Thanks for posting this pic, making her slightly more famous and accessible to me. Fappin at the speedolite

people who glomp despite the fact you're wearing cosplay armor

This is more of a general cosplay pet peeve, but I hate when people don't finish the edges of their costumes. It just looks sloppy, unskilled, and generally bad. :/

>>2469504
bitches don't know about my skin-colored pantyhose

>>2469535 people who glomp period

Fixed.

>>2469630

this, except in my case it's panty-colored skin hose.

I can't stand the sheer level of awkward people who feel the need to dance publicly at cons to animu songs.Take OP for example. There is NOTHING complicated about the choreography of Motteke Sera Fuku, yet they fail so bad, I have to wonder... why bother??? For example, the choreography where Konata is hopping on one leg, her arms are waving in circles... It's pretty damn obvious, yet these girls are just flailing their arms up and down. If you are THAT bad about interpreting choreography, don't dance at cons. It's sad.

I know I sound like some sort of elitist animu dance or Para Para fag, but I'm not. I'm just a former dancer who CAN'T STAND THE AWKWARD.

I'll be the first to say what drives us ALL crazy.

Make-up. Wear it. You are too plain to not wear it.

>>2469667

>> a former dancer

There is no such thing. Or did you lose the use of your legs?

I hate seeing midriffs when they really shouldn't be shown. I mean at cons, people who aren't even cosplaying just show up in really slutty clothes and parade around like they look really good and edgy.

More skin is only sexy if you're not fat and pale.

>>2469667
Oh hey, I don't feel like making a thread, but what do you think about people who do the dances well? A friend and I are going to cosplay Akira and Minoru from Lucky Star, and I thought it might be funny to learn the dance for the two of us to perform. I would make sure we knew it well and could do it to perfection.

>>2469679
I know plenty of "former" dancers (particularly ballet dancers)... A lot of the really devoted ones can't keep dancing after a point because it puts so much strain on your body (and surprisingly ends up with a lot of broken bones).

Most of the dancers I know who are aspiring to dance professionally know that they won't have long careers because of it. It's really kind of sad...

The fact that many fans don't realize that the popular anime dances and dance trends make you look double pathetic if you're doing them alone. Seeing the Haruhi dance already is pretty sad but only one person doing it just makes it even worse

>>2469728
It would still be dumb

>>2469892
Exactly the response I expected

Fat people should not cosplay. Holy fuck shit your too god damn fat, STOP FUCKING EATINGGGGGGG

I hate seeing wholly bland, 4/10 women being gangbanged with attention by a dozen different guys because she's giving them the time of day.

Shit like this is why fat people think it's okay to dress like sluts.

I ask consent of the glompee before glomping them.

Most of the time they will say yes if you sks politely.

-Fatasses pretending to be skinny or not wearing enough clothing.
-Shouting of internet memes.
-Yaoi fangirls who don't know when to shut the fuck up.
-Caramellbullshit.
-Weeaboos trying to be moar azn kawaii.
That's basically it.
The only thing stopping me from pointing out their own stupidity to them is the fact that I'm more interested in the convention itself than the faggots attending it. Plus, I don't like starting unnecessary drama.

>>2469941
>Doesn't like to have people do what they like

>>2469504
a few things underage children acting and flanting around as if there 18 or older! (no wonder pedo bear is kept busy)
randomly yelled out old memes over and over agin!
Glomps (is ok if you ask frist or know the person persnally)
and people who hog up already cramped elavators (such as holds a party in there puts chairs and tables in there so no one can get in to there rooms or back from the rooms to the cons....theres a few more but those make me RAGE

smelly people.

i was in line for pre-reg and the guy in front of me REEKED. HOW ARE YOU SMELLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE CON?!?!?!

I had a brand new jacket for my costume, suit jacket, and some one walked up, poked me with a "fake" knife, tore the jacket, and laughed, saying "I was dead, because those are the rules of the game"

Went to like 6 con last year, saw the same god damn guy with the same god damn cosplay alway talking about tranformer and voton all the damn time.

>>2469954
Those people need to be kicked in the face. They're inconsiderate twerps who bring down other people with their immature childishness.

Anyway, I got the fuck scared outta me because I walked by a gaggle of yaoi fangirls who were watching Light and L cosplayers kiss. Seriously, I thought someone got stabbed or something by the way the screeched. Goddess-damn.

>>2469932
dude, get your keyboard looked at, you got a broken "g" key there bro

>>2469954
>I was dead, because those are the rules of the game"

I am more than a bit confused and angered

It sure does. It sure does.

I've yet to mention yaoi fangirls, because I've really only had to meet one so far.

I was browsing the sales booths, with my girlfriend one hand, when some random hideous skank just starts squeeling and yammering away at me like we're best friends.

"OMG they have the Pretty Princess Boys manga! You SOOOOOO have to get this it's the best thing I have ever, EVER read!! I won't let you go until you buuuuuuuy iiiiiiit."

Me, being the gullible idiot that I am, actually think that it's some ironic gag manga and read the back:
"A pair of twin boys become accepted to the Pretty Princess Academy by mistake... or are they? The brooding Dildoro and lively Bottom-chan are in for the craziest crossdressing adventure of their lives!"

I've never wanted to hit a woman so much in my life.

The thing that pisses me off the most at cons at the moment is people with the urge to spout out bad memes to be "OH SO RANDOM."

Hearing "Buttscratcher!" being screamed every minute gets old by Friday night.
Hearing an aimless game of Marco Polo gets old after an hour or so.
Hearing any reference to The Game makes me want to rip out a live lolita's liver, choke the nearest neckbeard by shoving fava beans down his throat, and shatter the offender's skull with a bottle of Chianti.

(Substitute Otakon 2009 memes for your preferred con's similarly horrible equivalent.)

>>2470191

People using memes outright incorrectly, like Hannibal Lecter quotes, makes me rage.

>>2470202
Um, that's a homage, not a quote. Excuse me for having some culinary style and sophistication in violently lashing out.

>>2469667
going to agree with you.

I don't think I've EVER seen an animu dance done well. It's like they learn just enough to take cues off of eachother and call it a day. These dances are not that complicated, is it so hard to dance them while maintaining eye contact with the audience.

>>2470243

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

yes fuck those who shout out memes at cons...it's not funny, it never WAS funny, it's not going to BE funny.

How about people who can't take no for an answer?

I JUST told you I'm not interested in ANYONE. Men OR women. I think relationships are a waste of time until I graduate. SO KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF.

>>2469667
This is so sad.
America fan's dedication to copy the dances are shit, all half assed. Only a few handful can do it right, and yet Japan can get 100+ people to dance it, at the same time, on ice, and accurately, too.

>>2470191

Oddly enough, I don't have to substitute memes. And I'm on the other side of the country. I do not like this.

You know, guys, one way to go about getting people to stop being retards is to lay it on the line to them. Some middle school girl in shitty face makeup and pipe cleaner antennae that was supposed to be a Heartless tried to run off with my sitar at the last convention I went to. The damn thing was so big compared to her tiny size (because it's scaled to me and I'm 6') that she couldn't get away fast enough, and I promptly walked right up, took it from her, and told her "You don't walk up and try to run off with other people's things. I could haul your ass to con security right now for trying this. Don't do it again." and then I sat it right back where she had taken it from and continued on with the conversation I was having with the rest of my group.

That was probably the most liberating feeling I had all weekend, putting an out-of-line lolrandum MS girl in her place. Conventions do not mean that the normal rules of society don't apply, and if someone has to be reminded of that then I will remind them.

>>2470295
fuck, i hate having to do the "mom" thing at cons. i shouldn't have to tell your dumb ass how to behave in public.

Yaoi fangirls - The bad kind
People who shout internet meme's to be cool (hahahaha no)
People who glomp without asking
Retards who cant understand that a no means no. <- No matter what situation.

Srsly.

>>2470292
That's because the Japanese have dedication. Not only can they copy a dance and have it look great they can make up their own dances. This is evident when you search through niconico douga.

>>2470297

>the "mom" thing

Oh god you're right, I'm becoming my mother.

1. The unwitty, unfunny, obnoxious people shouting when it's not appropriate.

2. Raves. Might as well put a bass line on loop and leave the turn table there while you go smoke a fattie.

3. Druggies/drunkards. I'm getting so sick of these kids. Might as well have a paddy wagon and an ambulance ready outside to drag them out of the con.

4.Yaoi and yaoi accessories. It's been proven none of the yaoi fans can behave in public. Why even sell yaoi in conventions when it attracts a horde of aspies? Why even let said aspies in conventions anymore? :/ Kick their asses out and take out the cancerous lump that is yaoi from conventions forever.

5.People who damage cosplays through some sort of retarded prank or from glomping. Give the cosplayer one good reason why they shouldn't ring your neck and choke slam you?

>>2470345 2. Raves. Might as well put a bass line on loop and leave the turn table there while you go smoke a fattie.

this.
The very first con I attended in 1998 I went to the dance and liked it. Lots of fun. I was like "Wow that party was sure fun last year i wonder what they will do this year"
I walk in and its the same thing and I say "well it was popular, so why not, lets dance!"

The next year I come in and it's the same thing and I am all indignant saying, "Come on! this isn't the only music in the world."
And I never attend a con rave after that.

>>2470490

Then we got Cosplay Balls. Which was a nice welcome change of pace for a while.
Two problems with that though. Few teens attending cons don't know how to properly dress themselves for a nice dance. Even fewer know how to dance outside of hopping around to a fast beat or twirling glow sticks around.

My solution is to just have a GOOD dance. Mix it up, there are songs EVERYONE likes to dance to.... so throw some Daft punk in there with some Justin Timberlake and them some YMCA and then Twist and Shout. Then toss in some anime songs that have great beats like some Initial D music or Macross remixes.
Everyone will have fun and hear "their fave" music at some point.

>>2470510
>YMCA and then Twist and Shout
Hell no. You hear this same repetitive shit at every dance. I want to go to dance where we listen to new artists, songs that you don't hear a lot, etc. And then mix in the new music and some old favorites.

People that scream and people that run. It's like everyone in a con loses the meaning of "social acceptable behaviour" because they are surrounded by other idiots just like them. I usually stop them and tell them that if they cannot behave they should go home and watch Hamtaro, but it only works for 2 minutes, when they lose sight of me they are back to running and screaming.

>>2470517
Thanks for repeating what I just said.
>repetitive shit at every dance
>some old favorites

YMCA and Twist and Shout ARE old favorites. They are played all the time because people like them.

That's the appeal of those dances. Everyone feels like joining in cause they know how it goes.
It's cool to play new things but it can subconsciously make people wary when a beat changes and they feel silly out of sync.
So yeah, new stuff is cool but too much of it and people leave the dance floor.

People who are too lazy to walk 1 to 3 flights of stairs and insist on using the elevator instead thus stalling people who have to go up to level 12.
There was an overweight kid in an Ouran Host Club jacket who seriously was going up 1 flight and was taking the elevator. My friend friend looked at him and said 'Really? You couldn't just take the stairs?' (we were going up to level 12 of the hotel)
His justification was that his jacket was too hot to climb stairs in and he would sweat. My friend: 'You could use a little sweating'

cosplaying and going to panels.

>>2470567
Your friends a dick.

>>2469504
>If she's dumb enough to flash her panties at a camera, she's asking for them to be publicized.
mmm.... that's the whole point of flashing them. It angers you that someone dares to flash their panties?

-When I see two girls re-create yaoi. Lets keep that shit 2D, plz.
-People yelling memes (e.g. the game, etc)
-Caramellshit. LET IT DIE ALREADY. Also, it's painfully hilarious to see people mess up a dance that simple.

I fucking hate the douches who come up to my AA table and paw over every fucking thing I have, put my plushies in their mouths/down their shirts/down their pants/squeeze until stiches pop, then either drop it back on the table and say, "I wish I had money" or even worse, "I don't have any monies, but I give you glomps!!" How fucking rude. Have a little respect for the time and money artists put into their wares.

people that dress up like anime characters piss me off when im at a con.

fucking grow up

people who hate cosplay at cons piss me off

fucking grow up

What annoys me most is all the happy people who aren't ashamed of their interest in anime

Those fucking people who hold up the "Glomp Me" signs and stare you down or just go in for the hug even if you REALLY don't want that damn hug.

That random person you have an awkward greeting with once and somehow afterward you end up seeing them EVERYWHERE.

Oh, and things being way overpriced in the dealer room :(

>>2470191
>>2470191
Oh my dear god this.

The people who have free hugs signs, yet look like they've been convicted of several sex crimes who chase down lolis and ask for hugs, but won't leave them alone if they don't want to hug to hem.

If you've been to Anime Mid Atlantic, you know who I'm fucking talking about.
