Well, 2 cons ago I saw a girl and a guy cosplaying from Team Rocket, and they had cups near them. The guy was sitting on the ground with his phone in front of him pointed at his lady friend while she was strutting back and forth clumsily in her short skirt. She purposefully threw a pokeball slightly behind her then turned around and faced her ass to the camera and made an "oopsie!~" face. Then she strutted over and sat on his lap, facing him, which was my signal to look away.They looked hella drunk and I was just like...what the fuck did I just see? It was in a crowded hallway right in front of a doorway so even if the people in the hallway weren't paying attention, you're forced to look at it once you enter the room. Yuck.

Moral of the story, I try my best to stay away from drunk people because if you felt like animu people at cons had their common sense fly out the window...it gets way worse when they're drunk. And no, I don't go to con parties unless it's with close friends.

This so hard. No make-up or really bad make-up. I have nothing against people who can't into make-up, it just that poor or no make-up and people like that tend to correlate.
It's for this exact reason that I'm trying to get my friend to wear make-up with her cosplays. She's pretty, but for some reason never discovered make-up and I keep telling her that a little foundation and eyeliner would go a long way.

Something I've had happen to me a few times is I'll meet someone into the same series as me, we talk for a bit about it, but then it becomes apparent that the series is the *only* thing they are capable of talking about. Even worse when they decide they've made a friend and start following you around.

People who weave in passive-aggressive comments about women. Like if I wear a skimpier costume and let someone take a photo and then they say something like 'you're cooler about it than the other girls here' or 'another girl in the same costume as you wouldn't let me take a picture of her, what a stuck up bitch'. If other women are responding negatively to you and you immediately bring it up and then try to act like it's their fault, that just tells me you were probably being creepy and that I should stay away from you.

Not con-specific, but definitely at cons; people who say "Oh I hate drama" within 15 minutes of meeting you. It means they're the problem. Run.

Con-specific; Shitty homestuck cosplayers (the good ones are either chill or tumblr, and tumblr is easy to sniff out), people literally hanging off their SO, obviously drunk people (during the day especially), and people who are obviously minors.

I replied. In case you are serious, fuck you. Cons are for more than just animu.

I attend BJD panels so naturally I bring a doll along to show attendees. I don't wear lolita when I bring my doll either. But nice job assuming all lolitas are sweet, I can tell you know jackshit about what you're talking about. I think you're getting teddy bears confused with dolls.

You are so far out of an anime convention's target demographic it's pathetic. Anime is meant to appeal to teenagers, so they and 20-somethings are still acceptable.

TIL costuming is not a productive hobby.

I think there are plenty of reasons for 30+ people to go to cons like if they're dealers or artists. Should they be cosplaying 14 years olds? No. Can they cosplay? As long as it fits their age. I'm not that old(20s) but I am a teacher so you know I have a real life job and responsibilities but I still go to cons in the summer. I have money and can enjoy it more than I could as a teen lol.

Eh? That seems a little unfair. My group of friends is pretty fucking weeby, but at cons they are just wearing jeans/normal shirt. They go to a million panels, buy merch, take pictures, meet VA's and shit. They're just there to have a good time with each other.

You know, they say all approaches have equal success rate, but you look at PUA and you look at Zyzz, and you can see that statement is not true! See, normally, if you ask a girl out, you got a 50-50 chance of getting it in.

But if you use PUA tactics, and they ain't normal, so you got a .01% chance of getting it in! And then you add autism to the mix? Your chances of fucking drastically go down. See, at the asking out, you got a 50-50 chance of getting it in. But you, you got a .005% chance of winning, because we all know you like Sonic, so you're not even gonna try!

So you take that 49.995% and add it to my 50 percents at getting it in, because you're not even gonna try, I got a 99.995% chance of getting a girl's number if I just ask for it directly! See, the numbers don't lie!

Everything in this list, especially Deadmau5 and Slenderman cosplayers. They're usually autistic teenagers who think they're being super fresh with their choice of costume and gloat about it everywhere possible. Bonus points if the slenderman is larping their character and fills you with second-hand embarrassment.

Also the dudebros who are only there to try and score some cheap poon with the slutty raver girls and obviously don't watch any other anime than maybe bleach. They don't realize that they're not in a fucking bar and start soliciting girls and making shitty jokes to them which they think are clever but usually they're plain tasteless and maybe even offensive.

I fucking hate people like these. They treat cosplayers like they're not actual breathing humans but some exotic animals or objects that they can comment on and admire. I guess they mean well but it's really dehumanizing to have a group of people treating you like you're a paid performer when you're just trying to have fun with your friends. Also the normalfag levels of "Did you do this costume yourself? That is amazing, I would never be able to do something like that! What is this character from? Uh-huh, have you been doing this for long? Where did you get the idea?" like you're being interviewed for a soft news channel. And "Oh, we're just passing by and decided to come here just to admire all these costumes". And drunken fratboys who think that a ~CRAZY PLACE~ like a convention is a great place to leltrollXD at.

It gets very tiresome and old really fast, especially after 8 years of going to conventions and normies still take your picture on the street without asking a permission and comment on your attire like you're not there or can't hear them. Just leave me be goddamnit and go on with your life. Fuck.

You're a big kid, you can say "no" if you're tired or if the person creeps you out in general.

If you find you're stuck being recorded and are being asked inappropriate questions, ASSERT YOURSELF. Tell them, firmly and politely, that you don't want to answer any more questions. You're committed to that unfortunate conversation, and ignoring the offender may not resolve it. If you tell them off accordingly, any continued foolery is entirely on them. If it continues, ESCALATE by finding con staff, a friend, or a sympathetic stranger.

This is pretty accurate. People think they gotta live by some standard someone else set up for them and then they wonder why they hate their job, think their spouse is an asshole when they loved them once, and just buy things to fill the void.

That's just what happens when you give up what makes YOU you. You can't go around being what other people want you to be.

This is amazing, and I didn't even know it existed. Probably be a better use of my money than anything in the dealers hall.

Long gone are the days (90s anime cons) of them actually stocking rare, interesting stuff from Japan. Seems nowadays all they stock are off-the-shelf generic items from the main brands/series. Gonna have to assume it's because usually anything can be bought online nowadays.

Usually the swapmeet has more unique items for sale these days. People are selling the SOULS of their collection usually. Much better buys, much better prices, much more interesting collectibles.

Oh gosh this so much.
Also when you meet someone new and they start spewing about how much recognition they're getting at the con.

Recently at a con, my friend and I saw a cute Mei from Totoro cosplay, and complimented her while we were waiting for another friend. She thanks us and then zips back a few minutes later and goes, "Do you want a picture of me?" in a heated voice. We cringed on the spot and politely said no, and she left off. It was so off-putting, and took away from just complimenting that we honestly didn't even feel like taking her picture out of pity. She had spoiled it by then.

I like complimenting cosplayers if they've done a great job on something, but being that pushy is really annoying.

>90s anime cons

In the 90s anime wasn't just a nerd hobby, it was something most people had never heard of.

There were only a small handful of conventions here in the US before Toonami introduced the medium to a new generation of fans in 1997-98. Anime fandom didn't really gain much steam here until the early 2000s with the TV broadcasts of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.

If she's resisting then you don't.
She'll figure it out when no one takes pictures or her pictures look less than nice. Or when she notices even the people in school uniform cosplay have some amount on.
