...I thought cosplayers had always been like this fff

I'm more bothered by the spectators than the cosplayer community. They're getting extremely nasty and nitpicky these days

the best and easiest thing to do is to not go to the forums or wherever they concregate

hang with us cool cats instead

honestly? I only find the more entitled, whiny ones from the younger people. Still in their early teens that think are hot stuff

most thankfully grow out of that if they continue the hobby

the ones who make all-pleather saber coats

Well, considering my birthday is around Katsu time and my age at that point, I think I'm just disgusted with teenagers and people older than that who should know better.

I don't go on forums much anymore because it's too much like what I deal with at work.

I think I'm tired of helping cosplayers and am to the point where their failures and fuckups are very entertaining to me.

Probably a terrible attitude for an educator to hold, but whatevs. I do my best to help my students.

ikr TEENAGERS

i look at them and think oh my god was i one of you once

It's like that one gif of older naruto and younger naruto talking...

They should learn through their mistakes. Most teens don't get that. Hell most people my age don't even understand it.

I've been leaving the crowd very slowly for the past two years.

At this point I'm only sticking around for Unkie and everyone else I see at cons that I would otherwise not see.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, though.

I mean... phasing out and stuff

Indeed. I know I'm sort of slowing down and making fewer and fewer new things per year. I basically only go to cons to hang out too. I think Ren Faires and CostumeCon may be more my flavorings.

Damn kids causin' a ruckus!

The weird thing about teens now and thinking back to when I was in my teens, I was nothing like these kids today. My parents would've beaten me multiple times for being so bold, rude, and bratty. I trolled my

parents for a while and did shit I knew was going to annoy them, but it was never disrespectful or mean-spirited. You know, typical teen stuff like listening to music your parents hate, wearing a few stupid

shirts your parents hate. Not getting a haircut, playing electric guitar and keyboard with an amp that's worth far more than the guitar and joining a garage band... silly shit like that.

I guess I just am not used to the disrespect and "diva" behavior since I was never a part of that. It's so unbecoming.

Indeed. :|a

It's weird though, there are some cons I would hate to give up but there again, it's because they're singular events where friends from all over flock to. When else can I see these people?!
