I wish there were cool anime/manga/video game/doujin/etc events outside Japan too.
>>12995Yes. It's not really that hard to get laid if you know the tricks and relevant rituals.
Once I ended up in a 5 member orgy(2 guys 3 girls including me) and it was a fucking messy riot.
>>13001>>13014To add to this conventions are notoriously filled with horndogs. I'd even say orgies aren't
that rare of an occurrence.
That thing in the picture looks like an idolfag event
>>12968Cringe, fucking sex pests ruining real life cons.
>>12968>>12995It is absolutely terrible for everyone involved. First, women into cosplay are exceedingly hostile towards unacquainted men at conventions (for mostly good reasons), and are usually a hotbed of mental illness and general bitterness. A lot of these women grew up being used and mistreated by men and are now very eager to take out their frustrations on fat, autistic nerds. Second, the men at cons are haggard, wretched souls. Though they're loathe to admit it, many of them fantasize about finding their hecking anime-watching soulmate at cons. The desperation in the air is palpable. I've seen groups of "bros" go from "haha, women amirite" to subtly (or explicitly) putting each other down to try and establish dominance for the dime-a-dozen female Genshin cosplayer who engaged the group in conversation. You can see the hint of a smile on her face as she both wants to leave the encounter as soon as possible, but can't help but stay a little longer to watch these grown men playing dress-up flounder around. Then the "Chad" of the group shows up after coming back from the bathroom. This guy's a big deal, he benches 1pl8, and he's cosplaying Inosuke. The rest of the guys deflate at the sight of his 3 month gym bod, but the Genshin cosplayer doesn't think very much about him. They all leave. The guys proceed to play back the same scene in their heads - they're married to the Genshin cosplayer, and living together with their 2 sons and 2 daughters on a cheap plot of land in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, the Genshin cosplayer chuckles to herself about how pathetic men are, then proceeds to make the thousandth thread on the farms about an imaginary Nigel that will never come. There is no release for anyone.
In short, just go outside and do literally anything else.
>>15603It's honestly somewhat a turn off for cosplay motivation, if conventions truly have become so infested with creeps.
Did people always act like such sex pests at these events?
Or is this a Burgerstani problem?
>>15623>>15623>Did people always act like such sex pests at these events?lol it was worse before
>Or is this a Burgerstani problem?of course its not exclusive to amerika
>>15651Ain't that the truth. At least you've still got some cosplayers actually making their own costumes and artists selling their stuff, but it's mostly marked up Japanese (or Chinese knockoffs) imports.
Where I live we don't even get interesting panels or otaku-themed raves.
congrats, you are now a WIZAD, you are officially old enough to be the go to guy for the true con idiots to get booze/smokes/etc
but remember, over half the good looking cosplayers and gals are UNDERAGE TO THE EXTREME
but they don't care, they just want to get in there, have fun, make clips to share online, talk smack about your old ass, etc
you are TOO OLD, to hook up at a con anymore unless the woman you are talking to is also as old(easy to tell if they are not mentally broken)
Just remember, a convention is there to
1) Buy shit that you can actually see/handle in real life and not get fucked over by false reviews and trick photography/touchups.
2) Get convention exclusives(less than half are worth it, but still worth it)
3) Talk anime in real life, in the open without being swatted/losing your job/embarrassing yourself(too badly)
4) Talk to those who voice the anime's, make the animes, import/produce the animes, get signatures, cells(if they still animate without computers), and show your geekiness off for fun(remember you are the old one now, remember that old anime that for some reason would actually take off now?? SHARE IT/NAME DROP!!)
A tank convention would be all about guys/gals talking about tanks, buying tank related things, watching tank movies/skits/plays/dressup. Driving a tank in a special pay for service, and more. The only difference is that conventions have a clear age related divide, those under 25 are the con goers that can do almost anything(19 or younger can and will TRY to do everything) and those above 25 are generally there to talk to people the same age, talk the shit, exchange contact info, and will generally RUN the thing themselves.
