What do you think of this article on sexy cosplay?

I think at this point with all the sexy cosplay going around, all I stopped caring and this sums up some of my thoughts on why. That and it's basically everywhere you go now.

>You can't bring up "sexy cosplay" and not talk about Jessica Nigri. She seems to be a magnet for hate and gossip in the community, and it's only because she's gorgeous and likes to show off her chest


>only because she's gorgeous
>Jessica Nigri gorgeous
>not a butterfaced liar with minimal effort cosplays

yeah stopped reading.
maybe if the article didn't start out so biased, I could go through with it.

I feel like this was written by someone who hasn't had to deal with any sort of backlash and is just basically out of the loop or doesn't really bother to involve themselves with their own fandoms. It also doesn't sound like it's been written by someone who remembers what it was like to cosplay years ago. It wasn't until FFX and X2 did you see people running around as characters for a game that wasn't even out yet. And, while there was drama, it certainly wasn't the Nigri/Yaya-tier shit that we have today.

It's definitely changed since the 90s. Anyone who denies that is an ostrich with their head in the sand.

I agree for sure. But after all the hate threads I read through and having to see her boobs all the time, I think I just phased into dealing with it.

But there are still just those cosplays that are "...why do you need to show your cleavage?"

I would happily challenge this article, as if there weren't enough sexy characters to cosplay throughout games, anime and films, we don't need the non-sexy designs to be sexualised, this includes 12 year old girls and Pokemon

>> No.7374756

>>7374736
If the cosplay calls for tit showing, I don't bitch. Especially if that's the character, but my problem with her has always been how both she and Yaya willfully choose cosplays that are only ever for sexual appeal. Even when the character DOESN'T call for it. Yaya's made "original concept" cosplays and still included her sandy tits popping out everywhere. Not to mention that both are guilty of cosplaying things that they don't know the source material on or blatantly sexualizing a costume simply for the sake of.

I mean, sorry, but yes that's annoying. It makes you feel like you're at a party just enjoying yourself and then there's that one loud, obnoxious drunk girl running around going, "LOOK AT ME!1!1!1!1 XDDDD"

>> No.7374764

>>7374745
It isn't a business to me, either. It's a hobby and I think it's pretty shitty that people like her and others are turning it into this bitchfest. Sure, we can certainly chalk some of Nigri's haters up to jealous girls, but there needs to be a level of meeting halfway here. Nigri wasn't cosplaying years ago. She didn't blow up until 2009 at SDCC when she was found and interviewed in that Pikachu costume (which, was only a yellow bra with a yellow waist belt under it and a skirt. Is it cute? Sure, but it wasn't worth the hype that it got.) by people from G4. Following that, she won the Lollipop Chainsaw thing despite the fact that there were other entries that looked better than hers.

If they mean that she's a businesswoman in the sense that she lies to her clientele in order to profit, then sure? But, she's by no means a businesswoman within cosplay and god help her when she begins to age. She'll be the next Yaya; Desperately clinging to drugstore make up and photoshop in order to feel young.

That's the perfect way of explaining it. I feel that way when I see shooped pictures online, but at the end of the day at a con, the dude with the mecha suit is going to get more attention I feel.

Speaking of which, when a "professional cosplayer" or whatever the fuck kind of nonsense they call themselves these days are advertised to be appearing at a con, how many people REALLY ACTUALLY go see them? To me I'd rather you know...see the people who actually made a game or anime. Because while cosplaying is awesome/involves creativity/so forth, I feel like we are not at all on "SUPERFANCON STARRING" level such as developers and such.

I know, right? What's sad is that she could look really pretty if she just took better care of her skin. I'm not fond of her pretending and her actions, but the former Body Shop employee in me is like, "Let me fix your face for you, honey." ;~;

She just needs to not tan (or at least not do it as frequently), not use cheap cosmetics (seriously, drop by Sephora or Chanel, damn it.), and have a routine for taking care of her face. For her skin to look THIS aged for someone in their mid twenties is awful.

Damn it, that's it. Next con she's at, I'm bringing her some Clinique.

Eh, even that is up for debate. She does also rely heavily on photoshop, uses cheap materials, has her husband wait on her hand and foot, and there have even been cases where upon meeting her in person, people said that her costumes didn't look as impressive as they do in her photo shoots. There's a shot of her as Scarlet Witch at her booth somewhere and the costume is completely unflattering, unlike her photo shoot version of the outfit. She looks fat and sports a camel toe. Her Jessica Rabbit was heavily shopped and when she debuted at DragonCon, she was actually mistaken for a drag queen a few times during the night.

This.. This was terrible.. That bottom looks like it was chopped from an American flag and just sewn on..

You seem to have misread. I said for her to drop by, as in drop by the selling location of Chanel or drop by a Sephora. Body Shop, depending on who you speak to, can be considered pricey to people who don't normally spend much on cosmetics.

They either don't squat to get a nice ass or it just isn't in their genes to have a nice ass. Yaya's chunky in her sides and gut, but you can tell that she was never meant to have an ass. It's not really an Asian trait. Jess is a really skinny, White girl and she's got small hips. She doesn't have a shitty body, but you can tell that she also wasn't dealt the genetic cards to have a bunda. It's just all in genetics and how one's weight gets distributed; Yaya clearly gains in her gut and sides and Jess's high school photo suggests that she also gains in the gut.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't be a cunt and nobody will feel motivated to do so. Even if they do, they'll look like they're jealously grasping at straws. The only reason why anyone digs up things on Nigri/Yaya and screenshots any little thing they post is because of how they act; Passive aggression, hypocrisy, embellishing or just outright lying about things and thinking nobody will notice or call them out because their fanbase tends to not know jackshit about /cgl/ or the cosplay community period. So, people feel compelled to be like, "If you're gonna say this shit, at least own up to it."

New people. They have to be people who have no idea what cosplay is and that is only new people. I was staff at a con for several years and at the last 2-3 I worked at it the possibility of cosplay guests came up and I vetoed it hard. That shit was not happening on my watch.

Bless you. I wouldn't have a problem with these women if they'd just act a little more tactfully. I know that some people hurl the, "Wtf ignore them." card, but I feel like those people have never had to deal with a screaming child or a screaming, drunk person who is happy that they are in fact screaming and drunk. Realistically, one can only take so much and while getting annoyed and walking away as opposed to decking the drunk person is better, it still shouldn't need to happen to begin with. These events used to be fun. I remember when they were, but they're really not that fun anymore since cosplay has become something a bunch of outsiders have taken over. And, I know that there are those here who reject that sort of elitist mindset and think that we need to just "get over it". Yes, cosplay wasn't a super secret club, but it was something that was very different years ago. And, it's pretty disheartening to see people from your high school who used to actually harass you for doing what you did now suddenly the biggest fans ever, showing up in Party City costumes and dubbing themselves cosplayers.

These people are like Pink Hats; They ruin something for others so much so that it causes a real impact within the community and culture and nobody can deny that.

I hope to god other sports fans here can sympathize..

She's a very pretty older lady, even with the surgeries, but now she just dresses in costumes that make her look like an old trashy tramp. It saddens me.

I wish she made more costumes like this nowadays.

How old *is* Yaya, anyway, and how are we basing this answer? I'm not saying she doesn't look like she's getting on in years - she does - but so does Jnig. So just 'cause Yaya's lookin' kinda haggard, doesn't mean she's actually old.
I mean, I knew a guy who looked like he was in his 40s when he was 23.

She's been working with costumes for awhile now. I was young and she had already made quite a few costumes, wasn't as famous of course.

She definitely pretty old, getting toward middle age? She looks good for her age of course, she just looks silly in most the costumes she chooses now.

I think she'd look awesome if she did this costume again, I always thought of the character as a older woman, the landlady from Chobits, or Yuko from XxxHolic,

That's sad....she's been cosplaying for as long as I have, and I haven't aged physically since high school. My coworkers swear that I'm a robot or something.

Women should look that rough when they're in their early 30s. Take, for contrast, Bianca Beauchamp (pic related). She's not wearing any makeup in this photo, and hasn't had any facial surgeries so far, and she turns 37 this year. Yaya must be smoking meth or something at cons because women shouldn't age that poorly....especially asians.

>> No.7375908

>>7375897
it might have something to do with the fact that I don't think Yaya has a good work-out routine. Bianca obviously works out, and working out is great for your skin as well as your body. I know when I had a great workout schedule I looked younger or may not younger is the right word... but my face and features looked healtheir too I think. i think sweating and blood flow helps your skin just as much as your muscles. I'm not going to say Bianca looks young, she doesn't, but she looks a lot better than yaya does without makeup and then with makeup she does too.

i found this one yesterday when i was reading that article: "Cosplay, to many, is a tribute from the cosplayers to the characters they're portraying, but in her, I rarely ever see the passion she has for these characters, and her fans who are there just for the skin, they're looking at cosplay as though the only value in it is the sex appeal. Yeah sure it hurts nobody, but it sure does make other cosplayers feel pretty affected by the way the public is looking at this hobby. "
I have to agree with that last sentence especially. I really think the other issue is that any people who are new to cosplaying, would start up and see this, might get the wrong view on cosplay. I feel like it opens the floodgates for everyone to make a sexy pikachu or shit like that.

She married some guy for a green card and then left him to go fuck Brian. Also shes still married to the poor sob and thats why her and Brian will never marry. It makes her a pretty despicable person imo and I only really judge people on how shitty they are as humans not if they have their tits out. The only dirt people really dig up on Jnig is that she pissed off some photogs a couple times. Big whoop. Thats pretty weak shit in comparison. So ya some people hate them for more than just being petty bitches but there is a minority of us that have actual reasons.

Part of cosplaying is showing your dedication and love of the character.

Why would you then make a costume that's OUT of character?

And then make the focus you as a person?

At that point its not about whatever you're supposedly showing dedication to. Its just to feed your own ego.

Seriously, why do people need to make up silly stories? Isn't 'Yaya isn't that attractive, she's not very nice IRL, her costuming skill is overrated, and she has a massive ego and for all these reasons I dislike her' enough? Someone doesn't need to be literally Hitler in order to validate your dislike of them. Yaya's plenty unlikable without needing to be some mustache twirling supervillain who plunders bank accounts, cheats on her anchor husband, and masterminded 9/11.
It doesn't help the case of people who dislike Yaya and, in fact, hurts their case by making them look really petty and kind of insane in their vitriol. I honestly have no opinion on Yaya either way. I've never met her in person and honestly for all the reasons I just mentioned I find it pretty hard to take anything said on this board about her seriously.

But I still think the only valid reasons to dislike her as a person would be for her big ego and if you know for a fact that she's not nice IRL (in other words, non-rumors and things you've experienced/seen, not just heard about).
