/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>gathering group of coworkers to go to anime con
>never done this before so didn’t think to have a screening process besides “will this group of people get along with each other” and simple “do you like anime?” question
>find out that a couple of people have only watched Dragonball and AoT in english dubs
>mfw I realized I invited normies
>mfw it’s too late to uninvite them
I’m angry (10% at them, 90% at myself) because their spots could have gone to others who truly loved anime and would be very invested in the con and all the nerdy fun it had to offer. Now I’m stuck with filthy casuals who will only see it as a people-watching/sightseeing trip and won’t understand any of the clever references/cosplays.
