What the fuck gives? I'm sobering up at the airport right now and looking back this just makes me more pissed off I stopped doing cons because everyone was saying "25 is too old for cosplay" and covid kinda solidified that. I don't get how he wasn't seen as a creep or divorced dad. Are women and zoomers actually this fucking stupid? Why should some faggot who is 36 get more attention than people who aren't giant faggot shitposters. He's too old right?

>starts story with be me

baka dummy bait thread!

>>10955092
be me is a meme you newfag

also this is too close to reality to be bait it might be bait but I know people exactly like OP. the thing op is the faggot for is not realizing personality is key. you can have the best cosplay in the world but if you're an insufferable jerk it doesn't matter. same goes for bad cross play you can have terrible temu cosplay but a good personality and be the star. no one actually cares about how old you are as long as you aren't grabby or weird, this isn't highschool. I've seen a 40 year old built omniman have college girls try to chat him up

Jesus Christ you’re getting what you fucking deserve. You put effort into cosplay that isn’t some obscure retarded shit or very visibly low effort and I PROMISE you people will notice. Take the armor pill, build something worthwhile and stop being such a whiny and self important faggot. Don’t like the attention you’re NOT getting? Do something about it then

OP here

This isn't bait I legitimately thought giving up cosplay and doing one last hurrah. AFO was such a waste of time it makes me sad, my dexters lab outfit was confused with meme man dr pepper shit. It's again just odd to me how many people defend older cosplayers, AGE IS A FACTOR. I just don't get how some eccentric person could get people to like him. It's not good to be eccentric.

He didn't even try to do his cosplay right (forgetting to shave, slapping it together in 5 minutes with his fat ass out, doing bloody mary's in the morning) and it kinda pissed the room off. You can't seriously think you're strong when you barely have anything resembling a 6pack.

>>10955097
>Friend doing political meme cosplay in a time where that shit can get you cancelled
Dude we were in Florida, people HATE trump there (reading the discord anyways)so we thought it would be an easy win to get some room party stuff by doing it. We don't hate trump or care about politics all that much but it's what all the femanons are on so worth a shot.

Lesson learned if /cgl/ says it's one way do the opposite this thread is proof. Cons were fun but after 30 that seems to be the dead stop hard limit for anyone with a functional brain.

Maybe it took on a new meaning, but eccentric usually means someone who is creative or "off the wall" with whatever situation they are in, usually thrown around in comedy. It sounds like your "friend" wasn't taking things too seriously and was chill which lead him to be socially accepted by others.
>it's what all the femanons are on so worth a shot.
Have a free (You) this isn't bait, this is the average gull incel who is terminally online and needing to do whatever to be a clout chaser. I hope this thread stays up so we can laugh at (you)

Now you know how female cosplayers feel about costhots.

cosplay is a lot of fun when you decide to give zero fucks

>>10955089 (OP)
>He's too old right?

He's not, but you are. Because you decide how old is too old and nobody else.

>>10955099
It didn’t seem like he pissed the room off if girls were flirting with him and greeting him.
>my friend was doing a TACO meme
>Dude we were in Florida, people HATE trump there

You gotta be trolling if you think people hate Trump in Florida lol. That’s his home base

>Cons were fun but after 30 that seems to be the dead stop hard limit for anyone with a functional brain.

You say this and yet that 36 year old guy was the life of the party. It’s probably also because no one recognized your cosplays too

Cancelling isn't real. Touch grass

>>10955320
If OP wants to make cosplay friends he needs to play by the communities rules. I also agree that canceling isn’t really “real” in an irl sense especially if you have a cosplay crew of your own already who has an actual sense of humor that isn’t hugbox af but it sounds like OP (who is a faggot) doesn’t have that luxury


Faggot

>>10955099

OP have you considered that you don’t get it, precisely because you’re overly concerned about what he is doing? You deserve the experience you got because you centered what he was doing rather than focusing on yourself. Being eccentric isn’t the crime you think it is, you’re just paralyzed by cringe culture and as a result ended up being socially retarded anyway.

Consider that just maybe you’ve been the bigger faggot in this situation. Learn to let it go or quit cosplay because you’ll keep running into this same miserable situation and running back to /cgl/.

>>10955320
What makes his goofy non-argument even funnier is this took place in Orlando. Their scene is full of openly edgy tacticool bros

>>10955089 (OP)
maybe that guy gets attention precisely because he doesn't give a fuck about what others think about him, while you do
>people are gonna think I'm too old to cosplay!!

>>10955099
>You can't seriously think you're strong when you barely have anything resembling a 6pack.
The people who are quite strong in functional strength rarely do have a full six pack. Anyone can get a six pack if they are willing to do sit-ups and planks daily while maintaining a low BF %. To hit natty huge muscles and the hugh jackman sixpack it requires an insanely strict diet no weeb is going to follow.

You have no idea how little effort it takes to get peoples attention when it comes to physical fitness. Especially these days when I see early to mid 20 y/o's looking like absolute shit.

>>10955089 (OP)

So you cosplayed something no one gives a fuck about and are surprised no one gave a fuck about it. Not understanding the confusion here

I don't understand what went wrong!?!?!?!?! I'm 29 I'm to old for having fun at cons!!!

>cgl told you you where to old to cosplay.
>Went to con.
>Everyone ignores you because you are told old.

where was the lie again? They told you that because it applies to you. Just because rules don't apply to someone else doesn't make them less true, and just because rules don't apply to you doesn't make it less true either.

>too old
Been a lie and always was a lie. I've been doing and improving my tacticool SCP cosplay for 3 years now, turning 30 this year, meaning I started well after 25. I made a couple good cosplay friends and at large cons I get asked for pics constantly. I also chat with people a lot, I can be in character well. Pull that stick out your ass and try to have some fun.

these are turbo roasties, and thise like older men, most girls do in general
also
>re-living highschool trauma at the con
sad 2bh, you're not alone

I'd rather be around a late 30's guy who knows how to party and have fun than some idiot in their 20's doomscrolling and talking like an incel. Age doesn't matter at cons until you try soliciting numbers from girls half your age.

if you start your greentext with
>be me
kill yourself
the pronouns used would already tell us you're talking in a first person perspective

>>10955089 (OP)
Honestly OP, thanks for sharing. I don't even cosplay or go to cons, I was just browsing this board by chance, but I'm going on a vacation soon (I'm 27) and I feel like I'm getting old, but this just tells me I need to stop acting like a sad sack of shit and stop caring so much every time someone gives me a dirty look. I feel reinvigorated.
