COSPLAY HORROR STORIES

>Everyone in the elevator takes him down
>Restrain him until police arrive
>Problem solved

Oh the horror!

>>8259760
Nobody wants to be the one person that gets stabbed.

>it's on like donkey kong
>bust out my own knife
>let's do this
I work in a warehouse so I always have a knife out of habit. It's a practical tool to have too.

>>8259769
If it's not in his hands you can restrain him before he even gets a chance to pull it out though :(

>>8259749
surprised he didn't get destroyed in there

>>8259769
have a bag or jacket take the hit
guy gets swarmed

>>8259776
I will remember this if a stabbing ever comes up. I always have a bag with me.

>>8259769
I do. I'm crazy.

>at con
>no scissors
>realized that i forgot to cut bangs for my wig
>mfw i look like a shitty newbie cosplayer

>asks bf to hold my sword
>he accidentally snaps it right in the middle
>its ok the con is over anyways and im otw home soon

my cosplay horror stories are pretty mild

Florida is a cosplay horror story in itself

>>8259769
I do.

I'm a sadomasochist, so I'd want to stab as well as get stabbed.

>>8259816
You understand me, anon.

One time I saw a cosplayer poop their pants.

>>8259856
what were they cosplaying?

>>8259858
Someone from Attack on Titan. Standard uniform. Started screaming to their friend group that they needed to go to the bathroom now. Friends were all "Okay, okay, hold on." Girl started running. Stopped. There it was. Poop on white pants. I saw it.

>>8259865
...How unfortunate...

>homestucks had a meet in the middle of a con
>triggered

>>8259844
classic

A bunch of Homestuck cosplayers decided to combine spin the bottle and truth or dare, which attracted people until there were about 100 people just making out with each other in the middle of this hotel at like 3 in the morning.

>strapless white dress
>forgot to bring strapless bra

I had to wear my ugly nude t-shirt bra and pin my capelet weirdly around the straps to make sure the straps wouldn't show.

>>8259865

>aot

im not even surprised

>>8259844
what the fuck that's actually fucking terrifying

>>8260318

it always astounds me how the homestucks manage to pull shit like that together at conventions given their rep. then again, it could be the reason for that rep.

>>8260309
This is actually how an ex of mine lost her girlfriend; the one she cheated on me with. I guess the chick went to one of these "Spin the Faygo" things and made out with people.
When she told me about it I didn't know whether to feel bad or just see it as karma.

Brace yourselves, this is a long one.

>Working a con last year, can't say which because I think I signed a NDA after all this shit went down
>Stage managing the fashion show
>International fashion guests errywhere, NHK is there, etc
>Lighting/sound guy is useless as fuck, wasted our entire budget on really tacky plywood decorations that looked like shit, we have about $200 to feed our models and do hair/makeup
>Our call for hair/makeup was 7am, he didn't show up with the keys until 9am so we had to do hair/makeup in the hallway outside of the staging area
>There was no changing area even though we were promised one, so when I asked him if he could get someone to move pipe/drape into the room where we finally got to set up hair/makeup he was all "I can't do that, I'm not allowed to"
>I ask him if /I'm/ allowed to, he says yes
>Myself and my 2IC have to move six fucking massive panels of pipe/drape into the next room ourselves to make changing rooms
>As we're moving tables in the next room to make the changing rooms we find a MASSIVE pink dye stain on the carpet and a pair of thrashed fur raver leg warmers underneath a table, everything suddenly stinks like raver sex
>we laugh it off because we'd finally found where the tufts of pink fur everywhere had been coming from
>Terrible lighting guy sets up the light trees that hit the stage with your regular yellow-toned white stage lights, no color gels
>Does the runway in true-white purple-toned LED strip lights, from the floor like a fucking airport runway
>All of the models look like they're holding a flashlight under their chin when they walk down it
>He refuses to change it despite my pointing all of this out to him
>This is when the Japanese guest liaison shows up, a crazy motherfucker I'll call Kurae. Japanese trust fund baby, has a very low opinion of women, etc
>Meanwhile none of the actual guest designers have shown up yet

TBC

>>8260108
OT, but I thought it was CCDW. Not trying to be a grammar nazi, just wondering if I've been saying it wrong or it's a regional thing.

>>8259798
This.

>>8260717

>Guest designers FINALLY show up, with their translators and in-house models in tow
>Kurae the guest liaison is the reason why we have to make every one of our local models walk twice (in some cases three or even four times because every designer wanted the girl)
>He was given 60 models to choose from, he picked 15 of them, was supposed to pick at least 30, didn't want to because none of them were apparently attractive enough for his tastes
>Everyone starts ranting about how some of the girls will have to change in like a 5min window

Flash forward to after the dress rehearsal:
>One of the guests' translators starts screaming at me because they hadn't been able to run sound check for the live performance the designer was apparently going to do
>We were already opening an hour and a half behind schedule because Kurae kept trying to change the run order and the lighting guy showed up two fucking hours late
>Meanwhile the translator is still pitching a bitch fit, but she gets calmed down by someone that wasn't me
>Show starts without much of a hitch, we get through the first batch of girls pretty quick
>I go backstage to check on where the next models are at, same translator is telling one of the models that she's up next
>Girl isn't up next, she's not walking again until the end of the show, I say as much
>Translator flips the fuck out at me, starts trying to flaunt her staus as a guest translator like it means she's in charge or something
>Politely tell her that her status as a translator means absolutely nothing in this situation (not in those exact words, but I can speak Japanese too so she's nothing special in this situation)
>She literally SCREAMS at me to "Go fuck yourself" as I'm going back to the wings to supervise

Flash forward again to the end of the show:
>Dept. supervisor comes up to me, asks if I told the translator to go fuck herself

TBC, also just realized this is 'cosplay' horror stories and not general 'con' horror stories, whoops. =

>>8260728

>Apparently the translator had told Kurae that I screamed at her, not vice versa
>Kurae is shit talking myself, my immediate supervisor, my 2IC, and basically all of the models to anyone who will listen at this point
>He's speaking Japanese (and he's saying all this shit to NHK and the designers) because he thinks that we can't understand him
>Most of us speak Japanese, can very clearly hear him call us crazy bitches etc to a fucking news crew and a bunch of guests
>I'm crying at this point because I'm pretty sure the entire building could light on fire at this point and it would be an improvement
>Model that had been standing there when the translator screamed at me comes to my rescue, calls the translator out on her bullshit
>Dept. supervisor is cool about it, my whole team is apparently made of the best bros on the face of the planet
>I don't get banned from the entire state of california like my paranoia and anxiety makes me feel like I was going to be after all that shit

Everything turned out well enough in the end but it was so fucking stressful that I ended up hiding in my hotel room for most of the rest of the con. But hey, Kurae got fired for being the biggest piece of dog shit ever so not everything was terrible.

>>8260750
Wow, that was a whirlwind of shit. I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I always feel bad for con staff, none of the credit and all of the blame.

>>8259749
>reasons I always carry a knife and pepper spray
Come at me motherfucker.

Also
>putting on a skit at local con
>weeby ex-friend is begging to have some kind of part in it as usual
>she cosplays one of those 'lol sooo crazyy!! XDDD' characters, of course
>"hey I have a great idea for your skit anon! how about I come in half way through and throw a fake bomb into the audience THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY"
>literally think she's joking
>she wasn't
>shortly after that cut contact

Some people are fucking psychos man.

>>8259749
Well mine's not the worst thing ever but it could've been worse.

>Meet a guy during his panel for one of my favorite shows
>He comes off as pretty nice and very informative and talkative guy
>Hangout with him last day of the con
>We're going through a large crowd
>Suddenly he has a tight iron grip on my arm and won't let go despite my gentle struggling to get loose
>Nervously laugh and say you can let go now
>He lets go finally after a few minutes of walking around awkwardly clamped onto me I gtfo once I find an excuse
>See him again at another con and think maybe he was just being awkward and I was just overreacting
>Foolishly get into the car with him
>To go eat with him
>Nothing strange happens and he doesn't try cutting through the awkward silence
>Going to the restroom
>Come out he's waiting directly at the door for me
>Clumsily make my way around him while dreading the worst but nothing comes of it
>Later on the second night I come up from the bar drinking with two friends and we're heading to my room to chill
>A little tispy but not brain dead drunk at least
>Feel the sudden need to turn around
>See the guy at the end of the hall and from what I can tells his eyes are dead set on us
>Suddenly grab my tallest friends arm and start moving to my room faster and lock the door

Feel like I overreacted but being tipsy and having some guy following me around put me on high alert. I didn't wanna be one of those people who condemns people for being weird or creepy but he had so many chances to clear his name and only made it worse.

>>8260179
If you're still wondering, cow licenses allow you to transport cows in trucks.

>>8260721
A lot of different terms work for it. Going by the wording on mine it would be a CDWL but they all mean the same thing

>>8260778
It was Jinx wasn't it?

But man what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

>>8260750
did you at least respond in japanese to let him know you could understand him?

doesn't even have to be something like "niggah, fuck you," just anything. snarky, normal, anything.

>get in elevator for con
>guy that looks like he's in 9th grade pushes me while rushing in
>think to myself he's probably alone and nervous so don't bother lashing out on him
>knocks me the fuck out while I look away, shit starts to fade
>think to myself "dear god, I'm being fucking raped by a kid"
>sight starts to clear up, we reach the floor and kid runs away like hell
>what

The worst part is I was starving myself up till then and I felt REALLY shitty for days after. Ruined the con for me.

>>8259846
what'd you say to her

No, we were too busy with finishing up the show. Besides, it was way better and more rewarding to just turn (as a group) to our department supervisor and tell him "Yeah the guest liaison is being an unprofessional piece of shit and calling us crazy bitches to fucking NHK, this is really going to reflect badly on the con as a whole, you should probably report him to the higher-ups"

>mfw our dept. supervisor was like "Yeah I'm going to talk to his supervisor. He's not coming back next year."

>>8261858
even better to yell out "kurae, eat a dick" in Japanese while he's in the middle of talking to NHK and then report him

>>8261885

They weren't interviewing him or anything, he was talking to the guy in charge of the crew. The cameraman was busy filming the stage.

also lol telling him to eat a dick would be "nikubou o kurae" which is why I substituted Kurae for his actual name in the story.

>>8261804
yo WHAT

>>8259749
Bet he would have wet his pants when I pulled out my gun.

>>8261900
the main goal would be to make him think "oh fuck they can speak japanese and know what i've been saying." get him panicking.

>>8261900
>>8261916

Not that anon, but I think it's good he didn't get any warnings, so he can't make excuses to top brass before anon's team got their complaints in. Plus it always looks bad if you have to explain how you were immature enough to verbally harass him while he was in the middle of what seems to be off-duty chit chat with the guests' crew.

>>8261949

Exactly. The mature response isn't to blow up at someone for shit talking you. It's to go to their boss and snitch for maximum punishment.

Not really a horror story, but I can't find a general rant thread here.

>one friend who does cheap as fuck cosplays
>always bumming wigs that are "close enough" off of other friends because she doesn't want to spend money to buy her own
>she comes over one day to work on cosplay and we're all discussing it
>the topic turns to wigs and stuff
>I mention that Ireally want to get a good wig now that I'm getting more into cosplay
>she sees what color I'm getting (pink) and replies with "Oh, that's good! I might need a pink wig in the future for a cosplay I want to do"
>mfw I straight up tell her I'm not sharing it

She got really put out and kept asking why, and I kept just telling her "I don't want to share my cosplay stuff." I felt like a dick, but I don't want my stuff ruined. She can barely even brush her real hair properly, nevermind a wig.

>>8265727
>she sees what color I'm getting (pink) and replies with "Oh, that's good! I might need a pink wig in the future for a cosplay I want to do"
Holy shit, what an entitled attitude.

>>8265727
Fuckin good. I hate people who think their entitled to other people's shit. I used to have a friend that would do that shit at cons, tried to sell her pass and was just like "Teehee if I want to do anything I'll just borrow your pass!"
The fuck you won't, bitch.

>>8260309
That brings me back.

>>8265727
Holy shit I feel this my friend is always asking to borrow wigs and if i can help her with her cosplay cus she has absolutely 0 skill! and I'm just too nice so I never turn her down but this past con I spent 3 days making her something that everyone complimented and ended up rushing my own costume

>>8265755
my thoughts exactly

>Walking around with friends at a con
>Some fuck with a domo hat kept on bumping into us asking for hugs
>continue walking and ignore him

If it wasn't for the fact that we were in the middle of the actual convention center, I would've punched the shit out of him

>>8259749
While not the worst thing to happen at a convention, it's a story easy to tell and I'm a lazy fuck.

>little ol' me doin my first high-tier cosplay
>am doing San from Princess Mononoke
>I made that shit with quality materials
>I'm talking legit deer skin, fiber fabrics, clay, the works.
>Meanwhile, 2 a.m. rolls around, and our shit group leader who was supposed to have rooms ready for us BEFORE the convention tells us all, "HEHEH LOL I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ROOMS FOR 5 OF YOU LOL"
>Fuck.
>SO we wait for him to talk to some of his shit-tier buddiez to see if the have room for any of us
>Meanwhile, an hour later, little sleepy 14-year-old me is nodding off. First convention, so I wasn't used to the late-night life and had no idea how I could contribute to our problem.
>Remember that god-tier costume I made and spent about 100 hours and 4 months on?
>Hand-made San's mask from red clay. Fired it, glazed it, and everything. (I had some good sculpting skills back in the day.)
> I start to nod off while waiting on the tiled floor in the lobby (not enough chairs for everyone)
>Mask weighs 10 poinds
>Restraints came loose
>Falls onto the ground
>Cracks in half while still attached to the pelt.
>*Cries*

>>8265759
Omg, my roommate is EXACTLY like this. I'll order stuff online for myself or my boyfriend, and when she gets home and sees it on the coffee table she'll say something along the lines of "LUL YOU GOT THAT FOR ME LULTHX". FUck no I didn't get it for you. I told you ahead of time it's for ME. At one point I thought she was just trolling, but then she started getting seriously pissed that we didn't get her enough. Also, when you tell her she can "borrow" something, she hears "keep". She borrowed my desk for her snake cage, and swears by the old gods and the new that it's hers (not like that desk hasn't been in my family for like 40 years or anything. I lent it to her before I knew what a prick she was about owning things.)

Sorry, I know that's off-topic, but I just had to rant.

>at this point I'm mad because I basically have to ride the bus all the way home smelling like Jack from Croniclesof Riddick, I don't even want to walk around like this or enjoy the rest of the day.

>someone walks into the bathroom and says hello to my friends, then knocks on my door
>Are you the one that needs a pad?
>uh yeah, at this point I would need a mop, a tampon factory and some morphine
>girl literally passes me a giant ziplock bag with a mop, a tampon factory and morphine inside it.

>I got clean and dry and changed.
>tampon factory hero girl disappeared before I ever got to see her face, I was in the stall when she handed me the bag and she left before I was done cleaning up and changing

>I enjoyed the rest of the day and only cried again when I got home and finally showered
>still have the undies

>>8266360
That girl is a bro. That was very kind of her.

>>8265727
I believe I'm about to get stuck in the same situation

> wear elaborate cosplay to con
> took me months to get all the details right
> friend's girlfriend who never talked to me before adds me on facebook after the con
> sends a message telling me how much she loves the costume
> repeats a bit too often that it's her favourite character
> asks out of nowhere if I could tell her the exact measurements of the costume
> weird question but answer it anyway
> "Oh, I see. That means I would fit in it."

My friend (her boyfriend) once told me she wants to cosplay but doesn't want to spend any money on it. I know where this is heading and my answer will be a solid no. Like hell I'm going to let a stranger flaunt my hard work.

>>8261804
so if i'm reading this right, you got mugged?

or he just decided to punch you?

>>8266360
>>8266361
Bless that kind girl.

>>8266360
>>8266361
That's adorable. I wish a tampon hero came to my rescue ;_;
Bless tampon heroes all around the world.

>>8266360
This just reminded me to pack some emergency supplies in my bag before the con.
Ty anon, you're a life saver.

>>8269182
>Oh, I thought you were referring to some kind of BDSM play.

Not... exactly, no. BDSM is consensual, after all.

What do you think they DO in those NEETcaves?

>>8269182

or rape.

>>8269192

There's been enough rapes and attempted rapes relayed in these con horror story threads that you'd think /cgl/ would take the risk seriously.

I'm 19, was 18 last year since that was our first con. I am not 14.

>>8269182
This reminds me of this only time that I wore flats to a con and I got separated from my friends.

Then I got assaulted. By two footfags. Needless to say I just let them play with my feet since they threatened to spill shit on my costume otherwise. One of them was hot af, slim, asian, but I was still weirded out as heck (I was 14 at the time). Otakus are fucking weird.

This is why I keep extra female supplies and underwear on me at all times. If some poor girl isn't too grossed out to wear my underwear, I'd gladly give a pair up to someone in need. (of course I do try to keep new pairs in my bag).

I, um, might have played along there. They didn't seem like the types to ruin people's costumes. I wasn't the talking kind of person and I thought whatever awkward shit to leave my mouth would be worse than having them feel me. Stupid shit, I know.

That's called "predation on minors." You were 14 years old and confused and scared - that's why they targeted you. That's exactly why it pisses me off so much.

It's mostly the fault of other friends letting her do it. She's done this kind of shit for as long as I've known her, and I honestly have no idea why people who know her well enough keep feeding into it. This isn't cosplay related, but:

>fantasy themed, hosted at the extensive gardens of an actual castle (we can't go inside sadly)
>amongst the people there, there's also fringe groups of cosplayers that like to tour large events like these all over the county, like the steampunk group (they're ok I guess) and the post-apocalypse punk group.
>post-apocalypse group's gear consists mostly of ripped/dusty/"aged" clothing, motorcycle helmets, army helmets, old motorcycles, metal jerrycans and oil drums, gas masks, and neon dyed mohawks that would make you fit in with king's thugs from fist of the north star if you get what I'm saying.
>Like basically a mix of old military buff, zombie apocalypse (paint-stripped vehicles with welded on spikes and metal grilles where the windows are supposed to be), and mad max.
>They have a parade where they drive their modified vehicles slowly and make a scene. Whatever floats your boat. I don't really mind. They might not fit the theme too much but you're entitled to do your thing just as much as the steampunks or medieval buffs by me, as long as you have fun and don't actively ruin others' fun.

I don't carry during cons for the simple reason of the crazy weebs who only know about guns through anime and video games. This reminds me of an encounter I had at a con at the beginning of the month.

>Sword booth this year have realistic looking older model prop guns. A large blunderbuss, many pistols all with intricate "carvings". I know they are not real but I would love to have the real guns these are modeled after they are beautiful.
>I'm standing there admiring some of these props.

> he ask if I have real guns.
>mention that I have a few and have my ccw
> he starts telling me how a revolver is better for "Combat" and to not use speed loaders. Just keep a pocket full of bullets because your opponent won't know how much ammo you have left and if you can learn to reload with one hand you can be almost as fast.

I really just wanted to tell him that IF you actually needed to draw your gun, the encounter will probably be over after the first 2-3 shots fired. If you're ever in a situation where you need to reload you're probably not going to survive. Its best just to have gun you can draw quickly and fire fast/accurately. And that guns are not toys, If you have to draw somebody is going to die. I didn't want to cause a big scene because this guy has seen one to many episodes of Trigun.

Not to go full /k/ommando sperk on you here, but that kind of defeats the entire point of having a concealed weapon. It goes double if you decide not to carry in a venue that is not only well populated by insane people, but often targeted by muggers and thieves because they know they'll have their share of overweight jittery weebs to pick on.

>he starts telling me how a revolver is better for "Combat" and to not use speed loaders. Just keep a pocket full of bullets

Yeah it's totally autistic to have a way to be discreet when you're out in a world full of SJW left-wing hippie retards who will get triggered and have spaz attacks if they know someone's carrying a baby killing auto-death murderizer 3000 within five square miles of them. That's so autistic.

>crazy bitch runs up once again on her way out and tries to stick me again.
>decide it's not worth it to be a dick and cause a scene arresting her, but if she continued the next day I'd let the local municipality take care of it
>next day she is a no show
Con went well after that, I carry a gun to every con I go to, they are usually under enough clothing that they won't print or risk a child running up and grabbing it thinking its a prop. Just make sure if you are cosplaying something skimpy or something that will print, throw your Gun into your backpack or fanny pack to avoid a debocial since not everyone is well versed in the law.

>>8271011
>not everyone is well versed in the law.

Then I'm sure you know that in most states, private businesses (like hotels and con centers) are well-within their rights to ban weapons and ask concealed carriers to leave. Being a trained cop is one thing, but who wants Joe McAspie Weeb with a carry permit bringing guns or knives to the con? There's a reason the first item on most cons' prop policy is "no real weapons."

The metal arm one was great.

I don't know if I shared this story or not. I think this is more of an "awkward" and less of a "horror", but I would rather not relive it:
>At Soapbubble.
> Been wearing thigh high six and a half inch boots for cosplay all day.
> Feet have finally had it.
> Thank god, chairs. Need rest and wait for friend because not gonna try to walk back to hotel alone.
>Upon sitting and waiting, is approached by guy, who sits down next to me.
>[insert awkward small talk here]
>"Do you go to high school in the area?"
>"Uh. no. I'm in college..."
>"Oh." Cue him looking me up and down before grinning. "Good. Congratulations."
>"Um... thank you?"
>"You don't look old enough to be in college. I thought you were like... sixteen."
> .... never sure how to respond to this, ever, so I'm pretty sure I just nodded.
> "Would you like to dance? Maybe I could get your number?"
> "No... thank you. I've been wearing these all day..." gestures to previously mentioned boots. "And I'm not looking for a date..."
>awkwardness continues until friend finally notices and comes over to help me back to the hotel room.

I really think the guy was harmless, and just a socially awkward nerd, but it was always a bit jarring to be asked out the moment someone realized that I was in my twenties, not a minor.

>Then I'm sure you know that in most states, private businesses (like hotels and con centers) are well-within their rights to ban weapons and ask concealed carriers to leave.

In most states that doesn't matter much. Here's how it works:

For the most part, the "right to ask concealed carriers to leave" is just their already-existing right to kick anyone off their privately-owned property for any reason that isn't specifically forbidden by law (for instance, racism.) However, in order to do that, they have to know you've got a firearm in the first place, which they won't because it's concealed. Many businesses have a "no firearms" policy for varying reasons; thus, if you keep your firearm discreet (like you damn well should,) you won't have any problems, and if you don't (which could cause a disruptive environment for the business owners) they're well within their rights to ask you to GTFO. Refusing to do so then constitutes trespassing, and gentlemen in institutional blue will be along shortly to make sure you GTFO. This also means that the business can protect itself from legal liability - it was Against Our Policy, so you can't blame us for Joe Citizen bringing a concealed weapon in, because we had no way to know he had it, thus we couldn't enforce our policy, etc.

In a few states, the "No Firearms Allowed" signs have force-of-law, which means it IS a crime to bring a firearm into an establishment which is properly equipped with said signs (the criteria for proper signage is laid out in the law.) I have personally never seen a con or convention center that bothered with said signs.

>>8271408
>There's a reason the first item on most cons' prop policy is "no real weapons."

That's because weebs are breathtakingly stupid. There's also the simple practical issue of identification - police responding to an assault, a fight, etc. at a con (which happens pretty often, all things told) might show up and see someone with a cheap airsoft gun that looks identical to a real one. I've got a $25 plastic spring airsoft gun next to me right now which is indistinguishable from a real M92F Beretta. If you paint over the orange on the tip, any cop on earth would shoot you for pointing it at him. Many dumb weebs do not realize this. It's similar to the rule against live steel or even heavy/long props; many weebs run around and happily hit people with them, because they are dumb.

>but who wants Joe McAspie Weeb with a carry permit

The issuing government has certified that permit holder is trustworthy to carry a concealed firearm in public, with the exclusion of particular sensitive areas (almost all of them government or federal government buildings). Joe McAspie Weeb is therefore trusted by The Government and The Police to carry in grocery stores, parking lots, public parks, and pretty much every other goddamned place. Why do his rights and privileges suddenly stop at the door of the convention center?

I really don't get why people get so upset over this. If you have visible boobs as this girl did, we, as staffers assume it's a woman. What i don't understand is why people like that just assume we should know what they are right off the bat. If we don't know, they get mad.

But I think it was in Valparaiso, maybe the Daicon or the Comicon, expensive ass entrance, crowded as hell and inside a building/pub/warehouse.

Dashcon-A horror story unto itself.

>>8273011
If it was for the TransTrenders of Tumblr, everyone should greet you with a "What are your preferred pronouns?" Instead of "How are you?"
Like, they told you "It's transphobic to assume that a person is female just because they look female" and vice-versa. And that's fuckIng insane.
Dude if it quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, and looks like a duck, don't' get all bitchy on me telling me it may be a flamingo and that I'm a horrible human being for assuming the obvious.

Not so much a horror story so much as wtf but...

>Day 0 of con, friend and I bumming around the con hotel
>Get into elevator to browse main floor, guy gets in with us
>Has bag of food, think nbd
>"Hey do you guys like Attack on Titan?"
>Friend doesn't know it, tell him I do
>"Do you know potato girl?"
>"Yeah she's pretty cool-"
>He pulls a raw potato out of his bag
>And bites into it, continues to eat it until we hit main floor

I have issues as a person that's transitioning into a man with this, but I do understand your way of thinking. Like, if you literally make no attempt to present as the gender that you identify as, then that's dumb. What I don't believe in is when people tack the female gender on me (when I'm in my binding and presenting my best) because of the fact that I tend to dye my hair unnatural colors. I always get the "oh, you have purple in your hair, so I assumed you were a girl" which is dumb, because the other colors were blue and green.

>>8273084
I eat raw potatoes on a regular basis. The presentation sounds awkward, but don't slam something until you try it.

Hey, /k/ommando here. I know you're against it, but concealed carry is very important, especially during cons. Lots of creeps and unsavory types, plus you are generally in an unfamiliar area during a con. It's a dangerous world out there, especially for women. And feminine men, like yours truly.

the girl was probably pushing 200 lbs, just had her hair in a braided pony tail, was wearing jeans and a t shirt. Under the shirt however it looked like there might have been very loose binding or it was just a bra that gave up on life as she was big chested too. There was no sign to us, or probably to anyone in that room, what she was and that just really rustled my jimmies. unfortunately she followed it up with more questions:

>she mentions how some people don't like to be hugged
>'you should make badges that are different colors: Green means its ok to hug, yellow is maybe, and red is no'
>mfw pic related

Ngl, i entirely understand that not everyone is comfortable with a stranger just hugging them. But to ask us to have multiple badges ready just for anyone who isn't comfortable, that's just such a waste of time and money. I had someone approach me as i was discussing this with a staffer and said person that approached made the comment: "Lemme get this straight, you're in a social event but you don't want to be social? Also, what if you start the event off in a red badge and by the end of the weekend you're a green? You'd have to go back in line just to get a different badge made out going from red > yellow > green."
Sorry to rant about this chick, she just kept blowing out so much tumblr stuff.

>>8273924
"being social" doesn't mean you have to be willing to let any random come up to you and hug you out of nowhere. that's really gross. if you're one of those rare people willing to have that happen to them, put a goddamn "free hugs" sign on like all those disgusting people who usually have those signs

though I agree that the idea of colored badges is also fucking dumb. back in my day we used our social skills and common sense to realize that hugging random people without asking first is not okay

>>8273932
I completely agree with that and I understand that not everyone wants hugs randomly without asking. I think what just made it all frustrating is that you'd come to a large event and need some way to let others know you dont want any sort of interaction(aka badge colors). I have a cousin who is very high functioning autism and barely has the ability to speak. But even if he were to come to the con , you'd have the parent/ adult present.
If people are really that uncomfortable, find someone to go with you that you'd feel safe with.

>Australian's first international con, Madame Hydra on first day of con
>Some guy is taking photos and a seedy looking guy comes up with the hottest fem Winter Soldier I have ever seen
>Asks to take photos, there's a link between characters because Hydra so okay
>Guy starts taking photos all is cool

>Really uncomfortable as he gets more insistent about this shit
>"HEY WE SHOULD TAKE A SELFIE TOGETHER BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE PHOTOS"
>Successfully stopped creepy middle of the walkway shoot and we take uncomfortable selfies
>Seedy guy is watching
>Starts talking about latex body suits
>"I really want to do a shoot with a girl in a clear latex suit, you have great tattoos WS you should do this shoot with me"
>Never seen someone more uncomfortable in my life
>She says no I'm not comfortable with that
>"Oh come on, you don't have to do it now just give me your details"
>WS makes another attempt at saying no
>Guy gets more insistent
>I step in and tell him she's clearly uncomfortable and can he stop asking
>"OH NO I WASN'T SAYING WE HAVE TO DO IT NOW. MAYBE IN A MONTH OR TWO I JUST NEED YOUR DETAILS"
>Nope the fuck out of there
>"We're going this way, you go that way"
>Steer her away from seedy guy and have never had someone so grateful before

I made a really good friend out of that though and I hung out with her a few times over the convention. Never had someone that openly creepy at an Australian convention so it was an interesting experience.

I had sex on a fucking patio.

>>8274332
Yeah I am not the best at this kind of thing.

>>8273932
I may be just speaking from a Canadian perspective on this one, haven't been to any US cons. But here's the thing, 'glomping' and the like have been a pretty common thing to the con community for a long time... There's a point con-goers have to reach where they realize that not every attendee is like-minded and mature. And in that, accepting that random hugs and shit happen at cons (unfortunately). Even if these coloured badges were a thing, I doubt every single person would follow that ruling simply because of their maturity level.

>>8274338
tip: when writing first person POV, it is dorky to describe your own facial expressions. it shifts the camera of narration from your own eyeballs to outside you looking at yourself, and demonstrates some kind of self-conscious pretentious affect by describing yourself in 3rd person. especially with an adverb like "oddly" because that would only be used if you were at a loss as to how to interpret the facial expression of someone whose emotions were not known to you. but you know your own emotions and your own facial expressions shouldn't be strange... but if they were, that would be a story of its own!

I'm too nice to say no to one of my friends that just started cosplaying. I offered to do her make up once and some how I ended up doing it every other time.

I'm losing time and rushing before cons Just to make time to do my friends make up.

I atually gathered the courage to tell her to buy her own make up recently becuase I spend such a decent amount on it I dont want to use it on her.

Need to tell her if she wants to cosplay she's gotta learn to do her own make up.

Handing out love live flyers with to people at a con and made the worst decision to hand one to a dead pool cosplayer who preceded to ask me I he could draw a dick on the pamphlet and take more...

I didn't even bother listening to whatever else he had to say I just got the fuck out of there

And low functioning means they can barely function on their own.
My sister is high functioning because she can work at her job, pay her bills, and take care of all the necessary adult stuff she needs to on her own, but the autism fucks up with her social abilities. My cousin is low-functioning because he can't do enough on his own and he'll probably never be able to take care of himself all the way.

>>8274689
High or low functioning refer to social and dependance issues seperately. You can be highfunctioning independant but lowfunctioning socially.

I honestly had second hand embarrassment for her. Anyone else experienced this sort of thing? I've always been pretty obsessive over trying to guide my friend when it comes to cosplay now to prevent her making further mistakes.

>>8274745

I've known her for a long time, it's one of those kind of things y'know? But yeah, they are really weeby but she has gotten better with time, when I first met her she was REALLY bad for it. I didn't spend much time with them at the con anyway so it was all okay. She isn't cosplaying something as complicated this year, she's going as Yuki Nagato (the costume was bought so at least it won't fall to pieces). I was cutting the wig for her on Tuesday. I'll help her where I can basically.

It's hit or miss. A friend of mine is a 6'3" m2f, but he goes by male pronouns and only tells close friends. Partly because around the midwest here, he's legitimately concerned about his safety, as some people will fuck you up if you're trans/crossdressing/gay etc.

Not all cosplayers are raging weebs. Chances are if they've taken a CC course, passed the class, have their license and are carrying, they're not weeb-tier-dumbass. Your feelings don't trumph someone's right to safety.

To clear it all up, I never said those frenzied weebs should have guns, I said someone who a concealed carry permit holder should be able to conceal carry for their own protection. Especially when around people who might injure them.

Do you, uh, know what it takes to get one of those permits? They don't exactly hand them out on streetcorners. It's not like you move to the US and get your complimentary gun and carry license in the mail, you know?

Some people have really strange ideas about this stuff.

>They don't exactly hand them out on streetcorners. It's not like you move to the US and get your complimentary gun and carry license in the mail, you know?
>Among U.S. states, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Vermont and Wyoming allow residents to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.[33][34][35] These states also allow the open carry of a handgun without a permit.
>In Montana, Utah, South Carolina, and New Hampshire, bills are being discussed that would allow unrestricted carry

they actually, really do. CCW permits are ridiculously easy to get, it's not like they actually test anything. the extent of a background check is: have you ever committed a crime? no? there's your gun

>>8275385
that's not a CCW

>>8275385
>all these sparsely populated rural as fuck states don't require a permit!

But you'll need one anyway if you want to actually go to a convention; which is why lots of people get out-of-state Florida permits or something similar. But I bet all those Wyoming cons are hell on wheels amirite

>the extent of a background check is: have you ever committed a crime? no?

Lol, no. First they run this: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics which is what they use to screen people buying a gun. After that, you get an in-depth background check; in almost every state you're disqualified for any violent misdemeanors (and any misdemeanor regarding losing your temper or being a fuckwad,) and you might be called in front of a hearing board to defend yourself if they turn up anything questionable in your past (if you've ever been involved in any violent altercation ever, even if it was considered self-defense and you were never charged with anything, expect to show up to refresh their memory.) States have reciprocity agreements where they honor the carry permits of other states... *if* those states are at least as rigorous in applying permit criteria as they are. Most states that issue permits have reciprocity in most other states, because they almost all stick to the same criteria.

While we're at it, crimes that will disqualify you - or get your permit yanked - include "brandishing," which, depending on local law, could be as simple as lifting your shirt to show off your gun, depending on how you're acting or talking. Because that's threatening people with a weapon, and that's against the fucking law pretty much everywhere.

Wow, so hard, such difficult

I like how your disaster of a post just rephrased what I said 50 times as many words

background check: have you committed a crime? no? here's your gun

I never said they ASK you if you committed a crime, just that it's what the background check is. CCW permits are fucking jokes.

>>8275385
>the extent of a background check is: have you ever committed a crime? no? there's your gun.

Background checks are not Concealed carry licenses, dumbass.

Also, it's different state-by-state to get a concealed carry license. I'm from Texas, where you have to pay a $100 fee, get a background check, attend a class about proper firearm handling and safety, then pass a test. Also the waiting period.

You're also forced to hand over your concealed carry license first thing if a police officer ever stops you and notify him you're carrying.

Plus guns are expensive, and most gun dealers and gun show guys won't sell to you if you seem suspicious.

>This roots out the weeb

>>8275411
So what? The tripfag is trying to argue that only normal, competent people can get CCW permits, not aspie weebs. Like you just pointed out, they're screening for police records, not giving you a test to evaluate whether you'll try to show it off at a convention while dressed as Spike.

No. I see how you are, though.

Left out a little bit there.

>>8275429
Literally click any other state on that site then.

Okay so NOW it's not the background tests that root out the weeb, it's the fact that gun dealers are great judges of character? OIC.

I'm having trouble understanding your hang-up, here. You do understand that people can - and do - already carry concealed at conventions all the time, right? And that in most states they have no legal ability to ban it, right? There's literally nothing that would stop these armies of crazed weebs from packing heat into every convention center, right the fuck now. Which means either A. it's not happening or B. it is, and those filthy dumb weeby scum who actually carry are sane and responsible with their firearms.

>>8275422
>not giving you a test to evaluate whether you'll try to show it off at a convention while dressed as Spike.

Again, if this is so likely to happen, why hasn't it happened already, many times? Guns are fucking expensive. They cost hundreds of dollars. That's on top of the 100 dollar-odd fee required to register for the permit, and the few hundred dollars required for the training course and the ammo. Said training/certification courses are given by private professionals with very little patience for morons or weebs - they're not shy about taking your money and kicking your ass out the door if you're too autistic to follow simple fucking instructions. People managing a shooting range get really picky about simple rules like "don't touch your gun when I'm downrange where your autism could get me killed."

Sneering at us and calling us "gun rights nutjobs" isn't an argument, just you being stuck-up about something you don't understand while you make outrageous claims about something that's already been put to the test. When concealed carry laws were first passed we were treated to doom and gloom stories about the rampant shootings that would take place in bars and stadiums across the nation - these never happened. Concealed carry is here now, and has been for over two damn decades in most places, and yet I've never seen a single /cgl/ con horror story about a crazy weeb who somehow also had a permit and a pistol.

>>8275315
You guess? She looks 13 or 14.

>>8275437
>Okay so NOW it's not the background tests that root out the weeb, it's the fact that gun dealers are great judges of character?

No. I'm just saying it's an additional hurdle the weeb must trip over.

>From Texas

Ad hominem, where art thou?

>>8275457
Weebs are different than general congoers.

>not giving you a test to evaluate whether you'll try to show it off at a convention while dressed as Spike.

What is brandishing?

>>8275466
I'm a particularly bad judge of age.

Maybe if she walked up to me and asked me to guess, I would say 14. But if somebody told me "no actually I'm like 30" I would go "oh okay" and not think twice about it.

Past around 12 it's really a crap-shoot. Everybody's different.

>>8275496
I know that feel

I had a 14-year-old flirt with me once and I really thought she was like 19

then she said she was 14 as a passing mention in the conversation and I ran the fuck away

>Weebs are different than general congoers.

They're still citizens in the eyes of the law. They're still able to apply for carry permits, and purchase pistols if they pass the background check, and all of that. Therefore, if anon's premise is correct (weebs gonna weeb with loaded guns) why isn't it already happening? I mean here we are on /cgl/, home of the con horror thread. We're literally in a con/cosplay horror thread right now. And yet I cannot recall a single instance of anything like

>whether you'll try to show it off at a convention while dressed as Spike

ever being mentioned in those threads. Ever. All the conditions are present already, so the theorized scenario should be here. It isn't. This *is* status quo, right now. So where are the nutty weebs flashing the gats?

What I really don't understand is how the mere idea of ~evil bangshooties~ in a con generates this much upset, to the point of sneering insults and lurid predictions of casual brandishing. I mean, scroll up and read >>8273509 for instance. The guns being brandished in conventions already aren't the metal kind. I doubt very much any CCW permit holder will get in your face over being misgendered or get bitchy over their "preferred pronouns," like in >>8273011 We're not the problem, as these very threads can attest, so why the actual fuck are you gunning for us so hard? Explain yourself.

>>8275268
Nope.
It was a pain in the ass to try fighting the securities too, they weren't going to let me in and report it.
We tried to call my number and someone had already shut it down.

You should write a book

>>8274768
I'm so sorry, Anon....

>>8275506
Do people really get angry if you don't recognize their cosplay but want a picture anyway? That seems a little strange to me.

>>8275514
some people are just too prideful.
They feel like they wasted all this time doing this super obscure cosplay and then bitch that nobody recognises the character.

>>8275499
I go to cons with an older friend and her daughter pretty often. Her daughter is 15, but is very tall for her age and usually likes to hang around with me while going through the vendors hall. Ever since she hit 12 or so people have been assuming she's the same age as me, and that we're both 17-18. It gets really awkward when someone hits on both of us and I have to tell them that no, she's way too young for them and they're way too young for me.

Didn't there used to be cons that gave special color badges to different age groups? Maybe that should become more standard. I mean some minors would still probably try to swap them but it would stop accidental flirting with the ones who aren't.

this is how i feel about people dressed up as characters they don't know, but usually i don't have enough time to talk to people taking pics.

>>8275605
Usually there's an 18+ thing on badges, and being 23 that's all the matters for me.

Too bad I never hit on anybody and nobody ever hits on me.

Yeah this is the anon that brought it up and its never been a thing at any con I've gone to. Some have had a wristband for late night 18+ panels but that's usually not given out until 10pm or later and is just so they don't have to hold up the line checking ID at the door.
