/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

As much as they might care, they did sign a contract with the show.

>>7046912

You'd think they'd keep that in mind with all the fits they're throwing about negative feedback.

Link to these timeline flaws?

Did anyone else notice that they're showing that Tron dress Scruffy Rebel's friend made like three years ago in the advert for next week?

Wait, they stole another skit?
Didn't they also steal that Fushigi Yugi skit? Christ, these girls lack any sort of creativity.

>>7046933
can you take a screencap of the full page with the upload date on it?

>>7046940
I can't grab everything at once but here's the upload date

>>7046947
and here it is in the advert

>>7046928
god that lulu costume's awful.

>>7046948
We'll just have to see if they try to make it seem like he created the dress for a 2013 con, I guess

Did yaya ever give a response to the whole fiora thing?

>>7046953

Of course not.
And Victoria is answering all questions about her Lulu saying it's 'in a corner being punished' and ignoring all the ones that point out that she actually made it in 2012.

>>7046955
Where are people asking her? Facebook?

Oh God, my friend made that facebook post.
She got blocked from Yaya's page and also got that post deleted. Two other people, the ones who agreed with her, also got blocked and their respective comments deleted.

So much for Yaya being so perfect and sweet.

people watched a reality competition show about cosplay by syfy? the same gayboiis that made viral video showdown? man those guys nearly know how to pander to their 'audience'

I'd rather see stolen skits than this.

PLEASE stop posting that fucking Cats skit, god damn. It makes me cringe every time.

>>7046894
There are "heroes" in cosplay, you're all a bunch of narcissistic hedonistic self-centered pieces of shit. The nigger on the left would tell those kids to fuck right off if it was forbidden to take pictures of him being a "hero".

>tenleid wanting attention and grabbing it by being a bitch

>>7047247
What else do you except from a Canadian? Literally a country full of cancerous attention whores. Everything bad about /cgl/ comes from Canada.

>>7047326
BLAME CANADA

>heroes
They are women, what the fuck do you want them to do.
Are you outraged at a cat if it doesn't save its owner from a fire?

Just women being women.

>>7047453
did you even see the fucking show? They don't act like 'heroes'. All of them act like petty bitches.

only retarded fanboys and fangirls would look up to people like these.

>>7047457
>>7047453
They probably picked the name to pander to the people who think cosplay is "dressing up as superheroes and cartoon characters"

>>7046894
The real heroes of cosplay are those hot women who will have sex with the geeky guys with lots of money.

Or the hot guy who will have sex with the shy introverted geeky girls.

while in costume, because image is everything.

I love how /cgl/ bitches about how bitchy and drama full the show is. I find it beautiful and ironic.

>>7047542
What I don't get is why someone always comes into here and tries to call /cgl/ hypocrites when what's being complained about is something that, to a lot of people, is a legitimate thing to be upset about. Once again, its like no one is allowed to feel annoyed by bitches and whores who steal and lie. If you are, you must be jealous and fat.

This sort of Internet logic is getting old. So, when is someone going to create an argument that makes actual sense? I'm tired of seeing posts where people seem surprised and genuinely bothered that other people get bothered by shit. If it doesn't bug you, then why are you here? You obviously don't see eye to eye on the issue, so it defeats the point of posting to begin with.

Sounds like they should've chosen a different name for the show. Things like OPs image could have been avoided because now I think people dislike the show (among many many other reasons) because most of what they do isn't charitiable.
What name could they have chosen?
Oh yea
Yayas ride to fame

>>7047559
I love that /cgl/ is hypocritical, because /cgl/ as a whole IS hypocritical and has always been.

What is the legitimate thing to be upset about? It's obviously staged and scripted, it's not like they did a good job of acting. Is it because some people will think cosplayers are WEIRD? Because newsflash, the hobby IS weird. Is it because cosplayers are being represented as bitches? CGL is a kingdom of bitches, which is why people are so heavily invested in "outing" the show as stupid and fake but can't be bothered to do so under their tumblr name. Cudos to Tenleid for having balls!

You're calling them bitches and whores, that is already being bitchy yourself. You're just as much a bitch, but you obviously feel justified in being mad.

I don't know the cosplayers in the show, I don't cosplay in the states, I don't believe the hobby is going to be destroyed by a television show. So yeah, it doesn't bug me but I like to read through people's opinions on the show, laugh at the drama /cgl/ creates, laugh at the show itself, and I do find that the costumes that are showcased on the show are older than they are shown to be.

Just because I don't agree with your opinion, doesn't make any of my opinions invalid. If you just want to be validated for your anger, go post on facebook.

>>7047602
>>7047542
Here's the difference.

/cgl/ does not want or desire to be seen as the go to source or authority of all things cosplay related nor does it even consider itself the proper community to represent what cosplay is. Heroes of Cosplay is a show with pretensions of showing the world how cosplayers are not fuckups when in reality it just shows us a petty people.

/cgl/ is a community that is bad and we acknowledge it. Cosplay heroes is tryingto be the big hero of cosplay but is failing horribly.

>>7047602
>cgl is a hypocrite
You...you know that cgl isn't just one entity. You know more than one person posts here...right?

>>7047602
First off, I don't use Facebook. I don't have one, because I'm not interested in the site. Sorry, never have been. Not my thing.

Second, of course I'm bitchy about this. Where was I trying to hide that or say that I wasn't? Obviously if someone is irate, they're bitchy. Do you not understand how anger or frustration works?

I get that it's a weird hobby to some, but guess what? This show doesn't portray it in a better light. Why is it so wrong that a group of people with an innocent hobby don't want to be represented by people who are not good people? Why is it so wrong that people feel that this show does not properly showcase the community? It's suddenly wrong to not enjoy someone making you out to look like a jackass?

Obviously, if someone is going to do what these people have done, people won't be happy. People don't like to be misrepresented. People don't like to be shit upon. And, while within your own conscience you may know that you're not seeking out to be la most famousness cosplayer LIEK evur, it doesn't help when your community and those like you are painted in that light. It's offensive. And, there are plenty of ignorant masses who will treat you like shit and ignore your, "Wait, seriously, I'm not like those girls. Hear me out." It's still frustrating to have to deal with, especially for some of us who already deal with bullshit.

This board may have its catty members. It has its bitches. I'm not denying this. I've been insulted here before, but I don't blame the board as a whole. Multiple people post here, from many places. And, this board doesn't try to act like its the go to authority on cosplay. It doesn't dub itself a deity or goddess, nor claim to want for change and peace amongst its kind yet do jack shit about it. To have someone do that and then claim to be an ambassador for an entire community of people which grows everyday, is understandably annoying.

>>7047609
Who cares if they make asses of themselves on tv? It mostly makes the people on the show look bad. Even if it does make other cosplayers look bad, who cares? Are your friends suddenly going to believe the television and turn on you? Are you unable to explain that the show isn't an accurate representation? I would hope that people aren't applying to jobs and saying they are a "cosplayer" first and foremost, so it's not really going to cause people to judge you before meeting you.

Will digging up photos proving the show is faked cause it to get cancelled? Unlikely. That petition that is floating around has more of a chance. Nothing here is particularly productive in changing or ending the show, it's just venting.

I do know that continued discussions about the show and telling people not to watch the show will encourage more people to watch it. Tons of people are going to watch the second episode, not just because they like the show but because they want to keep up with the drama. Infamy is just as good as fame, in the sense that they will get viewers.

>>7047602
And, as I had stated prior: If you truly don't give a shit about this as an issue, then you don't and won't give a shit. So, I still don't see why you're here.

>>7047649
You're totally fine to hate the show, I respect everyone's personal opinions on it. I'm not calling any one person hypocritical, I called the board as a whole hypocritical. I find it amusing.

People are mad about it showing the show as full of drama and bitchyness. The community responds by sending hate mail, calling the people on the show bitches and digging up pictures to prove that the show is scripted. Then going as far as to post the pictures to tumblr in the hopes that the people on the show find it and get mad about it.

I just think it is hilarious, ironic and beautiful.

The main thing that bothers me is that I see people defending the show by saying, "But this is what competitive cosplay is really like!"

And it's really not. At least, not unless you make it that way.
I've been in a lot of contests and I always end up making friends with the other contestants or having a lot of fun, sharing different techniques in the green-room, etc.
I'm not saying that people like these girls don't exist, however. For every contest I've ever been in, there are a small few people who enter like they know they're going to win, throw tantrums when they lose, treat everyone else as though they were beneath them, etc. And those are exactly the type of people they've featured to be on the show.

>>7047671
>The community responds by sending hate mail, calling the people on the show bitches and digging up pictures to prove that the show is scripted.
>the community
I can assure you there is no 'community' of seagulls who get together and coordinate how much hate mail they want to throw at Yaya on a given day. To imply there's some kind of cgl group behind this hate mail stuff is bullshit when it's only the acts of random people who actually go forward and do anything. If I as someone from cgl decides to laugh and make a comment at it, it doesn't mean I'm participating in any of this.
It takes me no amount of effort to type a passing comment on the drama for five minutes and hit the submit button.

I'm personally not mad by any of this. I know it's scripted, reality television. But hey, if other people want to have a discussion about it then why not say my two cents? I won't lose sleep and neither with Yaya.

Yaya's Domino looks like shit.

Couldn't spring for the white body paint, huh? Lazy.

>>7047671
But, asking nicely isnt going to get anyone anywhere. The actions taken HAVE to be blunt, because these people won't listen any other way.

>>7047719
Shouldn't that be expected by now? She always half asses cosplays or tries to put her own spin onto it, which ends up making it look shittier.

it's like yaya whiteknights can't deal with the fact that their 'queen' is the cause of the worst reality show of this year.

>>7046975

At first, I was wondering why this was relevant. And then...
>"Team Crabcat presents!"
Jesus.

>>7047730
I wish Yaya would meet New York. Now, THAT is some shit I'd watch.

I wish the whole thing can stop. I actually lost a friend because of this whole debate. Although I didn't even go as far as insulting yaya or her castmates, but was just pointing out the obvious lies and her hypocrisy.

>>7047754
Anon, your "friend" sounds immature as shit. You're better off.

>>7047760

To be fair
I'll admit I may say some things that is not necessary to say such as her plastic surgery. But still this is not something worth fighting for since its just a show and I'm not trying to bully anyone.

Holy shit. Can I just not like a shitty reality tv show for it's bad script, bad information, and bad portrayal of cosplayers without being told I somehow mean for normalfags to continue this 'perception' that cosplayers are shitty basement dwellers or children? Because I believe there's something better to offer other than the sweaty insoles of Yaya's cleavage and her crazy twats for castmates?
Is this what it's come to? Seriously? Why are people letting this dumb tv show polarize and alienate others from the cosplay community?

>>7047795
Technically, that could be deemed relevant, though. It says a lot about someone if they're willing to get that sort of surgery for cosplaying. It says even more when they get them obviously seeking attention, make costumes centered around them, bitch about the attention, but then go on a TV show and claim to love attention. It's a back and forth of bullshit that would confuse and annoy plenty. She doesn't want them focused upon? Then, she shouldn't have gotten them. Nobody forced her to. Nobody forced her to purposefully create costumes that don't even have cleavage in order to show them off, either.

Yet she does it. She made her bed and now she needs to sleep in it.

>>7047793
People gave you answers just like they've been giving everyone else in other threads answers, dude. You just don't give a shit about their reasoning or you don't understand it. Either one is fine, but you HAVE been given explanations from people who feel pissed. I don't see why you're acting like nobody is explaining anything to you when it just seems like the reasons that you're being given, you're deeming as not good enough.

>>7047809
Exactly! I have nothing against plastic surgery and Yaya is definetely a human being just like everyone else, but that reason alone screams Hypocrisy! I'm tired of people calling out on me for having problems with women baring their skin which is not true since I don't mind people cosplaying skimpy outfits just as long as they don't overly slutify the character who isn't suppose to wear anything skimpy. I also support that girl who cosplayed as Captain America at SDCC while she bears her skin despite her body size. Just because I was pointing out her plastic surgery (which she admits) doesn't mean I'm against plastic surgery or showing off their bodies.

someone know where i can watch it online? im not from the US and im way too lazy to download it

>>7047853
It's never been about her not being permitted to show herself off. Had she actually been born large breasted and chose not to get a reduction due to lack of funds or fear of going under the knife, I could understand and completely sympathize, even if I think that the woman is a bitch. My mother had implants and they fucked up; Ruined a nerve and her one nipple was always hard. She had winking boobs. I didn't learn what sort of risks come with that surgery until she told me that hers were fake. I also didn't know that they're a long term investment; Its not just one and done. You have to keep going back to get them fixed as you age, because they WILL shift and move and you'll look retarded.

But, here's the thing; The surgery is elective. Cosmetic. Not medically necessary. It's not needed in order for you to survive. She got it done for attention and shows them off, but then complains. Well, what were you expecting, bitch? You could have stayed normal looking, but you chose not to. You're the one who blew the time and money to get these and show them off. You'd be fucking complaining if you got them and nobody paid attention. So, which is it? Do you want attention or don't you?

>>7047853
>I also support that girl who cosplayed as Captain America at SDCC while she bears her skin despite her body size.

Nobody should be showing that much skin in cosplay regardless of their size. Period. That girl would be a retarded attention whore walking around in an inaccurate costume made up of nothing but underwear even if she were skinny.

No matter what size you are that shit was stupid and has nothing to do with what cosplay is actually about, which is accuracy above anything else.

>>7047822
So it's pretty much
>have a reasonable opinion
>HAHA NOPE WE'RE ALLOWED TO GIVE YOU SHIT BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE OUR GLORIOUS COSPLAY SHOW FEATURING YAYA SO NAH NAH NAH XD

>they've been giving you answers, dude
>implying I've been around for thread after thread and I'm not just giving a general vent
Okay autist. Knock yourself out here.

>>7047896
But, I don't like the show?

>>7047910
Okay? Neither do I.

>>7047921
But, you said that I did? And, I didn't justify people being an ass to you. I said that you were given answers as to why people feel alienated, here in this thread. And, you seem unwilling to even accept those.

>>7047717

>>7048036
That was pretty sophomoric.

Can we talk about how Yaya fantards are getting upset that someone is selling this shirt for charity?

>>7046894
Who is the Wasp again?

>>7048255

And again I wonder how long it going to take for all those involved to go into 'sinking ship' mode to try and save their reputations.

You'd always be remembered as the crying/crazy/ungrateful/lazy/partying cosplay from the show.
I know they made up personalities for the drama but dude, now everyone will associate you with that. Also, you had the power to say NO when they told you what the show was going to be like. It was only their egos that got them into this mess.

>>7048255
Oh man, I was wondering when that would end up here.
I wrote that Nerd Junkies rant (a rant mind you, not a review because then I'd have to try to be less catty and bitchy) that's been going around, and I put that shirt up because of Decade's story about a run in with Yaya from a while back. (I also plan a follow up since I've been in contact with several people who were on the show for doing competitions they filmed at, and oh shit the things they told me)
Personally, I know I'm angry and bitchy and drama filled. I'm also not on TV. I just want my shirt, and so do some others. I don't want money. I don't care if people agree with me. Everyone that's that mad about the shirt needs to calm their yayas.

>>7048282
Actually, from what I've gathered, that's why JNig isn't on the show. Apparently she was supposed to be, and bowed out. Which is good on her part.

>>7048299
Damn, my level of respect for her is now nonnegative.

>>7048325
Same.

>>7048294
>Everyone that's that mad about the shirt needs to calm their yayas.
lold

>>7048299

Jnig played it smart I see.

>>7048325
Same, this whole ordeal has made me kind of like J-Nig.

Stop it. Jessica Nigri didn't go on the show because there would be nothing to follow considering there is no way in hell you could even fake the fact that she actually makes her own shit.

>>7048579

They blatantly showed Victoria and Yaya's boyfriends making their shit. I don't think it'd be a huge step.

>>7048631
Jessica doesn't have a boyfriend to make her shit for her though. All footage of Jessica would be footage of Volpin making something, her waiting for something in the mail while she is in a tanning booth, or her going into Victoria's Secret.

>>7048635
I thought Volpin only made like one thing for her though? I mean, yes she doesnt make her shit but it would just be other people, I guess.
Didn't she make the GoW stuff though?

>>7048638
Yes, she totally made all that stuff out of fiberglass and sanded all that fiberglass while she was wearing nothing but that a top and a pair of denim shorts. Totally.

>>7048299
She bowed out because she was offered more money for the video game gig. I would've made the same move. But I bet if she could've done both, she would have. The "I didn't do it because DRAMA" thing is bullshit

>>7048641
I dunno man, I don't follow Jnig drama. Im not surprised though.

>>7048672
this! money talks .... people go wherever the cash it has nothing to do with trying to avoid drama or avoiding a tv show that will make you look bad

>>7048579
She bowed out because she knew her ass would be in a corner trying to sew a bombshell bra, Anon. She doesn't make her own shit. Go white knight somewhere else.

>>7048267
Riki LeCotey. Plenty of questionable photos online of her, nude and otherwise.

>>7048635
Yes she does along with pumping up her "nerd cred" online all the time.


Does a bra and a skirt count as "cosplay" anyway?

>>7048672
Well, that makes way more sense. I wanted to believe, I should have known better.

>>7048827
If it makes my dick hard, it counts.

All I know is pretty much any reality-based show is chopped up to mincemeat and reassembled to however the editors please to make almost any scenario they want. This can be easily done with using reactions faces from different parts of the scene, adding music stings to make something seem more dramatic, goofy, awkward, whatever. I just feel bad that the girls are going ot get even more scrutiny over things that aren't even their fault when the internet has already torn them up for super pointless things like having an opinion on anything or wearing the wrong makeup with a costume. Are they completely blameless? No, they should have expected this from signing onto a reality show, but I don't think they were expecting it to be THIS bad.

>>7047944
>But, you said that I did?
Except I definitely didn't.
>And, you seem unwilling to even accept those.
How dare I not read this clusterfuck of a thread on the archives and make a general rant directed at nobody. People like you are so quick to be smartasses you don't even realize how stupid you sound.

>>7049019
There's a degree of editing involved, but a lot of what's been going on with this show is not "Surprise! You got a bad edit!" it's the producers having them fake shit.

>'omg YAYA'S judging??'
>acting like they aren't friends with her
>specifically saying that the costume needs to be done in time for WW when it was already finished and premiered for Katsucon
>Lulu costume isn't finished! zomg!
etc

There's a difference between a simple bad edit and staging. They know what they're doing when they are asked to stage and fake BS.

>>7049030

someone's on the rag. typical bitchy seagull.

The real heroes of cosplay are the people who will never get media coverage. They don't earn any profits from cosplaying. They visit sick kids in the hospital in costumes to brighten up their day. That to me is heroes of cosplay. They might not have great photography, might not have detailed costumes, but they are heroes to me.

I'm just an outsider to the cosplay community, so my opinion doesn't mean anything.

>>7049019
>I don't think they were expecting it to be THIS bad.

They didn't really seem to care or even bother to ask what the show entailed. Most, if not all of them looked at it as a way to get popularity, even if that meant a shitload of misconceptions about cosplay as a whole. Maybe they thought the show wouldn't be as scripted and as inaccurate, but that doesn't change the fact they signed a contract with the channel because they knew that it'd give them popularity. However I'll give you the fact that maybe they weren't expecting such reaction from the community.

>>7049092
they probably figure that as long as their base fans like it, it's gonna be okay. I would not be surprised at all if they don't care about general community reaction.

>>7049148
This, it was never a show meant to be watched by cosplayers to begin with; its' target market is shitty reality television watchers.

>>7046933
>>7046948
So does anyone know if she actually made this dress? Because it looks identical to a dress I bought a couple years ago (mine was black but I can't find a stock photo)

>>7049249
Post a picture of your dress?

>>7049249
I had a Betsey Johnson dress in black/pink that looked exactly like that...

>>7049249
This is so unfortunate. I really hope Betsey Johnson sues them for ripping her design if they don't credit her.

Jinyo explains why the show is called Heroes of Cosplay

This show isn't made for cosplayers to watch. IF you are a cosplayer and watch this you would probably fell like a dumb shit or "wtf did I see?"
Why? Because there is no content in it, it's pretty empty (1st episode only though)

Also if people will judge cosplayers based on the cast about 9 10 people? Then they are stupid as well... It's like watching jersey shore and sudenly everbody who goes to night clubs are pimps and whore. Get over yourself.
People will judge you if you give them reasons for it.

PLUS if you're not a cosplayer or community envolved you won't have that much of a bad time watching it since I showed it to friends and boyfriend and they were like "what of it? It's nothing special, just a show."
If you're so worried with outsiders you are on the wrong track.

Mostly people involved and cosplayers are mucking a fuss of it, out of nothing, leave the damn show you are the ones giving it importance and feeding the trolling. It's not with the show they'll get famous but thanks to the shitstorm that is happening.
People forget th show as soon ad it ends but they'll not forget so soon the shitstorm that happened in cosplay general.

SO, brace yourselfs and stop fedding the bitches

>>7049249
>>7049266
>>7049273

It's an awful picture but I think we have a winner.

>>7049278
Even has the same front middle seam.
>Dis gone be gud

>>7049249
It doesn't look like her friend just added LED wires onto the Betsey Johnson dress because the Tron dress has fewer... curl things. But they totally stole the design, yeah.

>>7049447
It says on her FB page that the dress was inspired by Betsy Johnsons dress style, so who cares?

5 minutes on photoshop. what do you think? She modified the Betsy Johnson dress?

>>7049548
no, the number of panels are totally different, the material is different, and she has panels sewn into the sides of the dress. It's more likely they used it as inspiration.

>>7049548
Yes.

>>7049280
Could we shop this photo any more? The leds don't look that bright on camera unless she's standing there for awhile perfectly still with the aperture still open.

. You can see the different material and panels in this shot

>>7049534
There's a difference between something inspiring you and completely ripping the entire thing. It's like tracing.

>>7049581
But isn't cosplay essentially ripping an entire thing? Like when you cosplay and make costumes based off of characters aren't you doing a three dimensional tracing of a character anyway?

I'm playing devil's advocate here. I honestly hate when people don't do actual character designs and instead do shit like shit this, but I still want to hear an answer for this anyway.

>>7049581
So what if they used a Jessica MccLintock pattern instead, and made it the same color as the picture on the pattern? Would that be like tracing? Would they have to scream THIS IS JESSICA MCCLINTOCKS at every moment? She stated it was inspired by Betsey Johnson. There are differences between the Dahlia dress and her dress. I don't see what the problem is.

>ITT people that don't respect art

>>7049548
>>7049558
Also, look at the way that the panels are sewn. In the Betsey dress each panel is a princess seam and don't continue into each other. In the Tron dress each panel is connected so you can follow a line from top to bottom. You can't do that with the original Betsey dress.

>>7049586
The difference is that cosplay is a tribute thing. It would be a little silly to scream rip-off when the entire concept of cosplay is recreating existing characters as closely as possible.

You don't accuse someone of being a copycat when they use cake mix to make cake, even though someone else came up with the recipe; that's what it's intended to do.

Come on guys, let's get this thread back on track.

I think these three are some real heroes of cosplay! They meet and greet with children (for a slight fee, of course) but make their dreams come true! They appear at charity events and host birthday parties and all sorts. Making children happy makes someone a hero of cosplay, not wearing skimpy clothes for your own self-gratification.

>>7049614
that mika's fucking nuts

>>7049621
Oh shush you, she's lovely. She puts so much work into her costumes too, and tries really hard to get into character. Better than so many girls these days that just pose bent over and doing slutty poses and such.

>>7049586
But this isn't ripping a character design. This is an "original" character outfit.

>>7049614
Doesn't she just poorly attempt to replicate the park designs now?

(And of course, with Victoria out of the way she's still and will always be the "centre of attention" because who would she let do that besides herself?)

if cosplay is a tribute thing, then what does that make selling poster prints of cosplay?

Chloe is doing an IAmA on Reddit tomorrow night at 7 pm EST.

Im just going to link to my tumblr post and downvote away.

although i do think reddit stops mass downvoting from happening. whatever.

>complaining a reality TV show is scripted
>2013

Come on, it's not even harmful scripting. It's literally SHE MADE THAT COSTUME BEFORE THAT DATE. Seriously and the rest of the world continued not giving a fuck.

>>7049796
Oh boy, here comes I-Whoreny herself, defending her fellow whores!

>>7049825
And yet I am not the one whoring out my tumblr to get more notes and followers huehuehuehuehue.

So bored of everyone's opinions of this show, good or bad. SO FUCKING BORED. Every cosplayer has a soapbox to shout from lately and it's doing my head in because few cosplayers have an IQ high enough to write anything remotely close to interesting.

It's like oh shit nothing much happens in the cosplay community BETTER FUCKING JUMP ON THIS.

>>7049277
>This show isn't made for cosplayers to watch. IF you are a cosplayer and watch this you would probably fell like a dumb shit or "wtf did I see?"
Why? Because there is no content in it, it's pretty empty (1st episode only though)

Of course it isn't. I think everyone in here knows it's not meant to be for cosplayers; the reason they're getting upset is because it portrays cosplay inaccurately. They wouldn't give a shit if Yaya or anyone from the cast appeared as long as they portrayed what cosplay is truly about.

>Also if people will judge cosplayers based on the cast about 9 10 people? Then they are stupid as well... It's like watching jersey shore and sudenly everbody who goes to night clubs are pimps and whore. Get over yourself.

It's a television show. Television caters to masses. How many people have gotten misconceptions about the show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings? You're underestimating the power of tv shows, especially "reality" shows.

>PLUS if you're not a cosplayer or community envolved you won't have that much of a bad time watching it since I showed it to friends and boyfriend and they were like "what of it? It's nothing special, just a show."

>If you're so worried with outsiders you are on the wrong track.

I'm an outsider yet have friends who cosplay and I still saw what was wrong with the show.
I don't even cosplay, wouldn't even think of doing it, yet I fucking knew it was bullshit since the beginning and completely understand why people are upset.

>Mostly people involved and cosplayers are mucking a fuss of it, out of nothing, leave the damn show you are the ones giving it importance and feeding the trolling. It's not with the show they'll get famous but thanks to the shitstorm that is happening.

Well uh I mean if someone made a tv show out of a hobby of mine and portrayed it inaccurately, and on top of everything if I saw outsiders believing what the show's saying, you better bet I'm gonna be upset.

>>7049796
>it's not even harmful scripting

From upcoming episodes:

The producers asked someone to tell a contestant she had camel toe and had her a pad. The producers made it appear like a specific group of people were insulting one of the contestants when in reality the insult came from a random person in a crowd.

In addition to that, people dislike it when they are lied to. Especially when the contestants ignore those lies or delete comments/block people who point out: "You premiered this at ____. How can you say it's not done?" or "You guys know each other. Why are you acting like you don't?" These aren't some random obscure people, it's people that have made a name by attention whoring and are now upset because people know enough about them to point out the bullshit.

Her dad is notable and her boyfriend is notable. She herself is not. So of course she acts this way. I almost feel bad for her.

>>7049277
>>7049796
And, once again, I find myself wishing that I had saved that screenshot that someone took of Yaya's tweet where she stated that the community needs to come together and not be divided. So, in it's place, I'm just going to leave this here:

http://geekspodcast.com/2013/03/06/how-cosplay-elitism-hurts-the-community/

This article and the woman herself are saturated in hypocrisy. If indeed the show wasn't created for the enjoyment of cosplayers and instead to inaccurately portray them, then what is the point of claiming that we as cosplayers need to band together in this kumbaya sewing circle bullshit? "Yes, hi, I'm a person in this community and I consider myself an ambassador and someone to look up to, but I'm going to push this project for three years until I get my way so I can achieve fame and money. Even if it means making fun of the community that I claim to care oh so dearly about."

To outsiders, Yaya and these attention whores are martyrs. To the community, they're nothing but a fresh pile of geese shit that you accidentally step in while you're out for a jog. Outsiders truly think that they're community ambassadors. To people who don't know them and their bullshit, it gives them a fresh start. And, when people have called them out on their shit, they delete comments, block people, and deem them as "trolls". People don't like being lied to.

To keep the show going, they have to lie. Even if it's at the expense of an entire community that they, once again, claim to give so much of a shit about. That's fucked up, no matter how much you try to put on your rose tinted glasses and say otherwise. It is fucked up to go on and on for years, giving people the impression that you give a shit about them as fellow human beings who share a common interest when you actually fucking don't. The martyr complex bullshit is getting so old and I am so sick and tired of seeing it.

>>7050288
But, wah wah. We don't like the show. You know what we should get Yaya for Christmas, guys? A big wooden cross, so that every time she feels unappreciated for her sacrifices, she can climb on up and nail herself to it.

>>7050288
>caring about the cosplay "community"
But they're all a bunch of shits, why care for them? There isn't some magic connection to everyone else that cosplays which means you have to ensure they're treated right.

How does "popular opinion" even matter to your own individual cosplaying? So what if some random chicks are getting dosh and attention while shitting up the "popular opinion" of cosplay?

>>7050312
They're not obligated to give a shit about the community. However, she is the one who will tweet and make Facebook statuses saying otherwise. She says that she cares about the whole community. That she's an ambassador. That x needs to change or this or that, but never does shit for anyone else but herself. That's where the problem is, because she's full of shit.

Nothing wrong with not wanting to give a shit about the community in some sort of bond. Just don't fucking go around acting as if you're some sort of martyr who helps Terezi cosplayers to regain sight or some horseshit.

It matters because people consider themselves to be a part of this community and when your community is represented by a bunch of shitbags who lie and create drama, it's understandably frustrating and annoying.

>>7050296
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK
okay you got me

>>7050312
Because some (non-juvenile)people actually care what their friends and family think of their chosen hobby, and already have to deal with enough nervousness and shame when explaining to both strangers and family what I do with my free time. Right now I just say "propmaking", and I'd love to be able to have enough pride rather than shame to say the truth. This show is a travesty and a detriment to that cause.

>>7050288

Because that bunch of shits is getting under a media's spotlight to tell everyone what cosplay is about. That's why. It's not rocket science, put two and two together.

It matters because that popular opinion shits on your hobby and it makes the people from the community get the wrong kind of impression from outsiders. Again, put two and two together.

>>7046933
Yaya did say that everything has been being filmed for 3 years. So it doesn't surprise me.

>>7050459
jebus christ, this crap show took three years to develop?

>>7050459
Actually they started filming only early this year. She has been trying to get the show started for 3 years.

>>7050487
Except they had footage of last years WCS finalists practicing for the competition. You seriously aren't going to tell me they went in and got them to act like they were practicing for/competing in this years WCS are you?

>>7050498
I think it's pretty clear they got footage from other people, the shots from Katsucon 2012 were taken from an acksonl video.

>>7050502
what are the chances that syfy didn't get permission to use those footages?

>>7050514
non-zero

From a journalistic point of view, there a way to articulate precisely why this show this a problem without Yaya and her cult ramming a libel charge up my ass?

>>7050502
But I mean when they sit down and talk to her in the ballet studio. That wasn't done for other people, and they had her in her house talking about it like she was making it that moment. I'm fairly sure this has been filming for awhile.

>>7050521
What are they going to do? Sue you for having an opinion?

>>7050523
when did they talk to her in the ballet studio? You must mean the other cosplay documentary ?

>>7050534
Well, considering Yaya tried to enforce C&Ds on people selling cat ears...

>>7050557
Keyword: Tried.

>>7050521
They can't sue you unless you're posting something incriminating.

haha.. reading this almost made me piss myself laughin. No show, is ever gonna change anyones mind about cosplayers. We are what we are, and guess what cosplay is full of weebous of all ages who live in their parent's basements. Who gives a flying rats ass, what norms think of us. It's ours and seriously no one else should have it.

>>7053443
because this makes it far worse

not even five minutes in and of course they have to name drop Jessica Nigri

>>7051150
I'm pretty sure you were refering to the Disney princesses, but just in case you were thinking about ops pic with the stormtrooper...
That stormtrooper is a member of the 501st Legion, and they DO NOT get paid. They are all volunteer. The 501st has rasied millions for charities all over the world, visited childrens hospitals, again all over the globe, and never recieve a penny to do so. Also, they are not even remotely funded by Lucas Film, all those costumes are bought from their own pockets, and they are not cheap either, take a good Vader for instance, those things are like 4 to 7 thousand dollars, and theat is not including all the other things needed to keep it maintained, transported, gas to get to an event, etc etc etc. Most of the time, they only get a thank you, and a bottle of water or 2 for their time to visit a hosptial, or chairty function.
And when at those functions, they do their best at never even taking off their helmets, which means no "fame" per say, just a faceless volunteer, bringing some joy to a sick or dying child and their family, or faceless person raising money for some good cause.
I'm not ranting at ya, but thought this would be a good time to mention a little bit about what the 501st does, since there was a photo of one of them in OPs post, and since cgl is more anime/lolita slanted, some people may have no clue what the 501st is, and may have always thought they are paid by Lucas Film.

when we were pointing out people being shit crazy, why did no one bring up the lines from these costume critiques on the website? you want vicious, well, here it is. yaya tears apart every body for their costume, even for silly stuff thats part of the design, or for things she does herself - get help from the hubby/adapt the design for your body. she ragged on jesse for his armor looking so good in episode one that she wasnt sure he made it.

http://www.syfy.com/videos/Heroes%20of%20Cosplay/The%20Cast%27s%20Critiques/vid:2669147

>>7058364
Lol you think Yaya was bad? She was honest and fair, in my opinion. MONIKA, on the other hand, hoo boy she sure was a bitch considering how absolutely mediocre her own costume was.

>>7058364
would anyone be able to rip this, or is there another non US only source?

>>7051150

Just to add to this, *true* 501st level armor is pricey. They will rate the quality of your gear before you're officially accepted. A buddy of mine is a Bike Rider armor and he spent a small fortune to achieve 501st event access. You know, the guys that do the big media events and concerts occasionally.

>>7047719
>>7047727

Hilarious, considering how on the show she seemed displeased by the Hellgirl using a red zentai vs. bodypaint, and called it lazy.

Also all Yaya's bitching about the Tron dress girl not making it herself... because Yaya makes all of her own costumes, right? Hah.

>>7048299

She was in it, though. Briefly, but still.

The girl in the sexy Poison Ivy costume (that Yaya dissed by saying something like "'sexy' versions are lazier"-) walked off stage and was sad because she didn't place and it showed her and JNig hugging while JNig consoled her and told her she looked great and shit.

>>7061747
well you kind of want to comfort your friends and monika seems to take all this personally. she did ok, but there was nothing amazing about that outfit. her facial expressions and poses are dull. research, practice, and try harder next time.

>>7061335
I know, I am a member, and I have 3 legion approved costumes.

Fun fact about the bikerscout, a lot of people who are interest in joining the 501st think the fast and cheapest way to get their foot in the door is making a scout, which is not true at all. The scout costs about the same and sometimes a bit more then a TK (stormtrooper), looks simple to make, but can get complex. Hell my scout bucket costs more then a tk, and more then a really good normal motorcycle helmet.
Oh and don't get me started about what went into making my jawa! I was totally off base one that one, I was thinking I could whip one out for around 100 bucks or so, WRONG. I am sure, you could, but it would come out looking like a "Party City Speeshul", and not get approval by legion standards.

And yep, the 501st is often invited to do various media events, from something small to big things like concerts and theme parks ( Disney Star Wars Weekends), but we never get paid for it, ever. It's all volunteer. For Disney Star Wars weekends down in Orlando, we go on down, suit up, sweat our asses off, wait, wait, and more waiting in the Fla heat and humidity in armor, walk the parade, and get to hang out in the park after ( sans costumes, as they don't allow us to after). Then we go home, and we don't even get free hotel rooms.
But I love it, and trooping is a blast!

But I have a question for those still reading the threads. The 501st doesn't refer to what we do as cosplay, do yall consider us cosplayers? When I hear the term, I always think of folks who are into the japan and games fandoms. So, what do yall think?

>>7062267
cosplay has simply become a "catch-all" term over the last 15+ years of the big anime push in the states. 15 years ago, a few may have said it was cosplaying and more likely just call it larping as that's what it's closest to. nowadays most will call it cosplaying and some will still remember the term larping.

>>7062332
How is it closest to larping when there's no role playing involved? Being in character during an event isn't the same thing as role playing. Larping and cosplaying are tangentially related at best.

Although the phrase cosplay was coined by a japanese person, it was used in reference to a largely white demographic at a convention in Los Angeles almost 30 years ago (World Science Fiction Convention). While it's true the phrase has gained popularity in the last decade and a half due to anime conventions, cosplaying itself is not a japanese notion or idea. 15 years ago, cosplaying was still plenty popular, if not as mainstreamed as today.

>>7062267
Hey, I'm the same as you, but... I honestly call us cosplayers.
I mean, that is what we do.
Yes, we take it to the furthest level we possibly can, but we are still cosplayers

ANIME? WHAT'S THAT???

I'm disappointed because I would hope/assume this show would go more like Project Runway, where cosplayers would have to choose one of their top 3 dream cosplays, and then be given some funding to complete it in a set amount of time (say, a month before the con, depending on complexity). That would go way farther to highlight the individual steps taken, the techniques used, problems, etc. Each "season" could focus on a particular con, with each episode focusing on a single cosplayer. So say, a ten-episode season, 3 episodes dedicated to each cosplayer, then the last one being the actual judging at the convention. But from what I've gotten reading about it through these threads, there's almost nothing like that?

>>7062779
THIS, I'd love to see this

>>7062779

>>7062779
the entire show is 'All Hail Yaya'

>>7062779
This was what I was expecting, and was obviously monumentally disappointed. It's still kind of enthralling to watch, like a train wreck.

>>7062779
its "Yaya's ego masturbation trainwreck"

your idea would probably be watchable

"I was stunned and honored when Pas and I won the Best in Show award against a wide field of extraordinarily talented cosplayers. We spent that first night astonished, flattered, and excited that the $1800 cash prize would help pay for the 1800-mile round trip from Colorado.

Except the next day after several conversations with staff we learned that there wasn’t a cash prize… we needed to fill out some forms by email and then we’d get some other form of payment. In the next few weeks most or all the other teams got their smaller prizes. Pas and I did not. We sometimes went weeks and later months between responses from the cosplay head, were promised several times that the payment would be out within the week, but it never was."

Jinyo's dress is NOT a tradtional cosplay form. This TRON dress was led to believe that he came up with the dress styling idea himself.

It is only until this episode aired that he felt the need to justify who inspired the dress design but F'd up mentioning Betsy Johnson at all because he blatantly copied that dress!

>>7063243
Yes. This is why you don't see anybody over 18 working retail. Certainly the fact that the market free fell in 2008 and we ended up in the worst economy since the Great Depression has nothing to do with it.

It was because of the show that they upped the cash prize. And apparently, posting it to Tumblr worked. They woke up this morning with their cash prize sent to their Paypals.

>>7062267
I started in anime cosplay, then joined the 501st and Rebel Legion. Just structurally it's a lot different than cosplay.

- Done in a big group rather than individual or small group.
- Highly organized.
- No competition.
- Based on live action costumes, unlike animanga/comics cosplay, which means you have to be accurate to a lot more construction details and use a set range of materials. ("Must be princess seamed," "Must be made of a 1999 Venus razor.")
- Often not cosplaying a specific character at all. Sure in /cgl/-style cosplay you sometimes get people playing a video game character class, and there are specific characters you can costume for in the 501st, but /cgl/'s cosplay is usually a specific character and the 501st is usually a faceless trooper.

I still think of it as cosplay, but it's kind of in between cosplay and historical re-enactment.

(If anyone is seriously thinking about getting into the 501st, the cheapest costume is undoubtedly Imperial Officer Corps, and that's at least $275 if you get your IOC uniform from CosplaySky, eBay your boots, and get second-hand belt/cap/rank bars/code cylinders.)

Image somewhat related, it's Victoria/scruffyrebel as Jaina Solo.

>>7063750
did you miss the part where everyone hates Victoria? Could've picked any other 501 photo.

>>7063764
Related to Heroes of Cosplay /and/ the Rebel Legion.

>sage fail

Oh fuck me. I'm out for the night.

>>7063750
needs more of dat victoria ass.

I just watched the show as a non-seagull and heres my reactions:

1) the hot of the cosplay show should not be the host because although she is hot, she knows shit about fuck
2)Yaya is clearly queen of core cosplayers based on her capacity for 'fridgid bitch'
3) although cool, the guy that is on it is clearly only on it because they needed a token male figure
4) Jessica Nigiri (spelling?) is way cooler than I thought she was

def. will keep watching

>>7063764
i used to like victoria's jaina shots a lot, but heroes of cosplay has ruined them for me

thanks, obama

>>7064012
Host of the cosplay show***
The one that did lydia

>>7064015
chloe

>>7064965
Yes, thank you. I was tired last night and to lazy to look it up. Chloe has an amazing personality and looks, but fails to grasp the depth and scope of the cosplay community. And I base this on a 1 hours episode. Cant wait for tomorrow night.

>admits
When the fuck did Yaya ever admit to having a boob job? (Assuming that's all she's had done. I seem to remember rumors of a lip job.)

>>7065035
yaya admits to having a boob job every time she shows those puppies off.

>>7065035

>>7065159
Shes got her old wedding ring on in that shot. Poor bastard. On her old site she used to go on about how he paid for aspects of her cosplay.

>>7065159
she doesn't even look like the same person

>>7065175
Well she did learn to pose better later on

>>7065061

They also look like a special effect. Denying the implants would be fucking pointless, it's too obvious.

Well, I mean, yeah, I know. It's painfully obvious her knockers are fake. I'm just saying I'm pretty sure she's never admitted it.

I mean, we are dealing with the same person who bought the aforementioned giant tits, dresses in costumes designed to show them off, and wears bras designed to make them look even bigger, but gets very angry when people focus on them.

Someone who literally spent thousands of dollars to buy two things she gets mad at people noticing.

>>7065515
Many women have that issue. They want you to notice they're hot and want their body, but only care about their mind as they shove the tits in your face. Most people call them strippers.

>>7065818
>>7065818
How do strippers want you to care about their mind?

>>7065818
I'm just saying that Yaya not admitting her tits are fake when it's plainly obvious they are isn't really surprising or shocking given that she's already guilty of something equally irrational and stupid and contrary to common sense.

But yeah. To my knowledge she's never admitted it.

My father was watching heroes of cosplay and he looked me dead in the eye and said "I think Yaya is going to be arrested for prostitution"

I have no idea where that came from

>>7067447
I haven't had time to catch this disaster yet. What was she even wearing? Isn't she wearing the female Sif costume for the show? That wasn't that bad, by her standards.

How is the show doing, anyway, ratings wise?

>>7063275

>John and Deise's fault

Actually, for once, this isn't true.
When SyFy came to Anime Matsuri, they said they would provide the $1800 cash prize, thinking they would be have to have the cast members when. When they didn't, they no longer provided the money to the convention, after the winners were promised their money.
After those girls went public with it (they tagged the show AND SyFy in the post), the convention suddenly got the money promised from the company and were able to give it to them.

>>7067887

>cast members win

Whoops.

>>7067887

>thinking they would let the cast members win

My spelling is shit today.

Am I suppose to know this show existed? Like... before this thread?

>>7067887
The first year of AM, the winners didn't get their money for like, half a year.
Another year, AM's check bounced ($500).

So this wasn't surprising coming from them.

Don't forget, this is also the con that held the WCS finals, and then tried to back out of paying the winning team's way to Japan. They've been blacklisted from hosting any WCS events ever again.

Yay Anime Matsuri.

Anyone livestreaming this train wreck tonight?

>>7067887

>"Here's $1800 for a cash prize! Make sure the girls get it!"
>"...No."
>"WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE IT THEN."

Jfc this show.

>>7065269

Nosejob, eyejob, cheekjob, chinjob? new teeth? lipjob?

(captcha certain otiktion)

Did the article get removed?

>>7069526
I'm think it's just the quality of the photo and the horrible angle, the rest is make-up :/ Her teeth are straight and the rest is just the horrible hall lighting. She might have bleached them though, some people just don't have naturally pearl white teeth.

>>7069868
I think you're being far, FAR too generous.

>>7070666
Also, naive.

>>7069868
You're blind or in denial. Obvious surgery is obvious. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

I never thought I would sympathize with people who happen to live on the Jersey Shore but...

>>7070666
>>7070670
>>7070675

I also think that if a person is ready to blow their breasts up to watermelons, they could just as well do a facial surgery.
Its just that I really don't see that much of a difference. If she had the facial surgery she certainly didn't change beyond recognition in my opinion. I'm not claiming to be knowledgeable in that department, just my personal opinion.
It also doesn't matter to me if she did, since I don't care about her and the bullshit she does to herself. The threads are amusing to read though.

>>7071473
Well assuming that one anon was right and she admitted to having the boob job, I imagine the rest is as you say. I mean, if you're gonna admit to having your tits done, why would you deny having other work?
Then again, I don't see why women would deny it anyway. Especially when there are readily available public records proving the contrary.

So I'm SUPER curious what the guy who won BiS in last week's episode thinks about their shit-talking him in this episode. Does anyone know him or know if he has a twitter/da/fb?

I heard that he's actually won awards with it before, too. I didn't think it was that great, but I'd love to see if he commented on the episode.

go back to gifyo poolboy

wait what? tenleid is a paki? but she looks so white?

>>7046894
Somebody oughta post this picture to their page's wall on Facebook. See how quickly they remove it.

>>7071595
Anita looks white too.

>>7071603
>>7071595
So what race is she then? Armenian? Iranian?

>>7071780
Not that it matters, but my dad is fully arabian.

>>7071784
>arabian
hahaha, oh man. It's not surprising that you're of muzzie descent considering you're from ontario. People like you should be checked out before you attend a con. Wouldnt want you bombing peaceful citizens in the name of opposing the filthy west who's been oppressing your homeland :(

>>7071847

Obvious samefagging to get pity/whiteknights.

Gross.

>>7071784
Have you ever asked your mother why she let a sandnigger put his sandy ejaculate inside her vagina? Did she convert to Mudslimism too? Is it because she's ugly so she couldn't get a hot Asian?

>>7050339
Pretty much this. I find Face-Off to be far closer to the actual process I go through when working for cons than this... whatever you wanna call this catfight.

Is that girl know from anywhere else? Im sure ive seen her somewhere.

>>7049914
Because its supposed to be a shameful act because of nerdom, but its not any more due to commercialism and all that dosh from thirsty ass niggas.
