Things that make my eyes bleed (minus the sun.... Can't really rage at that even though it does cause them to bleed)

>>2707609
But Mostly People who should not Cosplay but they do and go on to claim they are cute....

the back of the Eyes are going red!

Oh my god OP, I know what you mean. Weird thing is, this is how guys like to hit on me. And not necessarily always at cons.

Girls obsessing over yaoi or people forcing yaoi into things where it's not welcome. Yes, some anime/manga have yaoi or hint at yaoi. But CloudxSephiroth? FUCK NO! IT'S NOT FUCKING YAOI STOP MAKING OUT!!! Shit pisses me off soooo much I want to punt a baby.

Hetalia, just in general. People think everything can be related to it and ANYTHING having to do with something foreign = Hetalia. Needs to die in a fucking fire and I can't wait til people move on to the next obsession.

People thinking they know Japan/Japanese/Japan Culture.

>>2707601
Dude. OP. I seriously just had this conversation with my roommate probably not ten minutes ago. I'm never as horrified by the noisy weeaboos at cons as I am some of the apparently normal people to whom I've spoken.

We met a girl at Katsucon who liked my friend's costume. That's awesome.

This girl then proceeded to give us both her own screwed-up ten-minute life narrative as well as several unpleasant details about her younger sister who was not at the con.

Now, if we'd met in a support group, hey, cool. But we were at an anime convention. It's not as though everyone's hurting for things to talk about. For example:
1: Anime.
2: Cosplay.
3 (Optional, but a pretty good bet): Video games.

And if you've exhausted those options, there's always work/school/other con-goers/con events/the price of an entree at the pub across the street. We don't need to know that your younger sister knows how to cut a bitch "but it's cool, because [you were] the one that taught her that."

We ended the conversation via HAY KNOW WHAT WE GOT TO DO A THING CATCH YOU LATER. But yeah. It's the apparently normal ones. Because I just never see it coming.

>>2707601

This always pisses me off too OP. I lived the first 18 and 1/2 years of my life with two severely ill bipolar siblings [to the point where they can barely function in society].

>>2707601
Right on, OP!

Also, I fucking hate those yaoi/yuri paddles. Thankfully they're now banned at all the cons I frequent. It was getting to the point where stupid weeaboos would run up and smack me so hard with a paddle it almost knocked me over. I was on the verge of snagging the damn things from the owners and smacking them upside the head, but now that the paddles are banned, I can go back to being non-violent.

And... con drama. Especially when it has nothing at all to do with you but maybe it's coming from a friend's friend's roommate's brother's ex or some crap. How the heck it comes down the line to somehow shittify your day, it will be unknown. But really, why. Cons = break from daily life, leave the drama outside.

FUCKING SECONDED OP.
I have DIAGNOSED bipolarism, and you know what it SUCKS. It's not something I go and tell everybody I know about, It's not something I'm proud of or am excited to have. It's something I have to constantly work to keep at bay. It makes me physically ill when people treat bipolarism (or any other disorder) as a joke.

Con-related:
-Fucking LineCons. Cons that have lines so long people start giving them their own convention title.
-Tiny raves filled with children. Shit sucks yo. :<
-SMALL HALLWAYS DSAKLJAA;LJDFSLF /RAGE.

Cosplay-related:
-DERP colors/textures on outfits. I.E., metallic Link.
-DERPWIGS. Hot shiny pink Yoko, for example.

Cosplayers:
-The creepy fat guys that look through the Japanese porn videos.
- "Free Hugs! <3" signs. I love free hugs but jaysus, don't be an attention-seeker about it. :c

>SELF-DIAGNOSED FUCKS. Did you ever go to a doctor to let you know you have ADD/Bipolarism/Etc? No? Read the symptoms on the interwebs and now proclaim said symptoms to give you an excuse to act like a fucktard?
THIS
more and more people on Facebook are claiming to be dyslexic, is that the IN thing now? They can all spell and read perfectly fine!

- SRS BSNS fuckers who can't take 10 minutes of the con to have fun and spend the entire time analyzing everything that moves
- People who refuse to respect personal space. I'll hug you sure, but please don't cling to me/grope me or otherwise touch me without asking
-Unnfished/raw edges JDDFASKDF PLEASE PLEASE ITS NOT HARD TO MAKE A HEM. AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO SIMPLY NOT FINNISH IT PROPERLY AT LEAST MAKE YOUR SERGING IN A SIMILAR COLOUR SO ITS NOT DEAD OBVIOUS

ADHD is a pain to live with. People seem normal but... Without Self-control or meds.... Demonic.. Rage rage..

Anyone who takes things too seriously.

They make me almost want to take things too seriously and rage.

You guys make it like everyone who attends conventions aren't extremely annoying, hyperactive teenagers.

>>2707761

You're forgetting.
Dem 40 year old furries.
There's always two of them.

Want to know what makes me rage?

1. /b/yobs. /b/yobs are not just simply people wearing Guy Fawkes masks, or people using chanspeak. But people shouting 4chan memes WHILE wearing Guy Fawkes masks. I saw this first hand on Otakon 2009 on Saturday night.

2. People who press all the buttons on the elevator. In AnimeUSA 2009, I waited ten minutes for an elevator, I finally get one, it was a bunch of people being twats. One of them just press all the buttons on the elevator, I was so pissed, I did not say anything.

>>2707725
FFFFFF During my first Nominoichi at Anime North, I ended up at a table beside this guy who must have been at least in his 50s selling hentai anime and VNs to these 13 year old boys. He made sure to tell them, in great detail, which scenes were his favourite and how he came during them.

>>2707707
Even though the paddles are banned, some booths will still sell them (the big yaoi booths, for example). They tell you that you can only use it in your hotel room/out of the con, but the people who buy them conveniently don't hear that rule.

>>2707624
Also, this.

>>2707778
FFFFFF. DO NOT WANT. :C

Sometimes...people who say they're a certain anime character and when it comes to a situation that their character is best at solving...they think it's the end of the world. Saying you're like a certain anime character because you're JUST like them and do everything they do inside out ALL DAY in front of friends, don't. I've seen certain people who say they're this strong and awesome character, just to see in the end that they're COMPLETELY dependent of people, are scared to walk a 'dim' SAFE block across the street and don't know how to get home or learn to take a bus.

>>2707790

It's like seeing Captain Planet litter. :[

>>2707790
They're being themselves?
There's nothing wrong with that.

>>2707775
>people shouting 4chan memes
>people wearing Guy Fawkes masks
This. While I hail from /b/, there's a time and place for chanspeak: 4chan; and you shouldn't be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask unless you are cosplaying Guy Fawkes.

Although as long as they don't act like complete tards, I don't really care. I remember an Awesomeface TF2 spy and a Guy-Fawkes-in-a-suit-with-staff-badge at AX09 who didn't talk and were therefore alright.

I hate those people at cons who suddenly just latch onto you and start talking about their life story.

Every con I go to I always run into people like this.

When people are too in character.
2 Narutards going at it. " IMA BETTER NINJA *PUNCH*"
NO I AM BELIEVE IT *KICK*"

CUT IT OUT.
YOU DON'T SEE THE DBZ GUYS GANGING UP ON CELL, OR THE RESIDENT EVIL GUYS BEATING UP ZOMBIES.

AND YAOI PADDLES
FUCK
IF I GET HIT THIS YEAR IM GONNA FUCKING BREAK IT AND RIDER PUCH YOU TO LAST YEARS CON.
/rage

People who take it far too srs and scrutinise little details, ESPECIALLY when they start drama or pissing contests about it: GTFO, it ruins everyone's fun.

Self-obsessed fans who act like anyone with a different opinion or interpretation than theirs on a fandom/character/etc. are morally bankrupt and should be JUDGED INFINITELY. I've dealt with people like this a lot in the past, and the vast majority of them are massive brats.

>>2707601
>>2707704
>>2707722

That + when you're at a great con party, talking to great people and SOMEBODY--usually a smelly guy or a giant hambeast woman (no offense smelly guys or fat ladies with great personalities!)--will suddenly out of the blue bring up how their dad raped them when they were five or something equally as traumatic, disturbing, and what the fuck do you say to that. Why.

>>2707609
>the sun

GOD, I FUCKING HAT THAT THING!
"OH, I'm the SUN! Plants LOOOOVE me! I'm the sustainer of all life on earth" BLAH DE- BLAH-DE BLAAAAAH!!

FUCK YOU SUN! FUCK YOU!

>>2707847

Dude, that reminds me of this time one of my friends got flipped off and yelled at by some chick because she mentioned she liked a pairing between her favorite character and the girl's favorite character. Other girl took it WAY too personally, I guess.

>>2707707
Ugh. My friend at I each bought one of those when we were like 12. To this day she still hits me with it whenever she gets the chance.

>>2707743
This. I have it, have to be medicated. What sucks morea bout it is that it's hard to take the meds BECAUSE of ADHD in the morning. Then you can't fucking function...it's like a bad computer virus.
>>2707842
THIS!

>>2708016
And the days you realize that you walked out the door without taking it? Yeah

Cosplaying as original characters. For some reason, this pisses me off. Especially when they feel they NEED to tell you about how deep there character is. I made the mistake of acting interested in this one girls shitty Naruto cosplay (we were in line so I thought "why not start a conversation") and she talked about her character for like 20 minutes without taking a breath.

>>2707725
>-DERP colors/textures on outfits. I.E., metallic Link.
YES THANKS

My personal list:
- People who act all friendly and open before the masq, then get sulky and rude after they don't win.
- People who try to godmod everything
- People who wear the same costume as you... then glare at you. Or try to steal your date.

I've only been to one con so far (Otakon last year), and the only complaints I really have so far are:

1) People who complain about con-memes like they hurt the con in some way(buttscratcher, for example).
2) People who troll the con for women to stare at (which is a reason why my girlfriend won't dress up, even in non-slutty attire).
3) Lack of friendliness, too many people just rushing around and shoving people or bumping into them without apologizing.

That's about it.

I don't go to cons.

I just frequent this board for pictures that I can fap to ... ;_;

I hate haters.

>>2708912
Bigger cons like Otakon are notorious for 2. and 3. You'll have people complain about memes at every con though, so yeah. I don't mind it, just the ones that get in your face and do it nonstop.

I hate trolls at most, that just go to ruin everything for everyone. Course you will always get those, so no way to stop them.

The crazy, rabid narutards that just scream and hump air like they are in heat. The reason I don't like dressing up as Chouji anymore. :/ Fandom went to hell..oh wait, it was already their, just my tiny mind hide it the first few cons.

The stuck up people that go to cons just to show off their costumes, but not want pictures taken by anyone.

The yaoi paddle thing sounds bad, I've been going to cons for about 6 years and I've never had anyone come up to me and smack me with it. Maybe it's because I'm a male cosplayer. Are most of the people getting smacked female?

Cons I usually attend: sakura con, anime evolution, kumori con, aki con

>>2708912
>1) People who complain about con-memes like they hurt the con in some way(buttscratcher, for example).

Just wait until you get stuck in the masq line next to some socially deficient 14 year old girl who shouts "I LOST THE GAME LOL" literally every minute. That was pretty fucking awful.

We wouldn't complain if people weren't obnoxious idiots about it.

>>2709029

No, I had to deal with my fair share of that crap too, especially since my fat friend was deadset on making EVERYBODY lose the game, while my other friend, and I don't like telling people this, was the one who started the buttscratcher thing, so guess what I got to hear about the entire con?

It just never annoyed me to the point where I felt like I needed to complain though.

The game. It's the oldest fucking joke in the world, and hasn't been funny since I've been in the 8th grade.

>>2709041
Then you, sir, are either a saint or almost one of them. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Seriously, what on earth is funny about randomly shouting some of this nonsense? "BUTTSCRATCHER!" "Yes! I honestly have nothing better to say because I enjoy acting like a 5 year old!"
For goodness' sake, have a decent conversation with someone. Isn't that much more rewarding than a few pitying chuckles and dirty looks? Oh wait no, you might get some high-fives or laughs from the other pre teens who suddenly think you're the most clever thing EVER. Charming.
You may not be hurting the logistics of the con itself, but it kills the atmosphere. I'd like to think that most of us are civil human beings who happen to share a fun hobby. When you run around and scream like a fucktard, that all kind of goes to cock, don't you think?

...

I think I feel a little better now.
