Last thread is kill

Okay, so con season is about half over. We've got AniRevo and Otakuthon next, then there's AnimeThon and this Kimi-con thing that's in its first year (and seems to be about Sakimichan the artist???), and FanEx.

Who's doing what and when?

I'm curious about kimi-kon aswell, it's at the Enercare Centre which is a big place to be holding a first year con. $60 is steep for weekend admission too.

I'm skipping it. The Enercare centre is way too big for a first year, no-name con, and I can't see it being anything more than a glorified Unplugged or Stage Select.

Basically it's a cash grab con.

just further proof that the 'prestige' of 'winning' the masquerade is .... just blah. are the rewards even worth it / a big deal? it doesn't seem so from an outside perspective
honestly, i wish the masquerade format could change. i'd probably much prefer the japanese style of just having a sprawling cosplay area instead of seeing it from really far away on a stage and feeling tempted to just watch the monitors. do japanese cons even have masquerades or anything like that? it seemingly occupies a huge portion of the cosplayers day, too tucked away in a green room, etc.
growing up i thought a masquerade was a party, not a presentation to be watched.
why can't they just call it the pageant or something?

>> No.9966121

>>9966053
Masquerade refers to a masked party historically. The term was taken by a Japanese man and applied to cosplay. Seeing as the world cosplay competition finale is in Japan, I would say that they do have on-stage costume competition. Also we have a sprawling cosplay area too, i.e. the hall at the bottom of the escalators. It's really similar to Comiket's cosplay area except for that fact that 1. no changing room at the con and 2. less crowd-control.

Regularfag here, I don't really come on 4chan much anymore.

I just came back because I was curious about this too. I'm newly single again and with FanExpo coming up, I figured it would be a good opportunity to meet girls.

People in Toronto though generally are reserved, places like Montreal and Edmonton I can get laid no problem. Although I avoid the latter because it's Edmonton lmao. But in all seriousness, I wonder this too.

I can't imagine any girl that's "DTF" being anything but less than double my weight (5'11" 150lbs) or severely autistic to the point that all beauty is forsaken. Or as you said lesbian, engaged, hardcore dyke, or not hygeneic.

Do normies who dip their toes in vidya even attend these events? I went to a lesser known event last year, and I remember being bewildered at the amount of overweight nerds playing in Smash Bros tournaments on old CRTs. It was like a middle school lunch room with a whole slew of people sitting just hunched over. Made me bust a good laugh.

Animethon was fun, actually. Really loved the new venue, and a lot of the events they had set up. Fantastic gaming hall with loads of options and space too.

The Festival Games were a neat addition, but I think they should have had better prizes on the whole. Some of the hosts were entertaining though, like the fat dude who would shake the bell around and holler, and the persona 5 guy doing some kind of shoutcast of the fishing game.

Panels were lacking on the whole, kind of boring for the most part, a lot of them felt like they just shat something out for the free pass, but most stuff the actual staff did was great. Besides the closing ceremony, oh my god, that was so awkward.

You just have to go and talk to a lot of people until you find someone that is single there. I would say 4/10 females I talk to at Animethon are single.

My only advice is to not act like a total fucking weeb there and talk to a lot of females. Try to be interesting and not weird at the same time. Also let them know you want to be friends because otherwise they'll just think you're a creep for talking to them. Most females won't be interested but there's always a few that are. Once you're "friends", it's almost a guarantee that they are down to fuck you if they're single.

The situation is different. Photography usually requires closed quarters and most con photographers don't have a staff, so it's usually just you and them. That gives potential creepers plenty of opportunities to be actual creepers.

Are all dudes creepers? OFC not. But there's a garbage amount that are, and you lower your risks by shooting with a female photog instead who's just there for the money and not trying to grab your tits.

You can certainly be sexist towards men, but generally about restricted topics. A lot of women (and men) don't believe men can be raped (they can) and are also super shitty towards trans men, effeminate men, gay men, etc.

"Prejudice plus power" is the made-up qualifier for racism, not sexism.
Besides even if you don't define sexual discrimination/prejudice as 'sexism' discrimination and prejudice are just *clapping emoji* as *clapping emoji* bad *clapping emoji*

Not that it matters because that definition isn't valid or real anyway. (It's a bullying tactic)
You absolutely can be sexist towards men. You can be racist towards white people.

Or maybe you are a female photographer who isn't getting anywhere near as many hits as the big male ones and want to grab as many customers as you can be telling people not to go to them even with friends around. See? I can do the same and no, i'm only a cosplayer, not a photographer.

As someone who's been assaulted by a photographer before even having brought friends, this doesn't work. Some creeps are just creeps, and will touch you without consent anyway, then brush it off as "just a joke".

Sorry not sorry, if you touch my tits without my consent, you're committing sexual assault.

can we stop erasing victims of female-on-female sexual violence? it absolutely does exist. it's even easier for the perpetrators to wave it away as just a joke or even normal behaviour between women. by legitimizing their non-existence as a valid perspective you're targeting the victims and inciting a culture of violence to continue against them. you need to stop, because your arguments are bordering on hateful levels if they aren't already there.

Okay, so

1. Female on female violence in the photography community is relatively unheard of. It does exist, but the ratio of assault by male photogs vs female is massive, to the point you could say it's not a problem.

There is definitely evidence for it in the cosplay community, but generally from other cosplayers like Momokun.

No one is saying there's a ZERO percent chance a female photog will be inappropriate, but you have a waaaay lower chance of them being creepers vs male photogs.

Whoever made that post was willing to exaggerate to try and make their point. When they say "no risk" they are either misinformed, hateful, or lying(exaggerating).

There's a lot of arguing about male photographers being predators here but based on MY personal experience I can say I do agree and disagree.

I'm a male and I started photography as hobby but eventually started doing a lot of professional photoshoots for females. For the most part I did it because it gave me a thrill and a sense of power over them knowing their private photos were in my posession. I considered black mailing a few of my clients for sexual favors but I ultimately never did anything crazy with them besides occasionally jerking off to them or sharing the photos with a few friends. However, after a while the thrill of it starts to wear off and now I'm solely doing photography for the money and passion.

So yes, they are not wrong when they say male photographers are predatorial but most males will never act on it.

Lookin like Unplugged 2.0 which at one point I saw being nicknamed 'photoshoot con' ... not a good thing to be known for.
That's the only reason I can even conceive of going... to take pictures.
Unfortunately I almost guarantee most of the cosplayers (of the few that go) will likely be the youngest people in the community. Think the people that go to events like Anime Shogatsu and the cosplay picnics as compared to the varied crowd you see that is sourced from all over Ontario at Fan Ex or AN.

It's also 1 week before EGLX - which actually has improved a lot over the years.

I would not be surprised if the person who made this post works for Kimikon considering I've seen this post happen at least 3 times already in the /cgl/ Canada threads over the summer.
>Kimikon seems like its gonna be the next big con

This isn't a quirky lil' Forest City Comic-Con that's serving an under represented market literally hours away from the GTA.

Okay to be fair, Unplugged actually had some things going for it. It got decent guests for some time from the Sailor Moon cast to JYB, had some more interesting panels, and nowhere near as pricey. All I see with Kimikon is just cosplay guest after cosplay guest and Sakimichan which sadly is looking like the best thing about the con.

It's not a "changing" room, but these toilets are usually free, and enormous, at the Otakuthon.

Basically once you take the escalators to go from the cosplay area to where the panels are, go left, there will be stairs leading to an area just below it

You may call it "hateful prejudice" but it's perfectly sound.
Every creep photographer that has been exposed is a man. Logically, you would avoid male photographers, because they will creep on you. It just makes sense.
Meanwhile, no female photographers have been outed as creeps. Are there creepy female photographers? Sure, but we don't know any, and even if we did, their numbers would never match the male ones.

Are you going to claim that they’re not? Like if you picked a random person from the Native American population, there is a higher chance that the person has addiction issues than if you picked from the Italian population.

It would be more correct to say that low-income and racially oppressed populations are more likely to contain criminal elements as a consequence of social disadvantage.

When you say something as dumb and simple as "Black people are more likely to be criminals", you not only gloss over the major nuances of the situation (and remove important information), you also feed into the wrongheaded notions that racism is justified because a social quality must be inherent to someone's genetics when it isn't.

Further, statistics don't exist in a vacuum. Are "black people" inclusive of wealthy black Canadians and Americans? Are they inclusive of new immigrants? Of immigrants from wealthier backgrounds? Etc.

If all you're posting is a single statistic without nuance to somehow blame a racial demographic for something, you're still being racist.

I find Forest City to be better than London Comicon as well, the venue and atmosphere were certainly nicer. But it was a little dead this year and some of the masquerade prizes were kinda meh. I still wouldn't bother with London Comicon tho. At least FCCC is downtown so you can bail and go to the museum or the couple nice ramen and/or sushi restaurants we have. LCC is EOA aka in the fucking ghetto at a fairgrounds that's also surrounded by missions and soup kitchens with only a smattering of nice stores if you feel like walking six blocks, or an overpriced indoor adventure park going the other direction.

I thought the MTCC had some sort of exclusivity deal with fanexpo/DTAC? It's a prime location for a big con but neither Anime North or Kimikon were held there, but were held in similarly sized buildings, Fanexpo & DTAC are the only two cons held at MTCC. It's weird that a first year con not associated with the two is being held there.

>> No.10028017

>>10027661
Doubt they've got exclusivity. EGLX was at MTCC just a few weeks ago. It's likely just expensive. This company likely assumes that even with a potential loss in the first year(s) that having it in a Real Location is their best chance to suceed in the long term. It's hard to imagine it picking up steam when it's sandwiched inbetween MTAC and Anime North... but good luck to them.

>> No.10028426

>>10028017
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. That's a very risky move to make regardless, Holding new and unknown conventions in expensive venues a la kimikon often doesn't go well, and being in between MTAC and Anime North makes it worse.

I also didn't see them advertising at MTAC, Anime North or fanexpo. I feel like advertising at Youmacon wouldn't do much because I doubt too many people would drive from Detroit to Toronto for a first year con.

I'm glad that more people are trying to run cons in Ontario but I wish that they would start smaller and grow each year instead of trying to be the next anime north right away.
