No offense intended, just curious.
At least he's not linking to Joysuck.
(I'm a dude too boot)
-Elevator Parties
-Kids talking about how cool they are for being "wasted"
-Male Sailor Moon cosplayers
-300 lb Felicia cosplayers
-Con security that think they can do whatever they want
-People that dont respect basic hygiene
-People that like to talk about how they "only had like 1 hr of sleep in 3 days" because they seem hardcore
-Lame viewing rooms - I know the big companies dont want fansubs, and Japantor has talked about how fansubbing hurts the industry at large, but I was introduced to a large amount of anime through fansubs shown in viewing rooms. In recent cons they have shown nothing that has remotely piqued my interest in buying on the dealer floor, but there have been some awesome shows in the past few season to air in Japan.
-People with signs "Free Hugs", "Will Glomp for food"
Thats all I can think of right now. =)
What could they use more of? DEODERANT. For fucks sake, the last con I went to mentioned that a shop inside the hotel sold speed stick at moderate prices. When the con guide mentions the smell that emits from some people...chicks included... its time for a fucking revolution. It gets to the point that after the first half of the second day the gaming room is uninhabitable by anyone with a sense of smell.
my first anime thing. ever
now im obsessed
NEED MOAR LUCKY STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
We could surely do without fat chicks trying to be chicks half their size.
We can do without the constant FFVII/KHI/KHII cosplayers. You can only see so many different shit/hot shit variations of semi ok characters.
We can DEFINATELY DO without the constant nerds who apparently don't know deoderant or at least bathing. Seriously folks. You're around hot and smart people. You're not at home.
...just throwin the most common.
Seriously, if there's going to be any sort of party or rave at a con, people need to fucking clean themselves, an use deodorant. I went to AnimeNEXT in New Jersey about a month ago and the "rave" was disgusting. The set was alright, but I really only went to watch two of my friends string.
1) Fewer lame jokes by the event hosts
2) A limit on how many packing-box Gundams are allowed onto the grounds
3) Fewer fat men and women trying to fit into costumes 3-4 sizes smaller than they are
4) Cosplay that ruins my image of the characters forever
5) Questions during the Q&A panels that make me fight the urge to get up and slap the person with my neighbor's unit. I refuse to damage my slap-hand on retards. (Jyukai and David Hayter come to mind)
