Convention is about a month away, but the time to plan is now. Also, the deadline to get tickets mailed is in like four days. The venue the afterparty was held at last year shut its doors, but of course, we will always have the Javitts.

Anyone else stoked?

[Anonymous No.10010302]

I’m so hyped, I had such a blast year! I plan to enter the masquerade again, maybe I’ll get another award? Even if I don’t, I’m hoping there will be more entries this year, the amount last year was small and it seemed like there were a lot of dropouts.

Why don't they have panel information up yet? I think last year they already had most of the info on their site by now. They're definitely getting better guests this time around though - it was obvious last year was a trial that proved successful so they're steadily gaining steam. It'll be a breath of fresh air considering the absolutely horrible AnimeFest thing that NYCC held the other week...

I’m hype. They’re bringing in good guests, a movie premiere, and Anisong. Heading to the Friday afterparty as well.
My first time at ANYC. What should I expect for panels, dealers, and artists?
(I’ve never hit up a ‘cgl meet’ because I’m pussy. Looking out to see if someone plans something.)

They switched it like 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty salty because I'd much prefer a Saturday after party

>>10012249
Hopefully they fix the stupid fucking airlock thing, because it was really annoying getting checked moving between the artists alley and the exhibition hall

Expect a lot of cosplayers, last year honestly had like a third of everyone cosplaying which was great if you're into people watching

Woah, heard of this convention before but didn’t know that it happens in November. While I think I’m too late to get tickets, I’ll maybe think of coming next year. What does this convention have to offer for someone who isn’t into anime all too much to begin with?

[Anonymous No.10013929]

Well this looks pretty neat. I might attend. Won’t be able to make it Friday because academics, but I can probably do Saturday/Sunday.

Fucking at cons and fucking at an after party are different. Cons are used more for just having a good time, parties are when you realize that we're literally just animals and participate in bizarre mating rituals like courtship dances to attract the attention of one another. So throw on a flashy outfit (like a peacock) and dance away while staring down someone you're batting for - because you'll have a higher chance getting them that way than most other methods. Chances are you'll trigger some reptilian part of their brain to approach you just by dong the above.

Jersey mode: lol (its why I live here since I need a car for work but still commute into the city).

So parking in manhattan is a bad idea unless you know the right spots, the cheapest spot nearby is 24 USD a day (and I am not telling anyone where). So I would ask, where is your hotel as that can help me narrow down parking but I would recommend long term lots in Newark (I know but the newark lots are patrolled and safe, the crackheads aren't going to do shit), its a short ride on the PATH to 33rd street and then you can take a 2 subway ride (I think hudson yards should be open by then) to the Javits, otherwise its a bus ride from 33rd street to Jacob Javits center.

[Anonymous No.10022866]

>>10022218
ImPark or whatever is the cheapest parking lot, that's literally one street down from the Javits.

[Anonymous No.10022918]

>>10022866
No, >>10022580 is right that it's best to park your care in Jersey and take transit into the city. The tolls for the bridges and tunnels are expensive, and the parking in Manhattan is even more so.

[Anonymous No.10023858]

>>10022218
I drove in for NYCC and stayed at a cousin apt, free parking at night on the street.

here's a price estimated:

tunnel toll $15 cash one time

try to park before 9am-10am, a lot of the garages has early bird special if you leave by 6-7pm, usually $20 max a park

I had a issue with the Icon parking garages that's on 41st, they try to trick people into paying the "event" rate at $50 instead of early bird at $20. when there is nothing posted. so don't park there unless you are strong enough to argue.

free parking on Sunday.

so for my weekend:
$15
+20 Friday
+20 Sat

total was $55.

if you are driving in/out NYC, park in jersey city (free street parking )and take the bus in for $3

or consider parking and taking the ferry to midtown.

I used to take the NJ trains in but it's so unreliable now. but 2 garages I used were
Metropark ($9 a day, overnight ok) and Rahway ($12 a day, overnight ok)

so if using the trains to go to NY penn
it would be about:
$20 roundtrip
+ 3days parking $27-32
takes about 40-50 min on a good day.

[Anonymous No.10023916]

>>10023858
As the Jersey City guy don't park in my hometown they are enforcing ticketing now if you don't have your permit so that's a 50 dollar ticket (also outsiders get out).

Pavonia Parking Garage is 17 a day for 3 days so 51, and PATH round trip is 2.75 so 16.50 +16.50 for metrocard so its 33.50

So 84 dollars for transit to and from the Javits,

The Ferry is like 7.50 round trip which is why PATH even having to put 33.50 on the metrocard to pay for the NYC ride is cheaper than NJ transit tbf.

Only planning on going up Sunday for that Hibike Euphonium movie. Probably going to spend the rest of the day playing Taiko and trying to find good loli artists to commission lewds. I'd stay longer but the person I was going to crash with pooped out on me. Hotels are too expensive.

The Met is always worth checking out, and if you like making cosplays the fashion district is fun to visit for buying materials. I'm actually probably spending at least part of Friday buying fabric for cosplays and for school.

Bring lsd tabs, go to the after party, dissolve it in some drinks, give them out to the ladies for free, wait for it to kick in and they're all yours. Give then enough that they won't be able to remember your face in a police lineup, or wear a cosplay that makes it hard to recognize you outside of it.

My buddy Drew says 3 tabs are usually enough to do the trick. But you're old pal Beari here is too cheap for that shit and just uses 1 tab and two drops of THC oil. Does the trick for less money!

There is a tiny but densely packed Koreatown a few long blocks from Javits, at around 34th and 6th Ave. The two Chinatowns (downtown Manhattan and in Flushing, Queens, at the other end of the 7 line from Javits) have prob some of the best and most authentic Chinese food / street culture anywhere outside of China. There's a garment district in Manhattan in midtown that other people can tell you more about if you like making clothes. Union SQ is the non-tourist Times SQ and worth a visit, esp if you like books - The Strand is there, probs one of the best independent bookstores in the world. There's a good Western comic book store too, Forbidden Planet. If you are around there, Vanessa's Dumplings on 14th is good and cheap. If you are feeling adventurous and want to see ' the real NYC / the hood', but also not die, take the A out to Brooklyn, to...hmmm...Rockaway Ave, walk to Broadway, and walk back towards Manhattan along it, taking the J when you get bored. Prob don't go alone at night if you're a girl.

I don't think so, it's unmistakably a weeb event, but some of that depends on your definition of "normal". It's not as tuned up as I think it ought to be, which is something I may very well mention to the DJs afterwards, especially since I've tossed around the idea of putting on a commercial event, and Sonic BoomBox would be my top choice for it, but that's dependent on their ability to do something worthwhile given the right parameters like I think they did last year. If they've lost that touch, then I can do just as well with someone cheaper.

Anyone get one of those Styling Online mystery boxes? I love Panty and Stocking but it's $50 a box and the cashier won't even give me a general idea of what the fuck could potentially be in it. Clothing? Figures? Plushies?? Like WHAT are my potential snags? I know it wouldn't make sense to tell me what exactly is in each box, but usually for mystery boxes you get a general list of what potential items you get. I'm not paying $50 if they're so vague that it may as well be a fucking post card and stickers. All she had to say was "shirts, maybe" and I would have purchased. Surely they know what potential general items are in these things, and I refuse to believe they have some contractual obligations to not at least give a general idea of what's in even if they don't specifically say or show what exactly is in the prize pool.

Ask for their pic, call them cute (without dragging it out, and say it with confidence and not a mumble) and make small talk about the character they're cosplaying and the series. If they're interested, they'll normally stick around a little to chat with you too, and if they show interest you can move the subject to "so how'd the con been for you, where you headed now?"

Oh yea, I know that one. Did she bite down hard on your shoulder during it too? It actually fuckin hurt. She never mentioned her age to me but don't stress it, it comes with the territory of con fucks. Surprise surprise, teens are horny as fuck and want sex. You were cunt craving at 15 too, right? Is it surprising that girls at this age are cock hungry? If they're willing to give it a go at cons, then they're almost certainly experienced enough with sex to make their own decisions around it anyway. I can assure you her first time was not this weekend. Don't think too hard about it. Like you said, cosplay makeup makes it harder to pinpoint age - especially when weeb beauty standards tend to revolve around making yourself look younger to fit the kawaii schoolgirl theme anyway.

From the yerrrsssss being a NYC thing, mostly a Bronx and brooklyn thing, to all the cosplayers and staff and especially anyone who took a photo of the cosplayers. This turn out was something Peter and the staff did not expect to happen so I’m discussing with them about expanding the show Floor as well, to which Joe agreed should happen. I got a few pics on my phone, but it was hard to take pics on my phone because of the claws. Seriously thank you so much! If anyone has a group shot of the One Piece Meet sup with VampyBitMe, I’d love to see it. ‘‘Twas fun getting my friends featured in Funimation, crunchyroll, and Vizmedia and more.

There usually isn't any way to tell, so it's best not to lose your sanity over it. If you fuck casually at cons, you almost certainly at some point fucked an underrage. It just honestly comes with the demographic of conventions, and it isn't as if you're going to fuckin ask everyone for ID before they get into your room. Just fuck and don't worry. Unless they're literally like 9 years old like those kids who come along with their parents, there really isn't an issue. You aren't taking advantage of someone who's casually fucking at conventions. Even back when Tinder was a hot thing, I know a bunch of 15 and 16 year old girls who put their age as 18 and 19 to fuck dudes in their 20's. People really underestimate how sexually mature mid and older teenagers are.

I know when I was 15 I was fucking girls all the time. Guess what? Girls who are 15 are fucking guys all the time too. We aren't talking about prepubescent children here, we're talking about girls who are already developed enough that within a year or two they'd still look exactly the fucking same anyway.

But for real though, if you don't wait for someone you love, sex is meaningless. You're just devaluing yourself. It's not okay to use underage girls for sex, find someone your own age. The legal age of consent in NY is 17, if you go any lower I'm calling the fbi.

I never implied it was. In fact, I'm arguing the opposite, so your projection is kinda helping my point. Sex isn't a big deal, it's not some life changing experience, and you aren't doing any harm in fucking around with someone who wants it, is of sexual age, and doesn't care about having a night of no-strings-attached fun.

Just because something is illegal does not mean it's wrong to do. It certainly is the case that a lot of morally reprehensible things are illegal, but context is what really determines when something is truly horrific or not.

Which of the following two scenarios are morally sound?
>Grandma is 98 years old, on life support, in agony, and begs for someone to pull the plug any time she gets the chance to be high enough on meds where she can ween the pain off enough to talk
>It is illegal, but the family decides to pull the cord on her

vs

>Granny just is recovering from a life threatening operation
>She's still in critical condition, but is on the road to recovery
>Uncle Steve REALLY wants her fortune NOW to pay his bills, so pulls the plug on her support systems so that she doesn't recover

The law is in place to prevent scenario 2 from happening, and scenario 1 is what most would consider a "gray area" that's debatable, but certainly an entirely different context despite both having the same end result. It's worth evaluating the context of the situation before deeming it correct or incorrect. Laws don't dictate what's moral or not, and they constantly have to be revised to reflect that.

Someone groomed as a child to be their father's concubine through her teen years is what these laws are supposed to protect (similar with laws against incest or polygamy laws). Their context is entirely different from a sexually curious person with enough sexual experience and confidence that they're willingly looking for a fun and casual night with strangers who they will never meet again.

That's what protection is for! Guess what? Studies show that those more confident with sex in their teens have lower rates of what you listed than their peers who remain abstinent. Hmmmm....It's almost as if education and experience are the best ways to learn.

Causality vs causation.

>There's no projecting here
Let me show you where you're p-

>Literally means you're devaluing yoursef

Oh never mind, you already did that for me in the next line. See, I don't find myself devalued by engaging in recreational sex for fun. My partners certainly don't seem to either, and that also included the long term ones I have every now and then. In between them, I use casual sex as a way to better learn what my tastes are, build my confidence, and understand parts of myself I may not have fully understood before due to lack of exploration. It isn't the action of sex that makes sex with someone you love more meaningful than sex with someone you just met, it's the culmination of emotions that connect the two of you during it.

You're projecting because you're unable to find it possible that someone else could have high confidence, self esteem, and value despite having casual sex strictly because YOU can't imagine YOURSELF having these values while performing these acts. That's textbook projection. You aren't everyone in the world. It's not for you, and I respect that, I'm not going to poke any holes into your lifestyle. So don't try inserting yourself into mine and speaking on my behalf, because you aren't me nor any of the girls I fuck.

Anon let me get something through your fucking pedophilic head.

The age of consent in the U.S is based on the psychological maturity of the engaging parties. It's not an arbitrary number.
You're trying to compare apples to oranges to justify having sex with a minor. You're despicable and disgusting.

You seem to have never studied psychology or criminal law, so stay out of it. You're committing a crime, it doesn't matter if YOU think it's okay. The state does not.

You're repulsive and honestly the biggest fucking beta I've ever replied to, in my goddamn 9 years using this god-forsaken site.

You cannot fuck a minor, period. I don't give a fuck if you think they're mentally matured. They're not.

Fuck people your own age instead of being a predator that woo's little fucking girls. When you compliment an underage girl on how cute she is, and try to get her to stay with you, that's good grooming.

You're a pedophile and you need to knock it off. I seriously hope you're using a vpn.

Seething. Who hurt you, Anon? Why do you feel the need to finally resort to pulling bogus headcanon out of your ass? I want you to take a second to google your claims, go ahead and actually research if leading psychological studies reflect what your world views are. You may be shocked.While those raging hormones do make for higher attraction to sexual activity, it isn't as if there's anything damaging about ENGAGING in this activity given they're willing and there's no exploitation involved. These laws are set in place not on psychological findings, but moral ground. Even if they were, psychology is still a very new science that's consistently evolving and influenced by social construct. Or are we going to forget that homosexuality was psychologically considered a mental illness until recently, and that there were (ineffective) treatments commonly practiced to "cure" this illness.


I'm not asking my random fucks for ID before letting them into my door. If I'm attracted to them, I'm attracted to them.

If they're up for it, they're up for it and there's no way for me to prove anything so I'm not going to keep myself up at night thinking about it. At the end of the day, we're both wanting it, both enjoying it, and both parting ways after. I'm sure most are my age, but I've no way to confirm. I'm sure there are also some who aren't my age but look like someone in my age group nonetheless, whether that be way older or way younger than my group. I'm not bothering to get into their personal lives, because that's not what casual sex is usually about.

Again, you're projecting here. Nobody is getting hurt. All parties are willing, no parties are going to try digging into each other's personal lives, histories, social experience, etc. There's no commitment, and no coercion.Everything vile you're imagining exists as a projection from your head. At the end of the day, it's two (or more!) people who are doing what we biologically are wired to enjoy doing, safely.

Are we really going to use this argument? This is irrelevant to the topic we're discussing - age has no bearing on the strength or weakness of condoms.

>and the oppressor often finds a way not to use them in the first place

Not me. I'm not risking permanent blue dick just for some fun no matter how much better it would feel. I don't know their ages, so this has no bearing on me. Guys who do this will regardless of age.

>Documentary as primary source

Yikes. Honey, watch some flat-earth documentaries. You clearly need education. Here, I'll be the good guy here and actually link sources that disprove your assumptions (cited).
https://www.nhs.uk/news/lifestyle-and-exercise/casual-sex-can-boost-self-esteem/

Here's one that states what I was before - causality vs causation:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550614537308

tl;dr - if you're the kind of person who's lookin for casual sex, it BOOSTS self esteem. If you're the kind of person who low self esteem already who tries to solve it by having tons of sex, it'll make you feel worse. There's a distinct difference.

>Who's worth more?
>A Virgin vs. A prostitute?

Purity is a subjective construct. Are we going to start bringing The Bible into this conversation or something? To me, virginity has no bearing on one's "purity," it's personality. I don't consider someone "used goods" if they have sexual experience. Again, you're projecting here. You think you've got me in checkmate because you're unable to rationalize that someone can personally feel something different than you on the same subject matter. You feel your opinion is fact because when trying to put yourself into another's shoes, you can't remove your own mental baggage from their circumstances.

You're not making sound points when you're blatantly ignoring what I've already posted.

>^ This is grooming.

No this isn't. This is gauging for mutual attraction. Toga doesn't show interest, you leave it at that and don't force anything. You don't know Toga's age beforehand, you just find her cute and want to give her a shot. You most likely will never find out Toga's age. A lot of your implications come from the assumption that ages are implicitly known, when this whole conversation started from unknown ages only being disclosed after.

Teens have sex. Teens enjoy sex. Teens having sex with someone a little older than them isn't going to be any different than having sex with someone their own age. That trauma comes from power dynamic exploitation.

I don't defend rape. I defend the notion that young adults can and do have and want sex. Sometimes they will want sex with someone out of their age range, and they won't even mention their age. Or they'll lie about their age. If they're already ready to be sexually active (and if they're having no-strings sex at cons, they most likely are very active) then there isn't any harm being done. If a 15 year old has a one night stand with a 15 year old, nobody cares. If they have a one night stand with a 25 year old they've never met, it's suddenly an issue despite all other parameters being identical. By that point, it becomes an emotional plea to find it wrong on a personal level rather than on anything substantial and objective.

There certainly are teens who get exploited and abused. Particularly those who are abused by their caregivers, who are in a position to exert POWER and PRESSURE over then either physically, psychologically, or socially. You won't have anywhere close to this kind of event from a casual one time fuck with someone you don't know and never will know. They have no power over you because they aren't even a part of your life.

All sources you cite will be in regards to children abused and exploited via power do - something not present in this context.

Teens sexually active, seeking sex, and wanting to have fun is an entirely different ball game from those forced or coerced into doing something they are unwilling to do or are conditioned to do.

>>10038951
Because there's literally nothing preventing them from lying. If he wants he can ask for the age next time, but doing so is more often than not pointless. How are you going to check, card everyone you bang? Nobody wants to give out their personal information (name, birthday, address, etc) to a random fuck.

I definitely enjoyed the con too. Did Jojolion and there was a lot of rep and recognition for us, usually it's not this popular which was cool.
Had to leave early on Sunday though bc of monday classes which I already regret. Bought more than I usually do compared to my friends too.

I feel bad for girls who go alone to conventions because it's basically guaranteed some sweaty bearded dude is gonna hit on you.

same, first time at an anime con in nyc and it was really enjoyable, had a much better time here than nycc. however one complaint I would say would be that the game corner of the con needs to be bigger, far too many games had long lines and it felt a bit too cramped with how the layout was.

im defiantly coming back next year for all 3 days

Nice. I'm the one that stepped on your head on Saturday. You shouldn't post your insta or whatever here like they asked, there may be some legit creeps reading this thread who are baiting an opportunity for something. Looks like you got banned anyway though, so don't think you'll even have a chance to. You took it like a champ, just saying.

To be fair the work is done, don't let the thread die. FBI has to check it out first.
