THIS... FOREVER. I'm usually a normal congoer (not cosplaying) and where I live the species that most populate cons are an annoying bastard child cluster of Japanophile kawaii desu fangirls that sometimes are even malodorants :l... but lol everything is so true, also with the bondage-fetish poser goths xD
Haha, I cosplay OoT Link and have managed to avoid drama so far. I imagine my time will come. lol: I'm near Birmingham in the UK. Aside from the big Expos, our cons are usually just big social events where we all know each other (about 1500 people max).
