Bondage straps are on a lot of outfits as well as the use of cords and headphones that it looks very medical. Also, if you say, \"But I am not into blue and white.\" Then you are screwed. Yummy! still occasionally releases a sexy nurse girl and a lot of Japanese brands including Predator Rat still occasionally release similar clothing. Kuua and Ezaki are always out of stock. Everyone else is doing an ethereal celestial thing. Most Western artists aren't and the market is flooded with AI art or I think what the other is referring to as 'retarded e-girls'. Just very simplistic motifs kind of emoji style. |

| textMy unpopular opinions: - Lolitas lose any sense of critical thinking and rationality when it comes to accusations made in the community. Especially when the person being accused is AMAB. Hate them for being cringe/ugly, whatever. I’m don’t even mind if you don’t believe they’re women. But manufacturing pedophilia and sexual harassment accusations without any evidence is beyond any level of acceptability - I HATE costume Lolita. What I’m talking about is Lolita coords that are so hyperspecific and impractical that they resemble cosplay or looking like a character trope more than a fashion. It could be taobao stuff with their gacha game design inspo, but Japanese brands do this shit too when they release stupid print concepts (looking at that cheese and wine one) or things like pirate lolita, overt military, and Marie Antoinette styles - I blame 2010s sweet lolitas entirely for the decline of Lolita. You all turned a fashion into a collector’s hobby with your prints. Styling became less of playing with colors and textures and more of collecting things from the same print motifs. - Ero Lolita isn’t a substyle. IT’S GOTHIC LOLITA THATS MORE CONNECTED TO THAT ASPECT OF GOTH CULTURE - Casual coords with no jewelry and even no hair accessories are actually really cute - Taobao classic is a different school from VM/MM/IW classic, and that is a pretty cool innovation. |

| textI'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the \"scene\" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me. Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay? Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days? I've read a lot on this board about \"after hours\" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them? Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like \"fandom\" or \"pop culture\" instead of specifically \"fantasy\" or \"otaku\" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more \"western\" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them? Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right? What's a \? How do you not get sick every time you go to one? How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is \? If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes? And some more personal questions If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money. How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group? How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable. Thank you for your time. |

But good memories all things considered. And to just out right answer your question, too old is when you are dead imo. Enjoy yourself always, if you're struggling with finding people to conversate with one thing I noticed that gives me good hit rates for conversations are panels, especially on things I like a lot, Monster hunter, MMO's, \"con survival guides\". And what I'll do is once the panel ends generally there are a few people still lingering around spark up something with them. Or the panelist, generally people are a HELL OF A LOT more talkative at this point seeing out you both just sat through hour of listening to someone rambling, so the topic is pretty much already set just kinda add your view on it. |

| textMy partner and I regularly go to GalaxyCon (the big big one in Raleigh) and Animate! GalaxyCon has always been great, except the crowds are enormous and its hot as balls outside. If you cosplay, people are super friendly and like to chat (the overall vibe feels that way). If you get the attached hotel its 100% worth it. Animate! is newer but so far awesome, it's like a smaller GalaxyCon, less crowded and just as fun.. I haven;t had a bad experience (so far). Going as Qrow to Animate! In January since his VA will be there. One pro-tip: The best event is the \"Masquerade Costume & Performance Competition\", it's usually on the last day. It's not a Masquerade but a straight-up talent show, and people go all out on skits and songs with their cosplay. It's so, so good, I look forward to it every year. Second, the cosplay wrestling is super fun. Watching Ms. Trunchbull beat the shit out of vanellope von schweetz is awesome, even if you have no interest in wrestling itself. |
| textThanks for the info! I actually live in the triangle so hotel won't he necessary. I bought tickets for the last day so this seems like its a lot of fun!"} |
| {"text":"Animate Raleigh is great if you want a chance at seeing Chris-chan. I very much enjoy Ichibancon. It's a small regional convention, so set your expectations. I do like the venue and the parties are great. I've been the past 4 years. Lots of Genshin and ZZZ the past few. Tons of beginner/intermediate level cosplay. A few wannabe influencers do show up and try to flex. I'll be at Ichibancon, Triad, and Banzai. It's like Animazement is always a blast. I end up meeting cool people and hanging out more than actually doing the convention. Great dealer hall. The cosplay is usually a good mix of everything. Usually shares the same scene with NC. You can bump down to ATL for the bigger conventions. Banzai is my favorite convention down there."} |
| {"text":"Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer.

Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now. |

| textDo you prefer to cosplay as more well-known or \ less known characters from more obscure media?

| {"text":"I feel like nowadays crossplaying is very accessible; if it looks good it looks good, but if it looks bad most people won't say anything because they don't want to come off as transphobic. So don't be afraid if your crossplay will look a bit off. Also you're putting a lot of thought into it, so the result will likely look better than half the AliExpress cosplays you'll see on con floors these days anyway. I don't have any real advice for you other than don't assume they won't have your size. The sizes for modern womens' clothing range from little girl to hamplanet, so you'll have a better time finding something that'd fit you than you would have a decade ago when buff dudes were doing gag Misty crossplays. |

| {:oh can I post this on my instagram? Here's my handle\" or similar, and you make little cards or get business cards easily (its not that weird as a lot of people try to promote themselves at cons similarly). Sometimes that leads into more conversation naturally, but the conversation will stop there 95% of the time, and what you need to do is follow up on Instagram, but don't be weird. Tag them, and find something to connect over from their profile. Don't bullshit. Don't send a message about loving X because they said they love X and you don't actually care about X but want to use it as an excuse to talk to them. That's creepy and manipulative. Actually be interested in the conversation. Anything that mentions dating/getting to know them better right off the bat is an immediate \. If they never message back, no big deal, you tagged someone with a cool cosplay, move on. Essentially you are using Instagram as the 3rd space to connect with people in the hobby, and hopefully find someone who jives with you mutually to date. I find this is only true if you are not in cosplay. The moment I'm in cosplay, it's the opposite, and I have people coming up gushing about my character/the show and we generally have a good chat about it. This can get you hookups if you are hot, but people are hypervigalant these days and I wouldn't trust someone who comes up and goes \"hey we know nothing about each other and this is the first time you've ever seen or spoken to me want to grab a coffee?\} |
