I'm loving this SCT shit that's going on. Rescheduling a con to a later date is nothing new, Desucon did it once too when they were starting out, but SCT always seemed shady. I hope for more juicy traniwreck-y stuff in the future, please keep on delivering SCT.

Desucon did it because they moved into a bigger venue. It was supposed to be a small convention in a school, but they switched to Sibeliustalo.

I guess everyone with any experience in cons was expecting either this or a complete train wreck that would bankcrupt them, so there isn't much to say. Seems like the amount of people at the very top of the organization who knew the number or tickets sold and made the decision to postpone is small enough for not too many rumours to leak.

Btw was the last guest of honour ever revealed? Met the CEO once and he was hyping their totally awesome musical GOH whose gigs usually had tickets costing more than those of the convention, and who was totally going to make them sell all their tickets months before the con. Kinda curious if he was referring to what's-her-name the seiyuu/singer, or if the last mystery entry was a band or something.

A lot of people were complaining about SJWs still a couple of years ago when the meaning was universally understood as "miserable angry people who claim they're progressive but act like bullies in middle school" and dickheads leaning the other way hadn't started throwing it at everyone who wasn't an actual racist etc. Now it's way riskier/edgier, but some people Twitter users who've been shared seem to be making a strong case for bringing it back.

Not that anon, but I think it's pretty understandable if people get pissed when people who aren't minorities themselves try to educate others on how to treat said minorities, and that treatment often boils down to ridiculous minor details and coddling ("aasialainen silmämeikki", really now?) rather than actual problems in racism. I won't comment on making yourself look tan in cosplay, but saying someone shouldn't do their eyeliner in a certain way because they think it tries to emulate looking asian rather than the character they're cosplaying is silly as hell.

It doesn't look good but it is not mocking anyone or done in an offensive manner. It's someone using makeup to look similar to a certain subject as a show of skills and because they like the character.

If you're going to reach that far, then with that logic, black people are not allowed to cosplay fair skinned characters from pretty much anywhere because they don't have the skin tone as them, and wearing makeup, contouring noses + contact lens is the same shit as this one. Also, straightening their hair, wearing Malaysian/Brazilian hair weaves/wigs and so on and so forth.

That's pretty dumb then. It's more of a dumb thing to do than a racist act.

I was born and raised in Asia from most of my life. A lot of people think that it's pretty strange when Westerners try to look Asian when the vast majority of Asians want to look more Western.

On the topic of "speaking for minorities", it's dumb shit. You make it sound like "minorities" need "protection" or be acknowledged by white people in order to affirm our existence. Siding with minorities or agreeing with their grievances is one thing, speaking up for them as if you're the authority or you know better than them is another.

People like that fakeboi listing out rules on what not to do are just making things worse. Fucking virtue signalling losers are ruining everything.

whether you are allowed to cosplay outside your race in a Finnish con without getting sjws harassing you is very related so /cgl/ and this thread so I'm not gonna stop
but I'll try to be civil about this

>>9620830
Sure, but most characters don't have several designs to choose from. Would your suggestion be to just not cosplay those characters if your ethnicity doesn't match?

On a more general note: the problem with "blackface" in the classic sense is that it is used to depict and exaggerate specifically negative racial stereotypes. It's a form of ridicule. If someone was doing THAT, I'd have a issue with it.
On the other hand, if someone tries to depict a character's appearance all the way from their clothes to their facial features and skin color, that isn't inherently a noxious thing to do. It's just imitation that doesn't exaggerate or comment. It's neutral. It's fucking fine and has no racist implications in itself.

Now if someone made a costume that is based on offensive racial stereotypes, and painted their skin darker to go with that: yeah sure, that might be a problem and an insensitive thing to do.
But I really fail so see anything wrong with an accurate looking cosplay of a character that isn't itself somehow offensive.

The thing is though, a lot of the time in anime when a character has darker skin it doesn't necessarily mean they're black or even if they are their other racial features may not be represented properly in the original source. If someone cosplays a character who merely has darker skin and then tries to make themselves look black in all aspects it would look stupid. If someone makes themselves look tan to match the characters and tries to match their other features accordingly, it'll merely be an accurate cosplay, not blackface.
Unless we're talking about cosplaying irl people, in which case the cosplayers will look inaccurate and silly 95% of the time anyway so who gives a fuck in the first place.

It was super crowded, probably because of the rain keeping everyone inside. It seems people were less considerate of others than usual, though - lots of people got pushed in hallways, had their costumes stomped on or even broken.
The programs were riddled with technical problems. The cosplay competitions' practice ate into everyone else's plans which in turn delayed everything, cosplay date had almost 10 mins in the middle where they just had to improvise some filler content while the tech people fixed their audio and video output.
Water kept running out and people were tracking mud inside, nice for people with white costumes. There was trash literally everywhere. Don't be pigs, even if you're young weebs.

Honestly, it's useless to generalize people by their age. Whether or not a person knows how to be polite at public events has to do with their personality rather than their age, so yes, there are young weebs being rude as well as young weebs who are polite, and the same applies to older con goers.
That being said, it would really do some good for cons to remind people ahead of time about how to act appropriately at cons since I feel like the crowd that usually gathers at these events may not be the best when it comes to public places and appropriate behavior. Not to mention it should be allowed to openly scorn that kind of behavior in social media either by the con organizers or just other attendees. Littering public places and not having basic manners when interacting with other people shouldn't really be tolerated.

Hello, african american(black person) here. I would like to vacation/holiday in Finland. How racist is finland and if not what parts do you guys recommend for me? I would be traveling with a tour group.
Thanks.

Not racist if you dress and act normal. If you come over here with full bling bling, then yes.
Helsinki is pretty multicultural with swarms of north Africans and middle Easterns. A black person is not a new sight. Just act normal and people wont care or give a second look your way.

If you're American (speak perfect English with an American accent) you'll be fine. We have so many barbaric, violent, sexist Somali immigrants here that people have prejudices but any other black people are ok with everyone.

people are generally not racist, especially if you act like a normal person and wear nice (or hipster) clothes. helsinki is generally the best because thats where all the other tourists are

I am glad I asked. From the answers and reading this thread finland seems like a place of comformity. Good advice I know what to wear and how to be a tourist. I've decided to do the Finland -Norway hop.

About this thread. There is a lot of made up things. The reason why minorities are so vocal- IN AMERICA and THE U.K about whites speaking for us is because in the past they would speak for people wrongly so they could make money and belittle. Dress white people up as asians so they can give their friend work instead of an asian. Burn businesses so you have to shop on theirs.
Since your country wasnt built by multiple races you guys won't really understand. Its not your debate, not your issue.

Yes it's not our debate but SJWs still force it to us and what you read was response to that. Finnish SWJs don't get nowadays idea of white person is fairly new and Finns weren't probably considered white in the history - as weren't Slavic people, gor example. Racism by Russians and Swedes have been forgotten also and that makes people feel strongly when SJWs continue to push their politically correct shit to everyone. My point is, context here isn't only the situation on US but pointless SJW nonsense since we are not in US.

Also, Finns have been enslaved by our neighbors for centuries before we finally were freed from them.
In the dark ages Finns were kidnapped to be slaves for either Rus on east or for Vikings on west. Then between 1250-1809 we under swedish rule without almost any rights as regular citizens (swedish Lords and nobles ordered almost every aspect of our life.) Then 1809 to 1917 under russian rule (surprisingly it wasnt actually as bad as it was under swedes)

All this becouse our neighbors did not even consider us as humans..

Subpar. Ilona looks like a middle aged mom trying to get in with the cool "kids". It's like watching a cliche 90s comedy show.
