Infected Sword Enthusiasts - folded up to a million times!

Jungle war is a messy, horrible business -- for several week you and your platoon have been trooping through mosquito-infested swamps. Provisions are near an end and mucky water has rendered much of your weaponry unusable. Finally: you make enemy contact. A burst of machine gun fire rips through the foliage. "Cover!" the seargant yells. You drop behind a tree trunk. Rifle shots crack, bullets whine. But then -- the barrage stops as suddenly as it began. Warily, you peek over the tree trunk. You cannot make out much in the green chaos of leaves, vines, shrubs and foul swamp plants. There... did something move? An enemy uniform?! You squint harder, raise your assault rifle... plunk! Something falls into the mud right in front of you. You stare in disbelief. The object is fist-sized, egg-shaped and pastel yellow, with pink butterflies painted on it. As you gasp for breath, you hear a sound... a tune coming out of it: "My little pony, my little pony -- aahaaaaa haaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa..." -- BOOM!!!!

Lol. I already suggested this. It's in the Brony thread.

Which ironically highlights why the gun became so popular vs sword even when guns where shit-it's lethal even if it's being held by a total pleb were a sword needs training, discipline and sort of mindset which doesnt waste huge chunks of time watching cartoon horses.
 
That tard-rage was the only really interesting sword related thing that happened to me. Had a couple of edgy looking teens buy wall hangers and "fantasy" spring assists off me, and weebs looking for a piece for cosplay, but most of the people who bought from me were women looking for something for self defense (or wishing they could buy a knife, but were on parole) people of both sexes looking for hunting knives (this was kind of a rural area) or collectors looking for an exotic piece.

As for the LARPers, it truly was a strange group. The guy running it did training for ren fair shows and legitimately knew his shit. A small faction was there just to get legit training off the guy and didn't participate in the game. Most of the rest of them were gamers just trying to do something more physically intensive than sitting around a table rolling dice or playing COD. It was the 6 or 7 people who took it way too seriously who are the ones worth talking about.

Had this older gamer couple there who were complete deviants. The 12 year old I was talking about in my last post was their kid. I was just new to the group and they invited me to their "orgy" (which from what I could tell was the other 5 or so adult age, and probably this one girl in the group that was a little south of 18, weirdo LARPers, hopefully not including their own kid). There was the token tranny, which, to his credit, actually tried as hard as he could to pass, and was legitimately successful, unlike a few certain potatoes we follow around here. He just got way too into "Character" of a badass Xena OC. The rest were a mix of weeaboos with the high functioning 'tism and delusions of samurai or knighthood and 3 edgy 5 me teens and 20 somethings.

"Just me with my swords. Don't fuck with me, I know my way around bladed weaponry. I kind of like how my fingers wrap around the Katana, and the groove of muscle in the arm. The hair covering the eyes gives it that I-mean-business effect, in my opinion."

"a pict of myself and my Special edition Conan Atlantean Sword, it was made in spain and cost over $1000, worth every penny though, its awesome. Skinny white boy to beefcake my friend just told me lol"
Blondie should sell her swords for bra money.
 
Can someone explain to me what's with the prevalence of the katana wielding neckbeards with fedoras and trench coats? I'm like half convinced that the vast majority of these pics are all ironically taken. Because I refuse to believe that these guys can take a look at themselves in the mirror and think, "Yeah I'm a bad motherfucker."

it's a combination of autism, weebism, male feminism, hipsterism, and escapisim. Just as Chris retreats to CWCville, where he is godbearmayor supreme, the fedora warrior tries to supplant his reality with that of bleach, ruroni kenshin, or whatever katana fap anime is popular at the time. The fedora and trench coat shit is pure hipster thirstyness. They are trying to do the dapper gentleman thing as an attempt to appeal to women, thinking that what they precieve as "classic style" will make up for what they lack in testosterone and looks.

In my opinion, it's like a powerfantasy to these people. As others have noted, most of these people are either obese neckbeards or skinny nerds, obviously not your tough types. They probably get the impression that "hey, swords and trenchcoats are badass!" from Anime, TV, movies or video games, so they dress and act like that to seem badass because in reality they aren't.
