/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Oh gosh, if there was actually "cgl secrets" that would be posted weekly or something I think this place would actually explode from the drama.

I heard Rika is actually a 52 yr old man

my friend got posted on gyaru secrets a few weeks ago and i posted it on cgl to keep the drama going.I cant stand the bitch. not sorry

/cgl/ secrets would make people kill each other

i heard she bought 100 dicks off ebay and sucked them all

I'm against replicas but I actually own a few. I didn't know they were replicas when I got them, and since I already spent the money I may as well wear them.

>>6368109
The design on that AP bag is clearly flawed, it would fall right off!

>>6368174
Really? I bought it from >>6368167

You don't think it's a replica, do you?

I don't actually dress up.
I just come here to admire outfits, and watch you all tear at each others throats like a pack of savage harpies.

>>6368211
This

Whenever I'm staying with someone before a con and getting cosplay done, I have to unfollow all my thinspo blogs.

So whenever I see thin cosplayers on my dash, I put their posts in my drafts so I have something to look at until I'm home.

I just tell my friends I'm saving the photos for references in upcoming cosplays.

>>6368211
Same.
I'd like to dress up eventually, but right now I don't think I have the looks or funds to pull it off.

I COSPLAYED A HOMESTUCK TROLL WITHOUT FACEPAINT AND I DON'T REGRET A THING NIGGERS

>>6368257
Today is a good day for towels around the globe.

I'm fourteen. Like, really

I masturbate to nearly all of my friends. Often - 3 times a day or more. Usually to pictures of them I've saved on my computer (which I compulsively do anytime something new gets posted on Facebook/Tumblr/DA/etc., so I've got a pretty big collection by now). I'm male and most of the friends I've made over the years are female and attractive (including several cosplayers and at least a few seagulls), which makes me feel weird because sometimes I wonder if it's just a coincidence or if I'm subconsciously trying to become close to them just for the purposes of my own sexual fantasies. I try not to worry about it because I'm not a person who has trouble separating fantasy from reality, and I'm a really normal, nice guy on the outside, but sometimes I just feel like a huge fucking creep.

I blatantly propositioned a tripfag at MCM and he didn't even notice. That or he just isn't interested in me. Whoops.

I think one of my friends is an idiot for putting so much of her life online and deserves all the real-life and online shit she gets from doing that. So whenever she gets posted I fan the flames of the drama. I also laugh every time someone posts to the coord thread because it's so fucking easy to make lolita outfits, the trick to not getting hate is that you don't post them online when they're shit.

PROSECRET: I'm a fashion designer, you know, like a real one that gets paid.
Its just not my day job ;;

I regret not having sex with one guy...I felt like I was getting held back because he's a ladies' man.

I want him inside me so bad it drives me nuts knowing I can't and seeing all the photos of him with other girls sucks!

I got into lolita just for the drama. I would read thread upon thread upon thread about the local comms who were all fighting each other, so I made myself a classic, simple lolita dress and a basic coord and went to an open tea party. I knew everyone without having never met them face to face and of their drama.

I became good friends with another a bit older lolita, both in our early 20ies, so she woud lend me a dress for new events. No one really thinks about me too much and I just sit there and keep track of their delicious, delicious drama.

I didn't brush my teeth tonight. I was watching supernatural (the BM episode) and if I were to go in to the bathroom I would have to stare at myself in the mirror. With the episode fresh in my head I'm gonna think about you know who 3 times. she'll come out of the mirror the ring style and she'll eat my eyes ;_;

>>6368405
I love you.

i liek chocolate milk

/cgl/ secret
I wish there was a blog for /cgl/ secrets
Maybe someone should make one, I would help too

>>6368542
You should try and find that Information-gathering-anon then, i know he/she/it is around and knows alot about us.

I still have sex dreams about my ex even if we broke up two years ago. I usually don't mind them but the one I had last night was where this time he chased me and... Well, he raped my ass til I woke up and was like 'fuck my life'.

>>6368545
I'M ON THE CASE

>>6368410

Brush your teeth bitch

Not a secret, droppping trip anyway.
I think a majority of /cgl/ needs to retake reading and comphrehension. I swear if I screen capped every bitchy reply that I've gotten because they couldn't comphrehend what I said...it'd embarass this entire board.
Seriously ladies, some of you are dumb as fuck and that's damn near embarrassin child.

>>6368596
And now it's time for us to guess who you are.

I work at a food factory, so watashi wa totemo kawaii kanojo ja nai desu. I don't cosplay or dress in lolita, but I like to admire the clothes, even the ones that aren't perfect.
I order weeb shit off the internet and thoroughly enjoy having it. My small bed is half-covered in stuffed animals, a bunch of which are overpriced anime mascots.
I live with my parents. It'll probably be them and me forever, with me cutting out hefty parts of my checks to pay for myself and using the rest to save or buy things. I'm like PT but smaller and cleaner, without an interest in romantic relationships, and all my weabooing stays out of public eye.

>>6368602
No one important really.

Dropping trip.
A lot of seagulls thing I'm their friend but I'm more like a frenemy. I'm jealous of their craftiness and skills and I secretly want to see them fail.

>>6368695
think, goddammit

>>6368675

pretty much sums up the entire board.

I masturbate over a certain tripfags scandal photos and idgaf.

the cosplayers I bitch about the most are the ones I would miss most if they ever left the scene.
If I say a costume doesn't impress me I'm probably just jealous that it's more complicated and better crafted than anything I could dream of making.
I frequently slut-shame people that do sexy cosplays like JNig, G-chan, Ai-honey, Yaya, MJ and Aza, but in reality I'm legit gay for all of them. I'd give up any man for one night with Miyu but on cgl I call her a tranny hooker.

I am a weak-willed, jealous fatty. I am /cgl/

>>6368719
hey so do i!

>>6368366
Too beta, probably

>Many lovers
>Its pretty much over when they know of my double life as a weeaboo cosplayer nerd
Such is life in Holland, where there are no other weeaboos.

TL;DR Cosplaying IS my dirty secret.

>>6368781
Whats the first letter of their name because if i found someone who does the same i wont be feeling so alone anymore.

>>6368211
THISSSSS

But I will......
Someday.

>>6368702
Thats fine, I wouldn't want to be a 4chins celebrity or some bullshit like that.

I cosplay mostly to get into character and live out the nerdy dream of being my favourite characters for a day. When I'm in costume I slightly change my mannerisms to match the characters and get ridiculously excited to see other people from the same series or to talk with other fans. Cosplaying my favourite characters is like a badge of honour to me, because its pretty much taking my passion for them as far as I can possibly go and proudly displaying my interests to other people.

I guess the secret part is that I hate, HATE people who dress up as my favourite characters or series they know nothing about. I know its their choice and I really have no right to tell them what they can and can't do, but it feels sacriligious to me. When I find out someone is wearing something simply because they thought it looked cool I can't help but look down on them or think of them as a pathetic attention whore. Why the hell would you spend so much time on money recreating something just to look cool? Go buy a fancy outfit or make something original then.

Its as stupid as spending money on a concert t-shirt for a band you don't even listen to just for people to notice you or because the design on the front was neat. Or wearing a sports jersey for a team you don't watch or care about.

I understand that a lot of people do it just to pad out groups, but tbh if you aren't really a fan of the series I don't want to do a group with you. If I'm going to cosplay with other people I want it to be because we love the same thing, so we can have fun in our costumes and take amazing photos and do more than just stand around. What is the point of having a group if no one really cares, to stand around and take generic group shots and get attention for being a group?

>>6368862

Before anyone asks, yes I have given people who haven't been into the series a chance and cosplayed with them. They didn't know any of the poses, sucked in photos because they had no idea who had character relations with who and overall weren't excited or happy because it was just another costume to them so their investment was extremely low. The only people who have ever ditched on me for costumes were people who didn't have any real reason to care about finishing.

If you haven't cosplayed with people who are as passionate as you about the same series you are seriously missing out. It is so much more positive, and fun and you get a real sense of happiness and satisfaction all being equally dedicated to bringing photos to life and characters to life.

And yeah I'm aware feeling like this makes me a huge, nerdy neckbeard. But I would rather be a huge, nerdy neckbeard than a poser. Its also sad that its become more cool in this hobby to just do things for design and because you would look hot and that people who still cosplay out of love are the ones looked down on.

Wow this turned into a rant... thanks for letting me get it off my chest CGL.

I used to hate cosplay.... but now it's my fantasy to have dirty sex with my lady while she is dressed up.

There's a seagull that's made up a lot of crap about people and seems to enjoy playing innocent about it. They have a "WOE IS ME I'M SO INNOCENT" attitude about them, but in reality they are far from it. I think they're obsessed with me as they always seem to think it's me posting badly about them when it really isn't. If I really wanted to I could post everything the person has ever done which would cause way more trouble then some anons like to do currently. But I don't because I'm too kind. Lol I'm pushover but one day you'll get what you deserve.

i go out of my way to stir up trouble amongst various trips and well known figures.


i'm the one who made the chart of ladies of notable trips/ladies of /cgl/ and spammed it on /r9k/ and /fit/.

i also made a few of those sugardaddy threads and screencapped them and posted them to other boards whenever /cgl/ was the topic.

of course I have the good sense to never trip so nobody is ever able to pin anything on me.

>>6368909
That's so sad, I'm honestly sorry for you.

Careful, what you are about to read is pretty much asspie inducing.

I would love to line up every single bitch on /cgl/ and slowly drag the most jagged knife I could find across their face. This includes members of the ashley threads, members of PT threads, tomochiko, Iam kawaii, duckdick and some others. Just line you all up in a perfect little line and I would skip down- cutting all of you. No, I'm not trolling- you are just annoying. So I want to cut you.

ANYWHU
I also don't know why I come back to /cgl/. Helpful threads get deleted or banned and shit topics thrive like no tomorrow.
I pre' much hate 4chan right now but I'm looking for a better board/forum to dwell in.

>>6368927
/cgl/ is becoming /b/ essentially.

I got out of cosplaying because all my friends who did it were drama whores. I still get requests from them to help with costumes or join in on group cosplays but I ignore them because I have no interest in dealing with that shit anymore.

and yet, I always find myself coming back to this board...

Every now and then, I pick a tripfag to pick on for a while. Sometimes just random anons too. It's really hilarious when they accuse me of being someone else. I've never met any of you from /cgl/, and I don't really want to.

And now I'm going to go back to /a/.

>>6368929
Isnt every board abit /b/ at times? I mean most of us came there for a start but moved to other boards later on.

>>6368953
I've been to /b/ maybe 5 times during the 6 years I've been on /cgl/. I really hope most people don't start off going to /b/.

I want to see O****** and A**** in some lesbian porn with A being dom.

>>6368957
Okay, that /cgl/ is supposed to say 4chan. Oops.

>>6368959
What's the point of the censoring? It's obviously Ophelia and Annie.

>>6368965
I just didn't want to type it out properly I feel so bad.

>>6368957
Still you have been there and i'm sure it have had some kinda effect on you at some point, dont lie now.
Wether it would be to look at gore pics, join in on weird topics, we have all been to /b/ since we've heard much about it.

There's a ~homestuck blogger~ from tumblr I've fallen out with and she's a huge bitch who's into cosplay so sometimes I browse through the homestuck cosplay threads to see if she's posted to see if anyone agrees with me about how rude and self-absorbed she can be. I've considered posting her myself but I'm not sure enough people know her and I think one of the trips on here is friends with her so I'm not sure how that'd go down.

>>6368968
I literally just scrolled through the front page and left each time because the usual shit they have doesn't interest me. I don't see how it could have an effect on me that way. Gore is gore, and weird topics come up on every board.

>>6368410
Who, Flan?

Wouldn't /cgl/ secrets just be /cgl/? As in, people say this shit anyway.

>>6368790
Uh, no, there are plenty of weaboos in Holland.
Do you even visit cons? Sane cute girls actually exist.

ANNIE PLS GO

omg, someone please make a cgl secrets/confessions tumblr where people can submit their stuff via anonymous asks. or should i make one? would somebody visit/read/use it? i'd do it if i knew seagulls would participate.

>>6369021
That's a stupid idea. See this post
>>6368979

>>6368790

>Zuid-Holland Weeaboo reports in
> Never been to a con though, but I do go to Castlefest, Elf Fantasy Fair that kind of shit.

I fucking hate all of you who tripfag. I don't understand why you keep adding me on facebook. Speaking of, your facebook cgl group only proves to me how idiotic you all are. It's pathetic, really. It's sad that the majority of you don't cosplay or lolita, yet you feel the need to attention whore here and on facebook. I keep you guys around to keep tabs on your drama and post it here in hopes that you'll fuck off. It's worked for years and only a matter of time till you new fucks fade out.

Hollander calling in here.
Yup we have weeaboo's but to be quite honest, less than in other countries it seems.
I go to many festivals, suchs as Elf fantasy 2x a year, Castlefest, Fantastyval, Summer Darkness.
There's a little circle of Lolita's here that are really snobby though.

>i will never have a cute cgl girl who loves anime

Ireland is shut, I'll move to Canada next year

>>6369179
*shit, I'm on my phone, the autocorrect is so annoying. I dont even know why I go here, I've never cosplayed.

I cosplay for fun and never came to this board until a few weeks before my first comic con.
>>6368109

>>6369165
I love you anon. please rid us of this cancer.

I have no problem with tripfags who cosplay or are lolita, but the tripfags who have thrown together one closet outfit and treat cgl like their personal facebook (most of the canada fags) need to die.

I wish cosplay and egl were separate boards.

>>6369198
Would cgl be cgl without trips? If ONE day it happened everyone was forced into being anon, then what would happen? I mean sure we tripfags ruin alot of stuff, but you still love you us though...... right?

>>6369205
Could you live without your drama that comes from cgl itself and only deal with the loli-dorama?

>>6369179
For cereal. Ireland be shit for everything.

>>6369216
fucking spelling howto..
> but you still love us*

>>6369216
I'd have no problem with /cgl/ being forced anon, even though I'm a namefag.

I think the problem with everyone being forced anon, though, is that we're still posting our faces, and a lot of us are friends outside of /cgl/ as well. You'd start to recognize people by their faces anyway, and it'd only be a matter of time before you have a name to go with the face.

>>6369216
i think /cgl/ would be a lot better of a board with forced anon + IDs.
like 90% of the shit on /cgl/ comes from tripfagging, namefagging, and same fagging.

we get the occasional troll, but it's mostly regulars starting fights because women can't co-exist without trying to start shit.

>>6369229
I personally don't care if people know who are who based off of their costume plans or photos, the point is that namefags wouldn't be able to turn threads OT just by being there and it would be a lot harder to circlejerk/wank EVERYWHERE.

I have all the screenshots of Annie's shitstirring with multiple tripfags, including many that haven't been seen by /cgl/. I'd love to post them, but one of the victims is a good friend and I don't want to hurt her. So whenever Annie's doing her whole "I'm so awesome only one vendetta fag hates me" just remember; there is a hellish load of proof.

>>6369229
Might be true.

>>6369235
I could see the smart things with ID's though, but really think about it... If trips happened to just disappear.. what would cgl really be? Sure you would be on-topic about your cosplays, but where would the drama come from? If we all look deep inside our hearts we can see that we would miss it at some point though, it would just be the casual " I'm jelly over you cosplay " - " You're a fatty ".

But if people really support this idea, why not take it up at /q/ ? Maybe have a month of this running and see what would happen, i'm sure moot would listen at some point.

>>6369260
But let's not forget about the general rules.
>3. ALL DRAMA ALL THE TIME!

And tripfags create this alot.

Tripfags and their haters are in charge of 75% of the drama on this board, if not more. I wouldnt mind forced anon, but I think just IDs would fix current OT issues. Put that on and see what will happen.

>>6368862
I feel with you anon. When I was a newbie cosplayer, most of my cosplays were from things I wasn't familiar with. Going from "dressing to impress/attention" to "dressing for fun" made me realise what a waste of money and time it was to cosplay for other people but yourself. I don't get why other people do it, unless they're in a group.

I don't think I really have any secrets. Not that I'd share if I did, so w/e, I'm done in this thread.

>>6369237
I know what you mean- it does get irritating, and it's definitely the fault of the posters who are circlejerking. I know that I post anonymously if I don't feel it's relevant to the discussion for people to know it's me, but I try to stay on topic whether I'm posting anon or not.

>>6369260
Trust me. No one would notice or care if you are gone. I'm an old as oldfag and I don't even know who the fuck you are, so you can't contribute any amount of drama that would actually be missed.

Thats the problem with name and tripfags, they crave attention and don't often contribute anything besides their obnoxious presence.

>>6368596
I don't think it's that they lack reading comprehension. I think what happens more is that an OP doesn't like the responses they're getting, so they'll try and backtrack and say "Oh god, you're so stupid, you didn't understand what I said at all" and try and act like there were layers of meaning we didn't get, when in reality, it was just some stupid/ignorant statement to begin with. Pic extremely related and not just for trolling.

You can't read tone on the internet. We can't read someone's mind, so if you don't say something outright in detail, there's no way for us to infer things. That's what I see a lot of. I see a statement or a partial statement and people get butthurt because someone "misunderstood" them, when really, you just didn't say the right thing to the extent you thought.

>>6369281
Sure i'll trust you then on that, and yeah sure people wouldnt notice if i went missing.
But as Denmark says >>6369274, tripfags create the drama you anon's crave alot right?

>>6369238
Aw, you can't just tease like that.

>>6369289
I don't mind all tripfags but I would rather see them all go down then see more of your ilk sprout up.

protip: Not all anon crave drama, especially not the stupid shit trips drag up. I could care less which of you losers was dating who, and the same goes for most anons. Its pretty common knowledge that most anons discussing trips are just dropped trips discussing themselves to feel important all convinced one another are anon.

>>6369298
>My kind.
Oh .... oh....... THEN WE JUST GOTTA GET MORE OF THESE! Better call in a party.
Again another matter that can be fixed by id's, lets go to /q/ shall we?

>>6368953
Yea, but a lot of the times the so called 'trolling' gets a bit excessive. Its redonk.

>>6369340
Ignore and move on, fancy functions such as hide works for this, but really... you still wanna read it for sure.

>>6369238
do want this bitch needs to be gone

>>6368862
I get asked by friends to cosplay from series I'm clueless about, and I'm pretty honest when I straight up tell people that it was a request. However, this did end up creating new friendships and a bigger appreciation for the series I'm dressed up as.

But I can't stand idiots like the moviefags for Avengers. I get that you like the movie, but don't act like you're so hardcore (ex. someone didn't know She-Hulk existed).

I did cosplay from series I hated. I never mentioned that of course, because I mainly did it for an ex-boyfriend and I didn't want to say it in front of the staff involved.

>>6369352
Than half of the board would be hidden. Why should that be the only option? Why can't we just have good topics without them turning to shit?
>cosplay dissappointments turn to 'op u stoopid'
>creepy cosplay turned to ashley thread
>advice thread met with more insults
>people rating wip in the fucking progress thread

Id rather have fun topics and a little less bitching than have to hide everything or find a new site all together

>>6369479
What did you expect? Dorama erryday, i guess if you want it to be serious it would be better to move away from 4chan.

We will of course always welcome you back home again with open arms when you get bored of always on-topic stuff.

>>6369499
Id like a happy medium really. Sometimes it gets to be too much. But this could just be a bad week.
Really? Even if I go back to gaia?

>>6369506
Bad weeks happens, but yeah try again next.
It's not like you're special to me ! ... but yeah i would..

I actually post cosplay photos that the people I hate do. It makes me feel better when they get hated on by you people. Judge me if you will, but I really don't care

>>6368260
My secret is that all I have in this world to look to for comfort is my towel.

And now I'm sad.

>>6369516
you are the reason trips and named should be banned.

>>6369584
You're the reason /cgl/ is shit

I really feel that tripfagging is what causes this board to be so broken; this board, and in fact the hobby, would be a more positive place if tripfagging was taken out entirely. There was nowhere near this much rage and drama back when nobody was tripfagging. If you use a trip you are purely whoring attention, there is no purpose to it other than to make yourself stand out, defeating the whole point of 4chan and our peaceful anonymous ways.

I suppose that is my 'secret'. I utterly hate all named cosplayers, tripfags, people who try to get cosplay-famous. It's a dumb hobby meant to be a bit of a laugh and people chasing attention ruin that, it turns it into a competition, it turns it in to high school. If you tripfag, if you watermark all your photos, if you make a pretentious site for your cosplay, you are the very thing that is harming this hobby and turning it into such a catty bitchfight.

My secret is...
I believe that all these people in here bitching about tripfags are what makes this board shit.
A cow is always going to be a cow, no matter what you call it.
A cat will always be a cat, and will always act like a cat.
If you take the name from a shitposter, they're still going to be a shitposter.
If you took the names from all the name and trip fags, then you just end up with a bunch of really obnoxious anons mixed with all the "good" ones, and there is no way to filter it...

I come to /cgl/ because I like hiding behind anon, where I equally cannot be personally attacked AND because I hate how many of my friends seek validation through things like tumblr, Instagram, fb, etc., and are fucking aspie half the time irl.

Case in point, one of my closest friends who is acting like an aspie after we had some difficulties. And stupid me still tries to help her out because I love her ;-;

I digress. Just saying that /cgl/ is the only place I feel comfortable anymore. I find it strange that a place I feel such a stranger is the only place I can do this.

>>6369587
k page whatever you say.

>>6369686
Stop shitting up our thread with your same fagging bullshit, anon.

>>6369709
>>6369686

Like i said earlier, i'm every tripfag and anon here.

>>6369686
>oh u disagree u must be __
Hi Yaya/jnig/dakota/spoony/ashley/PT/samefag

I'm sitting on the toilet with diahhorea reading this thread and it feels so appropriate with all these tripfags.

>inb4 samefagging; different anon

>>6369745
>>6369686
>>6369587
>>6369584
>>6369165
Stop samefagging.

So much mad

>>6369765
why dont you just hop back on cam and show everyone your cleavage and dildos?

I have large labia and am afraid I'll be rejected by men therefore I try to never get into a relationship because I'm afraid he might not like them when we have sex. Oh god. How embarrassing.

>>6369770
It's a packer remember? It's too limp to insert lol

>inb4 You seem mad

I tripfag here sometimes, but only because there's a lot of "OP is samefagging" accusation when someone posts an unpopular opinion, and anyone that agrees, or expands on what they think the OP is saying, gets called samefag.

Its really annoying when that happens so sometimes I trip. I'd namefag, but like a lot of people, I started my 4chins journey in /b/, and (when there wasnt auto-id), people would pick up names and itd just cause more bouts of samefag accusation.

>>6369780
Thats okay. You sure had fun shoving it between your titties and slapping yourself in the face. hey next time have your boyfriend come in too? I'm sure he'd love the show.

>>6369795
I've asked him to come on a couple of times, which he has. He watches and doesn't get in the conversation. Then we discuss it on facebook chat later. He's used to my shenanigans.

>>6368979
It'd be more collective, with a lot more hating on everyone.

>>6369818
He must have had trashy women before then.

>>6369829
>mfw I'm his first girlfriend and he's the only person I've ever had sex with

>>6369838
oh?
>mfw you're most likely the only ass he'll ever get because more than likely hes an unappealing person.
>mfw the last guy dumped your trashy ass I wonder when this guy will move on
Guys get desperate sometimes. It's okay. But the sooner he realizes that youre just a disgusting human being- he'll shove on.
But if you play your cards right and keep his self esteem low...you'll never be alone.

>>6369848
He's had five years to move on and he want's to marry me so....
And last time I got dumped was when I was 17 and in high school. It's funny because I'm the one with the low self esteem, not him.

Cgl secrets? Ikuy cheated on RedDickies

>>6369861
Like I said- guys get desperate.

>>6369848
I'm assuming you're that person that doesn't want me to attend any Chicago lolita meet ups, right.

>>6369868
I'm not a lolita and I don't live near chicago. Just an anon that saw BlakeRyan post that photo for the ceeg chat.
To be honest, girls like you make me vomit.
You're fully aware of the trashy shit you do- yet you keep doing it as if its okay. I assume only for attention.

Feel free to keep being a trashy pig. I don't expect you to stop. So I'll just be here judging you like I am now.

LOL
It's REALLY funny because I was the one who chased him for three years before he decided to go out with me. I was the desperate one.

>>6369862
I'm not surprised.
Didn't she fuck Maguma and God too?

/cgl/ would be a lot better if people stopped complaining about shit threads and started posting threads they want. Image trades (Save one post one), help threads, etc are easy to start. You can't always expect other people to post content you want, sometimes you have to start good discussion and image dumps. People are always going to post drama, it's a part of the culture.

>>6369880
So do girls who sleep around and go clubbing in skimpy dresses make you want to kill yourself? Just wondering because your reference level of trashy...I feel is skewed? Because when I think of trashy, I think of high school drop outs ridden with STDs. Most of the stuff I do is for the shit and giggles, and yes it does get me attention. Which I enjoy. But I guess this is where our minds differ. I see nothing wrong with wanting attention, because it feels good to me. I am inherently selfish. I never grew up with the idea that I should get upset when somebody else is being an attention whore. Which is why I don't get shit like why everyone is mad at people like Spoony. I assume due to how I was raised that I should pursue anything that makes me feel good. Probably why I have an on going problem with drugs and compulsive buying. So, I think our differences come from how we were raised and how we cope with hardship. While I may not like being called trashy, I feel like you should be entitled to your opinions.

>>6369467
I think though when you say straight up it's a request, I would personally think that you're a nice person for doing that for your friends as opposed to be being a poser.

There are some people though who make it seem like they know absolutely everything about the series, hardcore, and fucking hold gatherings to which they know little to no shit about characters.

>>6369934
When you think of trashy you're trying to think of girls worse than you. Yes, they're trashy but so are you. Don't drag spoony into this honey, this isn't about her- its about you.

You sit on the internet, flashing your cleavage to a chat room that had nothing but guys in it (who, by the way, you made feel uncomfortable), posting half naked photos to the internet just to show off how big your tits are, AND you're in a so called committed relationship. Whats funny? You blamed being high for some of that shit (again, you acknowledged that you were doing was awful yet you kept doing it.) So, you're a trashy, disgusting attention whore.
So, my definition of you isnt 'skewed'.

I could care less if you don't like being called trashy because you ARE trashy. You're down right vomit inducing.

I don't like trip and namefagging. Looking at this thread, you can see they've fucked it up.

I don't care who you are or what your name is. At least if you're anonymous and shit posting, I won't have a growing resentment towards you as a person.

Just shut up and be anonymous. No one cares about you and you keep ruining threads. The only one I like is the person who posts the LARP threads.

Name and tripfags make threads about themselves time and time again. What's the point of confessing secrets in this thread when I can see your name?

>>6370004
*girls who sleep around

>>6369981
p.s girls who do wrong, know they are doing wrong, try to blame it on stupid shit, and KEEP doing wrong make me VOMIT not kill myself.
Whos who sleep around and whore themselves out when their in a committed relationship make me want to VOMIT.
VOMIT- not kill myself. Get it right.

Secret: Every time a con pops up, my friends always have one or two new cosplays. Amazing ones, at that.p

I don't want the money for new cosplays (I travel by bus and ghost cons so it doesn't cost me a lot), so I wear my old cosplays.

They've never said anything about it, but I'm always afraid they think I'm a shit cosplayer because I don't have the funds to do anything new anymore.

>>6370004
I said I pursue things that make me feel good, like getting attention. I didn't blame my attention whoring on my drug use or being high.

>>6370024
>what the hell? why is she doing that?
>other anons come in and ask the same question
>Im so high right now
>Im so fucked up right now thass' y
Yea- sure okay.

By the way, those guys wanted to vomit too. You made them feel uncomfortable with your disgusting tits.

Hope your so called boyfriend realizes what a piece of shit fiancee he's getting.

I get irritated when non-popular cosplayers make their own Facebook page. If you're a big-time cosplayer competitively and people know your name and you're getting exposure, then it makes sense to have a Facebook page so people can see what you're up to. Also if you're contributing tutorials, WIPs, and comunication with fans when you can is also cool.

But I have a umber of cosplay friends on Facebook who instead make their own page, have like 20 or so likes from their friends and family, 1-2 shitty closet cosplay costumes and update like hell on these pages. I initially thought early on Facebook that it would be a fun idea, so I supported by liking their page until I saw the cosplays, the posts, just everything.

It just seems like a shameless ploy at wanting to be fucking special. I even still get irritated with some big-name cosplayers depending on the shit they post, but low-publicity ones annoy me with their self-important posts, and then rant as hard as fuck about why no one compliments them or follows their shit.

Except for the 2% out there, most of cosplay should be a fucking hobby, or get your own damn fansite. For some reason tumblr doesn't annoy me about that, but Facebook is to me a different story.

>>6369795
>. You sure had fun shoving it between your titties and slapping yourself in the face.

Where can I see this?

>>6370054
Just wait til she does more drugs and gets on tc. I'm sure shell do it again. But I'm sure you can also just go to her tumblr

Pretty much any tripfag that thinks ALA is amazing. Your friendship is fake, your parties suck, your cosplays suck, basically the entire west coast can just break off and no one would care. What's worse is the most popular guys on the west coast are either aspies or wannabe tryhards and the women are untalented stuck up whores.

The only reason people even know them is because they shit up the board on /cgl/ or they openly talk about it on Facebook.

I'm a romantic asexual and I'm afraid I'll never find somebody who loves me.

I've always loved Flan's posts. She's like Ron Paul. Speaks up, gives great points that debate current attitudes, has new ideas, get shut down by the majority who can't comprehend it or refuse to be given new views on things they're brainwashed into thinking. Except she also gets attacked for her looks because this is, after all, cgl.

I hope she finds success in her new life Japan :3

>>6370432
speaking of her, i started a few flan threads in the past, even hijacked a random thread to spam flan, just cause.
i wanted to stir drama. i feel kind bad, because, i didnt do it to attack her, i just wanted to make cgl ragequit. so yeah, shes nota friend but ive posted her several times

>>6370004
You are really sensitive.

>>6370445
If my messages bothered you enough, so are you. did Eishi tell you I hurtted her feelings?

>>6370471
When did I say they bothered me? Your posts just give off that you're a sensitive person.

>>6370095
Are you mad that you're probably stuck in the middle of no where and not invited to our awesome parties? With our awesome music and awesome shooters and we just sit around soaking up eachother's awesomeness?

>>6370493
I'm implying that they upset you, not saying that you said so.
Sensitive though? I'm going for annoyed here.

I own nearly every print released by angelic pretty, some in all colourways and several limited editions (mostly recent stuff re: limited items). Feels so gooooood! I will never share my closet or coords with anyone. Not because I'm ashamed, I just don't like any of you bitches~

Also, do you ever feel like you just.. keep missing out on nice items you really want? Yeah, that's cause I snipe your auctions as much as possible~ :D

My friend just recently discovered /cgl/ and cosplay and now has these delusions that she's going to be some famous 'paid' cosplayer, despite the fact bitch looks like the Gap troll.

>>6368138
>friend
>can't stand the bitch
okay, anon.

Man, you girls sure are scary.

I stole your cosplay and sold it on ebay. Sorry for hurting you, but after so long I just can't come clean.

>>6370589
Wow, I feel like I know who you are.

Either that, or this is a common problem.

>>6370524
Okay. I can see that you're just trying to start another fight. Have a nice night.

>>6370595
>calls me sensitive
>thinks I'm being aggressive
Tell Eishi I said hello.

>>6370589
>>6370594
Either we both know the same person or it really is common because a few years ago I let my friends borrow my first cosplay and it vanished after the convention.

>>6370603
I'm not the person you're replying to, but you never give up, do you?

>>6370606
A friend left their costume in my house. He's moved to the middle of the states. I've told him to come get it, he never has.
And he left a duel disk here also
Should I clean everything up and sell it or wait?

>>6370612
Give up what? Don't respond to me, I wont reply.
Easy as pie.

>>6370614
Dude, I want the duel disk. Have you considered mailing it?

I actually really liked the 4chan-board-tan cosplays and wish I could get my own group to do it sometime.

>>6370617
Do you really respond to everything? I guess I just don't see the point of going back and forth like you have with the people in this thread. Do you have any reason for it other than something like boredom?

>>6370619
Hell no I'm not spending money to mail it to him after I've told him many times to come get it only to be blown off.
I feel like I've reached out enough, he needs to meet me half way.
It's been 4 years and he JUST moved. Also, the duel disk looks like its missing the strap that attaches it to your arm.

>>6370629
Maybe he'll pay for the shipping?

>>6370623
Do I respond to everything? No, obviously not when I'm away from my laptop. Tonight I'm working on a costume so I'm locked in my work room til I make some progress (not that you really care.)
I've only had a discussion with two people. But are you really asking why I respond to people who respond to me? Because that seems a bit redundant.

>>6370623

>>6370614
I'd say that stuff is now yours unless he pays to have it shipped to him since he hasn't bothered to come get it.

>>6370632
I'll message him about it, again, but he lived down the block for years.
I know I should but I really don't want to go out of my way for him again.

>>6370646
Why didn't you ever take it to him if he lived so close?

>>6370638
You sound like such a cunt. All of your responses are filled with bitchiness, even to an anon who was asking a simple question. I can't wait to see what kind of witty reply you have to me.

>>6370671
>you sound like a cunt
Fine, you sound like a sensitive clit.
>everything you say is bitchy
haha- durr. I know that. Is this really an insult?
>anon was asking a simple question
It was a dumb question and we both know that. Why would you even ask why I would respond to someone who was talking to me? Come on now, use atleast three brain cells and figure that out.
>witty
Why, you must say that to all the diva's. but no, all you get is green text.

>>6370698
and I've been talking to Eishi's white knights. How's the trashy bitch doing? Still slinging her dildos all over the place?

>>6370687
>diva's

We've been talking to a retard.

>>6370700
>implying I even know who the fuck Eishi is

Only thing I know about her is what's been posted in this thread.

>>6370716
Okay, fair enough. Lets get back on track then.
>not picking apart anything else in my post
So we can assume I'm right ? Do I get a prize?
Or is this were everyone stops replying to me and this discussion fizzles out?

>>6370727
What else am I supposed to pick apart? You assumed I'm a white knight, and I told you to otherwise. That was it.

>>6370744
Good show. I'll be taking my leave then.

>>6370606
Let's see... do you know Richard W.? I think that's who it was who told me.

Less bullshit fighting, more secrets.

>>6370800
The fighting already ended, it seems.

I'm part of a Lolita group that's a complete fucking mess. The girls at the top of the pecking order are narcissistic, self-absorbed. They regularly get drunk and organise orgies. All the while keeping the facade of sweet-lolita to the wider community. No one else wants to call them out because they are the ones who organise most of the meets AND the majority of the group is afraid of being ostracized. They all know it too.

So things just keep rolling along with this awkwardness until they get drunk enough to stop acting like assholes, but then they grab at people and try and get them to join in on their sex-parties.

They are having problems with STD's too. You've seen them several times, and even commented on their amazing co-ords.

>>6371444
So nasty, I would call them out in a min


Secret: Thanks to cgl, I now want to embrace the Kawaii lifestyle. I crave attention.

>>6371482
you would just never get invited to anything again, and things would just roll along as usual. Since the sheep Lolita's always have to have the 'head' girls there since they are the ones that organise the groups online stuff and photos and makeup.

>>6371495
I would be okay with that. Maybe cuz I'm more of a flying solo person. Is going to meet ups all that important that you would just sit there and let other ppl waste/ruin your good time by acting like a bunch of dicks.

I smoke crack.

>>6368587

brsh teetj for me pls my fetish

>>6368975

no she's tooo kikiwai queen seagul

>>6371444
Sounds like a community in my country, and I wouldn't be surprised. The people in my comm who know about them are really wary of them!

I love drama, Really really really love drama but after seeing all the stupid posts that the Cristchurch lolitas (NZ) make about each other on here i really fear for my local comm as we are really friendly. I also suspect i know who is posting the other girls to cgl and she doesn't just post people she dislikes: she posts her best friends too like a complete bitch.

I hate almost all the cosplayers in my community, they think that they are "famous." I know all the bullshit about them and don't have any regrets if I need to use it against them.

Oh yeah, Ive posted plenty of pictures from people who I dislike to get chewed out.

I love reading the comments. Shit. is. hilarious.

My secret is I've only just started coming on /cgl/ and it's fun.

._.

Oh god how horrifying

>>6372402
Welcome to dorama, enjoy your stay.. since you're here FOREVER!

>>6370359
never fear anon-

I am asexual too, and I am currently engaged. You will find someone one day who accepts you for you who are :)

A friend of mine was posted about by an anon, and it wasn't a very nice post (CGL, no shit).
I showed her the thread...at first I wasn't sure why.
She got super pissed, and became incredibly "depressed" all day.
Then I realized that I showed it to her on purpose, because I seriously fucking hate her "speshul snowfleek" attitude.
Seeing a bunch of anons bash on her for how she was doing everything wrong with her Coord...it was like seeing her get put in her place.
I regret nothing.

I sometimes feel kind of bad that I only started coming to 4chan since 2010, and /cgl/ this year. If that counts.

>>6368109
im a hopeless romantic an very sensitive (im a dude) but cover that up because it doesnt go well with olympic weightlifting/mixed martial arts... darn feelings, they should be for women alone

I came on here because I have no friends that share my interests and I hope that maybe somehow a friendship will result...

I stayed for the Pixyteri threads.

I'm really racist against asians. have been since I was young. There was this chick named Phong that corrected me on my pronunciations of anime movies whenever I talked about them. it made me want to punch her. when I was five years old and we were learning about the chinese I ran over with a picture of chinese peasants and said "look phong, its your people." My parents also said whenever they were mad at me "i got you a present but I gave it to Phong instead." being 5 I believed that shit amd hated her even more.

>>6372890
>Fucking Phong
Whatta bitch, stealing your presents.

>>6372890
oh my god lol

I once bought a lolita dress from a cosplay site. It fit like a glove.

>>6372890
when I became older, I became really interested in Japanese culture. upon serious research I found out how racist those little fucks are. I mean Jesus, their religion teaches them that they are directly descended from the gods therefore they are holier and better than everyone else. I've seen signs on buildings saying "japanese only" why the fuck are they such little shits? I love everything about Japan but their religion and shitty emotionless attitudes. besides, If I went there they would stare at me and judge me for not being asian and call me a roach. fucking asians man. They are cute, yes- but such assholes.
(excuse my terrible grammar, I'm typing on the wii)

Not to mention whenever I came home from school my parents would be like "oh we made (insert your favorite food here) but phong came over and ate it."
fucking phong man. whenever my parents told me shit like that I wished that she would get raging diarrhea.

>>6372921

I heard a bunch of the budget for TF2 that was supposed to be for gameplay balancing went to Phong.

BA DUM TCHSS

I know some dirt on a lot of tripfags here. Well, not a lot. But enough to humiliate and ruin the ones I do know. I keep it all a secret because fuck drama and the petty mentality. Though if I were to release a secret on one guy, he would totally deserve all the karma.

>>6372911
I think that's mainly the older generation. I went over for a holiday and had a blast. Hell, even the old people were really nice to me. Trying to work out my map and give directions, or old ladies in the baths asking how I like Japanese baths and chatting away too fast to understand much. Everywhere has it's racist dicks, but there's always nice people to balance them out.

Few things piss me off more then men who complain about "Impure" women then bitch about not having had sex, when they refuse to date a woman for not having certain physical traits and then complain about women always going for shallow, mean douchebags, guys who complain about women being disloyal and feeling entitled to cheat on their girlfriends because one girl cheated on them once, etc.The best part is when they spend hours and days thinking about it and hating women for it and then constantly complain about not having a girlfriend or a fuckbuddy etc.

I doubt anyone will respond to this but I'm really not in the mood to hear anyone try to justify why they think women should save themselves for them or why you think women are all whores, etc.

Obviously this isn't my darkest secret but it rarely comes up IRL and I needed to get this off my chest. Especially in 4chan, where I've aggressively encountered it much more than in real life.

>>6373025
Personally I find the whole friendzone stuff ridiculous because it's the exact opposite of how it goes for me. Whenever I make new female friends one of them will come onto me some months later. Ditto /r9k/'s obsession with demure modest girls, I usually turn them down because their personalities come across so bland I don't feel sparks flying. Note that was also another myth crushed, girl's don't automatically get their guy.

>>6372911
>their religion teaches them that they are directly descended from the gods therefore they are holier and better than everyone else
It's silly to judge a people on what some ancient religious texts say. It's like calling Jews horrible people because of all the asshattery chronicled in the Bible. What matters is how the living adherents relate to those stories and I can't say the modern Japanese put much weight on that "divine master race" stuff.

>>6372921
Wii tan you are my favorite person. Phong is such a bitch

I wish I had the nerve to trip and hang out with some of you guys at conventions. Most of you guys are massive faggots, but it looks like so much fun.

>>6374000
What is this meme called? Can we have a series of tripfags with words and shit over them?

I lost it at "abs?"

>>6373025
As a guy, I fucking hate those beta faggots too.
It's this society, man. All these movies and shows where the "nerd" or "loser" gets the girl makes them feel entitled. So when it doesn't magically work out in real life they spazz out. And when you try to tell them to grow up they're just like "No, BRO! You grow up!"

C'est la vie.

I broke in to my old high school and stole a monitor.

I regret nothing.

I still use it to post pictures of my crossplaying and view pornography.

i regularly post lolita advice/info, even though i've never truly worn or owned lolita.

If you see
>Please be in London
or
>wouldbang/10
That's probably me :3

>>6374097

The weird thing is, that gender equality is not really equal. Women can have their career, have their babies, quit their career if they want and be a stay at home mum.

Guys who want to be the stay at home dad, or want to be the homemaker, are laughed at, or called loser still.

>>6374151
I do, as well. Though I have studied it like crazy, and the advice seems to help people, so no harm no foul?

>>6374176
Really? My dad raised my brother and I by himself, and I currently know plenty of single or stay-at-home dads. I've never seen them get insulted for it. There's usually compliments about how proficient they are at cooking, keeping the house clean, etc. A lot of them also have small hobbies they make a profit off of, or perform part-time work from their homes, which also gets envious comments about how nice it must be to work but also experience your kids growing up instead of being locked into an office block for 9 hours every day. You've been watching too many air freshener commercials if you seriously think men get flack for homeduties.

>>6374177
yeah, true. and it drives me crazy that girls don't fuckin' READ. i mean, come on there's a list of reliable stores. no, for the bazillionth time, myfuckin-lolita-dress is not that trust worthy.

>>6374196

my g/f thinks im a loser/not a 'man' if I suggest anything other than fulltime worker with her as stay at home homemaker/mum

I want senpai to notice me.

Haha but really my "secret" is that I want to be a good cosplayer and have people recognize me as a good cosplayer. I don't care about getting cosplay famous but just having people say I'm a good cosplayer would make me happy. I'm so insecure about my cosplays and I know I have a long way to go, but I really want to get to that point one day. It's pretty dumb I know.

Posted threads about this friend of mine. She came to defend herself. Lols ensued. No regret was had on my part.

>>6374264

Jeez, is this what you bitches think friendship is?

No wonder you're so bitter and jealous.

>>6374225
Well, that's your girlfriend's shitty opinion, and not at all indicative of what wider society thinks. What is she, super conservative religious? The family unit is now a fluid structure. Who stays home is dependent upon a wide range of factors and not just how masculine/feminine anyone feels.

>>6374225

You need to get a new girlfriend. the one you have now is an archaic cunt.

I have a group of friends who I guess are kind of well-known cosplayers in certain circles and while I love them to pieces and do think that some of the stuff they do is pretty cool and solid, for some reason I am constantly fearing/mentally preparing for the day they get posted on /cgl/ or, worse, get turned into huge drama fodder by this site. It's completely irrational because they don't really do anything outrageously lolz-worthy but I've seen all sorts of people get thrashed by /cgl/ for stupid shit (though admittedly, a lot of that is exacerbated by poor reactions to /cgl/'s "criticism") yet I can't help but kind of worry about it.

I think it's because I know I probably wouldn't step in to whiteknight or anything like that, which makes me feel guilty. I feel like I'm putting the board's culture before the integrity of my friends. I guess it'd depend on what they could possibly end up on /cgl/ for but I don't see myself jumping to their rescue or anything. I dunno. It's a very strange thing to worry about.

>>6374415
Actually, you are doing (or anticipate doing) EXACTLY the right thing there. Some of the worst drama is caused by overzealous whiteknights going head-to-head with overzealous trolls. The best thing to do about being posted on /cgl/ is to simply ignore it, let it autosage out of the light of day, don't antagonise the board or try to "fix" people's opinions on the subject. It's like how adults always tell kids not to respond to their bullies, if you don't make it fun for them they'll forget it in time.

I don't think I'll ever have the heart to try and cosplay.

I've been admiring people who manage to do it well, and made some friends who are really into the hobby. I was excited when they got awards, got into cosmode, and all that kind of stuff. I never told anyone that I would really, REALLY like to cosplay too.

I just can't being myself to do it. I have the funds to do it, and I can really get some quality stuff for decent prices, but whenever I imagine myself cosplaying, I just get really dis heartened.

I guess it has to do something with having so many friends who are attractive and do cosplay. I fear that I'd be one of 'those' pictures that even I would end up laughing at.

It really sucks too, because I've been losing a lot of weight for a cosplay (about 28 pounds) but I just can't pull the trigger.

I monitor /cgl/ looking for pictures of a past gf or bf to be posted so I can tear their costumes to shreds and bitch about them.

I didn't even mention anyone specific, and I got this.

Looks like I'm not sharing my story...

>>6374450
Ya gotta believe in yourself.
Fuck the haters, true OGs always roll DEEP.

>>6374488
When I think too many people are harping on one person I report them.

Too much is too much ladies. If you call too many people complimenting each other a circle jerk then that the hell do you call too many people bitching at/about one person?
>pot
>kettle
>black

i'm completely miserable in my romantic "life". every relationship i've tried has crashed and burned either quickly or couldn't even get off the ground. i've been outright laughed at and called ugly or trollish.

i'll very likely just live a life of work, then die alone.

Anus

>>6374554
i was told once that ugly people don't deserve happiness.

>>6374565

ATL lolitas made me hate the fashion

>>6372921
>>6372890
Thats fucking hilarious. every time I see something I don't like on this board I'm just going to go, "phong, get out" you made my day wii tan

I'm so jealous of one of my friends. Her boyfriend buys her all the Lolita dresses she wants and even I'm so so jelly. She hardly buys anything herself, just bats her eyelashes at her bf and the next hour she's going all on about what he's going to buy her. I just wish I wasn't such a bitch lately. I'm acting sweet and I'll never be a bitch in someone's face, but I have so many angry feelings towards a lot of people and I just can't help it. I used to be a goody-goody and recently grew some backbone, but I think I might have grown a bit too much.

>>6375014
Phong is officially a new swear word.

>>6375083
Hey, it's ok to be jealous! What matters is how you treat others do don't feel bad.

>>6375189
It shall be done.

>>6375189
this is now a thing

I get so pathetically obsessed with cosplayers and their drama that it legitimately deserves discussion in therapy.

>>6372979
Dude, you can't say shit like that on here and not deliver.

>>6376005
She told everything to phong and doesn't want to share anymore

>>6372979
Don't we only have like...three guy tripfags? That still post regularly, I mean.

>>6370432
Thank you! ;o

>>6370437
umwat. not sure if feels.

>>6381355
You're in Japan now?
What's it like over there in terms of hospitality? How racist are they?

Captcha: locisc cooch3

>>6381375
No, not just yet! Another 7 months and then I'll have permanently relocated there.

I can't give an accurate tourists' view of Japan as I kinda...well, integrated into the culture and society right away.
I speak the language, know how to act, knew how the travel systems worked, knew the areas and dress in a way that still fits in, so I automatically got a lot of respect there. I also generally only went to places that had no English at all, so right away there was the 'Ohhhhh! She must know what she's doing.' reactions. Especially in three of the restaurants where there were yakuza types and important people I assume. I say 'types' because I have no clue, but got a strong vibe of them being important outside of a corporate world. Plus the places were more private/exclusive. I got shouted some random crackly fried sashimi stuff in one, haha.

Word of advice - don't carry around your suitcase or camera. Leave them in a locker or at your hotel at all times (unless you're a backpacker, then locker for sure). Reasons being a)the locals will all judge you and know you don't belong, and b)it gets in the way of so much enjoyment. You're better off going around like you would in your hometown - wallet, phone, bag. That's it. You can come back for photos once you've properly experienced the place.

FYI - this is Tokyo-only experience. In short, know what you're doing and don't be a tourist = no racist, amazing hospitality.

i don't cosplay, am not familiar with any commonly cosplayed fandom other than homestuck, don't know any of the people you laugh at and only come here for the drama and shitstorms.

>>6381401
Lol. Are you trolling?

>>6376249
a lot of the older ones still lurk, if you follow them on twitter or have them on facebook you can tell who still reads cgl and who actually has moved on. But even the ones that are still here have learnt to get the fuck out of the drama circles.

Shame the female trips aren't as intelligent.

>>6381401
>I automatically got a lot of respect there
>'Ohhhhh! She must know what she's doing.'

u so kewl every1 looks up 2 chu

But they're judging you, you're just too dumb to notice.

>>6381375
Obviously not Flan, but I'm living with my boyfriend here just outside of Tokyo. We aren't in much of the congestion of the city, but pretty much a lot of people to tell you that it's not THAT bad. Nobody is going to outwardly put you down verbally or something. Maybe a whisper or a stare here or there, but if that gets to you, you honestly shouldn't be traveling in the first place.

People are nice, from my perspective (but then again, many people that I've met have been friends of my boyfriend, his family, family friends, etc.). But they were nice, and genuinely wanted to hear my opinions and such.

>>6381401
> right away there was the 'Ohhhhh! She must know what she's doing.' reactions.

there probably wasn't. They pretty much in many places (in central Tokyo that is) find foreigners to be pretty amusing to sit back and watch. It's also taboo for them to just speak out about somebody in public. If you are a foreigner, they are assuming things about you. You will never 'blend in' no matter how long you stay.

>>6381408
...no?

>>6381411
Okay, I'll take your advice and view over this since you not being there makes you somehow more qualified to judge.

>>6381414
I think the closer you are to the city, the less 'judging' you'll get. Again, suitcases+cameras on you will get you a LOT of stares either way from my experience.
Funny thing is, once you go to the very far off places, they don't show any negative reaction at all. The only stares I got in Japan without carrying a suitcase was from a group of schoolkids on an excursion when I was in Yanaka. I guess it's like:
Centre/most populated areas - foreigners visit lots, so its normal.
Middle areas - huh, are they lost? let's stare.
Far off areas - no hassle, no issue, the foreigners must know what they're doing if they're out this far.

Either way, once you open your mouth and decent Japanese comes out, you're in the safe zone anyways. Again, just my experience. >>6381411 over here seems to think I'm full of it.

>>6381431
Well look, you're fine to assume that, but I feel I did quite well. There was no sitting back - people shouted me food, patrons chatted to me without sugar-coating or simplifying the language from the start, jokes were shared, and even networking professional opportunities arose. I won't justify it further as clearly you had to be there for each time. The backlash on here was expected.

>>6381442
And today Flan tells us about how in awe of her Japan is and how lucky they are to have her. Why are you so arrogant? You're not even pretty.

>>6381450
10/10, made me giggle.

I masturbate to Albino-chan ._.

>>6381431
>>6381411
>female gives first-hand experience
>cgl who was not there, has probably never been there or got shunned 'THAT DIDNT HAPPEN LIAR!!!!!'

>mfw

>>6381453
Seriously, that's how you came across in that post. Actiny all "lolz i no care" doesn't help, either.

>>6381455
Now that's someone who doesn't make everyone cringe everytime they post.

Flan: No one cares about your wonky faced self.

>>6381460
It's because of the way she was bragging about how awesome everyone thought she was that I replied. Also, Japan judges everyone.

>>6381460
flan pls stop
it's 2 obvious

>>6381446
I haven't posted in this thread yet, but for all the attention you've previously poured into people like Kotakoti and other gaijin who got a shot at fame in Japan... I've always been highly suspect that your ultimate goal is to be a gaijin tarento / idol yourself, much like Kotakoti / Beckii / Leah Dizon. You seem to know a lot about them and I suspect that's because you're researching what works and what doesn't because you ultimately just want to get up to that level.

Am I correct?

>>6381461
All I said was that I got positive reactions and got along with people without hassle.

>how you come accross
>Flan tells us
>tells us

>no one cares
Sure is a lot of replies (and asks over the last few days) that must not exist then.

>>6381470
She's too ugly and untalented to make it even onto a shitty morning show. At least Dakota is cute.

>>6381470
I'm too lazy for an idol lifestyle - I like the corporate lifestyle much more anyway. I do follow the other idols, because of course the drama is interesting, their journeys are interesting and I learn new makeup and clothing styles/coords. Colour me guilty for being interested? I don't think every single person on here following those threads wants to be an idol either.

>>6381473
Flan you should do a lewd Reimu.

>>6381478
I'm not here to judge whether she's capable of it, but I am curious considering how much she knows about gaijin who have gotten attention for either their looks, their language skills, or whatever and gotten a small appearance on a TV show or more... I'm just wondering if that's one of her goals.

>>6381446
I mean, more power to you that you felt good for communicating, but it still doesn't change the fact the people judge here hardcore. Just face it, if you aren't Japanese, you're never going to get the "authentic experience" you think you're getting. People ARE easing their speech ( I did it with my foreign friends back home too, so I don't blame them), they are amused by the mundane shit you can do (YOU CAN USE CHOPSTICKS??ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THE SIMPLE ATM MACHINE? YOU CAN EAT RICE??), and sometimes they straight up want to avoid just the hassle of you being a foreigner.

Try having to get your point across while buying a TV from a salesman who wants to purposely suck more money out of you. All in broken English conversation, because even though I'm speaking a level of Japanese that allowed me to get the second half of my bachelors at a Japanese university, I apparently can't handle picking out a TV . "DISSU YOO KEN YUJ BETTUH! NO NO NO DISS U NEEDO" .

You are a foreigner in Tokyo no matter what. Even if you hide your camera, and are just carrying your purse they assume you don't have a fucking clue what you are doing.

Sorry if I forgot how to english in this post

>>6381486
Nope. I've done TV stuff before, but I just don't find myself drawn to it any of it. I work in media these days so maybe that put me off of it as well. It's just more of a fascination, because there's always the anticipation of 'will this be a trainwreck? will this turn out awesome?'.

Leah Dizon, for example. Her singing.....yeowch. But you kinda can't look (or listen?) away. Her personality, on the other hand, holy hell I want to take her home and keep her forever. So you keep watching for the cuteness.

Dakota - she flops all over the place with who she is on which day, be it manly or ~fakekawaiiaidorugyaru~ attitude. Of course it's interesting.

>>6381478
Well, subjective really. I have a lot of hobbies and abilities.

>>6381495
I can understand that viewpoint, but end of the day personal experience is different to assumed/ perceived attitudes.

I got a lot of mature responses, there was never a 'wow you can say hello, WOW~~'. Eg, at a completely Japanese sushi bar, serious patrons, no signs nor menu. I could name most of the fish they had at the front of the bar (25+) and the responses were humble nods in approval and such. Again, you'd have to be there to obviously believe me. All I can do is say what I experienced.

I'm not saying there's no discrimination in Japan, nor that I was treated like a national, just that I got a lot of respect because I knew what I was doing. Every shop person treated me as if I lived there, so it was kinda sad each time saying 'No, not just yet.'

>>6381508
Flan how the fuck is this a CGL secret.

This thread wasn't made for you to talk about how much Japanese people love you.

>>6381495
Agreed. You get a gazillion concessions as a foreigner in Japan, with the price being that you don't actually belong there ever, no matter how long you've lived there or how well you speak. Maybe one of the most mundane examples was that when I went over with a friend who's half-Japanese, she always got corrected on her Japanese when people found out she was half, and I was told how good mine was despite her being a gazillion times more fluent, because I'm a foreigner and not held up to the same standards.

>>6381529
If you're going to whinge at me, whinge at the others in the discussion(including yourself), hide my trip or report the thread. It'll fix that for you.

>>6369779
Don't worry, I have one large labia (which I hate and am still self conscious about) and one normal one, and no guy (out of six) has ever complained, or even seemed to notice. You'll be fine.

>>6381461
>wonky faced

Ignoring the silly program's comments, it seems pretty even to me.

My cgl secret? I missed flan on trip.

>>6381535
I'm not reporting a thread when you're the one who keeps making it off topic. If you're so mature and above all this why don't you stop replying?

>>6381540
>tfw flan looks better than me even with half a face of makeup

I wish I saved more when she posted more of these ;-;

>>6381540
>>6381544
Hi Flan. Desperate, much?

>>6381540
Without trip is more fun sometimes. I get such different reactions to what I say lol.

>>6381544
I wish I could remember how I even did that makeup. ;<

>>6381540
what's the link to that?

>>6381550
I'm a desperado.

>>6381547
See >>6381375 who asked the original question. I gave a response, then see

>finally sees Flan

What a basic bitch, was expecting someone with supermodel face

>>6381562
That's fine for me though.

I have to say both /cgl/ and /jp/ are just both assholes/bitches.

>>6381544
WOAH
what's up with her nose?

>>6381577
It's Russian. Yes, it. It's its own entity.

>>6381577
GingerFlan was best Flan ;-)~

>>6381603
>>6381603
nah, this one

My secret? I'm a total newfag, and nobody's noticed.

awyeah.jpg

>>6381603
I'm quite impressed that you've got that.

Back on topic:

My cgl 'secret' is that I actually don't like the constant Ashlee+PT threads. Yes I get the drama but having so many kills the funny factor. I wish there was a 'best of' on occasions instead, just to keep it juicy.

>>6381603
>>6381544
dat amazing sculpted euro model face ;-; hnnnnnng so bad ;-;

>>6381710

>>6381544

Flan if you're gonna talk to yourself as anonymous at least stop using the same exact emotes and writing style.

>>6381718
Uh, those emotes aren't exclusive to one person in the whole world. I have nfi what you mean by those writing styles though.

"Secret": I dont know why i come here. Its so empty and illogical. I guess it makes me feel a bit better about myself.
Visiting on my mobile doesn't even make it worth it though....

My dream is to become a housewife.

A little housewife who wears cute Japanese fashion and has a hard working salaryman husband that also likes anime and conventions.

I'm considered the type that likes to go out and party a lot so no one would really expect this.

>>6381736
Ah, so a lazy person?

>>6382628
well if you actually have kids and keep a nice household, support your husband and cook for him rather than ordering/eating out and hiring a housekeeper it IS a full time job

that's why this is a symbiotic relationship that dates back to when humans were transitioning from hunting and gathering to establishing long-term dwellings and developing agriculture
