Upplägget är mer eller mindre som en standard mässa. Större delen av utrymmet är täckt från topp till tå av av bås som säljer grejer, förutom ett bås där det sker live podcasts då och då.
Om du bara ska gå som en casual besökare och inte cosplayer, så rekommenderar jag att du kollar vilka gäster som kommer och schemat för aktiviteter. Det är väldigt värt det om man har ett fast mål för vad man vill göra där (tyckte Mads Mickelsens Q&A för några år sedan var väldigt rolig) eller har barn, men vill man bara gå för sakens skull så är det inte riktigt värt det imo för då är man vanligtvis rätt klar med eventet inom max 3 timmar vilket inte är värt biljettpriset.

Har hört för många som klagar på att comic con bara är extremt giriga vilket betyder att allt är dyrt och det fick mig att inte vilja gå. Iirc tar de mer betalt för biljetter ju längre du väntar med att köpa, vilket jag tycker är en vidrig taktik. Man ska inte behöva impulsköpa biljett ett halvår tidigare för att få ett rimligt pris och man ska inte bli straffad för att man köper biljett så "sent" som samma månad när det uppenbarligen finns biljetter kvar.

Förutom det är jag lite lockad av comic con för att det känns som det är lite mer mainstream och lite mer riktat mot vuxna. Närcon (som är det enda jag kan jämföra med) är en sån pedofest att det skulle vara skönt att slippa den delen. Samt att comic con globalt/allmänt har lite bättre rykte och har riktiga kändisar tex stora internationella skådespelare. Närcon har typ bara svenska youtubers som inte ens är relaterade till konventet, och någon enstaka japansk d-kändis som ingen någonsin hört om men vi förväntas vara imponerade av enbart för att de är från det heliga weeb landet Japan.

Is it weird that I feel bad for female employees at närcon? They work for a dude who wanted to fuck other women than his wife so he's now "poly" with girlfriends as well. And they've been memes into thinking that's not an abusive toxic relationship. No wonder their male staff is basically all just pedos and sex pests. I'd be so ashamed to ever have been associated with närcon if I were them

>>2229874
Said dude is also so narcissistic that he held a lecture about his own depression at his own event kek I think he even did it for a couple of years, but I might remember that part wrong.

>>2229904
Oh my GOD I would have loved to go to that with my friend so we could laugh about it afterwards! That's so pathetically hilariously bad!

Also just noticed all the lost images came back to the thread! Yay!

>>2229810
To be fair it's kind of easy to hate the girls Onion fixates on because there is over a decade of documented predatory habits and mentally ill girls he's crossed state lines to fuck legally. Sarah's not ugly either but I get the frustration with her retarded hot and cold bullshit with groomer Lainey.

>>2229677
addy was a lot milkier when her thread was first made, but because she actively reads and participates on here she learned how to shut the fuck up (other than responding to the occasional post calling her fat/ugly by posting some shooped selfie) the milk was destined to stop

>>2229842
And her makeup STILL looks like shit despite obviously changing it because nonas were shitting on it

>>2229957
Nta, but I think she tried to adjust it for Halloween. Not everything she does is a 1 for 1 because of the thread. She knows it exists, but I feel like that's a reach.

>>2229056
Yeah, it's a touch too cool toned for her, but I think it looks so much better than the MAGA blonde she had going on. I love that shade of blonde on some ladies, but it made Heather look frumpy and older to me. I think darker suits her better.

>>2229959
I don't really think sex offenders are known for being attractive

>>2229952
it's the same with Italian men, an immigrant assaults a woman everyone is outraged but when it's an Italian man it didn't happen, the woman was asking for it, she shouldn't have been out that late, it's not that serious of a crime, he's a good guy who just made a mistake etc etc

>>2229964
It’s because they see women as property. That’s all it is. They’re not even empathizing with the women. They see it as their car getting hit by someone else. Only they get to wreck their car.

>>2229952
Where I am they're slow to give details after murders or serious assaults are reported in the news, sometimes it's because an immigrant did it and they don't want to start a new riot about immigrants. Soon as some shit happens men will freak tf out about how horrific the crime was but if the person is finally named and oh wait it's not a foreign name and it was just slow reporting.. Men shut up and stop caring so fast. They do not give one fuck about women or kids dying at the hands of a man as long as he was born and bred here

Retarded customers who knock or bang on the door, try to yank it open with all their strength when the lights are off and the door is clearly locked. I especially hate it when they stand right in front and wait for them to leave before I open. It enrages me so much it makes me want to alog.

His account is apparently satire. I haven't looked at the account myself, but all of the discussion that comes up from googling "edward henry davis" says that it is.

don't know why this woman thought it was a good idea to upload a video with both
1) her not paying attention to her infant children while she's in the shower
2) her taking a shower together with her infant son
just weird

>>2229973
Showering with your young children is normal childfree chan

>>2229978
no it's not rofl and its certainly not normal to put baity shit like this for pedophiles on youtube.

>>2229983
There is no nudity in the vid at all? I do agree baby shouldn't have have been left on the bed alone. I didn't see a pet/baby ramp next to the bed like for a small dog so thats a big fall for jr

Coffee does nothing for me but give me a racing heart. I still feel sluggish and tired after drinking it. I also realized that black tea has caffeine and I drank a lot of sweet tea as a child so I heightened my tolerance to caffeine.

reread my post that's exactly what i'm saying

Behold the saga of the woman whose boyfriend snuck off and bought a >$90k truck right before they moved in together, after she took on a second job to pay 50/50 of the established bills.
https://www.reddit.com/r/BORUpdates/comments/1g128uv/final_update_i_posted_a_few_months_ago_about/
Butthurt retards showed up in the original comments to baby and defend the poor confused boyfriend against all the mean man haters who would falsely assume the worst about him. But then the further updates show that all the naysayers 100% correct.

>>2229930
Thought this was that aella libertarian girl for a sec

So damn cringe

KEEEEKKKKKK how is this even possible?

Why post depressing shit on a happy thread?

>>2229933
Why bring that SCUM up in this thread of all threads

>>2229989
Because someone posted racist shit in this thread of all threads?

>>2229992
I don’t think that is the same level as a literal child rapist/murderer

>>2229996
Wdym? The implication is black people bad. It's just ironic considering what white men get up to, and that's all I was pointing out.

>>2228919
>what even is the point of this handmaiden behaviour on an app that's clearly made for left wing people
You just answered your own question anon kek

>>2227954
>[TIFs]' existence makes a mockery of [TERFs]' talking points
I wish he/she would expand on that. Which talking points exactly? The one about fairness in sports? The one about male troons retaining male pattern criminality? The one about children not being able to consent to surgery/HRT? Which talking point is destroyed by a woman successfully tricking others into thinking she's male?

Thank you for the detailed explanation nona! I'm happy for you that you peaked your bf and I'm working on doing the same. Luckily my bf is a normie so he's barely even heard of troons, so far it's been easy to here and there point out their cult like and gross behaviors when I see it. So far he's reaction has just been to casually agree.

I'm actually having a harder time peaking my dad, not because he buys into troon stuff but because he believes I'm making it all up and it's not even happening in the first place. I think it would take him meeting an actual troon for things to click into place that it's real.

The absolute best peaking attempt reaction I've had was my own brother. He's an autist so I was fearing the worst, that he'd eventually end up trooning out… Turns out he had already peaked on his own without me knowing! So we both just ended up bonding over how insane troonism is.

>>2228433
Not fully yet but I'm in the process of peaking my boyfriend. Starting from a sympathetic standpoint works pretty well. One time there were some leaked DMs from some dumb Youtube drama where someone said that he didn't think transitioning was a good idea because it's living a lie, so I sent it to him and said something like "I agree with this. I see people get frustrated and say they'll never be the opposite sex, but instead of constantly changing themselves, why not push the message of self acceptance instead?". That's a good way of testing the waters because if the person does disagree with you, they usually won't go apeshit and will just assume you're NOT EDUCATED ON TRANNY ISSUES!! or something. He reacted pretty well to me saying that and ended up agreeing with my points. After that whenever some trans related issue pops up in conversation with him I just tell him my honest thoughts on it, for example, I've told him about the horrifying sexual reconstruction procedures and when JKR is mentioned I tell him about her actual thoughts on the topic instead of saying "she's bad" and nothing else. Unfortunately I do think he's in the majority of people who support trans people out of naivety rather than being an avid TRA, so while setting the seeds of doubt in him specifically was pretty easy, I'm sure it'll be harder with some other people. I should mention that my boyfriend is very apolitical in general and has a very "live and let live" attitude towards others. (Anecdote, but as gross as it sounds it was so relieving when I told him that it was disgusting knowing that women are getting pregnant in UK prisons and he instantly responded with a "what the fuck" when so many other people I know will die on the hill that troons belong in women's spaces. Nice to know he's sane.)

>>2227759
>I only found out about radical feminism when I reached peak trans and suddenly everything clicked into place. I never identified with ‘feminism’ before that because the only kind I was familiar with just felt like a whole lot of effort to appeal to men, on top of having to do everything men also do.
NTA but I definitely understand this feeling. I actually considered myself an anti-feminist and went through a cringe anti-sjw phase before finding radical feminism in my late twenties. When I did find it, and read theory, I realised that my gripe with feminism was limited to the SJW feminism of the 2010s. It's wreaked such havoc on women at this point I'm convinced buzzfeed feminism was specifically planted by the government to divide us as women, kek.

>>2228433
I've made some comments up thread about this. I wouldn't say I've necessarily peaked anyone, but rather I just gave friends the space to talk about these things openly with me. I'm not out here to change minds, but helping women realise their feelings are real, that yeah troons are kinda weird and creepy, can be a weight off their shoulders. In my other comment I mentioned that the best way to go is to deconstruct their ideas the way you deconstruct people in religious cults. Be curious and understanding, keep your tone even and open, ask them questions. Lots of questions. Ask so many questions before you feel you've hooked them, then you offer the subtle suggestions. These don't happen over a single conversation, they happen over many of them. The main thing you need is patience and empathy. People don't want to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves, or believe what they had believed was wrong, and when you come at them with judgement it's only going to further reinforce that. You need to allow them a safe place to come to these ideas on their own. This is also how I guess, I know I'm on the right side of things. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything, I'm just allowing them to unlearn it.

Nonnies what country should I work towards that isn't going to go full nazi in 5 years? I don't think Europe is safe for us kek it doesn't matter if I don't present as a muslim I am still lumped in with the other retards because I look like your average middle eastern woman. North America is hard to get to and I don't plan on marrying a moid from there and depending on him to give me residence. I was thinking somewhere in Asia where they don't care about religion and the racism will mostly just be dirty looks and not hatecrimes. At this point anywhere but this shithole region is an upgrade but I still want to find somewhere peaceful so that I can forget about my time here

>>2227514
I agree with your views on Europe, but as for asian countries, many of the communists in my country fled to china, also which region do you come from?

>>2227519
I have China on my list but I'm worried the language barrier would make it hard to work there. I don't know if I should commit to learning Chinese yet.
>which region do you come from?
That's the thing it doesn't matter kek. I have very obvious Arab features and even though my country's immigrants don't have a bad rep like Syrians or people from the Maghreb in the eyes of everyone I'm just like them. I don't want to have to explain to every person I see that I'm not a terrorist, or be regarded as 'one of the good ones'.

>>2229811
Tbh from what you see on social media, the chinese seem super chill as long as you're good looking, kek. The problem arises with the fact that in the case you decide it's not china, you'll have learnt a language that cannot be used anywhere else. You could possibly look at singapore since it's a relatively safe and well off country and their main language is english, and they have a number of foreigners working and living there as well.

>>2229811
There might be hope, maybe some nationalist dictator takes over your country and crushes the Islamists
