The two roommates I had before I met my wife were a couple who cosplayed. Their sewing table sat right next to my computer. I watched costumes being designed and made from start to finish. They were also friends with the guy who founded and runs Youmacon, who was a frequent guest.<br /><br />As for the Trump fan, nah, she impressed me as more of a standard comic book movie/Walking Dead fan than an anime otaku, although I've run into quite a few of those, including the male ex-roommate, who were quite conservative. Wonkette makes fun of the Trump otaku <a href="http://wonkette.com/597930/neo-nazi-trump-supporters-cant-stop-fapping-to-anime-your-saturday-nerdout" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://wonkette.com/601808/the-trump-train-has-a-weird-anime-fetish" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-87347230678447305632016-05-18T22:02:47.839-04:002016-05-18T22:02:47.839-04:00I watched some of these a couple of days ago but n...I watched some of these a couple of days ago but never got around to commenting. I had no idea Detroit had so much of this kind of thing going on. Cosplay fascinates me even though I could never pull it off myself -- it's remarkable what some people achieve with their costumes.<br /><br />One vote for Trump? Must have been some <i>otaku</i> who thinks Trump is a comic-book villain. Couldn't blame them.<br /><br />Checked out your earlier post as well. If the news stations are going to cover Youmacon, they should at least send someone who knows how <i>youma</i> is pronounced. It's actually a kind of funny name, though, considering what the <i>-kon</i> suffix actually means in Japanese.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-41010837249424718352016-05-15T18:38:28.116-04:002016-05-15T18:38:28.116-04:00I thought about it, but it was more important to d...I thought about it, but it was more important to do grown up things like buy furniture that matches the new flooring. Instead of walking around the con, my wife and I walked around Pier 1 and Ikea. We probably would have walked less at the con than Ikea.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-5100831918761315902016-05-15T18:26:40.407-04:002016-05-15T18:26:40.407-04:00Did you attend?
