Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
You'll be fine but probably bitterly disappointed to find out that it's nothing like you remember.
I've seen an age-appropriate Queen Elizabeth cosplayer and a 70 something year old Megumin, among others. You've got nothing to worry about fampai
Unless you try to hit in girls half your age you're fine. Anime cons are reaching normies status. Oldfags aren't getting much side eyes especially if you go to a big one.
>>10906476Early 40s here. Just cosplayed as Goku recently. Due to Toriyama' passing i got asked for hugs a lot and not in a cringe way but more of a nostalgia/respect kinda thing. It never got weird so dont go there people.You do you my fellow cosplayer and enjoy till the very end.
>>10906476>oldfag in his mid 40sKids today call themselves grown-ups.15 years older than you and still cosplaying.Now man the fuck up or shut the fuck up.
>>10906476>Guys, how old is too old?No age is too old as long as you aren't letting your saggy dick/tits hang out of some skimpy costume. But all costhots are disgusting regardless of age.
the only thing cringe is not enjoying something you like because you think you're "too old"
>>10906921Well put.
>>10906476You went in what I consider the golden years so it won't be anything like you remember but cons can still be fun. Cosplaying an age appropriate character especially. I don't think anyone would think you're out of place. The average con age is probably higher now than when we went. Enjoy. Have a good time. I'm not quite as old (mid 30s) but I still enjoy soloing cons. The feeling you get at cons, even with the way the scene has changed (for the worse), it's hard to capture anywhere else.
>>10906476No such thing as too old man, I see plenty of people in their 50s. Plenty of characters to cosplay no matter what age you are.
