What would be a good character to cosplay as to get hugs at cons?
I don't care about sex. I just want affection.
Elisabeth
The Groke
just make one of these weeby free hugs signs
or do some fujoshit cosplay like that twink from black butler
>>9087771
>>9087774
But I wouldn't be able to feel the hugs in mascot outfits
>>9087791
Would hug the shit out of black butler cosplays. Be a qt cosplay with a free hugs sign and get all the affection
Cookie monster. You'll probably also get a lot of cookies.
Bonus point if you equally smell like pastries(parfume).
1a. Get hella shred
or
1b. Go ana
2. Catboy
Optional: go to target-rich environment (eg yaoicon)

What are some well-known catboy characters?

I made the mistake of having this type of thinking at AX. There is no affection to be had. Only sadness

Post a pic of your cosplay.
>>9087647
Baymax?
>>9089361
You don't have to be specific, just be stylish, use makeup, wear cat ears, open a few buttons, collect fujoshit hugs
>>9087647
It's really sad in today's society that OP has to go through all these machinations just do get a hug, some basic human affection and validation for his existence.
I feel your pain, OP. I hope you get all the hugs your heart desires.

This plus a button that says "Hug this Catboi, pls!"
Or yes, cosplay Sebbie or Ciel, whichever fits better. A 'hugs' button is still good though.

Real talk a guy wore this to fanime and he was taking pictures all damn day
Mascot suit is the only thing that will guarantee you hugs. Rilakkuma or Baymax would be a good one.
>>9089416
Please do it OP, also post pictures
>>9089366
maybe you're just not kawaii.
>>9089366
please do cat version of len kagamine.
never got as many hugs as when I was Chopper from One Piece. Admittedly I was like, fourteen at the time but he was and remains a really recognizable and beloved cute character. Had a guy lift me at one point too.
Also, unless it's heavily padded you'll probably still feel the hugs in a mascot suit.

Normally /pol/ is garbage but I found this poster to be rather poignant. It's not accurate in every sense all the time, I disagree with the final paragraph, but
>It's like everyone is in their own separate reality crying to get out.
Really resonated with me.
Internet makes it so easy to connect with people across the world but also makes it so easy for us to withdraw into our own little shells.
Hope you get hugs, OP

Underrated suggestion.

>are you male?
cosplay + free hugs sign
>are you female?
Cosplay + free hugs sign
>Are you lazy?
Just free hugs sign (results in less hugs)
>don't know what to cosplay?
Happy go lucky characters from anime you like or games you like. This one girl cosplayed Shiro from DMWL and I couldn't help but hug her (and take a picture with her). Ahem (being a cute girl does help, but there's nothing more attractive than a genuine smile).
This all being said, if you want genuine affection, there's no quick and easy way to get it. You need to make friends. Best way to make friends is going to panels containing stuff you're interested in and making side conversation about things you're thinking about to people around you that you're interested in. Convert that into a fully fledged conversation after the panel. You can do this same thing if you just happen to see someone cosplaying something you're interested in.
U WAN B MY FRIEN?!

Aren't free hugs signs seen as kind of annoying/pathetic?

I feel like that's just white American/whitewashed people man, they're weird as fuck, they can't help it. I live in socal so we don't get mostly all white towns like I guess you would in like, ohio; but the ones here are always just like stiff or something lowkey even if they're friendly, just like my out of state white friends.

>I'm not like those other yanks!
All Americans are like that, if anything blacks and Hispanics are even worse.

If female, use this sign instead

do Taokaka (blazblue), a Pokemon or some cute masked character (you're more likely to get hugged w/a mask unless you're super tiny/ portray a character rlly well)
& maybe even try dancing or something deemably "cute"
Maybe even dress up as some Jap food
