HEY CHICAGO f*ckERS, ARKHAN IS COMING TO TOWN

The way I describe cons now, to be short and sweet:

It's a bunch of a$$holes I don't like, telling me about things I do like, often in an incorrect way.

the cons in the Cleveland/Columbus area are usually lame.  We get dumb guests like Phil Lamar.  Who cares.

Am I right in guessing most modern anime fans are into total weeb/waifu stuff (or sexy cosplay fodder for girls) and not stuff like Vampire Hunter D and Akira?

Mostly, yeah.

I mostly like the cyberpunk/magical girl crap.

Everyone else is like OMFG NARUTOTOTOAUHUUUUHHHH and shit.

Anime cons used to be held at colleges, and were populated by 100 dudes, 8 ladies, most of whom had interesting jobs. Now they're populated by 10,000 dudes and 18,000 ladies, most of whom never set foot in a college and are completely unemployable.

HAhahahaha.  I'm glad I'm not the only person who's a cranky old man about new anime fans.  Some of these people seem like they are actively trying to be a NEET in every way possible.

I dunno if his generalizations are correct, but I LMAO'ed at that as well.

Does Macross count as anime? That's really the only thing I was into.

Meanwhile I mostly watch anime from the 70s-90s.

Exactly. Every now and then I might branch out. But like music, movies and other pop culture...I am firmly entrenched in 50's-80's...

He fancied 16 year old HS girls it turned out.

Who doesn't?

Hermes cares, so f*ck you.
