Caption: Spotted this guy from across the street on the steps of the convention during Otakon. Full on slumped out with kids dressed up as caped crusaders stepping over him.
Description: For those of you who aren’t in the know, Otakon is an annual Baltimore convention where anime fans of all ages dress up like their favorite Japanese anime character, flood the inner-harbor for a weekend and really fuck with the buzz of all the harbor zombies. This guy apparently had enough, and after his hasty escape from UMMC decided to stage an impromptu sit-in out of protest.
Well, good job asshole, Otakon realized that they were outgunned and officially decided to move down to DC in 2017. OK, maybe it wasn’t this dude in particular, but they have grown exponentially since they started about 20 years ago, and like everything that is edgy and fun it eventually grows old, bloated and boring and then moves to DC.
You may ask yourself “Does this mean Baltimore is going to be left without an edgy, boarding on creepy convention chock full of people on the sex offender list?”
I’m guessing you’ve never heard of Bronycon…
