N. Senada posted:You guys like VIDEO GAMES and MUSICALS and DISNEY and FINAL FANTASY? This is from a couple pages ago, but it brought up a thing I keep seeing fandoms do, where they slap the word "parody" on anything as a free pass for "we don't own any rights or have any continuity to the source material but it's respectable because". Usually for a parody you need some kind of, you know, satire. In the fandom crowd, "Parody" is almost considered to mean "copied but in my style".

Jerry Cotton posted:A train car isn't indoors. Aagh I thought it was the interior of a little chapel because of her mourning clothes and the bench seat. Content: This guy drummed for the Beatles at the height of Beatlemania while Ringo was in the hospital and there were booked gigs in Australia that HAD to go on. The artificial superfame affected him just as you'd expect it to, he was immediately forgotten and went bankrupt and now hides from the public.

ACTION AMERICAN posted:I'm a bit behind, but these guys are the ones that annoy me the most. They're just so smug about something they know nothing about. Having a hat doesn't give you class. In fact, you putting on a rediculous outfit with the sole purpose of looking different is no different from "swag" (god I hate that word.) Somebody amassed a bunch of these pictures in an earlier iteration of this thread and it became obvious that the photos are authentic, but someone else added the same text to each one as some kind of troll. I don't know why someone would bother doing that; it seems like wasted effort trying to make fedora-wearers look bad.

Something tells me this guy could be really fun to hang around with. He has comical proportions, but he's way better groomed than your normal ugly-fare and (presumably) knows how to work an analog synthesizer. Or it's a fat nerd being photographed by his mother on a trip to the moog museum. We may never know.

The Pride festival thing is today and while that isn't awkward at all and it's something I support, the awkward part is how every Homestuck in the north-west is taking it as an excuse to wear Homstuck cosplay. To these guys, every public event is an excuse to show off the ol Homestuck cosplay. Gay pride restival, Japanese heritage festival, everything, no matter how entirely unrelated, they just swarm it. So I guess at this point Homestuck is like Naruto for white people.

That OK cupid is pretty transparently fake unless you want to believe a teenager who watches MLP makes $40k-50k a year. It intentionally goes out of its way to hit a different square of the bingo card with each paragraph. And I'm going to blow your mind by suggesting the photograph might not be the same guy that made the post.

My brother's a brony. I was visiting my parents and went upstairs to say hi to him (he is 20 and still lives with them) and saw a rainbow dash hat with a long trailing mane thing and I said "why do you have a pony hat" and he said his "girlfriend" left it there. I asked Mom in private and she told me she's never seen this phantom girlfriend. Either way I gave him the benefit of the doubt and when I visited a few months later, there were now pony figurines lining his desk, and I found the same old hat PLUS some unicorn baseball cap with a big obnoxious horn hastily hidden in the minifridge. He kept his fedora in the open though. Oh, WELL.

Today I got a red flag from a girl I've been dating for a couple months. While I was at work today, she was doing volunteer work at Comicon and texted me:My friend posted:I might buy a legit loving katana, they're only $30 holy poo poo Now, being at work and unable to answer the text in depth, I was only able to quickly punch back out of my peripheral vision "They aren't legit." But please, since I don't have any immediate sources or stories, can you guys give me at least a few points to bring up to help her understand that they are NOT "legit katanas" and just 2¢ pieces of prop metal mass produced to exploit weeaboos? Normally she's pretty smart about navigating the pitfalls of pop culture, and we make fun of bronies/Homestucks/the like together, so this one came totally out of left field.

Got it. Buying a katana from Comicon is equivalent to buying and framing an "authentic" NES zapper from a United States Civil War Convention.Zedd posted:I'm not even going to watch these video's, but I sure hope those..things...aren't natural. Being born with that size would have to seriously suck. There's a fairly large and flourishing community that fetishizhes boobs expanding to preposterous size. She's literally taking donated money from these people to get doctors to keep making her breasts bigger with expandable implants and re-enact their fantasy IRL. She even points it out in her blog's description.

This weekend is Sakuracon in Seattle. I have a pass (mostly to tend the Rock Band 3 stage and some busking, I hate anime). I've heard about how phenomenally awkward convention "raves" are and this year I think I'm going to pull a Jane Goodall and enter the rave with a camera looking for some distilled awkward for Youtube/this thread. Pray for me, goons.

^^You were the 400-pound guy that walks into the conga line, right? Here's some other stuff I photographed in the exhibition hall. I wanted to get a picture of this year's Everfree (local pony group) stand, but I felt there was no way to approach the stand without them engaging me and asking if I was interested, and immediately knowing what I was up to when I said no. The guy there was wearing an unfitted suit, with a short top hat with a leather strap and ~totally steampunk~ goggles, had plush ponies baby-pinned to the suit material, and was totally unshaven. "♪Just glue some gears on it....♪" "Guys I own a custom-built katana. No really. Which artisan made it? Harold from Idaho." I don't even know what that is, some kind of plastic toy anime hammer sharing a rack with all the authentic katanas like "Blood Plus" and "Cherry Blossom"? It's not that sign itself that is awkward, but when you realize that the merchant is asked these questions frequently enough to necessitate making a sign.

The best part about this thread is feigning ignorance about a spergy subject and seeing how many goons step forward to fill out all the details about spergy subject in a don't-ask-me-how-I-know manner. Like when someone intentionally misidentifies a pony and the rest of the page is goons quoting and correcting that one guy. It's the forums equivalent of that WWI "What's a German name? Stand up, Hans! *bang*" joke.
