>Will panel acceptances ever come out?

Probably the fuck not. I can't believe the horseshit I'm reading that they're nowhere near done. They're 'hoping' to be done by October 10th. It's bad enough to release a schedule that late let alone give the panelists three weeks notification. Was there a change in panel staff or are they always this bad?

>>9646878
I don't know if there was much change in staff, but this isn't new for Youma. We're lucky if the schedule comes out a week before the con, and spoiled if it's printed on something nicer than newspaper.
I really feel for people who submitted panels though. To either have such a short time to write a whole panel, or be working all this time on it only to find out you were rejected.

When are signups for cosplay meetups going to be released? Youma is only a month away

I left the FB group for a while and I forgot how much I hated seeing Connor post

I'm doing a Sailor Mercury cosplay for a group, and we're entering the masquerade for it, so that's my big cosplay/event for the weekend! Other than that, I'm looking forward to the game room, the maid cafe, and any idol/dance events happening over the weekend. I'm equal parts excited and nervous!

>>9646856
>>Can we avoid arguing about Nazis in this thread?

Can we avoid being a Nazi apologist and supporting Nazis in this thread? Because you still shouldn’t support things that are okay with actual Nazis.

I'm doing a lot of Kamen Rider, some Fate, and some Granblue for the weekend. Honestly, I hope the line is short this year so I can just grab my badge and go dick around dealers room.

>>9649557
Just stop, save your bitching for the other Youmacon thread, Jesus

Haven't even started on my cosplay lol

>>9646888
It's honestly a youmacon thing. Even extremely large cons can shit out a schedule a month in advance.

I'll be going this year, pretty excited to go again since youmacon was my first con experience. Going as a team skull grunt with a friend.

>>9649765
>disgusted and terrified by the normalization of national fascism, which grows in communities like 4chan
>'bitching'
Nah

>>9650331
Look we want to talk about panels, and events, and cosplay, and our plans for this convention. You've tried to derail every single thread about Michigan conventions recently with this shit. And as I've said to you, several times before, you have no room to be talking when you don't even have proof. I don't like Nazis either but this thread is about our plans for the convention, not the people running it. Please keep your Nazi stuff in >>9636187 this thread and let us stay on topic here.

>>9650246
Sounds dope

Still trying to find a group or people to meet up with, I've got one buddy I'm going with but want to meet up with others.

The Youmacon forum is pretty dead though, and the Discord isn't much better.

Anyone into meeting up?

>>9649557
Please for the love of fuck, give me evidence that there are Nazis at Youma.
Hell, keep this shit up I'll roleplay as one just to spite you.

>>9651301
I'd be up for it. Are you going to cosplay as anyone? Drop an email.

>>9649574
What is the thing on the right supposed to be?

>>9649574
Which Granblue character are you doing? Do you have pics of your costume?

>>9651391
Not this year but I'm looking forward to seeing some cool ones. Also looking forward to the artist's alley and gaming stuff, per usual

Shoot me an email if you wanna meet up

>>9646856
I know they have the fall out from MMX, but jesus a lot of these guests are just strange. Not really sure what half of them have to do with animu

Did they ever get that DJ snafu figured out?

I've never competed in the cosplay contest in the 7 years I've been going but I wanted to give it a shot this year.
None of the organizers or facebook page admin has any info on how or when to apply to compete.
Anyone competed before who can tell me how these usually run, and what day/time/location I need to go to apply to compete? Does it cost money?
I'm completely new to the process and I only ask here because literally noone else who actually runs the con can answer my question.

I was gonna room with some friends this year, but they've all either flaked on me, or haven't given me any feedback so I haven't even booked anything yet. Haven't started on my cosplay either.

>>9653045
How far are you from detroit?
You can honestly get a hotel for under 100$ outside of the main city if you dobt mind the extra half our drive every time you wanna go back to your room.

>>9653053
I'm out in AA, so it's about a 40 minute drive anyway.

>>9653440
Eh, I'll be driving in and out of Ypsi each day, it isn't too bad of a drive.

Posting here in case anyone is interested. I run the tournaments, I made a trailer and I have a basic schedule for Saturday's tournaments. I'm making a Smash.gg page with more detail and pre-reg function, should be up later this week.

>Why are you posting here
Because the website will never have a working gaming page lol

>>9653786
I'm glad the game room people at least seem to be on top of their shit this year, seeing as the list of games seemed to be the first thing announced last month or so. Last year got kind of annoying during the tournaments.

Who the fuck are all these nobodies?
I don't think there are ANY big name guests this year.
Is this the end of Youma? Are they seriously this fucking broke and out of touch?
And why the fuck do they keep bringing this goon. The last time he was relevant was petering out back in 2006?

>>9653911
Okay so last year was an issue. I believe the budget was cut midway through the planning phase or something and so the low priority stuff (tournaments) was scrapped. I stepped in and hired streamers/ran it myself, that's why everything was ran on tables with projectors just facing a wall. It was a total no-budget affair.

This year I thankfully don't have to do that. Trying to stream AND run tournament brackets took years off my life.

>>9653976
>And why the fuck do they keep bringing this goon. The last time he was relevant was petering out back in 2006?

Because he lives in A^2?

>>9652835
If you're talking about the unofficial facebook group (the big one) they don't know because they're unofficial and don't work for youmacon. Last year they had a sign up table on one of the upper floors in the ren cen, next to where they sold the maid cafe and formal dance tickets. You fill out a slip and sign up for a judging time slot and whether you want to participate in the masquerade. It doesn't cost anything. I'm pretty sure the information for how to sign up was printed in the program booklet.

>>9653976
The funny thing is that the popular people who show up come and congoers and not invited guests.
That ProZD guy who's videos get shared everywhere tends to show up and just hang out, where as someone no one cares about anymore like Vic Mignogna gets a full auditorium.

>>9653976
I can't recall there was a time where there were any guests that made me excited to go to youmacon. It's basically a party con to me.

Are there booths that sell wigs/colored lenses? I dont think Im gonna be able to get them in time for it and wouldnt mind paying con price for it.

>>9654263
There is ALWAYS a booth in the dealer hall with wigs. Most likely will be Epic Cosplay Wigs or some other knock off brand but they usually sell for the same price they do online, minus shipping.
Not sure how likely you'll be able to get contact lenses though because the last time i saw a booth like that was around 2 years ago. Depends.

>>9654156
At least Vic has the nostalgia attatched to the name.
All these guests are just side characters or internet nobodies with your youmacon staples; Fred Gallagher and Duke Nukem

>>9654299
So im better off getting lenses now at the least?

>>9654341
Yeah, especially since you'll either need a prescription (even for purely cosmetic lenses) or buy them from some asian site that takes forever to ship

Im cosplaying Reinhardt and will have a big ole Hammer prop. How awkward is it carrying around a larger prop?

>>9654422
For the love of god, stay out of the Dealer Hall/Artists Alley/Upper Levels of the Marriott if youre going to be one of those jumbo!Reinhardt's that have to waddle to get anywhere. The congestion in those areas is near unbearable and having a huge prop AND costume is hell if you don't keep yourself in open areas.
Having a friend with you to carry the prop for you during times where you absolutely HAVE to go through high traffic areas helps a lot though.

Discord for Youmacon if anyone is interested https://discord.gg/MeyvtYS

>>9653786
Lmao fuck

Joining in a performance thingy on Saturday, SO said he'd come see me as long as it doesn't overlap with the Tekken tournament. Tekken takes up the exact same timeblock as our performance gg

>>9654642
Thankfully Im just doing a traditional costume cosplay, with the hammer as my only accessory.

>>9654784
May he 0-2 quickly and join you

>>9653976
There's a lot of strange off the wall things this year. I can't tell if it's because of MMX or what. I just don't get it, the con is huge

Well, apparently panel emails will finally be going out in the next couple of days.

>>9650486
This is the general Nazi Youmacon thread and the other post was for a person who was going to their first convention. People going to Youmacon need to know that the person running it support Nazis and are friends with Nazis. That is very on topic.

>>9651384
One male was removed from staff for being a Nazi publicly. You don’t need more proof. You have already been given all the proof and yet you keep asking for more because you are a Fascist Apologist so have fun with that. There are other Nazi on staff who have not gone public but some people going are going to try an make them public this year.

Youmacon needs to stop hiding Nazi persons.

>>9653786
Please have lots of the new Wolfenstein since we know it will trigger the Nazi attendees.

>>9656115
>One male was removed from staff for being a Nazi publicly. You don’t need more proof.

That's proof that ONE GUY was a Nazi. You are claiming that several more are Nazis and that they have swastika tattoos and shit. One staff member getting fired is NOT proof of the rest of your claims.

>You have already been given all the proof

So thanks for at least admitting that you have no proof whatsoever for the rest of your claims. You can sit down and let us discuss the anime convention now.

>>9655856
yeah, typical youma not able to do what it says about getting things done. the panel director seriously dropped the ball this year. who wants to bet we'll find out next week?

>>9656115
Got actual tangible proof about that? Or are just going to assume no one lies on the internet.

>>9656115
Noone has even heard about this bs in staff or this SUPPOSED super scawy underground Nazi stuff going on in the background of youmacon.
Noone fucking cares and we aren't nazis ourselves either.
We just want to talk about the fucking convention.
If something arises; We'll deal with it, but obviously right now youre the only whistle blower whose trying to get people fired up over an imaginary nazi threat.

>>9656395
It just seems like this individual is just trying to start some Nazi Scare at Youma.

>>9656115
Go Daiko fuck yourself

>>9646856
So its just a ren fair con? Blows my mind with Youma's numbers

>>9656720
youma has less and less anime/game related guests every year.
I dont even understand it, especially with how much money they should be getting with how many attendees show up.

Based on what I'm seeing from Facebook friends, it sounds like panel acceptances just went out. Hopefully that means they can get everyone confirmed and put the schedule out more than a few days ahead of the con.

From the Youmacon FB groups it looks like the declined all Japanese fashion panels in favor of a copious amount of hentai panels or other drivel.

>>9657038
Oh no, one Lolita 101 panel got accepted, it's just going to be run by an ita who's barely been in the fashion for more than a year and shows the bare minimum of interest. They just happened to submit it with the same exact name as the Lolita 101 panel that's been running for years. :^)

>Will Youma ever give a shit about jfashion programming?
Decidedly no, or the quality of their programming in general.

>>9657060
Legit curious, has Youma ever had a lolita guest before? Who would they invite?

>>9657108
They've never had any sort of Jfashion guest before to my knowledge. They could invite US-based indie designers for a fashion show, or maybe Lor since she's in Toronto now?

>>9657116
Lor and/or Alb would be cool, I think Youma's afraid to take the risk with jfashion guests (even though it makes more sense than all the randos they're bringing in this year?) but they have large followings of both jfashion fans and simply YT lifestyler fans.

>>9657038
>>9657060
This really makes me want to stop attending youma. Why do pull crap like this? I already have plans to room with people this year so I can't bail, but I'm not bothering to attend next year.

>>9657108
They never have and I doubt they ever would. It really seems like they are pushing aside J-content in favor of miscellaneous western media

>>9657060
I was so pissed off when I saw this. Why would Youma choose them above a person that's run the same panel successfully many years? And why would that person, with little to no knowledge about lolita, try to run a Lolita 101 panel?

>>9657142
Honestly I was surprised Youma even approved of them without any sort of check that they even KNOW what they're going to be presenting about. I've had to send in photos of my coords just to prove that I was competent enough to be in a con fashion show. The two running this have no photos of themselves even in lolita, just cosplay, and every photo we've seen of one of them shows they're a newbie. Equally as pissed. But they're just trying to get their free badge, anon. So they needed another panel to do.

>>9657145
That's true. I just can't believe all of this shit is happening, run by cosplayers who have barely a toe in the comm, and then it's being helped by their "friend" who looks to have literally never worn lolita in their life. Ridiculous. That's a good way to turn the whole comm against you though.

>>9657148
It's not them anon, the rest of the communication are just elitists who don't want ANYONE else to have a chance. It couldn't be that that yknow, the people have been running it for years might actually have more than a year's worth of "does this thrift store blouse work for lolita?" experience.

>>9657154
Comm* lol

>>9657135
>I am uncomfortable when things are not all about me and my niche alt-fashion

>>9652835

you just sign up at the con, it's free, you pick a judging time slot, then you go in your costumes and the judges go over your work, and you can tell them what you did and point out anything you really wanna showcase.

If you're in the masq, its usually on saturday evening, you gotta be there like an hour or two before and then you're there till the end of the comp. it's definetly a big time suck and doesn't leave a lot of time for friends, but if you really wanna compete it's not terrible. They usually feed you while you're waiting in the green room too.

>>9657162
Why would you attend an event that was for something you're not interested in? Really anon?

>>9657165
Ah that clears up a lot, thanks!
I actually just found an online app for the hall contest but fucked up my application because i misunderstood the competing categories (chose a category based on how many years ive been creating as opposed to how many awards ive won which is zero).
Hopefully I can fix this in person at the con.

>>9657108
Baby, The Stars Shine Bright would be cool or Innocent world or I think h. Naoto does cons or putumayo. We'll never get it tho it's a pipe dream

>>9657154
So are you the ita running Lolita 101 or are you making fun of the ita because I really can't tell from this post what your point is.

>>9647701
SAY IT TO MY FACE AND NOT ONLINE, MOTHER FUCKER.

>>9657238
Sorry, I thought I was obvious. The person whose panel got accepted and their friend are defending it by saying that they thought the original panel was elitist and focused too much on brands, etc. Less than a year ago they were still asking the usual "Can x work in lolita? Is Wunderwelt a safe site to use??" newbie questions. Was trying to be /s and use their words. Hope that's clearer for you.

>>9657243

It's because some new person (who is also hosting a plethora of fetish and yaoi panels) submitted a copy paste of last year's Lolita 101 panel descriptions and because they were OMG FIRST!!! Youmacon accepted that panel over the girls who do it every year. Welp.

>>9657260
Also the lolita fashion show got denied because they "didn't have room" according to the girl who submitted it. Do they even use most of Cobo?

>>9657260
Why is it always "I'm totally a guy everyone!! I wear lolita but he/him pronouns!!" who are into yaoi and that shit, why is this a thing like across the board

>>9657201
that was the point
I just don't understand lolitas complaining about representation at an anime con. It's obviously going to be about anime and cosplay, not jfashion. There are cons exclusively about these fashions like rufflecon, so why is it such a big deal to have them at our cons too?

>>9657269
>>9657269

uh i have news for you about youma being about anime my dude, all these dr who and harley quinns beg to differ

so since its not about anime, why CANT there be lolita?

>>9657273
why does lolita have to be such a huge part though? if the organizers don't think it fits with their con, then they won't include it.

honestly, the lolitas on this board have a real self-entitlement issue that they think every thread and ever con is theirs to complain about.

>>9657273
What the anon you're replying to is saying, I think, is that we should be grateful to have any representation at an anime convention at all.

However, we are glad to have what little representation we do, even though j-fashion is only gaining popularity throughout anime communities so it only makes sense that we should have more programming oriented towards it. What we are upset about is that the person who is running this panel is inexperienced and not knowledgeable enough to be in charge of it. We want representation, but we also want /proper/ representation.

>>9657264
Is this the panelist? I dug through some shit on the FB group to find him

>>9657277
We have one panel out of dozens of fetish, meme, and every popular anime and its 18+ duplicate panels.

I don't think we're asking for much.

>>9657284
Yuuup

>>9657284
oh, no the lolita doxxing begins....

Some of these 18+ panels are just too good to be real

>>9657277
>huge part

It has one panel dude. By your logic, japanese tattoos is the focus of the entire con because it has two panels.

>>9657284
And the person who's helping them run it. It's obvious how passionate they are about it lmao

>>9657293
There's really a whole panel about, what, asexual headcanons in Haikyu? But we're asking for too much by wanting a fashion show?

>>9657303
yeah, asexual headcannons is at least tangentially related to anime. Lolita fashion shows aren't. Even lolita panels aren't unless you're discussing the fashion of an anime where the characters wear it.

>>9657293

Ohhhh, now I understand how to apply for panels for youmacon!

Going Sideways: The Science of Initial D
>Declined

The D Stands for DICK! All of Takumi's cock, balls, and asshole! (18+, Not 4 Kids! Not 4KIDS LOL)
>Approved

Thanks anon!

>>9657284
Yes. So rori. Much experience. Gonna be a great panel!

>>9657305
Did you get turned down by a lolita or are you just mad you can't afford AP? I don't quite understand your vendetta

>>9657305
How is this related to anime

>>9657309
no vendetta anon! it's just weird that you think an alt-fashion is more related to anime than discussion of anime, no matter how crappy the discussion is. seems like you're just a salty sally because you can't make youmacon into another rufflecon.

>>9657305
With that logic there should be no DC or Marvel panels, no Dr. Who or Supernatural panels, no Homestuck panels, no video game panels, and Youma shouldn't even have half of the guests on its list this year. You realize how stupid you sound right?

>>9657305
How is this guest related to anime

>>9657313
it doesn't seem stupid at all anon! what seems stupid is the salty gulls in here demanding that a con give them a fashion show and lolita guests, when they don't have to if they don't want to.

>>9657307
OH SHIT THEY GOT AVRIL LAVIGNE THIS YEAR! I LOVE SK8R BOI

>>9657316
Are you replying to yourself because thank you for the lolz

>>9657316
Anon I'm still waiting on you to mental gymnastics these guests to be more relevant to anime than Lolita/j-fashion

>>9657316
It literally says on the youmacon home page.
>Youmacon is a celebration of Japanese popular culture and its influence on our own culture over the past few decades.
Please tell me how lolita doesn't fall in this category.

>>9657312
Youmacon claims to be about anime, video games AND Japanese culture. So it's quite understandable why the Lolita comm would be upset by being damn excluded. Other cons do a better job at including the Japanese culture aspect than Youmacon has over the years. Which is a shame because they definitely have the money to get guests that fit within what they claim to be. As for the panels, it's pretty sad they shy away from on topic things. I'm personally tired of all the cringy panels they keep approving.

>>9657325
Oh, you didn't know, they count because they dress up in Sailor Scout outfits. Makes them annemays

>>9657327
you know as well as I do that Japanese culture doesn't necessarily include alt-fashions that just happened to be started in Japan. You are not owed a spot at conventions if they don't want to give it to you. Stop being salty and crying you entitled baby.

>>9657334
So wait how does the circus tie back to Japanese culture

>we don't have room necessary for a fashion show
>we have room for acrobats and sword fighting though

>>9657334
I really need anon to explain to the class why Lolita is considered some obscure off-shoot of Japanese culture but a fucking trapeze act, (Western) sword play demonstrations straight from the local Ren faire, and a dude reading creepy-pasta on YouTube are owed a spot at the con.

>>9657334
Japanese pop culture includes Japanese fashion. Harajuku is a place of interest for a reason. That said, Youma had definitely dropped the ball this year.

>>9657334
What? How are Japanese alt fashions not a part of Japanese culture?

>>9657337
they aren't owed a spot either, but they were given one because the people running the con said so. Don't like it? go to a con where they have things you want.

>>9657346
Or, they could actually bring in guests, add panels and events that are relevant to anime, video games, and Japanese culture. Since, ya know, they advertise themselves as having those things.

>>9657350
or you can just go to a con that has a focus on jfash like rufflecon, which is around the same time. They gave the content they wanted, no matter how much you cry, act salty, or try to armchair admin their con for them.
accept it, you don't get a lolita fashion show.

>>9657346
Are you mad I was making fun of your butt riot panel because I'm not sorry

>>9657353
Can you name any other cons that focus on jfash other than rufflecon, I'm curious what my other options are in case I don't want to travel that far

>>9657353
No, they need to put more of what they advertise in the con. We need more anime, video game, and Japanese culture related things at the con. Not this knock off MMX they keep shoving down people's throats.

>>9657364
With MMX shit from earlier are they even going to have one? I kinda hope they stop and just focus on anime and the like @Youma

>>9657376
This year's Youma seems like it's going to be knockoff MMX for sure. The best we can do is spam them with relevant shit in the forums for next year's Youma.

>>9657387
Seems like a knock-off MMX or is a knock-off MMX?

>>9657376
>>9657387
>>9657396
Because of the screw ups with MMX getting cancelled they moved a lot of the MMX guests to youmacon. The whole thing is really suspect since they claimed not to use any youmacon funds for MMX

>>9657318
Nah man they just got her second-rate body double.

>>9657396
Yeah, this Youma is a knock-off MMX.

>>9657406

>they moved a lot of the MMX guests to youmacon.

Wow, they could have just brought them back for the next MMX.

>>9657537
Why even do another MMX when it obviously keeps failing...

What hotel do people stay at?

Never stayed at the Marriott, it is probably hellish

Do they always wait until the last minute to finalize panels? It's 3 weeks until the first day man, do they just fuck around the rest of the year?

>>9657539
any of the hotels near the con, really
if you want to save money you could get a place that's like 15 or so minutes away that's right off a freeway

>>9657583
>Do they always wait until the last minute to finalize panels?

Yes, every year without fail. It almost feels like a custom at this point.

I'm not even a lolita, but I kind of want to go to this guy's Lolita 101 panel just to see what a train wreck it is.

sum bitch got six fucking panels approved and both of mine were declined man fuck this con

>>9657539
If you love waiting nearly an hour for an elevator back to your hotel room, the Marriott is the hotel for you!

>>9657825
Are you referencing this panelist because boy it sure looks like they are bringing some quality content to the table. Confessions of a cat lady was picked over a plethora of jfash panels that we're submitted, what a world we live in.

>>9657841
A first time panelist and she got six? Are they kidding? I like the topics but come on.

>>9657841
Stop being salty

>>9657841
k but that actually does look like it might be good content. different topics than ive seen in a while.

>>9657882
Sounds like something a defensive cat lady would say.

>>9657890
more a ferret person but thanks for the paranoia.

>>9657882
How is being a cat lady relate to japanese pop culture? Why was this approved?

>>9657882
Different != better.

>>9657841
Interesting that this person helps run programming for Ohayocon...

>>9657681
It's going to be a treat given that this shit was less than a year ago. They're already complaining about being too stressed to create content for their porn panels so I'm sure the Lolita panel will be just great too! /s

>>9646856
Well, they did it. they finally got a guest that's actually exciting.

>>9657927
That dude looks like he's ready to take all these nobodies through Battle Royale and school them.

>>9657894
Ah so you must run the butt riot panel, my apologies

>>9657927
what are the odds of him actually getting to the con considering their track record

>>9658035
Youmacon/10

>>9657841
none of those even sound remotely interesting
the adult swim one is just going to be someone jerking off about one/two shows in particular
who wants to see someone play hentai games live, for real
the last one just sounds like an extremely more vague bad sonic fan fiction (which has been great the past two years)

Is the preliminary schedule supposed to be posted some time this week?

>>9658421
This is the quality youmacon is striving for when they are picking panels for their convention. This, and acrobats or some shit I guess.

>>9657927
And shocker, another.

sup lads! ill probably be at the con on friday and definitely on sunday.
im mostly just going to be hanging with one of my friends who works security for the con. i'd definitely like to make some new friends

There's gonna be some special events on Friday but I need to finalize them. Stuff like money matches to watch, Xrd 2v2 team tournament, a 3v3 Third Strike tournament.

I'm trying to get a 2on2 Gundam Versus tournament but I need to make sure I have all the bullshit needed to make that work. I'll post a big ol graphic with all the details when I have it all finished

>>9658908
Legit curious why all these Japanese guests popped up last minute. Hype tho

>>9663009
They heard the complaints.

>>9663009
>>9663229
Why do the Japanese ones say industry?

>>9663271
Guess cause they're from the industry? Some companies were marked that, too. What is it usually?

>>9657299
Wait really, this is the copanelist for Lolita 101? I'm facebook friends with this person; they're not even a lolita. Never once have they posted a single thing about the fashion. They're a cosplayer/photog that posts pictures of them and the dude running the new Lolita 101 panel in like, Yuri on Ice cosplays and shit from other fujobait shows. I think they're banging, which I guess is why they're helping run the panel, but neither of them are in any way qualified to handle it. What the shit.

I'd love to see a group of lolitas walk into that lolita 101 panel and walk out in unison.

>>9664544
an actually good idea is to ask them questions consecutively that they would have zero idea about and make them look like jackasses
also if they show misinformation on a projector loudly correct them, but if only one person does it then they will probably just get kicked out so bring friends

>>9664542
This person had the gall to ask the usual panelist for help. That vague post about a "high class bitch"? That's her response to being politely told no.

>>9665240
Oh my godddd I wondered

Offtopic but for those who enjoy the gameroom for bemani round1copened at glc and its good.

>>9665240
Screencap pls I'm not friends with them and they definitely won't accept my request because I spoke out about them lol

>>9665899
I'm not friends with her either, but I do have it. Its funny that she thinks she's "high class". Bitch if you have to use bed sheets for your "makeshift" coordinate you aren't high class.

>surejan.jpg

>>9665908
holy fuck i want to go to this shit show now just to walk out

>>9665890
Oh? that Round1 finally opened? I'll have to make a trip out there and finally see it.

>>9666072
I'm definitely going, it's gonna be the best shit show.

I'm going as Walter Sullivan from Silent Hill 4. Hopefully the weather won't be horrible, but then again it's Michigan.

Schedule is up more than a few days before the com, incredible

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oBKbltlCpnQx0HjkuGgiE-KQXpDlF7O8nl7C1wCcIsk/htmlview

when's the shitty lolita panel? sat or sun? I hope she wears her best bodyline coord and will help me choose the best fedora feather

>>9666400
Saturday 2pm from the looks of it. One of the presenters wore a bed sheet looking skirt and that's the only "coord" she's every worn. So I'm sure it will make a return.

It's so surreal knowing that the schedule is up, and the con is only a few days away.

>>9666413
I'm more shocked it's not being released the week of the con for once. As usual there's not much there.

Only thing I'm excited for is the Adventure Zone photo shoot.

>>9666383
I heard rumor that it'll be in the 70's over that weekend but I honestly think theres a chance it'd rain

>>9666410
fuck idk if ill make it, I have a shoot at 2:30 in the opposite direction.

>>9666400
I can decide whether to go in lolita, or to stealth in cosplay to just observe and document

>>9657142
>>9657142
I could give less of a fuck about lolitas but the person who usually runs the Lolita 101 panel is an elitist bitch. She has a poor reputation outside of her Lolita circle jerk and constantly brings down others. Many people hate her attitude. To be fair though, it didn't make any sense for her panel to be declined over some fujoshit's Lolita 101. Especially since it's been successful.

>>9667192
People who think it's elitist to wear mostly brand are hilarious. If you're too hard up to afford a few hundred dollars here and there lolita probably isn't the hobby for you

>>9667219
>if you are too hard up to afford a few hundred dollars here and there maybe Lolita isn't the hobby for you
>we aren't elitist!

That's some grade A Bullshit. It's one thing to educate people about the brands, but another to tell people they can't wear the fashion unless it's all brand name, which is overpriced shit. It's like telling a cosplayer if they thrift something it's not cosplay. Get off your entitled pedestal. Maybe youmacon doesn't want to deal with the Lolita com's shitty petty attitude.

>>9667228
Literally no one ever said only brand though? You can buy offbrand/indie stuff. You are still going to drop a couple hundred on an outfit. That's just how it is. Even the cheap Chinese shit gets expensive after shipping. You can't really thrift lolita and making it takes skill and as much money plunked down for fabric as buying offbrand.

Hello Sky :^)

>>9667228
It doesn't have to be brand but it costs money to buy decent off-brand and it costs money and a lot of time and skill to create quality hand-made. Accessories cost money, shoes cost money, bags cost money, make up and wigs cost money. It's not elitist it's just a fact. Show me a lolita that shopped entirely at the thrift store and still looks good. Lol for that matter show me a cosplayer that did

>>9667228
Looks like your the one entitled anon with your fast fashion pricing perspective. But keep going on about how everything can and should be cheap for you.

>>9667243
>shopped entirely at the thrift store and still looks good. Lol for that matter show me a cosplayer that did

That's the good old fashioned Lolita elitism we've all come to know and cringe.

>>9667246
Well, show me the pictures. Prove me wrong!

>>9667246
>I don't like reality so I'm going to whine and call you names.

I'm still waiting to see your amazing thrift store cosplay anon.

>>9667247
Not the point. Some lolitas are grossly elitist because they accept nothing less than their view of perfection. Things that aren't perfectly matched or not as nice quality or whatever get people labeled like they're ruining a fucking type of clothing. Maybe you think your outfit looks good but frankly no amount of expensive clothing will make a fugly pig look any better.

>>9667249
My casual AU Yuri on Ice OC (original character do not steal) ~~~~~

>>9667249
Calling someone elitist is now name calling. Go back to grade school.

>>9667246
this mentality is exactly why a good and informative Lolita 101 panel is needed.. this is the kinda shit that’s gonna be spewed at the current panel and it’s gonna be awful

>>9667246
Exactly this is elitist as shit.

So let's say someone new to the cosplay com saw Lolita and they didn't have a lot of money or know where to start. They thrift a Lolita blouse and some other stuff. Are they going to be shunned because they didn't spend $200 on a coord? Are you gonna call them an ita and post about their outfits on here ? Y'all are more toxic than the cosplay com

>>9667252
this is not the current discussion
you have to have actual lolita clothing to wear lolita and not a maxi dress you found at goodwill

>>9667244
>>9667243
>>9667249
Honestly it's this type of vitriol that makes us really dislike the local community. I'm so disappointed that we allowed this to run for so long. We will never again give a platform to people who so casually hate others for clothing and money, it's disgusting. Don't come, we don't need your money so bad that we'll put up with all this ugliness.

>>9667256
idk why y’all think it’s the amount of money spent, it’s about the type of clothing you have to wear for it to be lolita and it’s just not likely to find suitable clothes while thrifting

>>9667256
No. We help them and tell them where to find better stuff. It's obvious you haven't really interacted with the Michigan community at all because everyone is very helpful to new people. Lolita is a specific aesthetic. Something you really cannot find at a thrift store. It's just not possible to find anything other than a blouse here and there and maybe some jewelry. You wouldn't buy a bathrobe and insist it's a kimono right? It's the same damn thing. We don't care what an outfit costs. You can buy brand name items for $20 secondhand online. It's not about the money you spend it's about fitting an aesthetic of a specific fashion.

>>9667256
Um, no. I'm a long time Lolita and I often wear offbrand blouses and shoes, and if anything I've gotten lots of compliments on them. In the comm people often share finds like that too. You are missing the point by a mile.

>>9667252
You sound really bitter, anon; I'm sorry someone told you your outfit looked bad. I hope you can recover from the blow some day.

>>9667260
again nobody is hating anyone else for clothing or money
also is this admission that the returning panel was rejected due to vendetta because that’s what it sounds like now

>>9667260
Holy shit not even a Lolita, but if you're staff and admitting that you cancelled a panel because you have a personal beef with someone that's fucked up man.

>>9667272
No it's probably just the panelist pretending to speak for youmacon. All of the actual nastiness, name calling, etc, has been coming from them as far as I can see. They seem really immature.

>>9667260

As usual Youmacon staff making the con their personal playground and shitting on what their attendees actually want?

A panel about Japanese fashion from a veteran in your local community? Nah, let's get some dickhead from youtube and ren faire fighters! Yeah!

Youmacon is a fucking joke, they've already said the schedule in the program is out of date. You should just end this sad charade.

>>9667272
"B-but the Russians"

>>9667260
So, which fujo are you. You're trying to sound smart, with your needless flourishes, so I'm betting Chase.

>>9667282
Oh you must be the panelist who didn't get your Lolita panel accepted

:^)

>>9667282
>they've already said the schedule in the program is out of date.
To be fair that's how most coventions I visit are if they put the schedule in the con book instead of a separate pullout.

>>9667288
Ok I gotta jump in right here. If you think the word vitriol is a flourish, you might need to take a step back and ask yourself if you're in the right state of mind. Or maybe you just need to crack open a book and learn some new words you airheaded twat.

>>9667290
Nope! But I'm friendly with enough communities to know who's who and what's what. Nice guess though!

>>9667291
Didn't they only just put it out through Google Sheets or did I miss something? At least it's editable in that format but sucks if people have committed to plans according to the outdated information.

>>9667300

So there is a google sheet, which is good, but heaven help anyone who doesn't know it exists. The version that will be given to you when you get your badge is out of date and is missing stuff like the weeaboo garage sale.

>>9667300
I guess. I don't pay attendion to the schedule much. I used to run panels at a lot of different cons though and have run into issues like this all to often. I just assume all cons are fucked as far as schedules go.

>>9667303
I had no idea they'd already gone to print, but damn. Good old Youmacon.

>>9667260
>Criticism of fast fashion pricing
>Vitriol
Sure? But no? You should be paying more for all your clothes anon. But you don't care about those in third world countries or the environment, just about your need to wear lolita cheaply.

>>9667315
Lmao lolitas are salty that their shitty community full of hate is exposed. It's funny staff basically confirmed that's why they declined it. Which it should be declined

>>9667260
Cheers and good riddance.

>>9667345
Ban cosplay. All con attendees must wear regulation sacks.

>>9667260
I'm glad this is what you choose to put your attention to, instead of the shitty djs at the rave or the joke that is the guest list this year

>>9667354
More like ban bitches from running programming who judge people for their clothing and money and look down on others like the classist pigs they are.

Maybe there should be a Lolita panel about how disgusting the com is.

>>9667260
Yes, a popular panel that was consistently full, how terrible you have events people are willing to pay money to see. Such a huge mistake, cat lady panels are a way better choice.

>>9667369
you sound like you have a vendetta against the comm and are trying to make the entire comm look bad. it’s very frustrating because GLL is so welcoming and kind. nobody in the comm judges on clothes and money, but they’re also not going to just tell you that your non lolita outfit is lolita. one of the mods is a mostly handmade lolita and is highly respected and well loved so I don’t even know where this “brand elitism” accusation is coming from, it’s just not true.

>>9667389
It's just the panelists who don't even wear lolita who refuse to believe that the one's an ita who doesn't know god damn about the fashion, and the other's a cosplayer just trying to get a free badge.

They're the only ones who came into the comm name calling and cussing anyone out who questioned the legitimacy of their panel and knowledge. The one's who were just immediately saying "KICK ME THE FUCK OUT THEN U ELITIST SNOBS" because they didn't want to admit they don't know what they're talking about.

>>9667397
You have proof of this?

>>9667409
Nayrt, but it was a huge post within our comm of 200 people, it was kind of hard to miss.

What's wrong with shopping at a thrift store for cosplay? I can't say anything about Lolita since I don't know anything about it, but I can't see the harm in shopping there if you are doing a cosplay that doesn't demand a lot of smaller details.

>>9667409

>>9667413
I'm one of the anons from above that made a comment about that. For a closet cosplay it's fine I'm sure! Things like suits etc. However, I guess you could think of Lolita like Sakizou cosplay, or think a character with a big detailed dress. It's not something you'd find at a thrift store. You could make it if you had the skill though, which is the same with Lolita. There are lots of celebrated handmade exclusive lolitas.

>>9667422
I get that line of thinking. It all depends on what sort of character you're doing. Thanks.

>>9667369
You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of admitting you made a mistake, you've set out to drag people through the mud who've done nothing but be helpful and kind to you. You keep demanding why the comm hasn't done more for you and yet you've done nothing to contribute yourself. It's a group of ordinary individual people who give their time and effort answering your questions and organizing meets because they love the fashion and care about the people in the comm, it's not a business or an institution. You've acted incredibly childish, especially if you think you're really 'anonymous' when you post this stuff on 4chan. We all know who it is.

>>9653765
yeah same i live in ypsi. parking then walking over in cosplay is kinda a pain but its cheap

>>9667228

it's not elitist though. Quality things cost money, and that's the truth of the world for everything, not just for lolita. No one here is saying that you can only wear expensive brand to be considered a lolita - there are lots of discussions on this board about indie designers and bodyline. Lots of people recommend buying secondhand to avoid the costs of buying all new brand. But this isn't a fashion where a $60 dress from Hot Topic is going to look the same as a $200 dress from a lolita designer, because the materials, the design, and the manufacturing are going to be very different. By all means, buy that $60 hot topic dress and if you find a way to rock it, more power to you. Even on this board, few people are going to judge you based on where you got your dress, as long as your coord looks good. But it's just a lot harder to make cheap and poorly made dresses look good, so that's probably why it comes across as elitist to you. But that's an unavoidable aspect of a fashion centered around fine material and details, and it's not meant to be any personal jab at you that cheap dresses look worse. I'm not even a lolita and this seems obvious to me.

SHIT im so excited to come to this hot fucking mess of a panel.
I can just see it now, as soon as the room fills, they'll open the panel with some bitter chatter about "elitist bitches" trying to ruin their fun time, and skirt around naming names as they complain about actual active members in the lolita community.
Not to mention I cannot wait to see what theyre wearing.

This is the most excited ive been for something at Youmacon.
We'll see you there, Chase!

Ah fuck I just realized the lolita panel is going to overlap with like 1 out of 2 solid commitments I've made for the weekend. I need a gull at that panel running live commentary, I need it so bad lmao

Old lolita panelists wanting to stage walkouts and go to the new panel to make fun of it.

New lolita panelists name calling and intentionally taking something that the current comm cares a lot about for their own amusement.

Youma choosing panels based on interpersonal relationships instead of who is qualified or that there is a demand for.

Just disappointing all around. The entire lot of you should revaluate your priorities, Jesus.

>>9668182
Haha. Yeah. Women are such cunts.

>>9668198
Good one, troll. Keep that bait coming!

>>9657269
Holy shit, did you seriously just refer to anime conventions as 'ours?' Newsflash, the lolitas bought badges same as you. Don't get some grand delusion that just because you can name more anime characters than them that the con is somehow any more yours than it is theirs. They're attendees too, they can request the content that they want to see.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rH-AcR78wTQ
How I imagine the lolita panel is going to go down.

>>9668182
I haven’t heard anyone actually wanting to do a walkout, the consensus in the comm seems to be conflict on whether to attend to support Lolita programming (even if there’s a high chance it’ll be awful) or not attend to not support this panelist and to avoid youmacon thinking this panel was successful.

The panelists have basically burned bridges with the entire comm, so I think there’s also interest in going to see if they try to shit talk the comm or how they react to comm members attending (if they even realize since they were not really active members and don’t know anyone)

>>9668284
My bad, the walkout comment was in a different fourm.

Sometimes I think throwing myself from a bridge or going all in with six rounds in Russian Roulette would be a more pleasurable experience than Youmacon.

>>9668707
With all the creeps and rape apologists crawling out of the woodwork or being outed in the Facebook groups this week, I'm inclined to agree.

>>9668717
Where did you see that? Any links? I didn't follow any information about Youmacon.

>>9668730
The unofficial Youmacon Facebook group and the Youmacon Everyone Security group.

>>9668755
This shit is delicious, this dramu sustains me

>>9668717
>Half the staff are shitters
>Half the panels are LGBTQA+
I'm not sure if this is some gladhanding attempt to make up for it or something but hot damn is this con a fucking mess from top to bottom

>>9670009
Or you know, the rise of "nazis" is connected to the sudden increase of people calling anyone right-of-center a "nazi"

>tfw you're only going to Youmacon for the express purpose of supporting other Nazis

>>9670017
I just feel like the huge number of gay community panels is some kind of thing to appease those people because some staffers got outed as assholes or something. It's really not fun having already bought a ticket to the con, looking at the schedule, and realizing there's really not a lot to look forward to. If nothing else it's basically just an expensive, 3 day trip to an arcade.

>>9668182
The old panelist just sounds petty. Why doesnt she ask the con to give her a place to host something. Just because she is in a com doesnt mean she has to panel. Next year im going to submit a lolita panel. Lol. If her old panel was any good the con wouldve remembered her name and not picked a newbie.

>>9667478
What? Are you saying you are a mod or janitor? Thats why btb is dying.

>>9670176
Her panel's been pretty well received at most conventions I've seen it run at, and she's well respected in the comm from what I know. The "new" panelist basically lifted the description and title from her panel and put the application in first, and I think that's the only reason why they got it. Youmacon is not a convention that cares about quality - everything is first-come-first-served. It's uncalled for to call her petty when she has every right to feel upset. And I know what the response to this is gonna be - no, I'm not her, I'm not even a lolita. I'm just someone who keeps up on stuff like this.

>>9670182
Its lolita 101. How unique of a description can it be. The real test will be is she copying the content. I think new people doing panels is good, as long as they know what they are talking about. Florida and the new england area has no variety. Its the same people with the same ideas. Thats why I say lets see. The only troubling thing is this girl had a ton of panels approved. She should give a slot up.
In a perfect world they would let the regular lady run hers as well. Oh well. She has to pay for a badge like everyone else.

>>9670197
Nayrt but I'm also not a lolita and think the drama surrounding this is a little self-inflicted.
Not only did she dupe the original panel name&description, but this new host apparently doesn't even participate in the subculture which should kind of be a requirement if you want to host a panel that educates people on the fashion in the first place.

It's like if I were to host a Cosplay 101 panel even though I've bought all the cosplays I've ever had. It just doesn't make sense.

>>9670214
It would be like if the cosplay you bought were from a Halloween shop, that’s how bad it is relatively

>>9670197
>As long as they know what they are talking about

This is what we are complaining about. They don't wear the fashion and actively hate the community aspect of it. Would the comm still be slightly mad if someone else did this? Of course! Would we be as mad if it wasn't two fujoshi Yuri on Ice cosplayers that actively hate our entire community and think owning anything but the cheapest Taobao makes you an elitist? Probably not...

>>9670197
They definitely do not know what they are talking about, that's the issue. They actually messaged the original panelists with really simple questions because they don't know their shit. One of the two new panelists isn't even a lolita and has never worn the fashion. I definitely don't think the original panelist is upset at having to "buy a badge like everyone else", she's upset about her passion being smeared by someone like the new panelists, and worried about how it's going to reflect on the whole Great Lakes Lolita community.

>>9670448
I want to know what they asked, seriously. Because when they were cussing us all out they were claiming that they "knew their shit" so I'm nosey and curious.

>>9670515
"What's the difference between country and classic lolita"...

>>9670448
It's like having your car stolen, then the thief calls you for help because they don't know how to drive stick.

>>9670214
>>9670218
Nah, think more along the lines of you cosplayed once and it was a closet cosplay.

>>9670596
I can't wait for this mess.

>>9670616
That's actually the reason why I drive stick lol

>>9670596
This doesn't surprise me at all unfortunately. This is someone who couldn't be arsed to Google "Is Wunderwelt a trustworthy site?", of course they'd be stupid enough to ask for spoonfeeding from the very people they've alienated by taking on the damn panel. How much of it do you want to bet is going to be plagiarized lol

>>9667345
That's really funny because I regularly am in contact with staff and happened to mention this drama in passing for a litmus test and it was first come first serve, not 'too much drama'

>>9667277
They aren't staff, it's def Chase pretending to be staff to try and justify feeling (rightfully) attacked for their (definitely) shitty actions.

Chase, look, I'm gonna level with you here. No one hates you because you can't afford all brand. No one hated you for wanting to run a Lolita panel as well. People are upset with you because you a. Used the same panel title and description as the original panel host, b. Had a shit fit about it in the local community, c. Don't even know how to build a basic coord and yet expect to be able to speak from a position of authority regarding the fashion.

Honestly I just feel bad for you now, because you feel you are so far from any wrongdoing that you see every comment on here as a personal attack on you as a person and not in any way related to how your decidedly shitty actions could have been received. Please stop before I get terminal cancer from this thread.

>>9667260
Hey youma staff member, please let us all know what department you work in so I can get your ass fired for feeding in to this drama shithole

>>9670681
Watch it just be a shitty cell phone video of the previous panelist giving the Lolita 101 panel projected up on the screen.

>>9670802

I can confirm this also. The drama didn't start until after acceptances went out.

is there gonna be a meetup or what?

>>9667260
Were you personally victimized by regina george in hs? You know lolitas aren't the rich preppy squad from who bullied you. They want to see their subculture accurately portrayed.

>>9670862
I don't think it's asking too much for a proper panel about a subculture that shares it's name with a fetish associated with sexualized underaged girls, but maybe I'm just being an elitist for trying to exclude the pedophiles from the con.

That's how this works, right? I just call people disagreeing with me elitists? When the fuck did Tumblr get brave enough to post here

>>9668755
Oh shit, I saw that shit...One about some dude name ayato or some shit- All of those screenshots and shit that was posted, dude's a real sicko. he went into hiding because he couldn't face the truth i guess lol

>>9670934
He’s actually the one who posted the foamwork pic at the start of this thread. People are trying to defend him and I don’t know about the creep claims but I can tell you he owes thousands of dollars between multiple people but spends all his time going to “vacation” cons and making shit costumes. He legit used to have “semi-pro cosplayer” on his insta and thinks he’s some kind of cosplay influential god but he makes some of the worst-fit, worst-painted “armor” I’ve ever seen. All around a shitty person and cwc-tier lolcow

>>9670946
Ayato is a real creep. As soon as that post was made so many people came out with stories. He even admitted to having a rape fantasy about a girl he dated. This is disgusting

still have space in my room at the con if anyone needs a place to crash

>>9670964
I’m just glad he can’t ever keep friends since they all learn how insufferable his vastly undeserved ego and victim complex is, on top of the thirst. Dude if you’re reading this get a fucking job and think about something other than dressing up as Chinese cartoon characters 100 pounds smaller than you for once.

Has anyone been to this before? and if so, how nasty was it

>>9671153
Sweaty drunk dudes with their clothes on watching anime/vidya and the one autistic girl everyone is secretly 'mirin sitting on the floor by herself

>>9671159
lel doesn't surprise me

>>9671159
that's basically the meetup every year too lol

>>9671176
Was there even a meetup last year? I tried to find it but ended up just wandering the halls shouting "ARE YOU FROM 4CHAN" at people

>>9657299
They did this same panel (Cos Photo 101) at JFax and it was boring as hell. I really hope they redid it.

>>9671190
I believe it was somewhere near the volt bar or the restaurant on the floor beneath the glass one.
You usually just have to look for one or two people kind of being by themselves

>>9670964
>>9670934
Ayato lol, his name is San Khon. He uses the Japanese name cause he's one of those Asians who wants to be a different type of Asian.

>>9671211
A Filipino?

>>9671246
Something like that; Southeast Asian.
He even deleted his Tumblr, which was a good source for the shit he said.
I heard he actually used to be a tripfag on here, went by the name Izusa. I think he's listed on the old tripfag/namefag google doc.

Hey, did you guys hear that Greektown parking is no longer free? As per new greektown management.

>>9671252
I just searched and yeah he was a tripfag, lol good stuff. He’s also this anon >>9649574 who apparently has never seen a date masamune helmet in his life

From the screenshots I saw ina thread he was asking people to get dirt on the ceo of Tokyo attack and threatening to leaks nudes- heard he’s banned from matsuricon now lel
He should quit cons or go somewhere else because his ass got caught

>>9671254
So is there no free parking in the area?

>>9671332

Wait who's doing WHAT to Anthony now? I will snap that chubby little neck. In this house we love and protect that man.

>>9671424
Nope but some places are cheaper than others depending on how close you want to park

>>9671153
Wew lad.

I met seagulls are this year's colossalcon...that was an awkward experience. Maybe it would have been less awkward if it were a group and not random people coming up to me saying "hey you're that guy"

>>9671642
and what guy are you?

What bars are near the con that people like to hang out at? I always enjoy having a drink and chatting with con goers.

>>9671839
There will probably be some people at ready player 1. and obviously a lot of people hang out at volt and at the Crowne.

>>9671523
Basicslly. What’s This guys issue
I heard he’s hiding now

>>9671871
He ducked out of the youmacon facebook real fast and locked down his accounts.
We all know what he's cosplaying now though so won't be hard to miss if he actually shows up.

>tfw starting to get a cold.

God damn it it better be gone by next weekend.

The last time I went to a panel was 2 years ago for Team 4 Star 18+ in which they where all lightly buzzed and made the same jokes over and over again like they do every year, show an episode of Hellsing, avoid the actual questions for the shit people actually want and then I fell asleep. I then proptly fell asleep.

>>9671896
I messed up my hip the other day so that walking for too long makes my leg start to go numb. This isn't going to be fun, but I already paid all the money.

>>9670039
For being such a small portion of the population they get a fuck load of attention.

>>9671896
>tfw just got over a cold
I'll be healthy for Youma but my cosplay crunch schedule is fucked

>>9671896
That reminds me I should get my flu shot soon.

>>9671876
Get pics, we always needs more bad cosplay thread material

>>9671254
I was just there tonight and it was free. They change it up occasionally and usually charge on specific days (eg lions games, tigers games, morning commute hours) to scare off people trying to game the system,

Also Ready Player One is pretty cool

>>9671839
Grand Trunk Pub and Checker Bar are not bad and super far from the con, If you want to take the QLine, I recommend Hopcat, Jolly Pumpkin and a buncha WSU/Midtown bars

>>9671839
I know a lot of people used to chill out at the Volt but the drinks kind of suck and are overpriced imho

>>9672124

This. For an "upscale hotel bar" they can't even make a decent cocktail either.

>>9670017
Wrong. The rise of Nazis is because of that thing that is in the White House.

Morgan even said it on his Facebook today though: that since hes Jewish that Drumpf supporting Nazis hate him and hate Youmacon. The Nazis that were on staff are now all btfo because they didn’t know what Morgan was, and now they all hate him for being a POC and not being white like they had thought. This is good for the rest of us and will help keep Youmacon Nazi Free (like what the rest of the country needs to be again if we could get this Hitler impeached).

Nazi Drumftards on suicide watch.

>>9672146
Please come to the meetup so i can put a face to your personality

>>9672078
lel okay
Is that his new account

>>9672146
You do realize that every time you say "DRUMPF", you sound like the conservatives who wouldn't stop shouting "OBUMMER"

>>9672146
this mentality of yours isnt real, right. no way is someone really this lost in made up politics.

>>9672146
>Morgan
>White

Oh come on. If you've seen the man that would be pretty damn obvious.

So after looking up the shit San Kohn did, and reading an absurd amount of proof and evidence on his stupid ass. It seems that when his friends defend him, all they can say is either awkward, the minors he dated cheated on him, and the person who called him out wants "internet fame." Are these guy his special ed classmates or something?

Like the guy himself has a victim complex going on, it's obvious too. He believes he's prey when he's a predator. He'll lure unsuspecting victims with his pathetic act especially when they're young and naive.

>>9671196
I was wondering this, myself. I met her once, she gave me her card and when I looked up her page it seemed like she was pretty new to the scene. I think she'd need some seasoning before I'd pick her to run photography panels... But, Youma can do whatever it wants.

>>9672269
No I found it by digging up old cgl posts lol. But he posts garbage like that all the time. How he’s been in 16 relationships, how girl cosplayers and Patreon users are thots, how superior Japanese armor maker techniques are over westerners, how he wants to be a hero to the cosplay world and be someone kids look up to, how his life is so hard because that recent gf split with him even though he owes so much money to people who loaned to him but just lives with his parents making costumes all night and sleeping all day. The list goes on lol I have this all saved waiting for this lolcow to go public.

>>9672505
Is there gonna be a kiwi thread on him? Man hook me up with that link when it happens lol

>>9672146
Wait so is Youmacon staff full of Nazis or not? You seem to have switched stories from earlier. Are your friends still going "undercover" at the convention to get dirt on the Nazi staff? You are such a confusing person, although you're entertaining.

>>9672146
Most altright are closet jews. Breitbart jew, milo jew. All jew.

>>9672290
Drumpf drumpf.

Hoping to find a girl to take my friends virginity at the con, dude needs to get laid badly

>>9672859
I can help

>>9672859
tell him i said good luck, he's really gonna fuckin need it

>>9671211
OH MY god, I used to know him irl for a fair time, he was always a creep and the biggest blowhard asshole that bullied and intimidated other people and everyone hated him. I feel good knowing that other anons know of this asshole, he's such a dick he deserves to get dragged. Also he lives like a fucking slob.

3 days left, fuckers.
What are you bringing?

>>9673697
Personas.

Honestly, the next cosplay I expect from San is Jared from Subways.

>>9673777
Trips are gonna make it happen

>>9673697
between work and school i had zero time to do what i wanted so I picked up a halloween store mario and luigi hat for the gf and myself

we need a new thread for nazi calling btw

>>9673014
Would be very helpful, he's awkward as fuck, so assuming you're a girl thank you

>>9673697
A shit ton of depression cause here come the Guest cancellations. Why the fuck do I go to this con?

>>9673924
There's rumors that billy west is gonna cancel too, which was a huge reason as to why I wanted to go this year

>>9673597
The post on fb has hit 100 shares seriously I hope he gets banned from other cons that’s not something you should just get away with especially all of the evidence against him.

If anyone sees San make sure to ask him “How old are you again”

>>9673697
A lot of tears and booze because I wasn't able to finish all of my prints in time.

>>9673697
3 days? Wasn't it like November 5th?

>>9673597
Knew the guy through mutual friends and followed him on his social medias. Dude's posts alternate between talking like he's hot shit and whining about how life is unfair to him. He also apparently rarely pays for cons and mooches off people for rooms and badges

>>9673925
Where di these rumors come from?

Oh fucking blow me dude.

>>9674874
Uhhhhhhh wtf?

>>9675136

There's a big ass thread about tipping people in service jobs, and this tool struts in saying we should be tipping cosplayers.

>>9674874
Christ. If you can't afford to pay your bills and cosplay I guess it's time to stop cosplaying.

Look out for San my dudes!!

Hah, I recalled him posting about going to the gym. About 2-3 days later he goes off saying he's a body builder, and how he has a karate man body or some shit. Dude is delusional af.

>>9674874
In large cities people dress up as characters and you pay for pictures. If cosplayers want the same thing they should wear a sign. I understand the thought process but no one asked you to dress up. Kinda killing all the fun.
I think these last comments are trying to send youma bad vibes. I havent decided if im going but for those who do have fun. We have a large theatre district if the con goers arent "cool" enough.

>>9675
That’s fucking gross where did you get that photo

>>9675400
This is a joke right? I like jokes. Seconded; where did you get this photo I want more jokes

>>9675140
So I'm fine with cosplayers having a Ko-Fi page and things like that. But asking for tips for pictures? That's a straight up line in the sand. Fuck this guy.

>>9676343

The idea that "cosplayers got bills" and "cosplay is an expensive hobby" is what drives me up a tree.

By his logic cosplayers should be giving ME a dollar when I take their picture. I'll take that dollar and put it towards new lenses and better equipment, making better photos for them. I mean, I got bills too, gimme that dollar.

>>9675400
For someone who loves posting big titty anime girls all day he could be his own big titty waifu with those udders

Can't make it this year how's the con so far?

Say hi if you spot samurai Freddy and jason
