I stopped going to cons cause they went from being a nerd gathering where you can buy cool art and collectibles, to an Instagram fashion show filled with "professional cosplayers", you tubers and shitty, mass produced "collectibles". It's also super expensive now

This one is only $30. I haven't been to a con before so I have no idea if its worthwhile or total crap. I feel like a smaller Con must be better than the bigger one filled with professional cosplayers
