>> No.9781459

Because generally fandoms overlap. If you're into anime you probably also like the MCU or gravity falls or Dr who or something like that. Anime con/Vidya con is more or less a gathering of nerds with a wide scope of fanbase. Now if you wore Yuri on ice cosplay to a dragon Ball z con or to invader con, those are more specific scope conventions and would probably not be as appropriate.

>> No.9781460

No but really. I don't even go to cons for the merchandise or watching anime. With the opportunity these days to watch anime, cartoons and films online through various streaming services, the main goal to visit cons in order to watch stuff, has just moved to the background. I don't buy merch either. But I fucking love cosplaying, so I cosplay a wide variety of characters across all kinds of media.

So contain your autism, thanks.

False equivalence. Most comic-cons are pop culture conventions, not comic conventions, despite the title. They have eastern programming. They also include video games and movies and all sorts of different areas.

Cosplaying anime to a ren faire, or to an actual comic book based event is retarded. But cosplaying anime at a comic-con =/= cosplaying western shit at an anime con.

do you even know what you're saying at this point?
do you think larp and western shit was created in a vacuum?
if you think capeshit should be allowed at anime cons, there's no way you can say that anime should be banned at comic cons without some contradictions. Same with people larping at anime cons and people cosplaying at ren fairs

Dress as whatever you want at generic cons (anime con, comic con, Vidya con) but don't show up to a fucking Star Trek con or a Ren Faire as Sailor Moon or Char. It's not that hard of a concept. I'd give a LARPer shit for coming to a Toonami convention dressed as a fucking wizard, and I'll give you shit for showing up to Invader con as Goku.

it still doesn't make sense why people should be able to larp at an anime convention but not cosplay at a larp convention or whatever the fuck you faggots call them

>> No.9781563

>>9781533
I don't know about SDCC or NYCC but the nearest Comic cons to me are just that, conventions about comic books and the media directly related to them, eg vidya with comic characters or hollywood movies featuring comic characters. Nobody cosplays anime at them because there is an anime convention that usually happens within a month of the comic con. You do see some shit like Game of Thrones cosplays at them for some reason I can't fathom.

>> No.9781568

>>9781559
First off, I'm not a LARPer, that shits gay. Second, and follow me on this, anime cons just like comic cons are GENERAL NERD EVENTS. Most anime cons I've been too have panels and rooms that deal with multiple genres. I've seen tabletop game rooms, larping panels, how to paint models, how to build a boffer, hell even steampunk shit. Where as Ren faires etc, only have events and shit that have to do with the renisance (both real and fantasy)

Again, if it is say a sailor moon con, I don't see why anyone would show up to that dressed as someone from Yu Yu Hakusho. It's like wearing ICP makeup to a Britney Spears concert or modern day militaru equipment to a civil war reenactment.

>anime cons with general nerd panels
shit cons desu.
this omnicon bullshit is killing the individuality of anime cons. I'd rather see a million shit fotm cosplays than have to deal with a bunch of fucking deadpools and harleys and halo suits at every anime con i go to.
If you don't like the subject matter why even fucking go? just dress in normal clothes if you hate anime that much that you won't cosplay it, but at that point, why even go to an anime con if you just want to dress up as dva or 2b and show off your ass?

people say sexy cosplays are killing the hobby, but really, this "nerd culture" and omnicon bullshit is what's killing the individuality and leaves us just with these huge corporatized, bland events that end up just being an excuse to party.

Because all conventions are slowly becoming "all nerd shit smushed together"-con. Anime cons have comics and video games, comic-focused cons have people at least selling anime merch, it's all started to overlap in recent years.

What's the use of austistically filled anime-only cons when >>9781474 explains it?

Back in the days, you'd go to an animecon to specifically watch animes that weren't easy to get or see. It was a way to see more series and meet others. Nowadays that's just no longer the thing.

Stop sperging out and being such an autist. Let people enjoy their nerdery. People like you ruin the atmosphere in cons with your "MUH ANIME" attitude.

I'll go to an anime con dressed as whatever character as I damn well please. If you can't deal with that, go cry in your bodypillow please.

Regardless you’re fucking autsitic for being like this.

Personally i dont really mind, but with anime being more popular than comics nowadays it would be nice to see more people getting into comics and cosplaying from them at comic conventions. as for gaming events, a lot of them dont have anything anime/comic related, so i dont understand why someone would cosplay anime/comic stuff, but eh, to each their own

>>9781457
That's not really dumb at all? If you went to a regular comic convention wearing a cosplay from eastern media that is not immediately recognizable to normies you will get the cold shoulder from folks that are too embarrassed to admit they don't know who you're supposed to be. And it doesn't have to be obscure shit either, I've seen normies unironically call a Naruto cosplayer Goku because they didn't know any better. There's also the whole "ew, anime? weeb" mindset that some westernfags have too, which is equally as dumb and childish if you're going to call it that.

Meanwhile the annoyance with capeshit at anime conventions is that EVERYONE knows who you're supposed to be but nobody wants to hang out with you, either because they're at the con for ESCAPISM from western media or because your costume is low effort trash you got from Spirit Halloween on a sale. It goes both ways.

>>9781629
Just because everyone knows it doesn't mean they want to see it.

I had the opinion at one point that western media didn't belong at anime conventions. That was before I started cosplaying myself. Once you spend the time and money to make an amazing costume, you wear it any time you have an excuse to do so.

If you're going to go to a LARP in a cosplay you're falling out of tone and will most likely be asked by staff to change unless the LARP specifically specifies it.
Reason for that is because a LARP and a con are two wholly different things.

Nothing wrong with jfash? Naruto is dying out thanks to Boruto and newer shounen anime will take its place soon.

This is technically eastern even though it's usually plagued with western furry fandom autism that make it awful and low quality. Furries should really stick to their own conventions. This also applies to /mlp/ shit.

I'm so tired of going to conventions because the only anime costumes you will ever see are Love Live from girls who never even watched the show/played the game but just thought the dresses were flashy and kawaii.

Yeah, I go to cons on the east coast/southeast and I see more MHA than Naruto. I used to see a lot more a few years ago, but now it's all MHA or Love Live as far as anime goes.
