/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I think a lot of them come across as hurtful because some take it too seriously.

It's a bunch of adults (and sometimes children) dressing up, you normally do this for fun, so as soon as people become all serious it really shows how pathetic humans as a species can be.

Fair enough if you want to make it special and as close to the references as possible, but if you want to talk about how many hundreds or thousands it cost to make it then you'll find a lot of us will turn our heads and say "WTF! that's how much I put into rent per month/year etc"

Same again for alot of competitors who carry on like divas for no good reason. Okay you made a nice outfit, sure you looked like the character but your skit was a boring as drying paint. Or the other way around.

Or like the pic "a team fighting hard for the chance to be team australia in WCS" really...I didn't realise WCS selection had anything to do with being in a struggle let alone a fight of some kind.


Yes AusCos scene can be nasty but not to everyone.

I personally haven't had any problems because I don't act like a wanker. You will find that the cosplayers that get shit put on them because they put themselves in that position in the first place. People like Nic and Lily take cosplay way too seriously. Like making blanket statements that the competitions are rigged because they didn't win...

They dealt their own cards and I can easily see the train wreak they are, so why not laugh about it - certainly cannot do anything else
