>>672658Dammit. This takes me back, I probably had so many screenshots of the stories from /cgl/ back in the day on my old computer (back when you'd save screenshots of every funny thing that happened). I'd share them with my friends who didn't frequent /cgl/ and we'd have a hearty kek over them whenever we saw him at cons.
I will say back when I was a baby weeaboo going to my first cons and my parents had to drop me and my friends off or buy tickets for me, my Dad would always read through the websites (just to be supportive and see what events were happening) and be like
>Oh boy, looks like Ol' Vic will be attending…AGAIN….Even my Dad thought he was ridiculous, and he didn't even know who he was.
Also I remember one time at a smaller local con in more recent years when he'd fallen off a little bit, I was cosplaying Aigis and my bf was cosplaying Akihiko. We were talking to a really good Yukari cosplayer and chatting and taking pics with her for a long time, and we didn't realize at first that we were standing right in front of Vic and his table. He was staring hard at us, expecting us to acknowledge him in some way or ask him for a pic or something. We made a point to not even look in his direction.
>Pic related, Vic when characters Persona 3 are standing right in front of him not acknowledging that he's DA MAN!!!!
