/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Go to a friend's event, its a cosplay contest.
>Many participants of all skill and status, some well known and cosfamous, some less professional and even first timers.
>They each make perform their acts, stuff like dancing, doing cool stuff with their cosplay, etc.
>There are a few that really stand out, and surprisingly, at least to me, most of those fantastic performances were from the newbies.
>The cosfamous folk seemed to kinda just wing it, thinking they'd just glide off their fame to the next rounds.
>This is known because all they do is just walk around, and then strike a pose...or bribe the judges.
>Yes. Bribe.
>They literally walk right up to the judges offering food, flowers, etc.
>The judges give them the pass to the next round, while the few newbies that were genuinely good are kicked off the stage.
>As the cosplay contest continues on, some chick in pretty much a bikini with lights on beat some other chick's slightly more clothed, but decently propped cosplay of some knight shit.
>Later on I am sitting with a bunch of these cosfamous people drinking at a bar, mutual friends, and some are actually friends, and such.
>Theyre all talking about the contest, some making comments about how they actually know its rigged for them, not caring too much about it.
>One makes a comment about how there is one particular contestant that enters every year, and is always picked to lose.
>That contestant was actually pretty damn good, but I guess he/she pissed off someone big in the community, and its fucked them ever since.
>Some of the cosfamous cunts also talk shit about that person for a bit, trying to spread some rumors of that person to me.
>They seem pretty fake, obviously theyre trying to just make me hate that person and spread shit too.
>I just drink my beer, and take off as soon as i can.
>Mfw I see some of the shitty people in this community. Thankfully not all of them are like this.
