>>3566160

It's like I'm at a con. Right now.

The Furry

Description: Anime has catgirls and mascots, so clearly it's all furry underneath. If you talk to them they'll tell you how every character is totally a fox, or a rabbit. On the inside. They'll even show you their shitty fan art of it.

Favorite anime: Anything by CLAMP, or whatever no one else has done yet

Warning: Take a picture and move on, unless you're praising them they don't want to hear it.

OP Here.

Thanks guys. If you want to post up the average ones and your descriptions. They are better than mine.

Might even make a game out of this next time a major con comes around. Everyone takes pics of one of the Congoers and whoever gets the most wins. Would certainly spice things up

The Grrl Gamer/Otaku

Description: Look out smelly boys! This fandom isn't just for you anymore! They're here and they have tits and that means they're extra special and you should worship the ground they walk on. But EEEEW, don't hit on them! This of course includes even looking in their direction, "OMG that guy was all over me! How gross! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean you can eye rape me! Jerk!"

The Mouth Breather

Description: This congoer only emerges from his parent's basement once a year to go to this very con because "No one else understands them." Their days are filled with warcraft and cheetos, their nights with school girl anime. They know far too many details about their favorite shows because there is nothing else in their lives.

Uniform: Sweat pants, baggy stained shirt, neck beard, extra fat and BO

Warning: If you get stuck near them do not initiate conversation, nothing good can come from speaking with such a bitter soul.

>>3566253
Consider it's a /jp/ neet I'm going to guess fave anime (well series, not anime) would be Touhou.

The Doll Lady

Description: This congoer believes that their expensive ball jointed doll is imbued with its own special soul and is possibly their boyfriend. They'll tell you all about this piece of plastic's personality and how much each of their tiny articles of clothing cost them.

>>3566262

No, unfortunately such experiences are not unique, but I do know the copy pasta of which you speak.

The Fatlus

i'm female but it fits.
and i'd switch fma with "pretends he doesn't watch anime and is a vn/touhou elitist"

The "Nice" Guy

Description: This man hasn't possibly ever gotten laid, and he's convinced that the only way into a woman's pants is to follow her around like a subservient slave, though in reality this means every girl that doesn't find him too creepy to stand has permanent friend zoned his ass. He's seen often offering to buy girls meals, drinks, anime goods, tshirts, plushies, candy, anything that will get them to talk to him for five minutes more.

Uniform: Out of date fashion, dirty white running shoes, fanny pack, possible pony tail.

Favorite anime: Love Hina

Uniform: Matching Cosplay / Uniform

Warning: [See The Girlfriend Guy.]

I'm definitely the Chaperone. Reading too many convention horror stories has made me expect the worst.

>>3566350

Lol... The crazy thing is horror stories are what makes Cons so... Fun!

>>3566219
Last three cons I've been to I've fallen under that critieria. I buy some manga and figurines, take photos, hang out with a small group of friends and we sometimes go out to explore the city where the con's taking place. No cosplay, play a little bit of vidya, make fun of the bad cosplayers, praise the good and more obscure ones, sometimes go to watch anime or a panel if it's something decent. Once it's the last day or I get bored before it I leave.

The Alpha Nerd

Description: What anime do you like? Well they read the manga years ago, before all you fagots ruined it. It's horrible now that EVERYONE likes it. They will obnoxiously correct you on any little thing to do with any series and constantly have to one up everyone around them. Did you buy a DVD? Well they have the box set at home. Did you get a poster? Well they have three wall scrolls at home. Clearly no one is a real fan except for them.

Uniform: T shirt with the most obscure/newest series possible.

Favorite Anime: Oh, you wouldn't know it. It's not out in America yet.

Warning: No fun is allowed near this congoer.

The Pirate

Description: This person paid fifty dollars plus to sit in the lobby with their laptop and hard drive with thousands of hours worth of pirated anime on it despite the fact there are rooms showing anime less then ten yards away. They always seem to be planted in the same spot, their laptop volume turned to maximum, doing the very thing they do every day at home.

Uniform: Baggy, dirty clothes. Possibly been sleeping on the floor in their hotel room or the con halls.

Favorite anime: Haruhi, Naruto, or what ever fan subs are popular right now.

Warning: Look out for their power cords, they like to stretch them across the hallways.

>>3566160
>Thanks for your request.
>It has been added to our database and the thread will be archived as soon as enough request for that thread have been made.
>This thread has been requested 1 times now.

The Yaoi Fangirl

Description: Did you know that every character in every series ever made is secretly gay and hooking up behind the scenes? Even the ones with hetero love interests, families and children. It's all to hide who they truly are because society doesn't understand. These congoers are often seen encouraging cosplayers to make out, but raging if a female character is present in the group.

Uniform: Ita wa-loli, baggy tshirts and jeans with wolves on them, naruto head bands and of course, yaoi paddles.

Warning: Can be deadly when enraged or excited. Their glomp attack is known to be devastating because of their extra mass, and their yaoi paddles are often used with out discretion. While an interesting creature to observe, make sure it is from a safe distance.

The Closet Case

Description: This is a girl who denies any love of anime in public and only reveals her powerlevels when tricked or bribed by her closest friends. The only reason she came to the con was enduring months of begging from her friends; now she's in an uncomfortable costume that she barely agreed to and is shuffling through the dealer's room or artist's alley redfaced and stuttering because she can't stand the embarrassment of actually enjoying herself. Every once in a while she'll pick up something she might want or point out a cosplayer that excites her with a stifled squeal, then retreat to the bathroom, mortified.

Uniform: Something from an anime she'll admit to having watched only after repeated questioning.

Favorite anime: Any of the Gundam series, Franken Fran, or Cowboy Bebop

Warning: By the end of the con will have out-weeabooed even the middle-school furry yaoi fangirls due to overstimulation.

The Normal Cosplayer:
Description: In a costume, usually of a fairly well known anime. Likes Shonen Jump, DBZ, Cowboy Beebop, Hellsing, and has heard of most of the harem moe but does not really watch them. Also enjoys gaming but is not good enough to spend more than a round in any of the gaming rooms.

Uniform: Camera + Bag and Common Cosplay. Not good enough to enter into competition, but he/she wouldn't want to anyway with all the drama.

Favorite Anime: Likes lots of anime, but probably Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell:SAC

Warning: Most likely commisioned the costume, but hey, at least he/she ironed it.

The Elitist Fan

Description: The one that thinks they know everything about anime. Only watches series they believe to be above average understanding. Moe? Only if you're a japanophile. Elfen Lied? Baccano? Fuck that shit, how about watching something by a true artist like Satoshi Kon or Studio Shaft.

Uniform: They're too good for conventions and hambeast attention whore hobbies like cosplaying. They'd be at home wearing their Galactic Empire shirt - with only the logo of course, but you mainstream weeaboos wouldn't understand.

Favorite Anime: Kino's Journey, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and either Bakemonogatari or The Tatami Galaxy

Warning: Never mention to them that you watch streams. Or mainstream anime. Or anime in general.

>>3566418

>Not good enough to enter into competition, but he/she wouldn't want to anyway with all the drama.
>Warning: Most likely commisioned the costume, but hey, at least he/she ironed it.

You're a dramafaggot.

The adorable child

Description: This child is usually under the age of 5 and has no idea what a con even is. Usually is either carried around or in a stroller driven by their parents.

Uniform: Some kind of usually cute costume and a bewildered expression.

Favorite anime: whatever is on

Warning: Strollers are tripping hazards and lane blockers, parents carrying children will also move more slowly. Don't knock them over or the adorable child may become a cranky child.
-----

Cranky child

Description: This child has no idea what's going on, doesn't want to be here, is probably tired, hot, hungry or any combination of all of the above and still their parents are dragging them around.

Uniform: Sometimes an uncomfortable uniform, an obviously upset expression.

Favorite anime: I want to go home!

Warning: Give them a wide berth- their parents aren't likely to remove them from the con anytime soon.

Has anyone noticed that we have skipped Weeaboos and Hambeasts?

The Regular Dude.

Description: They're there but you don't ever really notice it unless you were hanging out with them or you knew them. Well, unless they're wearing a cosplay from whatever they're fond of without being neckbreathing, screaming fangirls about it.

Uniform: Whatever they'd wear on the street, or whatever cosplay they feel like. Nothing grand or eye catching, usually, but still nice quality.

Favorite anime: Varies from Dude to Dude.

Warning: Fangirling or being an elitist near them may result to you getting laughed at or them moving far, far away from you for the rest of the con.

Would give a thousand internets to someone if they made a scavenger card with all of these, just like the OP's pic.

>>3566425
>uncomfortable *costume

whoops, derp.

>>3566427
I'll do hambeast right now.

The Japanophile

Description: This congoer is only here as a substitute for glorious Nippon. They speak in broken Japanese phrases, say they don't need to read the subtitles on the anime, and call everyone "chan". They insist you call them by their "real" more "kawaii" name "Sakura", and heaven help you if you forget to add "chan." They're going to Japan someday to be a beautiful aidoru/mangaka/seiyuu and don't you try to stop them, they've only just begun to shine.

Uniform: Ill fitting kimono or yukata, possibly with full geisha make up, or what they think geisha make up is. They will always have pockey, mocchi or some other amazing treat from the orient they are stuffing in their fat face.

Favorite anime: Genshiken

Warning: You will not understand anything they say, even if you speak Japanese. Theirs is a language all their own.

>>3566431

OP here.

Im working on it bro. Just without the pictures. Any who keep a lookout over the next few days for it. Probs gonna be a series if they keep coming in like this

The Hambeast(s)

Description: A common convention occurrence that comes in two special flavors: male and female. You'll smell them coming from meters away and won't be able to move once they get in your way.

Uniform: For the male hambeast form we have a pair of cargo shorts and an old faded shirt either featuring the likes of Trigun or an outdated and unfunny internet meme. As the girls? "Tee-hee, don't hit on me you silly boys" they chortle as they prance in their bright pink lolita that looks like cupcake vomit or mediocre cosplay that can barely contain their fleshy mass. Goffs are also a common occurrence, not like you'd be able to understand their deep meaningfulness.

Favorite anime: Bleach, DearS, anything featuring cutre or sexy characters because anime is soooo kawaii desu ^w^

Warning: Avoid sleeping in hotel rooms with them unless you want to have to step around their dirtied undergarments covering the floors and watch them wolf down all of the food you bought beforehand.

The "Moe" Girl

Description: This girl thinks she knows what the anime boys like, and she is going to "Nyu" "Nani" and pouty face it up until everyone loves her. She speaks in a sweet sugary tone, pretends to cry at the slightest provocation, makes cat like motions with her hands, and is trying so terribly hard it is actually physically painful to watch.

Uniform: Maid outfit, cat girl, school girl, anything they think a man will think is cute

Favorite Anime: DiGi Charat

Warning: Being near this congoer for more then five minutes may cause you to compulsively strangle her.

>>3566451
I think I hate this one most of them all.

The Westener.

Description: The OBVIOUSLY western white guy at the convention. This guys catchphrase is "Hey is this anything like Comicon?" Bane of all Fantards and Neckbeards. If this were the 1920's this congoer would be lynched and strung in the mainhall for everyone to clap.

Uniform: Any Marvel / DC cosplay.

Warning: Do not befriend, they are likely to be ran out of the convention by angry Neckbeards and Narutards.

The Party Animal

Description: This con is just one long party you're not cool enough to get into. This congoer goes from room party to the dance to room party to drinking in the back of an anime screening to another room party to passing the fuck out. They are constantly inebriated off of something, be it booze, weed, or ecstasy, and by the end of the weekend they'll be so ragged they can barely stand.

Uniform: Sunglasses at night, shirt optional, frat boy grin

Favorite anime: DBZ ...Honestly, they mostly play halo. They just think anime chicks are easy.

Warning: While they can be fun in small doses, they're often over powering and loud over an extended period. Have fun with them during one room party, but don't invite them to do anything else.

1/2

2/2

>>3566470

Dont we all?

The Protester

Description: Did you know that god hates fags? How about that we're all doomed to hell for liking our child pornographic Japanimations? Jesus is our only hope and they're here to tell us. Though they're not allowed inside they can be seen in a small cluster just outside the convention center, usually surrounded by a group of cosplayers taking amazingly hilarious photos.

Uniform: Proper attire, protest signs, megaphone, look of righteous disgust

Favorite anime: Jesus saves!

Warning: No warning, go have fun with these guys, it's always hilarious.

The Weeaboo.

Description: 12-17 year old age range. Devout lover of all things Japanese - by which we mean mainstream anime, cuz all Japanese people love that stuff, right?

Uniform: Naruto headband, Bleach wristband, and a Death Note shirt because THAT'S HARDCORE, like ELFEN LIED AND SOUL EATER YEAHHH.

Favorite Anime: Anything Shonen Jump or Big 3 related - except for One Piece bcuz OMG 4KIDS KIDDIE SH*T, AMIRITE

Warning: Avoid mentioning anything from before 2000 or in the recent seasons. Birdy? What's that, some shit about animals? Why don't you watch a REAL anime, like Fullmetal Alchemist or Code Geass?!?1

The Hater

Description: This person was dragged here forcibly, and they are not happy. They may be a younger or older sibling, a boyfriend or parent. They're stuck in this hell hole and they are going to complain about it. It's clearly too hot, crowded and full of annoying fags. They're hoping that if they make enough fuss they'll get to leave.

Uniform: Completely normal clothes.

Favorite anime: We ALWAYS do what YOU want to do!

Warning: Try to tune them out completely and just remember that as bad as your con experience may get, at least you don't have that bitch following you around.

Them...

Description: Them. The volatile and virulent concoction that occurs at every. single. fucking. convention. Not a single entity but a collection of every single female congoer. All there for different reasons. The Hambeasts for any leftovers that fall from the top rungs. The Cosplayers hanging out with those beneath them for the all important ego boost and the small collection of weaklings that need stronger alpha females to support them. Once you are inside there is no escape.

Uniform: Every female example shown above.

Favourite Anime: Every Female example shown above.

Warning: If you do not get out whilst you have a chance then may god have mercy on your soon to be killed, crushed and destroyed soul. You shall not be forgotten kind soul as you bought everyone else time to escape... Them...

The Wildcard

Description: This congoer thinks their kookiness makes them fun, cute, spontaneous and unique. They do things that deny explanation. They may lay down in the middle of the hall, take a stranger by the hand and lead them in circles, or do a hand stand and then flop down on their back. They'll then simply stare and you wide eyed and leave, hoping that their little bit of mysterious fun will stay with you, when really all you wonder is what they've been smoking.

Uniform: Generic cosplay or raver gear

Favorite anime: *Wide eyed stare*

Warning: When you see them once avoid them the second time. They'll never be normal.

The Staffer

Description: Recognized for their haggard, beleaguered look and black tshirts, this congoer thought they were getting a free ride and ended up with more then they bargained for. They thought they'd get a cool weekend hanging out with cool people and watching doors. Instead they've had to break up fights, listen to petty complaints, answer insane questions and generally get harassed until their ready to climb a clock tower and all for the privilege of sitting right where they are.

Uniform: Staff tshirt, five oclock shadow, bags under eyes

Favorite anime: I think I hate anime now

Warning: Only approach with a real, dire concern. They have been known to snap and get ban happy.

Ausfags going to bed. Keep the thread alive boys and girls

>>3566451
Holy shit you just described my friend. Last con we were at, she purposely wore a "moe" maid uniform and hung out in the maid cafe for attention, and whenever someone would nicely ask her "Hey, do you work with the cafe?" She'd make an "UGH" noise and roll her eyes, then look at me and be like "I just don't GET why all of these guys think I work here! They think I'm CUTER than the actual maids?" loud enough for them to hear, then turn to them and say "nyahh~ Nope, I'm sowwy! I don't work here~!!"

The Con Virgin

Description: This comes in two flavors, terrified and terrifying. The terrified virgin wanders around wide eyed, gasping at all the strangeness around them. Was that a man in a skirt? Did that girl just tackle someone? This figurine costs how much?! The terrifying virgin promptly loses their mind five minutes into the con and are soon trying to instigate caramella dansen sessions and screaming at people how "supa kawaii" they are. They soon overload on pocky, crash, and pass out.

Uniform: Generic anime tshirt and jeans

Favorite anime: Bleach/Naruto/Death Note

Warning: Avoid either flavor, it's always awkward the first time.

>>3566212

Alright, someone described my con experience.

I was dissapointed that I couldn't relate to any of the one's in OP's pic.

I find it obnoxious how obsessed people get with a particular anime. They might have not even seen that anime or only watched half of it. Maybe they watched the whole thing but have no idea what it's about because they just like the way the character looks.

Whatever happened to watching anime because of decent entertainment and creative plot, character creation. You don't need to be obsessed to enjoy an occasional anime.

Oh well, carry on. I take my leave of /cgl/ for another few months.

could someone make up a fusion of the gamer and the elitist cosplayer, that would perfectly fit me and the people I attend cons with. possibly some hater in there too.

>>3566550
What a fucking cunt.

The AzN

Description: Anime is part of their "traditional heritage", even if they're from the Philippines (ESPECIALLY if they're from the Philippines). Usually attends in packs. usually be found in the gaming room playing DDR or some fighting game.

Uniform: White T-Shirt, Hawaiian shirt, cargo pants

Favorite anime: GTO, Initial D, Gintama

Warning: Spending too much time with them will cause you to develop an unhealthy appreciation of k-pop

>>3566574 ESPECIALLY if they're from the Philippines

If they're from the Philippines, odds are 1-in-1.5 that their parents watched Voltes V.

So, yeah. It kind of IS their heritage.

>>3566574
OMG YES
Especially Initial D, they're all about that shit

The Mary Sue

Description: It's not this special snow flake's fault that everyone is so attracted to her. She's just so kawaii that all the guys can't stop hitting on her. OMG did you see the way that employee handed her that soda? It was like he almost raped her! She's just that pretty and sparkly, there's no way anyone would look at her and not fall in love with her.

Uniform: Hair that has never been cut, pewter necklace with multi colored marbles, skirts that are too short, possible hot topic ensemble or shitty cosplay of their amazing OC with no wig because her natural hair is so pretty you guys!

Favorite Anime: Twilight.

Warning: Do I really need to say? This girl thinks the whole world revolves around her and her special magical sparkles. Stay away from her unless you want to be pulled into a terrible fan fic.

>>3566562

What that guy asked for

--------------

The Ultra Gamer.

Description: What is HE!? Doing here? Is the general reaction of seasoned congoers as the Ultra Gamer wanders in with his gaggle of less skilled WoWfags. He attends every year to see the sights maybe try out the new streetfighter clone in the gaming lounge, even though he is at a anime convention he loathes everything Asian except for Street Fighter and Starcraft.

Uniform: High End Dantes Inferno Cosplay. Including Moulded Steel scythe created in Belgium.

Favourite Anime: Anime is for Scrubs!

Warning: Do not engage in conversation it will inevitably end with a 4 hour conversation over the subtle divergences between Street Fighter vs Mortal Combat. If engaged in gaming match loss means eternal ridicule and winning means an endless stream of complaints about his controller and that he is better at home. Just ignore if the chance is presented

>>3566524
The Real Staffer

Description: Recognized for their surly attitude and black tshirts, this con goer like to bitch and moan about how they actually have to work, and often think that they're the con private security firm but have neither the training or authority to do so, often if you ask them a simple question they'll get all pissy

Uniform: Staff tshirt, five oclock shadow, bags under eyes

Favorite anime: I think I hate anime now

Warning: They have been known to snap and get ban happy but they most likely don't have that kind of power

Note: Their non-existent powers have no effect on
The Bystander

The White Guy Boyfriend

Description: OMG you guys, this congoer bagged a for reals Asian girl and he's showing her off. It doesn't matter if she's Chinese or Korean or if her face is terribly unfortunate, or she's so annoying you want to claw your eyes out, she's REAL ASIAN and she's his girlfriend, though by the end of the con she's probably going to dump his ass for this stupid shit.

Uniform: Trying to dress cool, always has his hand/arm on said human accessory.

Favorite anime: Genshiken

Warning: Do not get jealous of this fagot, that makes you ten times worse.

The Creeper

Description: This congoer comes for one reason only: to have an excuse to be in some proximity to the object of their sexual desire. Whether it's taking unwanted photos, standing too close, making awkward blatant advances the creeper seems to care not for success, their only hope seeming to be to get a reaction out of their query.

Uniform: Expensive camera, moe tshirt, body pillow, hug me sign

Favorite anime: Strike Witches

Warning: Though creepers are the most skin crawling, they are generally physically weak and harmless in the face of larger male opposition.

I could keep writing these all day, but I need to try to sleep. Keep this thread alive while I'm gone, /cgl/.

The Brand Lolita:

Either over 20 with a decent job that allow her to afford brand or is a spoilled daddy's girl.

In terms of clothing, can be divided into the basic groups:
-OTT, wearing AP's latest and most wanted prints;
-Classic, wearing DAT DRESS from VM/MM that you would die to have but would never fit;
-Gothic, showing off her Iron Gate for your envy;

In the internet, these three tear each other's outfits apart, but IRL pretend to be the best friends, potentially for lack of option. They look down on the Hot Topic Lolitas and are very harsh when it comes to handmades, accepting them only rarely and never as an equal.

Warning: Ask for pictures, you'll get a sweet yes, turn your back and they'll start talking about how you were too close, ugly, smelly, fat with a bad hairdo, and touched their brand outfits almost ruining them.

The Muscle Man

Description: This is a con goer is actually quite the oddity, spends an equal amount of time in the gym as he does watching anime, often scares the crap out of most people
Uniform: Spartan cosplay

Favorite anime:Fist of the North Star or "None of that faggot shit."

Warning:Will most likely steal your girl and your booze

The Handmade Lolita:

Never underage, usually a girl that works hard and has big dreams of opening her own clothing line. 90% of the time, she's too old and not talented at all.

Tries hard to befriend The Brand Lolitas in the hopes they'll comission her stuff, but fails to realize they won't pay over $50 if it doesn't have a designer tag.

While the younger ones are usually quite social, they're taken by peer pressure during the con and acts weird and a bit too fetching.

They think all brand lolitas were SO NICE IRL!, and has no idea it is them who finally agree in something and tear their handmade dress apart anonimously on 4chan.
While The Brand Lolitas have no idea it is them who white-knight them to death people on the same site call them bitches and start spilling drama.

Warning: Will criticize any cosplayer who sews their own outfit saying they can't sew to save their lives. Fact is, their handmade dress isn't that great either.

The Jaded Cosplayer

Description: This breed of cosplayer has been around since "before anime was cool," and they will never miss an opportunity to regal you with tales of "the good old days" when the con was in a different hotel and when people "actually cared about the characters they were cosplaying as." They can be seen standing around the con looking bored and grumpy, or found on post-con forums or LJ posts threatening to never return because COMIC/SCI-FI CONS ARE SO MUCH MORE MATURE, but you can always count on seeing them return to the same conventions every year. Some will never enter the convention at all, insisting on spending the entire convention doing private photoshoots half a mile away, or simply hiding in their hotel rooms. Most will try to avoid paying for registration, stating it's "not worth their money."

Uniform: Steampunk costumes, comic costumes, sci-fi costumes, retro bullshit, anything unrelated to current anime.

Favorite anime: "I CAN'T REALLY -GET INTO- NEW ANIME."

Warning: Some of the most drama-filled cosplayers you will encounter.

>>3566661
Forgot to add under uniform:
- "original" costumes
- If they're wearing anything from a current or popular series, it's usually because their friends asked them to fill out a group, and they will complain about this endlessly. "OH, THE THINGS I DO FOR MY FRIENDS."

The Rising Star Cosplayer:

Underage cosplayer with good costumes, good wig and quite some money. At their local con, they're a sort of celebrity and win everything. But never gets really famous because their parents won't allow them to attend the big ones in another state, and instead of just saying so, they spend months saying they'll attend only to say they'll do something better and less nerdy instead (while crying inside for not attending) in the last minute.

Hangs out with the The Elite Cosplayer, who only attends that minor con because they'll be fawn over and because they'll stay for free at the Rising Star's home.

Warning: Pretend to be friends with everyone but talk behind their backs with their Elite friend, who doesn't really care, but gets a kick in listening to drama.

The NEET

Description: They're only there for the figurines and doujinshi. Usually very thin. May forget to eat. Shy, doesn't make eye contact.

Uniform: Neutral, conservative clothing.

Favorite anime: Tsukihime, Umineko.

Warning: Can talk about Touhou and VNs for hours.

>>3566674
throw in touhou and that's me. better than your previous NEET description

>>3566639
Reminds me of someone I met, had to do it

Know it All

Description: Attends every lolita related panel, meetup, and booth, but isn't wearing lolita. Says everyone else is doing it wrong and whispers scathing comments to anyone around her about the panel hosts' outfits. Knows more about the 'real lolita lifestyle' than you, but is wearing a skirt that goes up to her cooch.

Uniform: A simple cosplay that presents no challenge so they could spend hours on the little details and brag about it.

Favorite Anime: Advent Children

Warning: If you see someone impatiently tapping their feet and checking their nails and the panel hasn't even begun, do not sit next to them.

>>3566677
My previous description? I mentioned Touhou in the warning since it's not an anime.

>>3566562 = me
>>3566598

not bad, that's pretty accurate. especially the warning. Should add that most fighting games are for casualfags, and that my type is more likely to games which eat at your life, like MMOs (but not WoW, thats just gay), Bioware, entire franchises and series and so forth. oh, and ofc cosplay from them and bitch at people who arent accurate at an OCD level, or havent played the game. We're all from vidya really, but because we have vaginas we crave /DRAMA too.

>Kino's Journey
>Legend of Galactic Heroes
>Bakemonogatari

... Is this me? Except I like to cosplay...

>>3566655
You're trying too hard.

>>3566674
>Implying that NEETs like the Tsukihime and Umineko anime adaptations

>>3566707
Same here, but when I was trying to think up elitist anime the ones that usually cause a lot of PRETENTIOUS drama in /a/ came into my head.

>>3566661
This is me thought I don't really care about retro animus or original designs and I've never been involved with any con drama.
I used to get pissed when fanbrats did annoying shit in front of me or to me, but now I just ignore it.

Also, I think you're just mad because there are people at your conventions who aren't cosplaying as nayrutoo.

Ok, now that I've stereotyped the worst in me and my friends, I shall comment my personal experience with the types.
I would be a Brand Lolita, except my only other Brand Lolita friend usually does cosplay instead in cons. I only hang out with other lolitas in the major cons, but I've been losing interest in them, My close friends would be considered Rising Stars and they always show up with Elite friends. I also have some Staff friends who I met online ages ago and rarely talk to, with whom I gratefully have normal conversations about how is life going in some non-noisy corner while been served free tea and water.

I hang with them most of the time, except when the cosplayers go change and the staff has to do something... and as that might take an hour, I go around the booths trying to check if there's something worth buying and it's there that I always meet... The Kid and his/her desperate Chaperone.
Seeing the kid going crazy over manga and anime, I can't help but butting in, and talking about the series I know that they might like. I diss the ecchi/hentai series or the series with too much fanservice and usually can convice the kid to buy something age-appropriate, except for the violence, which is impossible to filter while keeping the kid interested.
The Kid then glues into me and The Chaperone looks quite grateful, while telling me how their son first heard of Naruto and how he's been obssesed with it ever since. I spend the rest of the day with them even when hanging out with my friends. Some parents have even ditched and left the kid with me a few times xD

My friends make fun of me saying I adopt a new kid every con, and I... have fun with that. And I'm happy when they go calling me "Onee-san" lol The Kids are my favorites in any con <3

SAGE FOR HUUUUGE OT.

>>3566717
FFFUUU, evil wrong captcha stole my sage.

>>3566715
It'd be better if it wasn't oriented towards cosplayers, it's more of an oldfag anime fan thing. A lot of these cosplayer/lolita ones just smell like jelly or whiteknighting to me.

>>3566711
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PUT

Most of us don't even watch anime. Having a 'series' category would make more sense.

>>3566717

>>3566715
>Also, I think you're just mad because there are people at your conventions who aren't cosplaying as nayrutoo.

Not really. Just annoyed that a lot of my friends are becoming this type - the type that sits around complaining about EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON AT THE CON and yet continues to come back every year.

>>3566723
...I actually don't know either. Maybe something like CLANNAD or Fate/Stay Knight? Yeah I think the series thing would be better because most VN adaptations aren't very good.

>>3566730
FSN's anime adaptation was pretty bad lol. I've heard CLANNAD was good though.

The blah blah

Description: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Uniform: Cosplay kawaii school days.

Favorite anime: kawaii desu

Warning: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

>>3566730
>Knight

*night, jeebus what's up with me today

>>3566724
Just remember nobody is forcing you to read.

The Faggot

Description: He discovered being gay/bisexual trough anime. He mostly had female friends and thus got a lot of attention for being a "RL yaoi boy". Even tough he might look like the last douche, he thinks of himself as super kawaii uke - or even a trap. Usually way too confident for his hideous looks.

Uniform: usually crossdressing, cat ears and tail, often on a leash

Favourite Anime: Gravitation, Sensitive Pornograph

Warning: He thinks of any girl out there to like him because he is what they ALL ever wanted to be. Might have even more fetishes than the usual lolicon/standart creeper.

When did this thread fill with butthurt?
