I'd like to know more about how different cultural groups in the UK interact with each other. My train of thought was that because irish people and west country people are both drunks, do they share their appreciation and drink the others region based alcohol. The example being the cider called scrumpy with the running joke of it being also called "a pint of making my eyes go blind."

Well there's over 62million people in the UK, and about 4.5million in Ireland, so it's less likely for there to be as many of anything/anyone. That's why we get better tv shows here in the UK, and better stuff in general.

Are there any lolitas at all in Ireland though? I remember seeing some horrid photos from some con last year, but surely there are some who wear the fashion and don't fuck it up?

There's really no drama at all.

I heard from a few people that there was some shit between hotel staff and con goers on the Sunday. People getting kicked out of rooms (probably for ignoring the person per room limit), people blocked from going to their rooms to get their stuff and being interrogated about what they were doing and which room they were going to. Apparently this was directed at just the con goers. I don't know how much of it is true, but I guess it and the hotel staff's general unhelpful attitude throughout the entire weekend (the pub quiz springs to mind) was enough for Nom Con to go to a different hotel.

I've had the feeling that the Helix staff weren't too thrilled with all the younger kids hanging around for the whole weekend.

Also, people from the college it's in say the college wanted to have graduations on the weekend instead of during the week, which meant they were clashing with Eirta, and the college has an enforced priority.

Why is it that the weeaboos of Dublin find it so hard to get along? Not that we should a only have a single con, but it's like >>6785171 said, none of the Irish cons I've been to have been AMAZING. Are the issues so big that it's worth having the quality of all the cons fall?

I don't think it's so much that the weebish masses don't get along, but the Head Weeaboos seem to have a lot of problems with each other and it really fucks things up, we have a bunch of little cons and we don't have even nearly enough people to support them. I think 3-5 cons, not ALL Dublin-based (I know there's Akumakon in Galway but apart from that, almost every single con is in Dublin and it really is just because of silly in-fighting) would be a perfect number for us. I dunno. Fair enough if you want to start a con because you have some good ideas and think you could put in the time and effort to make a great con, but most of these things start with "Fuck so-and-so, I'm gonna make a NEW con and it's gonna be WAY BETTER than this one!" and no real effort goes into the planning of the con.

I don't know, it really annoys me. I get if you're a beginner cosplayers, just learning the ropes and not that great at putting things together yet, but there's a difference between that and not trying at all. I don't care what anyone says, when the character you're cosplaying as has pink hair, you cannot vaguely approximate her hairstyle with your mousy brown hair and call it a day. It does not work like that. Presumably if you're cosplaying, you're doing it voluntarily, hopefully you like it. So why wouldn't you try to do it as well as you can?

What is so different is that Irish culture as a whole kind of seems to encourage mediocrity, like when people fuck up there's an attitude of just saying "lol, typical Ireland amirite" instead of trying to fix it, and it spills over into cosplaying. And if you complain about shitty cosplay outside of /cgl/ you get a bunch of people whinging about how they're "just trying to have fuuuuuuuun".

When I say "for fun", I mean that they just want an excuse to put on the costume and dick around with their friends. Yeah I would like to see people put even a little bit of effort in, but normally they don't bother me. What I don't like is when they enter the walk on cosplay competitions, act like they are hot shit but just look painfully awkward. Normally they clog up the entire event and it takes about half an hour longer than it should. At Eirtakon one year they let these two dickheads with just paper masks on stage who were "cosplaying" as "troll face" and "rage face".

I wish I was joking,

Curious decided to have a look at the Eirtakon Masquerade 20102 on YT and there seem to be couple of not too bad cosplayers there. This might of course be a wrong impression cause of the quality of the actuall vid and the distance.
That girl who lost her slipper... omg! Seriously?
Most of those cosplayers don't even know how to act on stage and they totally look weird running from one side of the stage to the other.

>mfw 80% of Irish cosplays are without basic make-up or using a wig.

I get frustrated in particular because some of the fixes are SO EASY... I'm cosplaying for the very first time at Nom-Con this year, and I am obsessed with having everything look as best as I can.
Having fun is totally awesome, but I personally couldn't have fun if I didn't think I'd put 110% into the cosplay and kept thinking about how shit I looked. Part of it is probably because a lot of con goers are naturally, um, less self-aware than the average person.

Yes. Don't get me wrong, I've been to some truly shit cons in the UK too, but on the whole I've found them to be much better put together with far better cosplayers and with much nicer atmospheres. The Irish cons I've been to (Eirta, Arcade) have just been lackluster. Like someone else said, they seem content to be barely mediocore.

The best part is that none of the conventions would even take any advice/criticism in this thread on board. They deem all /cgl/ threads as "lol trolls xD". Although judging from the lack of improvement over the years, they don't take advice from anyone really.

Wasn't the con supposed to be an "animation" convention, as opposed to an anime convention? Hence Kihyun Ryu has a guest (supervising producer of Legend of Korra). I love how the con is supposed to be about "animation" but they have a shitty traced anime girl on their website banner.

There are quite a few quaility cosplayers in ireland, however most of the good ones just do it for fun to hang out with friends and have very little internet fame. seems that the bad ones are the most vocal and give us a bad name. In terms of conventions, my favourite is Arcade-con, the worst in Nom-Con. I refuse to give them my money again after how terrible last year was.

Terrible is putting it lightly. One way system, pre-reg folks being kept outside in the pouring rain with no cover for several hours, air conditioning broke in trader's hall and the corridors were way too fucking crowded. Even the guests who were trying to do a panel on the Saturday afternoon complained about the noise outside the panel room.

Here's hoping Nom Con can try and pull it together now that they are back at the Ballsbridge. A lot of Nom Con's problems could be sorted with a bit of simple communication. They obviously know how many people have pre-regged and bought tickets, so there is absolutely no excuse for the shitty queue system every year. Hotel wants to implement a one way system? Surely you are told this before the convention, so post it on the forums or FB page. Don't wait until the day of the convention to tell people. It's 2013, guys, wake up and start USING SOCIAL MEDIA. Have someone manning the forums, FB and Twitter pages to answer questions or quell any drama. Eirtakon was really good for this last year. They put up up photos, videos and panel reminders throughout the day. Put things like "nearest cash machine" or "nearby restaurants" in the con booklet, so people don't have to approach the staff who are so stressed out every year and end up snapping and shouting at con goers.

It is really simple things like this that could improve the overall quality of the con. I really want to see Nom Con become a great con, but it's all these little things that let them down year after year.

also they still haven't made any official statement on the missing photoshoot photo fiasco

Aka-con was cack. There was literally no events. People were standing in the hallway completely bored shitless. The traders stood around looking depressed at lack of sales. The pool table in the games room was occupied by aka-con staff instead of letting actual attendees use it. I could have had a leisurely wank for the day and felt more fulfilled.

Personally, I understand any mishap in Nom-Con about the hotel, air-condition and simple management. I just couldn't stand their staff being so rude, especially those checking the badge at entrance. Shouting at attendees, even the adult attendees. I wonder if they were instructed to do so as I saw them mentioning it to a committee member and was given a thumb up. Really? I did not pay to be treated like that.

What's with all the sudden nomcon hate? Last year was ok bar that shit stirring online some of which originated from arcadecon committee. Arcadecon itself was ok last year and crap the year before. I suspect this thread has been hijacked by Declan and his cronnies again who have bitter buthurt towards nom-con for some reason and wants everyone to believe arcadecon is suddenly the promised con where everyones dreams are fulfilled. Anyway give it a rest guys and everyone just go to whatever con and enjoy yourself. None of the cons in Ireland are amazing but are usually a good way to spend the weekend.

Aaaand here it comes. Anytime any form of criticism comes towards Nom Con, it's always "olololol MUST be arcade con trolling xD". I've never been to Arcade Con btw, so I know very little about it.

I posted >>6799519 and I really, really want Nom Con to improve. I think it could be a fantastic convention, honestly. It's just when you see them making simple mistakes over and over again that could easily be rectified. It's disheartening to see a convention not improve at all.

I really like Arcade. I don't like anime and stuff, and that's why Arcade works for me. They don't get most of the weeaboo crowd and it's a nice breath of fresh air. Same goes for Q-con, which is my favourite convention of the year. It's all gaming and just really fun. Akumakon is up there too. Galway convention, small, but super fun. Not the biggest fan of Nom and Eirta, but still tend to go most years.

Eirta, Arcade, Akuma, Brocon and Q Con are well rounded cons. Nomcon can suck my balls. Every year their events never run on time and the staff are consistently rude. Any sort of criticism to them is labelled as trolls from other cons.They need to focus on getting their shit together. Akacon was the worst ive ever been too followed closely by Nomcon last year.

And usually when someone starts bitching about Arcade con it's nom commitee, or else Eirta committee. I can think of at least one who detests Arcade.

Not involved with any convention personally, but love Q-con and Arcade con. I used to like Eirtakon most, and hopefully their venue move will do it the world of good to jump back up. Only been to Nom once and Akuma once so I can't really judge. I had a good time at both but perhaps that was due to the company I had.

It's because they can't get their differences aside and actually work together to come up with a really great con. As I have worked as a minion of the cons for awhile now, I have seen the committee of the Dublin cons argue, leave the staff room as soon as another committee member enters. It's a massive bitch fest. It's mostly the minions that end up running the conventions, at least they can actually agree and get shit done.

Granted there are some posters who do make a good point here and there but you usually have to dig for them and sort them out from people who didn't even actually go to the event.

Not anon you're replying to, but IMO it's pretty easy to see what's bullshit and what is actual constructive criticism. What has actual examples to back it up? What have you seen at cons that you yourself thought could do better that's mirrored in the comments? Was the comment very biased or was it rational and gave reasons for why they didn't like that aspect?

I mean, this is basic essay writing and crit taking. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or an English PhD to see the trolls from comments that could help your event.

Did you even try? Lots of people have given critique before and I've never seen someone targeted before.

Main thing to remember when giving critique on any con is be polite and maybe try offer suggestions. Also bear in mind things that are within the committees control eg the weather and venue issues (hotel restrictions and broken cooling system)

There aren't many stellar cons on the Irish con scene, to be honest. I've been to a lot of cons and just, the ones over here don't particularly wow me, although I have to admit the most fun I had was at Arcade last year. The only Irish con whose panels seemed fun enough to attend.

I wouldn't have gone to Akacon, not for a million euro I know of the 'con director' i'd have rather have sat down for tea and heard catfish's life story than attend that trainwreck.

I think most people forget pretty much all the cons are run by volunteers for free, not that it's any excuse for a terrible event but even a half arsed event requires a phenomenal amount of work. True there is some who do it for the limelight and attention but most just do it for some kind of sadist fun. In short it wouldn't kill people to be nice. These kind of bitchy and incredibly nasty threads on 4chan about the Irish anime scene can only serve to promote hate and damage the scene, far from helping it. If you wanna actually help it then get involved.
From what I've seen most people are pretty nice within the community and feck all drama actually happens at the cons themselves. Most of the drama just seems to originate from a few trolls/internet toughguys and bitter people online in places such as here.

Hi all. I've noticed a lot of petty comments here that offer no constructive criticism and are more so in the way of taking a dig at another convention due to something personal that has happened to you regarding them.
So here i offer, Constructive criticism on the big three.

Nom-Con
------------
- Certain Rude Staff.
- Delayed Events.
- Terrible Games Room.
+ When the events run they are solid
+ Good trading hall selection

Arcade-Con
---------------
- Too many updates
- Gaps in between a lot of events
- Too much focus on the director
+ Friendly Staff
+ Solid Events
+ Awesome games room

Eirtakon
-----------
- Dull Events
- Elitism over choosing staff
- Director has zero charisma
+ Best location
+ Sweet Games Room AND Board Game Room
+Trading Hall <3

Though then again they keep the dregs of the scene like the real weirdos out of the staffing of the con.

Good post, thanks.

I will add that Nom Con seem to have a few communication issues. Last year they didn't post their game tournament schedule until 3 days before the con and that was only after people asked numerous times. Not a huge thing of course but attendees shouldnt have to go pester the person in charge of games on FB. I wonder if the LoL tournament they announced last year will even happen, because that requires a lot of set up and organisation.

Thing is while Fiona is an ok cosplayer (better than Amy) there are much better cosplayers out there such as the winners of the cosplay competitions maybe. Comes off as feeling a bit desperate to get your picture in the paper and promote Eirtakon than represent cosplay in Ireland. Also I hate encouraging people to go into a charity shop or pennys and throw together a cosplay that way or getting the wigs in the joke shop. They look terrible and doesn't really count as making the cosplay.

I'd really like to see some good quality cosplays appear in the newspaper articles. I don't even recognise what Fiona was cosplaying.

At a con it's fine to throw whatever you like on as it's just a bit of fun but with the media cheap looking cosplays shouldn't be used to promote cosplay in ireland. Looking at Fiona's cosplay, the shoes, the gloves and the bat are good but the socks could've done with some lace instead of just a piece of ribbon lazily sewed on, the dress could've done with a petticoat or a bit of wire going around the rim to make it sit out better, the wig looks cheap and too much make-up. Also the pink colours are pretty garish.

I'd love to see some decent cosplays in Ireland. This is just so sad to take part in cosplay competitions and see some shitty cosplay winning. Not mentioning the fact that you just heard backstage that the winner didn't even bother making the costume/prop properly himself or herself. Irish cosplay seems to be all about hot glue and sticky tape. Seriously, people are being encouraged to use crappy methods and shortcuts. Have you ever attened any cosplay panel in Irl? At Eirtakon last year some girls who made Cosplay Experts Panel or something (who the hell was an expert there?!) didn't even bother to show the difference in quality between carefully made and planned cosplay and something made with no care at all.
And also sometimes when I look at how cosplay competitions are being judged it just makes me feel sick. Ireland has not chance in comparision with other countries. Sad, sad, sad...
And last thing, I learned to keep my mouth shut cause everytime I tried to say something I've been attacked with "cosplay is for fun". Yes for fun but at least show you care.

I don't get the big deal about making and not making cosplay. The way i see it, If you look most like the character then you are a better cosplayer. Whether you make it or not. You could spend hours working on a cosplay and yet still not be as good as someone who looks exactly like the character with a store bought costume.

Thats how it is. Its about likeness.

Well, you can't enter a cosplay competition with a costume you didn't make yourself, that's just cheating. Apart from that, I don't see anything in that post which suggests they have anything against bought cosplays? It's not that they've bought their cosplays in, it's that they look shitty. Facially, you could look exactly like whoever you're cosplaying as, but at the end of the day, if your outfit is a piece of shit, it's a piece of shit, and no amount of likeness is going to make you look good.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 1 10:45:57 2013 No.6807366 >>6807356 I agree, the making part is only really important if you want to win a competition, in which case likeness is still important. If you're going to make it then do it right

Nice to know snobbiness still exist. It takes courage to tell someone on their face they look shit in the cosplay.
If you can afford to make it good, don't bother cosplaying at all.
On a side note, there isn't enough make up or cosplay to make you look good if you're hideous on the inside.

Didn't attend Aka, don't know how it turned out, I just know I don't like the 'director' for personal reasons. (aka imo she's a bitch), personally arcade is the bee's knees conwise for me, I like going and partying, and having panels I like to attend. Last Nomcon I went to 'some' of the staff were rude, pricks who acted like almighty arseholes. The only bad thing about arcade is that it needs to decide what con it actually is, like be anime, games or comics whatever, just actually settle on one thing.

Right. Irish conventions, here I go:

Akumakon: Mad craic. Small, but the people are good. Some fun events like fire show, burlesque and other bits. Cool bar, chill atmosphere.

Aka-Con: Pure shit. Nothing happened at all. They had one event where people fed each other ice cream or something. Terribly organized and the traders were telling me they made a serious loss.

Q-Con: Awesome. Great gaming convention, huge open space, super friendly staff and a good atmospthere.

ArcadeCon: Fun convention. Way more focused on comics/sci fi than the other conventions, which is cool. I don't think they should pick one thing to focus on, because they do it all. Social media updates can be annoying as fuck, but overall, fun.

Nom-Con: Shite. It's a weeaboo convention. If you're 13-16, you'll have a blast, but for anyone who's over 18 with a mental stability, don't bother. It's a convention for kids.

Eirtakon: Overall, good experience. Always have a great trade hall and the cosplay standard is quite high. A really cool atmosphere, but not keen on staff.

This felt too forced to set it apart from the others. Like I don't particularly like Arcade either, but at least focusing more on Comics and Games brought in a slightly different crowd.

Animation just isn't big enough in Ireland. If Lorraine was really interested in doing something to raise awareness to the fact that there's "so much amazing animation" out there she would have been better off not doing something like a con.

To be honest, all the cons are run by dickheads, even the smaller ones for the most part. I think the people running Brocon are okay-ish but it's a boring con. I have some experience with some of the people involved with the new Cork con and I'm not impressed either.

I think the problem is that the sort of person that wants to get involved with the con scene isn't the sort of person that actually does the con scene any good. It's not hard to see why there's so much infighting when a lot of the people involved with the cons are unbearable including to each other.

I'm not really sure how to fix this. I feel like we need to get rid all of the cons as-is and just reboot somehow, start over from a clean slate.

Also my main problem with cons at the moment is that they're too mainstream focused and if anything it's only gotten worse. Like @rcade is meant to draw an older crowd and since a gay dude is running it it's meant to be LGBT friendly, but I found it was the sort of Glee watching kind of ditzy crowd it attracted, the younger gays who take everything for granted.

There's little for the older crowd in Ireland, and even if there was a lot of the older crowd are just as immature as the younger. The more decent people I know from the younger crowd are being put off cons for the same reason.

Cons should be fun but it feels like it's a whole load of work for nothing.

People say @rcade is a more "adult" con and I can kind of see that to an extent but I still find the people that tend to go to it pretty immature. It has a stronger clique than the other cons currently do, too, which I don't feel helps it at all.

By "people" you mean the one or two people posting it on 4chan over and over. I've been to them all and the age differences are barely that different. It's not like the kids only go to one while the adults go to the others. Mostly it's the 16-19 crowd that attend them all.

I find arcadecon a bit more desperate to be seen as cool which is why you'll see all the comments on 4chan saying how amazing hoping to convince people in real life that it must be good. Last I was at it there was too much diversity and I was a bit bored most of the time so I have no idea how it's become so popular here on 4chan. Personally I smell bullshit on this thread.

It wasn't unreasonable, though.

If anyone's interested in what happened I wrote up about it here -

http://crystallineprincess.tumblr.com/post/46011945105/irish-cons-and-dudebro-ism

There's a short and a long version in the same post(the short one is first).

At the very least the stuff with Juliana was pretty unacceptable. The reality is that this sort of thing happens a lot in the con scene and makes some people extremely uncomfortable, and there isn't much of a voice for that. For speaking up for that, Declan got half of the con to attack me because the idea of being accused of being involved in any sort of sexism/rape apology was "upsetting" to him personally.

People have made a bit of a mockery of this sort of thing online but people quickly forget that it's still a real issue for real people.

No, my problem was that Declan and Andy *claimed* I was saying that and got people to attack me on that basis, knowing full well I already had a history of bullying in the con scene they could take advantage of. I never said that. I criticised Declan on that basis as given Arcade con made itself out to be more progressive than the other cons, it seemed worrying that they would open the door to abuse such things.

I raised it with him entirely in private, but he reacted very badly to it. Even after we disagreed, I tried making idle conversation but he ended up blocking me. And then there was the whole "Is gaming stuff a man's world? A Man's perspective" thing

The whole thing was handled really badly and showed just how immature the people behind @rcade(con and magazine) are.

I found the con okay, but I'd never go back there now after how badly I was attacked.

Honestly, it's not my fault if you're like this. Trivialising rape has a very real effect on how real rape victims are treated and if you read my explanation you might see how that's the case. One of the same people(Juliana) who was a big fan of Pewdiepie acted poorly around discussion of real life rape. There is a link here. I don't really care what you are and aren't mad about, because being mad if of itself isn't an argument.

You do not speak for all rape victims yourself. You represent what I see as a vested conservative interest in preventing people from questioning anything regarding the status quo.

Not one person I showed this to who had an experience of abuse, or importantly, had worked with several others who have experiences of abuse felt the way you do. I do not see any reason why I would take the advice who represents socially darwinistic values within in the con scene over people I know and trust to be educated on these issues.

Regardless of how sensitive you are or aren't, there are people that ARE sensitive about it, and it's not your place to decide their level of sensitivity. And the worst thing is, due to the nature of it, they rarely ever speak up. Some people I've talked to in private have told me they're scared to say anything because they saw how I was attacked for doing so.

I brought this up originally with Declan in prviate. It wasn't something I was doing or attention or trying to make about me. I was standing up for others. Declan and others misrepresented my argument and encouraged others to target me on the @rcade wall. Regardless of my history, I am allowed to have things I am genuine and care about. I am sorry you do not feel I represent you but I do not feel you are the sort of person I should be associating with regardless.

My personal history has little to do with it - Declan and @rcade as a whole handled this issue very badly and showed a great degree of immaturity. Replies like this don't help their case.

I fail to see why I would take advice from people who call me a "horrid entity" and a he/she/it, who are so blind to their own horrid behaviour.

Honestly, regarding Rape issues, I have found the feminist groups I've been hanging out with to be far more "Positive" than the incessant nastiness in the convention scene. They are focused on something and try to make a difference - it sucks how little support individuals such as myself get when pursuing these issues, but at least they care.

If you really don't think anything "bad" has happened to me then your judgement on these situations is completely unreliable in the first place. I'm not a vapid teenager like some attending these cons, I have real issues outside of what people say to me online. Plus, the point was that I was attacked for raising a concern I had over the safety and well being of others.

It was wrong, and if the only defense people can manage is to criticise me personally then it suggests there's no argument to be had there.

That's not how "first world problems" are meant to be used. A lot of the problems I have are universal. First World Problems are things that happen exclusively in the first world, like having a problem finding a charger for your iPhone, etc.

That's not how it's supposed to work. I don't really have common interests with feminist groups outside of feminism. I and others still have a right to attend these conventions without being hassled by others.

If the committees and staff were more mature it wouldn't be an issue.

I am curious as to what you define as "attacking" you and what you would define as being horrible for someone. I don't think there's anyone else in the scene that draws as much ire as I do.

Honestly, you're an idiot who probably has no clue of these things yourself.

And again, this shouldn't be about me. The problem with what @rcade did is that I had a complaint, and they made it about me and attacked me on the basis of things I didn't actually say.

That is wrong and saying how "fucked up" it is or any of these other red herrings doesn't change that.

It is always about me and how I act with these things. It is never the case that anyone else's behaviour is called into question, no matter how they act. That is where the real problem lies, and this thread makes it evident that the con scene has widespread issues with exactly this sort of bullshit.

Okay, here's the problem here.

Who am I ignoring? the (supposed) rape victim who claims they've moved past it and have no real sensitivities?

If that's the case, why should I care about what they have to say? They can deal.

The only content of their argument is that I shouldn't care about those that can't.

To me this sounds like the typical bullshit of making sure the relatively privileged have at least an equal say in absolutely everything.

As long as there are people that are affected by this bullshit, it will remain an issue. What one person who claims to be a victim on 4chan says is irrelevant. They're one person, just like I am. And when it come to my personal alignment, I will go with those who I find to be more genuine, honest and educated on the subject. If nobody gives me a good reason to do otherwise then I'm under no obligation to change my view.

I have a problem with Pewdiepie being up for reader's choice, it being a site many younger people accessed. I had a much bigger problem with @rcade's line of reasoning for defending it.

I had genuine concern over this based on personal experience with others. I wasn't doing it because I wanted to make this issue about me, and claiming I was is lazy and insulting. Unless you can apologise for that remark then please don't act like you're offended over what I'm saying in return.

okay, i don't know much about this argument, but as far as i know by "first world" standards catfish actually has it pretty hard, probably harder than most of the people in this thread. it's really fucked up to say someone who would get harassed for being themselves even if they kept out of all the drama has never had anything bad happen to them? are people really pretending that we've gotten to the point where we don't treat people badly because they're different in this country of all places?

From personal experience, a lot of these people believe they're "doing the right thing" on some fucked up level or standing up for someone and something.

It's really a huge part of the problem in the con scene.

What happened with @rcade was bad form. It was an issue I originally raised privately that got blown up by other people. If people can only defend what happened by attacking me you're proving a point.

lol

Near as I can tell everybody seems to hate the Irish cons, but is raging about them really that wise? I mean the organisers must be pretty sick of these threads and I can't imagine this is motivating them to work harder for you dickbutz.

Leigh i don't know why you have an option on rape, Seeing as your the lowest of the low of the MtF on /lgbt/. (there is a scale based on how passable a trans person is, and leigh is at the very bottom by himself.)
I can't think of any reason you would be raped. just a waste of good cum

Actually if you were representing others than you would have others step forward and say Yes, I agree with your stance, but nobody did because your argument was incredibly trivial.

You tried to remove a fan favorite you tuber because he said the word rape. While in fact you bring up the word more than anyone else. You vilify the word rather than the action. PewdiePie is just some dude who says rape while playing video games, If that upsets you then you are absolutely too childish to handle the real world.

Also not everyone hates me, I run one of the skype groups, the ones the /lgbt/ Tinychats operate out of.

>>6811621

He doesn't just say "rape". The whole joke in his videos is how inherently trivial rape is to begin with. Treating rape this lightly does have a real life effect on how people treat the issue, and it's no coincidence that Pewdiepie's fans also tend to treat it badly when it comes to this.

>If that upsets you then you are absolutely too childish to handle the real world.

If you need to say shit like this, then honestly, you're too much of an asshole to get into a real discussion with. There are plenty of people that are upset at Pewdiepie, even Restupurae who are basically a couple of Bros spent like an hour and a quarter calling him out, largely on this shit.

Nobody else spoke up because they knew what the consequences would be.

You didn't retort my argument you just called me an asshole, because your arguments as a paper thin as your victim complex is. PewdiePie while not an entertaining youtuber in my view, says the word rape in reference to a video game. He does not make light of rape because he is using the word in a different context. Its like when someone says "id rape a sandwich" Are you going to turn around and make a big deal about something like that?

Thats great by the way call me an asshole, You're still a child who can't get over spilt milk. My dad died of cancer four years ago. If i got upset everytime someone said Cancer, then i would seriously need to grow a thicker skin and get over minor details that even affect my life.

Sorry, I wasn't aware you were making argument. I thought you were just being an asshole, and the first line of this just reinforces it.

> Its like when someone says "id rape a sandwich" Are you going to turn around and make a big deal about something like that?

Yes. No offense, but you're sort of a complete idiot.

>Thats great by the way call me an asshole, You're still a child who can't get over spilt milk.

This applies, then, to many others, including just about every feminist I know and even the guys in Retsupurae.

It's you that's being immature because you can't take these issues seriously.

There's plenty of good resources out there as to why rape humour is damaging and helps reinforce rape culture. Cancer jokes don't reinforce cancer.

http://fugitivus.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/a-woman-walks-into-a-rape-uh-bar/

Are you going to call the author of this immature too? You can't just write off everyone who differs on you on the treatment as rape as "immature" or "thin skinned". Sooner or later you have to accept these as real arguments you need real arguments to go up against.

You have no argument here. I made a good point with regards the link between rape humour and how rape is taken seriously at all. You don't want it to be a big deal because it infringes on your shitty nerve culture where you don't show any sensitivity towards anyone or anything that doesn't fit into the typical nerdbro template.
