Freaks, Ahoi!
Did you ever visit one of those anime/ manga-conventions outside of Japan? If not, you better continue to stay far, far away from them in case you can't familiarize with odd peeps in general... well, at least that applies to Germany/ Europe. While these guys and girls are completely harmless as well as mostly very kind and open, they always creep me out big time whenever I see them. This is no bashing or something, I just can't get along with some of their weird/ embarrassing behaviors. It's okay to like Japan... after all, they totally dominate the world's gross national weirdness. I guess we can all agree that Japan is indeed kick ass! But addressing none-Japanese-people by Japanese names or throwing phrases and words in that language at each other all the time, w/o actually speaking it... that's just lame. And stop calling everything "cool" or "cute" just because it's from Japan. Seriously you guys, I could make money from you just from shitting in a bag and writing something Japanese on it. Face it: most of you are NOT JAPANESE, start growing some own national pride. Being cultural interested is always an awesome thing - being completely obsessed by it however, is not!
Also, let me have a word on the matter of cosplay here. This may appear a little shallow but the thing I noticed is, that many people do it without consideration of their own look. They just dress up for "fun" and "affection" for their favorite character. Okay, if you guys take so much fun in it, so be it. But pleeeeease, don't go public with a intentional sexy-cosplay (close to none body cover) when you weight 120 Kilogram or so. Absolutely NOBODY wants to see this, it's in no way appealing - just purely shocking! Oh, and it's okay to buy a costume if you don't have the skills to make it on your own. Everything is better than looking like you wear a goddamn potato-sack, really. And finally, let me say this: put some shoes on when you walk outside or in public places, being barefooted there (even if your cosplay should "require" it) is nothing but frigging nasty!
