the fuck is wrong with you hs haters
you're worse than the fanbase, attacking someone like that

sounds like bullshit.

Except... all of them aside from that one

Homestuck isn't anime.

Yeah i smell bullshit, CGL would of been all over this shit by now if it was true

Jesus Christ this poor girl. I made those horns for her, too on commission and I thought her Dolorosa was absolutely gorgeous.

I really hope she's alright though.

>>5763781
how much do you charge for the horns? those are lovely.

>>5763765
You're part of the problem.

I hope it's not true.

I mean, I dislike Homestuck as much as the next guy, but I'd never prevent anyone else from enjoying it

let ALONE destroying something they made!

that's just a dick move. No fandom is that fucking important.

>>5763781
do you have a website

>>5763751
This, I'll believe it when the girl that was attacked says it and not some hearsay from other people.

I hope this isn't an exaggeration because that does tend to happen a lot on tumblr, but if this is true I really hope shes ok. It sucks that people would destroy someone's hard work just because they don't like the series or webcomic.

>>5763765
Neither is Adventure time, Doctor Who, regular show but you don't hear people trying to destroy their cosplays

>>5763806
And you are retarded in thinking homestuck is anime. I bet you are the type of person that thinks ponies should be allowed at anime conventions too.

It's bullshit guys, her costume was not destroyed.

Can't think of a compelling argument? Or does using your brain hurt too much?

it's not anime, but in case you've been under a rock for the past 10 years, anime conventions have broadened to become more like general nerd conventions.

Then go to something like Comic-con and keep the anime within the anime community?

That is fucking hilarious!
I wish I could have contributed.

>>5763853
What are you talking about? She says right there how people tore it apart.

Dumb bitch deserves it for cosplaying a shitty webcomic at an anime convention

It's bullshit.

Plus it isn't that Dolorosa--she wasn't even at AB (of if she was, not as the Dolorosa).

I was one of the most visible goddamn Homestuck cosplayers at AB and I didn't encounter a goddamn whiff of ~anti Homestuck sentiment~ the whole weekend, nor did any of the Homestuck cosplayers I know who were there.

>>5763928
>I can honestly say that the entire weekend, I didn't cosplay a single anime character. Nope. I was Blind Mag on Friday and Sunday, and Dolorosa, a very detailed Homestuck troll on Saturday. I have to admit here and now that this is only my second Anime Boston, the first being way back in 2009. Yes, this was one of my favorite cons so far out of the several that I've attended in the past 4 years. But two things worried me.
First, as Dolorosa, I was met with severe animosity by other congoers who seemed to forget the "Pop Culture" piece of the convention. They had no problem when I was Mag, but I was verbally and physically harassed occasionally while donning my Homestuck cosplay. As it is, I need to make repairs to my armorpiece, belt, a layer of my dress, and both my horns before I can even think about cosplaying the costume I put 65 hours into making again.
>physically harassed
> I need to make repairs

>>5763928
I saw Homosuckers at Sakura-con get yelled at a few times

>>5763842
The difference is Adventure Time, Doctor Who, Regular Show, etc aren't more represented at anime conventions than anime fandoms.
Plus I actually see those fandoms participating in the con rather than just taking up space and being obnoxious.
Get your own goddamn convention.

>>5763955
At Sakura-Con all of those faggots were being annoying actually. Non-anime should be banned from anime conventions

>>5763892
Are you aware that the instance of anime costumes spilling over to other cons is far greater than other fandoms spilling voer into anime cons?
Are you also aware that you are exhibiting incredible unwarranted self importance by assuming you have the authority to tell people what they can and can't dress as, and that your suggestion that someone deserves to have crimes (vandalism is a crime) committed against them for wear what you judge is a wrong costume is incredibly heinous and suggests aspie-tier levels of an inability to think beyond your own ego?

>>5763955
Those aren't anime. If you're going to bitch about shit that isn't anime clogging up your conventions then ALL things that aren't anime need to go. All of it.

>>5763945

I feel terribly for this girl if this is true, but...I don't know. No one remembers her, no one else has a remotely similar story, there's no proof and it was none of the documented Dolorosas who were there.

It still could've happened, but this is Homestuck fandom. It could easily by a liar trying to make Homestuck haters look worse than fans.

>ITT:WEEABOOS mad their precious animu cons are becoming mainstream

Newsflash folks not everyone is creaming themselves over the lastest mediocre anime that's coming out. And anime cons ate becoming mainstream every year cons gain new attendees and they sure as hell are not the biggest anime fans. Get over it, homestuck, adventure time, mlp, DW & others are at cons now, if it bothers you so much why don't you make a petition to prevent non anime cosplay

Guess what guys?!! I'm going to three major cons this year, with a 6-cosplay lineup! And one of them are Japanese!!!

And there's nothing your weaboo asses can to about it <3

>>5763983
I hope your costumes all get destroyed and you get beaten to death you fucking cunt

>>5763967
You are the one making assumptions, not me.

Nah, I did the same thing last year and had a wonderful time <3

>>5763964
There's a big difference between a group of 20 being annoying and a group of over 100 being annoying.

>>5763970
No, because it's not the principle of it, it's the effects. An anime convention can still be an anime convention with a few non-anime things. You can just ignore the things that annoy you in that case. But, last year at my local con it just seemed like homestuck con on Saturday, and this year it sounds like it's going to be even worse? THAT is my problem with it.

>>5763975
Anime conventions are a safehaven for nerds like us who still actually like anime. If the anime convention stops being about anime, where exactly do we go? Smaller cons attract even more non-anime fans than large ones from my experience.

Are there any AB-going Homestuck cosplayers in this thread? Did you encounter any meanness?

>>5763996
Things have changed in a year, stupid bitch. Stop trying to be cool. You'll probably get the shit beaten out of you, and that's great.

>>5763992
That's correct, I did make an assumption about you (two, actually), but you've failed to address either of them, and I'd wager to say they are all supported heavily by things we can all observe about your attitude and the stance you've taken.

Anything else?

>>5763997
So basically, non-anime things are ok if they are things that you like.

>>5763997
>BBAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Grow up, you have to share the world with other people. If you can't handle that, kill yourself or get off the grid.

>>5764011
Your aspie-level rage is delicious.

>>5764018
Nope. I despise Doctor Who. Do the point of just walking away mid sentence if anyone brings it up. (new series I mean)

But I can deal with a handful of Doctor Who cosplayers.
I can't deal with an ocean of them.

Related note, while I do hate homestuck I like other MSPA stuff! And I have a bunch of friends who are really into it. So I don't have a lot of blind rage towards the fandom itself, I just don't want it taking up so much space and time and noise level at the anime conventions. I'd be really down for an MSPA convention. I'd finally have a place to do jailbreak cosplay and it would be great.

>>5764023
Funny, considering you're the autistic here.

>>5764021
Well, isn't the point of conventions to get away from all the people you hate in daily life and get to meet people with similar aspie levels and interests? You never answered my question...
and while I'm at it, is there any good reason why homestucks and any other huge off topic fandom don't get their own/attend their own conventions?

>>5763865
you are such an idiot

>>5764033
>Well, isn't the point of conventions to get away from all the people you hate in daily life and get to meet people with similar aspie levels and interests?

Isn't that exactly what the homestucks are doing?

>Homestuck not an anime

>>5763911
sup /a/

>>5764044
Well, no. In a way yes, but they do that really often at meetups it seems like. At anime convention the main thing that they are doing for everyone else is making it harder to be at an anime convention.

>>5764042
What's idiotic about that?

>>5764033
Because putting together conventions is expensive, and so far western conventions are slow to crop up. Regardless of someone's feelings on the matter, for at least the past six years I've been going to anime conventions there have been a good amount of people cosplaying from western properties, simply because there are less conventions catered to that crowd that are affordable, close-by, and don't sell out within a few hours.

Although I think people getting analfrustrated over homestuck and other western cosplays in anime conventions are silly. I go to Dragon*Con and you bet your ass there are a good number of anime cosplayers. To complain about it is kind of silly, you're all there for the same reasons; to dress up as fictional characters and enjoy the panels or meet and make friends.

>>5763992
Imbecile

>>5764033
>You never answered my question...

>Well, isn't the point of conventions to get away from all the people you hate in daily life and get to meet people with similar aspie levels and interests?
Not exclusively, I'd say the main focus is to network with other fans, which you can still do with other fandoms there. Being near homostucks doesn't stop you and other anime fans from being anime fans, unless you're too aspie to handle other people liking what you don't like, in which case, see my above solution.

>>5764027
You're arguing over people cosplaying something you don't like.
you are an aspie

>>5764052

I'm sure that's the first thing on their minds. "Hey, I really love this comic! Lets go to Otakon for the sake of fucking up everyone else's good time!"
Look at your logic bro. Plus, a lot of the fans don't have the means to get to the meetups, they're actually fairly dispersed.

>>5764059
Why does it have to be expensive? It's not like MSPAcon could have very many guests. The issue is just space, and considering how many homestucks there are it wouldn't be hard to raise the money for it.
I mean hell I've seen homestucks dish out more money to people begging for it on tumblr for stupider shit.

>>5764071
I didn't mean that that is why they do it, I was saying that is the effect.

Obviously I can't change anything. The bottom line is, I really love anime conventions and I am sad that they are slowly starting to not exist anymore.

>>5764033
The creator has pretty much put his foot down on the idea of a Homestuck con for the time being, is why. I can't remember his exact wording and reasoning, but it was something like he would want to organize it himself but doesn't have the time/energy to do so.

>>5764066

/thread

>>5764081
So why not have mspacon without the creator? It's not like he can stop them.

No one can stop homestucks from coming to anime conventions, but I can say homestucks would have more fun at their own convention and it would pretty much make everyone happy.

>>5764073
I said expensive because I'm assuming you mean an actual convention for more than just MSPA since that person mentioned "other fandoms".

The creator says he doesn't want a MSPAcon, and while there would certainly be people who would ignore his wishes, it's hardly enough to put together enough money for a convention. At best, we'd get a bunch of little meetups, which is what we're already doing so it's kind of a moot point.

>>5764089
>but I can say homestucks would have more fun at their own convention

That's dumb. Homestucks go to already established conventions because, believe it or not, they have interests besides Homestuck. They enjoy anime and manga and comics and video games and all sorts of other things that are present in the conventions they go to.

>>5764089

>Implying Homestucks don't also like anime.

2 costumes last year, one was homestuck, the other was from an obscure Japanese rpg.

>>5764094
So why don't I ever see any orange horns in the anime viewing rooms or panel rooms?

That's an exaggeration, but I'd say in the hallways I am literally tripping over homestucks, whereas at anime related events I only ever see a reasonable amount of them.

>>5764103
Making generalizations never aids anyone man

>>5764089
He can't technically stop them, but it seems people want to respect his wishes. And if the MSPA team isn't involved, there really isn't anyone with enough fandom authority to ringlead something as big as a Homestuck con would end up being. Most of the biggest name fans are friends with someone on the team, so it's not like they'd go against it either.

I honestly can't believe how many people there are that cry about western themed cosplay at anime cons in the west. For a lot of us, the cartoons on TV, the comics both online and in hand are a lot more fun to cosplay than the latest highschool anime. We're not exactly in an anime renaissance right now, and it's less enjoyable to cosplay from a series that no one has seen yet as opposed to a cartoon that has a ton of fans that come up to you and talk about it.

>>5764114
If you aren't into anime anymore
solution: don't go to anime conventions.
Duh.

And why should how many people have seen it make a difference in how fun it is to cosplay? Unless you're admitting to being a shameless attention whore obviously.

>>5764109
Because they aren't at the events you go to?

I mean, I can't speak for you or for those particular people. There could legitimate reasons why you don't seem to see Homestucks at panels you go to, but it'd all be conjecture and would probably not convince you (or anyone else) since you've obviously had different experiences.

>>5764125

Any cosplay that isn't anime=shameless attention whore.

I am literally dying over here. Oh my god.

>>5764125
>Any cosplay that isn't anime=shameless attention whore.


Blunt and as dense as a /b/tard

>>5764125
are you serious

A huge part of cosplaying at cons is interacting with other fans of the series. If I didn't care about meeting other people then I would just cosplay by myself in my closet all day, lol.

>>5764135
I never said that. I said that doing a costume because of the attention you'll get for it=shameless attention whore.

>>5764157
Why are you even on /cgl/

>>5764164
I often wonder.

>/cgl/ somehow believes a homestuck con would stop homestuck fans from going to anime cons.

Are you guys retarded? If there was an mspa con, homestuck fans would just go to it IN ADDITION to their normal anime con circuit. It wouldn't solve anything.

>>5764181
Death is the only option then.

>>5764181
I don't mind cosplayers of Homestuck, MLP, AT or anything else like that. It's just, when they only like that one thing and not any of the 'bigger' media such as anime, games, comics, etc. it doesn't bother me, just kinda confuses me as to why they're there. I can't imagine them having as much fun or being able to get as involved is all.

boofucking who
I've had people throw a bottle full of koolaid at me wearing brand lolita dress at an anime convention
it happens
it's not going to stop happening
so either track the people down who messed up your costume or don't wear it again

I would have stabbed them in the neck and ripped their fucking eyes out. Then I'd choke them with one horn and shove the other up their ass.

I don't even like Homestuck, but why the fuck would you ruin a costume like that? I mad.

This is so dumb, why...what the hell is wrong with people.
Homestuck is the stupidest thing on earth in my opinion, I hate it and the fandom in general. But when my friends cosplay Homestuck I ignore, I may even shout a rude name at them all in good fun (because they know I hate it) but I would never touch them or their costume.

>>5764026
>I can't deal

Sounds like you should just end yourself.
Conventions are not events made solely for you and what you can deal with. You share the space with others who are also paying customers. Get the fuck over it.

Look, nobody ever pisses and moans about video game cosplayers at anime cons, so why are you pissing and moaning about Homestuck? There have been people doing non-anime cosplays at cons since basically forever. And it's not like Homestuck people are there specifically to cosplay as Homestuck and do nothing else; 99% of them are also into anime and are going there for that reason. So please, stop bitching and moaning about it and just ignore it if it really bothers you that much

Homestuck is my favourite anime

Guys. Notasenator already looked into it, the actual scene was not even slightly as bad as that post made it sound. It's pretty much all bullshit.

>people actually believe congoers would be alpha enough to confront someone face-to-face, much less physically harass them!

1. I don't believe this happened for an instant. Y'all are the sort of fags who believe everything that's posted in weeaboo horror story threads too, aren't you?

2. I've had TWO costumes ruined by Homestuck faggots who didn't seal their bodypaint, rushed up to hug me, left huge, nasty stains on my costume, and ran off without so much as a "lol my b". Not saying she's someone who has done that, but now HSfags can understand how it feels on the extremely slim chance this actually did happen.

3. If you are so butthurt and weebish that you actually believe that non-anime cosplay should be banned from anime conventions, you need to back the fuck up and examine your priorities in life.

My bad. Probably should have mentioned that's a random cosplayer from Google. I just needed an image, tbh I have no idea who Dolorosa is.

>Dolorosa being abused

Wow, way to be in-character!

>>5764353
Haha, oh god.

If you get this mad over people dressing up as someone from something you don't liek you are autistic.

If THIS is thee shit that makes you angry, if THIS is the shit you see as unforgivable, if THIS is the biggest problem you face, you're fucking pathetic. At least 18 years old and THIS is the shit that worries you. Grow the fuck up you manchildren.

This thread. This whole thread. I love it.

I honestly find pony cosplayers more obnoxious than Homestuck cosplayers.

At least at the big con near me, which is a general pop culture con, the Homestickers find their spot and stick to it, so they don't bother anyone. All their cosplays are of pretty decent quality, too.

The pony cosplayers are lazy, always look like shit, and will not stop fucking screaming about Rainbow Dash even in places where ponies have no place (like anime trivia).

>>5764212

>Implying that staining a pre-made dress is the same as destroying a lovingly handcrafted costume.

I get that brand is retardedly expensive, but honestly you can't even compare something like that. I don't have anything against lolita or buying pre-made dresses/costumes, but there is an enormous difference between having something you made destroyed and having something you bought destroyed.

Small incidents and people being jackasses will always happen at cons, but this is rediculous (if true, which I'm not convinced is the case).

You know, I can understand the argument about how the Homestuckers don't really have anywhere else to go. Except, in the case of this year's AB, that is blatantly false. Because at the same time, in the same town, as AB, there was a larger convention happening that is based around an -gasp- American webcomic. Why did they choose the anime con?

>>5764546
That isn't fair. Many prints become hard to find, and the amount of money can equal quite a few hours of work if you're struggling. Destroying someone else's property is wrong, no matter what it is. Besides, we have yet to see this costume. For all you know, this girl could be an Ashley-level seamtress/liar.

>>5764546
are you serious

i'm pretty sure that this didn't happen. i was at AB. there were about 1000 other homestuck cosplays. i received nothing but kind words and compliments.

yes, there were people sitting there and whining butts off about the "homosuck invasion" and i did witness a group of adult attendees verbally harrassing some homestuck cosplayers on saturday night, but the fact that there were literally so many homestucks around kind of provided protection - there's safety in numbers, you know? also, security was within 20 feet - if it escalated, they would have intervened.

it pains me to say it because i like homestuck, but this is most likely someone just trying to play the martyr and take the attention off of the bad behavior of a lot of homestuck fans.

I never really got the hate homestuck gets. Sure, most fans can be a little too horny and weird.
But at least they don't try to shove their tastes into everyone. Except SBHJ, but everyone loves that I guess.

>>5764546
Fuck you asshole my Mermaid Symphony is fucking rare dress...

Why do cosplayers like to think that their handmade costumes is more ~speshul~ than someone's designer dress that they saved up money for months to acquire.

Oh because I didn't sew my dress, I don't have any attachment to it.

>>5764718
What are you talking about? Homestucks are like Jehovah's Witnesses of the anime con circuit. I have never met a Homestuck who didn't get personally offended when I told them I hated Homestuck. It's like a damn cult. You don't see other fandoms having proms and shit.

>>5764565
Because they fucking wanted to. Who knows how the mood of the other con differs, what events it has, whether their interests lie more in anime than general American webcomics, or what. It's not rocket science.

>>5764695

Or someone who got bumped into and pulled an Ashley of "OMG THEY ASSAULTED ME." When it was really an accident that might've broken a piece or two.

Honestly, I've heard far more stories of people being harassed by homestucks than the other way around. There's a reason they've reached creepy cult status.

ITT: BAWWWWWW PONIES/DRWHO/HOMOSTUCK/AMERUCUN THINGS R DESTOYING OUR PRECIOUS ANIME CONVENTIONS

>>5764739
Maybe you act like a jerk when you tell them that and you don't even realize. Whatever mate, you can act like a jerk if you want, but in any hater's eyes a fandom always acts like a cult, but that isn't necessarily true.

>>5764739
pfft, I know right?
Openly telling somebody in costume that you hate the paticular series they're representing shouldn't be something to be offended by

It's like fat people who get offended when say you hate fatties

>>5764767

I've actually had friends drop being friends with me because I didn't like it. I didn't outright hate it, I just didn't see the appeal. It wasn't my cup of tea. And because of that, they decided to stop being friends. And it wasn't just me, it was all non-homestuck fans. If that's not cult-like like behavior I don't know what is.

Besides, Homestuck is the only fandom I've ever seen referred to as a "cult" by anyone, haters or not. And I've been on the internet for a long time and seen a lot of shit. Not even Naruto of Kingdom Hearts.

>>5764785

Yep, because you know, people haven't had differing tastes for a long time! Being offended by someone not enjoying something you do is a perfectly reasonable response.

I absolutely adore Young Justice, do I cuss someone else out when they say they hate it or it sucks? Nope. Because what the fuck that's a stupid thing to be offended by.

>stop not liking what I like you dick!

>>5764803
Not even a certain show featuring small horses? You're exagerating terribly. That's probably why you lost friends. You couldn't respect what they liked.

>>5764803
Protip friends do not drop friends for you not liking something

The side is on your end, either you were never close to them or you are an obnoxious assclown and you do not realize it.

>>5764739
they have proms?

PROMS?


PROMS?????


What the fuck? What do you do at them? What do you wear....grey paint and prom dresses.

I bet no dudes show up to it.

>>5764820

>assuming not liking something is disrespecting it

Sure bro. Whatever you say.

But you're right. Bronies have reached cult like levels too. They're the only two that I know of.

>>5764838
It's usually just a small get together of hipster girls who aren't attractive enough to get a date to their actual proms, but yeah, they do happen

Haha this is fucking rich.
Brilliant.
I applaud the crowd that did that.
And this is coming from a homestuck fan.

>>5764836

Like I said, it wasn't just me they dropped. They stopped talking to everyone who wasn't into Homestuck. But hey, if it helps you to think I'm a huge assclown or something go ahead.

To me
Homestucks are the Juggaloes of the convention circuit.
I'm surprised a Homestuck band hasn't popped up yet

>>5764838

They have all sorts of stuff. Monthly meetups, proms, dances, etc. I was going to a friend's party and stopped off at Dollar General and ran into Homestucks in formal wear. And there wasn't a con for another month and a half.

>>5764878
Oh but It has

>>5764878

A homestuck porn was almost made dude. It's kinda past the point of no return. Hell there's a tumblr devoted to nude cosplay. This shit is clown shoes.

>>5763964
Then they should also ban everybody wearing normal clothes.

>>5764878
http://homestuck.bandcamp.com

All of this from a webcomic... wonder what'll happen when it ends

>>5764897

They'll move on to the next big thing once the hype dies down. Just like everything else Naruto, Bleach, Kingdom Hearts, Hetalia, and now Homestuck. Next year it'll be something new.

>>5764026
>>5763997
Sure because all the really hyper active yaoi fangirls and narutards aren't as bad as the Homestuck kids.

Obnoxious cosplayers are just obnoxious people, stop judging the series they're dressed up as and instead focus on the individual

Wait so the thread quickly turned to a wankfest.

Did this really happen or is it just tumblr-bitching again?

I wanna be your friend. Seriously. Go to Sci Fi cons in your shitty Doctor Who cosplay.

There is literally no excuse for DW people "cosplaying" (It's really just buying an outfit with little actual construction.) at anime cons when there is a huge amount of cons for that genre. I can understand MLP, Homestuck, Adventure Time, ect since there aren't many cons that cater to that genre.

>>5764914
I've been around since before narutards happened, and they were embarrassments. However, Homestuck kids are worse. They wear body paint that they don't know how to use, spit in buckets, complain about any insults made about Homestuck (NeoClassicNeko, anyone?), are often yaoi fangirls who hate on other yaoi fangirls, and they attack anything they see as an unauthorized reference to Homestuck (aka, getting angry at Gaia Online for making Astrology sign accessories).

Narutards were stupid, but the worst I've seen from them is bad cosplay and inappropriate yaoi paddling. Never had to worry about seeing spit in a bucket...

I'm not trying to be snarky or anything, but am actually genuinely curious. Is there any outfits/cosplays you would think are inappropriate for anime cons? Because I can't think of anything.

I don't think it's Homestuck in particular for me, but just obsessive kids in general - it just happens to be Homestuck they're are following at the moment.

I can't think of a particular group outside those kinds that make a menace of themselves. I remember years ago it used to be Narutards and Death Note where people ran around with collars and chains, endangering other con-goers with their stupidity. Last con I went to I noticed Homestuck cosplayers getting on each other's shoulders and running around, almost falling on people.

>>5764965

costumes that show the nipples, the vagina, or dare i say, the dick.

you think this would be common sense, you really would... but of course i saw some girls vagina at the last con i went to.

>>5764929

>Aren't many cons that cater to that genre

>Those same cons that cater to Dr. Who cater to all those fandoms.

Really anon, did you not think that through.

I should also point out that most MLP, Homestuck, and Adventure Time costumes also end up just "buying an outfit with little actual construction".

I've been cosplaying for over a decade,
About 5 years ago I stopped cosplaying from animus but I still go to anime cons since they have the biggest cosplay scene.
This year I read Homestuck and I liked it.

I honestly, cannot believe someone would do this. Before I read it, I talked a LOT of trash about HS and its fanbase, but holy shit, this is really, really crossing the line.

If you don't like Homestuck, what the fuck ever man. I don't like 99% of anime but that doesn't mean I attack and destroy the costumes of anime cosplayers at Comicons.

Actually, it's really frustrating because I know I have gotten shit at anime cons for being from Western games/comics/scifi but I have NEVER, not ever, even heard of an anime cosplayer being harassed at a comic or gaming convention.

You people are seriously the scum of the earth. Christ, if I didn't have so much fun meeting awesome people at cons, I would avoid anime conventions alltogether because of people like that.

I do not doubt it happened, not in the least, and it's fucking repugnant.

Yes, the fandom is annoying but NO more annoying than Hetalia was 2 years ago, or Ace Attorney before that or Naruto/Bleach were before that. You kids don't fucking remember this shit.

Uh hey gs. I just wanted to say, I'm the Dolorosa cosplayer from that picture. Hey there! I wanted to just quickly point out I WASN'T at Anime Boston. I have heard about the cosplayer getting attacked and whatnot, but it wasn't me. Thanks!

>>5765348
No I remember all of those fandoms
and you Homestucks are way worse

This happens all the time, I've seen people knock a girl's ball jointed doll out of her hands a finger break off at a con.

But because it happened to a Homestuck it's suddenly a huge travesty.

>>5765386
Thanks for clearing that up bro

>>5765348

You have no proof it happened beyond this girls word, despite multiple other Homestuck's from the same con being unable to identify this girl and reporting a wildly different experience.

And yet you don't doubt for a second this happened?

I've been cosplaying for a decade too, and ya know what? Despite how bad those fandoms were I've never seen it as bad as it is with the Homestucks.

I've heard far more reports of people being attacked by the Homestucks then I have people assaulting them...so there you go.

>>5765389
You clearly don't though.
Hetalia fans humping flags? That was just last year. Gigantic meets that basically ruined cons. Disgusting "yaoi" PDA? Just godawful fanbases that make huge idiots of themselves in public? Vocaloid, Avatar, Naruto, Bleach, Ouran, Invader Zim?

Remember Kingdom Hearts? Really?

Look, it's a fad that bandwagon-hopper's jumped on to fuel their shitty yaoi fangirlism. They will move on to something else and ruin that in a year or two.


Seriously, I HATED Homestuck and if you hate it I totally understand. But people who actually like it and aren't just obsessive bandwagoners are pretty normal and not insane.

>>5765420
I really don't agree and I think it's the serial positioning effect from a soc psych standpoint.
I also don't cosplay Homestuck though and try not to associate with those people just like I didn't associate with AA fans when that was a big thing.

>>hurr homesuck isn't anime

Try keeping anime at anime cons before you bitch about Western fandoms spilling over into anime cons. Nobody wants to see your bullshit at PAX, SDCC, or Dragon*Con.

>>5764838
Actually yes, you did. There were Naruto proms for years.

>>5764724

Yeah, I suppose that was a bit unfair to say. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm an artfag and view any kind of crafted item as a work of art, but it just feels so sacreligious to me for something like that to be destroyed. Didn't mean to offend anyone really, though I can't say I completely take my statement back. I do agree that it's shitty to destroy someone elses' property either way.

>>5764613

Completely. Well, mostly. I was a bit heated at the time.

>>5764659

Well sure, I'm not saying you can't be attached. I get that. It's just that when someone makes (in this case) a costume by hand like that, that's it. That's the only one truly like it, and once it's gone, you can't just save up money to buy another one. So, to me at least, that does make hand sewn costumes are a bit more ~speshul~ . I hate to sound so cliché, but it's hard to understand until you've actually spent weeks bent over a sewing machine putting something together.

Though, to be fair, I can see how someone would argue that working to save money for a long time can be similar.

/wall of text

>>5765469

>>5765469

Actually we at Dragon*con don't care, there's an Anime track and costume contest after all. Just don't get all freaking butthurt and start bashing other costumers because no one cares that you're cosplaying from the Newest KAWAII FAD ANIME.

Over heard that shit last year and I about blew a gasket at them.

>>5765389

How exactly are ALL homestuckers worse?
I got into homestuck before it was as big as it is to date. Yet i can't believe some of things i hear about homestuckers now a days.

Stupid and immature. Yet i am not like that, nor are my friends yet we get branded because a bunch of morons can't be civilized?

>>5765525
People who care about it at Comicons are in the extreme minority. Animu fans have been getting pissed off about this for years.
In 2001 I was told, to my face, and I quote "What are you doing here, this isn't a fucking Star Trek convention." I was 12 and dressed as Spock.

Who gets that buttflustered about weeaboos at D*con? Almost no one.

>>5765532

That's what I mean. The guy was saying "no one wants to see that shit at western cons" and I was saying that's not true. We don't give two shits.

Especially at places like Dragon*con where there's a track/contest devoted to it.

>>5765525

Yeah, I know. I was actually at D*C last year and went to one or two of the anime panels and had a good time. Also saw Boner Robin, good times.

That said, I'm being sarcastic and making a point that nobody at Western conventions really gives a shit about anime being there. Likewise, only a very vocal minority in the anime community actually cares about Homestuck, or any other Western fandom, for that matter. Conventions are nerd havens, period.

>>5765530

They didn't say all. They said you Homestucks. As a whole, it's a pretty terrible fandom. Just like Hetalia was a horrible fandom before it.

It just seems like the more the bandwagon hops, the worse the fandom behaves. At this rate we're going to have stabbings over things two or three hops down the road.

>>5765469
I agree, actually. Even though I have a closet full of animu costumes, I made a couple new vidya related ones for PAX. Because it just seemed like the right thing to do.

However, to be fair, a lot of anime has video games based off it and vice-versa. Sengoku Basara, Inazuma Eleven, Final Fantasy and Sonic all have anime counterparts, and visual novels are technically video games. Not to mention that any popular boy's anime will probably end up with a fighting game eventually. So, it can get rather fuzzy there.

I like this thread. I've got four cosplays lined up, and none of them are even remotely japanese. Hell, one of them's even from homestuck!

Have fun at your cons, ya'll. I know I will.

>>5765562

That's fair anon.

I do see what you mean. The more people that hop on said bandwagon so it's more likely we'll have crazies in there, so to speak?

It's shocking to think that there could be something potentially serious (aka stabbing like you say etc) and for the comic to get dragged down with it. A comic that used to have a normal fan-base at the start.

I don't particularly like Homestuck, but these faggots aren't even the biggest problem at cons. My only dislike of them comes from stories of them ruining shit at cons (ruining cosplays with their body paint, crashing panels, etc.). I also don't like how much space they're taking up at cons. I'm going to Acen this year, and Homestuck not only has a panel, but 2 and a half hours worth of photoshoots. The next biggest ones have one hour.

Can we get rid of the faggots that come to cons and don't even like anything relevant to the con? People who just come to cons to take drugs, get drunk, and act like assholes? After we got rid of them, I'd definitely be ok with getting rid of "bad" fandoms.

>>5765621

Good point!
It's more get rid of the bad to see the good.
The good gets overshadowed by the bad.

I'm from the UK so there isn't as many around. Yet you still get your bad and good. I just don't want the good fans in the fandom to get slated for what they love just because some immature kids can't go to a con too cosplay, have OTHER interest and be reasonable.

>>5765621
You mean... We could have cons without raver girls? No more glowstick bras? No more rainbow fuzzy legwarmers? It sounds so magical...

>>5765684

DA but i'm kind of new to the con scene and i live under a rock - but why do ravers actually go to cons? why waste money on the badge instead of spending it on you know... a real rave?

>>5765688
Because many ravers are also druggies, and seeing cosplays while under the influence of some combination of acid, shrooms, or e is well-worth the cost of con admission.

Why can't we just have fun at a con, (isn't that the point of a convention)? I don't understand why you have to spew hatred towards people because they cosplay from something you're not into?

Who cares if it isn't anime? I planned on cosplaying Van Helsing this year, if anyone tried to destroy my costume I've spent hundreds of dollars and hours on I'd tear them a new one before they could get close enough to scratch it.

I'm on act 6 of homestuck and my friend keeps promising me it gets better. ITS NOT GETTING BETTER, IT STILL SUCKS! Why do you people like this garbage?

>>5765937
Because they're gay
Just stop reading that bile

guys, no offense, I'm a homestuck webcomic fan
But Homestuck Cosplayers are something different
They're the most snobby, clique-y people at every con I've been to for the past two years including the early part of this one. As a Homestuck fan, I love to approach them to ask for photos of their cosplays, and theyre kind of, assholes

Prolly the few hs cosplayers who have been nice to me are B1 Universe kids, and thats when theyre alone and not with a whole group of hs cosplayers.
You wanna see a nice hs cosplayer, you've got to talk to them when theyre not near any others. Because when they get in a group, it's high school all over again.
Funny, considering the fandom initials

>>5765937
I'm gonna be real, if by the end of act 1/halfway through act 2 you weren't excited to keep on reading, it ain't for you.

Its not a huge deal, and if your friend acts like it is, kick them in the balls or something.

Someone tried to get me to read Megatokyo again years after the stupid l33t gamer guy that was writing for it left using the same premise. I wanted to kill myself for listening to them. I don't want you to feel the same way.

>>5765915
No one will. Homestuck has a huge stigma that Van Helsing or pretty much .. anything else will never have.

I believe that you can cosplay whatever the fuck you want at any convention. I see tons of western, movie, and comic book costumes at anime cons all the time. More variety is good, imo!

Restricting genres would make every con that much smaller, or have that many less cosplayers. Consdiering I go to cons just to cosplay and to see cosplays, that would make me very sad.

>>5765892
>>5765688
I agree with both these posts.
The latter, because honestly it costs less to get into an actual adult rave than pay 30 bucks just to go to smelly, con-kiddied up ones, which aren't that good.
Real raves trump con raves any day. Well, if you're old enough to get in, of course

>>5765954
you realize homosuck sucks right?

>>5765562
I can see it now:
>Homestuck cosplayer browsing booth @ artists alley
>Artist at one table refuses to sell certain item that was never intended for sale
>Hs cosplayer implies "IS IT BECAUSE IM GREY!?"
>everyone's faces when

>>5765985
Its pretty pants on head retarded, but idk I'm an idiot for flashing colors and shit

>>5765985
Man, that's the thing. Everyone has that one instance where the really like a bad movie/book.

Homestuck is my Grease 2. (love the movie too)

I'm going to laugh when Korra cosplayers start coming onto the scene/Last Airbender cosplayers resurface, and weeaboos fall in love with them while turning around and yelling that MLP/MSPA/DW/whatever don't belong BECAUSE THEY'RE AMERICAN!!11!

I am going to laugh into oblivion.

>>5766131
Avatar never had a huge amount of cosplay like the current fads do, I doubt Korra will either

Gonna cosplay godtier Nepeta at AX.
Haters gonna hate.

>>5766143

...yes it did. Even years after it's ended, there was a huge crowd of 'em at SDCC this past year. There were two Korras there already--more than half a year before the show even aired.

1. Anime cons are events that anime and manga fans attend.
1.1. Some Homestuck fans like anime and manga.
1.2. Thus they attend Anime cons.
2. Most people cosplay their most favorite characters.
2.1. Homestuck fans' most favorite characters are Homestuck characters.
2.2. Thus they attend Anime cons dressed as Homestuck characters.

I don't get why can't a person who is a) a Homestuck fan b) an anime fan, attend an anime con dressed as a Homestuck troll.
Do anime cons have dress code prohibiting non-anime cosplay? They do not.
Wtf is this otaku sharia law?

sage

>>5766172
Sure, at SDCC where they've got an annual Avatar panel. There's never been such a large amount of Avatar cosplayers spread throughout the country's cons as there have been for other popular fandoms, however.

WELP I SURE AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FIRST HOMESTUCK COSPLAY

Cosplaying Amy Pond at Anime Fest. lulz Whachu gon du?

>>5766229
I hope you get stabbed.

>>5766296
Somewhat unlikely, considering that I've been training in the most efficient martial art for disarming knife-wielders for the last three years or so.

>>5766302
So to get beaten up by you, I have to try and attack you with a knife, you'll beat the crap out of me and rape me right?

>>5766311
You only get the rape package if you have long hair or a pretty face, I'm afraid. The higher-ups say we have quotas for this sort of thing.

It's. Never. Ok. To. Attack. Someone.
It's that simple.

>>5765985
That's just like, your opinion man.
I used to think it sucked too until I read it. Not saying everyone is the same; it's retarded to think everyone has the same taste.

Unfortunately, the trolls are the MOST animuish "I've got a theme and I'm sticking to it" characters ever invented which is why it attracts a lot of underaged weeaboo assholes.

Me, I'm going to use cosplay Roxy as an excuse to be drunk all day at a con...like I don't do that already anyway.
I'm gonna avoid the underaged crazy kids and have fun. I hope I meet some chill fans. All the ones I'm friends with now are hella chill.

I would just like to add this to the thread

>>5771236
Wow, he should have gotten her arrested for rape.

>>5771236
WELCOME

TO HOMESTUCK

>>5766302
you know, you remind me of someone I know on another forum. She uses a AJ avatar as well.

Silv, is that you?

Anime fans have been pouring into my Sci Fi con for years.

and yet here they are, bitching about other fandoms pouring into theirs.

PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF

>>5771272
Nope, never gone by that name. Which forum?

>>5771310
Its a generic Invision forum called 9gig.
I was just curious ^w^

>>5771292
Frankly i think we'd all be happier if there were about 80% less homestucks at any type of con

especially the underage ones

>>5771325
Honestly they never bothered me that much. at most i though "really? At a SCI FI convention? sigh"
Keep in mind I like both, but i go to Anime cons to celebrate my anime love, not a sci fi con, but eh, people will do what they do.
Mostly I was actually worried about what reception they'd get from the uber sci fi nerds.
Insults? Teasing? Alienation?
Hell, we're all outsiders, they don't need to feel worse about their interests.

As for the ones that have no idea how to act in public? Hell, they shouldn't be at ANY con. not until the freaking learn how to function.

>>5771343
>*They learn

fucking typos

Also I know you were talking about HS fans, but I'd feel the same way about them to if they were at a con that they "didn't belong at" for lack of a better term

>>5771343
i really dont understand how at nearly EVERY CON there's always a large amount of people that act like they've never been taught how to fucking act in public.

just because its a con doesnt make the basic fucking rules of how to act change

>>5771393
THIS x1mill

how on earth do people think some of the things they do are OK?

Ugh, my cousin went to this con dressed as Tavros Nitram from Homestuck, she told me they wouldn't even let them have a photoshoot- whenever they tried to settle down and have one con staff would shoo them off- and that it was the same with Doctor Who, Adventure Time, the Lorax, and My Little Pony cosplayers. They kept getting shit from the weebs, even the con staff.

>>5772445
>implying that's a bad thing

Non-anime needs to be banned from cons.

>>5772447
Please. Like anime-only fans don't bitch about other anime fandoms like they do with the non-anime ones. If this was happening to say, a Hetalia group, you'd have the same reaction as you do now.

>>5772445
who the fuck cosplays from the lorax

>>5772473
who the fuck cosplays from animated kid shows and movies

Oh, wait.

>>5772473
that fucking onceler fandom on tumblr

because why

no one knows

>>5772508
>>5772473
Samefag more. It's a popular movie and has human characters, of course it's going to be cosplayed. Same as any Disney movie ever fucking made.

>>5772520
I'm the anon from >>5772473 and I'm not samefagging anywhere.

>>5772520
>lorax
>disney

it has a bishi looking human character which is the sole reason it is attracting so many fangirls. the fandom is terrible and the movie is terrible.
its all just so terrible.

people will keep not liking things they don't like
there will always be a few people who will be idiots
please don't generalize, both sides of the argument

This thread is so gay

>>5763997
"im literally retarded and have no friends and must escape the cruel homestuck world and suck gay yaoi dicks all day"

shut your face haruhi ya dumb cunt

>>5766302
"I post with applejack pics even though shes really fucking lame and doesnt taste like apples" -evan dump

serious or not, your so gay

So I am reading the comic and as a fan of video games and comic books etc. I find it fun. I am only at the start of chapter 3 with jade still, but I see nothing wrong with it beyond the fact it trys to make and uses some memes.
which I don't mind.
maybe the fandoms bad, but the comic seems good.

>>5772746
The Homestuck fandom is no better or worse than any other, just a lot more prominent because their source is constantly updating and bringing in new fans whilst retaining a high number of old ones. Convention meetups and photoshoots can get quite hectic but that's going to happen when you get hundreds of excited fans all in one place, no matter what they are fans of.

>>5772766
yes it is actually
because everyone apart of it is fucking insane. they're either:
a) pretentious asswipe cosplays from tumblr
2) bandwagon weebs
or 3) you, and i hate you, and you're a).

>>5772784
There are fans that are "insane", and the majority of Homestuck fans are nowhere near that.

Do you have a friend or a family member that is doing homestuck?
if so, than call the national homestuck prevention hotline at 1800-HOMESTUCK.
we provide counseling services for little to no charge for those who are doing, or trying to quit homestuck
so if you know someone who is or has been addicted to homestuck call us today.
that's 1-8-0-0-H-O-M-E-S-T-U-C-K
and remember, friends don't let friends do homestuck

>>5772784
So basically, you just hate tumblr.

>>5772846

Most smart people do.

where i won't deny i couldn't look anywhere for two minutes without seeing a HAMSTEAK cosplay but i never heard anything about this. OP post your sources.

You know, the bronies made their own con. Shame Homestuck is ruled by a cunt.

That's pretty funny, coming from one of the most hateful fandoms out there.

A fat homestuck cosplayer farted on my face when they were standing and I was sitting minding my own business in a masquerade line at AB. From that moment I will never accept this shitty fucking fandom.

This has to be a troll. I don't believe this at all. I was there and there were tons of hamsteaks everywhere. They outnumbered us it seemed and most normal people avoided them like the plague and didn't want even be near them. Me and my friends didnt even want to see them or get too close. I dont think anyone would want to get too close to those fantards anyway to try to even damage their costume or harass them. Why bother wasting your time and risk your badge on scum like homestucks.

>>5773241

Its probably some elaborate trolling to get us to have sympathy over a shitty horrible fandom and to overlook the fandoms horrible behavior.

Homestucks smell worse than negros and Indians/Arabs that have that bad armpit grajo smell. Like rancid onions.

True story

I'm sure the comic is good bit I'm just not going to bother because I don't want to like it and become one of them. I'm already stuck on ponies.

>>5773279

I bet my dick and Jordans smell better then them

They probably smell of something worse than my farts which smell of rotten eggs. So something that is worse than my farts and rotten eggs.

>>5773303
>>5773293
>>5773279

ITT: We discuss what Homestuck cosplayers smell like.

>>5773320
They smell like rotten hamsteak.

>>5773328

I lol'd so hard I farted assburgers

Well the Hetalia fandom smells of bad cheese and rotton milk.

Damn yo talking about burgers, milk, cheese, hamsteak is making me hungry yo. I'm bout to like grab something to eat or get some cheese in between my gfs butt and add lettuce and tomatos and ham turkey cuts and have myself a nice ole assburger.

I finished reading through this entire thread and my god I haven't laughed so hard in my life. You Homestucks are the worse and this proves it. Never seen a more retarded and pointless fandom. Thanks yall just made my night.

So basically the thread has been reduced to one lone underaged fag bumping it endlessly and begging to have anyone applaud him for his wit in an effort to make himself feel like he's a proper tryhard /b/tard.

Sure smells like attention seeking around here...

Am I the only one who's actually glad a homestuck cosplayer got her suit destroyed even though this story is most likely fake?

Fuck homestuck.

I eagerly wait for the day some fucktard Homestuck cosplayer commits a crime or does something severe or violent that would involve police at an anime con. That will be the day. Cuz once that happens the fandom will finally die out and maybe the idiots who run these cons will get the hint and ban Homestuck cosplay from their cons. Then our precious con will be less atrocious. It only takes one crazy incident to end a cult.

>>5773446
I hate homestuck, but I really hope conventions don't start banning fandoms. That's a slippery slope.

I can't believe you nerds are arguing over this.

YOU ALL DRESS UP AS CARTOON CHARACTERS.

Who cares if it's anime or not anime.
Either way you're dressing up as cartoon characters and you have no right to judge one another because you're all equally as weird.

Anyway, I'm not from this board, I'm just passing through and thought I'd point that out.

>>5773446
Yeah, that's not how it would work. At all. Mainstream media would lump just about everyone at the con together as a bunch of sex-crazed amoral retards, homestuck or not.

Besides, it's not like we went through the exact same thing with Hetalia and Naruto.

>>5773446
You do realize a Sasuke cosplayer got arrested for theft and no one banned Naruto cosplayers. You must be young if you've never gone through this before with Naruto cosplayers who showed up in equally as massive numbers and way more annoying than any Homestucker I've ever encountered.

>>5768252
>Me, I'm going to use cosplay Roxy as an excuse to be drunk all day at a con...like I don't do that already anyway.

wow you sound like a classy lady, you totally changed my opinion about homosuck fans

>>5773727
>implying over half of attendees over 21 don't go just to hang out with drinking buddies

does it matter?
from a normal person's point of view you all look like weirdos
sincerely, a con-goer who goes to buy shit, get drunk and eat steak

>>5773762

also even when I do see a costume I like I go to ask to take a picture you look at me funny; I don't look creepy, I always dress normal

and I'm constantly in the way of like 10 of you posing for the whole damn con

...wow, just discovering my hatred of cosplayers...this is life changing, my friends

>MOST animuish "I've got a theme and I'm sticking to it" characters ever invented which is why it attracts a lot of underaged weeaboo assholes
>"I've got a theme and I'm sticking to it"
>Going to drink at a con because the character does it.

The narutards were understandable because they were like, 13-15 years old. They kind of blended in with the crowd, they never bothered me even though I didn't even like naruto. I don't know, I never really paid attention to them at cons.

The KH OrgXIII people sometimes put up stupid yaoi sceneries in front of people, I saw enough Axls pinning Roxases down on the floor while fangirls screamed all around. They were facepalm-worthy and we laughed at their stupidity. I didn't like KH either, but it never bothered me more than on the rolling-my-eyes level.

The Hetalia fans were very obnoxious because they often confused the Hetalia canon for real life politics and did some pretty insensitive shit (nazi swastika flags and armbands). But Hetalia was still GOOD, a great series that got ruined by a shitty fandom. (At least the original manga, I never watched the anime)

Homestuck.. is just shit to begin with. I read it before I even had an opinion on it. The series is shit. I mean I didn't like naruto or KH but I understood that they're not technically bad. But Homestuck is just shit. The creator is a stuck up dickhead. The art is terrible. The plot is messy. The humor is just pretentious, it's trying to be funny and clever but ends up being just your run-of-the-mill LOLSORANDUMXD crap. And most of the fans are ADULT FEMALES which makes it even more fucked up, 21-year olds acting like 15-year olds. Either they're terribly retarded or they're arrogant like this bitch here >>5763983

Bronies creep me the fuck out but at least FiM is relatively blosse and harmless(I don't like it though). Adventure time doesn't bother me because they're chill and act their age.

>>5766229
You're the worst tripfag this board ever had. Stop posting. Please. Your TOUGH ASS BUTCH BITCH attention whoring act sucks and it's shameful. Your cosplay sucks. Everything about you sucks. and if that wasn't enough now you even like homestuck. There, I finally said it. you, risette and reddickies. you make me miss maryjane. for all the love of god you make me MISS MARYJANE. sage for OT, sorry

>>5773762
>buy shit, get drunk and eat steak
So why don't you go to a manga/anime shop, a bar and a restaurant? Why are you going out of your way to be at a place full of people doing something you dislike?

>>5773742
>over half
>30 noisy tripfag circle jerkers and ravers who are after poon and raves
>implying this makes being shitfaced the whole con more acceptable and classy

>>5765621
Fuck, this. Almost every con has its share of the wannabe alfas who actually go out saying "yeah I don't care about dat nerd shit I just want to get drunk and fuck chicks". Last time the room next to mine at the hotel had some barely legal frat boys who got drunk as fuck and shouted overused /b/ memes at 2 AM banging doors and shit. Also the chicks who don't give a shit about anime/whatever and just pick the sluttiest, most popular cosplay (or slutify a pokemon cuz pokaman r so ttly funny XD LOL) and whore their drunk ass to everyone desperate enough to fuck them. THEY are the real scum of any convention.

However I still can't stand how Homestuck fans actually feel as if an ANIME convention should somehow fulfill their needs. As in accept Homestuck panels/lectures or allow them in the costume contest. I've heard a lot of whining from HStards about this.

I'd be pissed off too if Naruto cosplayers appeared at a ren fair. If some event had people dressing up, it doesn't mean you should show up as just anything just because they're wearing costumes.

I honestly do not care seeing Homosucks and MLPs at anime conventions as long as they realize that it really is an ANIME convention. What I dislike is that when someone cosplays from something not anime everyone will say something like "FINALLY someone dares to be unique and not just cosplay this weeaboo shit!". Same goes for lolis who go to anime events to attention whore and then they get butthurt when someone asks for their photo and what character they're cosplaying as. Face it, your dresses do look like costumes for those who are not familiar with lolita.

I once saw a shop selling a Bleach cosplay at my local RenFaire. It was just sort of thrown on the floor to the side in a bag that looked like what Party City Halloween costumes are kept in, with Ichigo on it.

For this general thread- I've noticed some former anime conventions are now changing their descriptions in a way that includes not only anime, but video games, comics, cartoons, etc etc. I don't mind people cosplaying non-anime things at anime cons personally. It's always really cool to see that one cosplayer from your favorite TV series as a kid or whatever.

My gf smells of Homestuck and fried eggs

My girl smells of swiss cheese and late night snacks.

Most Western Cosplay I can tolerate. Espeacially Doctor Who and MLP because 9 times out of 10 they just blend in with all of the other shit that's going on. Comics and Sci Fi are great because they usually have better costumes than the Anime/Manga crowd. But you can always tell it's Homestuck because of the ugly masses of Grey. Always. All of the designs just look like Vomit and they are absolutely EVERYWHERE. I thought Naruto and Vocaloid had some bad, overdone, outfits but these fuckers take the cake. It's the go-to costume for someone who just wants attention without any effort and it's so grey, bland, halfassed, and just EVERYWHERE. I can't wait for the Summer Con season to start because I just know those fuckers will get paint on everything they touch which will make sharing a crowded elevator with them in costume just the best thing ever.
