/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

UK con scene seems dead compared to even 2+ years ago.

Anyone see the tosser get thrown out of MCM on sunday?
"I'm not in trouble, you're in trouble."
Lmao

>>10279694
Most of us are older and no longer care. It’s basically going to cons to see the group of friends you’ve built up. I stopped cosplaying pretty much too.

MCM was just overpriced garbage everywhere.
>See Monster hunter artbook I got in japan for £10
>Charging £45 for it just because moonrunes
>Casually point out that they left the price in yen on the back instead of covering it with a price sticker like they usually do
>"Oh, its not £45 thats a mistake. Would you buy it for £40?"

Brown Frog and Mini Savile still shitting up the thread with self posting?

>MFW I have to go from the hall to the green at MCM for meetups in my clunky cosplay.

>>10279694
>UK con scene seems dead compared to even 2+ years ago.

Noticed this too and it can be an eyesore to try and take pics (nothing took my eye or an good cosplay that I couldn't recognise that well, literally did not bother with bringing my DSLR or using my phone with an reasonably good camera).
Maybe I am getting old on the last point...

Also fuck buying tickets to play an Cyberpunk demo (I already pre-ordered like an noob).

Other than that negative the event was overpriced and dead as usual but with lower numbers (it was noticeable and I went on the peak day of Saturday).

I suspect May will be better due to likely warm weather (assuming it doesn't rain).

>>10279844
hi demo!

>>10279687
Took your fucking time getting this thread up anon.

>>10279756
Lewis apparently called frog boy a cunt the other night and is going to beat him up at Brum MCM. That's going to be exciting

>>10279893
I check back several times a day. Didn’t noticed it was pruned last time. Soz ;;

>>10280115
It's okay Dad

>>10280159
Ty. You were always my greatest achievement.

>>>/his/7470346

So, figure meetups for promare would work out? Though unfortunately it's on a work/weekday so longer trips for people understandably won't be feasable.

ochako a cute

>>10280981
Pissin hell she's cute, good find Anon.

Well this has gone down well

>>10281287
kek

Laughing at those cosplayers who paid for shoots. only to get photos taken in the car park. Mugs!

>>10281317
It's outright uncanny how much this reads like a facebook boomer post

>>10281322
Look at this minions meme! Here is a link about animal cruelty that has been shared by the EDL in order to boost engagement. Have another minions meme.

>>10281287
the messages leaked from the con are rather incriminating towards them

>>10281287
Absolute

Shitshow.

>>10281287 the REEING on the comments is a sight to behold.

>>10281287
Imagine being this salty, anyone can own a con these days huh

>>10281362
has a convention ever tanked itself this fast? Not even animeleague achieved this

>>10281375
>animeleague
What's the story there?

>>10281375
I remember queueing up for a AL Christmas meet...

>Took them an hour for them to open the venue
>December rain
>Nothing but the sounds of cringe memes and anons

>>10281375
Tbf they have had more controversies than anyone and are still going with little backlash. How one can fall so quickly is unreal

>>10281287
This is the best!

>>10281402
It's because that beth is involved

>>10281387
Owner is a known nonce many if us have reportedly seen trying to hit on underaged girls

>>10281562
Bit more than that anon, he's date raped multiple teenage girls (15-18) at MCM and his own events, and tried to groom others online (13-17).

All the details are on lolcow where he has his own thread- this is not the place to discuss it.

>>10281587
I mean lately it has been shown some of the girls have been lying so "known nonce" is stretching it now

>>10281592
#MyRapistMadeMeCumSixTimes

>>10281587
Doesn't negate all the times we've all seen him offer alcohol to and try to groom literal children. I see Mel and Grace still lurk cgl ready to pounce every time Towers is brought up.

My threeeaaaaad!

>>10281627
Sorry, we can't have a UK thread without an argument about literally whoms shitting it up

>>10281403
If you can't afford it don't offer prize money, plenty of people are happy to cosplay for a bit of fun and don't need a cash prize as incentive if they are going to your event anyway.

>>10281555
Is there any cosplay drama she isnt involved in?
The con should get their shit together, but she does have a history of being horrible to other competitors.

>>10281672
To be fair the drama she's been involved in this year she's 90% of the time been in the right

>>10281672
Whatever else might be going on with her, she won that contest and the con should give her her money

>>10281684
That’s fine but how about she stops shitting up social media with memes and other bullshit about it.

it’s tacky and unprofessional and people will stop working with her.

>>10281697
Why is it the same fucking group every time drama happens

>>10281697
Just block her

>>10281592
>>10281593
even if the underaged girls did "consent" that doesn't make it not rape, and doesn't make him not a scumbag...are ya'll defending pedos rn?! ffs.

>>10281697
You can hardly blame her for her retard friends spamming them and tagging her timeline

>>10281776
Retard is an understatement. Half of them are sexual manipulators hiding under the SJW umbrella. The other half are a bunch of brainless ass kisses.

>>10279913
Why'd they unban Lewis, Jesus christ without fail every MCM he gets arrested by the police for something.

Also why don't I see anyone do pic related? It seems like the perfect thot cosplay.

>>10281322
How much you pay the togs?

>>10281743
Yeah except the fact she wasn’t underage makes it pretty legal

>>10282001
>she
As if we're talking about one incident and not ten years and a string of girls.

Your bossman is a nonce and deserves to get his arsehole widened in prison. Die mad about it.

>>10282008
>>10282001
take it to lolcow you fucking subhumans

>>10282033
Nonce!

Is it bad that one of the main things i look forward to going to english cons for is the roadman chicken shops? You just don't get them up north.

Beth can't resist getting herself caught up in drama. she goes from one to the next it seems

>>10282331
This one was hardly her fault?

>>10282346
Yea if you're relying on prize money to pay rent (the messages were shared by a white knight from her clique), then, you're an idiot

>>10282355
got a link or screens? I'm somehow invested in this shitshow now

>>10282619

>>10282619
this post explains it all and has scaps

>>10282754
like her or not its ridiculous to kick someone out for this considering how small the uk community is

>>10282756
Very true. You can’t cry “winner is friends with judge/organiser/janitor” here. Everyone knows everyone else at this point.

You go drinking after con and end up tripping over champions and uk cosplay reps.

>>10282820
like how are you expected to get cosplay judges from the uk who don't know a single competitor? They're experience judges/competitors for a reason

>>10282355
But, 'professional cosplayer' representing the UK at cons no one has heard of or cares about.

>>10282847
Dude noone cares about your vendetta for a literally who

Dreamy Bows was robbed so keep an eye out if someone suddenly sells goods with their tags out of nowhere.

>>10282756
Do you mean the professional cosplay community? Because I for one don't know every cosplayer in the country. Nor do I wish to considering how many cosplayers are nonces or thots. It'd be ridiculous to know everyone. The community is bigger then you think. It's not just MCM incels and autists.

>>10283363
No I'm talking about the competitive circuit. It's very small and the regulars all know each other

>>10282683
>>10282754
Thanks for spoon feeding me anon u the best<3

>>10282754
>"this kind of unprofessional bullying behaviour has to stop"
>supports beth

Hibana tomorrow

>>10284772
more excited for mcm birmingham

>>10282683
so she was relying on winning the comp to be able to pay rent? I mean it sucks what happened but why are some cosplayers so dense.

Checkmate anons

MANC power, see u there

>>10285206
Good joke anon

>>10285145
That was probably just an excuse to try and guilt them into paying. As far as I've seen from her insta she works full time

Anyone else going to TB this weekend?

>>10285555
Christ. What is it? A lesbian tumblr cat lady con?

>>10285626
Huge comic art con with a halfway decent cosplay competition

So thats 3 cons happening this weekend then?

>>10285631
>comic art

Ah so it's as >>10285626 said.

>>10286001
Ah, Carl manvers. My fave new character

>>10285631
lol get back to deviantart mate

emotionally scarred by that hentai panel last night

>>10286507
It was a great laugh though>>10286507

HIBANA FIRE ALARM
BEST TIME OF MY LIFE

>>10286949
ngl the parties been dead this year

>>10287076
Where the fuck were you last night because it clearly wasn't Hibanacon 'daddy long dick is back in town' 2019

is sunnycon dead? normally they announce their guests in september and we in november with no talk of the con and tucky just posts about his shitty twitch streaming

>>10287281
it was just a bunch of sweaty nerds moaning subway couldn't cope

Ahaaaah, sounds like you Hibana cucks got plugged. Doki on the other hand was OK...

>Tfw you are getting sick of Pride flag cosplayers...

When you are a talented cosplayer but your daughter keeps whoring herself out for patreon cash..

>>10288150
I don't remember her having fake tits before. Jesus they're balloons

>>10288150
Wow she's really gone to pron town hasn't she these last few years. Used to be such an inspiration

>>10288150
do men really find these super fake boobs appealing?

>>10288327
I don't personally, others do. It's a taste thing, but I think the majority prefer natural. Some love it as a weird bimbo fetish thing

>>10288150
Who's the cosplay parent?

>>10288150
As someone with an actual Bimbofication fetish, she looks too bland.

>>10288001
Definitely didn't even attend. Cope

>>10288150
She's not that bad looking, just needs to get better photos done. Her last Velma sets are horribly done and she's charging people for it. They don't even look processed.

Why do you UK Patreon costhots put so little effort into your shoots and what photographer you work with?

Please take a look at others like Disharmonia, Darshelle Stevens, Beke Cosplay etc to get a bit of clue what good photos look like and actually put some value for money for your fans.

what hotels are best for mcm london?

>>10288525
alright trigger boy. Was actually there just thought standards would be higher from what I've heard in the past. cosplay contest was flatline

>>10288647
The Novotel's just across from the west entrance and their pizza's pretty good

>>10288150
Saw it coming, she was always wearing push up bras with the focus on her cleavage in every selfie. They look awful for her body frame. Now all her content is centered around the patreon thing with rehashed and cliche photo sets done a million times before. Shame really.

>>10288150

I see so many back pain issues in her future.

>>10288692
never mind that. they are gunna burst

>>10288469
Artyfakes.

>>10288648
Hibanacon was great if you spent it with the gulls, if you didn't you missed out.

Feels bad guys, just want Dairy's panel back

>>10286949
Underpass Con2019 was fun distraction, plus the DJ lined up "Danger High Voltage", "Disco Inferno" and "We didn't start the fire" for bonus points.

The parties were great fun but a little lacking in attendance aside from the Sunday, most people seemed to prefer to sit at the bar lounge area and bant.

My biggest irk with the parties was every DJ thinking "The Pokemon theme tune" was the absolute end-all banger of the decade that they had to end their set with every single time. It's cute nostalgia but after hearing it played in nearly every con-party set list, then several times in quick succession this weekend I'm a bit disenchanted with the shit, especially when it's so easy to mix up the nostalgia-bombs, I remember being absolutely thrilled to hear the Johto theme tune and buzzed that I still remembered all the words at one of the Amecon parties.

>>10289139
wtf do you mean, Artyfakes is Tabitha, is she not?

>>10288150
Her nipples must look tiny now on these bolt ons. Anyone else feel a patreon shoot to celebrate her own birthday a bit well, sad? Does she not celebrate it normally with you know real friends?

>>10289205
I thought Artyfakes was her creepy Dad?

>>10289212
It looks like Artyfakes is Tabitha herself, her dad is tagged in some of her pics but the link doesn't work anymore, don't know if he deleted his account or just changed names. They seem to share the artyfakesprops account.

>>10289205
They are kind of both artyfakes, he makes the costumes and props while she models them

>>10289211
apparently that's part of the patreon style they follow, on the month of their birthday they make that into a thing of celebrating it with a special shoot to do with that.

>>10288621
>Effort

Ugh, bigot. I'm entitled to your money because I'm hot. And you'll pay. I don't need to put effort into anything.

>>10289678
Well, you say that like it's a joke.

Getting tired of cosplayers bitching about bo when i see so many thinking a wet wipe across their face in the morning counts as clean.

nobody believes your bs about social anxiety keeping you from showering in a hotel room.

Well kitacon is officially dead. Such a shame

>>10290686
What news? Havent seen anything

>>10290885

Probably because there isn't any

>>10289139
Their stuff is hit and miss, the big builds look amazing but I've seen smaller props up close that my friends have had commissioned from them and it wasn't worth the money.

Anyone see the guy with "Anime league is a Sin" sign at mcm? hes been reported to the police for slander

>>10291590
For real? It's just a joke bro

>>10291590
Fuck off mike

>B-b-but please owfficers the-they're distwoying my wivlyhood!
