/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Damn, we don't usually get threads with this many questions in them. Will it breathe some life back, even if just for a moment? Only one way to find out
>Do a majority of congoers cosplay?
Many of your questions have the same answer: It varies. Katsucon, for example, was easily 80%+ cosplayers. If you're at one, and the turnout is low, don't expect anything special. And while it's also never expected that you dress up, you're absolutely relegated to background extra if you're there in normal clothes.
>is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once?
I can't imagine so, unless you're into being "an influencer" or some dumb zoomie shit like that
>Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?
Facebook, Telegram, Discord groups, this very board. At some you don't even have to look hard, you'll just hear a bunch of noise from a room with its door propped halfway open
>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic tend to accept all demographics?
Maybe a few years ago but in my area, you have explicit anime conventions or implicit ones i.e. they're not advertised as that but weebs are the only one who care to show up. And while I've never done SDCC, some posts I've read suggest there isn't much cosplay presence there at all
>Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby?
I'm guessing you read my post from yesterday on this. Colossal is bordering on the middle of nowhere, so it's not traffic. If you're at an event that has the convention, a waterpark and parties all in one place, you REALLY don't wanna waste time going back and forth, where to keep your things or worrying when one of your guys wants to call it a night
