For some odd reason, I'm still into cosplay despite my lack of skill level and courage. I swore off Anime Central six years ago because every single person laughed at me when I tried to refute Trevor Muller for his immature and unprofessional behavior at one of his panels. I don't care how much the fandom is hated, or how many flames you get. You first of all, READ THE SOURCE MATERIAL, and secondly, don't gratuitously scapegoat or stereotype the people who are into it just to get the crowd riled up. Needless to say, I won't be reading any of his shitty comics. What a guest of dishonor. The environment of ACen in general is filled with snobbery and schaudenfreude. The only reason why it survives now is because of the rave. No relevant industry guests go there anymore, just DJs. And raves invite drunk, creepy people.
And even though I had a better time at Anime Midwest, I won't be going there or Con + Alt + Delete or any other conventions run by Ryan Kopf. He's like the Donald Trump of convention owners. That guy has a terrible reputation and his criminal record has probably increased to this day, but he keeps on covering it up. Don't believe me? Just look here. Ryan Kopf | Nerd & Tie There are plenty of other sources, but this one is the most recent.
And Kollision Con is in the same exact place, but more boring, disorganized, run by a douchebag, and they screwed up my panel description.
Why are all the conventions in my home state run by such arrogant morons?
I wanted to go to Tekko because of their attractive anti-bullying/anti-harassment policy, and their Lolita events, but that's out. It's all the way in Pittsburgh. I can't save up $90 each month right now and stay there comfortably.
So, which conventions would you personally recommend, or not reccommend? I prefer small environments to huge conventions. Hopefully with a good community with as little snobbery as possible. I don't care how far I have to travel. As long as I can save up $90 from December every month and stay comfortably, I'm fine. Also, I'm usually alone when I go.
