Why do idiots propose at anime conventions?

>> No.7417341

>>7417337
dont know why you chose a picture of a DDR machine, not that i dont like them.

but if anime conventions mean something to the both of them (ex where they met or some shit like that) then i dont see whats wrong with it.
but if its not special in anyway then its a fucking stupid idea.

this is just imo

You're asking why socially retarded males propose to their significant others in a sea of weeaboos?

They're taking the easy way out and half assing a proposal by taking advantage of a crowd already being gathered. If mine did that to me i'd have left him on the spot. We already had a discussion about what was appropriate and not.

this is horrible! I can't imagine a surprise public proposal like that ever working out.

I know some girls who got engages at a masquerade, but it was a really small convention and they talked it out with everyone beforehand. They had met at this (sadly now defunct) convention a few years prior and ended up putting on a pretty good show. Not my cup of tea exactly but I'd say it was cute!

Does anyone here have a story of a public marriage proposal that went sour?

>> No.7417485

>>7417465
The absolute worst part was the tsunami of weebs that were literally shedding tears over "how happy they were" once the competition was over.
I wasn't even crying happy or anything. Just kind of a... "Oh, yeah, thanks." I /was/ expecting it, but not to that degree. Not on stage in front of few hundred (possibly thousand? idr) people.
That was my five minutes of cosplay "fame". I'm not even mad, just pretty embarrassed, especially since we broke up afterward. All that fanfare for a ruined relationship.

I proposed to my wife in the living of my old apartment.

It was probably one of the most unromantic proposals ever but she didn't really care because she already kinda knew that I was going to ask her to marry me.

It was kinda like "get it over with already" kinda deals. She even said that public proposals are just awful because it's kinda unfair to put someone on the spot especially when they are on the fence about stay with that person forever.

>> No.7417635

I'd always get people that wanted to do this at the masquerade and had huge arguments with them over it. One of the rules is only the MC gets a microphone, so we rejected them on those grounds. That and proposing on stage at masquerade is shit. It's a shitty "entry" it's a shitty thing to do to the person you're proposing do, no I am not going to let you do that.

My boyfriend and I are high school sweet hearts. We have been dating for twelve years now so it doesn't really feel as if he is my boyfriend, but a constant presence. If he did decide to make it official at a convention or public place, I would kill him. I think the choice of marriage is a really personal decision that should not be broadcasted to every random stranger in the immediate area. If you have to do it in front of somebody, do it around friends, but not convention goers.

I agree. I would like a public proposal but not in the same way as on stage or anything. Just in a public place so when I get excited I could share it with others. Id I get proposed to in private I'm gonna be so ecstatic and excited I won't know what to do because no one will be there but me and him.

People who get married at anime conventions are lame though. People who get married in costume are also lame. Both are not my cup of tea and you guys look like 14 year olds.

My husband proposed at Otakon 2011. He likes to design Magic cards for funsies and usually asks me to test out his decks. We were just hanging out in the games room late Saturday night playing a new deck he had made and he was playing some that didn't seem like good plays but whatevs. Then he plays one more card and slides them together until the titles read "Will you marry me?" Before I could comprehend what had happened there was a ring box on the table.

Personal, but creative, at a con, but still pretty private. Earlier that day he asked me to pick out a kimono I liked from the dealer's room as an early birthday present and we could wear them later when we got tired of our costumes. So I got to be in my pretty weaboo garb rather than nasty con-night clothes when it happened.

Whoops, guess that's me. I've told my boyfriend, being proposed to in public is fine, but don't make a damned spectacle out of me. Don't do it on stage, don't hire a band, don't gather a crowd, no flash mobs, none of that. Sometimes spontaneous public proposals are cute, maybe after a romantic dinner or on a beach, but when it starts actively involving other people, it gets embarrassing.

More on-topic, was anyone else at the Final Fantasy mock wedding/real proposal at Fanime a couple of years ago? During the gathering, we all had to line up, separated by gender, and participate in some yaoi mock wedding that ended in a real lesbian proposal. I was annoyed as fuck at being pressured to participate, I just wanted to take pretty Final Fantasy pictures, damnit.
