Y'know when you meet that person who likes the same stuff as you, but they give you so much second hand embarrassment, you pretend to be a "baka gaijin" so they won't leech onto you?
let's talk about that

>volunteers at local lgbtq organization
>preparing for art show
>do weeks of physical work preparing
>day comes to actually start doing art
>we're doing paintings that involve queer/lgbtq representation
>girl who hadn't been to any of the volunteer days before shows up so she can have her art put up in the exhibit
>introduces herself as Hanji
>her preferred pronouns are "anime pronouns"?????
>dressed in cheap ebay AOT cosplay, frizzy hair pulled into bad ponytail, 200 pound hambeast
>draws her OC's and says they represent the queer community because she ships them together
>the entire time, she kept saying "I SOLD MY SOUL TO HUSSY" "THERE ARE LIKE NOOOO OTHER HOMESTUCKS IN (state we live in) EXCEPT ME"
>be me again
>pretends to not know shit about anime or homestuck
>doesn't have the heart to tell her that there are homestuck meetups like every other week, no one has just ever invited her to one

that was the only time she came
a few weeks before her though, there was a fat girl who called herself Usagi who ditched her parenting class to sleep through a meeting

There's this thing called a wardrobe. If someone chooses such attire as their default look, its what they like. They buy those things because they like how they look. You're seriously some special kind of retarded if you think that this is how clothing preferences work. Do you also assume that everyone wears jeans for the affections of others?

Does anyone else have this problem that fans in the fandom deny something that's canon because it's too gay, ambiguous or against their moral values? Or their pairing of choice? I understand if it from shipping goggles or some stupid shit but deny something that's canon....

Is that just a Persona thing? Because all the smt fans I've met are gay as fuck, and their ships reflect that.

I actually see more people in fandoms complaining about 'queerbaiting,' because waah, they're just afraid to have canonically gay characters, and not, y'know, just showing a platonic broship.

I'm not really sure but it seems to be that fans in fandoms are either afraid of queerbaiting or pathetic fujoshi having shipping goggles on. I usually don't even bring up certain things in conversation because I have no idea how the person will react.

It's ironic because they don't do this with the girl on girl stuff.

I think Persona is worse than SMT due to the fact that it's popular and how one character went from being slightly homosexual to interrupt homophobic.

Seriously, the weeb ratio is so much higher it's not even funny. Thankfully everyone is mostly too afraid of sexual harassment suits to talk about hentai, but the autism is so damn high. I'll be even flat out say "I'm one of those people who like their space" if someone wants to get in my face or hug me because "omg lolita!" And they don't get it. I also get suggested "sexy cosplays" because someone found out I used to cosplay. I have so much second hand embarrassment from them that every time I see one of those "it's not science fiction" commercials I can't help but think of a bunch of guys in the shitty sheds you live in overseas watching hentai on a 60 inch tv.

Kid was fucking stupid. You could tell alot of it was because he was sheltered but he also had this level of arrogance about him that made you want to punch him so bad his ancestors felt it. I give people the benefit of the doubt and its extremely difficult when they just dont get it.Oh and pardon my english up there. I didnt cause people to quit, he did. No one else wanted to argue with his 'logic'. I could always shut him down. He tried to argue with me that "Ribs don't bruise, they're bone'. I had to pull up a webmd to get him stfu.

Basically, the boy ain't right.

He's a full blown autistic lech who will constantly harass anything remotely female at cons. He was loud discussions with himself and is the prime example of weebs running around shouting random anime and Sonic quotes.

I did that with some friends too. We all had weaby fucking nicknames of ___-chan and wrote bad fanfics and even worse Japanese notes to one another.

what >>7941199 said
there are tons of badly behaved girls and guys at cons. The only reason we hear more about creepy guys is because the majority of this board is girls (generally pretty average looking as well) and they are a magnet for awkward straight dudes at cons.

same reason why so many of the creepy girl con stories involve crossplayers or average dudes. Nerds seem to think of con as like pussy heaven or some shit. Way fucked up tbh.

It depends on the conventions you go to sometimes I think. Some just have awful behaviour ingrained into them like Anime League conventions in the UK. Liam is (or atleast used to be) allowed on the staff and Mike Towers, the King Creeper who runs the con can usually be found trying to force 15 years old girls into a corner to make out with him so you can't expect any better behaviour from the attendees when the staff are acting that fucking awfully.

Unfortunately, nothing too crayzay or outrageous. I knew a group of weebs in high school who are now loser weebs in community college, despite it being like three or four years later. They're all unfortunate looking and demonize others by referring to them as 'otaku' or 'fangirls', without realizing that they haven't actually matured since they were fourteen years old. They formed an anime club at that college and my friend peeked into the room one day. It was just a dark classroom with some of them watching Totoro, while a few were doing the carameldansen in the back of the room to music that wasn't even playing. The most unfortunate looking of them all, who appears 10 years old yet isn't, would wear her Vocaloid cosplay to the college on occasion as normal attire. It's whatever the fuck the red one is, I don't do Vocaloid. They also tried to get a con of their own hosted by them on the campus itself, but nothing official ever became of it and it was just them showing up in costume while everyone else stared as if they missed the memo that Halloween was over. One of them is trying to get cosfamous and failing miserably at it. There were two lesbians and both were just royal cunts all throughout high school. The one bore a grudge against me because I confided in a friend that I was Bi, because she thought I "chased guys not girls". Well, motherfucker, what exactly do you expect me to date in our high school? Because nobody here is that good looking and I wasn't going to run down the halls, screaming I liked poon and worsen any bullying. That doesn't automatically mean my sexuality is falsified, cunt. This one had a massive thing for Evanescence, 'Memoirs of a Geisha', and anything Japanese. Pulled my hair once in art because I said I didn't care for Street Fighter, almost knocking me off of my stool chair. This one wound up going on to date a girl who literally looks like a carbon copy of herself, but with the bulldyke haircut.

They were completely normal people, and this was a top PvE guild, so there was constant douchery all around. They weren't unstable.

You couldn't tell unless they told you, though one of them got abnormally excited over anything involving animals (I think she actually quit raiding to work at Sea World).

Do they keep talking to you when you tell them to fuck off?
Do they refer to you as the object of their fetish or say that you should dress as said object?
Are they wearing some shittily constructed costume related to said fetish?
Do they follow you despite your obvious disinterest?
Do they tell you about their fetishes unprompted after only a few minutes of conversation?
Do insist on knowing your personal information?
Do they invite you to their room and not take no for an answer?

So I used to go on dating sites and laugh at really bad profiles, guilty pleasure and all. If dudes see I'm reading it and message me, sometimes I'll keep it going for a bit to see if any hilarity happens. Had a conversation with this one dude, who we can call Fraggle. He literally looked like Mokey Fraggle discovered Hot Topic. The conversation went on to his hobbies, which he gave as "being a living kawaii gosurori doll boy". He proceeded to tell me about how all gosuroris have a "spirit doll" called a bjd that wears matching dresses and has its own special soul from the hopes and dreams of its owner, and they all try their hardest to emulate their spirit doll and be perfect and kawaii at all times. He even had pictures of his own spirit doll, which were actually stolen off some poor soul's Flickr account. It was all well and good until a few days later when I was at work. See, I used to use that dating profile for actual dating, so it had a picture of myself on it that I neglected to remove. And the way I found Fraggle's profile was by combing through local singles. And I worked at fucking Spencer Gifts, so of course such a unique sparkling individual was going to at some point cross our door. Every time he spotted me, he would follow me around the store pointing out particularly "rori" things in stock, babbling about his noble quest to be kawaii, or on a few occasions even bringing in his specially customized spirit doll (a very badly painted Monster High doll rolled in cheap lace). My manager personally found it hilarious and he wasn't actually impeding my ability to work, so I wasn't allowed to tell him to fuck off or kick him out (that would be ~not party-tastic~ by the Spencers rule book). Plus he could pretty easily be talked into buying shit if it was kawaii enough. This happened at least once a week for fucking months, when I switched to a non-retail job and specifically refused to let anyone there know where I was going to.

Yeah, the world is full of obnoxious people - adding to their number is not necessary. They think you're cool, and you gotta go out of your way to be a cunt.

Then say that you actually just like Lolita fashion and don't really follow anime anymore. Then just disengage like a well adjusted human being and just say that you're busy and can't hang out with them.

You know that asshole girl that always have in those teenie bopper chick flicks that disses the "plain"/"simple"/naive main character because "Like OMG could you BELIEVE that she just walked up to me like that? Dohohohoho so, SO sad..."

Seriously, quit wearing your lolita and cosplay shit out in public and expecting good results. It doesn't make you cool, it's not fashionable and no one gives a shit about your uber unique taste.
