what grinds your gears /cgl/?

Mine is people in very small fandoms insisting their fandoms are huge and popular and important. I'm looking at you Jojo's and Touhou.

lol when the fuck has anyone ever considered Jojo's huge or popular or important?? In fact the sentiment I've seen seems to be more hoping it stays small and obscure and troo-fanz-only.

Touhous are annoying as fuck though but idk about the huge/popular/important there either.

If you don't believe JoJo is a huge thing in Japan, you're missing a lot of stuff.

>multiple specific exhibitions, in Sendai and in Tokyo
>special author exhibit at the Louvre
>eighth arc gigantic display in Shibuya
>Gucci collaboration worldwide

I've been to Japan. JoJo isn't super-mainstream like One Piece, but there's small JoJo things everywhere, and this is before the giant 25th anniversary campaign.

It's a small fandom in English but don't knock its influence in its native country.

I'm not the anon who mentioned it, but I'm kind of annoyed by the nostalgia shebang too, mostly because it's cheap. One can forego a good cosplay in favor of choosing to cosplay someone from a "nostalgic" series and receive recognition, and also there's sort of a judgey feeling to a lot of it, like "if you don't know who I am I'm judging you, but you'll never be able to redeem yourself (like you would if the series was current) because you passed the time where having the interest was cool."

Personally I'm pissed with the whole rehashing/rediscovery of things like Disney, MLP, and Doug, but I'm probably just bitter because I didn't much like those things when they were cool the first time and the things I did enjoy didn't get a second round.

Anonymous Thu Mar 21 21:10:26 2013 No.6712460

>>6712446
I can see your reasoning there, because some of the designs back then also weren't very cosplay-oriented. It probably wasn't until well into the 2000's where costumes for characters got more cosplay-friendly and appealing.

I don't feel like I have ever come across that sort of judgey-feeling. I see it as a cool way to introduce something new to someone else. It's the same way other people got me into looking up a new anime.

- Bringing over $7,000 in camera gear, and then having some pseudo-cosplayer in a crappy costume whom I'm being nice to asking he or she if I can take their picture, and he or she saying "only if I don't have to get out of my chair." Fuck you and your chair. I just walk away without saying anything else or taking their pic.

- Teenagers and even a few early 20-somethings screaming and running everywhere. I mean literally screaming like they're 6 and literally running around as if the venue is a grammar school playground.

- Smokers. Usually I go outside when I want a breath of fresh air. At cons though, going outside means getting lungs filled with dense second-hand smoke from retards who think they're immune from cancer and lung disease.

- Homestuck cosplayers. They're to cosplay what Juggalos are to metal.

Other than that I'm pretty causal.

I get tired of seeing unstyled wigs for characters that have a normal hairstyle. I do understand that not everybody is willing to put forth effort or even have the skill to do some things with wigs, but for fuck sakes at least try. Even if it's just bangs. Been seeing this with a lot of Evangelion and Sailor Senshi wigs. When it looks like you pulled a wig out of it's bag and placed it on your head, it hurts the overall cosplay.

This is even more wtf, when the cosplay is very well made.

Not being able to choose a line-up for a con. I have no idea what my Fanime plans will be, if there are any, and I only have two months to make anything new or fix anything up.
People asking for cosplay suggestions and not giving anyone else any. Pick your favorite off a list; it's the simplest thing. Show some courtesy if you want other people to help you out.
Organizing. I'm terrible at it. My fabric mound is terrifying. I'm looking into getting those clear plastic shoeboxes and hoping that frees up some space in my closet so I can put in...more fabric...

I don't understand that, either. Especially when people get pissed off at the "Sexy Rule 63 ____" cosplays. Bearing in mind some exceptions, if that character were a female, you can bet that their creators would have given them a 'sexy' design since that's the "norm" for most female characters. So if someone is going to cosplay a female version of a male character, they might as well base their designs off a reasonable assumption of what that character would look like if they were female to begin with.

Yeah, there are already plenty of "sexy" characters to cosplay, but what if they like one character in particular that happens to be male? What if they aren't suited for crossplay? So many series have an abundance of male characters and there's a 50/50 chance what female characters they DO have aren't very compelling.

If they love a certain series so much that they want to cosplay from it and that's the best way for them to do it, then let them do what they want. It could even be a fun, tongue-in-cheek thing and would be cute if done well. The key word here being 'well', of course.

The people who don't do it well? In my mind they're on par with the "bathrobe kimono, sweat pants and Party City wigs" cosplayers. Worthy of the odd jeer because of their hilarious terribleness, but hardly the vitriol you see on here.

beta faggots who wine constantly about girls/casuals/black people/whatever other group ruining shit.

yeah it sucks that the market is releasing lots games designed for casual gamers and yeah it sucks a lot of anime that's making it over here is generic shit like Hetalia. the companies are dicks who whore themselves out to the most profitable customer base. you're still going to shell out 60 bucks for the next game you like and you're still going to get that tiger & bunny DVD set.

yeah it's annoying when obnoxious newbies (be they ~*gurl gamurs*~ or otherwise) are rude, mean or otherwise going out of their way to shit all over you personally. but does it really disrupt your enjoyment of your hobby so much if they're minding their own business? If someone wants spend hundreds of dollars so they can take selfies of them posing with various games and systems, so the fuck what? can you not ignore them?

If you want to be a territorial jackass that participates in an exclusive, elitist society then I suggest you consider a career in politics.

this is not our special super secret club anymore; we're going to have to deal with casuals and obnoxious new people. Kanye West likes Love Hina. It's over.

tl;dr: stop acting like casuals, etc. raped and killed your village because some girl took a picture of herself with a Play Station controller in her mouth.

This so much. People can be total normalfags and happen to enjoy a certain game or comic, you don't need to dedicate most of your time to manga and anime to gain the right to cosplay a character you like or play a single game.

Most of my favorite series have a pretty small fandom and I can only wish they'd get more fans: it would mean more fanworks, more people to discuss things with and possibly more friends, which is why I really can't stand the current JoJo western fandom: it's an endless stream of "hurr dirty secondaries getting into muh fandom!!". Just let them be. What's wrong if they get interested after watching the anime? What if they don't read the manga? It's a good adaptation that stays true to the original work and if people cosplay a character after watching the anime what's wrong with that?

What I personally don't like is cosplayers who look down on regular anime fans or other cosplayers who read and watch lots of shows, are into fandom culture, etc, like not giving a damn about, say, doujinshi makes them automatically better or more mature. Not being an obnoxious weeb is a matter of respect towards onself and others, but why should one feel ashamed to enjoy something if they are mature about it?

Last but not least I don't get cosplaying a character when you don't know the source material but damn, I really wish everyone would stop blaming or suspecting women of this because I've seen A LOT of men doing the same or doing shirtless or yaoi-bait cosplay just in hopes to get attention from female congoers.

I have nothing against casual gamers. Gaming is a hobby like any hobby (cosplay, stampcollecting) whatever

I am a girl and I am in fact someone who loves videogames. I've been playing it less due to work and sudden illness, but i can understand the only frustration i have is when girls put on a tank top, hold an xbox controller and say they are gamrr gurrrls for attention.
"I play halo and gears of war. Do you like me yet ? am i special?"

that's the ONLY thing that bothers me. Because in general girls tend to have to try harder to be taken more seriously. I've a big batman fan, so i dont mind discussing it with other fans, but once people go into the comics more and try to quiz me, it pisses me off. No, i did not read every issue of batman, including all the alt side stories DC fucking keeps releasing every week. Sorry, Sir. I still love Batman. I can name all the keypoints that mean a lot to me, all the robins i love (Tim drake) and why i love the series as a whole.

But yes, fake gamer girls. I mean, actual ones who dont play games worth shit (not casual ones. i dont mind those.)

I don't mind it so much if it works for the character, and doesn't deviate a whole lot (like basically taking the costume and making it fit the lolita silhouette), especially with outfits that are almost lolita anyway if you just drop the hem, poof the skirt, or add a blouse.

But making lolita co-ords from superheros in lycra or male dwarfs? No. It bears absolutely no resemblance. Why not just say it's an original co-ord, or even inspired by?

I hate having to defend my love for Altair from Ezio fans. You can't just jump in and immediately love him. You play his game and see how he develops as a character, and that's when you learn to appreciate him. And I don't care how difficult Ezio's life was, none of the assassins had a harder life than Altair (especially toward the end of his time).

People who take it personally when a voice actor that creeps them out or a guest they are unimpressed with is going to their con.

It's just many times anime series have to change or remove scenes and chapters due to time restraints. Even worse is when the anime completely misses the characterization of certain individuals. With manga the series is at its "purest" form to the reader and they get the experience that the manga artist intended to.

Jojo is an interesting case as the anime is essentially "cleaning up" the older arc which did have some really shoddy art that does not meet up to Araki's stadards

I fucking love JoJo though and seeing so many new fans makes me happy. So happy. So very very happy. The anime is great and so are most of the new fans.

I'm with the people about obnoxious stripper heel platforms though for crossplay. I can get a bit more heel but when you get to like the heel is as tall as the shoe is long that's a distraction.

Also unsealed body paint. I've been known to spray down errant Homestucks at a con before. You can smear colors all over your skin you should be able to seal it too. If rather see photoshopped after skin than smearing paint.

People don't like loud annoying attention grabbing people in anything! Not in their fandoms, not in their hobbies and no one gives two shits if girls game! Maybe if girls who game didn't get all defensive like "fuck you guys i'm a girl and i game you can't stop meee!" then no one would get annoyed. Because seriously that's what some of them do, unprovoked.

Oh, I didn't understand what that anon meant. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of those, but I don't see how they're that big a deal. The Touhouvania games are pretty good, Super Marisa World/Land maybe not so much, but I don't see the big deal. It's not nearly as bad as what Homestuck does since the characters tend to not have any actual connection to the things they're being crossed over to.

I think ~gamer gurls~ are desperately trying to differentiate themselves and say they're better than the average girl because they share something with males they perceive to be a masculine quality which they think makes them inherently more likeable. I think this is profoundly fucked up... And males eat this shit up? You can be the shittiest/dullest person on earth, but if you have a vagina and play games, somehow you're more interesting than everyone else on the planet? Insipid gamers... Jesus.

I've been to several Touhou meetups, and most of the people there were really nice and fun guys/girls. The only handful that were annoying were the girls who tried to be high pitched meme-shouters. Unlike Homestuck, I didn't feel weird talking to them because not every Touhou fan is a 16 year old girl with badly smeared paint. I see nothing wrong with any of the Touhouvania or other crossovers, it's not like they're widely cosplayed, and when they are they're usually great.

Nothing can express the tears of joy I felt when I read your post. While I admit that I am a Homestuck, it definitely should not be one of the most prominent fandoms at an ANIME convention.

My peeve goes along with some of the other posts here already. I am so done with seeing almost every male character genderbent for cosplay purposes. I know that your favorite character, or God forbid your ~*bishie husbando*~ is male, but at least try to crossplay. And if you can't, I can guarantee that whatever fandom you're in has some kick-ass females for you to cosplay.

Another one is getting psyched to meet a guest that you've wanted to meet for a long time but the con has shitty guest management and is constantly cutting people off. I'm looking at you, Anime Central.

When people can't be bothered to follow basic hygiene at cons. It takes 10 minutes to shower, throw on some deodorant/powder/spray/something. It takes less time to change your clothes, socks, underwear. Nobody wants to smell your funk. I'll never forget being stuck around somebody in a narrow skybridge who smelled so bad I wanted to throw up.

Jojo mostly has an older school fanbase. Not that big, but very very loyal.

They're probably just excited about the new show.

Obviously however, problems could include current anime fans (if I can even call them that) that might fag up the joint a bit by over-doing the fandom a bit and burning out everyone's patience with it.

I actually hate the reverse of this more. Like when girls with huge boobs cosplay flat characters. Most of them don't even bother trying to fake a flat chest.

People who do not know what the fuck personal boundaries or space is. Or those who do then throw it into the wind the moment they step inside a con. Not fucking cool.

People who think others are creeps just by talking to them. Not a healthy thing in or out a con.

I hate this "true fan" bullshit. And honestly, if person A has only seen 1 episode or played only a few levels, and person B has read/played/seen everything and knows the expanded universe and cosplays and writes fanfiction and has been a fan for xx years, but person A gets more enjoyment out of whatever it is than person B, person A is a "bigger fan." I think being a fan is about enjoyment, not a contest or how much random shit you know or how much money you spend, and while those things can be indicative of a real passion, they in and of themselves do not have an effect on how "big of a fan" someone is, but rather ARE the effect.

I like Adventure Time, and Doctor Who, and Sherlock. But it seems most of the people I encounter who love them/participate in the fandom are obnoxious as fuck about it and just in general. Every once in a while I eat those words, but most of the time that rings true. I'm sure I've met plenty of people who like them but don't disclose the information unless prompted, which is why the existence of that group isn't really validated.

What really creeps me out is certain fandoms, like Doctor Who, Hetalia, Homestuck, etc., is they consume a person's life. Like when the last Harry Potter came out and the internet was mourning about the end of "their childhood," I don't remember anybody whose childhood revolved around HP, but I'm seeing people now whose lives revolve around DH, HS, Hetalia, etc.

Yes, but any time you are at a convention, Magic tournament, LAN, or whatever, it really brings this out. Any girl gets a ton of attention, especially if she's even remotely decent looking. If they enjoy that attention, maybe do just a bit to encourage it (since it's a huge self esteem boost!), then they are perpetuating the stereotype. So every guy who does nerd stuff has seen a lot of girls display at least some of this behavior.

Don't get me wrong, there are actors I adore, but (a) that's not the sole determining factor in my entertainment choices and (b) I don't center my entire life around my desire to fuck a fictional character and/or actor.

What grinds my gears? When people cosplay as characters they barely even know.

I know this guy who only cosplays as fan girl favourites like Gilgamesh (Fate/Zero), Kagami (Kuroko no Basket) and Sinbad (Magi). Apparently he doesn't like any of the series and doesn't care about the characters. Usually the characters he cosplays as don't have a shirt and.. well. You get the picture. This really bugs me since one of his choices is my absolute favourite character and he doesn't give a shit about him. If you don't like the character, why even bother? (Well, for the attention of course.) It feels like an insult to the fandom who actually enjoy the series and love the characters.

>Also, when above groups get mad for an Anime/Japanese Game cosplayer ends up getting more attention.
I got fucking hate mail from this shit, which completely pissed me off. GTFO of the Anime convention if your going to complain dick heads. Maybe if you cosplayed to the over all general theme of the damn convention you might get somewhere.

Wow this looks so bad. Thing is, that looks like a pretty decent costume she has. But photoshopping it like that just highlights every way in which she falls short of the animated version.

The way I see it, JoJo has been running for 25 years. I try to avoid posting unconcealed spoilers for Parts I and II out of respect for those watching the anime, but with so much material beyond that that's not spoiler-ish at all to those who've actually been reading the manga, people getting into JoJo through the anime have no right to get buttflustered over people posting Part III-VIII spoilers simply because they started following a 25-year-old series in 2012.

It's just a rumor, with a strong undercurrent of denial. Crunchyroll backed the petition in an attempt to earn some brand loyalty from hambeasts (Crunchy's been shitting themselves because a new streaming service, Daisuki, is going to completely wipe the floor with them), and spun KyoAni's not outright saying "fuck off" as a "we'll consider it." Unless everyone signing the petition were to commit to importing the BDs, the swimming anime isn't going to get made - KyoAni and Kadokawa see very little profit from US licensing of their shows (and none at all from piracy), so making a show for the US market is foolish.

Kind of on the flipside of the gamur girlllll talk.

I used to be one, but I was young and stupid and it was the only wau I recieved attention from guys online. So eventually I chilled, learned it didn't matter and just to pray da gaem.

And then one day I ran into this asshole:

Friend: "Hey anon, head up to the waypoint n' guard dat shit gurrll. That way I can admire your hot manly avatar asss mmmhmm."
Asshole: "Wait wait wait. . . Anon is a GIRL?"
Me: too busy losing it at friend's comment.
Asshole: "no dude, she's a dude. Girls don't play games. Hey, anon, if you really ARE a girl, why are you pkaying this game? It's gory and scary and hasgunz!"
Me: "If it makes you ego feel better I'm wearing my pink frilly dress and am surrounded by my Barbie dolls."

Rest of the clan had a good laugh.

This dude was fucking serious. He sent a message to the clan leader asking me to verify my identity. Was booted shortly afterward. It's always stuck with me, I guess, because it was my first run in with somebody who honest to thought chicks didn't pray gaems.

TL;DR: I understand gamur gurl hate, equally hate men who think girls play games just for attention.

It's pretty common, but more so with music than with TV series. When Take That split up the first time 'round, swathes of teenage girls tried to kill themselves in despair.

Because you like the costume. I couldn't cosplay a character I downright hate, but if the costume's nice, I'll make and wear it even if I don't know even the series. Sometimes I'll make a costume off of a picture I've seen on the internet only to find out it's from something. Some people cosplay to express love for a character, some do it for the costumery bit, some do it for attention, etc.

I understand cosplaying just because you like a costume, but it doesnt annoy me any less. I cosplay because i like or love the character. Anything different seems pointless because you;ll just be out of character the entire time and people will catch on to your bullshit.
