/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The idea that you ought to have a new cosplay for every con/a costume for each day is toxic and promotes elitism.

An essential part of cosplaying is community and sharing your knowledge; the worst part about cosplay becoming increasingly monetized is that people are less willing to share their methods, or lock them off to paying fans or as "trade secrets" (which I understand to some extent but if you really risk your business by telling where you buy fake fur or how you like to cast resin it's evidently not your skill people are paying for).

Homestuck is an excellent comic with a generous, kind, and imaginative fandom.

Fanart was the worst thing to ever happen to art, I agree.
