I hate people who whine about that. You're not a dog on a leash. Go do whatever you want. You paid to be here so get your money's worth.

Also, same friend

>That one guy that whines about the group not liking what he likes and tries to shove it down the group's throat. Later, he whines that he doesn't like what the group likes and adds stupid commentary to the group's conversation. Then he tries to piggyback off of what the group likes and becomes one of those "fake fans" because he doesn't want to feel alone.

Ok so you like FMA and Doctor Who and don't like Madoka Magica and Mass Effect. Congratulations buddy. You like/dislike something.

Trufax so I'm cosplaying Soarin from MLP (which really means I was inviting this sort of thing, I know) and I see Tara Strong randomly walking around, go up and talk to her, get a picture, she leaves, talking to friends bout how that was pretty cool, then some girl I've never met before in a Dash shirt comes out of nowhere singsonging "SOMEONE'S A HAPPY POOOOOOOOOOOOOO~NNYYYYYYY" and I'm just thinking...

Those people make things so awkward. I've cosplayed Rose LaLonde from Homestuck (dropped that cosplay after 1 con) and Nurse Joy. I was sitting with my friends as Rose (I also had an Egbert with me) eating lunch when this group of trolls came up to me and my Egbert and started poking us and demanded we put some of our lunch into their buckets. They tried to hug us in mid-chew as well despite my group and I telling them to leave us alone so we could eat our meal in peace. When I was Nurse Joy, I got a lot of people running up to me yelling "HELLO NURSE~" or shoving their Pokemon plushies at me demanding I heal them.

I might like something but that doesn't mean I will stoop to every little thing.

This shit. If you don't like something ignore it or just move along. I can understand venting but don't stand there in front of your friends who are enjoying themselves and tell them that whatever it is they like sucks. You're an ass.

I've got one friend who can barely go to cons because of her work and this one jerk who came along just ruined her entire weekend just because she liked KH.

Details? To ruin someone's entire weekend, he must have been pretty damn shitty to her.

Those types are so fucking annoying. Last con I was at, there were these guys we were hanging out with who kept bitching about pretty much any anime with a large fanbase and going on about how they didn't get how they could be so popular. Finally, when they started going off about Madoka, I asked them if they even watched it and only one of them had and they only saw the first two episodes.

Did you ask if he even played KH ever? Because I am seriously failing to see how the fuck it's shallow. Girly as fuck, yes, but shallow? No.

It was ACEN 2007...or '08? Something like that. Anyways, it was my first con, and I wanted to go 'cause it seemed like it would be fun and all. I forget why, but for some reason, I had the idea in my head that I'd meet a cute girl while at the con.
Ended up not even caring about finding a qt3.14 by the end of the weekend. Loved the con from the moment we got to the waiting line outside on Friday afternoon. It's what got me so interested in cosplay after all. I took pictures of everyone like some dumbstruck idiot. Ah, the memories.

I'm pretty sure it would have been cheaper to make the cosplay than buy a new (as opposed to used) system and a new game. They already had the wig and everything too.

>That guy who is... I don't even know what this is.

I was at Anime Day Orlando yesterday. There were some people watching the new Smash Bros. trailer on a phone, and one of them was super excitedly narrating the whole thing. It seemed like he mostly wanted others to hear his commentary, or to be the center of attention, and others being entertained by it was secondary. He was completely unable to sense the social atmosphere, and wrapped up in his own world where people genuinely wanted to hear his play-by-play more than the trailer's audio. He was a meat tank with long hair and a fedora, which may or may not be relevant. I was passing by during the Mega Man reveal segment.

>AND THEY'RE LIKE "HA, WE GOT HIM." FUCKIN' DONKEY KONG.

I remember somebody that I used to know was crazy paranoid that her on-again, off-again boyfriend was cheating on her, and asked me to drive her past his apartment to make sure he was home. At 2 am in the morning.

She also wanted to see if he really cared about her. Her cunning plan was to have me call him and tell him that she she had been hurt in a accident and was bleeding really badly. From playing DDR.

She also had nudes of him that she took while he was sleeping, and told me about her plans to plaster them all around his school, home, and workplace if she ever caught him cheating.
