Male cosplayers who are crossplaying for "laughs" as female characters. Cringiest shit ever. STOP DOING IT.

At one point when I did tracksuit Ryuko, I heard a girl behind me say "Ryoko!" Without thinking twice, I turned around and blurted out "Ryuko." Guess she didn't care THAT much cause I still got a photo with her.

>>10483213
How old were you when this happened? This is so devoid of thinking about what trouble this would cause for other people its crazy.

>>10483213
kinda cringe anon
But fuck it, I'll give a greentext
>At local stateside con
>cosplaying as firm serpent
>hiding in cardboard box most of the time other people are coming up to get pictures, pretty fun ngl
>suddenly out of the corner of my peripheral vision a red blob is rushing towards me making a squealing noise
>Massive 200lb tumblrina in red checker lumberjack shirt with a blue medical mask (this was before coronachan btw) and that baseball bat with the chainwire rushes up to me and starts bear hugging me
>brain shuts off, I've got no fucking clue why this is happening
>SNAKE!!!! SNAKE!!!! IT'S SNAKE EEEEVEERRRYONNNNEEE
>a woman is hugging me, why the fuck is a woman hugging me
>Manage to back off and start nervously laughing, brain starts kicking into defcon level 5 autism
>SNAKE, IT'S SNAKE!!!!
>Try hiding in box
>She fucking grabs the box and tries to cram herself inside of it with me
>instant friendzone, nope the fuck out of the box
>This woman is breaking down into hysterical giggling as she immediately bolts off with my box
>Bitchwtf.mpg
>Have to follow this person across the entire convention floor that is packed with people to get my box back
>Finally get the box back, this woman is laughing like a crazy person
>I'm still nervously laughing trying to play it off
>Nod to her and start walking away
>She's following me
>WAIT WTF SHE'S CHASING ME
>fucking sprint out of there because I don't know what the fuck is happening
>Finally lose this woman
>sit by a vending machine for 30 minutes wondering why or what the fuck just happened
>found out later that this was called "smooshing" or something and that people will do this for some reason in cons
In retrospective, she probably wanted my Initial D and I was a faggot for backing out but what happened was way too fucking strange for me to process at the time to even understand. I've had a couple of other wierd run-ins at cons, but off the top of my head, this was the wierdest thing that ever happened.

Every day I'm reminded it exists is another day I'm writhing in pain.

>>10483216
fuck off twat

I don't have any autistic moments that come to mind but I always act a bit autistic, so ... I'm generally too shy to make a huge autistic scene.

My most autistic cosplay was probably an MLP/Homestuck crossover

>>10484418
>>10484416
Homestuck was so amazing, hanging out with the Homestuck community has been some of my greatest con experiences. Such a friendly and fun group of people, and just seeing the nice character designs and people cosplaying them is wonderful

>>10484416
>>10484418
goddamn was homestuck massive. hussie really fucked himself over lol

>see attractive girl cosplaying same character as me (guy)
>too spergy to ask for a pic
>friend with me goes up and asks them for a picture with me
>put my thumbs up and look like a dweeb
>still one of my favorite pics from that con

>>10489374
your probably worse than you think you are

>>10489665
How? I create awkward moments when I talk to strangers, but how could I do anything worse when I don't run up and glomp people or try to be in character?

>>10483746
pray you bleached the parts where she touched you

>>10489687
just a general rule of thumb you arent the worst nor are you the absolute cancer that are those people but you are still probably worse than you think you are

>>10484315
This is just standard con idiocy, fuck security for getting annoyed it was probably amusing for the con goers for a while. If it's your moat autistic moment you seem pretty safe

>>10489374
>Claim to have no real autistic moments
>Loves the homestuck community and being a part of it

Anon, I have some bad news for you...

> 18 and shy af
> only irl weeb friend is busy
> decide to meet up with some mutuals from tumblr for the con
> pick a day to do hetalia group cosplay
> turns out the two people met up with had a whole hetalia group I didn't know about
> russia talks to me in fake russian accent with random russian words thrown in
> notice everyone in the group is doing that stupid shit
> I was Prussia and am actually fluent in german, so I decide to do my best Berlin accent and throw random german around
> group boosts my ego by calling me "their head canon"
> continue to do cringe hetalia shit with them like march through the halls singing the theme song

I went to a yaoi panal with them too and looking back, that panel makes me want to die. I just wanted friends. Safe to say, I never cosplayed Prussia again.

>>10483216
Sailor Bubba is LEGEND, bitch!

Well, after reading >>10492451 which I didn't find very autistic at all, I'm thinking maybe I can tell about things that certain people may have thought to be "cringe", even if they weren't very autistic.

I have worn a Nepeta hat and a Terezi cape as regular clothes in the city, at no specific occasion only because I wanted to use them as regular clothes.
I dressed in full John cosplay on a national holiday where everyone are expected to wear their absolutely best clothes (but I didn't take part in any festivities so it wasn't really that autistic).

As Homestuck groups we never did anything that autistic either. We were well behaved.

If brony stuff counts as /cgl/, we were more autistic as a group there, at least occasionally. Walking around singing MLP songs, bouncing along and shouting fun fun fun. Not that autistic though and that was not me personally the group as a whole.

I'm trying to think, but I can't really think of much. Talking to strangers just because you went to the same con might be a bit autistic? Oh, maybe I got one more Homestuck thing. Walking around with eyes closed or blindfolded and trying to navigate your way around the city just by sniffing? Never went far with it though, just did some tests to see if it was viable. (It might be with enough practice)

>>10484315
This is probably the least annoying thing a jojos cosplayer has ever done

>>10492745
god your such a fucking autist holy shit

>>10492745
this is all definitely very autistic

>>10493761
>>10493770
Being a former fan of H*mestuck and NOT being completely embarrassed by that phase immediately qualifies you for autism. You could be the biggest chad alive but if you look back on that time without cringing you are an autismo.

>>10483213

>first con i could ever go to
>is 14, with dad for adult supervision
>absolutely shitty attempt at an amethyst cosplay. (would never attempt again)
>joins in a group of homestucks
>ok yeah theyre doing their shit everyone knows what they do
>shitty toy bonnie cosplayer comes over
>is nice to her because im 14
>again, im 14
>loudly questions "hey! do you listen to homesmut voices"
>disgusted panic sets in, dad is literally a few feet away
>i dont reply, i just walk to my dad and ignore the cosplayer
>dadletsgohome.jpg
>i dont ever tell him about it but im fairly sure it counts as sexual harassment

Fun.

>>10492745
>Doesn't consider a pack of manchildren bronies wandering about and ""bouncing"" whilst loudly singing MLP songs to be 'that' autistic

Dude as a former ponyfag that is textbook embarrassing brony behavior from the early mlp fandom in like 2011-2014, you are probably in some cringe videos

>>10492745
Ok I just looked up that cape and hat. That is so fucking autistic I don’t even know where to start. Then the rest of the shit you did. Wow. Do you think you’re like cute when you do this stuff? You’re a grown man. Even little kids bouncing around singing outside get on peoples nerves. But a grown ass man? If this were the early 80s you’d be taken to a psych ward lmao

>>10496086
Not that anon, but they could have very well been a teen at the time, Homestuck peaked over 7 years ago. Also could be a girl. As another autistic girl myself that was into HS and adjacent to the MLP freaks, there were a lot of teenage girls that acted like this back then, and still do but in other fandoms. Regardless of gender, it is autistic and embarrassing looking back on, but at worst we were just annoying people around us, not really causing harm other than making people cringe.

>>10496029
I don't think anything you do in a group can truly be THAT autistic. And yeah, I am in a cringe brony video. We were singing Let It Go as loudly as we could in the middle of a tourist spot, and we recorded it. I cringe so much whenever I think about it, but it's a good type of cringe, like I want to bury my face in my hands but it was still fun and a good time. I see it as a good memory even if I cringe when I think about it.

I think I may have some more brony stuff, and not all of it was in a group.

I wore MLP figurine(s) attached to my pants constantly for more than a year, maybe close to two. (Looking back and learning more about the fashions at the time it was actually quite fashionable though)
During the peak of MLP, when literally everyone at cons were bronies, someone came to remember me as "the brony".
I didn't actually do this, but I considered and suggested to someone else that it could be fun to try to play DDR on all four like a pony. I cringe at the thought that I even considered this.
I've also worn an Applejack cap with ears, eyes and hair outside like the Homestuck stuff, for no particular reason in public.

This may be less /cgl/ related and more 4chan related, but as a bit of a memelord I for a time often carried a bit of spaghetti in my pockets at the time. No one could have seen it though, it may have been more something to entertain myself.

At one con I jump roped with a Hogwarts scarf.

Pick one.

>>10498706
The autism is on the group, not the individual, right? An individual that takes part in group activity that may be autistic isn't autistic. It would also be kinda autistic to be a part of a group, but NOT do what the others are doing.

>>10498957
Accessories and such used to be trendy. My brony t-shirt also had the fashionable, tightish fit that was fasionable to wear along with the accessories. If I'd worn slightly more accessories, and done my hair and makeup, I might have looked like scene.

>>10498996
you're an autist so you have no input on this.

>>10483216
Yeah, fuck you. Learn what fun is and go make friends
