I stupidly let a lolita I met at a tea party at another con room with me for (con redacted). I was planning to stay at the hotel alone, but she asked if I had room for another. I said sure, why not, it'll save me money. Big mistake. This bitch complained that the hotel I picked "sucked", hogged the bathroom for so long I barely had time to shower before we set out for the convention, woke up to make baked fucking potatoes at 3am slamming the damn microwave and robbing me of sleep. Oh, and then ditched me in a dark parking lot before the BTSSB model call at 6am and I had to have some furries help me find where I was supposed to go. Fun!!!

Had a roommate steal my designer shirt from me one year to only return it the next year with bleach stains,it had shrunk, and had pilling all though out it. “Oh by the way there is bleach stains and some other stains on it, sorry bout it”
Had to throw the shirt out.
Room mate also brought tiny toy figures from the dollar store and scattered them all over con, cuz teehee funny! She was mid thirties and a mother. She declared herself “the big toddler” proudly. Acted like a child the whole con because that was “her cosplay/character” or some bullshit.
I heard complaints form hotel staff and attendees alike about the stupid figures. People at that point just started collecting them to throw them away.
Later she and her friend think it was so funny to scream-sing loudly at 3am in the hallway then barge open the door to the room where I was trying to sleep. Didn’t fall asleep the rest of the night because she choose to take a shower and sang in the shower loudly. Woke up next morning to find the shower blue and all the towels used up and blue. Her shit hair dye came out and ruined the whole bathroom. Left me to clean up her mess. But the bathtub still was stained blue. I was so dead and done with her shit that I just waited till she and her friend left for the con to go ask for new towels so I could shower in the blue tub and get ready in peace. Horrible con that year for me.

Never again did I room with them. Nor will I.

From when I was young and stupid:

>Unable to room with friends at Youmacon 2014. Can only stay one night instead of the whole weekend.
>Ask on the official con forum if anyone can put me up for one night. Someone responds, let’s call him A.
>A says he has floor space and we agree on a set amount to pay him.
>Day of con arrives. Meet up with A after getting my badge to pay him my share of the room.
>First warning sign was that he tried to weasel out of giving me my change. “I thought you were nice and paying me extra.” No, we agreed on a set amount and that's it.
>Find out A is not staying in the actual room but acting as “room head.” He is staying in another room.
>A lectures me on room rules like a little kid who had never been to an anime con before and to follow them or be evicted.
>A takes me to the room and starts bitching about how messy it is.
>5 people are staying in the room and it's honestly not that bad. I’ve stayed in messier con hotel rooms over the years.
>I get my room key from A and go off to enjoy the con, but not before I see A take two boxes of pocky that don't belong to him.
>Later that night I head back to the room to get some sleep and this is when I meet fellow my roommates, who are pretty cool.
>We all share our experiences with A and agree that he is a dick and possibly autistic.
>Find out that A was being a creeper towards one of the roommates, let’s call her M.
>M is asexual and clearly not interested in A. M talks about how A kept hitting on her and trying to touch her when she was trying to arrange her stuff in the room.

>A starts pestering me to room with him again at future cons. I politely turn him down. After the experiences I've had I want nothing further to do with him after the con.
>A then starts whining about people not talking to him in his room and how he wants to spend the night in this room instead.
>He just wants an excuse to creep on M.
>Luckily my fellow roommates arrive and shut his idea down.
>I then have to wait for A to leave so I can give my key to one of my roommates because I don't want him to get it.
>A dicks around in the room for 20 minutes trying to make awkward conversation while the roommates are trying to change and get their stuff together.
>A finally leaves the room so I give the roommates my key and leave.

Stayed at a hotel room paid for by my dude friend's parents, seperate rooms for girls and guys, pretty normal considering we were all teens at the time. The only girls he cared about were me (his best buddy) and his girlfriend, but he told us we could invite whatever friends we we want. so the setup was
>Room 1 (girls)
one of my friends
his girlfriend
a couple of his girlfriend's friends
>Room 2 (boys)
my dude friend and his friends

dude friend's girlfriend kept using our room to have fucking GANGBANGS with all of his dude friends behind his back, as well as inviting random men from the convention back to the hotel room to fuck.
By day 2, everyone has walked in on her doing the old bump and grind with a different man at least once, then hiding under the covers and pretending they were "just cuddling"

One dude she kept fucking refused to leave the hotel room in order to let us change into our cosplays. We had an intervention, and by that time even her friends were fucking pissed with her for being a whore. we told her people don't cuddle like that, we all know its bullshit, that's insanely disrespectful to her boyfriend, so on. She told us we were all mean bitches, then left the room to stay in some random guy's room that night.

after the convention, I told my dude friend that he should be careful around her, because I don't want him to get hurt. He told me I was a sack of shit, his girlfriend loves him, told me he didn't want to be friends anymore. I didn't tell him about the cheating.

skip to a few months later, completely different convention. Whore sees me in an anime convention, and makes a scene. "FUCK YOU! I LOST MY BOYFRIEND AND FRIENDS BECAUSE OF YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOUUU!" turns out her friends dropped her because of her con thotting, her boyfriend eventually found out about the cheating, and she decided to blame me. The situation escalates, she shoves me, and I honestly just deck her in the face out of reflex. 1/2

>> No.10410260

>>10410256
she called for her friends (all the men she was fucking at the time) to help her because I'm a mean girl who tired to hurt her, and they end up all holding me down while she claws at my eyes, pulls out my hair, and just beats on me as I'm struggling to get free. eventually convention security pulls her off of me, and onlookers who have seen the whole thing took my side, but due to the conflict we both got kicked out.

I DO have pictures of my wounds and scratched up bloody face from this, but I'm a bit wary of posting them on 4chan (people actually tried to dox me the first time I posted them for whatever reason)

This girl was so pissed at me, that after that event, she started stalking me and setting out her guys to try to attack me, it was a bit surreal. If I was at the mall, I'd see her and the guys she was fucking would start walking at me, if I was at the park? see her, guys would start walking at me. In all honesty, the whole ordeal was traumatic. I was in the process of getting a restraining order, but ended up moving so she's no longer an issue.

This tool place years ago at fanimecon in San Jose. I had to call in a favor because I forgot to get a hotel. I forgot because I was in the navy and it slipped my mind. I had a few other things I had to worry about. I decided to call a friend for a favor and asked if i could stay with her and her boyfriend. She said yes and spent the entire time regretting it. She would nonstop talk shit about her boyfriend when he wasnt around. He had other issues to deal with, that made him sad. She would call him a "tampon marine", because he was a reservist in the marine corp. Even though she never served a day in her life. She did fuck a lot of military guys though or guys slated for boot. She would also cuddle with some random guy I've never met and would talk about fucking his brother. I knew the guys brother, because he and I graduated high school together. She just treated him like garbage and later broke up with him. Was stressful.

>Whenever I feel bad for leaving them in the room while I go meet up with friends and invite them along, they just bring the fucking mood down, turn a lot of conversations into complaining about something or try to steer a conversation into a pity party for themselves

Back at Katsu I was invited to dinner and joined them, we wasted hours waiting for a table and when I wanted to leave because I wanted to see other friends instead of waste more hours, they started giving me a pretty bad attitude instead of just saying "alright problem see u later :)" Noped outta there, and I guess this was the breaking point as I haven't talked to any of them sans one or two of the people I actually like sincr. I'm done, some of the reasons I keep rooming with them is because I feel bad since they're not the best financially and my departure means it'll be harder for them to pay for the room. Also saying "I'm out" is hard.

Those people just sound like your average toxic pricks to me. Can't let others have nice things because they don't "deserve" it, can't let others have bad things as they had it "worse". Throw them together and they only enable eachother's shitty behaviour. Bonus points if despite all the shit they say they can't handle anyone criticising them and will never let go of ancient shit.

Good on you for cutting them out of your life. I did the same a few years back and every event I've been to has been so much better ever since. No more constant negativity, gossiping or nagging about your mental issues. Now it's just the happy squad sincerely enjoying a convention and having a good time.

I have two really bad rooming experiences so I'll post this one first and see how it goes.

I was a minor at the time (this is important later) and this was my first time at this specific con since it was local to where my then-boyfriend lived. I was excited to see/meet him irl for the first time. We were rooming with a bunch of his friends and I was the youngest (most of them were 21+, some almost there and bf was 18/19 I think)

Anyways, most of the first day went pretty well, nothing too big in my memory that stuck out to me
Saturday I remember that my bf kept going places and dipping suddenly. Ok whatever that's okay his roommates were pretty nice to me and we talked and got along. I remember eventually almost all of the people in the room had come in for a bit (minus bf) and then left for a smoke break. I stayed behind since I thought it wouldn't take long and am asthmatic so I left the little lock thing in the door so they could just come back in whenever they got back.

After about an hour I hear some people come in as I was washing my hands in the bathroom and when I open the door it was one of the room mates that neither the other people nor I knew really well had come in with a couple of guys and girls about my age or a little older, all already pretty wasted. At the time my anxiety was at an all time high and being in a room of drunk men holding drunk girls on their laps all while trying to get me to drink made me REALLY uncomfortable.

I excused myself to the hallway and tried to call my boyfriend. No response. texted him. No response. I tried calling one of the other people in the room and they answered and told me to go back in and keep texting them. I went back in and waited for them to come back, which very soon after they showed up with a bunch of other people to kick them all out and eventually comforted me.

Still no sign of boyfriend. After almost calming down completely he comes back, (ehh I'm gonna have to make this 1/2 sorry)

>> No.10411878

>>10411874
(2/2 hopefully)
He comes back, and basically pushes me off when I give him a hug, grabs more booze, and leaves without saying much. I get told don't worry about it much by others, since he was taking Molly (at the time I thought it was just weed).

Later on I meet up with him again and try and hang out, but he refused to hold my hand and instead held someone elses right next to me. We were either heading to our room or someone elses where there were more people I had never met before. We were all talking around in a circle and he looks over at me and asks in front of everyone "you mind if I kiss all these people?" at that time I had I hard time telling people no and being asked in front of a group of people I didn't want to come off rude so I told him okay, though it hurt to see him kiss a whole bunch of strangers when he didn't even want to hold my hand.

Sunday he was planning on wearing a specific cosplay that could be couple cosplay so I ended up making a cosplay to surprise him so we could wear them together. I got ready and was really excited to show him since my mom and I worked really hard on getting it done on time. He seemed pretty shocked (I later found out from friends that he was mad at me for doing this).

We go down to the vendor's hall and kinda guilt trips me into buying about $100-150 worth of stuff and the con pretty much wraps up from there. I get home and tell him I had a great time and enjoyed seeing him. No response for about a week or 2 and when he does message me its to break up.

In hindsight, I feel kinda stupid with some of the decisions I made, but I think I'm a lot more secure in who I am now and I'm in a loving relationship and haven't spoken to him much since. Sorry if some of this seems kinda weary my memory isn't the best!

One roommate complained about the rest of us on her facebook. On friends only, no filter, when we were friends with her. On night 1.

Friend of mine who hadn't contacted me in a while because of some kind of issue with gf decides he wants to try and be pals again. Attempt to give gf benefit of the doubt. This is clearly not the correct decision and can only really remember spending a little while with them as I was busy with other friends.
The real horror was the gf literally chasing my sibling down the fucking street without warning and they fell and ripped a part of their costume because the nutjob after the gf and my friend decided they needed to talk alone for a while.

Once when i was still relatively young
I went to a cons masqurade party where a girl immediately introduced herself then decided to stick her hand up my skirt. I had known her for all of 3 seconds. I got felt up in the literal center of the dance floor and i was so scared that i completely froze up. A group of ouran host club cafe event cosplayers immediately stepped in and one of them (cosplaying as Soul at the time) asked me to dance just so i would be harrassed. The girl continually tried to tip toe back around to me during the night until she finally list intrest. Blackroom Soul cosplayer if your out there I owe you big time.

I joined a last minute group to go to a larger con last year. All but one of the people I had met previously, but the last guy was an extreme aspie. Highlights included:
Freaking out about having lettuce on his taco from taco bell after he said "no veggies"
Deliberately freaking out and fucking up his wig because "the people at the cosplay help desk will fix it"
Waking the rest of the roommates up at 5 a.m. (we hadn't got back to our offsite hotel until about 3) by screaming bloody murder because he was having a night terror or some shit

This is the biggest fucking lie I've ever heard please tell me this is bait.

The amount of sweaty Japanese dudes I had to smell on the train when I lived there in summer was astounding. And many other women wear excessive quantities of perfumes and scented products (basically every cheap skin or beauty product is often scented but it's always a heavy floral perfume scent and rarely nice to me). You can find deodorant, and more people, especially dudes should be wearing it desu.

Its not uwu magical nipponese sweat genes its a genetic difference in East asians and native Americans vs everyone else
https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/gory-details/what-your-earwax-says-about-your-ancestry
The same earwax type gene controls for the armpit odor causing bacteria. Yes even if you have dry ear wax and no sweat bacteria you'll still smell if you're unwashed or super sweaty, but you won't have that particular stank. And that's why armpit deodorant is not a popular product but those skin refreshing sheets are everywhere because the summers are misery.

Also one year I roomed with a girl who was a friend of my sisters so I said ok and after she used the shower there was some kind of grayish residue (not a homestuck) I just one can't imagine someone's skin being that dirty and two, why wouldn't they rinse the shower for the next person

>M was also late paying for the hotel costs and only wanted to pay 1/4 because they only slept there for one night and had to sleep on a sleeping mat

Could have been worse. After that I've decided to not sneak extra guests in a room to cut costs. I would rather pay the full price than deal with all that stuff again.
Also to make clear agreements before the con and pick roommates more carefully. M was not a bad person but having a party animal as roommate while the rest wants to sleep is not a good idea.

>Yes I did. I thought for a second he was refusing to pay
Before the con I said if they wanted payment in cash since my paypal got fucked in a purchase that never shipped. Basically said I could pay in cash if they wanted, but during some shared group chat messages they were talking about picking up booze. Since I was driving to the con and had booze/snacks available, said If I gave them about the equivalent of the room for the floor space I wanted. After some quick discussion my offer to bring about 4 bottles of booze+snacks and agree to order pizza; all was agreed. I lived up to all of it and didn't think much of it till I was heading to my car with some others, the room owner(actual one) was staying another night to sleep off shit.

I don't like to room with others, but the con was a last second thing since I didn't realize I'd have time off and only about 2ish weeks before hand I figured I could actually do it.Dunno what that anons problem was but apparently cons after I heard that dude became a massive asshole who couldn't tell the truth if it was said at him with proof. Maybe it was because I didn't pay the full room cost since I was only asking for floor space?

The people who never worked a fucking day in their life think 30 is too old, which is about 70% I'd say of CGL. I've been cosplaying since I was 26, so about 10 years now and been working since I was 17 or so. Why is this important? because maintaining, and having a job puts a fuck load into perspective on life.

16-25, really care about cosplay as they have a ton of free time and can focus a lot on it. People just wearing those aliexpress, etsy, or ebay shits are cringe because "lol how do you not have time to do cosplay it's my focus"
21-26, depending when you got a job and if you work don't mind as much often just want a drink+laugh and a silly time, most 'annoying drunks' stories found here though
25/26+ usually chill couples or people who generally take cosplay light heartedly or at least know how to have fun. I don't think I've met anyone past 26(unless those thots banking off mens lust or weird NEETs).

Dunno why but I usually think if you know the value of money, you also know the value of time. Most of the insufferable people I've met at cons live with their parents either working below part time or not at all paying no bills/rent, then are completely detached from most of the people there. I know this comes off preachy but so fucking tired of hearing how to live my life when all I want to do is spend 3-4 days dressed as an idiot and chill with people.

The people who never worked a fucking day in their life think 30 is too old, which is about 70% I'd say of CGL. I've been cosplaying since I was 26, so about 10 years now and been working since I was 17 or so. Why is this important? because maintaining, and having a job puts a fuck load into perspective on life.

I feel this. Me and the boyz still hit up cons, 28 to 31. We all have real jobs and we do lighter cosplay stuff. Zabuza, Constantine, simple stuff. It's a fun getaway, we drink yeah but not blackout level. Too old for that and it's no fun to be a sloppy drunk, or take care of one.
Plus, with financial responsibility comes a total lack of drama. It is wonderful.

Finally hit the right groove for cons right before it all shut down. But ideal situation for me (30 F cosplayer make enough to room solo but kind of frugal and lonely) 4ppl max to a room, everyone gets a keycard. Usually all cosplay friends so we are getting up early and going to sleep early. Everyone has real jobs and pay well in advance. We all gtfo on time and tip housekeeping. Take turns ordering delivery for people who want to eat. It was comfy and now I miss my friends

I know a guy that met a girl while at the friday cosplay at anime north and had a similar situation. They hit it off well when I met up with them after the cosplay event as I was at a panel while they were at the friday cosplay.

So ta the dance later that night she says she's looking for a room as she's like 1.5hrs away by transit and sying she can't stay long. My buddy offers her to room with us to help split the costs down more. Ugh...

1. Bitch hogs washroom

2. I almost wanted to grab her phone and throw it at the wall as she didn't turn off the volume at night and you keep getting facebook/twitter notification alerts and a bunch of text message...like WTF BITCH!?!? People are sleeping yo.

3. Get shorted on payment for Friday night and getting vibes she might bail without paying but my buddy is deaf to my feels on the situation as he's into the girl and I also didn't want to cockblock as well. She says she'll pay up on Sat. afternoon but didn''t but buddy had a one nightstand romp with her which is good for him but I'm still fucked the half payment on the hotel room instead of split 3 way.

Was supposed to go to anime north this year but the con obviously got canceled due to corona and that whole thing has kinda caused a rift in our friendship.

You can still take those classes. I was in your shoes before. Quit and worked full time and just making money to make ends meet and a little left (not much ) to tuck away for entertainment or save it for a con. I missed taking classes in college and would often have dreams of being in class only to wake up to the alarm clock blaring for me to get up to go to work.

I decided to save up more so I could start taking some classes part time. Spring was coming up and the temps were warming up and I used to camp a lot when I was scouts. I lived near a revine. Sold most of my stuff and went back home around Easter to my parents place to pick up some of my old backpacking gear. Bought a cheap mossy oak tarp from Princess Auto and some camo netting from a surplus shop and just setup a low profile camp hidden in the woods. The tarp and the netting broke up the barren scenary at the time as the trees and foliage were just starting to come back.

Thankfully never had a bump in the night or run ins with bush parties tho I've heard and seen some people having a few drinks before in the woods but no one ever saw me thankfully.Stayed that way for months till October going home to my parents a couple times to change seasonal sleeping bags and dodge questions of what I was doing with my gear other then saying going for a few camping trips. Saved enough to take some courses in the fall-winter time as I went back to renting again over the winter.

I know this is not for everyone. I was able to get some help to keep some of the costs down by knowing some people which I was able to get some discounts on some stuff. If I was to make a recommendation for anyone wanting to save a chunk of cash during the warmer/hot months is to do that when the foliage has already come into full like in late spring instead of early spring like I did and needing a heavier sleeping bag. I highly recommend cheap surplus camo netting and cheap camo tarp. It breaks up your outline well.

Not going to go about age arguement, but the people who work vs those who don't work annoys me more. People who do the 9-5 grind in some way treat cons completely distant of those who don't.

Huge factors at least for me come from those who work, and look at cons as a kick back and relax deal. Not justifying or defending anyone getting drunk like a frat house then being annoying ass the whole time at the con, but there are people who genuinely don't get a lot of time off and want to relax

>> No.10423781

And just to be perfectly clear, I have no problems with people who choose not to drink or really invest their time into cons, cosplay, and the time spent at them. That's completely fine as it's your hobby and life style, but understand that there are about 10-20 thousand other people all with different walks of life. For me conventions are the best kind of mini vacation I can look forward through the year, along with a bunch of other people I know who after the weekly 9-5 want a weekend to go look completely silly and break from the normal society, if those people want to grab a beer to help forget about the bullshit the week prior fine. If someone is being a drunken retard harrassing people like in a college frat house where someone just opened the keg, then go tell them to fuck the shit off.

The first time i went to Anime Expo i was super poor so i took one of those "floor spot" roomshares. Got there and it was this really nerdy, arrogant asian dude (shoutout to my asian bros but this dude was obviously a ricecel), his annoying friend, a super fat bitch, and a dude who was like 37 who kept acting like he was a bigshot coke dealer. The fat chick kept talking about her Facebook Roleplaying groupchat and all the dudes acted super interested in it because they were thirsty (not trying to be an ass but this chick was a solid 3/10 with the saggiest tits ive ever seen, and she kept her unwashed cringey kigurumi unzipped halfway so they were in full view).
First morning i was woken up at 4AM by all of them because the asian dude wanted as many autograph meet n' greet tickets as he could get. Rude but whatever i was up for an adventure i guess; turned out to hardly be an adventure and i stood in line with these retards for 2 hours.

Went back, got dressed and didnt see them all day on purpose despite them texting me. Went back that night to get ready for an afterparty and got dressed during an awkward moment when the Asian dude was hitting on the fat bitch to the point he put his hand on her leg lol, she was not interested at all. 2awkward4me so i booked it to the party. Hit it off with a qt azn chick and i went back to her room after the party was over, was going to stay with her the rest of the time (never do casual stuff like that but i was very mentally unwell at the time due to NEETdom). Texted the roomies that i was going to be gone for the night and shit, then the asian dude texted back that they found the weed in my bag (wtf went through my bag?) and said i wasnt welcome back anyways, they put my shit in the hall. So i had to try to venture back to the other hotel while shitfaced and then BACK to the girl's hotel. The rest of the time was great but they would each text me at least 10 times every day afterwards saying that they were sorry they overreacted and to come back lol.

One time at AX over a decade ago my brother and I did a roomshare with a man I will call S. We agreed to price and everything before the event 6 people in the room, two on each bed two on the floor. When we show up on on day zero S is no where to be found and not replying to text or emails. Three hours later after our agreed meeting time he texts hes on his way.

We find out he renting three rooms, and when the other people showed up early he collected their money ( the money for the rooms) and went and got Korean BBQ. Which is why he was late for our arranged meeting time. ( During the 3 hours I tried and failed to find a new room or hotel). S then proceeds to rearrange the rooms ( we were told who we were rooming with pre con) so all the females were in his room. Three of the ladies leave the next day because of how creepy he is.

My new roommates are fine but now there are 8 people in our room and one of them we will call A is creeping the others out because he doesn't talk or respond to any verbal queues he just stares. He is clearly on the spectrum. I have three brothers with mental disabilities, so I have no issues with A but he gets moved to our room which puts us at 9 people I bring up that I agreed to six people to a room and now there are 9 I advised S needs to return money to the people in our room he says he will one he figures out what he owes everyone he never does. the first night in the hotel S keep coming into the room Evey hour or so in the middle of the night I'm a light sleeper and am on the floor by the door I wake up and ask him what he wants he says he wants to make sure the room is safe since it's his name on it. He does this 4 more times. I tell the people in the room in the morning and we asked for the room key as we think is creepy and don't want people having access to our stuff he agrees and gives us his key to our room.

We go to day one I decide to head back to the room before lunch to drop off some of the merch 1/2

I head out I came back around 8/9 aclock at night on day with my brother ready to crash for the day and S has his room door open he is having a room party and he had a female that was staying in our room completely trashed in his room, she was slurring her speech couldn't stand. I go and drop my stuff in my room and go back to S room and walk in and just stand there with my arm folded staring at him and his three friends. They asked if I wanted a drink. I said no I said I was just waiting for *** so I could lock my rooms door for the night. They tried to say she be fine in his room. And I didn't need to lock the door I didn't reply I justed stared I'm 6'4 279lbs so they weren't going to be able to make me leave. Then S has the balls to say she needs something in her mouth, and I flat out asked him want does she need in her mouth and he goes quiet and looks down and he suggests she goes back to our room at which point me and my brother had to let her lean on our shoulder to walk to rooms two doors down.

Never understood it, I stay active and don't drink too much while trying to eat healthy, I've seen balding overweight smoking 25 year olds looking mid 30's. just know one day you'll hit thirty and probably still have fond memories of cosplay, if not cosplay yourself just realize how dumb you look bitching about others.

The only person I know how is promiscious is a really fat girl who never brushed her teeth. Her teeth had green buildup. Her finger nails always had black buildup on them and she only wore flip flops ever.
She has a series of mental illnesses and was sexually assaulted as a child.

I'm all about sex positivity but people who are sex addicted or promiscious especially at a young age usually have some serious damage. I don't want to say to avoid whores, but extremely promiscious people have a bad rap for a reason.

I love my best friend like a brother I never had. I really do. But at Katsucon this year after the Saturday rave he brought a cosplayer he met back to our shared air bnb and I'm certain the two of them fucked on the couch in the living room while I was passed out drunk on the air mattress in the adjacent bedroom because I woke up before him and found a condom wrapper on the floor and just quietly put it in the trashcan and never brought it up. Also on the drive home he told me that said cosplayer was married. He also told me that him and the cosplayer talked until 5am so he thinks I don't know that they boned.

And if you finally gathered the courage to stand up to her, she would immediately cut off all contact and go to every mutual friend and spread nasty rumors about you.

>had BPD
>nevery acted anything like that
According to my therapist most BPD stems from living in abusive situations, its something abusers pass down, so you have to fight and unlearn it. After escaping my abusive situation, i no longer show any signs of BPD.
When I was in an abusive situation and did show signs of BPD those signs were shown by me getting too attached to people I just met and bending over backwards for their happiness. So in that case, that opened me up to abuse from people I just met too.

There are different kinds of behavior when it comes to BPD and im glad to have moved passed it, but to stereotype BPD as only the most negative type of behavior makes me uncomfortable.
I never told people I dated that I had BPD when I did have it due to the stigma, and no one could tell either. To them I was just a "insanely dedicated girlfriend who never got upset with them no matter what"

>> No.10445326

>>10445321
A tldr is my BPD just opened me up for abuse.
My mother told me I'd never find love because of it, and if I expressed disdain at her shitty parenting (beating me for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting beat, getting locked in my room and let out only when she felt like it) she would go "youre just crazy, im an ideal parent, you just have BPD"
She preferred that the people I dated were the same amount of crazy as her, and she told my exes I have BPD to try to help them put me in my place.
My former boyfriend stole $200 from me, and when I yelled at him he said "youre just being crazy, this is the BPD thing your mom told me about, isnt it"

Turns out getting away from abusers will make me look a lot more sane and like im not getting pissed for no reason. Either way, fuck people that use mental illnesses as a cover up for their shit behavior, and fuck people that stereotype people with mental illnesses assuming they are all on the same level of terrible.

Sweat isn't what makes you smell bad, the bacteria living in your skin folds is. And everyone in the entire world has those bacteria. Even if you don't sweat a lot, the bacteria give you BO. And inversely, someone can sweat a lot, and as long as they're showering and actually cleaning themselves, the skin bacteria stay at enough of a minimum that they don't smell. And you may have gotten the confusion that you don't need to bathe every day from the fact that your HAIR doesn't need to be washed every day. But your body definitely does. You can wrap up your hair and jump in the shower for 5 minutes with a bar of soap and be much better off for it.

By the way, your boyfriend is either being nice or his sense of smell is shot from being around you too much. I guarantee you reek and people can probably identify the places you've recently been by the trail of odor you leave. People like you are the reason cons have to beg their attendees to shower every day and use deodorant. But this is probably gonna fall on deaf ears cause you quite literally think your shit don't stink. Just please stay away from me if we're ever at a con together lmao.

Different anon and I hate to bring race up into this but some races and genetics actually do smell less than others. It's a genetic thing, same with the amount of ear wax produced. You're not wrong, but that anon could very well not smell for a while. I can go two days without a shower before smelling if I'm not on my period. The reason I know is because of my co-workers. About 10 of us sit in a closed off room with no windows sitting at computers and when someone smells, we ALL know it and not afraid to speak up to each other about it. The girls made an agreement with each other to speak up if one of us smells so that we can take care of it.

This is a trash opinion. At this point, many congoers are pretty much lifers - & they've been going for 10+ years. Are they just supposed to not have fun anymore?

I'm 29 & felt WAY too old at a Danganropa photoshoot. While dressed as Miu Iruma, nervouse as shit about getting involved, I talked to a photographer who was probably 17-18. Said I was nervous as shit because I was so much older. He looked at me, dead square in the eyes & said "You're no less valid than anyone else here." And MAAAN that helped alot.

>Friend is at con while his girlfriend stayed home.
>She calls him constantly the first night
>Second night she calls him at 3am when all of us are asleep.

>I had been waiting for anyone else to say something
>Hang up the fucking phone we're trying to sleep finally comes out of my mouth.
>He gets up and walks outside to talk to her and stays out till like 7am.
He didn't think it was a big deal, rest of my friends were all waiting to see who snapped first. My husband said he could feel the anger radiating off of me (had been woken up by same friend at husbands house before cause he was playing wow battlegrounds at 4am and woke me up)

Other time
>First time entering cosplay masquarade, as Ryoko with a handmade Ryo-okkie plush.
>Set it near laptop because I know it's safe there
>Night before masqurade friends get drunk
>Wake up next morning and go to turn on laptop-red puddle under it
>Lift up laptop and it's dripping wet with energy drink, can left right next to it.
>Start freaking out, husband freaks out since it's his gaming laptop and drinks weren't allowed near it anyway as a hotel rule
>Drunk friend doesn't remember knocking over drink
>Sober friend who is an idiot "Oh I tried to clean it up"
>Fucker there is a puddle under it you didn't try
>Finally see Ryo-okkie plush's paws are stained bright red as well.
>Legit start to lose it and scream into a pillow.
>Other friends make idiot friend help go get breakfast

Believe it or not if you work out and stay active you can look mid 20's well into life, I mean shit look at Tom Cruise. Dude is like going on 60 and looks mid-early 30's. I'd see justification in callouts if there was something to support them lying about age, but it's a fault by a girl from a girl and issue spread by an individual.

NGL women suck at telling mens age, that's not an incel/pol remark that's just how it fucking is.

This begs the question, since been there done that. When I host a room i never charge full rate, I usually ask for 20-25/night that you plan to use it for.

Are you saying that for say two nights at a con you would charge someone $50 to stay with you? In my experience that would just be very generous

I've always divided the full cost of the room including parking and taxes/fees evenly among each person staying. I still do this with the three friends I go to every con with and I did it when I hosted rooms for people off coscom or Facebook (which I never do anymore). Getting a decent amount of cash, especially a fair share, is just good insurance in case you get that one asshole who makes your life hell for whatever reason for the weekend (destroys the room with makeup, covers the place with their shit, comes back sloshed at 4am, etc.). It also causes unnecessary drama if person A finds out that person B is only paying $X because "they brought the booze" when person A paid $XX+ instead. I've never truly hosted a party room, but I've brought alcohol and had others provide their own if they want to drink.

I don't think you get how seriously some of those Asian girls take their skintones. It's normal for them to keep long-sleeved cardigans in their cars so that they can over their arms from the sun while driving. Chinese tourists in sunny countries will walk around in long sleeves and floppy hats on top of sunscreen to avoid being tanned.

There's even questions posted on chinese forums asking whether UV rays from light tubes and computer screens will give girls tans and whether girls should wear sunscreen indoors.

Their "normal" state is to prioritise staying out of sun the same way other people prioritise breathing or eating. Their "enthusiastic" skincare attitude is to overdo sunscreens, whitening lotions and staying indoors the same way weebs overdo the Naruto run.

So I recently bought a used box truck similar to this one. My plan was to turn this into my convention survival stealth vehicle. I'm turning the back into a cozy room. Bed, minifridge, sink, tv, solar power and a generator, the works. I've already bolted the rolling door shut and cut a new door in the cabin that leads into the back using and angle grinder, that way I can lock the doors and get into the back without having to get out of the van.

The idea is that I'd drive it to a convention, park within walking distance of the con during the day, then at night drive it to the nearest 24-hour gym where I have a membership. No tickets for over night parking, and I can use the gym to shower and take a shit if I need to. Then lock down and cozy up in my private rolling one person room. An RV or a camper van would be easier probably, but this feels more discreet and I can do it up however I like. It'll be a while before it's fully safe and ready to use, but it'll be worth it. And I'll never have to deal with horror stories like these ever again.

This is going to be my spicy hot take but here it goes:

Lolita's at con's simply don't fit in or work, they just don't belong there. They have nothing to come together on or meet about other than just being in a dress they made. Oh top shit someone has a 1 hour passive aggressive convo about how, how they went to Joann hancock over hobby lobby and didn't use etsy, is so fucking amazing glad it has it's own room for drunks to sit and rest in while 5 people care. Oh cool a tea party, can't wait for every fucking lolita to bitch about dumb bullshit that doesn't fuckin matter.

Lolita's basically have nothing to centralize with at cons, point of reference, or ability to be anything but their dress which they are showing off for fashion, not for "hey is that a Rem/Chaika/(girl of the season who wears a petticaot)?". So basically anything and everything will result in a 'triggering' event about how awful and hellish everyone is if they don't get x/y/z exactly right or that's not how they envisioned it to be. Bottle this up for all the effort going into a dress + 1000's of people at a con getting noticed and basically not them, just fuck my shit up anon. You are basically walking on eggshells at this point. The straw that breaks the camels back at this point is someone who doesn't take the event, probably the few if not only time of the year the can show it off, seriously for others. So someone cracking open some beers to chill back and laugh about their aliexpress or ebay cosplay about how silly shit it is and laughing it off like nothing. This is where shit always goes south, and blows up and makes drama. Girls can be chill to room with, 12 tho fuck it unless you plan some orgy or shit, but like 2 lolita's is way too many.

Moved down from OR to LA, met up with cgl the past 2 years. simply 2-3 lolita's some how ruin shit, about how crap cosplay was or X was SO BAD because Y, the amount of simps defending them against anything just boggled my mind.

The lolita culture as it stands today is so sub-fractured and echo chamber'd to the point that unless you have a very specific comm(s) you are meeting up with you're like going to have a meh to okay time at best.

Also, nah I've never met a lolita that wasn't batshit insane needing constant simps to re-enforce their shitty dress and design choices like I've met in California. You all seem to be in your own league of stupid. I've never, ever seen a lolita community that clings so heavily to groups of males fore defense and assurance that their dumb shit walmart looking ass dresses need justification.

This post >>10472245
Basically spells it out on shit, I don't know exactly what you want to hear unless you are a lolita who wants attention. Every other cosplay at a convention generally has a focal point, regardless how loose it is to that there is still some commonality. To basically anyone who is not into jfashion/lolita culture or using the con as a comm meetup, yeah someone lone wolfing it or flying it solo is probably going to get irked hard. Scrolling up the thread, and from personal exp, it's on par with things seen.

Misusing the word incel just makes you look like a moody anon who's example you clearly seem to be making for the thread, like it or not.

Oh, okay I see where you are going. But that has nothing to do with incel anything, I am not sure if you know what that term means....

In reference to >>10472245
>how they went to Joann hancock over hobby lobby and didn't use etsy
Yeah that's a fair statement, not sure how you are misreading that since the post, thread, and replies are clearly referring to the kinds of "lolita's" that are "lolita's" at con's only and have 0 comm connections, or anything like the such. That's pretty obvious, not sure why anyone would need that pointed out in a thread about con room horror stories. This isn't Local comm horror stories or tea party disasters, so again not sure where you are going into this.

The people who are doing lolita for cons, and the kinds that actively will go meetups or willing to share rooms with people who drink are what this thread is talking about.

At this point you have essentially proved every gripe about lolita's for con meets or room shares correct. You simply do not understand the situation going on and forcing yourself into it, congrats.

You sound like you'd fit right in at DragonCon if you haven't been already. You can get booze just by saying hi to someone. For a guy like myself that worked all throughout the year, DC was the one time where I got to sit back and relax with some drinks and absolutely be with other friends who felt the same as I did. I am in no way going to let someone, roomie or not...tell me how I'm going to spend MY time if It's not affecting them in the slightest. Get the fuck OUTTA here with that.

Get the fuck outta here with that shit. Some of the warmest moments I've felt was seeing older people, obviously in fifties and sixties going to cons. I regret not asking this much older dark skinned lady her story when I saw her in a CVS one night because I can only pray I can make it to her age and still enjoy the kind of things she was obviously into (at least from the pins she was wearing anyway)

You should certainly make the conscious decision to come then. On one hand, we have no idea what conventions will be like post-COVID, but on the other hand, this is a place that pulls in people from all around the world stretched out across multiple hotels. I know that other all-day-all-night cons like this exist like MagFest but DC has always been my jam since I been going.

>how they will jump to a females defence so easily
Against another woman? Hitting a girl, even one who deserves it, is one of the biggest social taboos a man can commit. Most men are even reluctant to fight back when a woman is attacking them. If anything jumping into the fight might open YOU up to being attacked by male bystanders for being the asshole who started swinging at girls.
Granted the situation was weird because it was a large mixed group ganging up on a woman (with the woman of the group doing most of the hitting from the sound of it) so the onlookers probably just defaulted to >>10452505

Kind of a unique story here. I play FF14 and work in an ERP brothel. A lot of the male/female courtesans are actually super mature/good about not being creeps since we work together regularly and deal with the general populace ingame.

However, everyone should have known getting anywhere near each other in RL would be an issue. About a third of the group met up for the Las Vegas convention for the game. One of the more senior courtesans who showed up was not anywhere near as controlled as ingame. Trying to convince the others and even couples who showed up to go back to their room with them. An MtF who seemed to be particularly frustrated and pent up. Who couldn't understand why others were not as interested in them out of the game.

It resulted in a meltdown where they decleared they'd be leaving the FC after the fanfest. Then they felt people didn't care about that enough either. So they want to the server-meetups paperwall and started angrily crossing off the names of their FC mates. They were asked to stop doing this and got into a huge fuss that it wasn't illegal because the signature wall wasn't official from the con and only from the group that gathered there. Security gets called anyway and does ask them to leave for being disruptive. They leave and everything seems fine.

One of the people who was sharing a room with them however, gets to their hotel room and it seems this person has checked out, stole their luggage (in a somewhat funny way, got the bag that had all their clothes but forgot the pouch with all their money). Wrote "Fuck You" on the mirror in lipstick, and left.

The hotel figured out the guys luggage was actually hidden on the same floor behind the ice dispenser, so he got all the clothes back. But wow. What a trip.

Yeah, that's part of why I was not there. Though everyone was talking about what happened. I'm shocked to meet someone else here though, which server are you? I'll be surprised if its not balmung. I'm actually on one of the servers with less RP. I think that gets us some really strange characters compared to even the bigger servers for such stuff.

I was a eurofag for the longest time, and let me tell you it's absolutely dead. Moved to brynhildr recently, and the amount of RP stuff that's on the server, even though it's not Balmung or anything is mind-blowing to me. It's so busy all the time, I really like it honestly.
