This weekend was Otakon in Baltimore, and I was lucky enough to get a press pass for it. I’ll post links to my article on it soon, but there are a lot of people who were excited about it. There is a ton of ‘cosplay‘ that happens at Otakon. (Cosplay is short for costume play). Everyone dresses up, in fact, as one of the few people who didn’t dress up – I kind of felt out of place. Next year, I might dress up – latex could be involved.

Try to get that image out of your head.

Anyway, girls dress up as boy characters, boys dress up as girls, boy and girls dress up as anime monsters, machines, Tardis boxes, etc.

One word = Awesome.

Anyhoo, one of my friends posted a pic of one them dressed up in a great costume, with a comment that he had been ‘out-nerded’. We were all leaving comments on how we’re all nerds, how great the costume was, and so forth.  But, of course, there’s always ONE douchebag.

One – we’re still using ‘gay’ as slur? Cool move, there assbutt. And, two, you’re a douche.
