Secondhand embarrassment

[Anonymous No.6776200]

So Con season is upon us. Are their people you are dreading on seeing while on your cosplay and con adventures? What about people who made you shudder in the past? Those types you know must exist at every con? Those people that always cling off you and cause severe amounts of second hand embarrassment?
Let's share!

>That one cosplayer that wants to organize groups/cosplay groups/Hotel rooms but can't plan to save themselves and things always fall through.
>That one guy/girl who always lets their boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend tag along in con hotel rooms to stay the night/weekend and they get away with paying no cash towards the room for the extra person.
>That person who tags along and always complains about having 'no money' and trying to scab food.
>That one person who had a ton of money to spend but spend it all on merch on the first day leaving them with no food or transport money for the rest of the con. (Who then tag along and always complains about having 'no money' and trying to scab food.)
>That one hotel room mate that uses all your supplies and eats all your food.
>That one roomie who doesn't shower the entire con weekend.
>That one crossplayer that cosplays Mpreg! versions of things. (bonus if they are saying your character is their babies daddy)

[Anonymous No.6776207]

>That one cosplayer that has their own FB page but makes cosplays out of what she finds in her wardrobe and a cheap party wig.
>And then she sends a FB request to like her page.
>She has a youtube account.

>Overhearing "it's only authentic manga if it comes from Japan, I'm not going to buy anything that doesn't have Japanese names in the credits". Followed mere minutes afterwards by "Want to see the manga I'm working on? Hopefully it will be made into an anime one day, if I can 'network' and 'get noticed' when I'm living in Japan"
>Their manga has a shitty derivative storyline about magic ninjas in a fantasy world
>The art is shitty and you can't tell what's going on. Also the speech balloons are hand-lettered (because that's the "correct" way to do it, or at least it's the "correct" way to do it if you are competent at hand-lettering, which they aren't), but the signs on buildings (in comic sans) are typed, then awkwardly tilted in an attempt to match up with the perspective.
>And god help you if you critique it, no matter how politely or constructively, and are not actually Osamu Tezuka himself.
>LOL J/K, they won't have a clue who Osamu Tezuka is. Anything from before 1998 is "hella old" and therefore not worth bothering with.

I had a girl in my local cosplay comm spamming about how much she hated Disney and how it wasn't fair that it was more popular than anime. Some other girl commented and said that Osamu Tezuka was inspired by Snow White and that a lot of anime got origins from Western animation.

The weeb girl threw a huge fit, started crying and said she didn't know who Tezuka was and 'she's been drawing animu and mango for like ten years!1!'

God it was just awful to watch it go down.

There's this creepy as fuck guy that I know from uni, and for the most part I can avoid him on campus. But when I run into him at a con...he starts following me everywhere at a distance. Really creepy as fuck.

And I don't mean this guy is creepy because he smells bad or something. He threatened to blow his brains out with a gun he said he had in his dorm if I didn't hang out with him. Campus safety did nothing, assholes.

Why? Because no one did anything about it? That shit is unreal to me, too. I reported him to both campus security and the campus counseling center at residential life. They never got back to me, and he's still allowed to live on campus. I know I'm not the only person who reported him either.

Every other day for me - more often does bad things for my skin and hair.

But yeah, during a con, walking around all day, maybe the weather or building temp isn't the best, maybe you're dancing at the rave or in the game room, might even be wearing a cosplay for more than one day? Even if you don't normally shower that often, you're probably going to need it.

It's not weird. If you're in a hotel then you've already paid for the hot water, and you're changing more often that normal, wearing more make up than normal, some times wearing something that fits awkwardly or too many layers for the season, plus wigs, and you're surrounded by more people than normal. I know I shower each morning and after every costume change, even though I normally only shower once a day, sometimes once every two days.

[Anonymous No.6784319]

Ahahaha remember that one time Jebus of /a/ booked a hotel room for a group of like 7 people
and forgot to get the con discount so the room was more expensive than it should've been
and he also booked the wrong sized room
so it was 7 people were crammed in a tiny room with one king bed

Oh yeah and he does pretty much everything else OP greentexted except for cosplaying mpreg, but even that would be a step up from running around in a Cartman costume he bought at a Halloween shop

same here. I have a quick shower for every change I do. It freshens you up, keeps your cosplay from getting rank, gives you a chance to redo make up and reapply deodorant.
On a hot day it cools you off and on a cold day it warms you up. The hot water is endless and you paid for it already, so why not?

Though, I once went to a panel about bad fanfiction and that was greatly entertaining. It sounded like these were serious fans though.

[Anonymous No.6786898]

>>6786887
The one who hosted the mpreg panel is actually a good friend of mine. I agree though, mpreg is quite a touchy thing still and should be left as a more personal thing to discuss. I believe that she specifically asks to have to panel be at night for that reason. While I won't defend her for her choice of a panel, I will let it be known that she's not a screeching weaboo.

I hate to say it, but this guy is right. Using soap and shampoo on your body every single day means stripping your skin of its own special oils - so even if you slather on lotion afterward, you're aging your skin faster than usual. Also, a lot of people have discovered that the less they shower, the less they need to shower, and even smell less/have less greasy hair...
