Sweden thread

[Anonymous No.9219907]

Okay, so we have 3 upcoming shit-stained cons upcoming(-ish).

NärCon Gävle
Comic Con Stockholm (R.I.P Gamex)
NärCon Vinter 2017

I've probably forgotten some. Hopefully one that's less shitty than these.

What are you looking forward to etc.

>What are you looking forward to etc.

For it to be over. I have my misgivings about NärCon Gävle. CCS lost their one interesting guest. RIP all the people who bought tickets, hotel and transport to meet Evana Lynch. How do you even "lose" a guest just a month before due to double-booking? Unprofessional from her agent's side or the CCS side.

NärCon Vinter will probably be just like always.

[Anonymous No.9220195]

I'm amused that hardly anyone has signed up for the SM-prelims at Närcon Gävle... BIG SURPRISE...

Any costumes to look forward to at CCS though? I haven't seen that much progress from like anyone.

Dear cosplay community
Are you a cosplayer? Do you know someone who cosplay? Maybe you're thinking of starting?

Today I'm here to tell you something, I was contacted by the tv show "outsiders" to be a part of their "documentary". They didn't present themselves as "outsiders" until they said I didn't qualify as the cosplayer they wanted. They wanted someone who "lives as the character" , who cosplays every day and also has some kind of personality disorder. I'm not the only person they have contacted, they are looking for an easily manipulated person who they can twist and turn as they like for their show. DON'T BE THIS PERSON

Know that if you agree to do as they say you won't only ridicule yourself, but the whole community. They are not interested in making a "documentary". If you've ever watched 'outsiders' you'll know they turn everything into a freakshow.
WE ARE NOT A FREAK SHOW

Think about how everyone will be affected if someone decides to sell us out. Do we really need to be pushed down into the box again? We don't need any more bad rumors about us, we have fought to show positivity and passion. We don't need anything pulling us down again.

I don't want to feel more insecure in cosplay when you for example buy food , walk to the convention from the hotel and such. Because I'm not a freakshow, I'm a creator of costumes based on my passion.

A victim sweater.

You put it on and suddenly you are simply a victim of the situation! Everyone is so mean to you, you haven't done anything wrong, it's so unfair...!

Anyway, I too think it's a shitty thing, but 1) it's reality TV and 2) the episode doesn't even exist yet. Outsiders are generally pretty shitty, but the closest match might be the episode they did on furries which was surprisingly kind and decent. They conflated furries with an otherkin girl, but aside from that it was pretty okay.

So a lot of the people crying about it seem like they were bullied as kids and now have a ridiculous kneejerk reaction to anything that might even hypothetically point at them and say "this person is in some ways different from most people". And anyway it would be a good opportunity to entirely call out the modern day freakshow (which it is), instead people are just getting overly defensive about their hobby.

Exactly, it feels like Närcon saw it as an opportunity to get attention and be a ~*totally fair and righteous*~ business and taking the attention away from the person who started it.

The Tumblr style crazy isn't too bad if you hang out with people who are more moderate and avoid the clearly SJW-type panels (Fatphobia in cosplay, discrimination this or that etc.).

[Anonymous No.9222399]

>>9222395
It just feels like it's everywhere, anywhere you look. :< I'm pretty sure I saw something along the lines of "better than cis"-pins at last NärCon I was at.

And how would I hang out with moderate people? I'm shy as fuck and 99% of the only social people are hyper-totally-on-sugar-tumblrinas.

[Anonymous No.9222415]

>>9222399
AA may not be the best place to look for non-Tumblr people...

I met most of my friends while cosplaying from the same or a similar series, or occasionally in the gaming and karaoke rooms. And honestly, you don't have to totally agree with people to hang out with them, you just have to be able to talk about stuff that's not political. This doesn't work with people who are so deep into it that everything is politics (left or right wing) but as long as someone can at least somewhat separate interests from politics you should be able to hang out with them anyway.

And try to approach people. These are cons and almost everyone is a giant damn nerd so most will be pretty happy if you strike up a conversation re their Zelda shirt or Skyrim cosplay or w/e as long as you don't come of as a massive creep. If you are a massive creep you should work on that first.
