Stop taking animu so seriously you weeaboo faggot

>>7590954
>maybe if I spit venomous buzzwords through my cake-encrusted teeth I can distract everyone from the fact that my lard-ridden ass looks like shit in that cosplay!

>>7590956
I don't cosplay and I think animu is for basement dwelling hamplanets. But keep going weeb.

The thing is, I don't think fat cosplayers who want to be taken seriously /would/ cosplay snk. If their goal is to work with their weight and look good in suiting costumes, they'll be smart enough to avoid it.

The fatties that do cosplay snk are probably, in most cases, sweaty weeaboo teenagers who bought the premade cosplay and are doing so just for fun, not for the sake of being some canon-accurate cosplay goddess.

I dunno, as someone who used to wear shitty cosplays in middle school and high school just because it was fun and exciting and I wasn't skilled enough to do any better, I've never had a problem with kids who wear whatever makes them happy no matter how shitty it looks.

If they're claiming to be some real life incarnation of a character and tumblr starts screaming about how ~perfect~ and ~totally accurate~ they are when they obviously aren't, that's the only time I have a problem.

tl;dr let the fatties and shit cosplayers have their fun. I doubt they're looking for your approval.

>>7590939
No, who cares
I'm getting sick and tired of obsessive AoT faggots
I saw someone on Tumblr get angry because a popular Tumblr user cosplayed as Mikasa and showed a "moe moe side of her" or something. Stupidest shit on earth.
Who gives an actual fuck? There will be bad cosplay or fat people cosplay of everything, your fandom is not special.

speaking of AoT, I'm in the process of making an Annie costume but I'm tall as hell. Do people get nitpicky about that too? I have the face for her unlike the taller female characters.

But can a fatty cosplay a Titan?

>>7591097

well some of the titans were kinda fat

>>7591086
Not unless it's a group photo with characters who are supposed to be taller than you.
Maybe if you look really lanky and long in photos, but most people don't.

>>7591103

Damnit, maybe I'll do Zoe instead.

>>7590968
>I don't cosplay
Then fuck off.

Oh my god, People having fun!? That's now what conventions are about!
>OP goes to conventions strictly for Magic Tournaments.

>>7591221
Eh, Magic Tournaments aren't all it's cracked up to be.

> Reusing old bait

>>7591221
Magic is shit.

>Fat people
>Cosplaying in general

I wonder how much interest there would be in a "weight loss for cosplayers" guide.

Probably not a lot, it's always easier to cosplay fat characters/pretend their cosplay of skinny characters is okay and claim fat shaming on anyone who disagrees.

>>7591648
Finally, someone who understands.

>>7591648
I'd like that or a weight loss for lolitas guide or forum, or even just a return of /fit/ fridays. It's more fun to work weight loss into other hobbies.


>>7591635
oh. okay.

>>7590939
>I just want to masturbate to this when I get home.
>My neckbeard itches

As someone thin who gains weight regularly and tones for cosplay, fatties can do the same.

>>7590939
>Fat people should not be cosplaying anything

FTFY

>>7590939
>tfw I have a really similar body type to that Hanji minus the muffin top

>>7591648

but it'd be the same as a weight loss guide for anybody

here, I can provide you with a routine
3x10 fork putdowns

>>7591229
ba dum tss

>>7590968
I know you're probably baiting but jesus christ fuck off. Nothing is worse than lolitas who think they're ten times better than cosplayers, assuming you are one since you aren't here for cosplay.

>>7591832
No one is preventing you from doing that though. They're just preventing you posting non /cgl/ stuff on /cgl/. You can make a forum/tumblr/blog for weightloss and cosplay together. But it doesn't belong on this section of 4chan.

SNK is the new Kingdom Hearts so idk what you were expecting. Fat lonely bisexual teenage girls are going to flock to it like flies on shit.

>>7590939
>people should not be cosplaying
Corrected

>>7591901
yfw that's an Ehren cosplay

AoT has been weeb/casual tier for a long time anyways, it's expected its cosplay sucks.

>>7592491
>if it's popular it's for weebs

Seriously though, people need to get their shit together.

>MUH ACCURACY
i dont hear you all sayin shit when 90% of the people you cracker weeaboos cosplay are actually japanese characters

People who shouldn't cosplay Attack on Titan:

>Fat people
You have to be fit.

>Ugly people
People are pretty in anime.

>Black people
They're dead

>Mexican people
Only unless you can pass for another race

>Gingers
Get a wig, cover up your freckles

>Tall Asian Males
If you're Asian, your choices are Levi or Mikasa. If you can't crossplay an Asian girl or are taller than 5'2", you're out.


I think I've covered everyone.

If Overweight want to cosplay and still be cannon, they should all be garrison. All they did was drink, gamble and eat. There are overweight characters on the wall, before the titans attacked anyway.

>>7592753
I know this is a troll post, but
>Eren Jaeger
>Annie leonheart
>Connie Springer
>Krista Lenz
An AoT thread is the last place to play the race card

>>7592491
>>7592719

Legitimate question though, what are some things that are considered non-weeb/non-casual tier these days? I've been out of the loop for a while and am just getting back in, I have no idea what's going on at the moment.

I told a girl at my college that it would be unrealistic that 3D maneuver gear would be able to support her (she wanted to go as Hanji). I know that makes me a cunt, and her and her sister are nice and all, but they're both overweight smelly weeaboos.

>>7593151
Usually it's the fairly new series that don't have that kind of stigma, with exceptions like Kill la Kill.

"Moeshit" is your safest bet since people who are into stuff like AoT or Kill la Kill loathe that kind of anime. Pretty much any anime these days is "non-casual" since anime cosplay is getting more and more rare at conventions.

>>7593148

Not that guy but

>the race card

Sounded like they were being kind of general. And I kind of-sort of agree. I don't care about fat cosplayers or white/black/etc people cosplaying Asian characters. What matters to me is dressing for your body and making the overall final product look refined.

>>7592984

only agree about fat people, the rest of the people have no choice

>>7590939
I could have sworn there was an exact topic like this with the exact same picture like right after the con this picture was taken at.

>>7593273
Black people would do better to try and find darker skinned characters- they're not as uncommon as so many people think. Afro Samurai, Afro Ninja, Dark Link, and fucking anyone from the Millenium World portion of Yugioh are available to them off the top of my head (though lighter black would be preferred for Yugioh because Egypt)

>>7593135
>If Overweight want to cosplay and still be cannon, they should all be garrison. All they did was drink, gamble and eat. There are overweight characters on the wall, before the titans attacked anyway.

And this is why I cosplayed garrison.
I'm not landwhale territory but I've definitely got a soft middle and that makes me not fit.

When I was thinking about making it and I was checking out what other people were doing I saw so many really big Hanjis, Levis, and Armins that I thought it would be nice not to be yet another non-fit character that clearly is.

>>7591832
>a return of /fit/ fridays
boo hiss

Seriously though if you want to get fit and want 4chan to help you do it, head the fuck over to /fit/ and read their sticky. It's okay. We won't ostracize you for visiting different boards from time to time.

>>7591901
what about shapewear under the uniform

>>7591123
Length only matters if you´re 50 meters tall and it literally affects the outfit. (Like a thin rope around the cosplayers waist turned into a belt just to stay with proportions)

>>7590956
This describes OP and shitposters perfectly :^)

>>7591909

fucking this

especially relevant because "fit fridays" were nothing but "how to starve yourself, starring that bitch with the big nose whose name I can't remember that ate like 800 calories of fruit a day"

>>7594369

shrug, idc about black people cosplaying shit they like. Same thing with tall or short people cosplaying characters whose heights they don't fit if they're doing it because they just like the character so much. Not like they can change their race or how tall/short they are so unless they're cosplaying a character that they aren't even familiar with for the hell of it then I think it's ok. Fat people can lose weight though.

>>7590939
finally someone understands fucking fatties by a gym membership

>>7594369
I think it's okay if you're just a black scouting legion soldier. Not a Black Armin or Eren

.

>>7595649
Yeah, or even their training officer.

>>7594369
Dark Link is litterally black, not brown/dark brown.
You'll have to paint your face regardless of your race...

>Requesting the stupid tumblr post complaining about "black face" over a Dark Link cosplay.

>>7590939
They could cosplay as the titans.

>>7591229

Seriously. This guy... he will forever be the asscrack guy. I wonder how that feels like beeing known because of asscracks.

I would have to agree. But because the pants on the uniform are supposed to be tight and fitted with straps around your thighs. That just doesn't look good on anyone fat, or someone with thick chunky legs.

>>7598539

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh???

>>7599223

It's fanart cosplay.

>>7600435

>fanart cosplay

...like, cosplay of fanart?

That's almost as bad as cosplaying an original character do not steal

>>7600438
That's almost as bad as cosplaying an original character do not steal

I don't see it that way. If the fanart is good then go for it. Ginjinkas, Rule 63s, alt colors, grown up, ect are all fanarts and they can suck balls or be really good. Admittedly most fans can't draw worth crap but some of them can and when they add on to an established canon it can be good.

>>7600550
also can be pretty fun too and help with the monotony of seeing everyone wear the same thing.

>>7600550
If I saw this I would assume it's a Shadow the Hedgehog gijinka.

>>7600568
The color scheme, yeah I could see that I think.

The belts give it away though.

>>7598539
I like these--they're well-done, the characters are recognizable, and you can tell they put effort into it. I feel like a lot of the time people cosplay fanart because it's easier than the original designs

>>7600575

Yeah, I feel the same way honestly.
They look good cause of effort. I've seen this tried before and it looked sloppy because they got a coat off the rack and didn't even try with the shirt and left it button up.

Posting not because good...but because OAV cosplay.

Jean's mom... that's fun that they did this.

Ha, more fanart cosplay... Bunny Armin.

Oh I have been wanting a recreation of the manga cover.

They have never looked more badass as they did there.

>>7594585
Flan.
Or Charms, but afair it was Flan. She was my ultimate thinspo.

>>7600550

I dunno, I've never been fond of costumes you have to explain to people. Like, if someone has an inkling of who you are and ask you for clarification, then sure, but if someone goes "I have NO idea who you are" and you have to explain that you're cosplaying a version of an established character you saw in a fanart, that's another thing entirely.

And I know that the same argument could be leveled against gijinkas, genderbends, bad cosplays, and so on to the point of being a meaningless argument, but my experience with people cosplaying fanart versions of characters is that they rarely turn out well. >>7598539 is an obvious exception.

>>7600608

yeah it was Flan, she was fucking retarded

>thinspo

uh... good luck with that

yeah and also no fats can drive the 3D wires

>>7591890
This

What do you suggest fat people cosplay?

My size gives me almost no options in the world of moe and might

>>7602559
Lose weight

>>7590939
obligatory

>>7591635
Cosplay is shit

>>7590939
>people should not be cosplaying Attack on Titan
>stop cosplaying Attack on Titan.

Couldn't agree with you more OP

>>7602559
Accel World dude.

That's it.

>>7591887
There is no such thing as toning, only building muscle and losing fat (or vice-versa)
