I think lolitas who say stupid shit like
>"I don't wanna be caught dead with a goth, sweet, classic, etc. lolita because I hate their style!"
are extremely trashy individuals. Thing is, they thing irl they're being really subtle but it's pretty obvious when they're shunning the majority of the comm because they don't like most of the styles so they fancy themselves ~*~superior~*~
When in reality every single normie thinks we're being tacky dolls or are Bo Peep in a play unless they happen to like lolita no matter what substyle.

Fucking get over yourselves. I don't like OTT classic but you won't see me curling up my lips and being impolite just because someone else happens to like it. Lolita is turning more and more into a cliquey costume party.

Anon you speak the most sense on this board. There's a trend of gulls shitting on OTT and sweet as a costume, when honestly they look just as bad in the eyes of normies, as well as being judgemental pricks on top of that. At least sweet lolitas are cute af, which can't be said for the OTT-hating gulls.

I don't understand the mentality of people who feel like they need to pigeon hole themselves into one style. Like I get it you like Gothic but why only wear Gothic? For me I still have a rather small wardrobe (I have one sweet Coord, and two Classic Coords) and I want a little bit of everything.

That's kind of like saying "Why don't you like all subgenres of pop music? Why limit yourself to jpop when you could be listening to Britney Spears, Social Distortion and Shania Twain?" Different people like all/some/one genres of pop and the same goes for everything with subcategories.

As a plus-sized cosplayer myself, I seriously hate how much ass-patting goes on in the plus size community. Like everyone is afraid of giving concrit because they're scared of hurting someone's precious feelings.

Like maybe it's because I want to gitgud and have really good cosplays (that fit or are tailored to my body type) because I've constantly been picked on because of my weight.

I just don't understand how someone can wear something equivalent to an oversized trashbag and still be called "flawless" and "perfect" in regards to a character. Shit sucks. Deal with it.

I absolutely loathe that shit. Once I hunted down a direct phone number and went from there with the manager. It was like the 10th time it happened, so I was very obviously aggitated sounding on the phone, but kept decent and stern as much as I wanted to yell and throw profanities.
Hasn't happened again since, but I wonder if that's why phone numbers at most post offices don't work anymore, they don't want calls about their incompetence? I'm sure they'll wait you out in person too.

It's better to just get a mail center or PO Box something like that. Your package is taken care of, locked up, and signed for. No more hassle. Worth the monthly fee.

HAHAHAHAHA you motherfuckers are delusional as fuck if you think normies look at someone in simple classic and think they look just as weird as an OTT sweet lolita in a giant pink wig with a unicorn puke printed dress from AP

All my friends are normies, I should know. I've often been scrolling through my dash on tumblr with friends around, they see a post with OTT sweet lolitas and remark to me "Holy shit anon, I like your big dresses but I wouldn't want to go out with you if you wore shit like that"

It really depends on the normie. I wear classic and I've gotten ranged from people complementing my outfit, to people asking stuff like if I'm wearing some traditional outfit, to completely freaked out like I grew an extra head.

Some people freak out when you wear something just slightly out of the ordinary. Even toned down lolita will cause some people to flip their shit.

Where do you live? Like I've worn lolita for 5 years and I've never gotten anything but compliments and a few creeps who either wanted my picture or wanted to take a picture with me. Literally the one and only time I've had a negative reaction was when some teenage cunts with fake tans and bleached blonde hair pointed at me and laughed (I pointed back and laughed and so did my dude friends who were with me, the bitches looked pissed and mildly embarrassed).

I actually find it hard to believe some of the outlandish tales of negative lolita reactions. I always think that maybe it's because people wear particularly crazy styles and I wear simple shit.

I can get this very much, but I also hate the opposite. If the worst thing about someone's cosplay/coord is that they're fat, that doesn't make it inherently bad. If the actual costume/coord is shit, go for it, rip into them, give concrit like anon says, ass-patting is just stupid as hell, but if you're tearing someone apart who genuinely has a good costume/coord just because they're fat, move on with your life.

Same, where do you live btw?

I'm from Oireland, studying in Northern Europe atm. Most students here are either locals or Slavs and their English is okay but they refuse to talk to me and just speak amongst each other in their respective native tongue all the time despite this being an English school. Even some of the native teachers switch to their native tongue in the middle of the lesson and expect everyone to follow, the only reason they don't is because of the Russians and other Slavic potpourri. Then they act surprised when I don't show up to events or talk to any of them when they look to be in physical pain every time I try to talk to any of them.

I do study the language but it's fucking hard and I've only been here a short while. If I am active in class they bitch because I'm a native and that's cheating. If I'm not then the class is silent and there's no-one to keep the discussion going they bitch because I seem to have become the designated nerd who does their homework for them. Some of these kids couldn't even find the UK on a map, Jesus fucking Christ I can't wait to go home.

Oh and I speak in a slightly posh Dublin accent so everyone keeps mistaking me for a rich(??) American, and the one American lecturer here keeps bullying me.

I cut all ties with them, I was basically done anyway and my teacher was very understanding (I think she felt guilty since she was the one to set me up with that place to begin with). I'm sorry you have to do 250 more hours, I don't think I could have handled that. If you can't change workplace somehow, try to remember that they are the assholes and after you are done you hopefully never have to deal with them again...

Not where I live. A basic classic coord is just looked on as retro/vintage wear and there are crazier outfits seen, punks, goths etc. OTT sweet lolita ie adult women wearing big pastel twintail wigs and pink frilly dresses covered in cutesy childish prints and accessories, will look like ageplay craziness to most normalfags in comparison. Strongly depends on the wearer; I have a friend who wears sweet lolita (albeit not ott) who has a round young looking face and is short, she usually gets favourable reactions from regular folk because her physical attributes leads an overall endearing effect. It's really awkward looking though if the woman in question is big, broad, overweight, has a long face,a mature/soccer mum face and is dressed that way especially to normies. Pic related.

Wow, shit, that's almost exactly the same as me. I'm in South East Asia, but the shit about the lecturers and local students definitely works here. Even at work, the native speakers get training and I just get ignored even if I'm right next to them. Then they expect me to have known what they were talking about even though they know full well I don't speak the language. And back at school the lecturers always break into the native language to explain things to the native students, even though all classes are supposed to be in English.Then during the exams I can hear the profs telling the natives how to do the question in the language, but when I ask in English it's just "idk read the question again".

For one, that won't happen when she's blocked. And secondly, you hold a low enough opinion of 'whore5000' as is, so I don't see how her throwing a tantrum around should affect you at all.

They are not mean or anything, its that the head organizer and their nine close friends are together, they tend to ignore everyone else.
On their page they post "everyone is welcomed!" yet they only take photos of themselves and talk about thing that has happened to them.

I hate to be the one to say it, even though others have said it, but I don't think women are just sending him nudes from him being a nice guy. There's something you might be missing here, or something he isn't showing fully. I'm not saying he's cheating on you or anything but I do find it a bit odd that it's:

I'm not that surprised girls would send nudes. How many girls get unwarranted dick pics just for being vaguely polite to dudes? Also I think if he's being so open about it to OP then there's probably nothing going on.

However, why he doesn't just block them I don't know, but then again I struggle to delete post-con creepers because it feels rude. Or don't add people online he doesn't know personally. That's just a normal rule.

I don't know any girls, not even slutty ones, who send nudes unprovoked if a guy hasn't even remotely expressed an interest in them. Maybe anon's husband comes off as a flirt, or makes himself too available for them, or complains about his relationship behind anon's back to them.

You're right about the blocking thing though. All of this would be avoided if he would stop talking to them after the first sign of disrespect.

Holy shit, why are people unable to believe you and/or telling you that it's your husband's fault?

I swear to god, why is it so hard to believe that women are sluts but nobody has any trouble thinking guys are whores?

Maybe I've had bad experiences, but women can be trifling little hoes, especially when it comes to marriages/LTRs. So many girls relish the idea of being able to have an affair with a married man, or a man in a committed relationship, because in their twisted minds it means they're more attractive/better than the man's partner.

I'm sorry you've had that experience, anon. It happened to my bf, too, believe it or not. He actually told me and showed me the conversation - I was pretty pleased that he responded to her nudes by saying "If you're going to send nudes to random dudes get a boob job because your tits are disgusting you filthy whore" and promptly blocked her.

I can't tell my family how much I spend on lolita and hobbies for this same reason, ugh. My whole family has a tendency to sperg out at 'too expensive!!!1' things, loudly. My dad sometimes brings up the price of a super cheap JSK I bought on ebay in my early days of lolita at the weirdest times, once we were at the supermarket and he just turned to me with a pack of bread in his hands and all but yelled 'If you hadn't bought that dolly dress we could have bought this!' about six months after I'd bought the JSK with my own money. It cost me £50. The bread was less than bus fare. FFS. He's done this in cafes and other public places too. I have no idea if he's trying to make me repent for my sins or if he's trying to tell me that I should wear food as clothes.
If your friend needs smelling salts whenever you splurge on decadent clothes at H&M, try sperging out when she's buying her transparent clothing at Walmart, and tell her that it's all made by slave babies in China, how could you be so heartless, or some shit. If she can embarass you in public, she can take it when it's her turn.

From now on, all lolita should be measured in terms of bread. Current going price for 1 JSK is 600 loaves.
I'm laughing pretty hard right now. Seriously though are your parents actually going without food to support your lolita habit or what?

I pay for all my stuff with my own money, and even help my parents and family out when they need some cash. I am absolutely not cutting into the bread budget. My dad just has a particularly hard time imagining why anyone would spend over £25 on any item of clothing, shoes included. He's the sort to get personally offended when he sees food that's priced above his maximum limit. The rest of the family's not much better.

yes this!!! she's definitely bought things from Walmart that are more expensive than things I've gotten at H&M or Taobao. The price to quality ration for H&M and certain Taobao stores is far superior to Walmart too. A H&M blazer that cost me $40 has lasted me 2 years so far whereas a Walmart blazer looks disgusting and would probably fall apart in 6 months.

Being in a similar situation myself, anon, I understand this fully. I'm not sure what has lead the other gulls to come to a different conclusion. I am slightly confused.

this particular situation aside, I don't think ANY girl would just up and send guys pictures of her tits unless she somehow got the green light to do it, explicitly or not.

Plus, I've seen way too many guys become pussies at even the slightest hint of a promise of tits, to a point where they'll play nice with an obvious thundercunt way, way past their SO's comfort zone, usually excusing it with something retarded like 'we were just talking'.

I'm freaking out, I keep taking on more and more responsibilities.
But I'm so lazy and I can't cope with any of them. any time I put aside to do things I just open up cgl and refresh the page after I've read even the threads that don't interest me. Or I go to sleep or something.

I'm a shit person and I don't deserve anything that's given to me, I just waste it all.

You sound like such an uppity bitch. Get off your high horse about your perfect marriage and realize that all might not be well because your husband is getting nudes sent to him. End of story. That's not normal in a "100% honest and truly open" marriage.

Thus the issue then becomes your husband not giving out his number or social media contacts to convention girls. In fact, since you seem 100% bothered by the notion that there may exist crazy girls who would unconditionally send nudes (not denying this), then maybe it's best for husband to stay home if he can't be straightforward and not make company with these types of people. He sounds like an absolute doormat who can't even uphold his own boundaries and wants you to blame other women for his inadequacy.

Are you me?

I thought that I was coping fairly well with all these responsibilities (new part time job, started new college course) but towards the end of last week I came down with fresher's flu, crashed hard, couldn't go to lectures for two days, couldn't go to work all weekend. I was basically fucked and now I'll have literally no money for this week. We've only been back a week and I'm already so far behind with course work.

I've avoided anxiety meds all this time because I thought they would interfere with future job prospects in my field, but I am literally this fucking close to taking my counselor up on their offer.

Yes anon you're literally me, it's uncanny.
One thing I'll say is that if you're going to go for the meds, either take them right now (the start of a course isn't really as important as it feels) or start at Christmas break, in case they make you feel groggy and it slows you down even more. If you really need to take them though, just take them, universities can be really sympathetic when you've got a genuine medical related note to hand to them.

I don't know how we're going to cope. I hope we both make it through.

I feel this too much. So I'm in a LDR with my gf of a year, but a few months ago we got into a really bad fight which was during cons for the both of us. I had a good time and made a few friends at the con and added them online. One of them was a girl that had similar interests with me, which I thought was cool but not wanting to leave my gf because of it. I talk to the girl a few times on Twitter hyping over Fate shit and jokingly said we should do a certain cosplay together, but from there everything spirals out of control with my gf thinking I'm going to leave her for that girl. She always accuses me of having feelings for her when I get angry when she's brought up, but I'm only angry about the fact that I'm being accused of cheating. We've gone past the worst of it now, but she still has that distrust of me when I go to cons without her.

Being the man in a marriage to a very open and trusting nerd woman, I have to say a lot of the responsibility of upholding fidelity in the relationship falls on the man. If you want to be friends with these women, that does give them a little more access to the man in the realtionship sonce as a couple you are going to be treated like one person quite often for sake of planning, communication, etc. If you have a chronic problem with women clamouring to get their goods in front of your man, 3 things might be occurring, and they all have ongoing solutions:

1. You just got a hot man. The only thing you can do about girls coming at him is educate him on warning signs and let him know you appreciate his continued openess about their behavior.

2. He is a beta and likes the attention, whether he admits it or not. He is interacting with these women in a way that makes it seem like their sexual attention is wanted or needed. Again, not much you can do except monitor and maintain good communication with your partner because trying to change his behavior with other people will change it with you as will.

3. Your husband is not telling you everything. Even with all the access you have, there is still a chance he has another computer/phone he uses to communicate with these women that you are not privy to. He only breaks it off when it gets to the physical stage because he values the LTR more than a fling. He gets off on the mental aspect of being able to attract and seduce multiple women. Definitely don't doubt your partner if you have a loving relationship, just be aware that communication is a two way street and some traffic is slower than others.

Also, don't let a few crazies set you off of cons. And don't let 4chinz get you down.

No but you should always aim for it. Unless they are some roided up shonen protag it is not difficult to get into the right shape for a character. You wouldn't wear the wrong shoes for a character so why would you have 2 roles of fat for them?

No mater how good your costume is, if the character is not fat you aren't even going to look 25%

And seeing as this is rant/vent, when people go it is okay to be fat and cosplay they are really just making excuses for their heart attacks at 40

Sometimes these situations come out of the blue though.
A while ago our neighbors in our age moved to another city and out of politeness I asked where they'll move to when we last saw them. Suddenly the guy gives me the new address with a heart next to it. I first didn't notice it but an hour later he adds me on facebook and flirts with me (telling me I'm pretty and not to tell his gf). I was irritated, I only spoke to him twice, always in company with our partners. It was really weird, my bf told me to play it nice if I could, since he is our car-guy.
To this day I wonder why he did that out of the blue.

Does anyone have those 'friends' on facebook who seem to only keep you around for numbers. I'm starting to get really depressed because none of them seem to care about cosplaying the same things as me even though we get along, are low drama, have good sewing skills and the same fandoms. I just. It gets to me. I try to be nice and I realize that you can't be best friends with EVERYONE but would it fucking kill them to go 'hey I'm making a group for -blank- and I know you love it, would you like to join'. It feels like because I'm not desperate for likes that anything I do doesn't mean shit. Or am I just too fucking ugly for anyone to care about my passions.

I'm sorry that happened to you, anon. From what I've learnt so far, and from observing some of my own emotions, sometimes your other half can have "an itch", and the only way to relieve it is to blow that itch out of proportion to be able to discuss it and handle it. As it is, its not enough to get mad about/start an argument about, but if you keep kneading long enough you will stirr up enough trouble to have the issue handled once and for all. Does that make any sense? Sometimes you need "a fight" to clear the air.

I'm mostly just lurking on cgl since the dashcon fiasco and since then I learned a lot about American conventions.

They seems huge and so fun, and some of my favorite American artists won't stop saying they're going to have booths at cons. I'm so damn jealous because I can only go to cons in my European city (won't say more sorry) which are tiny or so family-friendly that there are a lot of annoying kids everywhere. There's no such things as panels, guests are mostly uninteresting and unknown artists or youtubers I don't care about, cosplayers there are terrible and while there are some good artists in the artist alley, if it can be translated to that, they're not many. It's not so bad but it seems so boring compared to big US cons (maybe not the biggest though).

I just hope that someday I'll be able to buy prints from my favorite artists online.

It's shit like this that turns you into an adult.

It's not a diploma, your age, or a job. It's when stuff goes wrong and you have to call someone on it cause they were dicking about.

I had my next street neighbor's mail delivered to me twice. They run a mail order after surgery healthcare business and it must be important bills and stuff they need to get on time. I called the post office about it and it hasn't happened again.

I remember being young and getting a talking to by the adults because you're a baby and don't know when they are talking out their ass businesswise. But when you get older and someone's fuck up cost you a chunk of money you learn to put on the big girl pants and deal with them like an adult.

So OP, you make the post office pay for the shipping back to you. Fill out their stupid forms and go to whoever is in charge and let them know their workers are costing the office money.

These things happen so often that you make lose your trust to anyone.It happened a similar thing but (hopefully) i wasn't married or in a long term relationship and a "friend" broke totally my possibility to have a future with that person i loved, she also knew how i suffered but she didn't give a flying fuck, i was also blamed from her to deserve to being left alone and single because i was an horrible person, i was accused of cheating (????) where the cheaters was her and him. People must be very aware of some friends, they first badmouth and demonize you, after they flirt with your SO and worse situation, they succeed to steal. But isn't only her fault, in my opinion also your husband has something fishy or he doesn't want to show you, please be careful.
Also, i really suggest to never get close some friends to your partner (female or male, it depends of the situation) because some want only a friendship to ruin your relationship.

For one:
Men don't block someone in response to a threat or an offense. The male reaction to that is to threat/offense back. That is how males work. They do not ignore or avoid threats, they face them headon and beat them.
What men ignore is things that are useless. If someone is too weak or stupid to be of any help, or if they only say things the man has already heard before, they get blocked.

For two:
A man telling you that a girl has sent him nudes is the same as the man telling you that the AC at his office was broken today. No ego involved, just comments on things that happened.

For three:
Yes, girls will try to mate-poach. It is ridiculously common. When women are rating men's sexual attractiveness, changing the man's profile from single to married, and making no other changes, causes him to jump in value from a 5/10 to a 8/10 or a 7/10 to a 10/10.
Presumably this is because a man who is devoted to his partner is a more valuable partner than a man with no strong attachment.

For four:
The response to being mate-poached is usually to turn down the girl, because she has poor morals - she has demonstrated selfishness and deceiving. These are bad traits for a partner to have. Men of poor morals might pump-n-dump on a one night stand; men of good morals, or who don't care for one night stand, will ignore her.

For five:
"Creepy" is not a word in the male vocabulary, because it is a female emotional response to someone whose child you do not want to spend a pregnancy raising. It is an emotional signal to avoid people who will waste your reproductive capacity on subpar offspring. Men, not suffering pregnancy, do not have this response.
If a Creepy person does not want to have sex with you, then your creeper-sense is giving a false positive.
Also, the main cause of creepy feelings is your amygdala (fear and threat response organ) being overactive. Not a fear or threat response actually existing.

They would. Con goers are sluts and single women have an intense preference for married men.

>>8612704
>ince you seem 100% bothered by the notion that there may exist crazy girls who would unconditionally send nudes (not denying this), then maybe it's best for husband to stay home if he can't be straightforward and not make company with these types of people.
What insane troll logic do you have to go through to arrive at this conclusion?
There already IS a solution to being unconditionally sent nudes. IGNORE THEM. Or show them to your wife and delete them. You are proposing an extreme solution to a problem that has already been solved in a normal manner. What the hell.

>He sounds like an absolute doormat who can't even uphold his own boundaries and wants you to blame other women for his inadequacy.
Assuming his boundary is "Only fuck my wife, no other women. Talking to other women is fine." then he upholds it. There is no inadequacy involved in receiving nudes. There IS inadequacy involved in receiving nudes and succumbing to their temptation, yes, but that isn't happening.

>>8609751

No, their response to their dwindling numbers will be to become MORE cliquish.

>>8609779
>All of this would be avoided if he would stop talking to them after the first sign of disrespect.
You assume your female form of "disrespect" exists in a man's mind in a noticeable manner.
It does not.
To a man, respect means kicking his ass in a close fight and buying him a beer afterwards.
Maybe anon's husband does come off as a flirt or as being available. That's not his problem though. Nor is it his wife's problem. It's not a problem at all.

You obviously don't either. I can believe that some guys will flirt for the attention and then go out of their way to hide evidence, and that some guys are innocent and wouldn't know how to handle the situation but still try to make peace with his partner by showing them the conversation. With the information that's been given out by the OP, I don't think we know enough about her bf to really say which he leans more towards.

Shows lack of trust. If the husband is being honest, and he probably is, then you're going to crash the marriage with no survivors by introduces such a lack of trust.
The Husband is showing the damn conversations to the wife. If he were running a deception he'd just not talk about the conversations.

Do you genuinely believe it's more likely that the husband is running a kansas city shuffle of a deception, than that random consluts are lusting over a man capable of a 100% honest and open committed relationship?
Have you not seen consluts or what? Or do you not realise that all it takes is 1 out of 50 girls to be slutty enough to send pictures, since you don't notice the 49 that abstain from sending nudes? "2% of con women are slutty enough to send nudes to a guy they wanna fuck without being asked" is odds I'm damn well willing to take, and if my experience is anything to count for, it's closer to 10%.

>>8610032
>"I'm hot and all other women are whores!"
To be honest, when you're married?
You ARE hot. To at least 1 guy.

Women rate most men as 3/10 or 2/10. 1/10s and 4/10s are rarer, an 5/10s are the top 20%. A man being rated 6/10, by a woman, indicates he's in the top 5%. That is a huge compliment.

Compare to how men rate women - fuggen bell curve. 5/10 is average, 50% of women are at 5/10 or above.

Guys do not flirt for attention.
That is a female action.
Guys flirt because they wanna get laid. As witnessed by how a guy will STOP flirting when he learns a girl won't put out, but a girl will KEEP flirting with a reluctant guy.
With girls, it's about being seen as attractive.
With guys, they couldn't give a tenth of a shit how attractive they seem, it is merely a means to the end that is the pussy.

I find your word choice of "try to make peace with his partner" odd.
No conflict or war was started with the partner, therefore no peace needs to be made.
The husband got a nudie pic he didn't really need/want.
He showed his wife because it's probably relevant to her interests.
Men only try to make peace with their partner if there is something the man has done wrong. If a man hasn't done anything wrong and the spouse is angry anyway, the action is viewed as placating the shrew. If the partner is not angry, there is no conflict.

Ratings and infographics do not make an argument weaker. You are wrong.
OP has provided enough information about her bf. The bf's behaviour is consistent with what men do.
What you have done is demonstrated that you have no fucking clue how men react to things, which is enough information for me to rant at you.

>>8617654
>it really seems like you're just using her situation to push your agenda
Well no shit, but understanding how the male mind works might be useful to you. The information is biased as hell, yes. But it is information nonetheless.
If you don't trust a man to describe how the male mind works, and I can see why you wouldn't (source is NOT impartial), then talk to a happily married woman. They are the women that know the most about men.

And of course I have a folder of these pictures.
Would you like me to upload it?
It's mostly Jews / Communism / Nazi germany related though, and the few that are on women are mostly about feminism, the effects of contraception and abortion on morality and demographics, and womens' voting rights than they are about how women work in relationships.
The few that are about women in relationships are basically "Alpha fucks beta bucks" repeated in various ways.

>>8617657
>I don't want to believe that such a large group of people are that solely concerned about sex
Men are not solely concerned about sex. They talk about their own physical and emotional health, their hobbies, their work, the fights they get into, they spread the knowledge they learned, and participate in causes they feel strongly about.
Men are also concerned with a womans' reliability, loyalty, how much babysitting she will need, how likely she is to coerce or blackmail.
But flirting?
Purely for noogie.

Then you are in the wrong argument. If anything, it's just convincing me you do not care about the issues going on in this thread, and that you want a more general view. In that case, make your own thread, on the appropriate board (I suggest /r9k/ since they seem to be interested in your line of work, /b/ since everything is accepted there, or /soc/ since it seems like a social issue).

>The bf's behaviour is consistent with what men do.
But it's not consistent with what he does personally, which I think trumps compared to what most men do.

And you have no idea how people react to things. I can trust a person if they personally show consistency in the things they say and how they execute them. I'm not going to pass judgement on OP's bf unless he shows up and gives an account of what he has done and his own honest opinion. I don't want to generalize because I don't think it's fair to him.

>The information is biased as hell

If not, show up at a con as Zelda from TLoZ or Aeris from FFVII, hang out with a Link, Ganondorf, Cloud of Sephiroth.
Or show up as a 2hu. Any 2hu. Hang out with any other 2hu. Yes there will be men playing 2hus.

I'm telling 8617688 that she should store her emotion for later use, since that emotion isn't that relevant now.

If 8617688 cannot store her emotion, she should cosplay the 2nd half of a partnership and partner up with a compatible person she meets.

If 8617688 were a gay man, then his language use would mean something entirely different - his same words would be conveying different ideas. Since the ideas behind his words are different, my response would be different. In this case, I would not approve of him performing his ideas in costume, as costumes are expensive, and his ideas would soil the costume.

They stop caring anon.
That's why people who are career retail and fast food workers (re: most managers) don't bother with training, blame problems on their lower totems, and only care about the final lines that they report to corporate.
People like you have good intentions and want to do the job right, but you should save this mentality for a job that deserves it.
If you see other people not caring and being angry then don't take it personally. The environment was jaded like that before you got there so it has nothing to do with you.

Stop caring, immediately.

I literally can't tell which series is supposed to be which. I mean LoGH is old but it's pretty well known. TTGL and Steins;Gate I think of as almost exactly the same crowd.

But no, it's not weird. I think there are a few people who only like one or two popular shows, an even smaller number of hipsters who hate what's popular, but most people have a spread of what they like.

Sex is part of relationship compatibility. If you're not going to have sex with him and you're not happy with him using porn then honestly I don't think you can reasonably make it work - if you won't act outside your sexuality for him then you can't expect him to do so for you.

I'm trying to hide my power level and my friends keeps on acting more and more like weebs when we're together in public these days and I can't stand it. Yelling that they're fujoshi in front of Japanese students and teachers alike in college, showing crappy amvs and blurry memes from 9gag in the middle of lectures while I'm listening to the lecturor and taking notes, imitating anime characters quirks ("EEEEEEEEH?!" instead of saying a simple "what?" for example).

I easily feel second-hand embarrassement when I see them, I don't want to gain some sort of reputation on top of that. It's because we're not many in our course now that a bunch of people quit or went overseas for internship or as exchange students,so we all know each other.

I can't even talk about whatever I want on tumblr without one of them reblogging everything I post and starting talking to me about private stuff that could give my identity in public while adding a bunch of XD and :3 I disabled comments/answers on my posts just so she would stop sending me stuff BUT SHE WON'T STOP. At least I can blame myself for that, I shouldn't have given her my url.

What made me suspect it was a gay male was the socially_awkward_slice_of_life_moeblob_anime_pic.tiff , that's a red flag for fags.

Also a sissy would never be so confident and assertive with their desire for sex. They would awkwardly mumble out that they don't want to be "bullied" or that they feel "shy" around other cute boys and they get kind
Which are basically codewords for how they want gay sex.

Have a huge group of friends and we all like to do group cosplays together, usually there isn't a problem with overlap because we all have character 'types' and get along well enough to chat it out

Recently every time someone brings up a group, one of my hyper-skinny flat no-hip friends takes the ONLY girl with huge tits and thick thighs. As the girl with an hourglass, huge hips, and thick thighs, this leaves me with a bunch of twigs or men to cosplay.

Happened recently with LL group. My flatchested skinny twig friends both want to do Nozomi. Then in a Marvel group the same flat twig of a friend took Scarlet Witch.

Have with a few of them, but it's usually sort of first come first serve and i haven't been part of the original convo lately. It's usually between one or two characters and one or two people, and never about bodytype, more about time and amount of money they want to put into the cosplay

In this instance it's all about bodytype and while I don't want to insult my friends, because I know they'll look good, and since they're skinnier and prettier they usually get more attention than I do regardless

hence, vent

I think it's less "it's not sexualizing if they're male" and more "this media is marketed to a niche audience and is delivering exactly what is expected" vs sexy designs of women being shoehorned into nearly every type of media marketed to "all audiences."

Like people are being fucking stupid if they complain about Monster Musume - that shit is sex appeal marketed to guys the same way yaoi is sex appeal marketed to girls. But generally being tired of girls in chainmail bikinis (and the like) can be reasonably independent of what you get your rocks off to. I hope that makes sense.

Gauge what you can do before giving up (I had to make a run for the fabric store during the roadtrip so I could work in the hotel).
If there's no way you can do that, prepare a backup outfit and save the crying for later.

> girls in fire emblem have tits when they sexualize every other dude in a tv show.
Oh man, the new FE is a hot button issue for a lot of people male and female alike so I'm not surprised. It'd be good to remember that there's a pretty big difference between someone's personal fantasy (aka girls sexualizing/shipping their favorite characters who are heterosexual within canon) and what is canon (aka girls who are knights and snipers in video games wearing bikinis). A girl having a fantasy isn't altering the experience of the show, whereas actual canon is affected solely for the sake of selling titty merch to horny fanboys.

I'm just kind of annoyed that fe is getting so much slack for it even though I don't think it's nearly as bad as other games and overall pretty balanced out.

I mean I don't know much about the new one because every source is so littered with spoilers Im outright avoiding it, but honestly I'm not bothered in the slightest with any of the designs I've seen so far.

I think it's because the earlier games in the series didn't have this issue at all. It's not like there were no sexy characters in FE at all, but the girls all wore stuff that made sense for their class (like dancers) so the change to Sexy Outfits for every female class type has been pretty jarring to older fans.

Well, I guess the saying "Hurt people hurt people" is true. Sorry your self esteem is still in shambles, anon. In the least condescending way I can intend this, I hope you can learn to love yourself and learn to feel less frustrated in a social system where not everyone is going to live as how you feel they should.

Fuck I just want to leave, it's insane. If I dare try to correct her on anything it's like all hell broke loose. If she had a bad day, she screams at me for something completely random and unrelated just to make me feel like shit. She never aplogizes for anything. I swear, once I'm out I'm never coming back to any of this shitty family.

Update on this weeb person who I am thankfully no longer friends with

>found out they outed my other trans friend on the first day of college ( I wouldn't have been able to tell at all if they hadn't done that)
>They walk around playing anime music/ Studio Killers music at full volume
>constantly talking to normies about anime things expecting them to understand
>a few days ago they gave everyone in the class homestuck names
>They're now best friends with another weeb who throws glitter at people
> constantly interrupting tutors and other people to talk about something from an anime or a web comic
> Was talking to friend about comic con and they butted in from across the class room to ask about the con
> Me and Trans friend think they're 'tumblr trans' fully now because they're cosplaying a character in a skirt and don't seem to be uncomfortable in a skirt
> They're gonna make 'homestuck zodiac signs' for a craft fair we're taking part in
