If you want to see what the community is like, try actually attending a con? Cosplay and talk to people? Jumping straight to running a discord server when you have no experience in the hobby is like someone starting an anime club when they don't watch anime because they want to learn more about anime.

Hello, Ozeu. Tohno is a disgusting communist and ultra-misogynist yet he is still able to get laid by high school-aged girls. It's pretty pathetic that he can't interact with girls his own age, but I guess high school girls don't mind thirsty retards.

Tohno is literally the embodiment of this picture. He owns an imageboard (hint: he named it after himself) that has been infamous for years. The users are all sad fucks like him. They like to prey on women. Why can he get a girl but you can't?

I really want to go to a con again, last time was AFO 2016, super experienced first timer. I had 0 money and some cheap cosplays i threw together and overall, i felt unwelcome. is this because i had 0 friends with me?? how do i feel more comfortable at conventions here in florida, what is the most comfortable (with a lot of stuff to do without being in a giant fandom) convention here??
i really struggle to find a con that actually has something interesting to do anymore.

Whether you have fun or not by yourself depends on the person, tbf. I went to Holmat and AFO alone last year and had a great time. Got to go to whatever panels I wanted to whenever and could actually take my time in the AA/Dealer's room, didn't have to babysit drunk idiots the whole weekend. It was nice.

>>10225562
Cosplaying popular fandoms is a quick way to make fast friends, but even in those you get ditched unless your cosplay stands out. My advice is to plan ahead, look at panels you want to go to and make the time to go and fully immerse yourself.

Agreed. Although I've gone to several cons with "friends" and ditched them because they're boring and rather stare and talk shit about people. On top of that every con has the same vendors and artists selling the same shit. I fucking hate every event, it's so tiresome and it makes me mad. It's a cookie cutter money trap.

Alex saying that "Man" in "Man vs Machines" sounded too gendered is the cringiest shit I've ever seen a con owner say.

It topped my cringe-meter more than an invited cosplay guest at another convention say "I'm not really into anime" while dressed as an anime character at their closing ceremonies.

Alex is the last of the toxic old-guard that needs to go. He's tying so hard to bury his past and act like he's some kind of paragon of wokeness and morality. Not fooling anyone, faggot.

>> No.10232207

Alex is trying to deflect attention away from the fact that they forced his partner, Nick, out of the con and out of the business. He wants to blame Nick for the sex and drinking parties that are a large part of the con's bad reputation. Alex wants everyone to forget the fact that even if he wasn't participating in them (which he usually was) that he knew about them and turned a blind eye. The truth is that he's no better than Nick and is desperate to hide that fact.

Just got back home from AFO.
For the first time in years iv'e just outright left early and genuinely felt like I shouldn't have gone.
From the occasional Tumblr/SJW feeling virtue Signal Panels to THE SAME FAT FUCK ASSHOLE MANGA BOOTH GUY to the cringy cancer and honestly just low energy feeling.

And another thing that bothered me is that two people I follow said they didn't even get a reply back about a dealer booth and they sell Gundam Kits/Toku stuff like Kamen Rider/Super Sentai and once again there was like ZERO Toku stuff in the Vendor Room but the same like 6 people there from every single year with the same shit. .

I mean, it wasn’t as espectacular as other maid cafes. I was feeling rather lonely so I went inside to chat it up with one of the maids. 10$ to get in, you have small selection of brownies, cookies, tea, and lemonade. The maids themselves are trying to be more like the Japanese maids, you request them to draw something on a plate and they use chocolate syrup to make cute art on the plate. The reason why there was a lot of people is because they never experienced a maid cafe in their life.
