otakon 2012 postmortem, or; on white korras

Well, Otakon/Weebfest/Animelosercon/Homestuckcon/Adventuretimecon/Avengerscon/Anythingbutanimecon 2012 is over and I am home. Or rather, the con was over for me on Saturday afternoon when I came down with con flu and spent the rest of the weekend vomitting profusely and passed out in bed. Because of that, I missed a large number of the panels that I wanted to attend (The Abridged Series, Dubs That Time Forgot, The Art of Fanservice, etc.) and didn’t get to hang out with anyone.

An appendix to why otaku are hated.

The only cosplay allowed in Disneyworld is of a pretty pretty princess.

So remember this post? Well I have a little addition I’d like to talk about briefly. As you all know we were in Disneyworld, Florida this past week. One of the days of course we went to Epcot Center, and what day in Epcot Center is complete without a visit to all the various “countries” there. So let me jump to the point: Japan “land” consists of 3 restaurants (2 are in 1 building) and 1 fairly large gift shop. That’s it. Now that you are aware of this fact I would like to know why some fucking idiot weeaboo dresses up as Vash the Stampede just to cosplay in a fucking gift shop in DISNEYWORLD.

The Japanese Guide to American Otaku-speak

So while there are great guides to Japanese otaku speak, there’s no guides for the Japanese readers to the stupid things American otaku have butchered out of their language. So I decided to attempt to create one! つまりこれは日本人の為にアメリカオタクの「言葉」ガイド。
