/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7865934
Brocon cares more about each and every attendee having the best possible time they can and not about the amount of people they can get to attend!


It has the best atmosphere of any con and every year the staff and committee go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure everyone is having the best possible time!


It is a nice, relaxing con and I really can say not a bad word about it!

>>7865934
They're both quieter cons, but I guess they have they're shit together? I don't quite know how to explain it but having been at both cons, I've never seen stressed staffers running around, or anything really run late. Maybe more relaxed people go to the cons?

Easy one to answer: Staff and committee are friendly, the events are varied enough to interest weebs, tabletop gamers, vidya enthusiasts, wargamers and every form of nerd alike, the trade hall has plenty of goodies, and the people there vary from being very easy going and laid back to at worst, slightly eccentric and kooky but devoid of the autism that has infected most of the other conventions in the country.

Cheap bar too. Brocon's a bit of a dark horse, they're a small convention but they at least work their asses off to make sure that people there have fun without any of the ego or self-backclapping that some of the other cons have.

Never have had anything other than a good time at Brocon.

>>7866494
>cheap bar too
At Croker? Not a hope

>>7866677
You wha? Brocon, mate. Not Eirta.

>>7867039
Good, I was confused for a second

>>7866384
Stressed staffers is usually a sign of understaffing.You'd be surprised how many volunteers don't show up.

Nom Con exists in its own time-zone

To be honest I'm kind of done with cons for the time being. I don't watch as much anime as I used to and I don't know when I'll get back into it regularly. Even with all the drama, I kind of miss the con spirit but there's too much bullshit to put up with.

I still really want to cosplay since it's not something I ever got to do properly while passing for female. I might do it for one of the comic cons, as comics are more my speed these days.

Anyone else feeling the same way? I should be feeling good about getting away from a scene that treated me like a boogeyman but it's kind of an empty feeling too. I'll be at Kaizoku since it's local and maybe Brocon for a day for gaming, but none of the big cons and probably not really getting into the spirit of things much.

I think the main thing is just the fact that I go to cons primarily to make new friends and meet people, and I got sick of meeting people who it turns out I couldn't relate to or turned out to be all reddit and shit, and there's a lot of obnoxious anti-feminist/SJ types.

Ideally Arcade Con would be more suitable for me since it's supposedly the most "Queer" of the cons and focuses on comics and shit as well but I've seen too much bullshit from people involved.

Idk I guess like most people I Just want a place to belong or whatevs. Doing the activist shit I've been doing lately is great but I don't necessarily meet people with common interests. I hate being poor too because if I had the money to cosplay I totally would.

>>7867708
>To be honest I'm kind of done with cons for the time being.
Thank Christ
>I still really want to cosplay since it's not something I ever got to do properly while passing for female.
You should probably get passing for a female down first before you cosplay as one.
>Idk I guess like most people I Just want a place to belong or whatevs. Doing the activist shit I've been doing lately is great but I don't necessarily meet people with common interests. I hate being poor too because if I had the money to cosplay I totally would.

I have to say Potsy has awful, awful sleep hygiene. Angrily staring at blue light from a laptop is the worst way to put yourself to sleep.

>implying the rest of us don't

She's posting on a weekday. Come on, better sleep hygiene makes you a happier camper. That applies for all late night posters.

>>7868398
Being a failure usually leads to poor sleep hygiene.

>>7868398
I don't think she has a job. She says she's poor when she wants sympathy but then brags about being moderately successful when she wants to be a rollmodel

Eirtakon is a decent convention but there was a few hiccups last year.

They did piss a few people off with the Doctor Who Special last year. I heard something about people who were at some panel all getting turned away and some people waiting at the door for ages to see the special got screwed over with not getting in due to the people in charge of it being unorganised.

I seen some couple shouting bloody murder over it and they left the convention in a horrid mood right after.

>>7868418

>>7868477
I don't know, Ireland isn't a big place and it certainly doesn't have the most mentally sound people but when you're 1)even more deranged than all of them and 2)the only person all the others have an issue with, then from that at least you can deduce that it's not us, it's you who's the black sheep around here.
Bet you would like that, all us raycis whiteys oppressing you and all.

>>7868479

Idek what the social justice term is for when you constantly moan about someone and bring them up in a negative context and then attack them for making threads "about them" when they dare air their grievances with the con scene in a relatively non-combative manner.

Other than "being a massive fucking douchebag."

>>7868477

I am consistently amazed by your lack of introspection.

>>7868488
Stop devaluing my opinions! You are oppressing me

>>7868485
>come into thread
>several transphobic/transmisogynistic remarks
>OMG IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU BEING TRANS

Seriously, naming a transwoman after a man, specifically with a large chin which is traditionally a feature a lot of transwomen feel shit about this, is transmisogynistic. Maybe this is too big a word for you to process, but you can't claim not to be when you keep fucking doing it. The only transwomen that will tell you otherwise are ones that are serious doormats trying too hard to fit in or that have a vendetta against me(which are usually the same group).

Either you get to call me Jay Leno or you get to make fun of the idea that I dare think anyone is transphobic(which btw I didn't even bring up this thread, you did).

>>7868486

Do you really think from an outsider perspective(and I mean outside of /cgl/) you guys look like the well adjusted, mature ones? I have news for you if you do.

>>7868488
>when they dare air their grievances with the con scene in a relatively non-combative manner.

You forgot the bit where you shoehorned in your trip, gender politics and 'activism' even though none of it was relevant. You weren't even mentioned in this thread beforehand and you posted with all of that stuff anyway. You're not fooling anyone you fucking eejit. Take the trip off or go away.

>>7868489

"I am constantly amazed by how you haven't internalised the self loathing that would be convenient for us to keep abusing you".

If any of ye were capable of looking at yourselves you wouldn't be posting this this.

Also watch as nobody calls out this:

>>7868495

You're about on the level of schoolyard bullies and really blatant seagull stereotypes.

There was literally nothing wrong with the post I made yet I'm being attacked with it. Talking about yourself isn't a cardinal sin even on 4chan, and I only talk about myself to try and reclaim myself from you idiots who constantly dehumanise me and use me as your SJW boogeyman.

>>7868498

>You forgot the bit where you shoehorned in your trip, gender politics and 'activism' even though none of it was relevant.

I engage in real activism, so drop the quotes. I'm not going to explain myself to you or what i get up to in real life, since I don't have to.

Queer issues and the like are extremely important to me and my experiences of things like conventions which ultimately celebrate a largely very heternormative medium. I am allowed to have these grievances. I am allowed to gripe that there isn't a place for me in a scene I wanted to belong to.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what I said. The fact that you hold up posts like that as justification for continued abuse even when I don't post in these threads(i.e. the last one just now) makes you look seriously fucked up and it's sad you and the rest of your circlejerk don't see that. But I'm going to keep driving the point home as long as needs be.

>>7868504
Doesn't work like that sweetheart. You made the claim that you take part in activism. If you can't prove it then we have every right to call it bullshit.

>>7868501

But seriously, you should take a break. 4chan isn't the place for you, I don't care what kind of excuse you pull for still coming on here, this site is not healthy. Hell, I've had to take a break at times because it was getting to me. You're obsessing over a fraction of a fraction of people who you honestly will probably never meet IRL. The best thing for you to do at the moment is to try to exercise some locus of control somewhere, and that place is not here.

TL;DR: take a break.

>>7868501
>Talking about yourself isn't a cardinal sin even on 4chan, and I only talk about myself to try and reclaim myself from you idiots who constantly dehumanise me and use me as your SJW boogeyman.

You weren't mentioned once in this thread before your post and you know full well what happens once you do. You're pissing in the wind personified. You drop in all the time to tell us how transmysoginistic we're being and how any functioning person who would look in on this from the outside wouldn't approve of our behaviour towards you.

That's nice? You can go now. Nobody cares. You're not going to change anybody's mind. You've been a lolcow on the internet for a decade and that's never going to change.

>>7868504
>I'm not going to explain myself to you
>unless I feel the need to draw attention to myself in a thread like this for no reason reason that to get attention, then it's alright

You're allowed to have all the grievances about how you're not accepted; nobody cares. It's not what this thread is about

>>7868505

No, they don't. And it's largely irrelevant to this argument. Whether or not I do does not justify using me as She who should Not be Named or generally hurling abuse at me anytime I speak out. That's wrong, full stop. If I exaggerate my own activist work, that ultimately isn't really hurting anyone.

This is sounding like a #gamergate argument now.

>>7868506

I rarely post here, and yes, this is victim blaming. Don't tell me to stop, tell the assholes who constantly sink to using transphobic humour while busting a nut laughing at the idea that they could possibly be transphobic.

I'm not damaged by my interactions here and I can hold my own. But what people are doing is still wrong and I'm not going to back down from that.

>>7868510
Stop changing the subject. Is there any tangible proof of you doing any activist work?

>If I exaggerate my own activist work,

This is sounding like back peddling now

>>7868510
>I rarely post here

>>7868509

>You weren't mentioned once in this thread before your post and you know full well what happens once you do.

appeal to consequences, victim blaming. and i was mentioned roughly 8 times in the last thread.

It's not on me how you react to my presence in these threads. I have no control over that, and it's not my obligation to censor myself because of my abusers.

> You drop in all the time to tell us how transmysoginistic we're being

You keep dropping the fact that I look like Jay Leno amongst other things.

>how any functioning person who would look in on this from the outside wouldn't approve of our behaviour towards you.

They wouldn't. If you disagree, make a better case for it, because right now you're not making a very good one.

>That's nice? You can go now. Nobody cares.

Not caring about me or the issues I care about is not an excuse to hurl abuse at me.

>You're not going to change anybody's mind.

There is more than just me and you in this argument. Myself and others often read these threads and laugh or facepalm at them. If my ultimate goal is to make you people look bad and prove my case that there are some morally compromised fucked up individuals in the con scene, then frankly I'm doing pretty well.

>You've been a lolcow on the internet for a decade and that's never going to change.

Again, victim blaming.

>You're allowed to have all the grievances about how you're not accepted; nobody cares. It's not what this thread is about

Again, not caring is not an excuse to attack. You are not compelled to respond and you're not fighting any greater battle by attempting to silence me. Well you are, but the battle against the general voices of marginalised people in geek culture. Which sort of makes you a piece of shit, not that you'd ever admit to what you're really doing.

>>7868518
>appeal to consequences, victim blaming. and i was mentioned roughly 8 times in the last thread.
>in the last thread
>IN THE LAST THREAD

Didn't read the rest. Go fuck yourself you attention seeking failure.

>>7868515

It's completely irrelevant. Out of interest, yes there is, but I'm not posting it in here. You are an abuser. I do not have to justify any part of myself to an abuser. It should not be me that's on trial here, and you seem to misunderstand that.

>>7868516

I'm here like a few days a month at most.

>>7868520

Even if I was attention seeking, the behaviour of you and others in this thread is vastly more objectionable. You have no leg to stand on. Look at your own shit instead of throwing it all on a boogeyman. That's what I've been saying from the start.

>>7868521
>There totally is proof but I wont post it right now.
Right so no proof, so I don't believe you


>You are an abuser
That's another harsh claim, got proof for that?

>>7868522
>I'M NOT ATTENTION SEEKING I'M JUST RESPONDING TO PEOPLE WHO MENTIONED ME
>but nobody mentioned you in this thread at all
>WELL EVEN IF I WAS ATTENTION SEEKING THAT'S NOT THE POINT

Go home Leno

>>7868522
Just name and shame and leave the convention scene.

Burn the bones so there's no going back.

>>7868523

You have no right to demand anything from me. You are standing with people hurling transmisogynistic abuse at me, attacking me for sharing my views as a queer geek, etc.

Bullying is about attacking from a position of relative power, and at the very least you are helping enable that. Demanding I justify myself in the face of abuse that is not justified regardless is in of itself abuse.

What you did just now, is abuse. It's fucked up to demand that someone prove their case or else they deserve to have their physical appearance attacked and be generally bullied into silence. I am refusing to share any prove of my activism with you out of principle since you're missing the point entirely. If you were not a complete asshole, I would be more willing to share it with you, but as is I'd likely just be opening myself up for more abuse.

>>7868528
>I don't have to back up or justify any of the bollocks I spew to anybody as long as people are being mean to me

Go home Leno

>>7868526

That's the thing, all the anons here are cowards. At least when I trip I can take responsibility for my words. That does not of course mean I deserve the abuse I'm getting.

>>7868525

It isn't the point. You are an abusive fuckwit. That's what's important here. And again, I am posting about myself, as I stated, because I wish to reclaim my identity from the boogeyman you have constructed. You do not have a right to use my name, identity or image to scare or goad people. It is dehumanising.

>>7868528
That is a load of bullshit.
Your feigning disgust to avoid admitting that you have zero proof.

>>7868531

That petname is transmisogynistic abuse. I have already explained exactly why. You cannot continue to mock me for imagined transphobia when you continue to use a name that misgenders me and mocks aspects appearance I have no control over due to the fact I am transgender.

As long as any of you focus on calling me out instead of flagging this - you are complicit too.

>>7868532
>maybe if I piss in the wind some more on 4chan people won't find me to be an insufferable joke of a human being

Go home Leno

>>7868533

I'm standing up for moral principles. I'm sorry if you can't relate, since you have none.

Also:

http://www.derailingfordummies.com/

Feel free to find all of your arguments listed here.

You are trying to bully/goad me into posting things which could potentially open both me and some of the vulnerable people I work with up to abuse. I'm not going to do that. Especially to someone who is cowardly and anonymous.

>>7868535
>insufferable joke of a human being

Projection.

I'm merely more visible, open and honest.

>>7868538
You're more visibly open and honest about being a failure of a human being. I thought it was gas when one of the nicer lads in /eire/ said he'd met you before years ago by complete chance without even knowing who you were beforehand and was still horrified.

Go home Leno

>>7868510

I was offering you advice, not ordering you to take a break. But hey, take it as you will. I'm sorry if I offended you, but at the same time, I'm not sure how much effect you're having on these people. That's why I told you what helped me.

>>7868536
>I'm standing up for moral principles
No, your not. Your piss poor attitude reflects poorly on the entire LGBTQ community.

The fact that you still claim to be an activist without proof is horribly disrespectful to real volunteers.

>>7868541

Do you have an actual real argument here or just more abuse?

>>7868542

I'm capable of making my own decisions and I've decided to do this. Please respect that. If you want to help, then help me call them out, because the victim blaming mentality is really toxic. Most of these people are cowardly and only act the way they do because there is nothing really telling them not to.

>>7868543

Again you are literally demanding I talk about my work with *vulnerable individuals* potentially opening them up to abuse, as well as myself.

You're just throwing out more insults without explanation. How do I reflect badly? How anything? Because I talk about myself in /cgl/ threads, in an effort to reclaim my identity from people dehumanising me?

Fuck off.

It's horribly disrespectful to demand someone provide proof of work they do which was only mentioned in an *off hand comment* and not meant big up their character in any meaningful way.

Again, you are an abuser. I am under no obligation to justify ANYTHING to you and insisting otherwise is that's horrible disrespectful.

>>7868544
I'm not trying to argue with you, nobody is. You already proved you're full of shit and it's common knowledge that you're a laughing stock; on /cgl/, in the con scene in Ireland, in the loli comms in Ireland and on the internet at large. You have your own Encyclopedia Dramatica article about you for Christ's sake. You were even banned from boards.ie for being just as much of an insufferable cunt there as you're being right now, and that's saying something.

Did I miss anything? I don't think so.

Go home Leno

>>7868544
I met you at two different conventions without any prior knowledge of who you were. You came over with a retarded grin to say hello. You are fucking scary looking.

I laughed in your face on both occasions. What did you expect to me to do when a crazy tranny was almost drooling on me.

>>7868477

Nope. It's you.

>>7868546
>My work with *vulnerable individuals*
Now your claiming that you work with people one to one like a counselor or something but in an earlier thread you claimed to be unemployed.

These aren't off hand comments, you are claiming a moral high ground and bragging about being an activist.

I am not demanding anything from you I'm just saying,I think your lying!

>>7868547
>I'm not trying to argue with you, nobody is

Then you're just hurling abuse. Stop it.

>You already proved you're full of shit

No I haven't. If i have, demonstrate how. I've pointed out time and time again how you're full of shit but you refuse to address any of it.

>it's common knowledge that you're a laughing stock; on /cgl/,

Amongst people who in some case literally cannot make a point against me without engaging in transmisogynistic abuse.

>You have your own Encyclopedia Dramatica article about you for Christ's sake.

So do a lot of people, more often than not people who are also trans, autistic etc. Nobody even cares about ED anymore outside of con scene drama circles. ED pretty much made themselves the internet Gestapo at one point, making anyone who stood out too much fear being cut down. The fact that you use it as a moral standard is extremely telling.

Also, the effective ringleader of the people who first wrote my ED article was convinced for violating a minor. So there's that too.

>You were even banned from boards.ie for being just as much of an insufferable cunt there as you're being right now, and that's saying something.

Half of ireland has been banned from boards.ie at some stage. I was also originally banned there for protesting their lack of inclusion of trans people in their "LGB" board. Oppressors tend to use other oppressors to back their shitty moral standards.

I'm gonna rape someone at NYCC. stupid bitches need to learn a lesson.

>>7868546

I am already respecting that. Giving advice is not impinging on any rights that you have posting here.

I would love to join you in the crusades against these people, but honestly, I want you to get real help first. And that is helped by not going to a site infamous for abuse and catty remarks.

But hey, I can only advise, not tell you what to do. It is your decision after all.

Shut the fuck up. Dumb bitch. You should get raped as well. What's your address.

>>7868559
You need to leave 4chan. It's not a place for your kind. We are not your people, you are alone.

>>7868551

Cool, using transmisogyny to back your point. Again.

I don't suffer the sort of shit you're describing so I'm going to go with the fact that you made this up or are equating "awkwardly stifling and saying nothing" with "laughing in your face".

>>7868553

I am being attacked basically for talking about myself and my concerns a bit. Meanwhile everyone is hurling abuse at me, often revolving around the fact that I'm trans, autistic or physically unattractive.

Please explain to me how it's me?

>>7868556

Let me make one thing clear - I don't need to claim to be an activist to be a better person than you. You are putrid human beings and none of you have the backbone to say any of this shit to me in person. Not everyone who's an activist is a good person and some people do it out of a hobby.

And again, I DON'T HAVE TO JUSTIFY ANYTHING TO YOU. If I want to make reference to activist work and not explain myself, I'm entitled to. I don't care if you think I'm lying. I think you're an abusive fuckwit with no common sense in this matter.

Your mom was alone last night.

>>7868559
>Amongst people who in some case literally cannot make a point against me without engaging in transmisogynistic abuse.

You heard it here first folks. It's impossible for anybody to dislike Leno for any other reason than the fact that he's a tranny.

You lead a fucking sad existence; your entire life revolves around being trans. Imagine you just stayed a lad, got a bit of gash when you were younger, grew up to be a functioning human being and called it a day.

There's still time, Leno. There's still time.

>>7868566
>transmisogyny

that's not a word.

Hey guys, can we go back to talking about shitty cons? Please?

>>7868566
I never said I was a good person, I just said you're a liar

>>7868568

You are denying it while literally misgendering me and mocking an aspect of my appearance that exists solely because I am this. This is transphobic. This is not hard.

>>7868569

Yes, it is, and not for you to decide it isn't. It's a combination of transphobia and misogyny, and I'm not going to write those words every time I want to communicate that. It's understand what I mean, so fuck off.

>>7868573

I have no reason to justify myself to someone who isn't a "good person" so please stop posting.

>>7868574

Effectively I'm denying these assholes the ability to do that as long as they keep obsessing over me. Though it's still their own fault.

>>7868574
Yeah I personally feel its time we started courting fully commercial cons from over seas. Dublin Con was a good start.

I could be massively bias though since I'm an old man who my work with *vulnerable individualsprefers big flashy shows to "intimate" hotel gatherings

A guy called Pachuka.

http://www.insidebayarea.com/sanmateocountytimes/ci_2493188

Of course, he was eventually welcomed back into the community and people were all "She probably made it up anyway". It was my first encounter with rape culture and it didn't fully register as the time as my thoughts were more 'Maybe but he's a dick anyways'.

I was literally emotionally abused online for years by a sociopathic rapist and it's kind of fucked up to think about it thanks for reminding me.

>>7868576
>You are denying it while literally misgendering me and mocking an aspect of my appearance that exists solely because I am this. This is transphobic. This is not hard.

>>7868589
>I don't vehemently dislike you because you're a tranny, it's just the easiest facet of your existence to make fun of.

That's still transphobic. You are still using hate directed at someone because they are trans to attack them. This makes you a terrible human being. This is not remotely difficult to understand. If you are not transphobic, the fact that they are trans should not come into it. Preying on dysphoria, something many of us kill ourselves over, is fucked up and abusive.

The fact that people are still calling me out and not this shit is fucked up and abusive.

>>7868592

No, the difference is you attack a vulnerable, mentally ill transwoman and side with people using transphobic abuse in an attempt to trigger her. You've listed absolutely nothing that would constitute the label of "terrible human being" with regards myself.

If I am bothering you I do not have to leave. If it's the only power i have over my abusers I shall continue to excercise it.

>>7868590
Nope you're just a bully

>>7868600
>her

Go home Leno

I just wanted to read a thread about nice cons, then I see this shit. ;~;

>>7868601

That's not what a bully is. I don't have a position of power here. I'm the underdog. There are people here intentionally trying to trigger dysphoria. There is no argument for me being the bully in this situation where several fucked up individuals are ganging up on me.

>>7868604
there are no nice cons

>>7868608
Speak for yourself, Why don't you start your own one?

LenoCon.

The main event can be your ~interpretive dance~

>>7868606
>I'm the underdog
No your not.
You are putting elevating yourself and using it to attack others. Then you have the cheek to use vulnerable individuals as a shield.

You are a bully and a liar

Hey Potsy, what makes you think that anyone here on cgl gives a shit about what you say?

This place is the armpit of the internet, we take potshots at everything and anyone that breathes, sleeps, dreams, does anything at all whatsoever. Expecting sympathy or a reasonable ear or back-up (aren't you old enough to fight your own battles without compelling people to defend your honour) here, are you serious?

The first mistake you made was coming on here like a freight train of self-importance with your myopic viewpoints and walls of text.

The second mistake you made was expecting any of us to give a flying fuck.

>>7868632
Based anon.

Now that the drama is over can we get back on topic. How would you all feel if the con scene in Ireland went more commercial? We seem to be flooded with small hotel cons but there's still a lack of international expos.

>>7868659
Was Dublin MCM any use? I completely forgot about it this year.

>>7868616

I can't "elevate myself" to the place where I can persecute others. That's really not how it works at all. If I seem like a bit of a hero it's because you're all acting like cartoon villains.

>>7868632

Not of that excuses people who have been continually abusive towards me in the con scene, on and off /cgl/, especially the transphobic remarks. Attacking me in the fact of those makes you complicit with them.

If you don't give a flying fuck, then don't respond. Clearly you're very passionate about the idea of being an abuser but don't like to be called on it either.

>>7868661
I don't know actually I wasn't in the country . I think its a good sign that a big cons are taking an interest but the feedback I get from MCMs in the UK is that they are just overblown weeb cons (which might actually suit our local community)

>>7868665
.>If I seem like a bit of a hero
Nothing about you is heroic don't worry

I'm off. Hope you all meet a painful end after eventually hurling oppressive shit at the wrong person~

>>7868669
Sayonara Leno-kun, we love you too :3

>>7868666
I was at MCM Glasgow and it wasn't really like an overblown weeb-con, more like just a giant trading hall with cosplay thrown in the middle. A lot of the guests (had some old lad from Game of Thrones charging something like £15 for an autograph?) were Western, as were a lot of the stuff on sale at the booths and a lot of the cosplays.

>>7868673
>just a giant trading hall with cosplay
That is actually pretty smart from a business stand point. I know a fair few people in the cosplay scene who only go for that.

Any good panels at all?

>>7868678
We sat in on some shite panel (which was only one lad) talking about some comic I'd never heard of called Edd's World or something.

Suffered through it to wait for D.C. Douglas and Courtenay Taylor to give a panel together which was pretty entertaining, except for the fact that every second question was to do with fucking Mass Effect.

>>7868684
Edd's World? That's not a comic book it's a cartoon series on youtube by Tomska, he's got about 3 million subscribers. Every seen the ASDF movies?

>>7868684
>Edd's World
Literally the only thing I know about that comic is that the Edd it's named after died and they just kept going because money

>>7868691
I haven't. I thought it was some comic that got turned into a web series later on, just goes to show you how much attention I was actually paying. The clips they showed at the panel I didn't like at all.
>>7868692
Something I vaguely heard about too

Anyone else enjoying Ayylien: Isolation?

What is a con? What is it for? What do you do? People actually pay for and enjoy these things?

What's with all the hate for Jay Leno? The dude has an awesome car collection? And what does that have to do with Potsy anyway?

All you scumbags are probably environmentalists or some dumb shit like that.

>>7868979

>>7871179
Ah now, there's no need for that.

Let's just sit back, relax and enjoy teh conventions.

Who else is heading into ClaneCon this year?

I hear they want "the Oxygen audience" now

>>7871335

there's no need for most of the shit I guess. I swear it's like the gamergate shit where you have neckbeards with their "legitimate concerns" turning a blind eye to or outright standing shoulder to shoulder with people harassing female devs on twitter.

>>7871589

Why would anyone want the Oxygen audience.

>>7868661
It was shit. Barely anything to buy in the trade hall and nothing to do. Wrestling matches seemed like they got the most attention. They had some TV guests doing q&a and charged signings, but that was it. Cosplayers had some problems too.

>tfw irish locals watching the line of nerds waiting to get inside the Hotel

Ded lads

>>7872565
From what I heard they actually blocked a lot of Irish sellers and artists from setting up shop there in favour of shipping in people from the UK.

>>7873960
Kinda makes sense really as MCM is a british con with deals and contracts with many of the UK sellers plus nobody wants to see a shop if it's easy to get to anytime. Still I remember one or two Irish sellers there.

>>7872565
Yeah gotta agree with you there. One of the sellers had a really sweet artbook selection and other nice things but aside from that it was very dull.

>>7875961
Michone is an african american character in the both the comics and in the tv show.


If someone wants to cosplay a character as accurately as possible they should be able to regardless of their race and/or skin colour, otherwise you are basically saying that white people cannot 100% accurately cosplay black characters and vice versa!


It's not racist to want your skin tone to match the colour of the character you are cosplaying! It's a bit excessive, but not racist!

>>7875983
You saw it here first people, Potsy making racist assumptions!

>>7875946
Seriously? How much is the ticket inside the con?
Looks like I'll be splashing out more than I thought that weekend.

>>7875987
>>7875983
>>7875989
>>7875993

this pretty much sums the problem. it was a reasonable mistake to make given how overwhelmingly white the thread was, and it becomes a racist assumption, when it's perfectly okay to post racist and even sexist shit in that thread.

this is why i despise #notyourshield, members of minorities who desperately want to fit in get used by neckbeards to attack their general cause. the same shit happens with trans people all the time since we're even more desperate to fit in.

blackface is still seriously fucking racist and I suppose I should be glad as an SJW that I can call you guys for being racist as well as transmisogynistic as fuck.

>>7875996

like i'm not entirely sure if this is trolling or if you are actually all so severely fucked in the head you think i'm a terrible human being when people who continually make transphobic/misogynistic remarks about my appearance are paragons of moral justice.

what is wrong with you?

>>7876003

also note I apologised for making that assumption, because I can own up to my mistakes. unlike everyone here.

>>7876005
At least i'm not a racist like you are.

>>7876003
GTFO you fucking racist bitch!

>>7876013

like who?

when you're being inundated with racist apologism it's not unexpected that I can't examine each and every person's profile, but from personal experience the majority of people who say this shit are white and 95% of the people commenting on that thread are white.

and I'd never claim not to be racist because I'm white and have internalised racist values as a result of living in a white supremacist society.

you guys are seriously defending blackface and calling me racist. what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>7876006
>apologised

how can you think that is an appropriate way to apologise to someone to whom you made a racist assumption!


And deleting the comment in which you made the assumption only makes you look worse!

>>7876005
Madam, I have never made a disparaging remark about your appearance.

There are far more terrible things in the world that a cosplayer in blackface and a few random trolls on 4chan. Never mind that the disparagement of blackface is an American cultural export more than anything. Those people have the most fucked up concept of race-relations imagineable. Only know they tie the same shite up in friendlier terms, even while locking innocent niggers up without trial for years on end. Or cops shooting niggers six times in the back for no good reason.

And I guarantee you, the fact that I used the word nigger will annoy people far more than the fact that these actual human injustices are allowed to happen by the same people who seem to get so deliberately appalled at the word Nigger.

It seems to me that, more and more these days, it's a race to the peak of offense, a deliberate effort to show how angry and offended we are and how we all feel really really bad about things - but without actually doing anything about it beyond mewling on the internet or harrassing the people who honestly don't give a fuck and would happily leave you alone if you did the same to them.

Furthermore, it doesn't solve the underlying injustices either. You don't ever ask why these things are happening. You never look at the underlying social causes. You look for the quick fix - the legislative patch that treats the symptoms rather than the disease. And so the sickness is left to fester and rot.

Kindly get over yourself. The world has bigger problems to solve than a cosplayer in blackface.

What a thrilling existence you lead Potsy, going out of your way to be offended by something for an evening over Facebook.

Teach me your ways.

Literally not dealing with this.

You're

1) defending blackface and people who make all kinds of stupid remarks about racism,
2) defending/apologising for transmisogyny, people insulting/attacking/mocking a transwoman for aspects of their appearance that exist because they are transgender, and misgendering them to boot.
3) seriously using the word n*gger and trying to make some dumbass point about it. oh my god. "doesn't the world have bigger problems", yes it has bigger problems than straight white guys fee fees. and racism is one of them.

>>7876047
Her life must be a constant state of anger and pain. She hates everyone and most of all her self. i actually feel sorry for her, she's not really meant for the world

The irony is for mocking my SJW ways, all of you represent an extreme stereotype in of yourselves and are too amazingly stupid to see that.

>>7876054
As opposed to figuratively dealing with it?

Fuck off back under your rock you fucking failure.

I guess for people with asparagus for brains that must be amazingly fucking refreshing but for me it's the same old turd it's always been.

>>7876059
>You are a massive stereotype yourself.

You keep saying this. Over and over. It doesn't need to be said again. However, you are the stereotype of the anti-SJW and succumb to just about every ignorant trait associated with the Fedora/Neckbeard.

Which is far worse.

And no, it doesn't work like that. The society we live in and definitely this shitty little scene always demands people like me look at themselves and their problems. No. Look at your own shit for once, because it actually hurts and effects and excludes others.

>>7876061
I don't know if it's accrued to you...but you do realize you are white right?

>>7876054

You still are not addressing the fact that you made a racist assumption about someone, gave the shittiest apology ever for it and then deleted the evidence!

>>7876063
Then why do you feel the need to call me a stereotype over and over again?

How come you tell people to look at themselves yet get so fucking offended when someone tells you to do the same?

The same rules apply to you. Don't tell someone to do something you refuse to do yourself.

>>7876061
You were thoroughly blown out by backtracking and making yourself look like a complete knob and being hammered into submission by everyone here laughing at you.

>>7876072

>>7876064

Yes, but I don't claim stupid shit like blackface isn't racist. I try to educate myself. Why is this so hard to understand?

If I wasn't calling this shit out you'd be accusing me of only being able to focus on my own issues. Can't win.


>>7876068

You are completely delusional. A greasy Fedora type or Fedora sympathiser spouting the same shit they always do is not a blow out.

If it's an argument that appears here

http://www.derailingfordummies.com/

(which it does)

it's not a blow out and we've heard it 10,000 times before.

>>7876061
I never mentioned anything about starving children in Africa. What I referred to was a well know case where a man was imprisoned without trial for 3 years for a crime he did not commit, simply because someone pointed him out and he happened to be black. Or another case, where a cosplayer was shot six times in the back because he happened to be black and carrying a replica sword. Or a man shot for carrying an air-rifle in a shop, namely ones sold in the shop that he intended to purchase.... or should I go on?

That is institutional, cultural racism. Or howabout the motherfucking Ku Klux Klan?
Getting annoyed over blackface doesn't solve this. It just makes you feel better, like you're actually doing something when in reality you're doing fuckall.
It doesn't do anything to break down barriers. It doesn't do anything to change people's attitudes. It doesn't stop people from seeing black individuals as 'different' it just changes how 'different' they see them.

>>7876076

YOU'RE NOT. EDUCATING. YOURSELF. FUCK.

BLACK FACE IS WHAT THEY DID BACK IN THE 1800S IN AMERICA TO MAKE FUN OF BLACKS AT MINSTREL SHOWS.

DOING DARKER MAKEUP IS NOT BLACKFACE. UNLESS YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY DOING BLACKFACE TO MAKE A RACIST PARODY OF BLACK PEOPLE IT ISN'T FUCKING BLACKFACE.

>anybody who disagrees me is just a nasty troll who probably secretly hates me for being trans!

The one and only lad liking any of your posts is just as delusional as you are you failure.

Two cents on non-black people wearing brown paint for costumes:

It's not really the same as greying up for Homestuck, going red for Hellboy, or blue-ing yourself for Nightcrawler cosplays. There's a lot of social contention regarding race. There's a chance you could offend an actual human being. Why take the risk?
There are millions of white or white-looking characters to dress as. But even if you have your heart set on being your favourite character of colour, you don't need to paint yourself brown. Wear fake tan if you feel pastry, but if you can't communicate who you're supposed to be through clothes and styling, reconsider.

You don't see black people painting themselves beige to be white characters, so it's possible.

Sorry for the rant.

>>7876140
I have actually seen someone do that at an MCM...

>>7876140
>There's a chance you could offend an actual human being. Why take the risk?

Cry me a fucking river.

>don't do something you want to do with zero racist intentions because you might offend somebody somewhere!

If a black person wanted to paint themselves beige I wouldn't give a toss. It's been said already in this thread: trying to make your skin black for your cosplay of choice =/= blackface, i.e. a racist caricature from the 1800s.

>>7876143
Okay well the argument could be made that it's not as bad in reverse because white people have a better social standing overall and have been fairly immune to offensive parody in the media for a couple of hundred years. But wow, did it work?

>>7876151
Okay well you clearly have no problem embarrassing yourself. Good for you, friend.

>>7876155
Embarrassing myself doing what? I have no intention of cosplaying a black character with paint all over myself but I really don't care if somebody else wants to do it, nor am I going to work myself up into a politically correct hissy-fit and berate others who do because they could potentially offend somebody.

If you want to side with that gobshite Potsy, work away. As has already been said in the thread by somebody else, there are much more pressing, real issues that actually affect other peoples' lives greatly when it comes to racism, like those black lads in the US who were already mentioned being gunned down or incarcerated for absolutely nothing. Spending your evening whinging and making stupid assumptions about people either on here or Facebook isn't going to change shit.

>>7876151
>you could offend a person
>they could get in your face about it

I'd avoid that whenever I could. Not everyone is passive enough to hold in their offence until they get home to their internet.

>>7876091

absolutely nothing i said there is remotely untrue.

I posted a story in this thread which I doubt will get screencapped, but there is a lot of fucked up shit with regards how black girls feel about their skin colour, which makes the whole whiting up thing kind of an uncomfortable idea. It's potentially racist too, but for the opposite reason that you're thinking.

>>7876165

It's funny because people like you are the first to complain about "free speech" yet you use obvious goading tactics - "political correctness" like SJW is often used as a buzzphrase for shutting down arguments, along with over-sensitive, before they can even happen. And you're shaming them for "siding" with me when we're both right.

So thinking blackface is wrong makes you a terrible person, because I also think that, and I am apparently a terrible person even though I'm one of the few people here who makes an effort not to be an offensive piece of shit, and can acknowledge I fuck that up sometimes.

>>7876168
>I'd avoid that whenever I could. Not everyone is passive enough to hold in their offence until they get home to their internet.

Good for you? I'm sure there are plenty of people who can hold their own in real life if it comes to some eejit 'getting in your face' over something as fucking stupid and utterly irrelevant as this issue.

>>7876165
You seem upset.
And painting your skin brown reduces your character to their race, which could be called dehumanizing if you want to put it that way.

Dehumanization plays a key part in events such as the shootings you described. You can't really argue that because Racist Act A isn't as immediately destructive as Racist Act B, it's suddenly absolved of being racist at all.
And maybe actual black people care, maybe they don't. But it still doesn't entitle white people to wear the skin colour that causes them bother on the day-to-day as a costume. Not cool.

>>7876178
Just because I can hold my own doesn't mean I have time to invite fights. What are you actually like.

>>7876183
>And painting your skin brown reduces your character to their race, which could be called dehumanizing if you want to put it that way.

The only people who would feel it'd reduce a character only to their race are the people getting worked up to hell and back over this issue. I think it's fucking gas that the only people commenting on that story on Facebook going out of their way to be offended by that cosplay are two white people.

>Dehumanization plays a key part in events such as the shootings you described. You can't really argue that because Racist Act A isn't as immediately destructive as Racist Act B, it's suddenly absolved of being racist at all.

That's assuming I think that cosplay is racist, which I don't think it is at all.

>And maybe actual black people care, maybe they don't. But it still doesn't entitle white people to wear the skin colour that causes them bother on the day-to-day as a costume. Not cool.

Why don't we ban cosplayers from bring prop weapons with them as part of their costumes because we might trigger somebody at the con who was the victim of an armed mugging or robbery or who knows somebody who was murdered with a weapon while we're at it so as not to offend them while we're at it?

You're also assuming that every black person who ever lived automatically undergoes 'bother' every day just because they're black.

>>7876197
>Just because I can hold my own doesn't mean I have time to invite fights.

Then don't do it? Nobody's even referring you personally you spanner, I didn't tell you to go and do it.

>>7876202
You're arguing against any assumptions I've made with stupider ones.
Go fight with Potsy, ye're made for one another.

>>7876215
Thanks for your valuable input. I'm sure the black cosplaying community are forever in your debt with you there to defend them from being potentially offended, whitey!

Most modern feminists just love any excuse to dish out a bit of shame.

Here's a good laugh for the day. That Geek Eire dude said in his podcast that he's hotter and fitter than the people who think his podcast is shit. I found a picture of him.

Has darling Potsy been banned? I'd have expected her back in by now.

>>7876434
He got the shit kicked out of him a few years ago while he was in college. His face got pretty messed up by it.

>>7877961
I guess that also explains why he's such a retard. I bet there was a line to kick the shit out of him

>>7877990

True, You should never wish it on someone but that doesn't mean you can't find it hard to give sympathy to someone who has it done to them.

Anyone go to Night Vale last night? She was there, started shouting down to Mary Epworth when she was tuning her guitar. Not even just funny heckling, like she tried to initiate a conversation with her from the audience. She laughed it off alright though, but jesus christ, can she go anywhere without being the centre of attention?

>>7882852
>can she go anywhere without being the centre of attention?

Not possible. Even during those laughable 'discussions' on Facebook over that cosplayer with the black facepaint, she had to interject with points about how she's a tranny even though it's entirely irrelevant.

Really hope it's a permaban

Oh I heard she tried to have the fucking chats with the performers. I just thought she tried to imitate a regular sensible person and like, went to buy them a drink after the show or something.

Good god that's the tackiest stunt I've heard of in a long while.

I'm pretty sure these ads comes from the free webhost that they're on. But it's still just a little bit pathetic, isn't it?

Compared to the cost of running a con, a few quid for webhosting without ads wouldn't break the bank, would it?

I

>>7884641
arse

>>7884641
You are underestimating how truly stupid and cheap they are.

>>7884641

> I'm pretty sure these ads comes from the free webhost that they're on.

Yup, AdBlock says so (see img)

>Compared to the cost of running a con, a few quid for webhosting without ads wouldn't break the bank, would it?

Considering you can get a year of semi-decent webhosting for about €60, and if you're really stingy, you could probably get it for far cheaper.

In all seriousness though, a website with even a teeny sense of professionalism is something that shouldn't be skimped on.

>>7884692
I suppose it's proof of them focusing on the content of the con itself, but at the same time it's a bloody cheap thing to do.

.

>>7884692
>>7884726
I think we're looking at it wrong. It's not a "real" Con, it only exists to stroke the organizers ego so it doesn't matter that the site scares off customers, what matters is it has a site just like the real ones do

>>7884656
I had adblock on so never even knew. that's pretty cheap but I imagine they gotta save every cent where possible. Also where is the con happening? Is it in the red cow or the NCI? Website says NCI but I thought I saw somewhere that it was in the red cow?

>>7885144
At this stage is there anyone even left who's bothering to go for it to matter where it's held?

Heck, they should probably just bypass the inevitable and hold it in a morgue.

>>7885164
They really need to put it to rest. I get the feeling it will be a one shot con like aka con. Aka was made out of spite and over inflated egos. Otakucons going to go the same way. Its so obvious it's being run horribly and they don't have a clue what they are doing. The guy never even worked for a convention before starting his own one.

>>7885890
At otakucon doesn't have crappy moe artwork I miss Anne Marie's work with Akumakon . The new artwork looks like it someone shit in a bucket .

>>7885890
>made out of spite and over inflated egos
Isn't that how most Irish anime cons after Eirta happened?

>>7886251
Most of the ones in Dublin, yes.

>>7886286
This country runs on spite and ego.

I reckon they just ask their guests to come and when they said sure we'd love to attend, they left it at that assuming they'll fly over for free and turn up at their con.

>>7885973
I've seen a whole lot worse. I actually like thier new work, its different from the same usual shit.

>>7885973
You are either blind or a vendetta chan. GTFO

>>7885973
Please learn to type before you shitpost vendetta chan.

>>7886683
Oh dear god i can see it now. Those poor guests.

>>7886683
>>7886745
>>7885164
>>7885890
I think they're actually emulating dash-con, I bet their game plan is to pay for losses with last minute donations like they did

>>7886745
I can picture Otakucon forgetting to tell the guests about the venue change.

>>7886801
I can see them trying to charge them an entrance fee

I love how they're getting an "Irish/American Voice". I think that means the guest will give a skype call to the con

>>7886770
Either that, or it's Springtime for Hitler. It's planned to fail.

Also. I just found out a friend of mine has a nasty form of cancer and the worry's driving me fucking spare but I don't want to offload it on anyone I know, or on anyone who'll probably give a fuck, because that'd just be plain rude. I just had to say it *somewhere*,

>>7887430
Sucks balls anon. I know plenty of people who've survived it though so don't give up. I imagine your friend's shitting it too so try to stay strong for them

>>7885973
Kek! Missing the exact same art copy-pasted over different animals each year. Anne Marie was clearly a one-trick pony. The new art's not as impressive but fuck at least it's different. I might actually be able to tell my con badges apart now

>>7888116
I always found their old mascot really manly, I like their new one because its quite womanly. It may not be as impressive as you said but its a whole lot better than some art out there. Anyone remember GAScons mascot?

>>7885973
How has the Akumakon art anything to do with the comment you replied to? I smell a vendetta. The art is decent considering its a first timer. The body is a bit off but rest is pretty good. He/she grasped the concept of blending unlike the Otaku con art. I don't get whats with the scrolls though but maybe thats just me.

I don't really like the akumakon artwork myself, there's been better, but still appreciate that effort went into it and alright for an amateur. Convention artwork rarely is very good so always really nice when someone really talented does the work and we get something professional looking.

>>7888143
Does anyone out there even remember Gas con?

>>7888107
Ta'

Anyway. Back to the show

>>7888203
You should see what Eirtakon's mascot started out like.

Amateur is not a bad thing. Problem with professional graphic design is that it's not cheap. So that mean.s either having a 'friend' who'll do it for free - or trying to DIY.

I've always like Nom-con's graphics for some odd reason. Even though they change every year the themes stay reasonably consistent.

Eirtakon's the only con that actually has a proper brand, though. That green Lori-head thing is pretty distinctive wherever you see it. It stands out a lot. Stick a green Lori-head on a thread in here and everyone knows instantly what it means.

Kaizoku might be able to do it if they keep the Pirate theme in some way....

Everyone else is too focused on snazy artwork.

>>7888235
>You should see what Eirtakon's mascot started out like.

Someone call for the Eirtaku sheep?

It's the girls first year doing the art, everyone has to start somewhere. I'd say cut some slack tbh.

>>7888286
This made my day. Thank you anon

>>7888863
bump

Why do you guys go to cons? None of you seem to like any of them very much.

>>7890688
I like to buy stuff and talk to artists, cosplay and panels are an after thought

>>7890688
My list needs names.

>>7890688
I have needs.

>>7890688
I like them. But I rarely do much more than lurk in here as it too often turns into a complete shitfest so I don't know if I'm the kind of person you're looking for replies from

>>7890688
To find people with the same weaboo interests, which doesn't really happen.

>>7892366
Cons are pretty fun, anon! there really isn't nearly as many crazy people as cgl would have you think, and you might meet new people and broaden your interests while your at it

>>7893740
Its just the crazy ones show up here

>>7894908
>tfw no batshit insane conslut gf

Your daily dose of side splitting cringe fest. Geek eire did an interview with that cosplay chick whos scamming people to get a set of new boobs. Its so damn awkward its hillarious! Someone on the thread i found this asked was the guy disabled. Almost felt like agreeing with them. I don't know who to feel worse for, him for looking like such a joke or her for gtting interviewed by someone as creepy >>7893626

>>7894937
That's fucking desperate.

I can't bring myself to listen to the whole thing. Do you have a summary or a rundown of what they actually discussed?

>>7894937
This has to be a troll right? He can't honestly think this is good. I've taken shits with more interviewing skills.

So who's actually going to Eirtakon this year?

Who're you going with? What do you want to see? Are you cosplaying?

>>7895069
I'm going to cosplay Geek Eire by putting on a crash helmet and dribbling.

>>7895080
Don't forget one of the three-wheeled spacker bikes

Anyone else watching this? http://www.rte.ie/tv/programmes/fullfrontal.html
Never thought I'd see the day when Venus Angelic turned up on RTE

>>7895620
Jaysus the cats outta the bag. My gran will be asking me am i a living doll now when i'm in Loli. Fuck.

>>7895646
Jesus welp. I was asked if I was wearing 'living doll' fashion yesterday a few times as it was, and I wasn't even wearing Lolita. bleck.
>>7895069
I'm heading to Eirta and doing a frilly dress panel/talk/thing. Hoping to expand it a bit more and cover stuff I didn't get to at the last con.

>>7896544
*wept

>>7896544
Who are you? What panel is it?

>>7896556
I'm a mad divil, and it's a Lolita Fashion panel. I did one at Arcade and it went rather well, people seemed to enjoy it and found it helpful. Since I ended up with a full room at Arcade (which I didn't expect at all!), I thought I'd do another, improved one, since there's plenty interest.

>>7896564
You're probably one of the same people I spoke to before in the thread about a mutual loli friend we have in common, hahaha.

Sounds good though, fair fucks. I can't actually wear loli but it'd be nice to sit in on the panel since I enjoy the fashion.

>>7896567
Sher do come along if you're around! I'm not entirely sure if I'll be on the Saturday or the Sunday just yet, hoping to find out soon enough.

>>7896569
I will. It'd be something to do, I usually find myself wandering around the con more often than not anyway.

>yfw you realise Akane probably used Minimaru as a dildo every night

>>7896564
Aahhh i know who you are! Good luck, wish i could go, your panel at arcade was really good!

>>7896564
A quick Google search confirms your identity. You're a qt :3

>>7895069
I'm going in cosplay, with some normal non-cosplay friends. We'll probably split up as usual.

>>7896637
>>7896611
Aw shucks, you guys. <3

>>7898428
I'll definitely be at your panel :3

well this thread is dead.....

>>7900899

Let's talk about something else.

Drinking at Cons.

Who does it?
What do ye drink?

I sure as hell wouldn't want to deal with you lot sober.

>>7902638
Went to the pub at Croker last year and the prices were extortionate, had a pint and then fucked off after the day was through. I'm probably gonna bring vodka with me next month to Eirta for the craic. Could do with some drinking buddies, the mate I'm going with flat out refuses to drink to the point of even his family taking the piss out of him for it.

>>7902645
They had a whiskey tasting last year. Wonder if they'll bring it back.

I'll be bringing a naggin of the best under me jacket anyway.

>>7902678
I'd give it a go this year if it was on again.

Sounds good.

>>7902693
Was Japanese whiskies. Run by the Celtic Whisky Shop. Great bunch of people too....

>>7902638
I know its gay as hell but I like to theme my drinks to my costume,
Captain America? Budweiser. Skyrim? Mead (bought it off amazon its like sugary bitter). Mass effect? WKD.

>>7902710
>Mass Effect
>WKD

A bitch drink would be appropriate, yes.

>>7902712
Only if someone was going as Marsellus Wallace.

After a full weekend at a con, you really would need a drink! Stress of getting your cosplay done, talking to people you may or may not like, Dealing with extreme autism. Alcohol is the only way to sleep at night.

>>7902960
I never have a good sleep after a night of being locked, I always wake up too fucking early.

>>7902960
I imagine a con would be fun on MDMA but then I suppose you'd just be as irritating as a hyper weeb

>>7903126
>MDMA

Never again

SO Eirtacon just announced this. Oh my god, the cringe...

http://www.eirtakon.com/news/599-venusangelic-to-excite-her-fangelics-at-eirtakon

>>7904847
Well shit son, diabolik minds plot alike. So, who from /cgl/ is going to call her penus first? Will she be wearing bodyline?

I wish i could go. She's so creepy, but i kind of wish i could see her blink...just once. to see if she can.

>>7903126

I took MDMA at a con once and the only people who would put up with me were Homestucks. Take at your own risk.

>>7904847
Her terrifyingly overbearing mother will probably be there.
>>7896564
She could learn a thing or two from your panel

>>7905293
I was about to say both of those things.
StepbrothersBestFriends.gif

>>7904847
Can barely wait

I heard she is going to be doing a Cyberbullying panel at the convention with her mother. Of course not to stop it, How to go about it.

Shit's going down already, apparently. This was posted to the Eirta group

>>7905655
I don't have jewbook, please elaborate
Who's been threatening what?

Wow such threat.

>>7905663

Lol if this is bullying I then saying that someone threatened me with a knife is attempted murder.

The respect for Eirta steadily goes down.

>>7905667

>Lol if this is bullying then saying that someone threatened me with a knife is attempted murder.

I guess it's time for bed.

>>7905660
I think that's what they're going off of.

Over >9000 years spent in paint

>>7905676
Alright yeah she's... Clearly not well
I get that people dislike penus but jaysus that's a tad much don't you think

>>7905676
Jaysus, I've never seen a minor guest announcement get that kind of reaction before. Hafta admit I've never heard of the girl

>>7905698
Just mentioning that you find her cute on /cgl/ will produce a flurry of autismal rage
I just don't understand

>>7905676
Are they 12?

>>7905676
Fairly dumb to post this on Facebook.
The convention can just go through preregistration records and ban them all.

And of course it's totally out of order too.

Top meme Lel

>>7905706
I don't know how anyone could find something so uncanny valley cute. But I still don't think people should behave so stupidly about it. Just ignore her and her odd fans.

>>7905774
I find her cute
I just feel like it's fairly annoying to have to make excuses as to why I do, you can find others cute while acknowledging their shite personality and all that

>>7905655
>We are Eirtakon
>we at the convention

I think it both instances the a-word he was looking for was "AT".

>>7906426
Second greentext should have contained "as", I fucked up.

>>7905676
Steady on there, Abigail, lest you cut yourself off all those fucking edges...

>I'd do so much physical harm over a mild annoyance that I chose to expose myself to!
Cool. Take video footage.

Lolita panel person, you're going to have your hands full.

>>7906627
God help you missus!

>>7906627
I think a full PowerPoint slide saying "GRETCHEN. STOP TRYING TO MAKE WA-LOLI HAPPEN. IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN." should suffice.

A 3-week thread. That's got to be a record

>>7907599
A 3-week thread with no sign of It, at that!

>>7907661
They showed up and got deleted and, from the looks of it, banned.

>>7908389
Thank Christ. Let's enjoy it while we can.

Average ban is 30 days, let us enjoy this peace until after Eirtakon.

>>7908406
If the ban was issued on the 14th or 15th after she was blown out, then she'll show up before the con.

>>7908428
Prayer circle in the hopes that the janitors issue a permaban.

Sooo back on some semblance of a track, then. Does anyone reuse cosplays they've already worn for Halloween?

>>7908449
I probably wouldn't bother using cosplay for Halloween since nobody I know IRL or people at a party would have a clue who I was going as, bar one or two mates.

>>7905676

What sort of idiot posts death threats with their real name?

>>7908628
Abigail Hobbs does, apparently.

Does anyone else find it top kek that she actually looks a lot like the eejit she's slagging off?

Simply ebin

>>7909231
Aside from the fact that I've never heard of this yoke, I am so fucking sick of cosplay guests, they're absolutely pointless unless they're doing a panel on how not to be shit at cosplay or something.

>>7909240
Nevermind trying to get Troy Baker back, more 'professional' cosplayers and Youtube personalities!

>>7909241
Fucksake, like. I just don't get the appeal at all. Also I just went to her Facebook page to check her out and the first thing I saw was Steampunk Supergirl. No fucking thank you.

>>7908449
>>7908428
>>7908406

When you post things like this not only is it incredibly bitchy and immature it makes it so I can't really come into the thread and post normally(When I do actually try to do that fairly often). The janitors aren't really helping the situation if they're gong to encourage this attitude.

Really in these communities everyone has an obligation to be inclusive and you can't shift all your responsibility onto one person who already gets the short end of the stick(and thus isn't in much of a position to contest what you're doing to them).

I'm not even just talking about me, but con scenes seem to do that a fuckload.

>>7905676

Jesus christ. This sort of shit is why I don't feel safe/comfortable at cons anymore.

>>7909240

Yeah it's easy to get burned out on guests. I'm not really into having role models for cosplay, it's just a fun thing to do for me that I can't really afford anymore, and I don't play that many vidya or watch dubs so very few voice actors excite me.

I'd probably be more interested in general sci-fi/fantasy related guests, like from western TV shows. Maybe I should start going to comic cons instead. My interests are so split lately I'm not sure what I should be even going to.

>>7909249
Fuck off with your trip you cunt. Here to shit up the thread yet again.

>>7909249
I have never once seen you comment on a thread that didn't spiral into you ranting about something.

Oh fuck this good earth. We were having a perfectly pleasant thread.

>>7909261

This could be why:

>>7909255

This tends to happen pretty much any time. Cut out the dumbass meta-commentary and we'll be fine. I'm going to try to ignore it.

>>7909265
Well, from past experience, people don't tend to react well to people who have time and time again proven to shitpost. Sorry potsy, but past history really doesn't lend itself well to welcoming you with open arms.

>>7909249
>it makes it so I can't really come into the thread and post normally

If only we were so lucky.

Why don't you take the hint for once and stop posting somewhere you're clearly not wanted? A place you clearly don't like and where you only serve to cause disruption once you start on your inane ramblings with your attention seeking tripcode.
>>7909265
You've already shown yourself to be a complete and utter fool and clearly got yourself banned but you still persist. You're an episode of Jeremy Kyle personified; whenever I'm feeling down about something, I know there's some fucking shitstain like you who's ten times worse to make me feel better about myself

>>7909265
>>7909255
Why are you so racist?

>>7909272
Privilege.

>>7908635
I was just about to post this after looking at Abigail's facebook. I don't even.

>>7908635
>>7909283

>>7909283
But do you Odd?

>>7909267
>>7909270
>>7909272

It's really up to you whether to post this bollocks. I'm perfectly willing to take part and post normally which is a lot after how I've been treated here. There's no loss in irony in #gamergate related stuff being posted to catch me out when the "it's not because you're trans" attitude is a lot like the issues GG has.

Just knock it off, take some responsibility for your own shitposting for once and we'll be grand.

>>7909294
>I'm perfectly willing to take part and post normally which is a lot after how I've been treated here.

Aww congrats hun! :) Here's a medal!

Should you not be working on passing for a woman for Halloween tomorrow?

>>7909294
The only person shitposting here is you Potsy. We are not your councilor, we don't have to listen to you.

>>7909286
Sometimes.

>>7909295

>Should you not be working on passing for a woman for Halloween tomorrow?

Holy shit wow. Can someone post the "Do you ever think maybe it's you not everyone else" shite again just to highlight what a stupid ass line of thought that is?

I'm off to do something productive until you grow up and stop effectively trying to bully someone out of a thread.

You'll be waiting a long time potsy. People don't like you and i doubt that's going to change soon.

I've been wanting to try the Evolve alpha all day but the servers aren't working and nobody can find a game on PC. Might just play something spooky instead.

Sup guys I am going to eirtakon and I am wondering are you guys having a meetup?

>>7910701
As in a seagull meetup?

Nothing's arranged but I wouldn't be opposed to the idea

>>7911366
I meant are you into videogames, anime, cosplay, etc

>cuckoldry

Dropped

>>7910414
It's nice that she's gone, and fair play to the janitor... But we should have some kind of neutral, unified response to Posty in general.
It shouldn't attack her looks or the fact she's trans, because that just fuels her fire.
Maybe just stonewalling? Because she's a notorious shitposter AND completely unwelcome due to her personality.

Just block her and blank her.

>inb4 ">her", ">she", etc.
We really need to show we're not fussed by her gender, just her carry-on.

>>7911432
People on /v/ always stonewalled a notorious retard tripfag by responding with 'Fuck off, retard' no matter what the tripfag posted and it worked. Pot Noodle's a fucking eejit and should be treated as such.

>>7911432
Well she cant resist using a tripcode, you can just auto hide those

>>7911432

You're completely right. Her gender is not the issue - it's the fact that she's so toxic to everyone including herself that the thread just withers into horseshit under her sight. It's ridiculous.

However, at the same time, for every five people who will just tell her to shut up, there will be that one fucker who gives fuel to her incoherent rants. The only way I can see to combat this is to tell that person to shut the fuck up, but then tell her that she's a shitposter too and she should shut up as well. But that isn't very effective either, and every time I've told her to 'take a break' and seriously get some fresh air (advice that I myself have taken on this board), she completely goes off on me and how I'm not doing my duty to defend her sensitive soul against the evil shitposters.

In any case, I think that the best way to deal with her would be a permaban.

>>7911451
Would be all for a permaban too, the only way to silence it.

>>7911435
Yeah I was thinking a repeat response of something completely neutral like "Boooo!" would work though, because if we use the word "retard" we'd be treated to an ableism rant.

"Boo, you whore" would get us the sexism/"I'm friends with a whore, whorephobic!" monologue, simply saying "fuck off!" is met with the "how precious/no u" response.

She's said herself she posts without trips sometimes too, so even blocking her won't guarantee results.

I don't even know why she keeps coming back here. She always says stuff like "blah blah alternative culture, relevant to my interests, thought I'd feel welcomed because despite living on the internet I'm unfamiliar with the Five Geek Social Fallacies, it's your fault you don't like me..."
It's impossible to drive home the fact that she's just NOT welcome. I mean we've hardly been subtle about it.

And not interacting with people who hate her won't diminish her enjoyment of geeky things. They're traditionally solitary hobbies.
Good god, Autism. How does it work?

>>7911451
There're times when I've wondered if she isn't really just a troll who actually hates trans people and so starts acting like the most malignant stereotype of one.
