How would anyone go about speaking to other people, even in dedicated nerd spaces like conventions? I'm not saying people into anime are normalfags, but the social strata of 'weird outcast' and 'outgoing and socially competent' still exist. So attempting to hit on a cosplayer (or just say hello and say her outfit is cool) is like trying to hit on some broad at the bar; she's still in a different caste than you. It just feels like there's an unbridgeable gap.
