Were/are any of you guys at/going to Eirtakon this year? Pic related, a bunch of random people who all happened to be cosplaying as different Avengers got together for a few photos.

>> No.6402117

Wasn't at it/won't be going, but I'd love to see some pictures if anybody has any! I've seen the ones on the official Eirtakon page, but does anyone have any more?

>> No.6402179

Is anyone else kind of getting tired of Irish cons? especially with regards cosplay. There's maybe 3 or 4 great cosplays and the rest are pretty meh, and it seems like it's going downhill. At first there was a fun factor for me just seeing cosplay in general, the colourful atmosphere was great.

Events are usually rubbish too, though I guess there's only so much you can do without people who are really into it. And of course there's the usual drama/bitching/bullying behind the scenes. Starting to feel too old for it - is it time I just moved on and left this stuff to the younger generation?

I need to see more people cosplaying cool/obscure stuff and you don't get that here. I'd go to English cons but I like to go to cons to actually meet people. It's not quite worth it JUST for the cosplay gawking.

>> No.6402196

>>6402179
The quality of the cosplays is what bothers me the most, to be honest. I mean, I know it's all supposed to be for fun, but it kills me to see all these half-assed cosplays/J-fashion attempts. There are decent cosplays, of course, before anyone jumps down my throat, but don't even try to pretend that the good outweighs the bad.

>> No.6402288

>>6402196

I'm fine with the bad outweighing the good somewhat; but when you actually have to spend half an hour walking around before you see a decent cosplay it's frustrating.

At the same time I can understand it's a sign of the times - cosplay is expensive. But character choice has a lot to do with it too. There are a lot of simple, awesome cosplays people could do.

Having done a first actual cosplay, I guess I got the high of running around and getting asked for pictures.

Bump with a question.

Anyone got a pic of the white mage? Her costume was really cute and quite well done. I liked her wig/hair choice (couldn't tell if it was a wig or real hair tbh) and her overall costume was quite simple, but pretty nice and had the right amount of flareout that I expected from an FF white mage. I liked her staff (I can't do props for shit, so I liked everyone's props in general).

No, I wasn't White Mage for the record.

Can't say. Not on 4chan anyway. There people here who do not like me and it'll be a mess.

Taking pictures of a lolita in public, like just on the street might be rude, depending on the person (I hate it). Since it's everyday clothes for us and we get sick of comments and attention (i don't wear it for attention despite what most people think, I hate the attention). But I think a lolita going to an anime con would be rude to refuse photos as that's such a big part of cons. If it was a lolita only convention or event then that's a different scenario again but there is none like that in ireland afaik.

tl;dr: at a con=not rude, on the street=maybe rude. you should ask them next time

Not as lolita myself, but as far as I know, a lot of the Irish girls are pretty wary about posting themselves online these days, so you probably won't find much. Not really got any clue what the standard is like either because it all looks the same to me.

Looking at these pictures I'm really glad I didn't go. No offense to anyone who gives it a go, but I am starting to get really bored of cosplay.

I think for me it's not so much about the quality of the cosplay, but the choice of character, or how clever it is if it's a variant sort of cosplay. When I first went to cons, I enjoyed the spectacle; and just wandering around seeing what cosplay I'd recognise. Sometimes looking through pictures of cons I'd missed would be similar, but not with these.

The only ones I've seen I really liked were the Marisa and Terra/FF6 cosplays. One thing that's cool about cosplay is that it can be a good conversation point for people as you know you have a common interest. I'm looking at these and thinking; who would I end up talking to? I mostly just go to cons to meet people, but it's mostly kids and reddit-ish types these days.

I wish there was a better way to meet people as cons can be very hectic and awkward, plus I don't particularly like the sort of people who end up running them.

Maybe I'll take a year or two out of cons and see if things improve(especially on the cosplay front).

Well there's two Lolita groups in Ireland so it really depends on which group you run in to and how you act towards them.

>> No.6404623

>>6404598
Just saw that you know about the two groups, ugh, it's too late for me to try to make sense.

But yeah, hear say isn't really that reliable, because one of the groups has blamed the other for posting stuff on /cgl/ on occasion, although it usually ends up being related to an individual of the aquatic feline variety. Anyway, from actual experience, one group is in the fashion for the fun, members generally attend cons (from what I've seen) and might come across as a bit weeby, but are good at heart if you don't get caught in their drama. The other group are a bit quiet and try to stay out the spotlight. They take the fashion a little more seriously as far as presentation goes. Most of the members aren't big con-goers and are mostly just into the fashion. Any I've met have seemed lovely.

It's not right for anyone to tar all members of either group with the same brush, but the reputations don't come from nowhere. I'm sure it's no worse than any other lolita group in the world, there's always going to be some bitches and itas. but in such a small country it's hard to avoid people who are making drama (like with the con scene, if you have drama with someone its really hard to avoid them). Maybe in a few years when there are more groups or bigger groups it will get better.

>> No.6404751

>>6404709
Yeah, maybe! Oh well, I guess it shouldn't really bother me, anyway, because I know for a fact that nobody (save for two or three people who I really like) in the con scene knows who the hell I am, so I can't have done anything horrible.

I was cosplaying at Eirtakon, and I certainly thought the standard was much higher then previous years. Given that the cosplay community is so small in Ireland, its great that we have the amazing cosplayers we have.

Agreed, and my friends are inclined to agree as well. There were quite a few decent cosplays this year and a few really good ones that stood out. I'm quite glad I chose to come this year.

Didn't go to the con, but you were one of the only cosplayers that stood out to me when looking through the pics, so kudos. Big fan of the pre-PSX Final Fantasies, especially Terra. Wig looked great in particular.

Aw, thanks! It was my first 'actual' cosplay (barring the shitty cosplays I made for halloween when I was a weeb teen) - I'm just so glad it got well received. I know right now I don't really have the skills to do her justice like some of the cosplayers do, but hopefully I can revisit it sometime in the future when I'm improved.

And thanks for the advice. I do believe I went there at Eirtakon, so I guess I just wait now. I'm not too sad about the photos actually - my biggest regret really was not interacting with strangers enough and sticking to my own group of friends. Ah well, next time I suppose.

I think we need a proper forum that's not associated with any of the cons, and for it to keep active. Meeting new people at cons is very daunting. It'd make it a lot easier to meet people. Eirta & Nom forums were good in the day but drifted away. Combining all the cons and general anime fans into one would be a good idea.

Refuse to use boards.ie since it's awful and I think it's a horrible habit to keep nearly every Irish forum in the same place.

There's a couple of facebook groups though. Look for Cosplay, Anime & Manga fans. There was a new page set up recently too though I forget the name of it. Anyone remember what it was called?

I don't tend to like forums much because of all the bullshit but I've seen a lot of that carry over onto Facebook anyway, because being a dick is kind of accepted people now hide behinds groups of friends instead of anonymity.

But I think a forum can be useful if done right. I don't like Facebook being used for everything. In theory it cracks down on anonymous trolls, but as I explained earlier it doesn't really work like that anymore.

Something like a Tinychat might be cool too.

I actually think the potential for bullshit is much higher with Facebook. It's a lot more "instant" than a forum, so it's easier for people to fly off the handle and start stupid arguments. Cliques can be more of a problem in forums, but like you said, it's happening on Facebook now as well. Wouldn't mind a Tinychat either, though.

Serious cliques going on a lot of the facebook pages/groups, actually. See a lot of the same faces on them. And it's hard to complain about a lot of their behaviour without "causing drama". Someone brought up rape jokes in the last thread, that's a huge issue. The con scene is becoming increasingly unwelcome for the sorts of people that once sought refuge in it. Too many "Bros" looking for their escapism and not particularly caring about that of others.

He seemed cool at first but turned out to be a bit of a twat after that. He banned someone from the group, dunno who it was, and people were sort of celebrating it. I pointed out it was sort of an unbrony thing to do, then he starts attacking me over it, saying he doesn't take bans lightly, then, hilariously, bans me as well because he "didn't know what else to do". Makes some snarky remarks about it when I try to contact him.

Try to talk to him about it at Akuma(after someone else in the group started sending me abusive messages on facebook, not quite as bold there, but when I get home I get these emails accusing me of "playing games", when I was clearly a nervous wreck at the con.

Heard of a couple of other people having problems with the Brony group too, but only friends of friends. I know there's a couple of furries in the group now who are pretty bitchy too(I don't mind furries in general, just these particular ones). Some of them really creep me out too, and I'm not creeped out easily. I don't really know why, I don't have a problem with the "little girls show" thing. I wonder how many of the Irish group are cloppers.

The problem is I got my hopes up about that fandom and thought it'd be better than the rest of the con-scene, and it wasn't. It's full of the same dicks under the illusion of "love and tolerance". I think a lot of people had the same issue; when the fandom first started out it seemed so different to everything else, and much friendlier, but it turned into an illusion. You get a lot of disillusioned people who are fans of the show but won't call themselves "Bronies".

Nobody told me what it was about and I still don't like the attitude of having a song and dance about someone being banned as I've seen where that's lead to on countless forums.

If someone like that is gone, it should be reward enough in of itself. Ideally we'd just all be able to get on and nobody would be assholes or creeps.

I would cheer with my friends if some people ended up banned from certain places(Cal & friends for example), but I wouldn't have a public song and dance on the same page it happened. It just sets a nasty precedent. Again it would just be better if people got along in the first place, it's not nice when that has to happen. I especially don't like these most of the little cults that obsess over people and celebrate their misgivings.

Either way Barry was a massive dick about it and just came across as not being able to take any challenge to his actions at all. I only dropped a small reply asking what happened and saying even if it had to be done, I don't think it's very brony-like to celebrate banning someone.

That's not how it works. You don't say "I'm not transphobic" and then post an image using the fact that someone doesn't have the correct genitalia against them. That is transphobic; it is a hateful comment to make towards a trans person, it uses their situation against them. If I was not trans, that image would not exist. I would be far less open to abuse - hell I might not even have stood out amongst the other aspies. Moreover the image gallery you're taking it from is amazingly transphobic.

Do you want me to post it on a transgender messageboard just to confirm it? Though the last time I did, one of your mates thought it would be hilarious to go over their "trolling" people. Not transphobic at all.

If it's not about whether or not I'm trans, then don't make it about that. Because you sort of are. Making fun of panic attacks and shit like that isn't any better either. I don't get your reasoning for calling me a cunt, when I've seen what people like you and your mates have gotten up to. If you think I'm a bad person, set a better example, because I don't sink to those lows to attack people. Otherwise fuck off.

Because I've retracted from the con scene some of these jerks have moved onto other targets, and it's getting old.

And obviously, you can't even read.

People are so convinced they're oh-so-progressive in the con scene that they can't possibly be transphobic(or sexist for that matter) - you have people dressing up as all kinds of shit, so why would anyone be like that? There are people who've outright said this. It's also *really uncool* to tell a trans person, who statistically is more likely to meet with sexual violence, that they don't have to "worry" about rape, because people will stay away from them.

There's such a misunderstanding of what it actually means and the kind of shit you get for being trans. Not everyone has the same experience too, so as long as there's one trans person with a positive experience - they'll use them against you.

Even though they'd be disgusted with those images too. And if they aren't they're not worth having as allies.

I said I retracted, I wasn't at Nom or Eirta and won't be at Akuma most likely, and haven't been particularly visible in the associated forms, FBs etc. I'm considering going to one of the cons next year.

Considering you're a person that lies and uses transphobic image macros, I think you should be the person to fuck off, as I initially suggested.

As far as I can see your comment is a hit against trans issues in general, especially the tumblr comment. You come off as trying to make excuses for why you don't have to be considerate of other people situation, which is something you have to do in *real life* all of the time.

You're basically saying I shouldn't raise any trans issues with relation to the con scene because YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN. Meanwhile, if there's someone who's too scared to go to a con because of how they might be perceived - fuck them right?

>Also, if this whole post is supposed to seem threatening, I'm laughing pretty hard here. I guess I'll see you at akumakon, then

If you're trying to look threatening towards me when you're being anonymous, that's pretty cowardly son.

You had no reason to post that other than to jump on a hate bandwagon. Unless I've glared at you personally - only barely knowing you - in which case I'm sorry for your troubles and that's totally comparable to my own issues.

They make the thread about me even when I'm not there. Me not posting does't make them stop, it's a self sustaining thing. Replying actually limits the shit spreading somewhat since they have to focus on what's actually being said.

Not the anon you're replying to, just passing by, but:

Last year, when you had that massive shitfit and tried to start a hate campaign against Sharon when one of her friends poked you with a stick on facebook.

Also, there's all the times you harassed young teenage girls for daring to disagree with your opinion, and the suicide threats. People in glass houses...

Who dubbed her one of the best at cosplaying in Ireland? She's ran the cosplay stuff with Eirtakon for , well since I can remember and for some reason she has this title of best cosplayer in Ireland?! That is bullshit. I don't think I've seen her ever win anything. She has maybe 3 cosplays? Rei being the main one that she just switched up with normal clothes. And can we comment on the faces she pulls in pictures? Girl, smile, it helps.

Anyway, its not fair to dub her as one of the best in Irish cosplay, there are far better cosplayers, like Fiona from Eirtakon, shes brill. Yeah Amy goes out there, makes cosplay events, the cosplay Ireland stuff, and gets out to photo shoots, but that doesn't make her one of the best.

Also it was her on here that time, she just blamed her sister to try cover it all up.

To be fair, I can understand why she probably doesn't want to, or can even smile for photos. I've an awful case of bitch face too and when asked to pose for a photo, it brings out the worst in me. Literally cannot smile and my face looks like a slapped arse.

She's a nice girl and she works hard, but she's really not the brightest at all. And her cosplays are seriously average at best. But at least she's trying, I'll give her that much.

That was fucking painful to watch, face sucking on stage is not a replacement for actual content or comedy. If you tried that shit at a UK con you'd get boo'd off pretty quickly.

>> No.6435618

Really don't understand all the hating on Amy, she's pretty cool. It's not as if she ACTS like she's Irelands top cosplayer or whatnot and she organises a lot of cool stuff for cosplayers all over Ireland.

I thought the panels at this years Eirka were a much higher standard then the year before, cos last year was a joke! I was half tempted not to go this year in case it was the same disappointment as last year... but gratefully that didn't happen!

>> No.6436760

Not to be a big old prude, I think public displays of affection like that should be allowed in the skits as I'm pretty sure there were a lot of minors at Eirtakon, like 6 year old minors were about.
Also watching it was painful I think it just for them to get a kick out of making out on stage.

She seems very meticulous and pays attention to details with her construction, at the very least. It really shows too.

I'll presume you meant to say "shouldn't be allowed"? Regardless, the official line from them would be "the entire con is PG-13 owing to the parent/guardian restriction" or something like that.

I'm indifferent as to whether stuff like that should be allowed or not, just as long as it doesn't win.

Oh my god, these people are all like 12 years old. What the fuck? Is this what Cosplaying in Ireland in general is like?
