Plans, cosplay progress, if you are going to be running panels or tabling at a con and want people to know or want suggestions, also for people who want to run off-season/non-con meets without using failbook, e.g. "i'm running a tea party in Birmingham on the 27th of november, hit me up on discord/whatever"

Hibana is too comfy for 'excitement' imo. Also too far away at this point, feels like a vast conless desert between now and November.

After going to a con in the UK do you go out to eat curry, kebabs, Italian food, Greek food or fish & chips?
That's a lot more variety than food places we have in the U.S. near cons.

This but unironically.

Cosplay used to be good before the internet. Yeah there were thot cosplayers before we even knew what they were. But you just interacted with them as normal human beings. There was no expectation that you have to orbit at a certain level to talk to anyone who so much as wears a push up bra.
Cosplay has always been a female centric hobby, so incels saying women are ruining cosplay is hyperbole. But what's actually happened is the wrong kind of women have become the most popular cosplayers and have negatively damaged the image and spirit of cosplay so they can chase money, validation and fame.

Scottish anon reporting here from MCM Scotland, with "what should you expect next month at the MCM that actually matters"

MHA, the number of annoying young fans has somehow got even larger, every group is a clone of every other group with the same characters, and odds are you'll get shoved out the way by at least one group who are running around thinking tag is an appropriate con floor activity.
Fat Thor's everywhere. Wigs, Mjolnirs/Stormbreaker, or even actually getting his clothing slightly similar are all apparently optional.
Suicide Squad Harleys are back in force because of Birds of Prey.
Stranger Things, the main kids being cosplayed by fully grown adult cosplayers everywhere, added cringe in that we spotted at least 3 creepy "sexy/all grown up" versions of Eleven.
Terrible Pennywise costumes or amazing ones. No in-between. All of them are the new Deadpool in that they think "this costume lets me be a cunt,"

The Sheffield con was good but I did have a few issues. The con was promoted to be for all ages. But a lot of stalls sold some pretty lewd merch and it wasn't necessarily hidden. You could seen it even in passing. And then the dub the anime part also had cosplayers making lewd voice overs despite staff warning them to keep it PG. Then one of the last clips they showed was lewd itself. I also reported a guy at the con for looking under my daughters skirt but apparently there was nothing they could do.

Isn't it the case where if you get a registration you have a 2 week period in which to pay it before your spot opens up to the waiting list?

Especially considering I know of people on the waiting list.

>> No.10269643

news flash, no anime event sells out in the first day, not ame, not kita, not even ayacon. The tickets get snapped up, but there’s always a payment window, then once people elapse, the waiting list bods get a shot at those tickets until all are paid. It takes about 3 months to fully sell out. but realistically most events get 95-99% paid up within the first month. with a handful of unpaids switching hands for months leading up to the event.

Thing is she'd asked people on her facebook page if this would be considered blackface, people told her it would and she should avoid doing it, and she did it anyway. And it says explicitly in the competition rules that qualifiers don't have to have the same rules as the finals but your finals costume has to follow the finals rules even if it passed the qualifiers rules. So she should have known to also check the finals rules, which do forbid "offensive use of makeup". And sure, it's not technically makeup, but you'd have to be willfully ignorant to believe it's somehow a valid loophole to use painted silicone rather than paint your face directly.

That may be true, but it's not the same as it being the consensus. Just because the majority think one thing doesn't mean they're right.

This is a hot button issue now but the dust will settle and in time I believe people will see this as a positive move from Eurocosplay.

She isn't blackfacing, she is a cosplaying a character who happen to be black. Same way half the community cosplay asian character from manga, or some black cosplayer cosplay as white character. Or women cosplay as male character/man cosplay as female character.
The whole idea of cosplay to become someone else ; if you could only cosplay as someone of your gender, frame and skin color, that would be boring shit, and nobody would cosplay as elf, orc or shit like that. People just have a
discognitive mentality with this because they can't seems to understand you can cosplay as something not to make fun of it (like Blackface was, wich is not JUST a makeup, but also a context and a attitude aka acting like the racist cliche of the "dumb nigger" ) but because you genuily like it.

>> No.10269684

Here's a concept: you can cosplay a black character without making your skin, real or silicone, black. There are great cosplays by white people of Pyke, Tiana, Storm, Barret, where they didn't make themselves look anything other than white, and they're still recognizable and still honor the characters they cosplay as. If she had made those great prosthetics in her own skin color, it would all have been fine and dandy, but she chose to make them darker despite knowing it would be perceived as blackface and people would be offended. That was her choice. And as a white person she doesn't get to decide that blackface doesn't carry racist stigma anymore. When someone tells you you're hurting them, you can't decide that you don't. What you can decide is to be considerate and respectful, and just make a small change to what you're doing in order to stop hurting them.

But blackpeople can, and surprise, many of them say it dosn't bother them, even when she won French championship. It's only when she became finalist for a big tournament that the wolfs came out of the wood. Maybe because half of the spite is motivated by jealousy.
Why would SOME black people judgement weight more than others ? Because they are more thin-skinned ?

She wouldn't have to redo the whole thing, or do you think issues of blackface apply to the boots and scarf? The most that she'd have to do would be to paint the prosthetics a different color, which while there's a bit of work to be done there is absolutely possible in the time she has left, and would not have taken any more time if she had listened to the advice she'd requested, read the competition rules in advance, and made it in her skin tone in the first place. She willfully ignored concerns about blackface that were pointed out to her before she made the costume, I don't feel bad that she now has a limited time to do it.

That's not an excuse, it's normal when the qualifier and the finals don't have the exact same rules to read both and make sure you have a costume that is eligible to enter the finals if the costume you qualified in isn't.

Amecon still, haven't sold out on just 600 places. If you check the registration IDs when you register they've had just 853 registrations. It was 838 registered a week back. My earlier account can pay which indicates at least 250 have dropped off and that new registrations are less than TWO PER DAY now. Are they even going to sell all their places at this rate?

I doubt it is. Just the same person making the same posts about “omg xxx has only xyz, that doesn't look good?” Like the other anon said. Payment windows.

In 2003 I went to one of the ayacons. The max membership was 600 but only 582 came. My day was ruined! It haunts me to this day. Not even a can of crisp monster energy ultra can take away the pain of the knowledge that I must have been deluding myself that I had fun despite the con not selling out. I don’t think I can be alone again. Hold me anons....

I wasn't mike btw. Just saying all well for them to shout "we've sold out" when they really aren't. I don't mind the odd exaggeration here and there but I'd rather know if an event is sold out properly or just them trying to make themselves look big and hard.

Okay, I'm of the opinion that cosplayers in general shouldn't make money and should only do cosplay for fun. Due to the parasocial element that's blighting something that's meant to be a hobby of self expression. But in terms of "service" provided, most togs I've worked with just shoot on their overpriced camera and don't even use any lighting or background aids. Then they hold up your photos whilst making "edits" that change nothing visibly about the photo. I'm not paying for that. Fuck off, Carlos.

I'd much rather pay a professional tog for a proper shoot than deal with some gross 40-50 year old creep who came to stare at CosThot tits.

Then again it all just seems a big waste of money for something I feel should just be an enthusiast hobby.
