“Eternally attractive comic book artist, Tony Harris, has FINALLY told the cosplayers of this world the rules of the game. Please, ladies, don’t show up to conventions in sexy clothes unless you’re a) very sexy, b) aware that you’re not sexy, but an expert on the character you’ve dressed up as, or c) a virgin man.

He gets to make these statements because he’s a handsome man with a VERY powerful social position. He draws comic books."

I go to cons to have fun, not to ask every attendee who happens to be cosplaying if they know shit about the character in matter. If the cosplay is good and the costume accurate, you could be Snooki for all I care. Hell I just want to take some pretty pictures with my fave character.

I just don't understand why you people feel such a need to go to cons and dress up as things you don't have any idea about. Do you crave attention? Do you like to feel superior over the nerds who attend these things? Do you yearn for a lot of easy dickings?

What makes you invest so much time into making yourselves look like characters that you have no actual connection with? Can't you just dress as up as sluts and go to some frat parties to score your dick? Or are you worried that among the rest of the girls there, you'll just be plain and boring? Do you have some need to be the center of attention constantly?

Do you genuinely not read ever?

I already told you this. Not everyone does that. Some people are extremely interested in costume designing and make-up and fall in love with a character's costume. Some people like the character. Some people think they look like the character. Some of them do like the attention. When you run around asking, WHY DO YOU ALL DO THIS??? it just makes you look like an idiot. Circumstances are different for everyone and it's nobody's business why someone wants to parade around in a fucking costume at a costume convention unless they want to share it. Now get the fuck over it.

But (in all seriousness) what makes you think all of those girls know nothing about the characters they are cosplaying? Do you go asking each and every single one of them? And most importantly, why do you care? When I see a terrible costume I side eye it and that's it. Do I think it's a terrible costume? HELL YEAH. Does it affects me? Nah. It's not that hard to ignore, really.

Then again, I really wish comic artists would give their female characters less skimpy outfits. For instance I love power girl and would really love cosplaying her, except for the fact there's just no way I'd wear those clothes.

THEN

<why> do you cosplay that character?

Yes? Sometimes it really is the costume and the enjoyment of crafting a 2D design into real life. Hell, the main reason why I wanted to do an iron man armor for halloween was because I'm an engineering student. I thought it'll be funny to see iron man attending engineering classes. The kids for the halloween carnival loved it as well because he's so recognizable.

Because they like the design? Because the costume looks fun or challenging to make? Because they just want to wear it? There are way more reasons than just wanting to be the character. Though I personally don't cosplay from source materials I don't enjoy, I won't always pick my favourite character from that series to cosplay.

I honestly don't think anyone gives two-shits less about females who dress provocatively for the attention. People fucking care if you lie about having even read the shit.

This.

The problem isn't the movies, it's the fact that women are, by their nature, trendhoppers. They didn't care about video games (and actively insulted people who did) until it was trendy to like them then suddenly HURR IMMA GURL GAMER I LOVE ZELDA MARIO HE DOES THE JUMPS xD. They didn't care about comic books (and actively insulted people who did) until the first Spiderman movie came out and those types of movies became popular, then HURRR IMMA COMIC BOOK NERD WHY SO SERIOUS xD. It's why the majority of women at any given con will be cosplaying whatever FotM animu girl has the least amount of clothing on or will otherwise gets them recognize by the most amount of people and get them the attention they so desperately want. Why do you think the majority of cosplayers are women? It's dress-up, except now if you're moderately attractive you're a big fish in a small pond and you don't have to compete with more attractive women like you would if you dressed like a slut at a party or something.

This thread seems as good a place as any to ask.

What's the proper etiquette on hooking up with girls at cons? They seem to be all over the place, some invite me back to their hotel room later and then there's half a dozen people sharing a 1 bedroom and it's awkward hooking up when people are coming and going. Some expect me to rent a room even though I wasn't planning on staying the night downtown. Some want to come back to my house and then they take off their costume and makeup and it kills my boner.

What's the most common way people do it? I hate uncertainty.

I really don't care if someone decides to cosplay a character when they have little experience with the franchise. If you like the design or just want to try making the costume then go for it.

The only thing that bugs me is when someone cosplays as a character from a more obscure franchise and tries to speak authoritatively on it when they have no idea what they're saying.
The "look at me I'm not like those casual sluts I love moe anime guys, honestly" is much worse.

I understand that you enjoy the look of the character. I understand if you were asked by a friend to dress up for their group. I also understand if you're a booth girl just doing her job. Hell, even girls who are just doing their Halloween thing.

But if you're galivanting around like White Phoenix of the Crown and don't have a single clue about the simple basics of the Phoenix Force and pretend you do, or dress up as bastardized versions of Avengers and pretending you suddenly know everything about them because you watched the movies, then you're probably going to have people call you out on your bullshit.

Woah, woah. I just finished reading through this thread and a lot of seems to have gotten waaaay off topic, but to respond to OP-

I am a lady. I have a vagina and boobies, I identify as a lady, etc. I also like comics! Western comics, manga and anime, underground, independent stuff, webcomics- I've a wide variety of tastes. I actually even studied comics for my four years of college, have worked at DC (under the amazing Shelly Bond, another -gasp!- lady who likes comics), and am working on writing and drawing my own comics, and working on breaking into the scene. So, yeah, I like comics, I am a nerd, etc.

I also happen to like cosplay! It's a fun hobby, I like making things, fashion and makeup are among my other interests (besides comics), and it's an easy way to say at conventions 'Hey! I like this thing that I'm dressed as!' Do I do it for attention? Yes! I want the attention of other fans of whatever I am dressed as. If a random fan comes up to me and starts talking about the series, will I talk to them? Yes! If they are getting too close and are acting like a creeper, will I do my best to remove myself from the situation? Yes! I know that I'm quite the antisocial nerd myself, but it seems that there's a huge portion of the nerd population (of both the male and female variety, I've observed) who just don't realize how creepy they're being. Which is to say, very.

tl;dr: I'm a lady, I like to cosplay, I like and read a lot of comics. And I'm quite certain that I'm not in the minority of the cosplaying population.

There are some people who cosplay for the heck of it (which is okay, IDGAF), most cosplay becuase they like the character. The idiots crying about it and the women downtalking "nerds" need to find something better to do.

doesn't all of this just come down to how long the medium was indeed dominated by males?

I can understand this: comic and video game nerd-dom was something that was exclusive to a lot of people growing up. back when the medium didn't hit the main stream, many of the people who enjoyed said medium were labeled, and attacked because they simply liked to read about Spiderman in high school. They were the nerd through thick and thin, and it has become part of who they are. Its now a kind of identity they carry with pride now, especially with all the crap they had to go through.

Now that things once considered nerd-exclusive interests such as comic books, video games, anime, and manga has hit the main stream, those who know that they are the 'real nerds' find these new comers to be awkward, clueless, and at times, infuriating. Introduce a female to the equation; these are the people who didn't give nerd the time of day. The people who even shunned nerds for simply being the nerd. It has become accustomed to most nerds that the occasional female nerd is a rare thing, and almost unthinkable. As the medium previously dominated by men are becoming more available for a lot of demographics, I think its going through growing pains. There are genuinely fake, horrid, and infuriating people who call themselves 'nerds,' but that's fine. it means that the things we liked once exclusively is becoming more accepted. The audience is growing. Compared to a decade ago, the nerdy-nature is much more accepted than before. (comparatively, of course)

Please keep in mind, I do not ignore the existence of nerd females who were indeed there with the guys through the toughest of times, but I'm speaking in generalities. It was 99 percent male, and its slowly moving to incorporate more females. I think this is great and wonderful, but also acknowledge that the process will not be painless.

tl;dr embrace the new wave. Life is too short to draw lines.

I would disagree, although I do see what you're saying.

Compared to a long ass time ago, the amount of females in the industry of games, comics, etc have jumped in a seemingly small amount of time, and I think its a safe assumption to make that those who want t o break into the industry are genuinely intrigued and passionate about it. From my limited knowledge of making a game or publishing a comic, it takes tremendous dedication and love to continue to be in the industry.

You could argue that 99% of them drop off at for the next big thing, but I think we'd all be better off by accepting the 1% that stayed. And even if they do break into the hobby by shallow interests or attention, it still opens them up to an amazing number of opportunities to be really invested into it.

Better someone than no one.

>> No.6428826

>>6428764
I wouldn't say 1% were females. Men were always a majority, yes. But we've always been there and always have been more than a measly 1%, or rare and occasional. We just hide our powerlevel. I knew plenty of other girls who would rather read comics and play video games than slather on their mom's and gossip about boys.

But before the internet was around, there wasn't much of a way to be vocal about it, other than attending conventions and things of that nature.

There are plenty of girls that do it for the attention, moreso today that in the past due to the internet. But there are by far many who don't and just don't speak up about it much, just as they always have.

>> No.6428850

>>6428826
I guess you could say that, but my point still stands; seeing that most females were hiding their power levels very well, I would argue that it is only recently that people have been aware of the female demographic. Either way, its something new that most first generation nerds are alien with, and that's where all the male/female lines come from in nerdy pastimes

This confuses me. Comic books have been designed to cater to men now for like 70 years. It confuses me that any large number of women would enjoy them. I hope that the artists actually don't change the way they draw for a new demographic.

Another thought I have had is that attention is really addictive. I imagine that most of us start as fans. Once nerds and geeks start giving a hot cosplayer attention they can quickly become addicted to it. They start doing it less and less for other reasons and more for just attention whoring. They then tend to cosplay from popular series and chose ones that show off their bodies. So in a sense male nerds are partly to blame for the rise of attention whore cosplayers.

There are more to comics than superheroes; in the 90s/00s, there was a huge rise in indie comics that appealed to more than adolescents/manchildren.

The only reason girls are into the geeky subculture is because they cannot compete in the normal market with better looking girls so they must cater to the niche market (like the geeks who are into anime & video games) so they can get the attention they crave.
Girls like Jnig and Hannah minx are girls who do this. Although they CAN compete in a normal market, why would they when the girls in the niche market aren't that better looking than them at all?

If a girl does somehow get a geeky boyfriend, she will learn what she can from him and then use that knowledge to show off her "Geek cred" so she can get more attention, and possibly a better boyfriend who can show her more things.

Geeky girls who aren't actually geeks are like symbiotes in that way. Ironic.

Although I used to think that girls can equally share the same interests in typically male dominated hobbies, the internet has shown me there are a LOT more girls who would do it just for the attention they can get, and the hype.

How many girls do you know have played Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Morrowind, or Planescape Torment? Probably not very many.
Now how many girls do you know play (own, or posed with the case on facebook) MW, Blackops, Skyrim, Zelda, Mario?

Or in the case of anime, when you ask a girl what anime has she seen what are the usual series?
Evangelion, Hetelia, Death Note, Elfen Lied, Cowboy Bebop... basically shit everyone has watched and rewatched to death since 2007.

Its the same way with anime, if you're gonna talk with people who are really into anime when all you've seen is the mainstream, entry level shows everyone has talked about to death, and can't even name ONE show you've seen this year.
You're not really into anime.

It doesn't have to be EVERY SINGLE series, but if you threw something like..."Yeah, I've been catching up on Binbougami Ga, and watching Magi." I honestly think that's enough to show that you actually like anime to keep up with at least a few shows every odd season.

Men hoping to get with the women who showed up, many of them normalfags who came just to fuck.

We get it dude, there needs to be background checks before anyone joins a fandom. If they don't meet the criteria, they'll be shot out of a canon.
Tonight, rest. Watching your latest and newest subbed anime and clutch to your chest the memories of the days of old.
Rest anon...rest

Pfft. Sure.
To say anyone doesn't cosplay for attention is stupid. Every cosplayer does.
Unless you want to have a 'who dresses more scantily' which would obviously be women because characters are drawn that way.

>Haha, I can't believe the lthere are "requirments" to be a nerd.
>>you have to read ALL THE COMICS TO EVEN COMC
I remember in second grade, a girl wouldn't kiss me on the playground because I couldn't name all the Backstreet Boys, even though Millennium was the first cd I ever bought.

Barriers of entry exist for any medium; it's just that comics are dominated by "nerds" (I use that term loosely, there is nothing inherently special about reading a 22 page picture book) who are typically desperate for female attention. And then feel duped when the attention they finally get turns out to be someone else's pursuit for attention.

Either way, Tony Harris was arguing for women to just know who they are cosplaying, something more than simple cursory knowledge gleamed off the internet. "Earning your stripes" and all that, which isn't unusual.

It's just women feel they need to fight for label "nerd", like equality is judged by the ability to attach a stupid word to themselves.

And what if you never say you're a "gamer gurl" and instead just say you enjoy to play games occasionally? Are you guys going to be butthurt about us up in your interests then too?
