>>10785860
Then don't go loser, they have the freedom to do what they want. Including ignoring what the goverment says.

>>10785860
Isn't it amazing how religiously faithful these neon haired gender nonconforming demi-humans are to a government institution? Functionally like meatbag robots, their lives a trivial pulse in the hivemind.
When they breath their last breath, with no family or friends to bid them farewell, at least they'll have the comfort of thinking they accomplished something by being supreme ruler of anime con number 569, doing the bidding of daddy government well by ruining the hobbies of those nasty freedom loving rebels who dwell in the filth of their chinese cartoons.
Truly a beautiful heritage to leave behind for their cats to inherit.

>>10785861
lol fr, if it's a small local con who gives a fuck. just go to otakon or nycc, or whatever the fuck is nearby you

>>10785860
OH NO THEY ARE HAVING THEIR OWN RULES AT THEIR OWN CONVENTION, STOP OPRESSING MEEEEEE! This is you.

>>10785860
should have gatekept those mentally ill leftoids in the first place, now they are doing it to you.
be happy its just a con, and not your job they have infiltrated and subversed

>con run by ugly trannies
As a tranny myself I am offended and would not go on pure principle.

>>10785860
Seriously why do anime con organizers still cling to the mask idea when the entire world has moved on? What makes them and only them so pushy on this?

>>10785931
because some people bought into the message for over 2 years now and they would need at least as long to calm down again, assuming whatever bubble they are part of, stops telling them to be scared.

>>10785931
Because they have AIDS from unprotected anal sex and COVID will kill them if they catch it, they are right to be afraid.

>>10785860
Be prepared for this to be common at a lot of cons this year and possibly next.

Thr con runner community bought into the mask shit so hard some of them would tank their events over not enforcing ~strict covid rules for your safety ~

I wish people would realize that attending an event puts you at risk (generally not just covid), it always has. Just like driving a car or flying or basically living on the planet.

>>10785931
have you heard how goddamn stinky AX was?

>>10785962
And they're trying to lessen some of the risk with masks, kind of like wearing a seatbelt. If you don't like masks, just don't go. You don't have a right to go to a fucking anime con lmao

>>10785872
>just go to otakon or nycc

Kek. Those aren't exactly great examples.
Otakon is requiring vaccines or negative tests as well as requiring that masks be worn.
NYCC hasn't set their policy yet, but is likely to do the same.

Speaking of NJ, AnimeNEXT's organizers are so dentheaded that they cancelled their convention entirely for the third straight year essentially because they couldn't force everyone in Atlantic City to be masked at all times (sadly I'm only slightly exaggerating).

Ultimately it's all about virtue signaling. The vaccine doesn't stop you from getting covid or spreading it (although it might keep you from dying, so it's not worthless). Cloth masks have extremely limited effectiveness.
The people that want to keep masks mandates in place are a vocal minority. Most people that disagree or question those policies are too afraid to speak up.

Mask and vax requirements are doing their job of filtering out the complaining Karen's and Kevin's that would normally give the staff headaches while at the con.

>>10785899
The problem is their justification
They flat out say they'll comply with cdc and doh on the issue of vaccines
And then says they'll put their own mask rules in place despite cdc
Why aren't they mandating vaccines then?

>>10786068
>like wearing a seatbelt
Seatbelt masktard anon, you made this same argument in another /cgl/ thread and it's still retarded. Please quit baiting and actually provide a half-brained example if you're gonna suck Fauci's dick this hard.

>>10786133
Because the jabs give myocarditis and blood clots

>>10786074
Yeah, I suggested those two because I knew it would annoy him. Big cons are going to have rules. Deal with it. Go to Anime Matsuri if you want a con with no mask/vaccine requirements.

>>10786068
Except there is a ton of data to prove that seatbelts do something

And masks do not. Unless you have a medical grade N95 they don't keep covid out. They do reduce oxygen levels though, and there are studies coming out pointing to them possibly increasing risk of catching other shit because you are just breathing recycled air for hours. I know a lot of people that go everywhere ~masked up and vaxxxed~ that have caught covid. I still haven't caught it and I haven't worn a mask in months aside from cons that required it and the doctor. Ironically I did catch a cold at the last con I went to where I wore a mask so...sorry if I don't think they do anything usefull.

>>10785870
you need therapy

>>10786337
you're just proving his point. you're only skeptical of this because it's scary and new and not pre-established like seatbelts.

>>10786337
if you don't like it start your con for schizoaffected weebs.

>>10786372
>no, you should totally be scared
>yeah, you are the schizo
maybe you shouldnt leave the house if you think everyone around you is putting you in danger

>>10786374
i literally have AX.5 Megatron right now, so it's definitely not that.

it's -
if you don't like a con policy, don't fucking go. simple as. why is that so hard to grasp?

>>10786375
lol im not going to vaxxiecons, dont worry
im just calling them stupid, as well as the people who enforce and follow the rules. you people will never be free of fear again :^)

>>10786379
okay so then...why did you make a whole thread to complain about it? just don't go and shut the fuck up.

I just want to say that I went to AX maskless and I feel fine barring that I have COVID right now, in the hospital since yesterday, and will probably be ventilated soon. Oh and I'm vaccinated and boosted w/o any underlying medical conditions. I had 69 primary contacts with 420 secondary contacts defined by the CDC at AX and all them have tested positive for COVID.

I agree with you OP, it's time to lift the mask mandates at Anime Cons.

>>10786381
damn, sorry. I also caught it at AX, but it's been pretty mild for me. I hope you get better. it also presented in less than 3 days for me.

the only one seething here is you and op screeching and crying over the fact that a con is gonna make you wear the muzzle. wear the muzzle or don't go but for the love of god shut the fuck up, you schizos have turned this whole place into a /pol/ colony

>>10786133
>Why aren't they mandating vaccines then?
Because there is a significant chunk of the population that isn't fully vaccinated, so that would impact their sales. It's all about $$$$.
Con organizers love to virtue signal, but most won't do anything that will impact their bottom line.

>>10786366
What? Are you accusing me of being scared of masks or covid?

It's not scary and new. It's been over 2 years and in that 2 years masks have done basically jack.

>>10786412
Anon please, the measures have had a few effects. Driving a wedge into society is one of them for example, or how about the increase in mental issues of kids? And lets not forget the economic damage!

it's not /pol/ because I don't like it, it's /pol/ because it's the same brain rot that you're posting.

>>10786421
And back again attempting to "other" whatever you dont like. TopTip: avoid threads with topics that upset you. Clearly you arent comfortable with anons calling out shitty rules and doublestandards, let alone other things you clearly seem to be in favor of.
Maybe you should record yourself on vocaroo and put it on repeat to avoid being assblasted

>>10786430

the kvetching about vaccines and masks is inherently political.

there's a containment board for schizos like that, just stay there.

>>10786391

>Not wanting a constant reminder of politics or government overstep in our hobbies' conventions is schizo.
>Board made up of mostly women is /pol/

>"for the love of god shut the fuck up"

When your knee jerk reaction is telling people who you can't report or downvote to shut up, you have no argument.
We will never shut up about our hobbies.
In the eyes of my decades of cosplay, you pitiable bunch wanting masks to be the norm for anything and everything are at best tourists - I have no expectation of you to stay once anime and cosplay is no longer the hottest thing on the block.

Fear not though, the option to go back to your weenie hut junior echochamber is always available to you to run back to.

Why can't our family and love ones just sue conventions if we catch covid and die?

>>10786418
I'm pretty sure you are mocking me but undoubtedly being forced to wear masks for years and locked away without interaction will have a vast and lasting effect on the mental health of children.

>>10786496
Do you really think that leftist scum actually care about children?

>>10786535
They care enough to want to fuck them.

>>10786692
>i was going to AX while it was still at the ACC
Cool so if this is the actual truth then you should understand the subject of this thread is an overstep beyond what [anime] conventions are supposed to be involved in and concerned about.

>you are pure reddit.
On this line here I'm gonna say you're fake and baiting. Anyone who's at least lurked on this side of the internet would know reddit is a cesspool of censorship and people who have an inkling of a naysayer opinion even if from non-political origin that doesn't align with the sacred cow gets shut down.

Mask Seeth is fucking hilarious.

imagine being such a basedboy you cannot even deal with having to wear a mask at a con.

>>10787033
Must suck to only have smugposting left to you :3

>>10786440
>the kvetching about vaccines and masks is inherently political.
It's not poltical, it's a bigger fucking problem when vaxxies are dropping like flies.

>>10787213
What exactly happened here?
Did they say there was going to be a vaccine requirement, and then did away with it entirely?
Or did they change it from vaccines required to vaccines or negative test required?

If it's the former, then I'd say it's valid for people to complain.
If it's the latter, then it's just a bunch of virtue signaling twats bitching about a non-issue.
I challenge anyone to explain how allowing non-vaccinated people with a negative test makes anyone else "less safe".
Vaccines don't stop you from catchin' or spreadin' the coof.

just dont wear it. I didnt at anime expo and neither did any guards or staff and half the other people.
make someone try and stop you. force them to use police resources. chances are they wont and no one of importance will even say anything

i know 2 people who came back from ax with covid lmao

>government institution?
It's not about the goverment, it's about a social gestalt which the government has overlap with in terms of their covid policy.

You, also, clearly exist in one of them. It's just that your group of idiots is currently at odds with theirs, and both of you are convinced you've obtained some sort of enlightenment in your broken belief systems.

That said maybe you're just trolling, as the image you posted seems to imply that because of corona virus particles being 70-90 nanometers (~120x smaller than the smoke particle in question) and traditional cloth or medical masks being ineffective against smoke particulate based on it's size. They will also be ineffective against corona virus particulate.
As a matter of fact, however, corona virus particulate (when leaving someones lungs) generally does so in respiratory droplets. Which are much larger than the viral particulate it's self. One could dispute that, unlike larger droplets, aerosols may pose a greater risk of the spread of the corona virus among individuals farther from the point of origin. Nonetheless it has been proven that viral disease outbreaks via aerosol transmission are less severe then one would think, because of dilution and inactivation of viral particulate that lingers for extended periods in the air.

Yes because a massive amount of finely atomized water is going to be blocked just as effectively as a few respiratory droplets.

If nothing else you could wear an N95 mask.

its real but a joke at this point. if your going some place with 500k people and have a weak immune system from eating cheetos and not sleeping your going to be fucked no matter what. like con flu, never got it in 20 years of going to a con.

nayrt but source pls

Con organizer is trash anyways, she's thrown parties and mini-cons, asking for people to pay for the rentals by donating money for the venue. Wouldn't be an issue, as that's sort of what people do, except she's not pre-paying, she expects you to have fully paid, because if she doesn't get enough money, she'll cancel the event.

Had one con where she was auctioning off dates with a cosplayer, another one where her co-chair "won" the grand prize cash pot, who used the money to pay her some debt and go on a vacation!

She's also friends with Eugene Manning and defended his predatory ass, meanwhile she's also accused innocent photographers of groping her in the past, despite people on-site contradicting her claims.

The con's shit, run by scammers, so avoid it anyway!

>>10788459
>auctioning off dates with a cosplayer
I kind of like this idea actually.

>>10788459
>she's also accused innocent photographers of groping her in the past
Is she a cosplayer in addition to being a con organizer or something? Who is this?

>>10788454
nayrt x2, there is a compiled list on Steve Kirsch's substack titled: "The "safe and effective" narrative is falling apart."
For as much as /cgl/ harpies keep screeching to go back to /pol/, archive 4plebs with search subject "covid general" is a good way to pull up archived threads with efforts to collect different information pertaining to the vaccines, deaths, government policies, etc.
The rest is my personal experience: I had this really horrendous period in the month following the Pfizer vaccination of most of my classmates. I eventually left the country and got a non-mRNA vaxx but I think what may have been mRNA viral shedding from my classmates affected me permanently. My fully Pfizer vaccinated co-workers have been out in waves sick with covid since last month and most are young men who are required to have a certain fitness standard.
I do hope anime cons eventually return to normal because I want to see my friends and I do want to have healthy interactions with people, but as for everything else, I think the damage has been done already.

>>10788486
>"covid general" is a good way to pull up archived threads with efforts to collect different information pertaining to the vaccines, deaths, government policies, etc.
You should do you own research first to avoid developing cognitive bias from secondary or tertiary compilations of sources which could have been assembled with confirmation bias.
> I had this really horrendous period in the month following the Pfizer vaccination of most of my classmates.
It's almost like people stopped quarantining/wearing masks, and spread a whole bunch of other diseases (and covid) as soon as they got vaccinated. Which is funny because masking by it's self is possibly more effective than the vaccines. I honestly don't know what people were expecting.
>I eventually left the country and got a non-mRNA vaxx
Do you not live in the states?
>mRNA viral shedding
What does this mean? If you mean viral shedding caused by mRNA vaccines, I hate to inform you that that isn't out the pfizer and moderna vaccines work. They only create protein spikes.
>My fully Pfizer vaccinated co-workers have been out in waves sick with covid since last month and most are young men who are required to have a certain fitness standard.
Sounds like they might have contracted one of the newer strains. new strain, especially considering how young people tend to act. (And even more so the type of young men to work jobs with high physical fitness standards)

Mask don't really protect against particulate of that size unless they're N95 respirators. They but they can protect others from short range respiratory droplets. Additionally like 99% of people I see wearing masks are wearing them wrong.
>I still haven't caught it and I haven't worn a mask in months
I suppose you've regularly been taking covid tests? You know, incase you become an asymptomatic carrier?

>>10786496
>being forced to wear masks for years and locked away without interaction will have a vast and lasting effect on the mental health of children.
I could see this effecting development of communication abilities in very small children, simply because facial expressions are thought to be important for that. But it's not like their parents would wear masks in their house with them, and it's not like they can't interact with other children physically while masked/over the internet while unmasked. Further more, do you really think covid is going to be the main source of isolation in the coming future? children these days prefer to spend all their time on electronics anyways. But I can understand how anecdotally that might cause you worry about them growing up to be unhinged schizos.

Except they're not. You can still get sick after being vaccinated. Also clearly you were skimming my post. As the next sentence said:

I should however point out that I did make a typo.
>that isn't out the pfizer and moderna vaccines work.
Was meant to be:

Although given the context, and how the first one is grammatically incorrect, I'd imagine someone not skimming a post would have caught this.
