Twerking is such a tired teenage girl joke, holy shit. I'd rather sea "LOLDEADPOOLS" rather than "LOLTWERKING"

Brings me to
>Unfavorite: random dancing (such as in masquerade skits)
>Favorite: asking (ASKING) for hugs (its literally the only environment where you can do this and not seem like a mugger)

The worst things about this one is when this happens in the middle of a crowded hallway, and, in the case of masq skits, when the dance just keeps going on. Just because they say you have 3 min of time on stage, doesn't mean you need to use every fucking second of that time!

>unfavorite: that huge, loud and obnoxious group of cosplayers. example: homestuck cosplayers ages 13-17 that dont seal their damn bodypaint.
>favorite: pun/joke cosplays have a special place in my heart

>favorite
When people get super stoked about your outfit or cosplay and want to take a picture WITH you, not OF you!
>least favorite
When people of the same sex kiss for attention
When good cosplayers are total snobs when you compliment them on their outfit or prop

I was at a con a few years back and there was this amazing Harley Quinn cosplayer with a GIANT ass mallet. I had just finished volunteering for the con for 10 hours and ran into her and told her her cosplay was badass. She just rolled her eyes and kept walking. I'll always remember that, and I'll always remember her. Doesn't help that we're a small community here and she dresses up as the same characters every chance she gets.

It's technically only illegal if you get caught, you know.

>Favorite: Hugs. Yeah I love those, especially from other girls!
>Unfavorite: Expensive/disgusting con food.
I'm not picky but when the price =/= taste I want to weep. I bring my own food/snacks anyways but I wish there were better food stands at conventions.
Have any of you ever had a good experience with convention food? Or cons located around good restaurants?

[Dr Basics No.8677509]

>Favorite: Meeting other strangers who cosplay from the same anime/game you did and becoming con friends and doing group photos now.

>Shit I Hate: People cosplaying a character just to show off body but they have no fucking clue about the character they are cosplaying.

Oh man that's my favorite too. There's just something about someone actually wanting to be in the picture with you that just makes me happy. My first con me and my bf wore not so great Touhou cosplays but this adorable little girl just lost her shit over our cosplays and got her dad to take a picture with us. It really made my con. Another time more recently some guy came up and wanted to take a selfie with me. I kinda wish I could have seen that picture I'll bet it looked pretty cool because he was wearing a pretty good Snake cosplay. I think. I may be wrong though I've never played those games. Either way he looked great.

>Favorite
The idea that any time at any moment you can be pulled into some random con shenanigans with complete strangers and have the time of your life.

>Unfavorite
People that treat a con like going to a theme park or mall and just passively take in the sights as oppose to contributing to the positive atmosphere

Favourites:
>embarrassing weeb dances, no, seriously, they are awful but fun, especially when you're not taking it seriously
>small children liking your cosplay/cosplaying themselves

Unfavourites:
>some knobhead doing something obnoxious because it's "in character"

Awww little kids are the cutest! They have such a genuine excitement when it comes to seeing cosplayers. Makes me so happy inside. I personally dislike wearing cosplay. I did a Misa cosplay one year, never again. I had a bad experience where 2 random chicks followed me into the bathroom because they didn't want to "lose me" so they could take my picture. Awkward.
But I get a similar Aww experience from little girls when I wear lolita, and that's an awesome feeling too!

I once went to a con where the masquerade had no time limit. A duo had a SIX minutes skit of various retarded meme dances and inside jokes. One more minute and I would have shoved my pen into my skull to free myself from that horror, I swear.

I've wanted to get a picture a bunch of times with cosplayers but I just thought it would be weird so I never bothered asking.

Especially when they break the hotel's shit and get everyone in trouble. Cons shouldn't even have raves.
