Because half the UK con scene hates the other, most of the hotel con goers hate the cheap and cheerful AL events, everyone says they hate the big expo events on their socials but got to them anyway.

Hotel cons tend to be mired in bad management and drama, Expos have the most resources, and best organised but are tend to be light on good events, or at least events hotel con-goers care about (i.e. panels you can have a sneaky fap to, or parties to daterape someone ((hi dairy)) at) And a lot of people kinda jerk off to the US gaylord events because they have the scale of an expo with the "soul" of a hotel con.

In my day ... it was still chaotic and full of drama but the drama was usually hilarious and handled with out ... well drama. We even got a better quality of mismanagement because when people realised they'd screwed up they would improvise. Like the convention panel that didn't have PA but did have theses wheeled pallets for moving in PA so they turned the panel into cosplay human curling.

>>10879550

I'm not capping the whole thing, but tl;dr the trans brigade are crying victimhood and using it as an excuse to bully everyone else. The Amecon channel is a no-go zone, they're attacking anyone who won't agree with them like a pack of dogs.

People are starting to call out the trans brigade for abusing people, but are having to preface every comment by stating that they're not transphobic, otherwise the mob rips them apart. I don't have a high opinion of committee members and gophers, but they really don't deserve the shit these trannys are throwing at them. They're roasting them for not doing the job of the venue and campus security. I hope they all fall down some stairs.

Having been on the Discord I think safeguarding is an issue at Amecon because the people attending sound like actual retards.

Surprised no one has suggested free tickets to marginalized trans furries yet.

Someone is happy to teach everyone CPR though through a panel because Warwick cannot be trusted and phoning 999 would give everyone a panic attack.

Man, things really fuckin got crazy post covid, hasn't it?
Splitting it halfway with someone does make it fairly modest but that's still enough money to just go into one of the better cons abroad.

The smaller cons are cheaper ofc but there's not much to there and all I see here are people making up drama about (alleged) sex pests and women harassers.

Ukrane is more the blame, massive buisiness cost increases due to energy and such, among other economic hiccups. Plus it's fucking MCM, legitimately just go for the day or one night.

Supply and demand. The craziest part of this whole thing is people are actually paying those prices. But, FOMO is prevalent in the cosplay community.

I've seen people who claim to be "boycotting" MCM on moral grounds (last May had some issues), when really it's personal finance grounds. Others are definitely sick of MCM, and fair play to anyone who's had enough of it and doesn't succumb to the FOMO, but MCM is still this country's largest comic con - somehow.

Megacon London next year looks like a smaller and cheaper event, it's also at Excel, considering going.

please reconsider. they do not go well as often as people say they do. look, i doubt you will listen to me but i have to say this, i cannot read your post and say nothing in good conscience.
Before you do that, do the following things;
Spend 2 months (or more!) off all social media and the internet, as much as you can.
Climb a mountain, if the weather is good, climb another one- experience hardship in nature, camp in bad weather and survive it.
Consider that changing the outside changes NOTHING on the inside, and, if the surgery goes well, after the initial euphoric period fades, you will find that you have the same feeling as you did before, be it either side; desire to be something you are not, or revulsion with your current body, it will return.
Look up the stories of de-transitioners.
Consider also that we all go through phases in life, only difference was, in the past those phases were expressed in less permanent ways; a bad haircut or dodgy wardrobe was easily reversible once you grew and changed as a person because you will, i guarantee you, change over time. I am fundamentally the same person i always was, but I have overcome many insecurities and most importantly; THE WAY I WANT TO EXPRESS MYSELF HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY OVER TIME- and I never thought it would.
do with that information what you will.

Toranoana would've left whether covid happened or not, they had far too much real estate for what was never a very profitable business of selling new doujinshi. Going all online was just common sense for them as much of a shame as it is. The footprint of other doujin stores like Comic ZIN or Surugaya make far more sense than having 7 stories of doujinshi and AV.

This has always been the case though? Animate was always just merch for the latest popular shit, I don't think there has been much change in Akihabara since 2017 besides Sega getting BTFO.

this is your moment anon, this is your chance for character building and courage! only in the face of fear do we have the opportunity to be courageous! you can do it!!!
also why not just taxi-train-taxi? most stations have a taxi rank. that way you'll avoid most people, also do you not get trains much? they are usually the more civilized mode of transport. it's buses where you will get murdered by crackheads, but they do that regardless of how you dress.

yeah just find common ground and spark up conversations, once met an anon cosplaying as kroenen, i knew he'd be my guy the moment i saw him. he was a real oldfag, remembered some memes i hadn't seen for more than a decade.
You have to make the first move, everyone is a shy socially awkward weirdo. having grown up and out of that (mostly) over the years, it makes me smile to talk to shy guys, but not in a derisive way, more like "your fear is unfounded, you have nothing to worry about with me, you can chill, I'm harmless and we are bros".
Don't be afraid to say bye and walk away from people who are in some way or another, beyond help, if you start a conversation but then realise "oh acctually this guy is fucked up and maybe retarded".
I've been to one after party and i found it to be less social somehow ??? and the music was shit normie crap, they played like one or two anime theme songs and that's it. I am going to try and host my own secret alternate after party and play fucking eurobeat and high energy video game music.

Spoke with security. Apparently MegaCon did not obtain the licence/permission/whatever that would let congoers shoot on Excel grounds anywhere outside of MegaCon's own halls. When MCM rent Excel, they rent the whole venue, so no issues. Even people vlogging with "professional cameras" on the concourse bit in the middle were allegedly stopped by security.

I think because in the end no one cares about British cosplayers as they do with the Americans or other parts. Teens proposing each other and doing "family play" is as ancient as the first cons and weebs.

I think aside from "this one is a nonce" and the one who won the world cosplay with a piece made by her father I did not see much.

Ah yeah and never forget the one who had a shop and scammed everyone to go to japan with their BF but that one is in Lolcowfarm and the post hasnt been updated in a while.

What kind of subhuman would do that? How the hell would you even get your basic hygiene done. Let alone some privacy and security

And Im not talking about moid "hygiene".

>> No.10900821

>>10900787

Well you can always clean yourself in the sink in the toilet like they do in some asian countries. You could also have toilettes and rubbing alcohol like some people do in camping grounds in concerts. There is many ways to be creative to keep your higiene, security will be always there in the airport and well yeah the problem would be the privacy.

Is all about being creative and to be honest how many nights you might spend like that 1 or 2? If you really are going for just the saturday then you can just go to the fox and afterwards just go to the airport and pretend you are waiting for a flight the next morning.

People think sleeping outside is dangerous and bla bla bla, when in reality that area is void of anything relatively dangerous.

The only problem would be either getting wet or being kicked out of the airport. But if you still insist in security, you can always step into long bus rides overnight or use the tube as well as in a saturday it will be on all night.

You can keep your stuff in the cloakroom area of the con for safety as this can be left overnight and collected the Sunday when you leave.

Like I said, is all about being creative. I rather be subhuman for a night or two and keep 800 £ in my pocket than trade it for an overpriced room. Extra points if you have a car and you can park it somewhere closeby.

i think there's a different level of what is and isn't a sign of predatory behavior among anime fans. context is very important. liking school aged girls in school settings is different than liking a character who may be a teen but looks the same as an adult that's not in a teen setting. age doesn't really factor in in the latter. same way someone may think a stranger is attractive without having context about their age, like at a con or in public. totally different than going to a high school and gawking at kids. obviously there are predatory people in this category but it's not the norm. where as someone lusting over kids in a school setting is basically always going to be into teens/kids. and i say this as a woman, not to defend paedos, but to point out that there's a disconnect between characters who's age isn't an integral aspect of their characterization.

Remember the good old days where the tickets would sell out in under 10 mins? If you weren't there overloading the servers by mashing F5 you'd have no chance.

What's the Kita ticket status like? How many have they sold?

Covid made things less popular. People grew old. But this person has a hang up on how fast things sell out and uses that as a way of pre judging events, using metrics that aren’t relevant post covid. They did this last time for the previous kita etc
