So I went to Colossalcon which was fucking awesome even though my cosplay some how pinched the fuck out of my side which made it hurt for a few days AND I popped my knee out of place like 5 times it was still enjoyable. Anyways, while I was there I've noticed how much I don't fit in with the anime con community anymore. I think I've narrowed down the typical con personality types.
Uber fangirl - These girls get really (sometimes overly) excited about everything. EVERYTHING. They usually hug and/or hump every cosplayer that's dressed as a male character they like. If they're not 18 they'll usually complain about not being able to go to the yaoi panels or purchase yaoi. If they are 18 they keep talking about the yaoi panels and share the new yaoi they purchased. Sometimes they complain about buying yaoi that isn't translated (which let me just say what the fuck are you expecting exactly?) Sometimes they patrol around looking for cosplayers and try to convince them to do a yaoi type pose with someone else who you don't know.
The Quiet Fan - You usually see this type walking around either by themselves or with a couple of friends but the other friends talk and have fun while the quiet one trails behind them. This is ecspecially bad if they're a cosplayer because then it just feels a little awkward to ask for a picture or even talk about their costume. Not because you feel awkward yourself but because they're so awkward it projects onto you.
Artists - Their table is their baby. Don't mess with their table or they'll fuck you up. You can usually meet some pretty cool people at these. They're pretty normal and what not but don't try to make friends with them unless you buy something or are going to buy something. Even after you do that don't hang around their table for more than 5 minutes after buying something (unless you plan on buying something else) because after that they usually start getting annoyed.
Loud ass motherfuckers who try to be cool - I think you pretty much get the idea here but let me put an example up anyways. Nothing is more annoying then someone in a L cosplay saying how they're going to get "so drunk" at the room later. No one gives a shit. Most people at a con plan on getting drunk. It's just how it is, so stop trying to impress everyone yelling about all the cool shit you're gonna do.
That one asshole - This doesn't mean that there's only one asshole at a con I'm just saying there's usually that one asshole that sticks out in your mind. Usually it's a guy and he usually thinks he's too good for the whole con in general. Like he's there just because of his girlfriend or his friends. He pretty much knocks everything con related but he actually does think a lot of things are cool and secretly enjoys the con. Also, after the fact, he secretly thinks about the next con he's going to.
Attention whores - They go in the slutiest costumes they can (anime related or not) and walk around. They act all shy, stupid and quiet when someone compliments them or asks for a picture but on the inside they fucking love it. Sometimes they'll go to their friends and act all offended because someone said something perverted or something to them but in reality they're just trying to show off. I usually see these types around the loud ass motherfuckers who try to be cool or that one asshole. Coincidence? I think not.
Con staff - Listen, having rules is cool for safety and whatever but when you enforce the rules so harshly you become a con nazi that just takes the fun out of the con for everyone.
Gamers - They're there for gaming. They stay in the gameroom like the whole time. That's pretty much all there is to these guys.
So there are some examples of the typical con goers. But then there's me. I don't feel like I fit in to any of these things. I mean I'm an asshole and everything but I'm not "that one asshole"
I dunno I guess I'm just to awesome to be a con stereo type. Well that's works for me.
