/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9744905
One /cgl/ meet-up I went to ended up with us hanging out in someones hotel room watching "The Greatest Story Never Told."

Most of them just end up with a bunch of people hanging out in a bar near the con though.

>>9744905
out of the ones I've been to they usually play out like this
>5-6 cosplayers
>6-7 people in street clothes
>everyone looks at their phones
>some people shitpost out loud about traps or whatever
>1-2 women or traps people try to talk up
>half the people leave to go watch some really bad panel or go to a party
>meetup disperses after an hour or two

but that's based on Acen and other midwest cons.

>>9744905
Can't speak for cosplay but lolita and jfashion meetups are a thing outside of this board (rarely a cgl jfashion meetup will occur, but very rarely)
It's just a bunch of people in lolita fashion, usually at a restaurant or high tea places. Imagine a group of people doing something. Now imagine those people are wearing frilly dresses and petticoats. There: lolita meetup.

>>9744919
ignore me op I completely misread your post, thought you were a newb.

>>9744908
>One /cgl/ meet-up I went to ended up with us hanging out in someones hotel room watching "The Greatest Story Never Told."
Ha, that's pretty funny. I assume it was '''ironic'''?

The UK ones are a bunch of autists and weeaboo lesbians having some beers and shooting the shit, comfy desu

they're full of crossboarders and the worst of /cgl/ users. hardly any lolitas dare go to them.

>>9744927
of course lolitas don't go to them. Lolitas perpetually have a stick up their ass about cosplay and try to stay as far from cosplayers as possible for some reason, and are convinced that we're all "crossboarders".

>>9744905

>has a core group that planned the meet ahead of time.
>more than likely known each other through group chat programs.

>no real plan. All impromptu.
>all the thirst shitposting leads to a lower body count.
>has a chance to turn into a pol meet up

Granted. There will always have those couple of girls/traps that get crowded on by thirsty dudes, but that's pretty much the meat and bones.

There usually aren't any lolitas at /cgl/ meets. Most cons will have their own designated lolita meets, and we try not to bring up /cgl/ in public due to all of the drama (even though all lolitas go on /cgl/ and anyone who denies it is a liar).

Other than that, expect some hilariously bad cosplays for all of the shit talking that goes on here, some autists from /r9k/ or /fit/ that don't know the first thing about /cgl/ other than it's the girl board, and a couple of people who are very obviously regretting their decision to go to a /cgl/ meet and are now trying to find a way out. Back in the day, you'd also have your local attentionwhore tripfags causing a scene, but tripfags are gone from /cgl/ now (good riddance? maybe? I sort of miss them in a fucked up way).

>>9744951
>bad cosplays
that's like 90% of cosplays at any given convention
cosplay is about dressing up and being wacky and having fun, not posting some perfectly accurate outfit to instagram for likes. I feel like with all the shopped pics and bad cosplay threads on here people forget that it has always been people in "bad" cosplays having fun at conventions with the accurate ones as the exception.

>>9744934
Lolitas simply have better options. I’ve seen pictures of my area’s seagull meets and it’s always 5-6 awkward scruffy dudes in anime/nerd shirts and jeans and maybe one or two uncomfortable-looking cosplay/kigurumi girls. Why bother when I could just go to a lolita meetup and talk to people I have more in common with?

I find all my /cgl/ meetups have been the most fun meetups I've been to. If anything, the regulars in the Dutch thread have become a larger group of friends and meet up regularly outside of cons.

>>9744961
>have better options
Sounds to me like you're either just stuck up or are anti-social

the /cgl/ meetups I went to were pretty fun. (Dutch btw)
the guy that arranges them is hated by a good portion of the mainstream animu community so there's that.
>>9744908
you sure it wasn't the /pol/ meetup?

>>9744923
It was ironic. We got an hour in before someone who had just tagged along realized that they were blaming everything on the jews.

>>9744965
He seemed pretty nice tho!

>>9744972
most of the guys that hate opa are annoying weebs anyway.

>>9744973
True that!

>>9744964
>just stuck up
Not that anon, but yes, I do think I am better than hanging out with some thirsty "muhhh no lolita gfffff... can i grab your fake tits trap-chan?" losers.
>anti-social
Avoiding the wrong people is anti-social now? Most cons have lolita meets which we go to. Yes, choosing to go to meets with people we have more in common with is soooo anti-social anon.

>>9744963
>>9744965
>>9744972

Dutch meets are pretty comfy. I like that we have meets outside of cons as well.
I regularly wear my frills to the pub to meet gull friends.

Meets on cons always end in patreon worthy photos with seagull masks for whatever reason. I love you guys a lot!

>>9744973
We all hate the senior con gopher who is obviously pulling strings at a big convention.

>>9744973
Which.. opa?

>>9744964
>prefer hanging out with people I have things in common with over random guys who spend the entire time staring at their phone
>anti-social
Haha sure.

>>9744968
lel, I work at a senior home with a majority jewish population and was showing a bunch of documentaries on Israel. We got five minutes through one and I started getting weird vibes, googled the company who made it and they're a very professional looking stormfront.

To keep this on topics, has anyone made friends and stayed in contact with any gulls they've met irl?

>>9744965
But OPa isn't in this pic >>9744972 ?

I didn't realise he was hated. I thought most people had no idea who he was anyway.

Fit as many people into a bathroom and have a female (male) orgy

>>9744980

the dutch Secret Santa elite meet was lit!

The poems were funny, the presents were great and the bully gifts were awesome!

>>9744973
To be honest, I don't like him that much as well..

>>9744983
All of the Dutch gulls seem to have become good friends.

>>9744985
holy fucking shit, that kid with the glasses, fro and hoodie in the bottom right, is his name Jordan?

>>9744986
It was indeed fun! Even though I did not quite understand the bully gifts and why people.. gave them.. (I do now, but I did not at that time lol)

But it was indeed fun yes :)

>>9744993
I loved my bully gift.

And I wished I had brought them with me today...as I discovered a cut on my fingers.

>>9744980
I would never take patreon worthy pics with my seagull mask.

>>9745001

you forgot the hello kitty bandages!?

>>9745002

we need more for next year's calender
which month do you want to be?

>>9744985

Depends on the people in the region really, different areas have different people. Everyone is nice though.

It's usually always drinking/hanging out in a public space, only rarely does it become a room party unless it's a close circle of people.

Most meets are a mix of new people and old (including crossboarders). The true /cgl/ meets are invite-only because they're tripfags of old days.

>>9744986
>using lit unironically
so lit with the senpai amirite squad? let's post with a dab senpai! litttt!

>>9745002
You are missing out, gullfriend.

>>9745010
all those qt girls. i have a hard time imaging any of them spending their time shitposting on /cgl/

>>9745019
The population of /cgl/ female:male is 70:30

>>9745007
They were miffy plasters. But yes I forgot them.

>>9745019
there's a large number of attractive girls on here, but they seem to almost always be obsessed with how much attention they get along with other mental and eating related issues.

>>9745021
That's because of the lolitas

>>9745021
I feel attacked... And yet I don't care

>>9744985
>>9745010
that's a huge difference

>>9744916
Pretty accurate though mine are different somehow, AWA was awesome everyone had some drinks partied around got drunk and went around for some cosplay pics. Still have some cool people on facebook,but that is rare. Most of the time it is like

>5-6 cosplayer show up and talk about stuff
>People who don't gather together to talk
>the lolitas group together, and do passive aggressive shit to eachother
>people in street clothing do nothing but dick on their phones and never talk
>cosplayers bullshit about stuff get annoyed and want to do something
>lolita's just leave
>somehow a bar might come into the mix
>people just follow
>some people start chatting about drama shit
>little talk about the con other than how shit it is, even if it is okay
>random e drama spreads to 90% of the fucking group
>people go their ways other than usually the people who ended up drinking a bunch
>few days later
>shitposts on "shit that happened my dad works at Nintendo.txt" in the con thread
>everyone is pissed
>year passes
>OH MAN CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS CON x 20 anons that hated it

>>9744985
fucking normies

>>9744982
Found the lolita cosplayer

>>9744979
I don't think those anons would want you even if you went to the meets. Is that what you're afraid of nonny?

>>9745014

Lolita's are always cancer at a cgl meetup, that's why no one wants them there. So they went and formed their own shit proclaiming it's "better" than anything while they go around acting like they are a gift to the con for being there.

>>9745067
Someone's bitter

>>9745073
Not bitter, that's just how it always is. lolita's are always looking to be complemented on their shit, unless you are constantly talking them up or how they made their dress, a conversation about anything else is impossible. Otakon is probably the only time I've seen an exception to that rule, she was fine with just partying, and I've been to a LOT of cgl meetups across the country.

>>9745065

>>9745021
Traps don't count anon.

>>9745078
yeah, we had a goth loli at one of our meetups who just showed up and sat around trying to look pretty with her legs folded over, and was on her phone whenever people weren't talking about her.
She didn't really want to talk to us except to bum cigarettes off a guy after the meet. IDK what they're so stuck up about all the time

>>9745047
One is new people, the other is old. Can you guess which?

>>9745081
>>9745065
Hello there

>>9745090
ALA doesn't count

So it's 5-7 people meeting up consisting of, some angry lolitas maybe, a handful of normalfags not normally into cons and cosplay, a little bit of alcohol in a bar, traps + orbiters, and a 0.001% chance of a bunch of hot girls and sex?

>>9745101
If you go to a cgl meetup for sex, expect disappointment unless it is a KNOWN party con like dragon con, ALA, AWA, etc. For the most part there are usually like 3 or 4 chill people there just wanting to hang out and stuff. Lolita's will just show up, then ditch the second attention goes away from them or they are annoyed by another lolita. I've had some really good times with cgl on meetups but I've had more "why did I bother" times than I can count. E drama filters over half the time, someone is super awkward, or no one has any plans on what to do so it fizzles out. Unless the meetup for the con has like "meetup at X then we'll head over to Y" don't bother, because I can almost garuntee you it will devolve into the "what do you wanna do, idk what do you wanna do" situation.

>>9745107
>someone is super awkward
what did you expect on a board full of autists?

>>9745101
Basically, yes. In my experience it's been 95% dudes in street clothes. Last year we picked up two girls and a BF (who may or may not have been seagulls at all) during our adventures.
Honestly the best meet I ever went to was me and two other anons meeting in front of the con center and checking out a couple bars while shooting the shit on Day 0.

>>9745101
You're more likely to get your dick sucked from a trap than actually getting laid.

Don't go along to things thinking you'll get sum fuk, go to make friends and have a good time.

>>9745127
>Honestly the best meet I ever went to was me and two other anons meeting in front of the con center and checking out a couple bars while shooting the shit on Day 0.
This is honestly one of if not the best outcomes for these things

>>9745122
I still like to give people the benefit of the doubt that people can function without needing constant supervision.

>>9745127
Unless a gull is willing to drink I never get my expectations up. Not saying you HAVE to drink to have a good time, but the people who sperg out about alcohol is a red flag to going about ending your con fun asap.

>>9745133
>Unless a gull is willing to drink I never get my expectations up.
tfw just turned 20

The one meet I was going to go to had 0 other women, 0 other lolitas, and full of the same type of 'winners' I already socialise with in Magic.
Not really interested in babysitting autists.

>>9745141
I always bring alcohol and am always willing to contribute to the delinquency of a minor so no worries.

>>9745141
I'd say go to the Otakon meets then since no-one will card you, but it's moved to DC now.

>>9745141
Again read the rest of the post
>Not saying you HAVE to drink to have a good time, but the people who sperg out about alcohol is a red flag to going about ending your con fun asap.

You can be fine without it, just don't be that one dude who wants to inform everyone else about the dangers of booze or why someone who had 4 beers are "too drunk and need water!". Holy shit some of that stuff is annoying as shit.

>>9744934
When you're in plain clothes, you have more in common with crossboarders than cosplayers when it comes to a meet where pictures eventually come out.
If you're in full gear it hides your dopey face.

I generally don’t mind the meetups but I also don’t go in expecting to get laid. It’s like going out to meet people anywhere else, some people are cool but some are autists so just go with the mentality to make friends and neither of the two types should really bother you.

Doesn't mean I can't have a good time, I've just had more worse than better. Not like I'll completely cold shoulder you, just not looking to expect a drunken night of party and dancing or shit

>>9745164
none of that made any sense. Did you have an aneurysm mid post?

Has there been any NYC /cgl meets? I'm curious and not a part of any comm. so I don't really worry about "getting banned" as some stories go. It seems these are relatively obscure as well, is that on purpose? This seems to be a relatively fast-moving board so I'd expect a lot of people but maybe I'm wrong.

The itabag thread-specific meet ups I went to were great! Just a bunch of hard core fans oohing and ahhing over each other's beautiful bags, taking photos, asking about where people got things or complimenting creative layouts. Lasted about 30-45 minutes because I guess there's not hours worth of things to say after everyone takes pictures. But that was before itabags hit mainstream con culture - I haven't seen a seagull itabag meet since then, so I don't know if it'd be the same.

>>9745010
>The true /cgl/ meets are invite-only because they're tripfags of old days.
This. Usually, the meet-ups planned in the threads are actually just a scouting event for the real meet-up.

>>9745192
I'd be curious about this as well, I don't really have people I make cosplays with so finding people in the area would be nice.

>>9744988
>>9744965
>tfw no Dutch friends to talk about my favorite fictional tabby cat, anime, and smoked eel with

Jeez louise, so many people salty about lolitas. In my con area, we formed a cgl lolita group and gotten to be really close friends, though I guess our region is the exception. I'm sure there's more seagulls out there but they seem pretty solitary, probably to stay away from the petty side of cgl. A lot of us are also within a major con circle with some cosplayers and partybros. Our meet ups are usually just chit chatting at the cons before splitting up for food, drinks, panels, or hotels. It's generally chill. We try to avoid meeting up with cross boarders or polfags, we've had bad experiences with them in the past...

>>9745355
>Jeez louise, so many people salty about lolitas. In my con area, we formed a cgl lolita group and gotten to be really close friends, though I guess our region is the exception.
>In my con area, we formed a cgl lolita group

So like others were saying that you generally leave the main meetup for your own thing like >>9745078 said. No one blames you, just realize that lolita's are usually the least of a highlight in a meetup unless they are with other lolita's.

It's cool you made your cosplay, it's cool you know x, y, z about sewing and stuff. But don't go belittle me when "oh you didn't make that yourself and bought it?", or any other of the 5 generic lines lolita's say to offset any kind of conversation going.

>>9745009
>the absolute state of /cgl/

>>9745365
>It's cool you made your cosplay
Wait, i'm confused here. are you talking about lolitas or cosplayers or lolitas who attend cons in cosplay?

Not a regular gull but a friend took me to a /cgl/ party at a con a few years ago and it's just a bunch of people drinking and talking. Kinda lame but I was also used to just doing tons of drinking games at college parties so that was my frame of reference for, like, a party.

>>9744905
Beware the guy in pink shirt.

>>9745365
Nice hasty generalization bud. Unless if a lolita came wearing an amazing handmade dress with perfect pintucks, why would she care if you bought your cosplay? Most lolitas buy their dresses and don't make them. I have a hard time seeing all lolitas putting down cosplayers for buying shit when 9/10 of them aren't going around sewing every dress they wear unless they're a poorfag or extremely skilled. Besides, you taking that question so personally sounds like a you problem, being that sensitive. From what I've seen, lolitas have been nice at meetups. Not in the kiss your ass because they're thirsty for male attention like cosplay girls I've seen at meetups nice though.
>inb4 d-dumb lolita!
I'm a guy, and a cosplayer.

>>9745412
>I'm a guy, and a cosplayer.
>I'm a white knight defending his perfect maidens

>>9745394
lolita's who go to meetups outside a lolita meetups, then wonder why it's not all about them

>>9745412
Is this a real post?

>>9745365
Why do you keep mentioning making shit? No lolita makes their own shit.

>>9745425
Because someone hurt his sensative fee fees so every lolita must be an evil demon sprouted from the pits of hell who's out to get every cosplayer who doesn't make their cosplay.

>>9745425
I just mentioned it though?

and guys here wonder why girls state "no guys" in their ff posts jfc

>>9745432
>cgl is one person

This thread is turning into a good example of why I rarely go to cgl meetups anymore. It devolves into some bullshit that I don't give a shit about, and petty crap NO one cares about. Unless you are going to just chill and have fun then why go to a meetup, you offer nothing over the +1k people I can hang out with at a con

>>9745355
cosplayers aren't normally fans of lolitas because of our interactions with you guys.
On here, lolitas take over every thread and make it about themselves. When lolitas show up to cons, they usually act stuck up like they're better than the average nerds, and generally if they come to a cgl meet they will either try to make things about them and lolita or just stare at their phones and leave in a huff.
Add in how lolitas like to call cosplayers "crossboarders" because they have other interests and always make a big stick about it.

Maybe if you guys didn't act like such stuck up bitches to people they wouldn't be "salty" about you.

>>9745434
most of the guys in this thread are acting like all lolitas have one personality. it's not shocking they want to avoid us.

>>9745453
No one is missing you, believe me

>>9745453
>Man I hate generalizations
>I know, I'll generalize some other group and then bitch about it

if you want cosplayers to like lolitas, then why don't you and your comm come to cgl meets at your lolcal con and actually be nice? because the lolitas who DO show up definitely act stuck up and like cunts to cosplayers.

>>9745454
>>9745458
Man you guys are mad

>>9745449
Why would lolitas want to talk about cosplay? Of course they want to talk about lolita. And lolita is relevant to a cGL meetup, whether you're into it or not.

No one is a bitch just because they don't want to talk about the same things as you, or because they leave when they find out no one wants to talk about the same things as them. You're probably also projecting, you want every thread/conversation to be about what you're interested in, thus lolitas MUST be wanting the same.

>>9745454
The more guys who avoid me, the better

>>9745463
It's more pointing out the plain painstakingly obvious to lolita cosplayers that refuse to realize that a con of over 2,000 people that, sweetie, you ain't a special snowflake. The reason you form a group of your own is because when it comes to socializing even the worse stereotypical gull or watamote cosplayer does it better.

>>9745466
More lolita's that avoid me the better, seriously most are stuck up morons who can't handle a joke, humor, or even hold a conversation outside of lolita fashion. Also who said I was a guy? Why are you assuming this shit?

>>9745472
>did you just assume my gender?????

>>9745473
You implied I was a guy, there for I'm asking you what guys have to do with anything related to what you were talking about sweetie.

Or is that too hard

>>9745465
when people are discussing anime or cosplay, or a panel, you don't just butt your head into their conversation and start talking about lolita or how much your dress cost or how someone really shouldn't have bought their cosplay because it's such a gross aliexpress cosplay. You just go with it and try to be social.

I swear, it's like the dumb lolitas who wander into cgl meets are the ones who are too antisocial to have friends in their own comm or are too attentionstarved to pass up a chance to make things about them.

you want cosplayers to like lolitas? a good start is to actually have the decent people from your comm go to the meets, otherwise all we see are the rejects your comm doesn't like or want around them, and we have to assume that's what you're all like.

>>9745472
>assuming I've done any of that shit
>tfw I'm both a lolita and a cosplayer
>regularly attend meetups that are made of both cosplayers and lolitas and we all get along swimmingly
I'm not denying that there are stuck up lolitas but there are a lot of stuck up cosplayers, too. We're just not bitchy enough to discount somebody until we actually talk for a bit just because one of their hobbies.

>>9745480
Yeah but like, it's like saying "not all homestuck cosplayers suck". You have a name group, and specific meetups, separate from cgl, and still try to force in. You're proving every counterpoint against lolitas in this thread.

>>9745454
>>9745458
kek, i'm a guy.
>they want to avoid us
what is reading comprehension? you fags are ruining it for the rest of us

>>9744985
Reminder that these are the non-cosplayers posting your friends' pictures in bad cosplay threads.

>>9745486
>You have a name group, and specific meetups, separate from cgl, and still try to force in
I don't, I literally said so
>You're proving every counterpoint against lolitas in this thread
no I'm not? why are you so angry?

>>9744905
Some are amazing. Some are amazingly bad.

Best I ever went to was a complete, old time tea party with home made foods and gourmet tea. One seagull brought a violin, and another guy and seagull taught a fun country dance.

Worst meetup I ever went to included one gull forcing the bathroom door open while another was peeing, because she left her oxy on the counter. There was also some creeper chick who said "desu" out loud, trying to get some boys in really good lolita drag to kiss, and was really uncomfortably aggressive about it.

>>9744905
I've tried going to a couple of /cgl/ meetups and most were a clusterfuck as there wasn't a specification as to if it was cosplay/lolitta/jfash/4chan centric. This board loses a lot of comradery that certain other boards have due to it being a mishmash of different interests. Then there are the thirsty beta cucks that orbit looking for a cute cosplay/lolita gf who come to the meet in plain clothes. Most people at those meets have the standard social stigma of people that don't know how to behave in public.

Around my area we have 3 different groups that host local events and meetups for cosplayers and those are a lot better to meet new people that are actually into cosplay. Less people looking to hookup and some of them even require a costume for entry. Sure there's the occasional person who is just embarrassing themselves there, but the organizers are good at having a talk with them to help straighten them out.

Did a very minor /cgl/ meet on Drachenfest which mainly consisted of us trying to find out where the Hell the other guy was. It's awfully funny to come back from a night with some of the Drachenfest crew to hear they've been asking around for a Mongolian Spear Chucker Picture Fanatic from the Netherlands. This year we're going to try and do it better though, so can give you the rundown of /cgl/ LARP meets.

Current Drachenfest group has 5 4Chinners already and counting.

>>9744924
>shooting the shit

>>9745429
Well I mean this sentence is mostly true. Lolitas are a special kind of scary from time to time. Depends on the comm, depends on the girl, etc.

But it do.

>>9745527
Maybe he's the puppy that got kicked. Poor little fellow.

I've been wanting to try the anime north one, but not sure.

is it even worth attending a meet if you're unable to drink (meds/health issue)? it seems like a fairly common occurrence at meets. I wouldn't want to seem weird or left out if everyone around me was drunk and I was sober.

>>9745634
I think I'm going to AN for the first time this year, and I don't drink, so if there's any kind of meet up, you won't be the only sober one!

And honestly, people don't care if you're not drinking. They only care if you're being a buzzkill.

>>9745412
>Im a guy

Senpai, I can smell the doritos from here

>>9745561
Why does it need to be defined? If it's at a con it should be assumed that it's going to mainly be anime and cosplay stuff and not revolve around some dumb niche fashion

This board is titled Cosplay and Elegant Gothic Lolita for a reason. If it's a board meetup, I'd at least expect lolita over anime.

So the problem comes from guys hanging out on here who don't actually cosplay or wear frills (or even any jfashion) who just want to come to meets because this is the "girl board" or because they think that cosplaying is close enough to anime as an interest that they'll fit in. And that simply isn't true.

>>9745623

>>9745777
Then you're expecting wrong. Lolita may have taken over this board but at an actual con very few people wear it. It's also been pointed out multiple times that lolitas are stuck up and don't want to talk to cosplayers because they think they're somehow better. So meets are usually just cosplayers and anime fans hanging out and having fun.

God damn I swear lolitas turn everything into drama about them

>>9745781
Lmfao shut the fuck up stefan

>>9745785
Who?

>>9745781
>generic anime fans and crossboarders show up to /cgl/ meetups and have nothing to contribute to cosplay or egl
>lolitas decide to make their own meetups to make sure they are actually meeting up with similarly interested people
>THOSE STUCK UP LOLIS!!!!!

>>9745788
>how dare those bitches not stick around to talk to me!
>b-but it's not like I wanted to talk to them anyway!
This is some incel shit, honestly.

>>9745788
Well yeah, it's pretty stuck up to declare everyone else on the board isn't a "real" member unless they wear some ugly fashion. The fact that there here to see the thread and are at the con should be enough to know that they have things in common and just want to hang out. Are all lolitas this much of a cunt?

>>9745792
I've attended multiple cgl meetups at local cons and found out, in person, that I had nothing in common with 95% of the people there. What else do you want from us? Should we be pretending to be into the same anime as you are just to spare your feelings? Why are you so angry that people you clearly dislike aren't spending time with you? That's not healthy, anon.

>>9745793
I don't want anything from you. I just want lolitas itt to stop shitting things up and throwing a tantrum because people on this board have meetups they don't like. There's more to the board than bitchy Lolita drama, and if we're so bad then fine don't show up. But then don't complain that we don't invite or cater to you, or that we judge lolitas based on the bitchy, cunty few who show up and act like they own the place. If it's that important that cosplayers like you, then show up and be social and nice. If not then just leave us alone and stop coming into threads trying to start shit.

>>9745792
I didn't claim that. I said that this board is dedicated to two things: cosplay and lolita (and other jfashion gets thrown in with it). And I said that there are a lot of people who show up to meets who don't actually have EITHER of those interests at all, which is what this board is dedicated to. So because of that, people who DO have those interests want to make sure they find each other. The easiest way to do that? Specialized meetups.

Also, I'm not a lolita, so you can throw that thought aside.

>>9745801
This, all the cgl meets I've seen were full of guys in normie clothes playing with their phones and yelling memes at each other. Cosplayers would show up but leave almost immediately, and I don't blame them.

>>9745807
>tfw no costume only meet ups
Would be more interesting than what usually goes down. Sadly not everyone has a costume they're willing stay in during a night of drinking and and socializing.

>>9744905
Only been to meetups where we've known each other for months already beforehand on personal messengers. You filter out a lot of the autism that way. My closest friends and SO are all from /cgl/ so I'd say the meetups were pretty good. Sometimes they split into half the group talking lolita and the other half talking cosplay but nobody is disrespectful to one another. Being a guy into both lolita and cosplay makes it easy to fit into ant /cgl/ conversation.

>>9745807
Do you seriously think cosplayers never change out of their cosplays to eat or drink or party?

Besides that, we can't control who shows up to the first meet. Anyone who sees the post can come, but if you don't come to the first meet there's no way we're inviting you to our party or second meet. I help run a group that organized these meets and that's how we've always done it.

>>9745801
Groups do that like I said, but to get to the invite only Meetup, you have to go to the first public one we can't stop weird and creepy people from going to. We're not going to invite you to our invite only party just because you wear a lolita dress or are in cosplay and say you're totally from 4chan.

They're usually full of orgies.
Basically.

>>9745796
>I just want lolitas itt to stop shitting things up and throwing a tantrum because people on this board have meetups they don't like.
Can you stop trying to speak for everyone as if your experience is the only valid one? T.b.h you're more of the one that won't drop the topic and look like you're throwing a tantrum.

>>9745877
Headpat orgies during the hentai showing.

Every time this topic comes up I feel it's like the same one or two people who say this shit. It's always the same wording, all the same event, always the same allegations. In any case, I can rest assured I can make one or two peoples' day bad just by showing up apparently, which is always nice.

>>9745884

>>9745927

>>9745963

I can honestly say, the Dutch gulls are a group of people I'd like to count as my favourite people to hang out with at cons. And outside of cons. I don't go to meets often due to location issues, but when I go, my jaws hurt from laugher, we have a good time and no regrets!

Though next time I'd like to join a sushimeet. But first the Gullmeet in the Gullhotel with the Gullpool.

>>9746252
Oh I stand corrected. One comment totally warrants all the butthurt in this thread.

My state is pretty chill desu.
I've made a few friends out of the meets and it's a fairly even male-female ratio generally.
We usually get something to eat/drink and hang out. At bigger cons we play a game and then splinter off into smaller groups generally.

I was the person who originall posted >>9745561

The comments express why it's so important to specify what kind of meetup it is.

>>9745777
>If it's a board meetup, I'd at least expect lolita over anime.
When the meetup is taking place at an anime convention? Let's delve a bit deeper here. Most anime conventions I go to have some Lolita content and generally there's a tea party at some point. This isn't something that I generally see anywhere on the schedule at a comicon. The reason that Lolita even has a place at anime conventions is because of the connection to it being a japanese culture fad thingy. But really, lolita is a tack-on to these conventions that help them sell tickets to people who aren't interested in anime. They're like steam punk in that regard. I honestly would like to know why people would think that a /cgl/ meetup at an anime convention would be Lolita>Cosplay.

>>9745801
>Specialized meetups.
This person gets it

>>9745833
>Do you seriously think cosplayers never change out of their cosplays to eat or drink or party?
This is what casual/light cosplays are for. I wouldn't go out drikning in a full body suit, something that required intricate makeup, had wings or a large styled wig. However a costume that consists of a jacket or t-shirt with a simple wig fits the bill. And if anyone wants to make a negative comment about my simple cosplay, I can immediately tell they are a piece of shit who doesn't cosplay and are not worth talking to.

>>9746435
Nobody said Lolita>Cosplay. They said Lolita>general anime discussion. This is /cgl/ not /a/. One would assume a /cgl/ meetup would be /cGL/ related.

I not necessarily disagree with you, but don't pretend anon said something they didn't.

>>9746435
not everyone has 10 different cosplays to change into or out of, some people just bring 1 or 2 and change out when they're done going around the dealers hall or panels. All I'm saying is it's weird to try to judge a group at an anime con based on who's in street clothes because you have no clue.
Lots of judgemental people in here who seem to take one look at a public meet and then assume a lot about how things are.

We plan the public meet and can't prevent anyone from going. We then invite the people we like to another meet a few hours later or a party and hang out there. If people don't hang around the first one and talk to us, we're not inviting you any further, just like the weird creepy people who we don't invite past the first meet. no one gets a pass.

>>9746439
it's an anime convention, everyone there likes anime. It's the safest way to start a discussion there without hitting some hot button issue or without people knowing what you're saying and there being silence. You lot are reading way too much into it instead of trying to go with it and enjoy it.

>>9746435
The first two posts you replied to are both me, lmao. Thanks for writing a rant the first time and agreeing the second time when I said the same thing.

>>9746457
yeah, but how do you even have those specialized meetups without the way things currently work?
you need to post in the thread, then invite people to another meet or discord group or something.

That's exactly what communities like mine do on here. We post about it, talk to people, and invite the people we like to a party. I don't see how you expect to have a public meet, but not allow people to come.

A lot of lolita statements are pretty spot on. I don't care if lolita's show up but it's almost always impossible to talk to them or them interact with anyone.

They are usually their for the tea party, a small panel on fashion, or to just talk with other lolitas. So when they show up to a cgl meetup, they generally not interested in anime, the other panels, or talking about anything outside of lolita fashion. This makes interactions difficult since they don't relate to like 99% of the con or group. They seem to get flustered because of that then head out fairly quick, then I have to read on the con thread about how the meetup sucked.

>>9746466
You make them in lolita comm groups. That's why they're made separately to the /cgl/ meetups because no one wants to deal with the crossboarders and generic anime fans anymore.

I'm also saying the reason this is done is because of the fact that crossboarders and anime fans invaded meetups in the first place. When the board is dedicated to two things (cosplay and lolita, as a reminder), you expect the people meeting up to have at least one of those interests. But the problem is 90% of them don't. They're in normie clothes and don't cosplay at all (as I don't believe that you have to go to meets IN cosplay. Some of that shit is expensive and hard to move in). So rather than wasting time trying to navigate who actually shares their interests in meetups, lolitas tend to make their own outside of this board because this board has been taken over by /a/ and /r9k/ crossboarders.

The reason that this affects lolitas more than cosplayers is because cosplayers are often cosplaying from anime. That means they watch anime, which means when the crossboarders show up, they can still hold conversations with them. Lolitas are not guaranteed to watch anime or any media, so there is no starting point to have this conversation, even if they were fine with crossboarders. So they get this reputation for being stuck up when they really just want to have conversations with people they actually know they have shit in common with.

It isn't that difficult.

>>9746481
so you're saying you want all future cgl meets to specifically exclude cosplayers because you think we're "crossboarders"?

that's just plain retarded.

>>9746481
>no one wants to deal with the crossboarders and generic anime fans anymore.

What planet do you live on man? with out those anime cons would basically not exist. If you're going to an anime con, there is a really good chance a lot of /a/, /jp/, and some /v/ showing up

This is how the lolita community and stuff is seen as a car analogy
>Person likes motorcycles
>shows up to a car show
>car show has a small section with some motorcycles but mostly all cars because it's a car show
>Meetup of people who want to talk about cars forms
>Motorcycle person shows up and wants to talk about motorcycles
>Person doesn't really relate to anyone else outside some minor points
>Person really doesn't fit in and refuses to accept that they are a small small part of said car show

>>9746482
Again, not what I said at all.

>>9746488
I'm saying nothing about the generic population of anime cons. I'm talking about /cgl/ meets. How bad is reading comprehension on this site?

>>9746491
I was asking how are we supposed to have meets and not allows "crossborders" to show up then since that seems to be what a lot of salty lolitas complain about over and over and over about.
your response was that meets should be organized by a lolita comm to vett people

that seems really stupid given the salt lolitas have against cosplayers and how they seem to like to label us all "crossboarders" like how you seem to be doing yourself.

The current system works. the problem is that bitchy people and lolitas can't see past it, and can't bring themselves to deal with the awkwardness for the half an hour it takes to get to know the core members of the group who are organizing and get vetted to the actual meet or party.

So then you all say the meet sucks and is full of "crossboarders"

>>9746498
> That's why they're made separately to the /cgl/ meetups because no one wants to deal with the crossboarders and generic anime fans anymore.
>So they get this reputation for being stuck up when they really just want to have conversations with people they actually know they have shit in common with.


Uhh it actually could be with what you said in the first part, of that rant. Trying to exclude yourself from "normies and crossboarders" sounds and is stuck up. I'm not always a fan with everything that happens at a cgl meetup but it's usually just something not even worth thinking about for anymore than a second

>>9746498
>salty lolitas complain about over and over and over
>is a salty cosplayer complaining about the same shit over and over and over

You're literally just as bad.

>>9746501
it still doesn't make sense why lolitas feel the need to bash the cosplay meets or show up just to shit on what someone else is working to organize just because they see people in street clothes at a public meet broadcast on the board

>>9746498
There is no "vetting." There is just meeting up with people who like the same shit as you. That's what lolitas are doing by avoiding the /cgl/ meetups because the /cgl/ meetups have become generic meetups that don't focus on /cgl/.

Again, please learn to read. At no point have I called cosplayers "crossboarders."

>>9746518
>there's no "vetting"
Except there is. Most cosplay and cgl meets have two parts anon.
1 - public meet
>we can't control who comes to this
>people in whatever community organized it are scoping out people who are interested in the same things and are in cosplay, anime, etc
>those people get added on discord, social media, etc
2 - Private meet/party
>only members of whatever group are there
>people who were vetted or invited from the public meet are invited to come

what you're expecting is part 2 but from part 1. That's not gonna happen, you have to get to know the organizers to get invited to the real meet anon. that's where the people you're wanting to talk to are, and where the creeps aren't invited.

>>9746525
I'm saying the lolita meets have no vetting.

I'm not expecting anything. I'm literally explaining why lolitas don't go to meets based around /cgl/ because /cgl/ meets are rarely /cgl/-related anymore.

>>9746551
and I'm telling you cgl meets are still related to cgl, but you're just making snap judgments based on a public meet before the actual meet, and it's completely wrong

Are you implying that cgl meetups should talk about the board of cgl? Why the fuck would you want to do that and bring a shit ton of e-drama over? Seriously /cgl/ meetups I go to usually is people talking about the con, anime they are following, just chill shit they are doing in life, and sometimes plan for a party later.

We had a meetup at Naka-kon last year. We had 30-ish people show up now half of the group are Facebook friends and we have IRL meetups sometimes.
The Kansas City gulls have been really fucking cool and friendly

>>9746562
Having to have a public meet before the "actual super secret meet" just proves that the meetups aren't /cgl/-centric, and I'm telling you why lolitas are avoiding them. Why would they waste their time going to a fake meetup to hopefully get picked by these self-appointed /cgl/ elders to join a real meetup when they can avoid all of that nonsense by just organizing their own?

>>9746570
Not talk about the board itself, idiot. But if you go to a meetup based around Cosplay and Elegant Gothic Lolita, you should be able to talk about one of those two subjects.

>>9746580
You must be the life of any party or meetup

>>9746580
God damn now I see why you're salty. You must not get invited to parties

>>9746580
I dunno where you live, but my local con's "secret meet" actually has a good chunk of lolita-wearing folk. Maybe one or two of them go to the public meet to scout, but the rest just directly attend the private meet because they don't want to interact with creeps if they don't have to. Which might make it seem that the "/cgl/" meets don't have any lolita content, but in reality that's because you're just looking at the surface.

>>9746580
You're sperging out because you simultaneously want a meet to be public and allow everyone, but also not have creeps and weirdos. That doesn't happen , and that's why almost every con group who organized these meets has the 2 meet system. We filter out the creeps so they don't get drunk and handsy with people and ruin the fun. Maybe if you werent so autistic you'd get invited to one

>>9746577
that doctor girlfriend is great

>>9745010
That wasnt a meetup, that was a birthday party (Though I think 5-6 people there are seagulls).
>>9746525
In some respects this is true, but for partying purposes, not some sort of secret meetup. I am not gonna invite some creep into my personal hotel room. I think most anyone would do the same though.

>>9745294
I'd be down for it as well, sounds like there's quite a bit of people in the area desu

>>9746457
I agree on the point about specialized meetups because my original comment was about the cluster fuck of interests you see at a /cgl/ meetup. I don't agree that /cgl/ meetups at an anime con should be more about Lolita than anime. Even if you just like the fashion, you should understand that it's popularized by anime.

But that aside, when you make a public meetup, you have no control over shows up. I can concede that a Lolita showing up to a meetup that is mostly dudes in plain clothes spouting internet memes knows immediately they aren't in good company. But consider a cosplayer under the same circumstances. It really isn't that different if a dude is looking to meet Lolitas or Cosplay girls, they're still gonna be creepers. This is why the public meetup is used as a filter before the room party begins.

>>9746580
>Why would they waste their time going to a fake meetup to hopefully get picked by these self-appointed /cgl/ elders to join a real meetup when they can avoid all of that nonsense by just organizing their own?
Pretty sure this is the same person again but I'm just going to say, there is no such thing as the self-appointed /cgl/ elders, just circles of friends who cosplay and did a big group invite for a public meetup. Of course the real party starts after you trim the undesirables. Funny thing is this also goes for my local cosplay community. I've cosplayed for years and posted on my local cosplay groups, but it wasn't until I started participating and placing in contests that I got any recognition from the *ahem* local cosfamous people. Going to a meetup isn't going to land you in the inner circle of any group just by attending, you have to be accepted as well but it starts by meeting people.

>>9745365

why does it sound like you're talking about one specific person that pissed in your cheerios. who are you even describing. you're making sweeping generalizations and not even trying to empathize and it makes you look autistic.

it's obvious you've already convinced yourself that lolita=stuck up so whatever man.

>>9746871
I can only speak for me and the other anon I've spoken to, but we don't hate lolitas showing up to meet ups, but the meet ups we have are nothing like a tea party. We get hammered and party, yell about what material/technique is better, and who has the best costume.
When we have had lolitas show up, they tend to be more low key, or the one time it showed up dressed up, worried about their outfits.

I specifically never wear my nice cosplay to partys for a reason

>>9744916
>based on Acen
I've been going to Acen several years now. When was the last meet you attended, like 4+ years ago?

The worst of the meets are when anons refuse to organize prior to the con and then can't find each other or the meet spot to which someone has failed to find every single year. The best are when anons treat each other to drinks or share a meal.

>>9746525

I'm still wondering who this was

I only attempted to go to a con meetup once. I went to the place at the time, waited a few minutes, and then asked a girl there if she was there for the meetup. She wasn't and walked off, then I walked off to go home because it was late. They posted in the thread that they were late and I just missed them. Maybe this year I will go.

>>9745832
This sounds comfy

>>9748665
>do Canadian seagulls not all bring at least one bottle to a party?
Most do, but some don't. We're lucky in the sense that the past few AN meetups, we had a generous anon who hosted room parties share booze with everyone.

Nekko threw a wicked room party one time at APop where he literally filled a bathtub full of ice and booze and everyone helped themselves.

I usually bring something to mix drinks and share with everyone and people seem to enjoy what I have to offer. So I don't really mind bringing something to share, as it's a good ice breaker to meet and chat with new people.

>>9748665
So let's talk cons and room parties. While it's not really my scene, I'll hit up a few rooms if the people seem really cool. But lately I've noticed a lot more people who will try to crash room parties without even being attendees at the con. Of course the people who can't afford a badge for the con aren't going to be providing booze for even themselves, they're completely there to mooch. What other people's thoughts are on this behavior?

>>9750430
They had better be really fun if they're showing up to a party, didn't chip in for the room, and didn't bring booze. Otherwise we're not letting them in

Is it really bad to show up to a party without going to the con?
I really don't enjoy the cons, find them a huge waste of money, but love cosplayin and partis.
I do always bring booze or pizza or something though

>>9750528
People don't typically like lobyconners or ghosters or whatever you call them. Usually those people try to mooch off other people's parties, badges, and rooms

>>9748665
Most people do bring alcohol with them but I always like to be prepared just in case the party goes until sunrise. We had a last minute decision of going to my hotel room last year so I tried my best to host it but I ended up running out of beer so we ended it a bit earlier than normal which is a bad feeling for me. Also I make quite a bit of money and have no bills so dropping $300-$400 on alcohol doesn't bother me at all.

>>9750430
Anime North has quite a bit of lobbiers (myself included) but if you don't care about the dealers room or the "rave", then there is no point of buying a pass for it. A lot of us "attendees" just hang around the parking lot all day and then just party at the night which is all that AN has to offer anymore.

AN has a lot of people, you should be able to find something that suits you. There used to also be GTA meetups, I only went to one but it was a nice kbbq place and everyone was cool.

Sorry you weren't invited to Truffle-chan's party

Better luck next year getting out of the crowd that makes Canadian gulls look like shit.

Implying I care about anything other than booze...

>>9750528
It depends on who you ask. The biggest cost for any con is renting the venue. Without the venue, there's not going to be any con, any cosplayers or any room parties. Booking a hotel room does absolutely nothing for major cons as they don't see a penny of that money.

I can see the other side though. All a badge does is give you access to panels/dealer's room/AA/signings/events. Since I watch anime subbed, I have no interest in panels or signings of the NA dub voice actors. Because of the internet, I can find anything available in the dealer's room cheaper and Artist Alley have started pricing themselves higher than official goods. Seriously I am not going to pay more than I would for an official silk screen for your bootleg fanart of the flavor of the month IP that you don't even really care about. Then if I could get the party started rather than go to the concert/rave, why would I be buying a badge in the first place?

That's really getting off topic for this thread though. I was more refering to people who go to cons JUST to go to room parties, not to cosplay, not sneak into the rave. I feel it's become more prevalent because people started openly talking about doing it, which caused venues to crack down on it so now we see people getting caught for it much more often.

In the off chance this anon, or any other anon who fears the same thing, lurks... remember you do yourself no favors having animosity toward the popular people. Realized the one everyone talking to is likely throwing the parties and it's best to be friendly toward them. Be friendly and they'll invite you to parties. One may think their hatred is 'secret', but truth be told it shows.

>>9751100
nayrt I want to go to a cgl meet but I really don't want to hang out with >>9744985 this crowd...
I wanted to go to Truffle's party (lolita here) last year but I don't know anyone since I'm not from the area. It seems pretty exclusive.
Any tips? I don't want to spaghetti all over her. I never saw her namefag anymore after last year's AN threads so I don't even know if she still browses or if it's still a thing.

>tfw just want kawaii friends

>>9751109
I mean, honestly, if you see her idling just go talk to her. Get to the point. Just say, "Hey! I heard word of mouth you throw some parties. Can I come chill tonight after the con if I bring some snacks and supplies? I can give you my number to lemme' know where to go." She'll either say yes or no. Give her a contact and she'll either contact you or not. I mean, if you're dressed in lolita and cute, you kind of fit two things people might want at a party.

Best thing is don't come off as fake or linger around hanging out where you're unwanted, but she likely won't be offended if you get to the point and ask. I don't know the lady, but that's normally how you ask about parties without spilling the spaghetti.

>>9751049
>Truffle comes to the meet and asks me if I'm having a party
>She tells me to message her the room number when I get back
>Take forever with ever one at the bar
>She gets tired of waiting and does her own thing
Better luck next year at trying to make me feel bad over something that you don't even know what your talking about.

Also I'm pretty sure it's the drama filled cesspool that makes Canadian cgl I look like shit though.

>>9744916
Vocal shitposting is best shitposting.

>>9751114
does this strat work if I'm a man
asking for science

>>9751121
Con science or everyday science? Yes to both, and yes that showing animosity won't get you there. Again, it's going to help if you're wearing cosplay or some related fashion at a con, but just be nice, get to the point, offer to bring snacks and supplies, and don't linger around people like a lost puppy.

Also, keep your cool, if you're red in the face, shaking, and/or sweating when you ask, you're going to seem kind of weird. Worst that happens is they say no and you're in the same boat you were before so don't sweat it and get nervous. Stay cool.

>>9751121
And if they say no, just be like, "Ah, bummer. Just thought I'd ask." Don't get angry if they say no because they'll remember that more then the dude who takes it with a grain of salt.

>>9751116
>you don't even know what your talking about
Are you sure? Are you sure about that?
Because I know what she said at orchid, but I also know what I'm talking about.

>>9751147
Good for you

>>9751147
This is probably the kid who didn't get invited back nekkos party and posted the green text about him afterwards. I mean they seem to of been at the bar with us if they know what was said at orchid and only one person didn't go back to nekkos.

>>9751162
I wasn't at Orchid! Sorry to burst your bubble.

>>9751167
>I know what was said at orchid
>I wasn't at orchid
Is being this stupid the new meta for shit posting?

>>9751168
Sorry that talking to people and the transfer of information is a completely unfathomable idea to you.

There, there anon, you must be lonely.

>>9751174
So let me get this straight....
Nekko was hosting a party later on.
Truffle Chan asked to go to the party.
Truffle Chan ends up having her own party.
Party still goes on at nekkos
??????

Wait what was the original purpose of your post again?

I swear, I can't keep up with this new meta.

>>9751153
BASED

>>9751184
uhh naryt but truffle is fake & tries too hard to be nice so
there's the factor you're forgetting to consider

>>9751184
I can't believe you're actually asking me to spoonfeed you.
You ever tell someone you're down to hang with them even if you low key have better things to do? And then make up an excuse later?

>>9751198
And the fact that truffle Chan didn't come and had her own party is a bad thing why?

As >>9751195 said, she is fake so who even cares?

>>9751195
>>9751198
Hey like I said, she came up to me asking if I was having a party, I told her I would message her letting her know if I was and when I was. Other than that I really didn't care if she showed up or not.

Now can you go make a new containment thread so you can post all your salt and drama there instead of shitting up this thread?

>>9751195
Wait isn't Truffle a lolita?
What kind of lolita would she be if she wasn't plastic?

>>9751221

How does Nekko's dick taste? kek

>>9744905
Meetup themselves are kind of just eating dinner awkwardly trying to be friendly. It fine to just hang back untill your buzzed enough to try talking to others. Afterwards there's degenerate room parties with lots of booze and talk about anime and doujins, it's a great time.

>>9745634
It's worth attending. Some of the assholes are /pol/ tards but must are good guys to party with. You can enjoy others being drunk without being drunk yourself

>>9748665
Last year one anon brought a suit case full of crappy beer.

>>9751089
No, you're mistaken. That comment was taken out of context out of a running gag from the meetup and previous threads, where everyone was idolizing and praising truffle-chan for bringing truffles to share and calling her a "goddess". One anon even saved one of her wrappers that she used for her truffles, lol.

>>9748665
>bring snacks or 2 bottles of booze and mixers
I like that idea, I'm going to follow that rule myself at this year's cons.
