I've been to cons a few times, but only saw a few people as bad as that. It's the hardcore video gamers that you have to watch out for, they're more obnoxious and bathe far less than the anime otaku. Though to be fair, they usually stay in one place.

This will only be embarassing to me if I know the person dressed like that at Otakon this year. Otherwise I will attempt to ignore them, should I actually see one.
Still, I wasn't sure how to laugh at this comic (don't get me wrong, it is hilarious), but should it be a "laugh out loud" type or should it be the type that kinda "evolves into soft sobbing" type? Kevin seems to think the latter, can't blame him. |

Community? Nah, forget that. Just because I might enjoy pizza doesn't mean I have to like or even tolerate the existence of a fat slob going "Mm, I love pizza. I love Italy, period! The Pope. ACORDIANS-gamesh! Ah, the mafia! Hurf durf."
I downright loathe most kawaii-desu-ne fans because they're idiots, and should be hated. I go to cons, and I feel that their actions are usually expected, if not celebrated; it's a serious drag to the whole experience. |

As soon as I saw the paddle I wanted to save Kevin while yelling "NOOOO" in slow-motion. And it's fine if people want to where something but make sure it goes together. The girl probably bought a bunch of stuff in the dealer's room, which is fine, but where one thing at a time. Cons are multiple days, so you can change several times.

Fox tails and cat ears? The cat ears might be one thing, but with the tails, it sounds like it might not be too far off from people wearing full-blown fursuits with conveniently placed flaps to anime conventions. (Do people at cons REALLY run around with those yaoi paddles and act like weeaboos?)

Don't go for her... go for someone like me: streaked hair (not for anime... for fun), anime t-shirt, anime carrier bag and maybe cat ears or Naruto headband. My look says "I'm an anime fan... I'm crazy but sane enoguh to be funtioniung person"

Silly Kevin. A gathering of people with intolerable behaviors is not a "community", it's a social deathtrap of communication breakdown. So GET A GRIP!
A community this is not... A community this is not... They are breaking down social orders while invading the anime fandom. ... Not community!

if this is supposed to be a wise crack (no pun intended to Kevin's injury) about what some con goers are like then I'm really glad I can't afford to go to any cons, I'd go postal on someones ass if they whacked me without warning or reason

Reason why Yaoi Paddles (or any paddles) have been banned from Anime Expo. They're just asking to be swung.
Also...where's our candy-crapping mascot? Last edited by Asrialys on Wed Apr 22, 2009 9:18 am; edited 1 time in total |

Well, if you spend a couple hours on Dance Dance Revolution, you are going to smell pretty ripe, even if you bathed in the morning. |

Nope, you didn't get it correctly, although for those who can't read Japanese it could be a (barely) reasonable pun. |
