I will also teach self-defense moves like hitting vital targets such as eyes or the throat. However, I will emphasize situational awareness. I do not want to get into a fight in the middle of Baltimore because the melanin enriched gentlemen are probably armed with guns and knives and I don't want anyone to die. Fighting back is a last resort only. Ideally, I want everyone to have a fun and safe con where nothing bad happens. So does anyone have any suggestions on what I should include or exclude from my seminar?

they wont let you say "stay away from blacks" even if its good advice

Sounds pretty good! Two years ago while I was relaxing in the hallway with the slanted walls, a man came up to me (out of the 100s of other strangers sitting there as well) and started talking to me inches away from my face. He didn't go away until someone called him. (he was dressed as Indiana Jones if anyone recognizes him from Otakon 2011) It was really weird. Now I'm taking self-defense classes, haha.
I drew it to show how awkward it was.

He may well have been harmless too, but I don't blame you for finding it unfomfortable. My friend has a 60 year old uncle with the mind of a small child. It freaks people out at first due to the disparity between his physical and mental age. I kid you not, but last summer I was trying my best to explain to him what Facebook was and then happened to mention 'the internet" and he looked at me and honestly asked "What's internet?". I just had to smile and think how in a way, he was lucky. He had no way of know what 4chan is.

Since you're going to draw in a variety of people, maybe it would be helpful going over some scenarios and good reactions to those situations according to different "threat levels" for lack of a better word. I dunno, it's a tough thing to teach, but someone simply looking at you and giving you a weird or bad look doesn't mean you're in danger necessarily BUT judging by the shit we know gets posted on tumblr, these people might not know what the thresholds/limits/etc. are.

>>6964506
My only question is why did he pick ME to talk to out of the hundred-some-odd people in the hallway? I wasn't doing anything interesting, but I was doing the stereotypical anime elbows-up pose.

>>6964516

don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

>>6964452 (OP)
Will otakon let you carry on the show floor? I got booted from MTAC a few years back for my ccw.

>>6964521
if he has a gun anyway, you're screwed, knife or not
if he has a knife, sees you have a knife, he'll be less inclined to go after you and will probably go find someone else without a knife
if he has nothing, he's probably just going to fuck off

if he has a gun to begin with he'll go with it first
it's not going to be like GIMME YO MONEY WAIT YOU HAVE A KNIFE HANG ON I GOT A GUN
it'll be more like GIMME YO MONEY OR I BLAST YOU

>>6964530
just make sure no one sees you with it and you'll be fine
I ran around AX with a knife and no one had a clue

>>6964531
so you rather risk your life in a knife fight than run or in worst case scenario give him your wallet and cell phone?
i'm all for defending yourself in a fist fight, but when knives or weapons get pulled, shit's over

>>6964538
if you can run, run
but if you can't, you show that going for you is more trouble than it's worth
the whole point of them threatening violence is because they want to use it as a compliance tool. if they see they might get cut, stabbed etc, they'll be less likely to continue. they want weak prey.

and if you're not comfortable with a knife or even the idea of possibly stabbing someone, just give up your stuff

You do realize some of this people have nothing to lose right?

>>6964573
and you do realize that even if you do hand over your stuff they might still decide to beat your ass or stab you?

you shouldn't be getting into the situation in the first place. if you do, run away if possible. fighting should be your last resort. same with giving up.

This is racism. What need is there to state their skin color? It could just as well have been white people, would you have stated that they were white then? I feel as if people only do this if the alleged culprit is colored.

>>6964595
if it was me or them in a self-defense scenario, I know which one I'm picking. I'm not the aggressor and I'm giving them the chance to disengage at any time.

Tips against robbers, burglars, street thugs:
-If you have a second wallet, fill it with coins, expired cards and a few bills to make it both realistic - and heavy. Throw it beyond the person. They are more interested in the money than your life and the short time you earn by grabbing their attention, having them turn over, and if you're really lucky, have them run after it - can save your life.
It might also be smart to keep an old cellphone to trick them, and if carrying a bag throw it at them. They're more interested in searching the bag for goods than running after you. Once they find out there are no valuables in the bag they'll probably throw it nearby and you can search the area for it after they're gone(and you've called the police).

-Find out what safe defense weapons you're allowed to carry by law. While aiming fingers for the eyes or the throat is very effective at disabling opponents, it might be best to just repel them with spray. Don't risk close combat because you don't know whether a thug carries a weapon or not. Shockers as far as I've seen are not an effective measure, at least not as tasers, but tasers aren't legal in most countries, and they aren't widely available as self defense weapons even in the US, so your luck is with spray.

-Since women can't get muscles and bulk strength as easily with strength, it might be best to look for martial arts lessons, but I personally suggest learning more about disarming than attacking an opponent. An opponent with a handgun is game over if they manage to get a chest shot, and the same goes for people who have a knife, if they manage to get in range. If they manage to maim you by cut on your leg you can say goodbye to your belongings and your blood supply. If you take care of their weapon, it makes running away much easier.

>>6964633
I had a CNN crew at my office building and they got word that someone broke into one of their cars. Stole a bunch of expensive camera equipment. They ended up just dumping all the equipment in an alley because there was no cash in any of the bags the equipment was in.

>>6964633
Last paragraph, replace second "strength" with "men". Sorry for big strong men suddenly hindering my train of thought.

(As for the integrity of the information, it's made up of information friends in unsafe cities gave me, tips I picked up in newspapers years ago, and things I learned while trying to pick a kind of martial art. I hope they're better than what you can come up with under heavy stress and panic, unless you're so amazing at improvising that you can get away without safety measures.)


I've only been to local conventions that last 10 hours and don't have your usual hotel drug-alcohol-sex stories, as well as long distance from con to hotel to hometown so I'm limited to the things that happen within the con grounds and buildings.

I'd recommend staying near staff members or guards(if there are any, we have them) at all times. Avoid crowded areas to prevent potential thieves from pickpocketing you while you can't notice them, as well as empty areas. Your solitude in a quiet corner is a thug's chance to get quick cash. Put a lock on your bag. I prefer codes to keys as codes are more convenient and are still hard to crack, and buy you enough time to search for the one who stole it. Here the staff hosts an area in which carefully picked volunteers guard the bags of cosplayers. If you're cosplaying I'm sure you wouldn't like to put your bag next to you when you're posing for a shot because that portion of a second is enough for somebody to pick your bag and run away while blending into the crowd.

>>6964637
That's really sad, but expected. If they spent any more time searching that car they might had been spotted by policemen and arrested. If I was unsure about the value of equipment I wouldn't spend as much time carrying it - though I know that camera equipment goes for hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, for TV crews.

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.


Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.

>>6964674
People of color are much more likely to be victims of poverty than white people. It's a problem of class, not race - colored people do not commit crimes because they are colored, they do it because they're forced to due to poverty. It's a problem of structural imbalance between whites and everyone else.

>>6964701
The fact still remains that melanin enriched gentlemen still cause more crime than any other demographic in America. You have to be a fucking retard not to be wary around MEGs. I dare you to go to the inner city in the middle of night so you can get culturally enriched.

>>6964671
Yeah, must have been junkies or some shit with no clue how to actually dispose of any of the gear to make money. Weird thing is that the area this happened in is one of the better parts of the city. It was broad daylight too.

What wonderful thinly-veiled racism.

Good luck avoiding "melanin enriched" people in Baltimore. Also, stop being such a pussy, no one hurt you. I walk around in Baltimore at night all the goddamn time, usually with only one other person, and I'm a tiny white girl. Pepper spray is all you should ever need.

>>6964711
The overwhelming majority of colored people do not commit crimes. It's a small minority that is a little bigger than whites, but we solve this by giving them jobs, welcoming them into our society and stop discriminating.

>>6964715

Based on current rates of first incarceration, an estimated 32% of black males will enter State or Federal prison during their lifetime, compared to 17% of Hispanic males and 5.9% of white males.

At midyear 2007 there were 4,618 black male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 black males in the United States, compared to 1,747 Hispanic male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 Hispanic males and 773 white male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 white males.


In 2005, Homicide offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites

The US Dept. of Justice Website also reports that in England and Wales, blacks are 2% of the population, but 11% of inmates:

THE FACTS: Blacks, who represent just 12.5% of the U.S. population, account for a disproportionate share of violent crime. Still, the fact remains that whites commit more such crimes -- 54% vs. 45% for blacks, (even though blacks are 12.5% of the population) according to FBI arrest statistics. The numbers also vary widely depending on the crime, with blacks responsible for more murders and robberies (55% and 61% of these crimes, respectively) and whites committing more rapes and aggravated assaults (56% and 60%).

The bottom line: While a white person is far more likely to be victimized by a black than the other way around (21% vs. 7%), the chances are three times as great that a white person will be victimized by another white than by a black.

Black criminals commit more crimes against white victims (nearly 1.1 million in 1992) than they do against blacks (just under 1 million).


'Though blacks, 24 percent of New York Citys population, committed 68.5 percent of all murders, rapes, robberies, and assaults in the city last year, according to victims and witnesses, they were only 55 percent of all stop-and-frisks.

>>6964715
I've been to Otakon 8 years and have never had a problem either. Being 5'5" and Asian doesn't really make me much of a "threat" and I've walked around by myself quite a distance and still was fine (roommates were assholes and didn't want to use the buddy system so I walked from the con to the Mt. Vernon Hotel at 1am). Basic city smarts man, that's all it really takes. All I've ever dealt with were panhandlers and drunken sports fans, not so bad in the grand scheme of things.

Inner Harbor especially always has a ton of cops around, I noticed so as long as people don't stray super far from the area, I don't think there's much need for concern.

>>6964766
And what do you propose as a solution to this? I want to live in a diverse society based on tolerance, equality and respect, not an isolated one based on hatred and racism. Instead of segregating and discriminating people of color we must integrate them and make them feel like they're a part of society. If we could do this, I'm sure the crime ratio would become equal.

>>6964781
the hard part is that for every person who wants to integrate there's another content in being separate or staying where they are if it means they don't have to try

>>6964767
The worst I've ever had in Baltimore was being insulted by a drunken stranger (white) from across the street. Which happens pretty much anywhere that bars are plentiful. Happened to me in Elicott, and that area is nice as fuck.

Normally, it's just people complimenting me, asking for money, or asking for my number. Or, you know, leaving me alone entirely.

The best ever was when I was stopped, and a guy freestyle rapped about myself and my boyfriend right there on the spot. It was really funny. My boyfriend gave the guy ten dollars afterward.

>>6964793
worst I had was when nigglets decided to use drainage water to clean my windshield and my friend gave them a quarter

Because you didn't look like someone who would punch him in the face.

Herpderps can smell politeness and kindness a mile away--it doesn't smell of their own rank BO. They must get as close to it as possible, while shrieking at incredible volumes, to witness it.

Seriously I am jealous of big-ass scary motherfuckers because the goddamn fucktards don't shove themselves at them.

>>6964781
Are you still in school or something? Have you ever lived out in the real world? People do not want to integrate. They form their own little ethnic communities because they feel safer among their own people. When they do live with people who are not their kind, they don't trust them and remain isolated.

Do you want to know why Japan has such a low crime rate? It's because it's a homogenized country that has very few minority groups. The minority groups that do live there are the ones that cause crimes. Do you want to know what will happen to Japan if it tries to diversify itself and admit a ton of blacks and hispanics into its population? It's going to turn into a third world shithole.

>>6964852
>When they do live with people who are not their kind, they don't trust them and remain isolated.
You're the one perpetuating that m8
Also, you're wrong. I have absolutely no problem making friends outside of my race.

>>6964852
People just need to get over their fears. I, for example, have several colored friends and they're the most wonderful people I've ever met. Remember: they're human just like you and I, a different skin tone doesn't change that.

>>6964781
>I want to live in a diverse society based
Why? Why is it always the whites who carve for this 'diversity'? You don't see the Chinese wanting laowai piggus, or the Japanese ever accepting any gaijin in their country, no matter how fucking long they live there. And they care exactly fuck all about the gaijin that complains. And don't even get me started on any African country ever.

>on tolerance,
Note that Japan in particular is a very tolerant country. Conservative, yes. But they tolerate bullshit to some extent. Just because they don't bend down to the white man's rulers (which aggravates whites greatly) doesn't mean they're Nazis, no?

"Tolerance" in general is a slippery slope anyway. See below.

>equality
There's no such country and it will never exist. Especially not in a democracy, which sounds ironic, yes, but is sadly true.

>and respect,
Respect should be earned individually. You shouldn't be entitled to any more respect than citizens respecting the laws of the country -- and any country that accepts "hate speech" as a genuine thing is inevitably a country that doesn't respect basic human rights.

>not an isolated one based on hatred and racism.
USA, Canada, UK, South Africa... all these countries fit your description (some are more about hatred, some more about racism). Note that all of these countries are ruled by the so-called "liberal" leftists.

TL;DR
You will never get what you want if you trust / identify with any political movement ever & if you're unable to get out of the "US VS THEM" mentality & believe some retarded slogans or some retarded old fuck who told you how the world should be run, because (s)he says so, in school / media.

You're one person using anecdotal evidence. Harvard University's Richart Putnam did a study on community diversity and concluded that the more diverse the community is, the greater the loss of trust is in that community. Even people who are of the same ethnic group in a diverse community trust each other less.

comfortable using and handling a knife. it'd be like if you had a car but not very good at driving it. in that case, you might want to take the bus. with a knife if you're likely to fumble it through mishandling, inexperience, or otherwise, then just don't even try to use one to defend yourself. the same with brandishing it but not actually being willing to use it. if you're not willing to follow through with your bluff then don't even bring it out.

"weak prey" is where someone is physically smaller or otherwise looks like they cannot fight or defend themself. if you're out to try to mug someone would you go after some 6'5" guy who looks like a jock or someone much smaller and much more frail? look at nature. the porcupine shows off his spines and the predator says fuck this i'm out of here. poisonous frogs and predators likewise avoid them.

>>6964892
The future is a global society free from national borders. Each person should have the freedom to move wherever they want on this planet - freedom of movement. If we look further ahead, all races will have mixed into one and there will be no more racism.

>>6964918
actually, that's a pretty storybook definition of weak prey. bullies and predators have keenly developed instincts, just look at nature. hawks can see ultraviolet, great cats eat the sickly within the herd, mongoose are immune to poisons, etc. bullies can always find the one kid in the room who won't make eye contact, always makes eye contact or looks out of place. your insecurity is a bigger vulnerability than your physical stature. plus i bet you suck at poker too.

>>6964940
and you're kidding yourself if you think most 6'5" jocks will try to wrassle their way out of a mugging. why do you assume criminals are utterly incompetent? wouldn't utterly incompetent criminals just be the victims of other criminals or immediately caught and sent to jail?

>>6964940
That's a fact, but what I quoted has to be one of the most retarded things I've ever read on this site
It's funny that you call yourself a "/k/ommando" and yet say stupid shit like that
You don't deserve a moist nugget.

>>6964952
they probably aren't going to wrestle their way out of things but they're definitely more likely to be able to punch you in the face better than other body shapes and types can. probably also more likely to fight back in the first place if overwhelming force isn't displayed.

>>6964955
the point still stands. would a military attack a target if they didn't have the confidence that they would win? you want to be the hard target that they have to figure out how to defeat or if they don't think they can, they attack somewhere else

ok, so to make this thread even vaguely cosplay relevant i'll try to post some of my own advice not this /k/ommando nonsense.

i lived in a ghetto for five years and learned more than i ever wanted to about just how ugly america is. i've been robbed twice at gunpoint, been stabbed trying to stop my ex from having her purse stolen and watched or heard about countless other horrible things. so this advice for cosplayers.

1) get totally comfortable with the notion that you're going to attract a lot of mixed attention. the further you get from a con, the weirder the looks. you're dressed up and that will attract attention. if you act like the attention makes you uncomfortable, then the attention may try to get things out of you. i had a friend who would always give a twenty to any bum who asked him for money out of guilt and anxiety. for some reason, the bums would always ask him for money when we walked in a crowd. this shit shows.

2) blacks aren't the enemy, druggies and drunks are, regardless of color. they are unpredictable, irrational and want whatever they want right as soon as they want it. i once had a crackhead take a swing at me with a shovel just because. if you are dressed like a fairy princess, this is gonna happen even more, as they will initially be amused and attracted to you then randomly become irrational and angry. also, they're far less afraid of a crowd than you'd hope, so the buddy system or walking in a group will only get you so far.

3) don't travel at night. if you have to, use a cab. if you can't afford that, stay on the main roads and well lit areas. i know this is inconvenient, but do what you can while still having fun.

4) don't get drunk or high. i know, huge downer. all my friends who had seriously bad experiences with muggers, hoodlums or other drunks/tweakers, they were all drunk or high at the time. impaired judgement does not make you better at dealing with strangers, even though you often think it does.

>>6964975
>would a military attack a target if they didn't have the confidence that they would win?
Vietnam.

Try to say something even more retarded that your last couple posts, I double dare you

>>6965000
vietnam was a whole bunch of shit including france and trying to battle communism. also LBJ.

the situation at hand is more akin to a squad of ambushers hiding in wait. if they see another squad walk through the kill zone, they take it out. large company with armor in it? they'll let it pass and probably call in air or tell command about it so they can figure something out.

>>6964996
5) if you get robbed or hassled, whatever. muggers want your wallet and phone? just give it to them. strangers calling you weird names, following you? keep walking, go somewhere public/crowded or calmly call the police. don't overthink this stuff. you can always cancel your cards later. if you have a friend with a good costume for it, hide and mute one cellphone for later use. but really, this isn't that common.

6) feel like a ninja? wanna be a hero? cool, go for it. i did and got stabbed. and i'm damn proud of it. i'm also an idiot who thinks he's a god-mode viking, so your results may vary. just remember that americans have a hero complex, that's why we keep losing firefighters, policemen and soldiers. is it bad? i dunno, but it definitely has its costs.

7) this is the ugly one but it's also true. poor people don't like you because you're down to earth. minorities don't like you because you're liberal. don't EVER try to placate someone by emulating them, speaking their language, etc. this is just patronizing and ignorant. also, they're irrational, uneducated and probably drunk. a gang of black ghetto residents came out of the projects one night and beat a bunch of drunks half to death just because fuck whitey. these people may not have wonderful lives and some of them are very angry about it. if a dude has a bat, he's probably gonna use it. turn 360 degrees and walk away.

and finally, most people get really nervous before a con or before going to unfamiliar territory (like baltimore), it's nice to try and prepare yourself for the worst but really you should prepare yourself for the best. because whatever you're prepared for is far more likely to happen!

peace and be safe, seagulls.

gtb2mom'sbasement it's not even funny anymore

>>6965019
i guess i wasn't retarded enough for your tastes.

i'm sorry to disappoint.

>>6965009
god, i want so hard not to be annoyed by you.

buuuuut, you really are the most stereotypical shit-tier /k/ommando moron. as soon as anyone gives you static you go all pseudo-military armchair warrior and start spewing military lingo.

walking around baltimore with or without a knife in your pocket is not analogous to a squad preparing to ambush another squad and/or an armored company.

anyways, i'm outta this thread before i rage any harder.

OP here. Thanks for the advice, man. It's really helpful. Thread got turned to shit with all this /pol/ shit, though.

>>6965027
i only brought up the military bits because he mentioned /k/. the whole point i've been arguing is that you want to make yourself look like more trouble than you're worth.

>>6965047
right, so you should strap knives to your hands to make yourself look POINTY and DANGEROUS.

also, wear a loud SIREN to deter potential PREDATORS. BLACKS hear a siren and yell 'FIVE-OH' and FLEE INTO THE PROJECTS!!

ALSO GET ONE OF THOSE ALIENS MOVIES MOTION SENSORS, SO YOU CAN SENSE THE RACIALLY MOTIVATED MUGGER SWARM BUT OH GOD IT'S NOT IN THE STREETS ITS COMING FROM THE SEWERS WHERE ARE THE FLAMETHROWERS ASDFSD WE'RE ALL DEAD EXCEPT RIPLEY BUT SHE'S HAVING AN ALIEN BABY
