/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

General point about cosplay in Japan that's very important to keep in mind: Although there are also many scantily clad cosplayers, the sorts of things that most Western female cosplayers do at Western cons, like going raves, and hooking up with random guys and stuff like that isn't done in Japan. There's still a very prominent shame culture, and even other girls will probably find it kind of disgusting if you end up hooking up with some guy you just met. Naturally, drugs are completely off the table.

Oh, and the things western cosplayers do in terms of behavior, loudly advertising their sexual exploits etc: That's a no-go, even if they can't understand you don't want to risk it.

Sounds kind of trollish, but what it boils down to is: Don't be a slut like you are back home. It's also bad for other western females because it perpetuates the idea you're all essentially porn whores, which is one of the reasons Japanese men are such creepy fuckers around white girls sometimes.
