/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This many threads is not necessary, guys. It's been nearly an entire week since the whole thing started.
You might as well delete this thread. There's nothing happening anymore, if something does happen you can just make a thread about that.

How the fuck did we make it to 16 threads?

>>7693433
When people stop posting in these threads then people will stop making new ones

Must make it to 17!!

>>7693439
You mean 17000

>>7693437
But since /cgl/ is a slow board, it isn't that hard to pop into the catalog and find the thread.

I can't imagine any more drama or new information popping up about DashCon. But maybe I'm wrong.

They didn't ask WTNV permission to release those emails? Really? Fucking hell they really did not learn their lesson at all.

>>7693455
Is this a real thing? Do want. I feel like I was there after having been present in all these threads.

>>7693472
Maybe their "legal adviser" told them it was okay.

>>7693480
Ha ha. I just googled "DashCon" and it came up in images.

http://skreened.com/katestees/i-survived-dashcon/

You can always go to some website that let's you design your own shirts and make one yourself to save a few bucks.

I saw the email that the unnamed staffer sent to WTNV when they asked if the con was open. It was perfunctory but not rude at all. Did they expect a gushing, "Dear sirs, thank you for your lovely email. I hope my response finds you well on this beautiful day and crowds of virgins throw themselves upon you. In answer to your question, yes! the convention certainly is open and is eagerly awaiting your heavenly bodies to descend upon us. Kind regards, Dashcon Admin"?

I really dislike how their statement just blames some unnamed staff member and says "we have removed them from our staff" - not "we've discussed this with them" or "I take full responsibility for how this was handled and we are writing guiidelines on how to approach this in future". I am kind of disgusted by them for that alone.

It now has a Wikipedia page, oh boy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashcon

>>7693505

>>7693574
>wikipedia

that doesn't mean shit. the ED article has been up since this whole thing started. and it's MUCH more well documented, which i find quite hilarious.

>>7693433

Waaaah waaaaah There's a thiNG I DON'T LIKE I GOTTA WHINE ABOUT IT! Go back to tumblr.

On the off chance you aren't aware, dashcon's admins keep fucking up as the days go by. That's why more threads keep popping up. There's plenty of new shit to cackle at.

>>7693580
but where's her flower crown?

>>7693611
Holy shit, dude, calm down. I've been in these threads since #2 or so, I don't dislike them at all. Keep your pants on.
The fact of the matter is that a mediocre imploding convention does not warrant a 24/7 general on what is a relatively slow board. People can just check the catalog if they want to keep talking about it. And the rate of stuff coming out now is slow enough a week after the fact that we don't need to make new threads every time we hit bump limit. For heaven's sakes, >>7689099 is still up. It's just not necessary, and flooding a board with too much of ANYTHING is usually a bad idea, even if I do like it.

>>7693433
get over it faggot
you're making seagulls look bad
>and we don't need your help

>>7693472
the best part is how they claimed they blacked out the email address for "privacy," but left enough visible that you can tell what the full email address is. Probably in the hopes that their dumblr followers will harass WTNV

See, I don't get the email thing. How was it rude? It wasn't as if they were in separate states, they were in the same building (or at least within the same vicinity, either way they were going to see each other that day). WTNV just asked a yes or no question. And another thing, wasn't the email sent from the official Dashcon email? If so, they have no excuse for missing WTNV's message.

>>7693730
>If so, they have no excuse for missing WTNV's message.
Sure they do. The e-mail was read and responded too by "someone". And "someone" got fired.

Dashcon is innocent yo.

>>7693775
Godammit, does this Someone who seems to have been responsible for everything have a tumblr so everyone can go there and abuse them for ruining everyones fun with with their utter incompetence? Someone sounds like a total dick...

>>7693742
At least he doesn't have tumblr telling him he's normal and that anyone who tries to help him fix himself is intolerant.

>>7693434
I haven't checked in since the 11th thread, did anything significant actually happen or are people just shitting on the con as usual?

>>7693891
Official statement released by Dashcon. Nothing really surprising in it. Blamed WTNV on some anonymous staffer replying to an email that somehow the rest of the staff were not made aware of. Screencaps of emails were included in the statement, which WTNV is apparently not happy about. I'm pretty sure that's about it.

>>7693839
This Someone seems like just as much of a fuckup as Florida Man.

>>7693903

You forgot they've apparently hired a hack Bird Lawyer as their legal council as they told Dashcon NOT to refund the WTNV tickets because it would call into question "their other rules and policies" (though the 'rule' included was only added AFTER the show got canceled) but gave the okay to refund people who donated CASH at the con of which they kept no legal documentation. Just email them and let them know how much you donated and your badge invoice number to prove you were actually at the con.

That's my favorite part.

>>7693878
He's quite anti tumblr and used to use SA until he got called privileged cis scum.

I just wish he was able to do cons with me again.

When he was 11 and I was fifteen I brought him to one and we had a fucking blast together. He won some contest and got some gifts and a few dolla even.

We had to stop when he was around seventeen, and he's nineteen now. Last time I saw him he lost his second job due to emotional issues and it really bummed him out.

but at least he plays really obscure japanese games, plus he's mega /m/.

>>7693929

The decline of SA is as sad as the decline of your brother.

>>7693433
Shut up most are gone anyway.

>>7693953
Yes, yes it is. The funny thing is that they created /srs/ as a joke and a trolling gig, then they fell too deep into their own joke.

He said he told them "The greatest privilege is a healthy mind." I chuckled.

Holy shit, you guys. I suggested that 16 threads might have been enough to cover three days of fucked-up con financial and general stupidty that happened a week ago and suddenly every motherfucker is on my back.
I just didn't want to spam this on the board that is ostensibly for cosplays and cons, because it's a slow board and having one thread open at a time ought to be enough, let alone three.

If you disagree for some fucking reason, that's fine, but Jesus Christ there's absolutely no reason to get so assblasted that somebody had the gall to say "isn't this enough now, maybe?" For heaven's sakes, I've been here for the entire week now, I was just saying it might be a good idea to slow down at some point. We can't keep a Dashcon general going for forever.

>>7693455

>Underlings such as "16 year old girl with self diagnosed mental disorders that had her pulled out of a regular school and an unstable personality" and "14 year old contracted to beg for art from popular artists" were all working under a set of admins who were the real brains behind Dashcon. There were several other admins not listed here though the others did seemingly nothing and do not matter. Dashcon is owned by Roxanne Schwieterman (20, majors in "hospitality management", intends on professionally planning conventions and weddings, likes A Fault in Our Stars) who was helped by Megan Eli (32, degree in interior design and unemployed, listed herself as a Featured Artist for Dashcon), Cain Hopkins (20, wannabe cosplayer, lives in Ohio but talks with a fake British accent), and Lochlan O' Neil (17, cosplay "model", emotionally unstable, was paid $800 by Roxanne to fly to Dashcon from her home in Denver, CO).

I should probably take that into account as well. I just didn't expect such a vehement response. I'm not going to report or anything, because it's not against the rules. That would be ridiculous. Like I said, I'm not upset, just trying to be polite.

trust me then, you just let the fad threads run their course. if it's truly offtopic and disruptive the mods will see to it. otherwise they'll last 2 weeks tops before everyone gets bored or finds something else. /cgl/ may be slow but making a new thread when the old stops bumping is pretty common practice. we love our horror stories threads and keep them going religiously, it just happens that the entirety of dashcon is a horror story in and of itself so we want to keep track of every little detail 24/7. it'll blow over soon enough.

The weird silliness is nice but the forced relationship plot is cringey. Also all the additional voices they have as guests in the later episodes fucking suck. They all read lines like they're second graders giving speeches to their entire schools.
If you need a lot of something to listen to while you're working on things it's nice filler.

Depends on the fandom, I think. I usually trudge through a lot to get to the things I like. Sometimes I read smut and end up laughing half-way through because a corny description ruined the mood. At least I got a laugh?

remember back in the good ol days where kinky fanfiction was called lemon and it was pretty much just normal sex?

>>7694866
>pretty much just normal sex
r-right, sure.

>>7694866

.... which fandom were you in? Things used to be unabashedly kinkier/more fetishy before the sjw police swooped in and tried to make things more PC or have some sort of social agenda. It's part of the reason why I've stopped reading as of late.

The surreal comedy/horror stuff is pretty fun. I'm not sure how to feel about the anniversary and live shows. Cecil rocks, but the additional cast are really hit and miss.

Thanks to all the shit that went down at Dashcon, plus the cute cosplayer I posted earlier in this thread, I gave WTNV a listening last week. I enjoyed it; while there were a few moments that were pure fandom bait (as someone warned me before), I still liked the production values and effort put into the show. Also, the weather.

>>7694915
It was probably planned from the beginning, given how Cecil describes Carlos in the very first episode. They might not have meant for them to ever have a relationship, though, given the initial implications that Cecil idolized Carlos while Carlos had more scientific things on his mind. One of those dramatic irony sort of things, you know?

At least, that was the vibe I got from it.

>>7694915
It was planned from the start yeah, but they were surprised at how much fans seemed to latch to it. It wasn't supposed to be such a huge focus.

Oh god painful memories have just returned to me.
A couple of years ago I was Tumblr famous among a music fandom (not naming who, it's irrelevant).
I'd get spammed with stupid and uncomfortable TUMBLR questions about the band everyday and there was this unstable 14 year old who wanted to roleplay with me as members from said band.
I was jobless at the time, extremely depressed and super bored so I agreed, as retarded as I thought it was.
>Started as drummer (girl) and guitarist (me) from the band, just being bros
>Eventually she moved that to drummer being in love with the guitarist
>Sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex (and both of us were virgins at the time so just imagine that)
>They get married
>Drummer gets pregnant
>At this point I start getting super uncomfortable with this awful story this girl has set up for these two musicians
>To give a hint on what band this was, both musicians are like, 70+ years old today
>Drummer gives birth out of the butt and suddenly the guitarist is promoted to home-mom cause his hair used to be long back in the 70s
>At this point I break off all contact because of the retardation of things
>She makes a Tumblr post saying that she is going to kill herself a few days later
>Of course she didn't, but I deleted my tumblr soon after cause people started blaming me for it and getting pissed at me and my blog. Started stealing my art and overall being shit people.
>RP girl sent me a mail about a year ago, adressed to <Guitarist> asking how <he> was doing and letting me know that the baby was ok and that <Drummers> butt still missed <Guitarist>

>at least I got paid to run the blog
Running a tumblr account today is quite hard though, I just can't get myself to post anything on there anymore.

>>7694998
This is why I just stick to stalking artists I like

>>7694998
i dont know whether to be scared or impressed
i mean i liked some silly sexy shit when i was in a fangirl phase over [probably the same band], but damn wow no. this makes me feel normal.

>>7695006
I'm no longer open about my music tastes or really any of my tastes besides anime and video games. Swear to god, music fandoms and real-life tv-shows/movie fandoms are fucking batshit insane.

>>7695038
I've seen some shit anon. I could tell more stories about this girl but it'll wait till we get another terrible-tumblr-people thread.

>>7694918
Enjoying weird shit is fine as long as you keep it to yourself, I found. But as soon as you go announcing your fetishes to the Internet non-anonymously you are fucked.

Protip: women often take fat ogre shits during childbirth, it has nothing to do with giving birth out of the anus and everything to do with giving the child immunity to bacteria in the most disgusting way imaginable

>>7694370
It's not icky girl germs, it's not being attracted to women. As someone who reads smutfics from time to time (albeit not ABO or anything of the sort), I don't like reading fics with girls as one half of a straight relationship simply because it doesn't get me going. Nothing against women otherwise, the female characters are mostly just written horribly (you'd expect better from actual women writers but nah) which is a huge turnoff and I can get straight stories from any movie ever if I want to.

That photographer is one of the worst I've seen. I like how he has like a professional fb page and everything when he probably just has a cheap DSLR and zero knowledge how to use it outside automatic settings.
Also, is it just me or was everyone at the con really unattractive? I browsed through all of the pictures and found maybe 3 or 4 good-looking people, tops. Everyone else was pimply, greasy, hairy and awkward looking. Ew.

>When King Leonidas and Queen Annabeth announce the birth of their son, Prince Leopold, they are elated and have nothing but the highest of hopes for the future. However, the young prince has a secret. Upon his eighteenth birthday, when his parents urge him to begin his search for a wife, he admits he prefers princes over princesses. He quickly finds himself locked away in a tower, and word of his 'sudden death' is touted throughout the Kingdom of Moreng. While the whole of the kingdom grieves their loss, his best friend, Amod, refuses to believe tales of the prince's death. With the agony of a long-standing but unspoken love driving him, Amod, along with a quirky search party, sets out on a quest to find and save the prince. The less-than-adept group encounters many challenges, new friends, and more than their fair share of foes on their journey through an ancient yet modern-day world of unicorns, dragons, swords, smart phones, social networks, and high-speed internet. Woven in with all the dangers of such a quest, there are life lessons to be learned and deeper personal truths to be discovered. The story is often as dark as it is lighthearted, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. You'll never know what might happen next, and you may even begin to wonder if love really can conquer all.

C'mon be subtle in your meme inclusion

>>7694998
So you were getting paid to run a blog for a larger band, and you used the account to roleplay with a fan?

Like, I don't want to blame you or anything, but that kind of sounds like a stupid situation

>>7694441
Aww this is really cute! I love Firefly.

>>7695643
It sounds like they were just a Big Name Fan, and not official at all.

>>7695225
Sounds like your average urban fantasy thing that's kind of masquerading as an adventure story, or verse visa. The fact that the story is ostensibly about the adventure itself but spends no time at all describing the party etc. gives me pause or I'd check it out.

>>7695649
I suggest you read an excerpt here >>7695547
This picture is also a good indicator of what the quality of the writing is.

>>7695657
Their journey had already become much stranger and more treacherous than any of them had anticipated. For inhabitants of enchanted Kingdoms, they weren’t entirely accustomed to creatures with such a high degree of articulation and magical skill, nor were they acclimated to any real level of danger in their more mundane daily lives. Once concerned with their overall lack of street-savviness, none of that seemed to matter anymore. It was blatantly obvious they weren’t in any ordinary forest, and it was going to take creativity and ingenuity to beat the foes they were certain still lay ahead of them.

Eternally grateful to the apparently brilliant Princess, the group moved forward very deliberately. Each of them nervous about what they might face next, they feared it could be even more terrifying and deadly than the badgers, mushrooms, and snake. They were, however, relieved to have survived their first real challenge. With one win under their belts, there was an air of cautious optimism, a genuine hope they might just make it out of the forest alive. If nothing else, they were finally all keenly aware that each member played an important role within their party, and their strength as a group came from trusting one another’s instincts in times of crisis. It stood to reason that any idea, no matter how daft it sounded, should be heard out and considered, and nothing could be written off based on absurdity alone. Normal rules no longer seemed to apply, which would take some time to get used to. Unfortunately, if the Prince were to be saved, time wasn’t a luxury they could afford to spare and had no choice but to process the situation whilst still moving forward.

>>7695657
Ah, thanks.
Well, this was underwhelming. Definitely nothing to write home about.
I'm mostly still wondering why the rest of the party that isn't pining for their lost lub is involved in the first place.

>>7695525

I've pleasantly found that if a teenager (or <35 eternal teenager) wouldn't find something cool or hipster ironic-cool, the online fan communities are great. Full of adults who are literate, 99.9% sane, can take criticism of themselves and the media, and can actually discuss things on a higher level than sex. It's great. But everything else, man. Most internet people born after 1975 or so have no concept of sanity or decorum.

>>7693430
bump

>>7695643
What >>7695648 said. Once I reached 5000+ followers (which was a lot for an unofficial 1-band blog then), I had slowly started to realise that my fandom was full of extremely annoying teenagers. Even the few grown-ups that followed me were insane. I did what any shameless person (and convention) would do and found a way to make money off of people's stupidity. Put some ads up on the blog and started taking art commissions after many requests to do so (despite offering free drawings people were desperate to pay me). Mind you, just so you can tell what a horrible person I was/what shit fans I dealt with, my "art" was traced photos of the band, done in photoshop and I was super open about it.
I wouldn't do it today as I've gotten a lot nicer and don't want to insult actual artists anymore and I no longer find it fair to take advantage of insane fans.

I used to be embarrassed about all the DBZ porn I read, now I realize I was actually normal all along

>>7695923
I'm more confused that she unironically used the word "quirky".

>>7694309
I've heard from normal sane people that Supernatural is actually a good show, but I've heard so much shit like this I don't think I can't ever bring myself to watch it.
Why can't people just enjoy a show/book/whatever for what it is without projecting all this weird sexual subtext onto it? It's like a personality type; people that do this just move from one "fandom" to another doing the same shit over and over. When does it end?

>>7695939
>Why can't people just enjoy a show/book/whatever for what it is without projecting all this weird sexual subtext onto it
I think it's just the fact they're REAL actors that makes it weird. When people do the same thing with anime/book fiction it's not nearly as cringe-inducing.

>>7695948
Well, it's not even so much the gross factor, but I feel like I can't find people to talk to about media I like without "zomg who do you ship?" bullshit and retarded memes. It's like nobody cares about the story, it's all arguing about which characters are going to have gay sex first.

I enjoy ABO shit but that's only because I have an impregnation kink. (Female impregnation only though, none of that butt babies shit.) Then again, I also enjoy shitty porn, hentai and bizarre doujinshi.

There's lots of weird shit out there. The only thing that bothers me about ABO is that a lot of times they try to turn it into the whole 'I'm oppressed!' story or something. Which would be fine if it weren't so painfully obvious as a stand-in for tumblrina problems, which are the very definition of first world problems.

>>7695964
>>7695939
It's fucking sad
I wonder if these people chill out once they get into real relationships or if they're still fapping to John and Sherlock when they have a real D to hop on to.
>It's like a personality type
I never thought of it like that, but you're totally right. They don't seem to ever like anything that doesn't have two "gay" guys in it either.
A lot of this stuff is really good. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, Free, WTNV and probably some other stuff the fangirls are all over. They're genuinely good stories with interesting characters. I feel like people don't even see that, they watch just looking for exploitable screencaps they can fap to later

ABO originated in J2 real person slash (so that 1 J could be dogfucked by the other J instead of the real dog having to do it or something) so I don't know if watching the show is even a necessary part of it.

>>7695992
I think a lot of them are like all the Final Fantasy people who've never played the video games, just read summaries and watched a few animation clips on youtube. I personally think that a lot of them just want a low effort fixation to distract them from real life, and so they latch onto whatever unfortunate media hits all their criteria and has a constant flow of hype and fresh content.

I think it's honestly boring once you get into it. It's basically male-female dynamics, but sandwiching more males into it and having some sort of pseudo scientific explanation for it. I don't find it interesting, but then again, I don't find universes built around sex very interesting.

okay

so,

Furries, Bronies, and weaboos can run functioning cons

but tumblr can't?

explain that shit

cross-posting from /sp/ because they were making jokes about tumblr sponsoring nascar

for the record: i am a fursuiter

>>7696538

because most furry cons, anime cons, and brony cons are run by people who know how to run a business.

dashcon was hastily organized

okay

>>7696538
I don't know about furry cons but I am pretty sure anime cons have had some bad runs and Bronies had that whole attempted murder thing.

>>7696544

True, but that is over the course of dozens if not hundreds of cons. (Unicon excepted which was maybe 20% less of a clusterfuck than Dashcon.)

Dashcon managed to concentrate pretty much every imaginable failure into one small con.

>>7696544

it's just an observation, you rarely hear of this kind of shit from anime and comic conventions or furry cons

this is the first time in a long time that i heard of oganizers failing to plan ahead

>>7696538
Wasnt there a failed brony con that people compare dashcon too? But the big reason is that no one who organized the con had any experience with conventions. The only one who claimed experience lied through her teeth about it.

>>7696549
There's also the recent Minecraft con

>>7696551

that was unicon somewhere in arizona, yeah, good comparrison, she had no job, and no way to fund it either.
