/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7729793
Fuck that video, fake gamer girls are a thing.
Go back to Tumblr, feminazi

>>7729785
Some of them are, some of them are just doing it for attention and will probably laugh about all the nerds when they get home.

>>7729785
Some of them are.

You can tell the hot ones by how much /cgl/ hates them.

>>7729785
Considering that's Vera Baby your answer is no. She's a webcam girl that uses cosplay as a way to make money off her fans. I'd say about 50% of the popular cosplayers as actually into the things they cosplay. I'd say 30% of them cosplay because they love the character rather than how much money they can make off pictures in the costume.

>>7729805
Let's be honest here, she does it because she knows it will work. She knows the kind of men who are fans of the things she's cosplaying from, and she knows they are easily swooned by an attractive girl who seems slightly interested in the same things that they are.

I mean yeah, it's pretty shitty of her to do, but at the same time, I don't blame her. If they weren't so pathetic it wouldn't even work and she wouldn't even bother and just stick to showing her tits without trying to dress up like something from a fandom. To me, it's on the same level as shit like Dorito Pope, us gamers right guys? Buy this Mountain Dew and Doritos because Halo and video games, yeah man! They're only doing pathetic things like this because they know the people who are fans of it are pathetic enough to fall for it. I think people should be more outraged at people being pathetic enough to fall for shit like this, and not that people are "taking advantage" of them.

>>7729823
Let's be honest here. You can't actually prove that and this is just another whiny shitpost thread.

>>7729828
>proof of an opinion

Wat, when discussing peoples' opinions on things, do you always ask for proof? How does that make any sense at all and have anything at all to do with what I'm talking about? Do you share an opinion on anything I said or disagree? Maybe you'd like to make a comment on it or discuss it further?

>>7729833
>blah blah whinge whinge
Your making a claim that's involves reading her mind.

>>7729855
I'm not making any "claim", I'm stating my opinion. Perhaps you should look up what the difference is. Nowhere did I say "This is 100% fact of what is going on", as it is impossible to prove, as it is just an opinion. Get your panties out of a twist.

>>7729864
Yes you are. Why even bother posting about this person? Obsessed much?

>>7729873
I have honestly never heard of her until this thread. Are you her or something?

Are there girls that will capitalise on easy access to attention? Yes. Of course there are.

There are men that will do exactly the same thing.

Can you pick them out of a line up without any knowledge of the person and base it just on what they look like and what they're wearing? No.

Can you give a weighted assessment or have some kind of formula for being able to spot these people? No.

Not without making assumptions.

Can you surmise that a person doesn't know the source material or appreciate it and is just trying to get attention which you are pandering to even if it's negative attention? Yes, with appropriate evidence. Whether it's in conversation with the person in question or analyzing posts online that aren't just pictures of themselves.

Blanket judgements and labels make asses out of everyone involved.

Does it make a difference if there are people doing that to your enjoyment of the show, cosplay or the convention? No, not if you don't let it.

Do people intrinsically find reasons to dislike those more popular than them and find reasons why that person doesn't deserve that popularity due to the individuals own insecurities? Yes.

Would such energies be better re-purposed to building up your own self image if superficial popularity if your desire? Yes.

>>7729909
I only make those sorts of assumptions about people when it seems highly likely that they are true. For example, >>7729805
>She's a webcam girl that uses cosplay as a way to make money off her fans.

And yes of course men capitalize on the same thing, just like I said here in the case of the Dorito Pope: >>7729823

I agree with what you said and all about not making assumptions and people projecting their own insecurities and all that, but you have to admit in this specific case of this specific girl, based off the situation, it's pretty likely she's only just pretending to be a fan.

>>7729927
I wasn't aiming my post at anyone or really analyzing an example. If you want my opinion on this particular girl in question then yes she's milking attention.

Though in honesty all movies, games, anime, comics etc really on their popularity to sell and to continue. Which means appealing to a nature of one sort or another. Sexual, love of super heroes, love of cute things, whatever it be.

So really if this girl uses attention to make money...well then she's not doing any different to those above her. It's the same in all the arts and artistic incomes. If you're popular you succeed.

If anyone is to blame it is those that shamelessly support her but even then it's not blame and it's up to an individual what they spend their money on. Cam girls, common hookers, roses for their girlfriend, a drink for a girl at the bar, a coffee for the girl in the book shop...well each to their own.

Live and let live.

>>7729949
Yes exactly, that is exactly how I feel as well. I put the blame definitely moreso on the people who support her and people like her, but yes I also agree it's up to an individual on what to spend their money on. But even so, I still hold the personal opinion that it's a stupid thing to spend your money on, but who am I to talk, I buy $300 dresses that I only wear to special events rarely.

>>7729805
>I'd say 30% of them cosplay because they love the character rather than how much money they can make off pictures in the costume.
Considering how few cosplayers make money off of what they're doing, I'm really curious as to how you came up with that statistic.

>>7729785

Her legs are fucking misshapen and disgusting.

>>7729785
Whenever I see someone with a fitter and hotter than average body in skimpy costume I think whyyyy are they wasting themselves on that shit why not cosplay something properly they'd look soo good

>>7730123
that requires effort. why put in effort when you're going to get attention in any costume, no matter how shitty, because of sex appeal?

>>7729855
>assblasted europoor

>>7729793
LOL SUCH A NERDDDD XDDDDDD

>>7729785
>are hot girls real human beings too or are they just pieces of good-looking meat with no feelings?

Generally the amount of skin and tits showing is inversely proportional to how much they care about the source. I say generally as there are the occasional few who genuinely like Yoko or Super Sonico.

>>7729785
>Ruse

>>7729793
That video is being a little bit too biased and defensive. They basically said there is no such thing as fake girls ever in any circumstance. These fuckers don't know anything. You can go onto twitch.tv RIGHT NOW and find long lists of wunnabe porn stars and instagram girls playing League of Legends with their cleavage hanging out blowing kisses to boys for donations.

Pic related. I'm sure when you're advertising your twitter handle on yourself you're really doing it for fandom reasons.

>>7730427
They are real human being with feelings. But the good-looking meat is the only part of them that is worth something.

>>7730588
And she does that all the time too. I have yet to see a picture of her at a con (and even some of her shoot photos) where she has her name written on her arm.

In a previous thread about her, an Anon claimed they saw her standing on a chair shooting dirty looks at another "cosplay model" girl down the hall with a booth.

Yaya might be full of herself. Jnig might be obnoxious, but Vera beats them both in those categories.

>>7730588
This made me cringe.

>>7730588
God I don't care about the likes of J-Nig but for some reason Verababy makes me super mad. I think it's that fucking Misty cosplay that did it.

>>7730632
Probably because she only cosplays the most well known characters ever. Does anyone even consider Mario or Pokemon nerdy?

>>7729793
Oh jesus, I hate fucking white knights who go on a crusade "womyn can do no wrong". Fuck you, fake gamer gurls exist, read this shit and then come back to me and tell me that her interest is genuine:
>http://michellephail.tumblr.com/post/1240841225

Plus that cringe-worthy moment at the end when they brought up a girl to show up how "nerdy" she is. Seriously.

>>7730636
I don't. A few girls in my sorority ran up to me when I wore a Pikachu shirt to a party and were like "OMG I loveee pikachu take a picture with me!". Only one of them is actually a nerd and legitimately likes the stuff but she's still mostly normalfag. I don't consider anything that would be put on a T-shirt at Journeys, Target, whatever nerdy. So Pokemon, Mario, Hello Kitty...the list goes on.

>No wonder I quit

>>7729785
Ugh, those hand tattoos.

>>7729799
why would anyone be a fake gamer girl? no one wants to impress ugly basement dwelling nerds anyway

>>7730953
>http://michellephail.tumblr.com/post/1240841225
>why would anyone be a fake gamer girl?
Con money from nerd guys while still being hot enough to get whatever guy you want, nerd or not? Sounds like an easy life to me.

>>7729785
Both. Not hard to understand.

>>7731074
oh yeah, maybe i should try it

Don't feel like reading this whole thing, but I will honestly say that in my experience men are gatekeepers and actually get nasty when they think their little boy's club is being invaded by women...hot or not. So I think trying to cosplay things like Sexy MJ (which is actually from a legit piece of artwork) in order to get male attention is counterproductive.

>>7729785
Of course there are girls who fake it. There are people who fake being into all sorts of things. People fake liking a sport to fit it, people fake liking rap or being tough to fit it, people fake confidence etc.

Just because it's a nerd you're pretending to be doesn't exempt you from this; people fake everything. Not just being a nerd though, it's the same for every group of people.

There are attractive women who are interested in the character they're cosplaying as but there are plenty of women who aren't.

>>7731074
>con money from nerd guys
There's zero money in being a fake gamer girl. Not enough to quit your day job, in any case.

>>7731244
oh god tumblr shut up

>>7731244
>>7731389
it's not so common but it does happen. people will literally tell you to fuck off the moment you talk on voice comms like "how dare you be a girl and be here, stop seeking attention by using your actual voice"

and the "no girls on the internet" thing gets old fast, though that's more of an annoyance than anything else

>>7730445

In my experience Power Girl cosplayers tend to actually read comics, at least causally.

just saw this on verababy's page.
>"sexy" brock
>dat shit onyx
>dat terribad shoop
>dat nose

>>7731378
You forgot the unattractive people faking as much but aren't used as propaganda.

>>7731494
Aw, I think Onyx is cute. Her sexy Brock is terrible and whorish though

>>7729785
>Are hot girls really into the characters they cosplay as, or is it a ruse?
It's a ruse. Because none of these sexy cosplay ladies are doing it to attract guys and have sex with them.

>>7729785
shes a cam model, what the fuck do you expect? shes trying to build her clientele and shes doing it really well considering theres a bunch of sweaty horny nerds at cons

I don't know a single girl that could genuinely "like" Mary Jane Watson.

She is a terrible flip flopping character.

>>7730953
It take a lot of work to impress alpha men, why try hard for one man, when you can impress and be sought after by a 300 beta men who would do anything for you... seems like a fair trade. Who knows one of your horde of man-boy following might not be too critically flawed and become husband material.

>>7732168
More like
>If I'm sought after by thousands of drooling neckbeards and pretend to be lesbian with other coswhores, an alpha kun is sure to notice me.

>>7731385
IIRC Verababy charged $150 for a 20min photoshoot with her at a con...

>>7732199
>"ok shitlords, stop having 'just boys clubs', let us womyn turn your hobbies into poorly covered prostitution so you can be invaded with creepy ass fratbros too (which are real men tm, so you know it teehee)"

Jesus christ...

>>7732199
She does hour long skype sessions for less.

>>7729793
does white knighting this hard get anybody laid?

>>7729785
Neither for music, nor poetry, nor the plastic arts do they possess any real feeling or receptivity: if they affect to do so, it is merely mimicry in service of their effort to please. This comes from the fact that they are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything whatever, and the reason for this is, I think, as follows. Man strives in everything for a direct domination over things, either by comprehending or by subduing them. But woman is everywhere and always relegated to a merely indirect domination, which is achieved by means of man, who is consequently the only thing she has to dominate directly. Thus it lies in the nature of women to regard everything simply as a means of capturing a man, and their interest in anything else is only simulated, is no more than a detour, i.e. amounts to coquetry and mimicry.

Most of the coswhores I know don't even pay for cons anymore and just steal badges off others. I wouldn't mind as much if they weren't attending solely for self promotion.
>Photoshoots to sell prints later online.
So they're not only dodging having to support the convention like everyone else but also making profits off their beta friends.
>Because that rachet bikini cost so much to make.

YES! In every single social group, there are ALWAYS the liars who do it to "fit in", regardless of sexual appeal. It's super easy to weed out a "fake", just ask them a SUPER SIMPLE questions, but do NOT make a marathon of asking the most obscure questions ever. Yes, people can memorize simple answers, but to even further see if they actually play, ask them GAMEPLAY questions. IMHO though, it's super obvious if someone is lying.

>>7729785
VeraBaby is fucking beautiful with shoop...not so much without it, so it appears.

there are no fake geek girls

anyone saying she is not a true geek is a misogynist

>/cgl/ complaining about misogynerds claiming girls can't play vidya 24/7
>some guys make a video claiming the opposite
>WAAAAH WHAT AN AUTISTIC WHITEKNIGHT

It seems like nothing men do will ever please you cunts, regardless of what it is. Good luck never having a boyfriend, you fat whiny fucks. You deserve to dwell in your own misery and self loathing.

>>7732934

>>7732932
see: Michelle Phan

>>7732958
It's sad that an actually cute, modest-looking girl is standing behind Vera's booth selling her shitty prints. She deserves some love.

>>7732968
>modest-looking girl
Nope. Her boobs are hanging out too.

>>7732974
>Naked News

>>7732979
Semi-low cut top =/= boobs hanging out

She's bent over so obviously her cleavage is going to be a little bit visible, but the shirt/dress thing is still fairly modest, especially compared to what that whore Vera is wearing. Picture related would be an example of boobs spilling out of one's shirt.

>>7730427
Project your victim complex harder.

>>7732958
>>7732968
She looks like Emily Osment.

There is a such thing a fake nerdy girls.

However, there are also legitimate nerdy girls that get thrown into the fake category because of them. It's unfortunate, but also, who the fuck cares if some dude makes assumptions about the validity of your passion for something? They aren't worth your effort nor time.

>>7732214
nude?

>>7733239
yes.

>>7732974
oh look it's brandy dawly who abandoned her kid to sleep around with other guys.

>>7733060
>tfw I had a crush on Emily Osment when I was 13
Now she just looks like a 35-year-old porn star.

>>7731494

>>7732974
>theres fucking children in the background of that picture
cmon now

>>7733427
> oh no, children are going to see semi-nudity!
>the naked human body is intrinsically sinful and ugly, the sight of a naked woman is enough to turn children into warped little devils

>>7733427

children dont give a shit about bare butts

>>7733456
>>7733472
This

children see their mommy's saggy titties and hairy vag all the time

>>7732224
its 2014 now. You may need to update your scholarly journals.

>>7732224
tl;dr version: anon thinks women only do anything to please men.

>>7733482
>their mommy's saggy titties and hairy vag

>>7733514
>>7733534
It's true though. You can always see women competing for male attention everywhere. Ever noticed how men always look chill in photos while women have a certain pose/face they have to do in every single pic, which they have practiced in front of a mirror a thousand times?

>>7732934
>men complaining about posers hijacking the hobby
>woman complaining about posers hijacking the hobby
>This has happened to any scene ever, from punks to skaters and anything underground that became a popular fad to be a part of.
>somehow it's weird and malicious to think the same thing now in the year of our lord 2014.

Come the fuck on man, the only thing worse than pretenders is people who have the gall to defend them so they can be sure of their own position of "authenticity" as well.

I'm glad I just make suits and prance around instead of keeping up with all this drama, about fucking nobodies.

Why can't I just hate both of them.

The fans are pathetic for buying shit, she is pathetic for being shit.

What I don't understand is even if there are fake "Gamer girls" why anyone cares. They are seriously not effecting you so relax. Really though who gives a flying shit.

>>7735449
People just like complaining.

>>7735449
Whores are fucking blemish on humanity.

>>7734959

>nerd porn.

Why does it matter? When attractive people dress up as geek icons, it does not diminish a fandom if they are not as geeky. Its when people see these costumes and somehow see a set of obligations that a fandom is hurt.

>>7735554

>>7735675
That's Photognome. I've seen him around at a few cons. Sells kilts and is friends with a lot of skimpy cosplayers like Alisa Kiss.

>>7735536
yes, spoony, everyone is making out and having explicit sex in every corner of the con

your logic never ceases to amaze me

>>7732974

Why is it allowed to have children next to literal pornstars showing their asses?

>>7735805
Because Daddy needs moar fap material.

>>7735770
>>7735675
>>7735554

I think that's actually Alisa Kiss's photographer.

>>7734912
We're calling softcore porn cosplay now?

>>7732974

>>7733456

I would tip my fedora, but you've already done one better.

>>7731385
While there may not be money for most of these girls, I have a close childhood friend that does it all. She gets on LoL and Dota and does the twitch streams with the cheesy fake baby voice, colored scene hair/makeup/piercings, titties out, hot topic/thinkgeek nerdwear and all. The whole getup. She's also maxed out her facebook friend list letting these creeps into her personal life.
IRL she's always been really fucking cool and a good person when she's with people she knows and is comfortable with, but she's got actual daddy issues from being abused as a child and she craves male attention with an intensity I honestly never thought could actually be real. It doesn't matter if they're right next to her or across the country, she needs to know at least one person thinks she's cute at all times because deep down she'll never believe it when she looks in the mirror. It's depressing to watch.

But by all means if you like your body and you like your geeky whatever, cosplay the shit out of Kill La Kill/Lollipop Chainsaw/etc, but don't get Sexy Halloween Pikachu, or bad-Spiderman-porn-parody-tier Mary Jane about it. It doesn't matter if they play games every day, once in a while, or not at all, if they feel the need to advertise their body through nerdy shit, 9/10 are doing it for attention.

>inb4 a lost tumblrite thinks im male

People hate fakers because it ruins the enjoyment for them. If you know someone is faking it, then it undermines the entire concept of it and just makes it feel shitty. If you've ever had a real relationship with people you would know how shitty it feels for someone to fake enjoying something. It's flat and bothers you deep down.

Cam whores are exploiting desperate nerds. Then in the next breath claiming they're victims to harassment and need to be treated with kid gloves. Completely ignoring both genders have their perks and a lot of the abuse they get is dished out equally to men. Got an accent outside of America? Prepare to be shit talked, but that's totally different from being shit talked for being a woman some how.

I don't like fat nerd girls.

As someone who's shy as fuck I'm only able to approach cosplayer girls and ask for their pictures is because I think they share my love for the hobby. It's the reason I don't ask those booth girls for pictures, they're just hired for being there and probably look down on me and on the other people who attend the convention.

I hate Brandy >>7732974 so fucking much. I pity her boyfriend. I hate how she talks about "Female Empowerment, Roar" but literally can't do anything without being a whore.

Well excuse her for having a vascular system. Sorry your precious eyes were soiled by a vein.

>>7737671
lol, you're either a femanon jelly or a faggot if you wouldn't fuck that

>>7739544
She looks kind of ugly to me tbh. It could just be the picture and way she applied makeup. She seems rather tasteless with what she's wearing, her tattoos, and her excessive eye makeup.

I'd give her a 7/10 in that getup at best and wouldn't bang her. Some guys just aren't into that.

>>7731494

So.... You are a faggot who dont fuck this girl?

>>7739627
Dont you know ? every guy frequents the internet is a hot greek god. Jesus..is this your first day on the internet

>>7739627
>>7740029
Too much time on /cgl/ has given me insane standards.

I wouldn't fuck any girl with such horrible costume workmanship.

>>7731527
Dude there's nothing wrong with her Brock, it's not whorish. If anything it's a bit toned down
She could have stepped it up with tighter shorts and rubbed ice cubes on her nipples so they'll poke through the shirt.. whatever. I think it's cute and not slutty

>>7739627
You could have worded that differently but yeah, I'll agree with you.

>>7734912
goood she's fucking hot. not sure if i wanna eat her out or be her

I'd eat her asshole out with an ice cream scooper. Sure she does nude photography and cams but who's to say she takes 100s of dicks a day.

Damn, Dave Lang is really pulling off that Ivy crossplay.

>>7741006
Because faking lez is nothing new in the porn industry.

>>7735449
because they are actually starting to bitch about the games they pretend to play, so much that the developers are starting to pay attention to them and change things to pander to them, and they aren't even close to being the majority of the audience/user base

>>7740064
So a cut guy would be more your liking.

>faggot

If you ask a girl about the thing she's cosplaying from, are you accusing her of being a "fake geek girl"? Like, if you're just trying to make conversation about an interest that you assume she shares with you?

>>7741790
cosplay is consent so once you ask her you have the ok to grope or fuck her

>>7741790
Well it depends how you ask it, anon
Good:
>Oh, I love Nerdy Franchise too! Who's your favorite character? How long have you liked Series?
Bad:
What happened in issue #99? What's your character's middle name? How long have you been a fan?
Its a conversation not a quiz.

>>7741803
nope.

fake geek grills need to be quized and flushed out

>>7741807
I agree.
Once I quiz them I usually follow them back to their hotel room and rape them. Sometimes I rape the ones that actually know the series, just to teach them a lesson about why you shouldn't be a massive slut.
I'm helping clean up cons, one at a time. We can do this if we all work together, guys.

I think they are a lot less plentiful than autists make them out to be. To me, it sounds like a bunch of nerds getting defensive over their interests. Like playing video games and watching cartoons requires some form of intelligence. They consider it something that defines their personality and separates them from the rest of humanity, and they can't stand seeing the hot people who bullied them in high school taking part in it. Keep in mind, these interests are typically shared with eight year olds.
