String comment = 'Guys, how old is too old?
Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.
Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.';
'You'll be fine but probably bitterly disappointed to find out that it's nothing like you remember.';
'I've seen an age-appropriate Queen Elizabeth cosplayer and a 70 something year old Megumin, among others. You've got nothing to worry about fampai';
'Unless you try to hit in girls half your age you're fine. Anime cons are reaching normies status. Oldfags aren't getting much side eyes especially if you go to a big one.';

Early 40s here. Just cosplayed as Goku recently.
Due to Toriyama' passing i got asked for hugs a lot and not in a cringe way but more of a nostalgia/respect kinda thing.
It never got weird so dont go there people.
You do you my fellow cosplayer and enjoy till the very end.';

Kids today call themselves grown-ups.
15 years older than you and still cosplaying.
Now man the fuck up or shut the fuck up.';

No age is too old as long as you aren't letting your saggy dick/tits hang out of some skimpy costume. But all costhots are disgusting regardless of age.';
'the only thing cringe is not enjoying something you like because you think you're "too old"';

Well put.';

You went in what I consider the golden years so it won't be anything like you remember but cons can still be fun. Cosplaying an age appropriate character especially. I don't think anyone would think you're out of place. The average con age is probably higher now than when we went.
Enjoy. Have a good time. I'm not quite as old (mid 30s) but I still enjoy soloing cons. The feeling you get at cons, even with the way the scene has changed (for the worse), it's hard to capture anywhere else.';

No such thing as too old man, I see plenty of people in their 50s. Plenty of characters to cosplay no matter what age you are.';
