Anime Expo 2004: Man-Faye In Trouble

[SailorStarDust]

I remember seeing this at AX 04, a huge crowd was forming as he was getting kicked out. Dude was wearing a thong then he went into a rant about how "The next thing you know, they won't let Japanese people into cons." lol. (I don't see myself in any of the crowd pans, my family was farther away. I went as Sailor Moon.)

[HaleFallin]

HOLY SHIT!!! IM EFAMOUS!!! THATS ME IN THE ORANGE SHIRT!!!

[BlueCrab420]

He is a freak! Hang him up by the balls!

[DontTakeCrack]

man faye's a hell lot better than the otakus that these conventions pump out lol.

[AngelsCryBLood2]

personally, i think he just wants attention.

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

dumbass thats why people cosplay

[snusnu4]

Man-Faye FTW!!!

[xheavensonfirex]

I think the issue was not that it was a guy doing it, but he did make it very tight.

Most girls don't have their costumes riding up their ass like he did, I think that was the issue. Then again, we don't know what else he did inside the con so...

[fawna01]

but the girls who do don't usually get the long end of the stick like this guy did. I went to EXP con this past week and there were atleast 4 girls walking around an entire day in their underwear and like a t shirt, and one chick was pretty much naked cept for a thong, skimpy skirt *didn't even cover her ass*, and bra.

[UlenTheWise]

If I ever run into that guy, I'm giving him a hug.

[DEKA1]

Hey I was the one who video taped him at Anime Expo 2008 ! so he was there, too bad i could'nt stay for his stand up comedy ! we all have to respect Man Faye, he is a Legend in the Cosplay world ! look at me I am the only of France Five/ Red Fromage in the USA ! like him, im the only one of my kind ! I might be put down by alot of Power Ranger Fans, but like Man Faye I stick with my costume ! And i have been cosplaying in the costume since 2005, so i am atleast trying to be like him !

[ferretyluv]

Go Man-Faye, go!

Damon Evans is actually really cute.

[shroomieooms]

2:20 Red mage, wooo!

13:19 Is that a man Yuna O.o? XDD

Yeah, total bs that he can't wear that costume. They never incuded "Man cosplayers with fat hairy ass's are not aloud to wear speedos" As one of their rules. GO MAN FAYE!

WOOOOOOOOOOO! ♥

[KagomeHigurashi211]

I want Man Faye to be at AX08...T_T

[KagomeHigurashi211]

Man-Faye for the win!

[NeedlesSTKane]

man faye is awesome!

[KrimzonAlchemist]

HAIL MAN FAYE!

[MangaxManiac]

He's right, if your not proud of your body then no one else will be!!!

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

still does not make you sexy soryy

[sowishfulthinker]

i love man faye :-)

[funnywarrior]

go man faye!!!

[helgesdk]

Oh well, sure he can.

But they probably wouldn't let a girl show her "big ass" inside the con either.

[helgesdk]

Sorry to say this, but videos like this makes people think americans are stupid.

[dropbackadam]

Well u know what i have to say back to you, its an anime convention its a part of something you may not understand, and who cares about what people think of america, if your gonna be scared to express yourself then dont go out your door.

[helgesdk]

I've been to anime cons myself and don't find cosplay wrong at all, even though some people think it's weird - who cares.

I don't have anything against Americans, but I do recognize that many non-Americans tend to.

This movie is awful because it sends another bad signal.

Just look at his behavior and blabbing about rights.

Face reality: Rights or no rights, you just look like an idiot, and yes, it's a very disturbing to run around like that. Keep your butt-hair for yourself, ok?

[dropbackadam]

You dont understand

[DazeWolf]

Aw, really? I think it's cute. And besides, he's just one guy. There are weird people in every country, why pin it on the US? Look at "Hard-Gay", or...hey, mimes. (: I'm surprised that someone who seems so polite and reserved would base your opinion of a whole country of people on some youtube videos and ranting blogs. ): I'm disappointed.

[helgesdk]

I'm not American, but I'm still not generalizing on Americans here - I'm trying to do the opposite.

I'm just stating that it is a wide-spread trend to generalize on people, especially Americans, since you have so much attention in media, and therefore politics and national symbols should stay out of such provoking stunts.

Yes, Hard-Gay is Japanese, but he does not do such things. Man-Faye _would_ be funny, but his attitude ruins it all IMHO.

[DazeWolf]

I agree that he'd be a lot more fun if he weren't such a loud jerk about it, but you don't have to go pointing out how rude and shallow people can be.

[NeedlesSTKane]

well he did kinda have a reason to be a loud jerk about it I mean it's pretty much sexism. just cause he's a dude he wasn't allowed to wear that in the convention hall? that's bullcrap

[RoseDarkDragoon]

OMFG the MAN YUNA!!! He does better cosplay of yuna than me =D and im a girl lol

[Aniwan78]

What the hell? There are chics that run around in skimpier outfits than the one he has on, they're in California where people do and wear crazy shit on a daily basis, and they're selling all kinds of weird porn (tentacles! :O) and such in there. That's a bunch of crap, and people need to lighten up. Some people are just too sensitive when it comes to crossplaying. F-ing bitches. MAN-FAYE RULES!

[ElnAlter]

@Aniwan78 south California is full of conservatards

[Cloud62493]

lol i saw him in 2007 ezpo

[yourmockhero]

Poor Man-Faye! :x

[Ashesela]

Man Faye rocks!

[DomoKun619]

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

[SquishyMoon]

I wonder what the heck he does for an actual living?

[marae1993]

He's so sexy. Dx -Smacks his ass.- >w>

[Megimetama]

wow he lost weight compared to the recent videos of him lol his shorts look less like a thong now xDD

[crazyanimegrl]

Look he may not have the hottest body ever, but come on it's anime con. I have seen so many others who should just go back home and put on some %^$#^ clothes.

don't get mad because he is a man dressed like that. People have a right to be unique and different.

long live man-faye and others who dare to be different.

[sango11]

ya i agree with u

[Kijiyama]

well dealers can sell pr0n and stuff but usually kids can't readily see that. Him on the other hand, screams obscene

[Pandaren123]

wow...lol^_^

[thecosplay3]

man faye should get his own hollyday ^_^

[lilshortdudetp]

man faye shall return!!!!

[luneguy]

MY GOD HIS ASS it BURN >.<

[amanochou]

While I agree there is some hypocrisy going on here, I don't think the situation is that serious. Turning it into a federal case and screaming "POWER TO THA PEOPLEEE!" is a bit much.

[Jfox255]

MAN FAY SHALL LIVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!MY HERO!!!!!WoOT!

[Yukarividel]

Man-Faye Is A Fucking Legend. A GOD.

[Hitsugaya202]

I have to admit that he's got a point. It's pretty unfair that he got kicked out/in trouble for this.

[kovalien]

god's wrath will fall upon his white hairy ass

[kovalien]

u know wat, on second thought, i take back what i said before...let the guy do whatever the heck he wants to do, as long as he understands the consequences that can be involved when doing something that wild.

[aallaannaa]

man faye should have a golden monument XD

[forevermoreroses]

GO MAN-FAYE!

[aallaannaa]

he has a pretty ass XD

[Lanza4eva]

I don't like man faye, his fat hiary ass is disturbing me.

But I support him totally in this case!

Men shouldn't get in trouble for wearing same cloths as girls. We should have the same right! ^_^

GO MAN FAYE!!

[CSVmedical]

Man Faye is like.. hot x 10.

[FireStata]

I saw Man-Faye on the Sci-fi channel

[MermaidHunHun]

its wrong that they didnt let him in, of all places i'd think an anime convention or whatever it is would be open to anything with all the perverse and weird outragouse things that anime comes up with..

what a bunch of squares, man faye is freakin' hilarious! party poopers!! love u man faye!!

[soubaka]

I LUV UUU MAN-FAye !!!!

[winterxbliss]

wait how come may-faye isnt allowed in the convention? and who is he ? is he cosplaying and anime character or someone he made up?

[kari5]

He's Faye from Cowboy Bebop.He made it last minute before a con as a bit of a joke and became quite popular.Anyway,eventually staff aproched him and told him to leave/change clothes.I think he said no or something and got kicked out of the building (or maybe he left by himself, dont remember).Anyway,he believes since women can wear the outfit, so can he.Mostly people reported him because he's chubby,hairy,etc.He stands up for otaku rights that both men and woman can wear the same things.

[skater233]

there was a dude checkin him out!!

[jamesspicer]

I saw him on jay leno but they didnt show him getting arrested...this is sweet though..going on my favs.

[albee20]

i have no idea who the dude is but i just wanna goto the expo thanks for the info!

[Genekitty]

I love man-Faye!!

Go you, man!! Fight the system!!

Stick it to the man!!

[Mizzfreestyle]

I love man-faye! Hairy ass and all!

[Jabkrisis]

Man-Faye rocks. Justice for Man-Faye!!!

lol frickin hilarious, that guy.

[chloeinit]

lol i found it fnni

[badwolfvlm]

Many time I have seen him pictures on internet. lol He is soo dirty funny. He would be famous lol

[torontojack]

He is famous.

[badwolfvlm]

I wish he can be there in London Expo cos I want autograph! :-D

[torontojack]

You can request the organizers of London Expo to invite him as a guest.

[39Holic]

you guys are so mean XD man faye is right if some girl with a nice butt can walk around with it hangin out why cant he? just cause his butt is ugly? thats like saying hey your ugly you cant come in but that pretty person behind you can come in!

[albee20]

yea he has a point but we all know how the world works and thats gonna change girl will always have the advantage and if there hot well thats even more benefitual for them if u get whaat i mean!dosent apply for all

[Japanasian54]

OMG!! this is the guy that i nearly fainted last time!!! AHHH he scared the shit out of me with his ugly ass... ass!!

[skoolgrl101]

Um...I didn't really like this cosplayer. He was too disturbing dude.

[Genyphur]

didnt this asshole try to get into who wants to be a superhero with stan lee? last time I checked, faye is copyrighted..

[hikarushirou]

Just... power to him. I'm not going to dare debate about how 'wrong he is' and whatnot. He's just a cosplayer. That's all. Sure, I don't want to see his ASS, but if that's the case, I'll just not look. Fair enough, eh?

[ShadowOniShinobi]

All I can say is that Man Faye is more than welcomed at AniZona! ^^ Man, that would be so awesome..

[NaruRin]

I remember seeing a picture of a Naruto cosplayer using 1,000 years of pain on Man-faye..

[MiYuThEhEaRtLeSs]

No offense to him, but I don't think that anybody should be showing their butt. If only his shorts were a bit longer so that they covered it, because I wouldn't really wanna see anyone's butt. He shouldn't be asking for money though >_> Cosplaying /is/ just for fun and he /is/ just a cosplayer. Just wear longer shorts so that they fit on you, I don't really watch Cowboy Bebop but I'm pretty sure Faye has shorts and not a thong, and that every other cosplayer wears shorts as well.

[Kouari]

Yeah. There's cosplaying and there's indecent exposure. I'm sure if he'd used one of Faye's outfits that covered up the rear they would have let him in. It was the exposed bit, not him being old and... odd.

[eric712]

man faye fights for our rights!

[albee20]

where is this expo anyway

[8266793]

Anaheim Convention Center next to Disneyland. AX07 will take place at the Long Beach Convention Center.

Hopefully Man Faye would never try to go that far, can he?

[shezu]

go man faye! cause i agree he had the right to go in.

[Purrsquietly]

If ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN MY SAVE MANFAYE CAMPAIGN EMAIL ME PLEEAAASEE<3

we will have our manfaye at anime expo someday!

fans_thinking@yahoo.com

[Motormaster]

Could someone put a dick in this guy's mouth, please?

[Natsuko]

....i feel bad for the guy... you know what... thou he's an idiot... he said 'Anarchy' or whatever... then he says 'my right' like a normal teenager... and how old is he 40?

[FenixAiur]

He's 25.. =p

[b00mb0xity]

That was great XDD

[fushinotori1]

SOOO true hes nothing comparied to tenticle porn and yaoi

[rex22neo]

Man-Faye is repulsive in "MALE" point of view, seeing that I'm not an "Anime" fan. I do argee about the tentacle porn.

[Zangya]

:) Man Faye is the new God

[MiistaMullet]

I have met Damen on numerous occasions. He is my brother's friend.

[taomoogle]

MAN FAYES MY HERO.

END OF STORY =D

[Haideedaggin]

Yeah I could not believe it. How in the world did Man Faye get on to Television??? There is something not right in the world. Although I have to admit my husband and I were laughing so hard. So I wonder what Superpower he said he had?

[shounenguy2]

I saw this guy Man Faye on T.V. Last night.He was on that show on Sci-fi called "Who Wants to be a Superhero".

[TutuFan101]

I knew that was him in the preview. I really need to get out more.

[jurida]

only anime fans would praise this guy *shakes head*

[KairiElite]

Nightmares ;-;

[Kimiski]

Gak.... O.O

Man-Faye should be banned from cons everywhere... thank god he hasnt come to my home con yet.... t.t

[greatdrivermiles]

Man-faye wasnt banned for just his hairy ass. mainly it was because his nuts kept falling out while he did high kicks in front of laidies from a neighboring convention. AX Staffers even gave him a chance and told him to keep his coat on while in the con. He did at first but soon shed the coat and was back to his obcene antics. My friend (the head of cosplay at AX) is the one that Banned him...... Man-faye Cried Like A bitch when they took his badge away.

[jsumia]

Man Faye Rules!!!!! he's the one who's gotten me to start crossplaying wOOt!!!! If we girls don't get flamed about crossplaying why should guys do!!!!

[soFearless]

i love manfaye <3

[moon171289]

i can see why they didnt let him in lol but this was funny

[Corwynn]

The yatta guys were disgusting, but Man-Faye stands for the american way!

[toviewvideos]

hn? where was i when all this happened? probably inside XD . but yah, no wonder why i didn't see him last year or this year :/. i thought he was pretty awesome though

[afixanime13]

StarwindAmada,

Umm did you see the Yatta guy? He had WAAAAY less on then Man-faye...he didn't get in trouble because he was decent looking. So that's not very fair now is it?

[8266793]

Anime Expo 2006, I saw Man Faye there, I even shaked the mans hand, he was nice. Im still suprised he got into Anime Expo this year, you are a winner Man Faye, you finally fight the right!

[StarwindAmada]

This is taking cosplaying to a whole new low. I'm sure that everyone walking down the street was in utter disbelief when they saw this guy. I'm glad that security did what they did. However, rather than compromising, they should've just thrown his ass in jail for indecent exposure. The guy is just desperate for attention. Man-Faye and anyone who worships him should be shot - especially that really ugly girl with the digital camera. Fighting for your rights is one thing, but this is ridiculous.

[nintendofan4life]

I personally know him, He's one cool cat. ManFaye is really nice and I hope he goes to Otakon this year.

[RainDark]

i agree with u

[MochaCat]

he was at AX 05..i remeber..i was there. Oo;

[kibaangers]

i was there in that crowd XD hes fucken nice O_o

and he pays you for touching his ass its a challenge XD i did it with like 4 gloves on XDi got $20 : O

for a quicky XD

but it was all good fun at that con

[noraneka]

im scared....

[Renvi]

spike watches in the distance as the scary man in black gives the verdict to Man-Faye. v_v

xDD;

[meka703]

I bet if it was some skinny model where the same exact outfit, they probaly would cut her some slack, hmmm?

[Renvi]

So very true. v_v

If a girl dresses slutty, everyone loves her. >____<

[BloodlustKid]

My friend told me Man-Faye re-entered AX 2005 but didn't cosplay Faye. Instead, he dressed all formal.

[IxLOVExMIYAVI]

wow

that guy is a good speech giver

n anyone else noticed that one girl who wouldnt stop shouting stuff?

[beautycharmaine]

well, nothing agaist him personaly but this is pretty stupid. If they let ppl like that enter the con, then I would be scare.

[chainersedict]

He was banned because he was wearing clothing that was to suggestive or whatever. I was actually there whent his happened. Cops came. Now he's like perma banned from AX .

[Renvi]

He was there this year, so either he wasn't perma banned, or he snuck in. XDD

[ShadowOniShinobi]

They let he back in, and what not.

[Distantmemory]

I ment I wanted to Anime Con or whatever. Dx

[Distantmemory]

::Really wants to go to Fanime:: Dx Damnit Hawaii! Why must you be so far from the Mainland!

[BaldMuffin]

Man-Faye is freaking charismatic. Awsome dude, a lengend of AX.  But his costume did get smaller and smaller. It's not about good-looks here. Children attend the Expo as well and he should at least wear shorts instead of a bikini bottom.

Anime Expo does have a rule about cosplaying, something about common courtesy or something. Search the website.

[unico]

THAT WAS Cosplay HISTORY!!

thanks for uploading it

[VitalitysTears]

YA! GO MAN-faye!

[negapass]

man faye is such a nice and sweet guy... but this was just stupid...

[genkibara]

haha he was there lst year...he will be again

[zombieszombiesz]

Poor man-faye!!! I hope he does show up next year.. he makes a perfectly good point and should be let in!!

[DDRQueen]

Eee ^.^ Man-Faye is my new idol too. Can't wait to see him at AX 06

[GhettoNinjaStella]

Man-Faye is my new idol xD

[bunnys123]

This is funny and embarrasing at the same time..>_>

[oddity]

I wonder how often he has to put up with stuff like that. 

[AnthyFromTheDead]

i love man-faye and the staff at anime expo are a bunch of douches

[neojinchuu]

xD ese tipo aca en mexico salio en una revista de Videojuegos >.< creo que me quede ciego

[AuthorX]

Yes, truly an icon of the American spirit of "Look at me! I'm the CENTER OF ATTENTION! I don't have to follow the rules, and if you say I do YOU'RE ASSHOLES."

...yeah, he did NOT get kicked out because he's not hawt... plenty of good-natured geeks got in, and weren't kicked out, because they didn't keep breaking the rules after being warned multiple times *eyeroll*

[zombieszombiesz]

oh really? What rules does he break? XD

[unico]

yeah...what rule?

[babiieguryl]

Well, for one thing he asked poeple to touch his ass, caused a big scene. (Maybe thats the reason , I guess)

[unico]

and girls get to run around glomping and carrying "yaoi paddles"...dude...thats like...not cool. lol jk

[Distantmemory]

XD He has his own site too.

[BushidoHacks]

You know at first I though Man-Faye was creepy, but now I see he is a person who is standing up for what he believes in.

"America, we love you, how many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful Country of our's? The stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect? The women and men who have broke their neck's for the freedom of speech the United States

Government has sworn to uphold, or so we're told." --Eminem, from White America.

[ka3per]

LAMO I've been their and I saw him get in trouble

[godaiking]

Fucking hilarious! I need to get my girl to take a picture with him at AX06

[aquanite]

man, i need to meet this guy one of these days.

[neoboman]

"THEY'RE SELLING TENTACLE PORN IN THERE AND I'M THE OBSCENE ONE!!!"

LO effin' L.

[miyavihazumihyde]

go man faye!!!!WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!YAEHH SPEAK THOSE RIGHT OF US ANIME FANS!!!!!!WOOTWOOT!!!

[ThisIsKat]

he speaks the truth!

[LifeisaGlitch]

Holy shit. This is hilarious.
