/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I never knew about SJW until this one girl I met at school. Let's call her M. She's a tiny black girl with a fro who was a really cool nerd friend who was awesome to hand out with. We've had plenty of discussions about race in anime and cosplay and they were tame enough.

Then the spring musical happened. It was Dames at Sea and there's one song in the show called Singapore Sue. The whole bit is a hugely racist number, but in a way that makes fun of the way races used to be portrayed in hte early 1900s. The costume designer, Ting, a first gen immigrant Chinese woman, thought the number was hilarious. But the joke went COMPLETELY over M's head and she was FURIOUS at the school and the department. She completely abandoned one friend who just worked THE LIGHTING BOARD for the show and treats her like a KKK member any time they see each other now.

I graduated and never had to talk to her again, but heard that she went on to make an art exhibit tearing apart the play with the title repainted as "Dames at Semen" and graphic pictures of her getting raped by the white man.

Now I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that making the world aware of a 1960's play that's mocking 1920's media is going to do much to help the minority communities of 2013.

Worst part is she can't even be reasoned with. If you disagree with her she swells up like like an angry pigeon. And then she wonders why her only friends are professors.

Every time I see a wa-lolita thread, I am reminded of the panel at PCC. I'm not even a lolita, but I share in the cringe with you all.

>That one person you've never met before who is suddenly being extremely tmi

Was in the bathroom with a friend and this one sad girl in a party city Marilyn Monroe costume with no wig starts talking to us about how she was molested when she was a kid.

>tfw some guy and his family come walking by outside a con and ask if he can get a picture of you pretending to swing a pickaxe at his mom's head.

I think the point is, it doesn't matter if you're a bad cosplayer if you're having fun.

What the hell is the point in being a good cosplayer if you don't have fun? Take your elitist bullshit elsewhere.

I think dirty panties aren't as sexy as you think.

This hair all looks stupid as fuck. I can't believe you people are actually wanting to achieve this look.
