When did anime conventions in the west become pride events?
>>10905743well we always had yaoi shitmost of the yaoi lesbians back then would be they/them folx now
>>10905743>cross dressing is a noble tradition of the con >yaoi is super popular >fujos are one of the main demographics >gays are welcome and it's a great place to get your cock sucked by a handsome Goku It's not rocket science anonAlso: a few flags and one table with no one being engaged doesn't mean shit to the grand design of the con. Don't be hysterical like a woman.
>>10905743Roughly 15 years ago autistic straight people discovered the concept of gender identity and slowly started transitioning en masse. Because gender ideology is built on lies, they were told this now made them "gay." Their previous autistic fixations on videogame lore or whatever was supplanted by an autistic fixation on gay culture, which they brought to their local conventions. And because there is such a high proportion of autists (read:troons) at anime conventions, there's also a disproportionate number of people advertising themselves as queer. Proportions of actually gay/bi attendees have stayed the same across the same time period.
>>10905763thiscons were always gay as hell
Cons are full of autistic betas and autistic betas are the most likely to get press-ganged into the LGBT movement.
>>10905842Uh oh looks like someone is trying to make shit up with out knowing anything about anime conventions.
Cons have always been a place for outcasts, queer people have been out casts most of America's life
>one panel = entire eventI hate /pol/ baiters so much
they were always kinda like this because autists are all lgbt. It has just become acceptable to be so shameless about it due to larger social trends
>>10905859Cool false premise
You can see the Flame con logo on the shirt and hat. Flame Con is a queer comic con. As I CIS gender male I wouldn't go to it, but that's because it's not for me. Not everything has to be about CIS people. Why do retards get so upset at queers for existing?
>>10905854I've been going to cons for over a decade and, yeah, most of the LGBT shit comes from autistic (mostly white) people.
Autistic weirdos were always LGBT, but society got way more permssive and laudatory about this stuff
>>10905855they're pandered to shit now so they arent outcasts. it isnt the 1950s anymore
>>10905743liking anime is gayhow are you JUST getting this
>>10905905Neither are anime and comic fans, id say they are more pandered to now than queer people.
Cons on both sides are pride events as well but the only difference is that the gays hooking up at a east side con (read:dragoncon) are exponentially higher
Wokeness has become like a secular form of religion to liberal people. Liberals love wokeness because they have white guilt, and guilt over their privilege (like the privilege of being a straight “cis” person). Since one can’t identify as a different race without considerable social pushback (although there are some people who’ve been caught faking being Native American or Hispanic for woke points), calling yourself “queer” or transgender is an easy way to turn yourself from a privileged oppressor into a marginalized victim (and as a victim you can do no wrong, everything bad that happens is the fault of the evil oppressive patriarchy). So you have a bunch of straight men and women (a lot of men troon out due to porn addiction, incelism, and feeling like they’ve failed at being a man, a lot of women troon out due to sexual trauma and wanting to escape misogyny) who want to feel special, so they call themselves queer and transgender. Vendors at cons will sell whatever makes them the most money, and thus every booth at a con in current year sells rainbow flag and pronoun merchandise. It’s like if we were living in 70 AD Rome, when Christianity was first taking off among the masses - instead of signaling that you’re a member of the new faith with a cross necklace or a Jesus fish symbol, people are wearing rainbow pride stuff to show that they’re a member of the woke faith.
>>10905927Where did you get your degree?
>>10905928I actually do have a BA in religious studies lol
>>10905934Ah that makes sense. You trying to be a priest or something?
>>10905743 fags and yaoi are concore and way better than straight moid coomers and tim tranny freaks
>>10905935No I’m just an autist who likes pondering the mysteries of human behavior. My degree is irrelevant for the job I ended up getting and it’s currently gathering dust in my closet. It seems that its most fruitful use has been musing on the nature of troonism and wokeness on Laotian yodeling forums.
>>10905939Sounds like your job isn't keeping you busy enough if you spend your time bitching about trans people and "wokeness"online.
>>10905939not the only thing in your closet. youre obviously pretty close to going full troon yourself.
>>10905939autistically pondering the mysteries of human behavior is what the autistic queer people are doing too. Two sides of the same coin. Why do some of you people seethe every time you see a rainbow
>>10905743Like within the past 7-8 years. Now cons are even banning any remotely cishet clothing that displays even minorly sexualized women like ahegao print and the like, sure it's cringe but it's fun to have a laugh.
>>10905964Those ahegao hoodies and print merch are genuinely the most cringe-inducing shit on the planet.
>>10905967Everything about liking and dressing up as chinese cartoon characters is cringe. Why not embrace it?
>>10905964That is not true.They openly sell porn at cons, many have hentai amvs, vendors openly sell lewd Loli dakis, and I've seen plenty of cringe ahegao hoodies.You are literally creating a scenario to be mad at.
>>10905970It's Japanese cartoons, nawt Chinese. Fuck China.
Cons have always been gay but now the white queers are profiting from it. I'm gay and Japanese so I'm kinda used to everything being profited to shit.
>>10905996What has China done to you?
>>10905900lol just making shit up huh? gay stuff is all over anime, you fucking tourist.
>>10906025Yeah but it's gay (Japan) vs gay (America). Kawoshin is wholesome and pure.
>>10906025You're being defensive as fuck like most autists are when challenged kek.And no, gay porn and BL shit made for women's sexual gratification is not the same as rainbow flag Amerimutt "LGBT culture." The women in Japan who make and consume that shit do not give a fuck about American gay pride or trans rights or whatever.
>>10906117>gay porn and BL shit made for women's sexual gratification is not the same as rainbow flag Amerimutt "LGBT culture." The women in Japan who make and consume that shit do not give a fuck about American gay pride or trans rights or whatever.This. The term Fujoshi literally means rotten girl. The obsession with BL is the idea of a forbidden love. Nothing about this is about pride or accepting homosexuality.
>>10905768absolutely based summary
>>10905956>>10905943>>10905942Non arguments. LGBT activism needs to die in cons. It is cringe. Get over it.
>>10906117>>10906119Hello tourists. If 4chan is too weird for you maybe you should go back to facebook.
>>10906332You're the only one complaining about it. It's pretty easy to walk by an artist selling a print of Goku holding a pride flag or whatever gay shit they have. It's that easy just keep walking. You honestly don't even need to post shit about it online. But it sounds like you need to get.over some shit.
>>10906351>>10906337isn't the issue more that these tumblr types bring other unnecessary shit to cons? like shitty diversity panels and cultural appropriation bs?
>>10906386I think those types dumped cultural appropriation because it's dumb.There's usually a few panels on "lesbian representation in anime" or whatever. They're usually pretty inoffensive and they aren't mandatory either.
“pride events” and its just 1 or 2 booths in the exhibit halls
Despite crossdressing most of the cons I've been to, I have no interest in drag queen guests and think they should fuck off from anime cons.Don't care much about gay tables tho. Tacky and usually ugly, but whatever. It's a small part that I'd rather see over some gay car insurance/ credit card/ unrelated ad shit table
Those dudes sure are enthusiastic about letting everyone know that they fuck members of the same sex. I don't get it personally (displaying your sexual preferences loudly and proudly for all to see) I haven't got a problem with it, I just don't get it. Like.>Look look! Look at this flag!! You know what THAT means?>You're a dude that likes to fuck other dudes? ...cool man...
>>10906541It's almost like it was illegal for couple hundred years in North America or something.
>>10906550it never was, but you would get judged a little harshly if found out
>>10906552gay sex wasn't even a legally protected action until 2003 in lawrence vs texas. oldfags have been going to conventions since long before that.
>>10906556not being legally protected doesn't mean illegal
>>10906003They took Genshin Impact rolls from us and it has never been the same.
I wish irl was like my animu and everything was over dramatic. that way the gay booth guys and the army booth guys would be at each other’s throat (or in each other’s throat) trying to recruit people.
>>10906557Eating cereal with water instead of milk isn't legally protected. I need a month, flag and a parade about it.
>>10906568So what you are saying is that you want them sucking and fucking in public to a nice backing instrumental track?
>>10906574that part was a joke I ain’t no stinky fujoshi. but if I was working a booth I’d be screaming out catchy slogans like I was selling counterfeit goods at the night market while side eyeing my compilation. “Come (out of the closet) and join our booth!” “Don’t join those guy and dress like a dweeb. Join us and look fabulous.” I’d probably google some better stuff to shout out but you get the point
>>10906557Every state banned sodomy, while most states have repealed them some states still have it in their laws even though it's unconstitutional and now unenforced.It's not a hard thing to Google.There were also federal laws regarding it
ive never been to a con before. considering going to one. what can i expect other than the obvious lack of social skills and personal hygiene. pic unrel.
>>10906667>r*ddit spacingI fucking hate 2016 election tourists so much. Go back.
>>10906681god forbid you make your long reply readable
>>10906681Cry more.
>>10906667Please look up stonewall and what actually led to gay rights existing, police were actively raiding and violently assaulting gay people. If you don't know anything about the movement you can just say so. Your personal distaste doesn't equate to a lack of necessity.
>>10906699I think this is the first time I've ever seen a text-only reply get straight up deleted on /cgl/ Like, Im kinda surprised lol. Like I've seen pics or like dox stuff deleted. But someone's opinion just discarded lmao
>>10906702probably got removed for being off topic. I don't know why people are so embarrassed to admit nerd culture has always been an outcast culture until only fairly recently- especially with the satanic panic- so of course marginalized people will be a part of it as well and want to feel welcomed. There might be a tendency for corporate to water down these ideas and make it hot white guy with glasses who's "just a little quirky" but I seriously don't like seeing it amongst our own. You're all autistic as fuck and you know it. I am too. Normies don't discriminate and absolutely see you fucks in the same light but you think you're better because at least you're not "degenerate" or some retard shit.
>>10906702Also just some of the dumbest shit I've read. Like the dude was too fucking dumb to even be too hateful.
>>10905743Always have been a den of faggoty
>>10905768An actual factual unironic sperg made this assessment.
>>10905768Based
I'm in a wheelchair, but want to participate in larping. especially combat. Any tips/ideas?
>>10905743same time that going outside in (((the west))) became a pride event
>>10905855It is more socially unacceptable to be homophobic (or just far-right in general) than gay in the West. You literally have pride parades at the White House and yet somehow you're "outcasts".
Gay people are ok but trannies/gendies are cringe and need to fuck off, but they're fun to piss off when you pretend to be "one of them" and out them or talk shit about them lol. Like troons are really really aggressive on the net but they don't do shit irl when you confront them.Also idk I saw a parent shushing away some autistic preteen from buying a pride pin and it was based, not only for the usual reasons but there's people that like to put scalping prices on pride pins cuz idiots will pay big bucks for them.
>>10905763>>10905768It’s both.There’s always been gay ass shit like yaoi and handsome goku to suck you off but now it’s ULTRA gay because of the autists.
