth and nose for the couple minutes it takes to grab your food? I'm not trying to run anyone's life, I just hope those excited for and planning to travel and go to cons to be considerate of people who have less than them/have to serve them.

>>10568878
Tip culture sucks but most delivery people are regular people. Often they have kids, are college students/around my age. Even a few of my friends who were decent people did gig work. I would rather tip "too much" on my weekly grocery orders and make someone's life a bit better in a tough time or tip a lot for my cheap dinner order (when I went out before COVID) so some nice old diner lady has a bit more gas money than tip next to nothing "because capitalism bad". Like yeah people should get paid more upfront and tip culture is fucked, but right now they don't and sometimes you have to operate in the world we live in, not the ideal one we prefer.

>>10568857
>people have to do almost 20 mile drives and shop for the food

Nayrt but damn non Texasfag confirmed. Most places in Texas have HEB and their regular employees shop for the food while the driver just picks it up. I can't imagine getting groceries from a different store right now unless you have a good local one or live in like, El Paso where there are none. Texas is pretty great (for reasons other than prematurely ending the mask mandate) and HEB is one of those great things.

>>10569003

I hope everyone knows none of those companies are progressive at all and are bankrupting many small restaurants during the pandemic. The only ones in my city who are on them are chains, ghost kitchens, super popular ones who can afford the high costs, or super desperate ones hoping they'll get more business. The rest just outright refuse to pay which I agree with. One small business even got listed on doordash without their permission and had to force them to remove them. Based af.

Again, HEB owns Favor which is Texas only I think(?) and they do food deliveries and at the very least are the only service to mandate you tip at least $2--a sad amount for the cost of most food delivery order minimums but literally no other app even makes you leave a tip but them in my area. But I'm not a fan of delivery food most of the time because I can cook well/my fiance and I can just do curbside to get it fresh and support the restaurant directly without the delivery app overhead costs if we are desperate for takeout.

The sad reality is if something makes our lives more convenient short term, it often involves people being exploited, underpaid, etc.

>>10569555
10000% this, though the threat of small scale biological warfare shouldn't be what gets servers paid better. Their employers should do their part and pay good wages to good staff, not expect entitled shitty customers looking for a reason to essentially dock their pay and tip less so they can be cheap.

cgl is the terfiest most gender critical place on the internet, in what world would you think gulls give two shits about transgender suicide rates?

inb4 this thread devolves into one of those terf vs trans arguments that gets it nuked

>>10570026
I'll agree he's far from perfect but he has done a decent job in handling this.

>>10570038
Imagine praising a guy like him unironically.

>>10570045
I'm fairly left compared to most gulls and Newsom screams establishment shady politician with no principles to me. He and Pelosi are related and one and the same as far as how they "lead" and govern imo

>>10570023
Lmao calm down Montana Max. Why are you so angry? Not that anon btw.

>>10570045
Newsom is slime in a skinsuit. He is repulsive and greasy and morally corrupt, and will do anything for power.
But I would rather him be governor than basically any other current governor in the US. Sure 4 of the last 5 CA governors could have done better, but he's still just sleazy enough to actually be trying.

>>10567347
Please talk to a therapist, you sound unwell.

Dipshit conservative states digging their own graves and opening up is unironically the best thing to happen to this country. Anything that kills useless old fucks is a godsend in my book.

>>10570045

>ignoring that there are still non conservative people in red states
>wanting bad things/death to happen to people when the point of protective measures is to reduce loss of life

I hate retarded liberals who think hating on the South is cool and don't care what happens to actual people living there as long as it supports their end political goals. People don't deserve death just for living in Texas, idiot.

You first tranny.

Nice try tranny. I know your tactics of how you try to take over whatever space women are the majority. two X chromosomes reddit sub is now filled with you trucker wearing the prosititute you just killed skin whining that no one will touch your ugly asses.

>Anime Magic! Texas 2021

Didn’t know they had started an operation in Texas. Seems hella sus considering that’s the exact same play Kopf uses...

Hopefully this doesn’t mean Magic! is just another Kopf venture ran through multiple shell companies to obfuscate its true origin. I’ve had a slight suspicion of this being the case since the beginning.

>>10566798
Being outdoors mitigates contagion you racist brainlet.

>I'll agree he's far from perfect but he has done a decent job in handling this.
You serious right, he's doing much worse than Cuomo and others Dem. gov who are killing their cities and their people. There's a reason why the recall of Newsom and Garcetti is gaining a lot of traction in Cali.

>>10570006
>They literally only have 10 salaried employees, they'll be fine.
Doubt it many of'em will leave Cali because they are less money for the state.

How about we have no indoor cons at all and just have small outdoor park gatherings instead?

>>10570317
>There's a reason why the recall of Newsom and Garcetti is gaining a lot of traction in Cali.
It definitely isn't, and won't come to even half the required votes.
But it's because there are more Trump supporters in California than in literally any other state in the US, and people are mad that he's enforcing shit like the mask mandates and business closures, the very things that are making him better than other governors. There's a reason why even conservative places like Fresno had to make refusing to wear a mask a trespassing violation.

He's still shit, but for other reasons.

>Dragoncon 2021 cancelled
It's over

>>10570364
Based post, calls out the sheer amount of Trump supporters in California and also notes that Newsom is still shit for unrelated reasons.

>>10570452
proof?

Full delusional at this point.

>>10570466
He's talking out of his ass.

>>10570578
Apparently you are, yeah.

>>10570302
They are “anti kopf” but the way they’re doing this it seems pretty shitty. Never did like the con in the first place so this gives me more suspicion that they don’t want their small con to die.

>>10570023
this is the funniest shit i've read all week. this'll be excellent bait on other boards. lighten up, little guy.

What will Americans do for cosplay now that mass gathering events such as conventions will soon be outlawed and convention centers across the country become permanent homeless shelters?

I'm excited about metrocon. Should be a good time

>>10570666
This is how I pictured him when I read that.

Fuck conventions.

>>10570822
Many of the cos-thots moved to twitch. Cosplayers use social media for small get togethers to do shoots. Not to be social.

>>10570950
You don’t mean that

You dimwits realize that if cons ever come back, they can only operate at a 25% capacity even if everyone that attends is fully vaccinated. Enjoy every battling out in a ticket lottery just to even attend.

>>10566625
I CAN'T HAVE ATTENTION NO NO!!!
typical cos-whore.

What would be your dream con once things get back up and running?

>>10572083
I don't know, companies will just adapt to a permanent online virtual platform to showcase upcoming shows and projects. No need for a middle man convention anymore.

>>10572083
I'm cool with most anything as long as there aren't "digital influencers" out the ass or some shitty world premiere like High Guardian Spice.

>>10572092
no they won't.

>>10572020
Florida, Texas, Mississippi and other states are going to open full capacity this rate. Right now the mayors in Texas are trying overrule and cause more chaos with Abbot state government control there.

>>10570666
Still waiting for your companh, bitch.

>>10570275
Nah it's called super straight you fucking tranny.

Trannys use "gender critical"

Once they start opening up, what cons would be good to find a cute BF?

>>10572698
Pls be in london

Another problem that cons are going to run into is that a lot of hotels have shut down and laid of staff or have out right gone out of business. The latter just happened to Anime USA with the Marriott Wardman going tits up. Katsucon and Magfest are in a similar situation with their host hotel the Gaylord National) is closed up and workers furloughed. Even if mask mandates get lifted and gathering bans go away its going to take a good long while for hotels to recall staff and get the hotel back up and running again.

>>10572137
How is maintaining the status quo (having people continue to wear masks) on a local level causing chaos? The only chaos lately was the winter storm, otherwise Texas has been fine with or without masks. Using or not using them will not create chaos.

Not wearing them just means you're not protecting others or yourself as much, but the amount of protection is so varied based on wearing it properly or not and the marerials, and at least 10% of people manage to fuck up just wearing it over their nose anyway so it's not hurting but not helping as much as it could be either.

>>10572784
Takes two days to start a hotel back up

>>10572121
>Paying attention to the same deprived faggot that's been posting this shit since last March

>>10572698
The most you could to at best is get good sex if you’re lucky to get it consentually.

No, AX orgies don’t count because those are fairy tales that don’t exist(?)

>>10572843
Not the case with the Gaylord. That place has been closed for a goddamn year. No way in hell a 1900+ room hotel will be up and running in two days with all the logistics involved to get it going again.

>>10573045
>The most you could to at best is get good sex if you’re lucky to get it consentually.
Rape is very rare at cons, as much as you gals try to say it does. I've been in this scene forever. Yes, Ive heard of allegations, but they all ended up going nowhere cause the guy always had proof that it was consensual through friends saying they were already making out prior to it and her going to their rooms.

have you ever seen any farm animals in the wild?

>>10573045
Cons are going to be full blown fuckfests due to the amount of pent up loneliness that covid brought on. Standards are going to be in the gutter so anyone can get laid now. Bonus points if you're gay and bi.

>>10573414
>gays getting laid at cons
Source: a openly gay chubby chaser weeb that tries to get laid at out of town cons with a bunch of chubby guys that are straight and fails at every level. And yes, I left the usual gay apps on to see if I get any blips

Do the orgies at Anime Expo exist or are they just a meme? Has anyone even been to one?

Yeah I saw this guy roaming around MAGFest. I had to do a double take when I saw him.

I wouldn't be surprised if they exist. I just assume it's full of sweaty fat people though.

>>10573424
Try Dragoncon as it has a heavy LGBT presence. There are plenty of chubs to chase there. The usual apps were jumping when I was there. Also a lot of those dudes at cons are shy and in the closet about it so you sometimes gotta be blunt about what you want.

>>10574148
Is Dragoncon worth going to period? It’s a bucket list con for me.

>>10574148
Have to check that out

What's the chance otakon actually goes through this year? Vaccinations seem to be good, so maybe that + limited attendance?

Also Otakon is FUCKED.

There's actually cons happening this year, at least in Texas and Florida. Get fucked.

>>10574407
I guess it's a possibility it could happen. I'm wondering how long the venue will continue to be used as as covid megasite though. They just started using it as such at the beginning of the month.
I wonder what happened with the $35K or whatever in donations they got. I guess it will never be spoken of again, and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank with that.
