i still stand by the fact that rf5 was ass and boosted rftod up as a better game

comic con is coming up and im just gonna go on my yearly rant about how much i hate how it’s changed dont mind me

I’ve been going to San Diego Comic Con for years. Literally since I was 6 years old and it was still fucking accessible to the general public. My dad and I went every year up until he stopped being able to get tickets which let me tell you is the saddest thing in the fucking world.

A lot of people blame the Twilight campers of ‘08, the year which quite literally changed the con for the worst. Long story short, when tickets were still relatively easy to get, people you would never expect to go to Comic Con (See; white moms) camped outside of the con just to attempt to get into the Twilight panel so they could see the top of Robert Pattinson's head from a few thousand feet away. And big companies and studios hopped the fuck on this bandwagon every year after. 

Come see the Game of Thrones cast! The Avengers cast! The cast of every nerdy thing the general public enjoys while not having any nerdy interests past this! All you have to do is camp out in line for about 4 days and hope to christ you actually make it in! Cmon rich white people that can afford to buy up tickets before anyone else just so you can use it for literally one event that might last an hour or two! Also fuck the rest of you who have no interest in this and just want tickets to go and ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOD TIME OUTSIDE OF THESE BIG NAME PANELS! Shame on you for not funding our next Fox TV show we will plaster on every fucking trolley in San Diego that totally won't die out after Comic Con actually ends!

And even going outside the con to do all the free stuff is an absolute pain??? Comic Con has become such a fucking phenomenon there are people who will travel from all over just to experience what, flavor of the month Adult Swim show previews and shitty free stuff that will end up in your closet? I mean more power to you if that’s really your thing, but it gets to a point where these people feel so entitled to this shit, it’s so rude. Hey you! You in the funny costume! Yeah you look like uhhhhhh Star Wars right? No? Whatever. Hold my baby for a picture! Did you make this? My kids can’t play with your fragile props? Don’t be rude they’re just playing! Stop hitting your helmet, it’s hurting your head? He’s just joking god! You Comic Con nerds are so disrespectful!

I wish I was kidding when I say for the last few years I’ve been battered at least once by someone who just wants to gawk at the funny dressed up kid like I’m some kind of tourist attraction. 

Now here’s the thing, why go if I’m so fucking salty about the con? It’s fun and it’s one of the very few cons still within two hours of me. The con itself still has a lot of cool stuff to do if you’re genuinely into things outside of the mainstream! And if you are into the mainstream that’s ok! But good fucking luck doing anything! The center of the dealers hall is reserved for big name booths. Fox, Marvel, Syfy, etc with their stupid obnoxiously big displays and the freebies they throw out from a literal tower just to watch people fucking murder each other over. Everything around these areas is usually depressingly barren except for the people from the crowds spilling out into the other parts of the hall, which always makes me feel bad for the vendors just trying to sell action figures and comics. 

In the early years the mainstream booths used to actually be accessible. It wasn’t a clusterfuck of people who are only there because there’s a chance they might see the Bazinga man. And were there still people who would camp out for panels and signings? Of course! But it wasn’t nearly as bad as it is now! At least then seeing these people made you think “Oh wow, they must really be dedicated to their fandom if they’re doing this!” not “You poor bastard, you realize they’re not like personally shaking hands and kissing babies right”

It seems more like people assume that these celebrities are just SWARMING the con floor, they HAVE to buy up a 4 day pass so they can hopefully see Bendytoots head among the crowd of other people searching for him. Comic Con is the biggest convention in the world IT MUST BE TRUE!

I kind of went off here as this shit is just stupid personal to me and sadly I realize there’s little to no chance it’ll ever be the same again. I used to joke around that everyone who says they wish they could go to Comic Con doesn’t realize how much it sucks but if you’re someone into things outside of the mainstream TV shows and movies, it really is a pretty neat con and I hope you can go to at least once for the smaller owned companies and panels which are a lot easier to discover and approach. 

Otherwise it’s not worth it, it’s really not.

pls stop buying up all the tickets you rich ass shitlords
