/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't get these salty ass threads. For some people Cosplay is all about the art involved in crafting a true to source image. For others it's about feeling like a character and socializing through shared niche interests. Plenty do both, but what's the point in shitting on people who prefer one aspect just because you prefer the other? If you really find it fun why do you bother with cosplay when it's easier and cheaper to shitfling about passive media like video games or tv shows?
