Any drama or costume progress please share

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 4 08:44:22 2014 No.7732202 Toko just ended. Shitstorm coming over masquerade results after girl with hat, plaid skirt and very mundane singing voice wins over a good 4 or 5 deserving cosplays. Pictures to come soon.

That would be me. I was actually pretty surprised that I won, there were definitely better costumes there and I literally had one stocking on because the other didn't arrive in the post, lel. I can only offer that the judges were maybe more inclined to vote on performance because there were so few skits? Also if my singing voice is really that offensive to you, you must not have been there for Simple and Clean in 2012. I wasn't actually sure whether to enter because I didn't want to be that guy but my mates egged me on so here we are.

At the end of the day it's up to the judges and there's not a lot anyone else can do about it. I was hoping for maybe a mention for performance (I was under the impression it was a different category) but I thought that Jinx was the best cosplay, personally.

Oh- and something else probably worth mentioning, I literally told the signup girl that it was a closet cosplay. She asked if i made it and I was like 'I just kind of cobbled it together out of stuff I bought'. So I don't know if that was passed onto the judges or not, but if it was, that's a bit poor. Performance shouldn't be overriding costume in a costume contest, if they want to recognise it it should be as a separate winner. When I came off my friend said she thought I would win it and I said that I doubted that because it's not a handmade costume, given the nature of Toko I would expect hard work/enthusiasm to have a higher weight in judging. It's only Toko though, it's not like I accidentally won WCG with Yaya glowering in the background in £30,000 of ballgown and armour.

Yeah, I seem to remember separation of costume and performance in 2012, I'm not sure why they'd change in in a contest where most of the entrants weren't doing any kind of performance at all and probably weren't expecting it to factor into judging (if they cared about winning in the first place)

Two people I know got told they couldn't enter the masq due to their horror-themed cosplays, because of these fucking kids. One was Jeff the Killer, the other was shed.mov Fluttershy. Only a baby was even at the masquerade. I thought that was pretty bullshit, they have as much right to show off and have fun as anyone else. Also they let the resident evil guy in anyway so it's not like it's even consistent.

Enough for him to be the toko photographer it seems.

I got a few funny looks from him during the masq as I sat right in the middle to take photos meaning he had to off to the side.

Apparently complaining that the committee letting a friend bring in someone underaged to an 18+ con makes you a horrible person.

Probably the Bioshock cosplay, the joker and the two before - and also the jinx was pretty decent honestly. But the quality kind of makes sense considering they're in a field.

Just ignore him. Foxy thinks he's the world's best photographer and the only one who should be doing cosplay photography. The only reason he's on the committee is because he's been on there so long.

That closing ceremony tho. It surpassed even Kitacon's auction surprise closing in terms of length. Really not acceptable when you've already been sitting there for half an hour listening to bloody Frozen. I don't care how funny the comperes are, sitting on the floor cross legged when you're over the age of 10 is a pain when it's for more than a few minutes.

Officially they'll say they can't accept anyone under 13 for legal reasons, but as those kids don't get given badges I don't think the committee can do anything about them being on site. As long as they don't enter events I think it's a non-issue but I do think it's a bit obnoxious. When that kid started screaming during closing and everyone was like "awww" I was baffled. Oh how cute, a sound like nails down a blackboard interrupting everyone.

I think we have a better ratio of weebs to actual human beings than most conventions. Generally the scene is relaxed (ignore the aura of drama as that's only on 4chan) and people are welcoming. A lot of congoers will say they don't really watch anime anymore and just go for tradition. In my ten+ years of attending cons (relative newbie here) I've had encounters with maybe two weebs/manic fans/ sperglords.
I would say avoid the expo like the plague - its popular to the point that its just queuecon, its harder to meet people and make lasting friendships because its impossible to find people again, and it has too many kids and attracts the most weebs. Go to a fan-run con which are run as a not for profit charity.

I really should go into more detail.

Remember when you were like 14 and just discovered Dragon ball Z and you were an annoying little shit who couldn't shut up about it? How you roleplayed on forums and used smilies like ^__^? That is the type of people I found on the forums I checked out.

It's made me want to avoid anime cons and possibly attend gaming cons instead. But I'd like to make a mix of friends and the gamers I've met in the past all fall into the same small segment of people, who I've out grown as a person at this point.

By not assuming that everyone is a clique and doing just that. Or go on cosplay island there's still a few normal people there that haven't graduated to facebook pages.

Failing that enter masquerades and meet people back stage. Go to photoshoots and meet people. Or just generally walk up to someone wearing something that indicates your interests and start a conversation. Leave then with your number or suggest adding on facebook.

The same way you meet people in real life anon.

You said you were looking on forums earlier right?

If you're looking for online friendships, I'm afraid in the UK Facebook is the major way to do that, especially within the con scene. I don't have a need for it either, but I have it to interact with my friends and keep up with them socially. It might seem annoying but it's a good compromise to make I think.

>>7734793
Also seconding this, it's the best way for you to make contacts before going to a con, and then upholding them afterwards. I'd really suggest you give it a go again!

Anon I think you're being stubborn for no real reason. You can set privacy sky high and you don't have to fill your profile with any personal information. Just a name and a nice profile picture will do. You can have something artistic as your banner if you don't want to plaster it with pictures of yourself.

Putting your favourite character or something from an anime tends to send out weeby signals.

But once you have a profile you can join groups to chat.

Skype and all other messengers have profile sections that list things like your name and birthday and had ID pictures. They also have the capacity to post twitter esque snapshot status' which is essentialy facebook in a software format.

So when you say you want an 80% online friendship what do you propose to use?

I still like Minamicon but then I'm good with a relaxed atmosphere as well as a party one.

Though I feel it has more variety of panels than Kita and more inclusive and team orientated activities for socialising and just having fun.

I know more than one person felt there was bugger all to do at Kita if you weren't in or watching the masquerade, cosplay chess or getting pissed and partying.

I just don't like Facebook, I don't want to support it and when I used to use it I had bad experiences with it. Just isn't for me and isn't what I feel comfortable with using.

You have the exact same level of control with Facebook as you do with Skype. But if it makes you uncomfortable anon then you'll just have to see if you can find a gem in various forums or meet people irl at cons and some away with their skype handles.

You could try online gaming or multiplayer console gaming. But the per-requisite for that is an interest in a game with these features.

Well if your interests are Japanese related then you could check out Winter Hyper Japan as the non-dealer related stuff is much more easy access than at the London MCM where everything is kind of spread out now.

London Film and Comic Con (LFCC) and London MCM Comiccon (formerly MCM Expo and most still call it Expo) are only a week apart this year, at the end of October and there's not really a lot to do, so not a great call to be social. Though even if you're not a cosplayer it's easy enough to strike up a conversation with someone who is if they're cosplaying from something you like, it's a great ice breaker.

But if you want something to be deliberately social at you'd have to go for a 'con'. I wouldn't recommend going to chibi-Ame if you're disabled as the hotel has a terrible reputation. I'm not sure even Ayacon levels of awesome could save that.

There'll be Minamicon in March and Kitacon in August I think. There's plenty of activities and things like quizes to get people into teams. Some groups will come with the intention of sticking together but they'll open up enough if you join in I find.

Of course there's always exceptions, that's life and it's gunna be hit and miss based on your personality.

If anime and Japanese stuff isn't really your thing there's a selection of cons for other things. I hear 11th Hour is returning if you're into Doctor Who but all of those events tend to be a c. £100 ticket for not a lot of content. More paying for the garuantee to meet what billed guests turn up and have a picture with them. There's ones for Twilight and Supernatural etc. But the guest lists never have the main stars and you're better off just turning up at the hosting hotel and chilling in the bar to socialise than you are paying for entry to rooms that basically have nothing in them.

There are various mini festivals and events around the UK that are more localized but without knowing your location I can't recommend anything and honestly unless you're in my catchment area then I still wouldn't be able to recommend anything.

However most of what I hear about I hear through facebook so again you're deliberately blocking yourself off from what is the hub of social media now.

You can argue that you don't use it for whatever reason but no one's going to shift off of facebook for you. People have tried to run sites listing events and separate forums but facebook allows you to do so much more without relying on mailing lists and e-mails reminding you that someone's posted in your topic that everyone defaults there in the end anyway.

Even if you just use it as a way in and get people's skype contacts from there then there's really not a lot left to recommend.

If you're artsy you can post on deviantart and post in groups there and get into that community and there's various other art posting sites but that's the most popular/well known. DA also runs word wide meets every now and then where a bunch of DA users meet up to trade handles and meet people face to face and sit around a draw. It was pretty chill the one time I went and they gave out free DA lanyards which was pretty cool if you like free memorabilic tat.

If you like books you could browse reviews and comments and forums on goodreads. They have groups too, reading groups and themed groups where you can meet like minded readers.

There aren't really many book conventions in the UK, I mentioned the Twilight con above but it's more an excuse to pump the Twilight fandom for easy money rather than a serious attempt at a con.

London Film and Comic Con does now play host to what is being call Young Adult Literature Con. Which is basically a corner of the hall with booths to meet authors at and a small stage area where authors give panels and workshops.

There's various book festivals around the UK but again I'd need a better idea of your catchment area to recommend anywhere.

They ram 1200 people into a venue that is only fit for 700 tops. Half the committee don't do any work and throw their weight around with the attendees because they think being a con committee member makes them a god. The half of the committee that do any actual work are impossible to talk to because they're stressed out of their minds trying to cover all the massive shortfalls left by other staff. Events are poorly vetted and even more poorly run. Gophers are poorly briefed and the majority either don't do any work or stand around like fucking tools. The dealers room is a joke and a blatant health and safety violation nightmare zone. And behind it all standing in the shadows is Micheal Towers quietly skimming off cash into his own pocket.

You haven't been paying attention have you? Amecon ran every other year, alternating with Ayacon. Since Ayacon dissolved Kitacon has moved to the summer spot to alternate with Amecon.

The reason we don't have a large con is because Kitacon is the large summer con of 2015. So instead Amecon is running in Kitacon's old spot during the Easter holidays.

Trial running various changes with a down sized con is sensible.

But I agree there's no saving the venue.

I went to alcon last year the dealer room open over 2 hours late. Also the video game room didn't open till Saturday, also the venue was over crowded people where sitting in fire exit due in the panel I went to due to the fact the room only should hold 150 people. The cosplay well was a low level there was a few OK cosplay but well nothing special. Everyone there seem to stuck up to the abridgers as Alcon is the only UK that well still cares about them. Over all I say don't go they don't listen to any feedback and your going to have a bad time, oh yes there rubber duck meme is the worst meme I ever seen it a 5 year old would not find it funny.

I miss Ayacon, Aya11 was my first convention, I was lucky to have been invited up with a really outgoing friend, she managed to wrangle us into everything from playing Card-games with Matt Mercer to passing a bottle of Vodka around with Michael Sinterniklaas outside the convenience store. It really was a fantastic convention and really got me interested in going to more. Although now that I have a decent job and can afford to go to more than one convention a year without it breaking my bank, I really have no idea where to look, or what to do, especially since Aya is down for the count.

Sebastian's pretty much the sweetest guy in the scene alongside Nert. He wouldn't harm a fly. He disappears every once in a while because Kelly treats him so badly but he always goes running back to her like a love sick puppy. He gets on with everyone and he's stood up for girls at cons when guys have been creepy.

Lucas is a slimy shady date rapist-looking bro who keeps trying to pressure girls who have boyfriends into going over his house to pose naked for him. He offered alcohol to a 16 year old girl and openly admitted he keeps a fap folder of all the cosplay girls he knows. He's often been overheard talking about which girls he'll jerk it to next.

Which do you think is more likely to have tried to force it in her?

Can we not encourage this kind of harassment educing behaviour?

Regardless of what the named example, Ai Honey, has or hasn't done (and a substantial amount, if not all, is actually no ones business but those directly involved) encouraging this behaviour for one individual perpetuates the idea that it's okay for everyone and anyone so long as at least one individual judges that they 'deserve' it.

But really these kind of comments and behaviour will never say as much about her as it does about you anons.

Please stay classy and at least keep your personal dignity even if you don't like someone.

I like looking at the slow train crash that is Kelly, but I think this revenge porn is really distasteful. She is very lucky she doesn't live in the States where places are allowed to fire you for this. It amounts to harassment.

I don't know many girls who haven't done something on camera for their boyfriends or whatever, and I doubt all these people getting high and mighty about it are as pure holy virgins as they make out. The person posting these is a dickhead here, not Kelly for having her trust broken.

>>7760720
I'm not saying what she did is right. And I don't know any of the parties involved so can't and won't comment. But no one deserves to be gang raped. No one deserves to be raped at all.

I do wonder what Volpin's wife is like now that you mention it though. Though I agree AH's behaviour does sound vile.

But encouraging mass harassment...that's not right either. However much anyone tries to justify it.

For the same reasons I said before. Continuing to propagate this kind of response makes it seem like it's okay. And then it will get used for anyone and everyone and there's no scale and no thought to the consequences.

We all know AH has a pretty thick skin. Or at least thick enough that she posts sarcastic responses on here. If that's what you're all fishing for, good for you.

But there are much weaker people in the world and mistakes do happen. And there have been so many cases where this kind of mass harassment has lead to suicides. Whether it's cheating girls, or angry ex boyfriends or unpopular girls or gay guys or anyone.

So if you feel you absolutely must support this kind of road anon...well you're right, it's a free country, you go right ahead.

But it feels very wrong to me.

People did blaim Volpin at first. He eventually owned up and he opened up about the other girls he was fucking at the same time too and his life's been downhill since. There's no reason to give him shit now when he's shit on himself so well.

AH still denies she ever touched Volpin while simultaneously shittalking his wife in the most base line shallow ways possible. She calls his wife pathetic for not taking it in the ass and five minutes later will say she and he were just good friends. AFTER he outed them.

Now she's getting people banned from conventions and when someone beats her in a contest she slanders them until they have to be disqualified and she wins just so the company can save face. I mean fuck, she probably 'leaked' that photo herself.

There are lots of peeps who get shit thrown at them who don't deserve it. There are lots of drama threads made about people who don't deserve them. AH isn't one of those people.

Also the writing in general is awful.

"considering myself a hobbyist at the art"
"beginning to get a lot of opportunities presented to me" x2

I'm guessing his ego is too big to get someone who actually knows how to write properly to proof read his stuff.

So I only started going to cons this year and I thought all the cosplay guests and judges etc had to be of a certain caliber? Well I assumed anyway.

Is that true?

My friends who introduced me to cosplay have been doing it a couple of years and they've never heard of this guy, have we just been in the wrong place wrong time?

This guy has been around a year, maybe a bit more, but his ego has inflated up to the sky in the past year. Someone posted a brilliant screencap of "more established" cosplayers taking a stab at him recently, that was pretty brilliant. Some of his stuff is pretty good, but his attitude puts a total downer on his work to me. That, and his Prince of Persia was awful but he cried about not winning a competition with it.

Ha that post was amazing. It was him writing some really shitty comment on bens photos and basically everyone slammed him for it, he still didn't notice he was being a total dick though even when people far more established than him where telling him to his face he was being an arse.

Where does he get this ridiculous ego from, everyone I see commenting on his wall is a total nobody, no well respected cosplayers ever post on his work - and if they do it isn't positive

Didn't he make some quip about the all female winners and all female judges?

Though in his, ever so slight, defence, having spoken to a range of the contestants there was a definite focus from the media coverage and interviews towards the women in costume.

That said that shouldn't have had anything to do with the judging. Besides....velvet and costume satin? No amount of detailed leather work (and he did do a nice job on the leather work) could excuse that. Also his performance was boring.

Thing is even for him, that wasn't his best work. Dude's done way better. If he spent less time hyping his shit online and more time actually working on his costumes maybe he'd be picked out more often.

>>7761429
If you want to grab photos while you're on the con floor best thing to do is make friends with other cosplayers and ask who takes their photos and if that person happens to be around. Togs at cons are used to being grabbed off the floor for some quick photos. If you don't know anybody, seek out Nert. He's at every event and is solid and friendly. If he's not available, look for Foxy. He's a dickhead but he gets shit done. Next step up are Sonesh and Sebastian. They do real pro work but they don't go to everything. If you want more like a full photoshoot and you're female and pretty you could try the SCG guys. They're gross but they put a lot of money and effort into doing full shoots and most of the girls they shoot have no experience so you're okay there. If you're a guy or if you're a girl and overweight then you're SOOL.

>>7761515 Anon here. I mentioned Foxy because he's at a lot of things, he'll shoot anybody and if you're starting out and just want totally standard images while you're at a convention then he's better than picking somebody totally at random. Like I said, get Nert if you can, Foxy's the most reliable replacement if you can't.

Pretty sure he deleted it, I can't find it either. Probably because the overwhelming response from people who know their shit was "no" and from bad cosplayer/non cosplayer fans it was "yes".

Laura pretty much said "fund your own hobby". (Can't prove it now but I laughed so much that I remember, I think it was really curt and might've been that short too.)

Kelly pushed away every single one of her close friends that stuck by her through the accusations so she literally has no one left to back her up. She's been told the 'rape' case has no substance to it whatsoever, and is clearly trying one last stab at destroying Lucas' reputation. It is truly hilarious watching her write about herself in third person.

Lucas has never done any of those things and unfortunately for Kelly, he's actually a well-loved member of the community. I think that's what hurts Kelly the most. She claims to have lots of friends in the community when actually everyone hates her and her costumes are fucking terrible. She is a crazy bitch who seriously needs to be sectioned.

>>7763152
+1'd. While I agree with lots of what >>7763084 says, the idea that Lucas is at all popular is a side-splitting joke. He's just as unpopular as Kelly is. The only people who tolerate him are the small handful of people who are desperate for free publicity and free photographs which is what he provides. Take away his association with SCG and his camera and not one single person would acknowledge his existence.

That's why this whole thing has lost both of them all their friends. If one of them was actually liked people would have more sympathy and interest in the situation. Because they're both so hated everybody just wants to see them both fuck off and this is as good a way as any to do it. Kelly gets him banned and she outcasts herself, everybody else wins.
