>>2414254
And people who think that overusing memes is funny. Seriously, keep Internet inside of Internet.

silly anon you are the cancer of conventions

Yaoi anything.

Anyone who tries to sabotage anyone else. I've heard of some crazy shit going down backstage and it's disgusting what people will do for a piece of paper and a small handful of cash that, ultimately, mean nothing.

people who completely and ultimately fail cosplay. yeah a few things wrong is ok but sometimes it just gets horrible inb4 fat cosplay

>>2414271
but fat cosplay is fail cosplay. unless they are cosplaying a fat person

Carameldansen, hare hare yukai, lucky star dancing, kids with boom boxes, and the you lost the game bullshit.

Pretty much anybody that goes to conventions to try to get laid

>Smelling faggots.
I hate people with a sense of smell too >:(

>>2414278
Smelling in meaning "HOLY SHIT DID HE SLEEP IN HORSE PISS OR SOMETHING?!"

>>2414282
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

>>2414286
Stinking then. Satisfied?

People who bring their fucking kids.

I swear, I was bumping into little demons left, right, and centre at FanExpo this year. YOUR KIDS DO NOT WANT TO BE THERE, HIRE A FUCKING BABYSITTER AND LEAVE THEM AT HOME.

>>2414258
It isn't that bad, but when the rabid fangirls come out, it's like nuclear faggotry.
>>2414261
How do they sabotage?

The annoying fat weaboos are the cancer.

>>2414290


No bb, keep strokin. I'm almost there. :D

>>2414290
I think you mean smelly or stinky.

self-important tripfags

>>2414302
This

an inept retards that blame their lack of social skills on everyone else

>>2414306
I've heard of props being broken, trailing dresses being stepped on, wigs getting snipped, clothing torn...all "by accident," though then the people who do it have come onto 4chan or the original CosFu and given the story firsthand. It was more common quite some time ago, but it still happens and it's truly disgusting behavior.

Three Things:

a) "Fan Character Cosplay" - Mary Sues ruin everything, and when asked "Who are you supposed to be?" always starts a long conversation that no one gives a shit about

"Her name is Norriko, she is a half fox half demon shinigami who saved Edward Elric from the Chimeras"

b) Vic Mignogna Fans

Try going to ANY Q&A for Vic Mignogna, you will lose your sense of hearing after 10 minutes.

c) Anime Game Shows

"IN EPISODE 32 OF DEATH NOTE, WHAT DID MELLO SAY TO LIGHT AFTER HE SHITNOONECARESABOUT."

There is a reason these people were not hired to replace Bob Barker on "Price is Right"

Free hugs
Free yaoi
Free kisses
Will hug for pocky/food
Will yaoi for pocky/food
Will kiss for pocky/food

People moving your shit in sleeprooms.

>>2414258
I'm not a fan of Yaoi but it is a huge branch of anime and manga. Get over yourself, move on.

Today?
>Those creepy guys who you talk for a second and then they follow you for the rest of convention.
Happened to me 1998
>Smelling faggots
Every anime convention ever from the middle ages until now.

>>2414333
>Try going to ANY Q&A for Vic Mignogna, you will lose your sense of hearing after 10 minutes.

No. I will do no such thing.

-People who fail at attempting Japanese fashion
-Haruhi cosplays (just because there's a second season doesn't mean it's cool)
-Vocaloid cosplays
-APH cosplays

Big fat Italians.

>>2414439
not just APH... fanmade APH

"Don't you know who I am? I AM PORTUGAL!"

>>2414439
Don't hate on APH
Dressing as Russia gives me an excuse to drink vodka

People who throw room parties and get drunk. This is a convention, do it on your own time, conventions are for cosplay, not for your frat house drinking game bullshit so that I get hit on by drunk bros. I can't stand people not in costume at cons. I also can't stand people who cosplay from something and get offended if you don't know from where its from, like some 1980s anime nobody watches anymore.

>>2414439
I don't see anything wrong with cosplaying from Haruhi, Vocaloid, APH, etc. unless they're just doing it because everyone is and they throw together some half-assed costume.

On a side note, the Hetalia fandom fucking scares me.

>>2414531
Is Hetalia really that bad? I didn't think that it was mainstream enough for it to get a hugely annoying fanbase yet.

>>2414261

I wanna hear stories of this.

>>2414531

The hetalia fandoms fits right in with every other fucked up fandom. It gives the KH kiddies another outlet.

>>2414510
>I can't stand people not in costume at cons.

Really? I hope you're just talking about the types who act like douchebags. Which can easily be some cosplayers too. Because otherwise you're just being silly.

>>2414510

what the fucking fuck? Room parties are the single reason I GO to conventions. Fuck panels.

>>2414302
As long as they are not crying and in costume, it's kinda cute. Sure, 2 year old Toon Link babies probably count as some form of child abuse, but at least you can go d'awwww and be a little less bitter when they are in costume. As long as they aren't dressed up as Baby Mario.

Attention whores.

Oh, wait...

>>2414510

NO FUN ALLOWED

>>2414560

Ugly douche detected. Go drink somewhere else like a bar.

>>2414635
Fucking square. People can do whatever they want. They paid for the room and if they want to go drink there then thats their fucking perogative. Anyways, drinking at a bar is way too expensive.

>>2414641
>square
Oh wow, didn't think anyone still used that as an insult.

>>2414645
Well, hun, sorry but you fit right into that box.

niggers

>>2414653
Niggers and fags.

>>2414650
You are making a mistake. I am not >>2414635.
I don't have issues with people drinking at cons, as long as they don't puke or soil themselves in public or do anything to make normal, sober and possibly underage con-goers uncomfortable. As long as you don't inflict your drunken stupidity on anyone else, I say party on.

>>2414661
Ah, ok. You're not a square then. You're a circle XP

-fad dances [Carameldansen etc]
-bad hygiene
-sloppy fat PDA
-excessive use of 'outside voices' in small areas
-bad attitudes in big dresses in tiny elevators
-obnoxious staff

Also.. I am NOT about to try to bar hop in Baltimore or DC.. so you can deal with my friends and I getting hammered. sorry.

>>2414510
Oooh, you almost got me. I was halfway through typing a bitch-leave-your-parents'-suburban-house comment. 9/10.

Con goers are usually overweight with poor hygiene and worse manners. Con goers are the cancer, clearly.

>>2414510
>I can't stand people not in costume at cons.

i think thats kinda dumb, not everyone can sew, or is even interested in dressing up, cons are not just for the cosplay... you can meet voice actors, some cons have concerts with bands from japan, there are panels, and you can meet famous people who play a big role in the anime world

>>2414655

niggerfaggots : /

>>2414302
>>2414276
FUCKING THIS.

The last time I was at a con there was a guy that threw a paper airplane that said "YOU LOST THE GAME." He ran over to me trying to get it back and I ripped it in half and gave it back to him.

Free Hug fags. When I say don't fucking touch me I mean it so don't just do it anyway!

>>2415053

THOSE FUCKERS HAVE MADE IT TO JAPAN.
Fuckin...can't go anywhere around meiji-jingu mae or shibuya scramble without seeing those fucks.

Girls who think they're suddenly hotties at cons.

>>2415160

this.

People who expect you to know every little detail about the character you are cosplaying, and get pissed of when you don't. This pisses me off the most at cons! Yes, I watched the anime but that doesn't mean I remember every single line, or the obscure fanmade side episode

When I see "Free Hugs" signs at USA cons. Leave it to the Aussies plz

/cgl/

>>2414254
what i find funny is that all the free hugs stuff is from super immature unattractive girls looking for physical contact with attractive/older men

i feel bad for my bf.. he gets it a lot, it almost makes me want to start holding his hand in public so the girls avoid him, but a sick part of me enjoys watching him suffer LOL

>>2415056
best be joking nigger.

ITT: People who started going to anime cons thinking they were fashion contests, but found out they're actually for people who like the medium and are fans of the shows who feel no need to act like 14 year old catty bitch girls.

>>2414510
>People who throw room parties and get drunk. This is a convention, do it on your own time, conventions are for cosplay, not for your frat house drinking game bullshit so that I get hit on by drunk bros.

Check it out, its someone who didn't start going to anime cons before, oh, 2005 or so.

Every convention in every genre has drinking and partying. The only reason that anime cons have gotten away from it is because the goddamn age demographic got skewed to a median of 12 years old around 6-7 years back. It's just now finally getting back to the point where people who aren't high schoolers can enjoy anime cons again.

Now if we can just get rid of the catty cosplayers who think anime cons are some sort of national popularity contest touring show, and things can get back to how they were before the kids started showing up.

Oh, and btw, if you're not 18 or older, don't stay at the convention hotel. You're just ruining it for everyone else.

>>2415213

Nope, not a joke.

>>2414551
the worst thing about Hetalia is when you realize the people cosplaying the characters have almost no historical knowledge about WWII

>>2415056

on one hand, glompers need to be beat down

on the other hand, the average Japanese person learning to deal with non-sexual contact from the opposite sex on a casual basis can only help their rampant, bizarre ideas of interaction between the genders

>>2414302
Yes. Children HATE going to giant parties about cartoons where they are often showered with attention.

>>2414510
I completely agree. We should get rid of all those faggots with cameras and anyone else not wearing a costume that's not Naruto or Bleach.

Modern Anime fans who like trash shows, and show disdain and scorn for anything they deem "too deep".

Anime fans who don't have a history of being nerds. (Back in the 80's and 90's most to all anime fans were sci-fi/fantasy geeks who loved Star Wars, Star Trek, ect) Now all I see is garbage children that used to be the cancer back in high school taking over anime cons and being cancer there too.

fuck ya'll . I liked it when my conventions were 100% neckbeardy and reeked of virgin for life. There was more passion then.

generic young females cosplaying as popular anime characters who kill my buzz for hitting on them while I'm trying to party.

>>2415056
Bitches best stay out of Meiji-Jingu-mae. >:[

>>2415298

They're usually there on Sundays.
You know. The only time anyone is ever there.

:/

This thread is meaningless. I love it even so.

>>2414684

Affirmative.

>>2414302

these
don't bring your fucking kids. if someone is under the age of 16, they should not be at an anime con after it gets dark. if you can manage to get your kids to be somewhere else after that time, it's okay.

drinking at a con is going to happen. people are cutting loose and silly behavior will occur which not everyone likes. however, like any other situation, drinking should be done carefully. if you drink until you hurl, pass out, or start making extremely embarassing social moves like sleeping with an extremely ugly person or making highly personal delarations... you are doing it wrong. many people from my generation do not seem to know this. it's not a contest, and it can actually be dangerous to have too much to drink. the goal is to get an amazing buzz and keep it going for as long as possible. not to pass out and choke to death on a puddle of your own puke. do not do this and try not to let your friends do this.

when did con dances become "raves?" they didn't used to be. people have more diverse tastes in music than just happy hardcore and youtube memes. since it's an anime convention, can we at least get some danceable jpop and jrock? i personally hate most happy hardcore and pure electronic music, but i put up with it. but at the last con i was at, the dj felt pressured to include only that type of music, obviously knew nothing about it, and as a result played the same list of about 30 or so songs over and over both nights. i felt like i was listening to a top 40 radio station from hell. we are not ravers. most people are not taking x. many weeaboos are out of shape and may hurt themselves trying to jump up and down repeatedly for 4+ hours. can we just accept this, stop trying to jump on the next cool thing bandwagon and move on with our lives?

>>2415296
girls who dress in revealing costumes, and then confuse men's obvious interest in the parts they are revealing with creeperism. a person you are not interested in expressing interest in you is not automatically a creeper. if your tits or ass are hanging out, people are going to look. it will draw male attention and you will get hit on. if you don't want this and find it creepy, next time try cosplaying a character with a whole shirt.

>>2415381

jesus, this x1,000,000

there's nothing worse than someone who is deliberately dressing to attract attention who then complains that people keep checking out their bodies and hitting on them

>>2415367

Solution against Free Hugers - stay behind them with a plate saying "Premium Hugs - 1$".
I made 12$ out of that just because some people liked the idea.

>>2415408
it makes me sad that most people don't know what free hugs is about and how the new movement started. Even what band helped it along!

>>2415489
free hugs are a great idea in concept, but at my local cons it's usually creepy looking guys. one year we had a very sucessful free hugs guy, he was one of those rare guys who is cuddly without turning it into a sexual thing, and was fairly socially skilled. he just believed in the idea that people could use more positive physical contact in their lives and thought it would be a good icebreaker. then a bunch of creepers started doing it because they noticed how many girls were hugging, glomping, cuddling, and generally hanging around him. this ruined it.

fucking people who think it is fine to touch someone because they have the same interest...
FUCK DAMN it was only a few days ago that the bruise on my leg from some fucking nut biting me faded away. That was from fucking thanksgiving!

>The cancer of conventions today.

Teenage girls. The standard 20-something otaku have always had their own breeds of bullshit like not bathing and being horny bastards, but the influx of teenage girls has brought the most recent cancerous developments. Namely:

1. Drama
2. Yaoi

Cons would be 100% more enjoyable without them.

>>2415287
I find it a pity I didn't go to cons at that era. Honestly, they're the only decent people at conventions anymore. I'm browsing through 500 shitty squealing fanfags just to spot them hanging out in the games room or playing Magic someplace.

>>2414276
Please say you have an exception to the people who bring their boom boxes in order to have breakdance sessions at the con. Those folks are so awesome

>>2415433
You watched that youtube video, didn't you?

>>2415655

Seconded. My mom was pretty protective of me (mostly with good reason, tbh, actually having been to cons now) and didn't let me go to cons until I was 17. I go to cons and don't really feel any sort of connection with 99% of the people there other than the friends I go with. It's fantastic when you do find those people who are totally on the same wavelength as you though. I can only imagine what it would have been like in the pre-2000 years...

>>2415614

This.. I'm a girl and I had another girl come up and glomp me... she was wearing cat ears and a cat tail as her "costume" and was like ÏM GONNA CLING TO YOU COS IT MAKES ME KAWAII SQUEE ^_^

>>2415367
OH MY FUCKING GOD TO HELL AND BACK THIS.

I'm so sick of raves. I dont think there is a need for some place in the con where I can get possibly fucking stuck in the MINDLESS RAVAN DIMENSION.

At first I enjoyed raves until I realized it was the same shit OVER AND OVER AGAIN. UNCE UNCE UNCE FUCK YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN THE CORNER UNCE UNCE.

Another thing I'm getting sick of is the abundance of dumb as fuck teens that are looking to be obnoxious and try to spread their drinkan, smokan, and pill poppan habits to everyone else. (I remember reading that some faggots spiked the water in the rave with ectasy in one con and half the room was tripping balls.)

Sick of signs, people shouting memes and jokes in an attempt to be funny and so random ^____^ -holds up spork-

I could continue to rant forever, but my complaints have already been highlighted by other people.

>>2415614

Were you bitten at Tomodachi Fest by any chance, SlowMope?

>>2415433

i was thinking of doing this myself, cos some fat maids where giving out free hugs and i thought it would be funny to follow them around and have them see people PAY ME to hug them lol

>>2415287

>>2415708
i feel your pain...
some ugly fat girl randomly hugged me when i was passing a line. it was so gross, and unexpected, and gross, and i'm a bit f a germ a phobe

>>2415746
>spiked with E

That's fucking amazing.

>>2414560
I'm expecting some awesome parties judging from what I've been told from people that have gone to AX for many years. It'll be my first con ever and I'll be attending as press, too.

>>2415367
That's the thing, though. Kids don't know their limits like older drinkers do, which is why you see them puking their guts out and act stupid. I also blame crappy parents that hide alcohol from their kids until they turn 16, increasing the appeal of alcohol for them.

>>2415746
On the whole "con rave" joke: Cons really have no clue when it comes to hiring a competent DJ and its worse when they give the job to a volunteer according to the stories I've been told.

If it were up to me, I'd be spinning a full spectrum of music (stuff like reggaeton, hard house, club mixes and jungle) not just the j-core/gabber/trance garbage that seems to pass for "con rave" music these days thanks to congoers and DJs with no real sense of taste.
