/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The closest thing to bullying I ever received was some off-hand comment by some wanna-be pro cosplayer about not wanting to use duct tape in their costumes. I like using duct tape.

Other than that, I think a lot of the people who think conventions are these vitriolic, hostile environments where everyone is standing around judging each other out loud and slinging insults are people who have never been to a con or cosplayed.

The worst shit a cosplayer will ever get will be from facebook or reddit or other social media sites. Sites where normalfags and shut-ins try to be the most clever, snarky, funny guy with the nastiest comment.
>hurhur who put a sailor moon costume on that beached whale, amirite?!

Most cons are surprisingly friendly and nice, and unless you've got that one friend who turns into a complete ass when they get drunk, I don't think I've ever seen anyone outright bully a person at a con in the decade I've been attending cons.
