This has been going round on tumblr, sums it up pretty nicely

“Cosplay is getting to be more corrupt as it becomes more mainstream. It’s becoming more about looking like a Victoria’s Secret model and being bullied if you don’t. I, for one, am tired of it. Cosplayers are being told, verbally or otherwise, that they need to look a certain way to do what they love. Cosplay is not a beauty contest. Society has done enough harm to the issue of body image. Lets keep it out of the cosplay community.” - Misa On Wheels

If you like cosplay, but you don't make your own costumes, you don't actually like cosplay. You like getting your picture taken and getting attention without doing any actual work, and you're the fucking cancer that has been consuming the convention scene for the past six or so years.

I'm not who you responded to but you know what people used to do when they couldn't sew but wanted to socialize with those with similar interest.

They wore their tshirt of their fave show and chatted up cosplayers dressed from the series they liked.

You can be honest. Cosplay has a measure of attention whoring in it. If you didn't care anything about the photos or attention you'd go in your normal clothing and have fun anyways. But you know you can't make anything but still want the attention like >>7185383 was talking about.

Cosplay is about having fun, expressing yourself, turning yourself into the characters you love, and sharing those interests with others.
Then you have the fuckers like you who only care about the fact that you made your shit yourself. I would say people like you are the ones that actually feed off the attention. Some of us have actual careers that dont allow us to make all our shit.

I'll agree to that, that's what I do when I dont feel like cosplaying. But to say that people who buy cosplays for the sole reason of getting attention is ignorant and closed minded (in regards to other anon). Anyone who cosplays is obviously wanting a bit of attention, but that isn't the only reason.

Much jelly
very talk no walk

Sexy characters only make sense to be cosplayed in sexy ways. Yes, character variants are cool, but crossplays are creative in their own way and characters like this borderland chick or for a very popular example: Poison Ivy make sense to be scantily clad/promote sex appeal. To hate on a cosplayer for their success or abundance of skin-displayed is not akin to appreciating cosplay. Not to mention she was fully in costume in other pics. Unless you are sexist or envious, one might as well hate many male cosplayers who go as a DBZ character, Kratos, or other commonly chest-portraying males.

Also, I doubt she was born with her body (abs aren't free). If anything, it should be motivation for those lacking assets. She isn't even large-breasted either and admits to push-up bras, not to mention that flat chested cosplayers still look amazing anyways, when their cosplays show effort. On another spectrum, many would agree Ivy Doomkitty is paving ways for voluptuous ladies interested in cosplaying.

You can like cosplay and have no want to actually make costumes yourself. The same way you can like movies but not want to actually make films. It's called being a consumer.

When you buy outfits, you are essentially walking advertisements for the person/company(s) behind said outfit. Dressing up, whether you made the outfit or not, is fueled by the want for attention and to be noticed.

It only becomes a problem when people aren't honest about their costumes. Anyone who buys their costumes but claim it as their own are the primary issue.

You know very well you aren't a "walking advertisement for the person/company" You are a walking advertisement for yourself. Only when someone stops you to ask does anyone know. Otherwise everyone commenting on how cool you look from afar thinks you made it and frankly people who commission like it that way to some degree.

Analogy that anon provided was spot on. I like art, but choose not to make it. Instead, I buy it to display. This doesn't mean I dont like art. I like cosplay. I choose to buy cosplays instead of make them. This doesn't mean im not a 'real' cosplayer.

We're all a bunch of weirdos that dress up as fictional characters. Unless we're entering a cosplay contest, it shouldn't matter who makes and who buys cosplays. As long as you dont claim you made it when you didn't, then it doesn't matter.

I'm curious, how would you guys feel about very slight modifications to a cosplay to slut it up a little? Not like completely altering the character's outfit into what is basically a bikini, but maybe making a top just slightly lower cut to show more cleavage, or making jean shorts even shorter to show off dat ass. People go in the opposite direction when an outfit is too skimpy for their comfortability, so why not make slight changes to show off your assets?

>> No.7185834

>>7185820
Because it's obviously attention whoring.

Be accurate. Making something more covering isn't fantastic, but it's for comfort, making something more low cut to show off your tits and your ass is just a cry for help and a demonstration of your low self esteem/need the validation of strangers who will go home and jerk off to you.

And those people are the idiots to assume something like that and are probably too socially awkward to actually walk up and ask the person about their costume. No one should EVER assume something someone wears was made by the person wearing it. You don't assume that in everyday life and you shouldn't assume that at conventions. Those people are the idiots for making that baseless assumption and not asking questions to satisfy their curiosity, not the person wearing it. Again, the problem is people not giving the props where they are due. If you see something you like and are curious about it, you should ask questions about it. Don't make baseless assumptions like a moron. During inquiry, if the person lies and claims they made it, then they are a lying piece of shit. Only at that point are they at fault for taking credit for work they didn't do. They can't be held accountable for the assumptions of socially awkward people who don't know how to ask a fucking question.

I never said the people who didn't ask are socially awkward people who wanted to and didn't. I'm talking about the person passing you in the hall that glances at you and moves on.

But thanks for explaining your viewpoint because I think I figured out where the disconnect might be.
I started cosplaying in 1998 and EVERYONE made their own stuff. You didn't have to ask, assume, or anything.

You however may have just started cosplaying in the last 5-6 yrs and it's only natural that you don't think people make their stuff. That was new norm when you entered this hobby.

I can understand that much. But you have to understand geekdom has become way more mainstream, unfortunately. With that, the assumption that everyone makes their outfits needs to be chucked out the door since there is an influx of casuals due to it being mainstream. As >>7185794 said, unless you are in a contest of some sort, there is no reason to assume it was made by the wearer. It's a matter of being realistic about how the scene has evolved/changed.

Not that guy, but as a photographer I wish people wouldn't look at me like an ass when I say I only take pictures of the cosplayers who have made their own cosplays at con photo shoots. I've had to make do with taking solos of everybody and deleting the ones of people who have bought theirs. It's a lot easier to take the picture then ask if they made it themselves, than to ask first and just not take the picture. My dream shot is to get a very big crowd of only diy cosplayers, and there are people who think I'm a jerk for thinking that.
It's a thing for me to put on film real effort and commitment, but it's really hard to say that in public without getting ran over by the wahmbulance. People feel they need to be offended when I don't take pictures of them, and the diy-ers those that I do photograph also feel the heat of that. When it comes to a point where you're pretty much burned by it all, you sometimes with there was a con where only diy-ers can cosplay.

I'm not saying only people who have made their own cosplays can do it at cons, but there really should be a distinction between the two types and no one should get offended when it applies.

Okay, both of your arguments are retarded, so I'm just gonna step in here and say that crafting isn't technically necessary to cosplay because no one can actually stop you, but making your own costumes is basically tradition and is a huge part of the hobby that brings us all together as a community of "cosplayers", rather than just a bunch of people who are dressed up as characters from a series that they like, finding common ground only with people dressed from the same series or another series that you enjoy. So don't be surprised if others don't think quite as highly of you as a "cosplayer" when they tell you that your outfit or props are badass and ask how you made them, even though they don't know the series at all, then you say you didn't make it yourself. It's just like... what was the point of them complimenting you in the first place, or even approaching you at all? You literally have nothing in common (based on first impression, anyway) so it was just kind of a waste of time.

I hope that even makes sense. All I'm saying is that crafting is the common ground we all have as cosplayers rather than just a jumbled mass of fans of different anime, games, comics, etc. There's nothing inherently wrong about purchasing a costume and wearing it around a bunch of people who made theirs themselves, it can just be frustrating at times.

Think about it from another perspective. Based on your logic, does this mean that..

I am not a good lolita because I dont make my dresses? So I should not wear lolita if I dont have the talent to make my dresses?

I am not fashionable because I didn't make the clothes I put together in my coord? Should I not try to put coords together then?

If I already have talent, should I turn down commissions because people should be forced to teach themselves to make their own things if they want to wear them? Force others to not be lazy?

Tell all cosplay businesses and and independent cosplay artists to stop selling their handmade goods because they're making people into fake cosplayers who ~obviously~ are only doing it for the attention?

I can agree to this. From a photographers perspective, id assume that's its just overall better to take photos of the cosplayer and the cosplay that cosplayer made. Otherwise its just kinda like a fashion shoot, as opposed to photographing the artist themselves. It sounds like a personal preference. I buy some, I make some, I wouldn't be offended if a photographer had a specific vision in mind and chose not to photograph me. Personally, I wouldn't even want to be photographed if it wasn't my own hard work in the photo .

Unlike lolita, cosplays aren't an actual fashion. Many of your questions can be replied with "No, the rules are different for that." I see your point in the ones involving commissions and business. It's a good way of diy cosplayers to fund themselves and show off talent, given that the ones they sell to will tell others where they got it from.

I guess I could see why buying from Chinese sweatshops on eBay and stuff would be bad, but if its bought from a local artist, or even someone human just trying to sell their handmade goods, it shouldn't be so looked down upon.
I could see how getting asked how you made your stuff only to respond with admitting you didn't make it could be awkward, but at the same time, not everyone has talents like those.

Yeah that's why I said both sides of this argument are retarded. The only thing that sucks about people buying their cosplays nowadays is that now it's almost impossible to tell who crafts and who doesn't among a sea of people in costumes, whereas it used to be the only way. We've just lost that aspect of cosplay that brought everyone together in a way that was less superficial than "we all like to dress up as fictional characters".

I'm mostly seeing one, in the white bikini, that looks somewhat flat-chested but could've easily been shooped. Nothing like the obvious K.Kardashian pics. Either way, I wouldn't really care. People can do whatever they want with their bodies. She appears to make her own stuff, and I think she seems pretty fun, looks good in her costumes, and is hot, big boobs or not.

Though like many, I approve of busty bosoms: pic=proof that you don't need big boobs or a time-slaving costume to be cute as hell and have fun cosplaying.

Of course, having stated the aforementioned: I'm NOT biased to Yaya [who, despite all the drama she's been involved in, claims to do her own stuff in interviews nonetheless] like many here who may be or others that are considered 'famous cosplayers' anyways, so derp. If you want to change something about yourself and proceed to succeed - cool imo. I personally find Vampy to be much more attractive than her, as well as countless other random Asian cosplayers you can google 'name of anime+cosplay' but I digress.

At the abs thing - she works out nevertheless. Discredit is strong in this thread. Arnold Schwarzenegger just took roids and never worked out, right? Steve Hawkins isn't smart either because he hasn't discovered the cure for cancer? *sigh*

I'm just trying to give a positive light on this because I appreciate and respect the people:
-who are totally new and want to create everything but aren't good at it [yet]
-the people who are decent/skilled and it shows [both popular and unknown]
-the people who lack the body type/are different skin tones and still go for it to the best of their abilities
-and the ones that buy their costumes but at least admire/know their characters beyond looks and just want to have a good time with like-minded fans.

tl;dr In the end, it's all about having fun, whether that's gained through photography and notoriety or simply roleplaying, socializing and receiving feedback.

Nigri reminds me of old time car models. They type where you'd go to the showroom and there would be some lass all dolled up to the nines with every inch of skin allowed showing. They stand next to the car and pose with it, smile 24-7. They were to fool men of days into thinking that if they purchased said car, they might attract a woman such as this. Nigri is like the spokes model for Cosplay. Cheap, slutty and doesn't really have anything to do with Cosplay in a deeper sense other than barely wearing it

Honestly, that's how its going to be now, though. The only place to really find people who make their own stuff is on online communities. Even people like Jnig(figure id use her as an example since that's how this thread started) make it sketchy since sometimes her cosplays are pulled out of her ass from one day to the next, but wip pictures can kinda guide you to the diy-ers. And quite frankly, after going to so many cons and seeing both handmade and bought cosplays, its pretty easy to see who made their stuff and who didn't.

>Wanting to look hot as fuck

Pick a character who is already that skanky then.

Accuracy is accuracy and people who know who the character is will say "Well she looks good, but did she need to make it that much sluttier?"

It's like Yoko. Yes, it's skimpy, but she is wearing shorts, not a bikini bottom. Her bikini top has underboob, but still covers her. Making either any smaller is just stupid and save for white knighting neck beards who want to jerk off to you, most people would call you out on it when comparing to other costumes.

>> No.7186409

problem here is that we both spoke in absolutes.

You know as well as I do that every moment someone judges someone on their looks. So you're right there.

But inside the con other things used to matter in addition to that. Now it's swinging around to looks being the hefty part of what matters and that's maddening that now you need to be hot and a nerd too.

Physical beauty is a lottery of genetics and a happenstance of it meshing with the time period in which you were born.

The quality of your costume is earned by working at something until you are good at it.

It's true pretty people tend to win. But we used to not care so much about all that in the con atmosphere. People bringing only sex to the table are blatantly fucking up the little haven nerdy people had. It's even worse when you realize they can take their need to be noticed with sex outside and get a good response, but they rather be the big fish in a little pond.

me either. I'm like, that's surgery. ALL surgery carries a risk. The doc or helper could nick a nerve and you lose feeling somewhere. The implants may not be disinfected properly by accident. They may not heal or sit right and they have to correct them.

And after it's over it's not really over. Implants have to be maintained every few years. So they have to go back in and that opens you up to more unforeseen mishaps like scar tissue issues and ruptures. You have to have routine MRIs to check for ruptures every 2 yrs. None of your maintenance is covered by insurance. All of it will be out of pocket.

1 in 5 breast augmentations have to have them removed within 10 yrs.

It's weird...I was looking at Leanna Vamp's fb page and thinking that all these mainstream hot bitches are hanging out together at cons like a group of Tri Delts thinking...something isn't right here.

I stay off of tumblr because I can't stand the soj but that Misa on wheels quote makes some sense. I do question these girls sincerity. There's always been some hot chicks in this hobby but now it just seems like these models are trying to get a fan base or twitter followers to promote themselves and don't actually give a fuck about the fandoms they're exploiting.

I don't know these girls personally so I can't say for sure if that's what is actually happening.

But if it is, then it's kinda sad.

This is coming from a guy's perspective. I'm not even a dorky looking guy. I don't want to see all these ultra plastic chicks in my animu con.

Also, I don't hate on people that are legit fans of the thing they're cosplaying from just because they didn't make their costume. I like seeing awesome craftsmanship, cosplays that look just like the character, and people just having fun.

I like the anon who said this:

>I'm just trying to give a positive light on this because I >appreciate and respect the people:
>-who are totally new and want to create everything but aren't >good at it [yet]

>-and the ones that buy their costumes but at least >admire/know their characters beyond looks and just want to >have a good time with like-minded fans.

It's like being in the real world where everyone keeps telling you who to be like or how beautiful you need to be. It's really that sad. This is a community where people escape from harsh judgements and be with people who love everything that you do no matter what you do or what you look like. It's all about anime/video games/ comics/ etc. And making new friends that could last a lifetime.

There's really nothing that appealing about her.

Her hair is bleached and dead and she is orange from all of the fake tanning she does.

I'm sorry but this is not attractive. She looks like every other bimbo that tries to be hot by slathering their faces in bad makeup and using daddy's money to get a boob job. There's nothing unique about her that makes her stand out from the thousands of girls that also look like her.

This girl is definitely hotter than Jessica. I don't think there's any argument there. I really doubt there are other girls on /cgl/ that are hotter than Jnigs though. This one is probably a rare exception. I'd imagine most of the girls who post here are not very cute.

She objectively has very strong masculine features. I can see why /fit/ likes her, they're at least 50% gay and closeted.

/cgl/ should know well enough that this was her worst photoset.

Miyu has a gorgeous face but her body is getting too manly.

I agree that she's prettier than Jessica but she still needs to stop lifting before she loses her facial aesthetics too.

That's fantastic.

It doesn't make Jnigger any less ugly.

Also, as seen in >>7190594 she has the potential to look pretty and she doesn't need raccoon eyes and a fake tan to do it.

So can we stop posting Miyu and start posting some of the girls in this thread? I'd like to see how much hotter you are than Jessica. That was the point of this thread, right?

What's the point? You're whiteknighting so hard that if any girl did post a picture you'd immediately call her ugly.

It's obvious your opinions about Jnignog are too strong to make rational decisions or think about anything other than whiteknighting.

I don't know who this is or why we're talking about her but to be fair JNig has much worse photos than these
