If you can't ignore them, your will is too weak. Go sit under a waterfall or something. Or drink some alcohol before you go in.

keep in mind i have never been to an anime con but maybe going to the con drunk would make it entertaining.

Learn to chill and relax.

Go to the con, be with your girlfriend and just let the weeaboos and retards do their thing.

It's not just anime cons, by the way. Try going to any con, and you'll have the same sort of people running around being retarded. Just dressed as different characters.

Go as Kenshiro. People will come up to you to comment how good your costume is. That's when you punch them. You always have an excuse that you were roleplaying or something.

If you don't want to be near those weaboo, just follow one simple rule: Steer clear from things that will attract weaboo.
See those naruto doujin stands? get the hell away from it.

Anime con's put me off anime forever.

Im only here because /a/ is my only friend ;_;

It's not that bad, OP. You're obviously focusing on all the negatives. You can actually have a lot of fun if you let yourself. Go to panels, discuss things with people, go to the dealers' room, etc. You can meet some really cool people. Just ignore the faggotry; same thing with /a/. It sucks but you have to focus on the good things.
I can't wait for my next con. I'm going to get so much manga in the dealers' room. Hopefully I'll get the rest of Blame and Sanctuary.
It's so easy to make friends there; everyone is so nice. Don't be a cynical douchebag.

Weren't there any interesting panels with reasonable people?

inb4 girugamesh, gay man, smile DK, sakuracon ikimasu, ect.

This. Just ignore them and let them do your thing while you do yours.

If you need to build up tolerance, go hang around a middle school for a week before the con.

In my country we have this con that is both for anime and RPGs.
Here's a rather amusing scene from there.

Neckbeard "I swear to Odin that I'll start a murderous rampage if a single one of those friggin otakus starts doing their crazy shit in OUR game room one more time!"
*Whale sized naruto cosplayer stands on the doorway blasting carameldansen from his stereo*
<-- Neckbeards face.

If you can't fight it join it!

OP here
I would try to ignore them, but often randoms just start jumping in the middle of your conversations.

Me and my friend were discussing how shitty Animu had gotten recently and fucking people decide to jump in our conversation and argue with us.

I'm always up for a good argument, I'm on [a/ of course but these people always take everything way too seriously and seriously believe that Animu is the greatest and well written entertainment ever created.
Somehow the conversation went in the direction of Death Note, they were arguing that Death Note was an example on how anime is still the best thing ever, I acknowledged Death Note was good... until episode 26 then it went instantly shit tier and then they started physically threatening me, what the fuck.

I guess another problem stems from the fact that my girlfriend is a WCS level cosplayer and every 2 seconds we get stopped by people asking for her photos.

I've only been to the really small cons where I can sit and talk to the artists myself for hours. Mostly just curious college kids show up.

>(not on my own free will mind you, I was dragged there by friends)
If you don't want to go somewhere you just don't.

Proof.

1. pound a 40 of your favorite hard liquor before you go.

2. make sure someone brings a videocamera.

3. ????

4. PROFIT!!!

The only con like thing I would ever go to is Comiket.

I think anyone on here who facepalms when going to cons really should take a good look in the mirror . (Then do perhaps 80 situps.)

>>32091995

Oh God, that's great.

Paint thinner works better.
And as a bonus: It will bypass ANY security check.

Came 3rd in Nationals 2 years ago I think.

>>32092630
what the flying fuck?

I don't think I'd be able to handle being surrounded by idiots at a con.

>>32092640
when at any con do they check for drugs or alcohol?

>>32092642
It's a niiiice.

Only the most badass from /a/ will dare to go to a con and still be sane in it

thats her skit if you want to watch it.

>>32092845
What sort of con can it be if there aren't several bars open all hours?

(Answer -- not a con worth going to.)

>>32091699
Bring a camera. Pretend you're playing Pokemon Snap but with life failures instead of pokemon.

>>32092925
Oh lord, I am going to do this an post it here, thanks for the suggestion OP!.

>>32092979
OP=Anon sorry, I was supposed to write "OP here"

I go there like a man on a mission to buy stuff for bargains, everything else and all of the weeaboo faggots I just ignore, I conceal my powerlevel like a professional and go in, get what I need for cheaper than I can find anywhere else, maybe chill with some friends if we find one of the shows interesting and not sickeningly weeaboo, and then get out and back to whatever hotel we're staying at.

>>32093016
At cons I usually find shit is quite a bit more expensive than what I can get it online.

>>32092979
Glad I could help

I agree with you to some extent OP but with all (most?) fan bases there will always be a sea of diarrhea and you just got to deal with it. If it really is so off putting to you then just don't go or at least try and focus on the good cosplays and 'normal' people.

The problem with cons is that they are the worst parts of /a/ mixed with /cgl/ and /jp/

Thats the best way to put it.

Go as a bald space marine.

>>32092925
Oh man, this is genius!

I might go just for the lulz
