Cosplayer generelezations by character

[Anonymous No.7012549]

cgl has made it clear uncountable times that every girl cosplaying Yoko is just a attentionwhore who barely knows the name of the character they cosplay and are in it just to get men to notice them. Many people say the same goes for Kamina the other way around, and no guy cosplaying him does it for the love of the character.

What else? How do you always expect a cosplayer of some character to act? Is there a character you always want to talk with in every con or one that you run away no matter who is in the costume?

> What kind of generelazations do you have of cosplayers of some specific characters?

I run away from all Homestuck cosplayers. Try to avoid all of them. Don't want to get paint on me, or have to sit around and listen to them try and explain why I need to read it. I just tend to turn around and walk away. Don't want to accidentally be rude to someone who isn't crazy--but don't want to be around just in case they are.

Also try to avoid speaking to Dr. Who cosplayers. I've received a lot of backlash for saying I'm not really interested in watching it.

Harley Quinn. Rarely in any of her actual costumes or choose the ugliest, sluttiest one if you're lucky. Often some red or black monstrosity the screams for attention.

[Anonymous No.7012559]

I can't stand people cosplaying Beatrice, especially since there is at least one in every cosplay contest in my country. They are always chubby cunts who stand in the way of others and bitch to them to not step on their dress because they are ~important contestants~.

On the other hand every Jack Sparrow I've ever spoken with has been real nice and fun guy.

Harley's are one comic cosplay you can absolutely count on to never know anything about comics. They chose her because they like the Joker in theory and want to dress skanky. Not knowing any other comic characters, Harley seems like the obvious choice.

They're generally extremely exclusive at DC gathers and such and wont associate with anyone not related to Batman characters they know (Batman and the Joker, maybe Two Face) not because they don't want to end up in a conversation about comics but because they see Batman TAS and Batman in general as superior to all other comic related shit.

I'd really love to do a Harleen Quinzel cosplay some day, but I hate how badly blonde clashes with my skin tone. Tfw I'll never be the master race.

I try to avoid my own fandoms, especially ponies and homosteaks. I just don't like socializing with them, even though I've had some great experiences. One of these days, I know I'll let my guard down and one of those spastic assholes is going to learn me a thing.

There was a Jack Sparrow at Ohayocon a few years back (maybe 6-8) who was banned from the con for molesting and/or seducing underage girls. He had a great costume though.

When Homestucks try to act 'in character' at cons they literally ruin the character. I've seen so many awkward cool douche Daves and shota idiot Johns.

On a positive note, almost every Master Roshi and Solid Snake I've ever met has been hilarious and cool both in and out of character.

Some people think it is okay to hug me without asking while I'm in my Domo cosplay, which can be alarming because my vision is limited and I don't see it coming. Heck sometimes I get shaken... Thankfully a good majority do ask first and I appreciate that, and often comply, but I wouldn't if the person is painted. The first time I cosplayed, I found a yellow and red smudge on the face. No idea who hugged me to leave that...

So in general I avoid getting hugs from cosplayers who are painted.

Adventure Time cosplayers in general I find to be really nice, chill, funny people and the really gross and uppity ones are pretty rare at the cons I go to.

I find that with females doing superhero and /co/splay things, the person's capacity for knowing their shit is tied directly to how well-done their costume is. Hot Topic Harley Quinns , Black Cats/Catwomen/Black Widows/anything with a black bodysuit where the cosplayer wears a corset on overtop, or anything from Leg Avenue finding its way into the costumes are obvious examples.

There seems to be the misconception that because Yoko's outfit is simple, that it is easy to cosplay accurately. This is not true, the more simple a costume is, the more attention to detail there needs to be. This is why there are so few "good" Yokos in the sea of bad ones.

I tend to search out the decent one piece cosplayers because they tend to be relatively drama free, also they usually cosplay out of genuine love for the character. The fandom is very open and accepting, there is very little elitism and general bitchyness in my experience.

Being a homestuck I am very careful about which homestucks i establish contact with. My community is rather hq in comparsion to the american comms, both cosplay wise and people wise. In a group of hundered there are only around five smeary grey paint monsters. There is, however, a lot of kids followed by drama.

Everything sounds hard when you put it in the correct words. Like making a sandwich is easy as fuck, but when you describe it as "first you have to get off your seat, walk aalll the way to the fridge, take out the butter, take out the cheese, take out everything you need, then take the bread from the cabinet (and walk over to it), spread the butter, etc etc" you make it sound like gourmet cooking. Yoko is goddamn easy to do if you want to look average while on it.

Now it's a different story if you actually want to make the gun yourself and get the hair CORRECTLY and not just stick on the generic red ponytail wig you got from eBay, and actually bother to do the bootcovers and shorts and gloves AND shades yourself instead of just storebought crap. But I've never seen a Yoko like this unless you count everyone who has a full production team behind them and I doubt I ever will because anyone who actually gives a fuck about cosplay won't do the slutty, boring pre-timeskip suit which is probably for the better.

Ballgown Ciel cosplayers are always hyper girls who got the suit from eBay or had their friend make it (crappily) and often don't even know the character outside of fan art.

I love Harley (have all her solo comics) but fear cosplaying her for this reason. Went to a Batman meet once at a con and the girl running it had made a trivia game, but had only ever seen the pre-Bale movies. No comics, no TAS, not even fucking Adam West. She was dressed as Harley but only knew her through fanart and montage videos of her funny lines on TAS. So much secondhand embarassment.

I still don't get the Joker love... He's a good terrifying character but not exactly a romantic heart throb, what with the admitted use and abuse of Harley and all. Harley's been paired with so many others (even Jimmy fucking Olsen) that don't routinely try to blow her up that I don't get it.

This is already a thing that exists, and its pretty good and runs for quite some time. Starts off pretty light and silly but gets a pretty twisty plot by the end. She doesn't do anything with Joker past like issue 1, pairs up with Two Face, has a supervillianess slumber party, cockteases Jimmy Olsen and think she even goes to Hades and helps save a gay cowboy or something.

I actually cosplay Harley Quinn a LOT and know a fairly decent amount about comics. More Marvel than DC, to be honest. I grew up on X-men and Spider-Man, with some Batman.

As for the exclusionary thing, yeah I can see that after having been to and held DC gatherings/photoshoots. A lot of Harleys DO only talk to other Harleys or Jokers, but sometimes they do so out of "hey, thats a common thing we have" Or a lot of them are just incredibly shy. But there are those that just dress up as her because boyfriend/bestfriend wanted them to or its the 'sexy' costume to wear.

I seriously do wanna cosplay Harley (or possibly Dr. Quinzel, could be fun psychoanalyzing random villains) but waiting until my weightloss/musclegain goal is reached. Girl's got some serious tone, she's a friggin Olympic level gymnast and should look it.

Christ, the hipster is strong in this one. I've seen/read literally thousands of series and my top twenty still has a few of the first I watched/read that are definitely considered entry level. Believe it or not, some things become crazy popular and thus grant entry level status for a reason.

Harry Potter cosplayers that are no recognizeable character should better be avoided since they all tend to have an amazing backstory for their OC and are sure you want to hear it.

Totally agree on the L4D survivors- all of them I met have been really nice people and fun to hang out with.

Kingdom Hearts is 'won't even touch with a stick'-tier cause of too many rabid fangirls.

Random generalization: People who cosplay mothers of main characters really seem to identify with this role. Most of them are really sweet and caring.


And man, I am so sad about all the Loki opinions, not only cause I kinda love that character and c(r)o(s)splaying as him as well but because they are way too often true. I will not try and judge my own level of sanity here but I met enough Loki-cosplayers that have some serious issues- which worsens the situation if you are cosplaying as Loki yourself because you try to avoid others, not wanting to deal with another histrionic asshole that wont get you are not friends cause you kinda talked once. And then you are the elitist bitch that can't stand socializing with others.
- then again it's really great with cosplayers of Pepper Potts, you can socialize easily with other Peppers and they tend to be sweet.

As someone who personally did all of the things you said (with the exception of the shades), Yoko can be a difficult costume to make, especially when I did every aspect of the costume without help from anyone, including my dad with all of the wood-working for her rifle.

Pretty much any material people use for her shorts and bikini top is a bitch to work with from the get-go, and then if you're like me and have Yoko-accurate tits, you have to make up a pattern for the bikini top to give enough underboob and support that you can feel comfortable and not worry about it falling off. I dunno if you've ever made a bikini top before, but making them out of a non-stretch material SUCKS. From there is the shorts, which also require pattern-making and a decent amount of work. The scarf isn't terrible because there are a decent amount of tutorials out there, but it still requires time and effort. I didn't make boot covers because I found a pair of boots that I could leather-paint (although I'm not totally happy with them), but once again, painting takes time and effort. Torii sewed in huge-ass zippers for her Yoko boots, which deserves legit props. Making gloves is a bitch and a half as well. Then there's her belt, which as Torii said, you have to hand-stud it yourself if you want it to look right. I'm not completely happy with my wig and I need to mess with it some more, but I poofed up the bangs with curlers and bought a whole 'nother wig to use as the ponytail in order to give it the right poof.

I haven't even explained the effort that goes into making the rifle, but hopefully what I've said makes some amount of sense. You don't need a full production crew to make her costume as accurately as possible, but if you don't go the store-bought route it is not for the light-hearted. I probably spent a good 3-4 weeks on this costume, and I'm going to end up spending even more time because I want to redo various things. Yoko is an awesome character, and I really want to do more of her outfits because the anime is incredible and I love her to bits.
TLDR really long comment about why Yoko can be a difficult costume if you don't go the bought route.

>image related- my Yoko from Otakon. It's nowhere near perfect and I still have things to fix (the strap isn't pink and the wig is a little wonky and the scope isn't the right shape, among other things I could nitpick), but I'm pretty proud of how everything turned out.

I'm female and I like the Eva girls, especially Misato and Rei as I find them relatable and interesting characters.

You look wonderful. Any chance you might consider cosplaying Sorceress?

But Brawl pulls from many different fan bases, making it literally one of the easiest games to enjoy.

You are alone. Forever.

No it's this chick >>7030630 she started coming on /cgl/ after her Nami got posted everywhere. She seems a bit crazy though, like the cum dripping fuck sponge chick though.

They're all interesting, but since they play on animu character tropes, I find it hard to relate to any of them. They're all more "extreme" than me, I guess. The only Eva character I can relate to is Shinji, and even then, I can't relate to him much.

Yoko is the anime slave Leia. It's THE generic sexy character, to the point that it's cliche.

There are way more girls cosplaying from Free! than guys. I don't think it's quite the same just yet, and it won't be the same without fat cosplays of the characters
