(NOTE THIS IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE ONLY :))) )
I don't think that I'm the only one that thinks of this.. but don't you think guards in malls are already over reacting? And also aren't malls being so unreasonable lately too? Like they do everything to make conventions sooo inconvenient for cosplayers. I do not disturb the peace in malls or anything. I am also disciplined and I know etiquettes during cons lol. I've been cosplaying for 6 years hahaha I think I already know what I'm doing. And my point in this is I want to share my experience in the changes of the cons before and now.
I know that I am not the only one getting these lines:
"Cosplayers are not allowed in the CR, get out"
- I don't understand why guards do not allow the cosplayers in the cr even when doing their make-up. Sure they gave an area for cosplayers to change but how about the make-up? we need mirrors. Please it is not like we were blocking the way and not letting the other customers move.
"Cosplayers are not allowed here, they disturb the mall's customers"
This is the rudest thing that I heard and not only once but many times already. Cosplayers are also customers in the malls! So if you encounter this tell the guard "FYI we are TOO customers of this mall so you have no right to tell that to me."
If you're an owner of a mall and you tell your staff/guards to tell this to a cosplayer who buys from the mall, do not hold a con there. A lot of cosplayers eat there for sure then you treat them as nobodies. tsk tsk.
"Do not sit on the floor"
For me this can be tolerated, but I just hope that guards would be considerate to understand that we've been
walking or standing for hours and a little rest wouldn't hurt. Plus there are a lot who wear shoes, which after a few hours would definitely hurt. I don't understand why guards wouldn't allow it for even 15 minutes.
I hope they change their rules because it is not that good at all..
I was starting to hate SMX Mall of Asia but now Im starting to hate SM megamall too.
