I have to wonder what Yaya's response will be to this show. Will she back it up 100% pretend like it never happened or back peddle? Either way she'll get shit for it. Honestly I think some cons should consider banning her with all the damage she's done to this community's image.

Meanwhile on Yaya's twitter.

>anyone of any size can and should cosplay. I've been saying this for 10+ years. Cosplay is an artform, not modeling.
>Lila, they will always judge. I was judged for Jessica Rabbit because the figure was "too perfect". Do not focus on that.

I'm a bit appalled that a lot of the feed is people sucking her proverbial dick and saying how much of an inspiration she is for them to start cosplay. What show are they watching?

So far she's supported and hyped it frantically and backpedaled whenever she said/did something stupid or offensive. Right now she's still trying to cover her ass for basically saying that people need to "stick to their body-type", while also trying to backpedal on referring to herself as the "Cosplay Ambassador"

I like Chloe a lot. I wish she wasnt on the show.

I absolutely cannot believe what Yaya said about Jessica. She's doing SO much better than Yaya is in my opinion. I also think it was stupid of her to say Chloe doesnt know what shes getting in to? Chloe has her own TV show thats leagues above this shitfest.

I mean, I like to put some light electric shit in my cosplays sometimes too. That doesn't mean win.
yaya was blinded by the lights, and that's something that seems to happen very often, specially with her searching for the fama diva famous light.

Overall, Bring the costumes, I'll judge the fuckin' costumes. Promise not to chose some shitty armour.

Am I the only one who is noticing how fucking terribad the episode synopses are on the Heros of Cosplay website? They sound like they were written by a high school-age valley girl. As if the show wasn't a dramafest already, these synopses... ugh.

I sorta figured the crew used their own power source for that stuff since I've heard that's pretty common... but then again, that's typically for outdoor sets.

I dunno, the show just seems to have a lot of "pros" making really amateurish mistakes for fake drama.

That would make sense, but I know that even for a well established show like No Reservations, lights and things like that are often run off in-building power. There are a few episodes where they show what a hassle it is to set everything up (for them, and the locals.)
You're right about things conveniently going wrong and looking like fake drama for the sake of fake drama. It's one of those train-wreck shows I enjoy watching-- and I don't feel guilty about it either, since I'm not a Nielson Family.

While I have yet to hear from someone with credible evidence for anything, it's pretty likely she got them done to give herself an edge in cosplay. That, or according to some people on here, to support a "dancing" career. But then again, /cgl/.

Honestly, even there I think Jnigs comes off better.

Jessica does change costumes to be 'sexier' but at least she's up front about that and has fun with it. When someone asks Jessica what her favourite thing is she pretty much always just shouts BOOBS with a big smile on her face. That may not be to everyone's taste but you can't knock her for being true to herself. She's a bleach blonde in a push-up bra and she's totally okay with that and that's fine. Not my cup of tea, but it's fine.

Yaya is a hypocritical bullshitter. She started off as a non-physical escort and would turn up to D*C in nothing but see-through underwear and school girl and nurse fetish outfits. Then she realised she could scrape a living from this, had her breasts inflated to hilarious proportions and began exclusively making costumes that she can show her tits off with. Sure, some of the costumes were designed to be that way from the begining, but she's also done a lot of 'original creations' which have the same features, she's done 'costumes' where she's totally topless with just body paint on and she's posed in her underwear and topless for the Philippino FHM.
At the same time she throws gigantic tantrums about how people shouldn't treat her like just a pair of walking breasts and how people shouldn't do 'sexy' cosplays and how she's this great ambassador promoting craftsmanship.

Jessica was and would be nothing if it weren't for her cleavage and skimpy costumes and she's embraced that.
Yaya was and would be nothing if it weren't for her cleavage and skimpy costumes and she speaks out against that.

People can post about Jessica Rabbit and sexy Ash Ketchum all they want. Fact is Jessica is shit but she's honest shit. Yaya is lying shit.

Most of ep2 is pretty much just Yaya being butthurt that her slave labour wants to go play with other people now. She should get fucked for thinking she is in any position to lecture anybody, let alone the hobby as a whole, on what cosplay should or shouldn't be.

I hold Yaya and Jnig in the same regard more or less. One is just making a bigger ass of themselves at the moment. All that shade, Yayaboo.

The protege thing was laugable; Yaya is no Miyagi. That girl's Ivy was garbage however.

The Beetlejuice girl is adorable and I can only hope she's not television-nice.

It was bitchy but I enjoyed watching Icky Vicky weasel out of Yaya's questioning. Poor Jinyo.

Jesse needs to calm his yayas about not winning shit. His stuff looks incomplete.

Still waiting to see actual construction or a neat technique instead of a shitty spin and some boring "sketches" but I guess that would mean using costumes made in this year.

It is making me dislike the cosplay phenomenon all together. I see great cosply from people who expects nothing from it. Versus the sad and pathetic people that "want to quit their day job" for it. They should stay in their basements.

Now you have guys in the industry for 20 years plus making special effects and practically starving at the moment they made their relevant pieces. They get out shined by a little girl selling pictures saying that they do it for the fandom....then hands you a business card....

Also The Monica Chick, The Ivy cosplayer, I feel terrible for her after YaYa had to say shit to her before she went up, Totally killed her confidence.

Its also worth pointing out that Jessica has fun with it. You dont see her making posts like Yayas, saying FUCK FUN, THIS IS MY LIFE. You dont see her getting angry that people only care about her boobs. She rolls with it, she knows what gets her popular, and shes a genuinely nice person.

I've heard tons of complaints about the way Yaya acts at cons and the drama she starts, yet ive heard nothing but positivity when people meet or have booths near Jessica.

they *are* starting to count internet views from the next day through sites like hulu and the broadcasting companies' sites if they host videos. nielsen is a really poor and outdated way to meter a show's popularity, so it'd be nice if they improved it or took next-day internet watches a little more seriously.

Every fiber of my being is wishing that Chloe is as genki and nice IRL as she is on TV. It feels like they're pushing her to play up being the "newcomer," but I'm still charmed? I'm annoyed that I'm so charmed.

Who says whether making your own costumes or not has anything to do with it? We're not talking about who deserves to win first place in the costume contest. We're talking about which one of them is the more obnoxious, vile little shit.

If you think making costumes by yourself is so important that you value it above things like having fun and being a nice person, get the fuck out right now.

For that matter, Yaya has always had help with her costumes, too. She has friends who supply her with wigs for free, her fiance does most of her painting and she never goes to a con without an assistant.

Nobody is saying that either Jessica or Yaya is some patron saint. In fact everybody is acknowledging that they are both shitty. But there are different levels of shitty. If "she didn't make the costume herself" is the biggest complaint you can level at Jessica vs the endless complaints everyone can level at Yaya, you know Jessica is at least a step above Yaya even if she's still shit.

After this show and the way she's reacted to it, anybody who defends Yaya in any way needs to gtfo of cosplay.

Fun shit about Holly. Holly was commissioned by the face model of Samara to make a Samara costume for her. At the last minute something happened, she backed out, the costume wasn't finished, and Holly kept her money.

Nothing was said about it because of Holly's involvement and Jessica working for Bioware and the woman who modeled for Samara not wanting to make a giant fucking scene about it.

I couldn't stop thinking of Tommy Wiseau whenever they all kept talking about Yaya throughout the whole show. As I pointed out earlier, they literally mention/talk about her at least 7 different times within the show's first ten minutes in the second episode.

It also made me laugh when I remembered that both have scenes where they're trying to come off as wise, caring and insightful mentors towards their "protege." So does this mean Monika is Denny?

I don't think that female judge was in the wrong either, I though her critique was perfectly valid. It's up to a cosplayer whether or not they want to be in FULL character when wearing a costume. But really, if you're going to enter a contest and do a walk on, even if you aren't the best character actor, you should at least try to strongly represent who you're dressed up as.

Monica didn't even try, she just walked on stage and waited for them to shower her with praise.

So I just rewatched ep 2 with a friend tonight because he hadn't seen it, & I chose to pay very close attention to the whole dinner party chat since there's been a lot of controversy over it. We start with Yaya saying "Let's talk about Cosplay Pet Peeves." And Riki starts talking about big muscular guys should go be super man. Chloe responds saying something along the lines of "But what if you wanna do what you want, regardless of how you look." Everyone just stares at her and Riki tries to explain the whole "If you're 300 lbs and you wanna be superman, then your photos get on the net, what good is that for them?" And when Chloe tries to say that it should be all about fun there's comments of her being new and that she's naive. Victoria clearly says "Cosplay is Srs Bzness" and Yaya goes on her little talk about how you should look in the mirror and cosplay to your body type (Yaya you should take your own advice and not cosplay chii from fucking Chobits then.)

So we have all this shit taking place which makes everyone else who jumps into this conversation (Yaya, Riki, and Victoria) look like it's all about your look & if you don't have the look for something you should skip it and go for what suits you, not what will be fun for you. That shit irks me to no end and even worse between Riki diverting hate away from Yaya for the situation, that the dinner was 2.5 hours long and it was edited, and Yaya trying to convince people that it's all about doing what you want and having fun is If you don't want people to think you're a horrid person, don't talk like that on television! Plus, the whole conversation is started with PET PEEVES. Are you fucking kidding me?! If that shit bothers you so much? Stop going to cons & stop having fun (except Yaya, there is no fun, only her mortgage)

tl;dr Shut yo' mouf, this is a hobby. The only Heroes I see are Chloe and Monika for doing what they want because they wanted to do it for themselves.

>cosplay to your body-type
>cosplay isn't just about fun
but those are both opinions espoused on /cgl/? I daresay the way cosplay has become more about costuming and less about expressing your love of a character or series contributes to this idea, and I don't want to say this is a bad thing either as making fancy costumes is a perfectly valid hobby. Also, its easy for some pretty, skinny bitch to say "cosplay is all about fun, dress how you like!", but jealous fatties such as myself don't have that fucking option.

Seagulls hating on the above greentext, and liking JNig, seems really different to normal, but I suppose that's the schizophrenic nature of a board with no hivemind.

Yes, it's an opinion that a lot of people express on /cgl/ but what sane person would use 4chan to gauge the views of a community?

More importantly, it's such a big deal because it shows Yaya being hypocritical. As we all know, Yaya is a self-dubbed "Cosplay Ambassador" who claims to have the goal of getting cosplay out there to as many people as possible. To turn right around and tell people what they can and can't do, while also getting the main point of cosplay wrong shows that she's really more interested in fame and status, not cosplay.

It pisses me off that they call Chloe naive. So wanting to have fun in a hobby where you dress up as fucking CARTOON CHARACTERS is naive? She has the right idea and I hope she doesn't let the pettiness get her down.

/cgl/ has a lot of varied opinions and I think the focus here is on the apparent hypocrisy of Yaya and co's statements.

Though, personally, I don't think the idea of cosplaying to your body-type and cosplaying for fun are mutually exclusive concepts. I don't compete and I don't give a fuck about e-fame, but I think I'd have a lot less fun in costume if I was wearing something really unflattering. I think that's true for a lot of people––it's nice to feel like you've got a great costume and it looks great on you vs. feeling paranoid that someone's going to ask you for a photo just so they can ridicule the fat girl in the bikini online (regardless of whether that's actually going to happen or not).

the difference is jnig isn't a massive fucking cunt and was ASKED to do the lolipop chainsaw job.

yaya looks like a 90 year old transvestite and is basically doing the equivalent of someone going on t.v. and saying they are the "ambassador of d&d because they dm'd a few times."

one is hot and accentuates the fact that she's hot and gets work because she is hot.

the other tirelessly whores herself to get as famous as possible while stepping on literally the entire community's collective corpse to do what? get more pictures of her shit on the chive?

does yaya really think that the "ambassador of cosplay" thing is going to stick?

i'm going to start calling myself "the god of vaginas" and see if that gets me out of anything. brb

I fucking still listen to Kayne West despite the fact that he is a massive douchebag. How much he sucks doesn't affect my enjoyment of the end product. It's not like we know Yaya is a horrible racist or anything like that. She's just a bitch, and that's okay. That's not going to stop me from liking her work.

He really seems like the kind of cosplayer who just doesn't give a shit about competing. He seems to really enjoy puzzling out a costume.

Of course I don't know what other costumes he's worn to cons heh

That was Riki. Monika didn't really have anything to say about the results of the contest as far as I remember.

Riki was a dissappointment in that episode if only for the fact that she says "I'm gonna give it that 10-15% and doesn't pull out all the stops to show it.

It's actually not identical, as you can see from the number of "ruffles" (in store bought dress, there are 4 to each side. On hers, there are 3.)
She never denies she didn't make it. She says very clearly on her fb in the original photos that Jinyo made it for her. Jinyo is a pretty damn good draftsman/seamst(er?), so I actually don't doubt that he made it, just following very closely to the design of the Betsey dress.

Pretty much this.
It's hilarious when they show her doing "work", i.e. moving some fabric around, sewing a straight line across ONE piece of tulle, sitting on the couch with a needle and some trim, etc...
Meanwhile everyone else is pouring resin into molds, cutting leather, making head casts (however needless), etc...
Victoria is by far the worst person on HoC. I even find Yaya more tolerable than her.

Victoria - let the world know that Jinyo is really the one who makes her costumes

Monica - show that she really just wants attention like Jnig

Chloe - show that she's too dumb to be a cosplayer and doesn't understand how it works

Becky - show that she can be full of herself

If that was Yaya's goal then she failed miserably because all I got from episode 2 is that Chloe is the only cool person surrounded by a bunch of twats.
Not trying to rage at you directly, I just can't stand Yaya. Actually went and unliked her FB page yesterday, don't know what possessed me to like it in the first place. Ignorance I suppose.

lol trust me anon, it wasn't for the titties. Straight woman reporting in.
I guess I used to admire her success and the quality level of her costumes, but that was before I knew anything about her as a person.
After watching HoC it's become very apparent that she isn't the sort of person anyone should be looking up to.

Anonymous Fri Aug 23 22:08:11 2013 No.7059984

Late to the party. Watched both episodes yesterday, here's my gut reaction:

The editing on this show is infuriating. Most of what the girls say on this show has obviously been edited out of context, ie the body type conversation was probably a full on debate.

Yaya needs to fuck off: she's not a good role model at all. She's self-serving, arrogant, gossipy, everything I've come to loathe about cosplay and the community. Worst still, the show goes along with it just because she has a strong personality. Right after Yaya's little bitchfit about Jnigs, Jnigs suddenly gets a ton of out of focus candid shots, cuts to her with subtitled dialog implying she's gossiping, just classic reality TV methods of painting someone as the villain. Yaya does have a point about the blatant sexualization of characters that don't need to be sexualized (Jnig's Connor costume made me angry) but you shouldn't shame someone on national TV if you wish to be the "ambassador of cosplay" (typing that out makes me sick, I don't want or need a fucking ambassador of cosplay) I'm not a fan of either of them but at least Jnigs doesn't publicly denounce anyone on national television. I would actually watch this show on a regular basis if Yaya went fucked off out of sight.

The other girls aren't even that bad compared to Yaya. Yeah sure, Victoria is annoying but we've all known/been that person who gets too competitive, gets too ambitious, lies about construction, takes something that should be fun too seriously, etc. I've been in that place before and it's not a healthy mindset to be in for this hobby, so I appreciate that some attention is being given to how shitty it can get for some people. I feel she's a necessary evil, her attitude illustrates the dark side of cosplay that the average person is not aware of.

>>7059984
(con't)
In short, the show right now is basically an excuse for Yaya to jerk herself off. For someone claiming to represent the community/hobby she's certainly done a fuckton of damage to it in a short two hours. Everyone else is a somewhat interesting character and they're all surprisingly relateable, even Victoria but in a different way.

To improve, this show needs to be less about catty "cosplay celebrity" shit and more about the construction, though that's probably too much to ask of reality TV. There's plenty of interesting content and drama during the construction of cosplays, we all know this from our own experiences. Just look at Mythbusters: you feel the team's excitement when they manage to get some crazy contraption working and you want to see how they solve problems when something doesn't go as planned. Seeing someone else figure out an integral part of a costume would be really entertaining, seeing how exactly a piece of armour is put together would be really interesting. For instance, the construction of the strapon tail thing would've been a funny side story, same with Jesse's armour pieces and Jinyo's wiring. Unfortunately, they're not gossipy bitches so SyFy isn't going to give a shit about them.

tl;dr: less Yaya and more Jinyo.

I agree with this.
I respect Jessica so much more than Yaya. I'm not totally a Jessica fan but Yaya is just delusional. Her life is cosplay and she tries to pass of dressing up as fictional characters and going to conventions as a "career" - the only thing even remotely career-like about what she does is the cat ears and it seems Brian does all that. Yaya is little more than an unemployed attention whore with a huge ego who spends all her time overcompensating for her shortcomings.

Jessica on the other hand has had much more, and more legitimate, modeling work than Yaya in the short time she's been in the game. Jessica is beating Yaya at her own game, and on top of that she turned down HoC which was a really smart decision. I'm not particularly fond of either of them, but in my opinion Jessica is leagues better than Yaya.

that's what I'm doing.

I try not to give either of them a moment's thought. They both represent the worst cosplay has to offer so why let then bring it down by letting them be part of my cosplay world?

I want to see ingenious ways to use foam, amazing paint jobs, crazy ass metal work, using fabric as sculpture, movie level detail made in someone's basement...
Beautiful photography, use of lighting, wonderful settings...

Not tits ass, tits tits tits, ass, vag, 1 lb of make up, ass, tits.

Correction. Yaya hoped this show would be an excuse for her to jerk off.
What it actually is is her being made to look like a total prick on an international stage and now she's working herself sick trying to do damage control.

Cosplayers make inaccurate costumes, /cgl gives them shit about it.

Jinyo makes an accurate reproduction of a Betsey Johnson dress, then makes it awesome with Tron lights, /cgl gives him shit about it.

Why doesn't someone here just ask him? Or ask for a pic of the inside of the dress? I've never seen something home made that looked as clean as a factory made. It should be pretty obvious if it's home made or factory.

Excuses why we can't be bothered to ask him! Let them flow!

This is true, though. Jinyo seems like a cool dude who's too much of a pussy to tell his girlfriend to fuck off when she's being a complete bitch.

Everyone on this show other than him and that chick who did the Beetle Juice cosplay sucks.

They ask them to say nasty or overly dramatic things and then edit things a certain way.
These girls obviously are attention whores, yes, but I can't imagine they'd treat their bfs in such a horrible way if the cameras weren't there.
Maybe that's just me believing in the good of human beings (in cosplay out of all places as well) but I can't imagine anyone continuing to be in a relationship where they just get bossed around and used.

This show is such bullshit. I feel bad for the people involved, because I feel like the syfy producers were always directing these conversations, staging fake drama and scenes and blatantly editing interviews out of context.

This is not the Cosplay documentary that we were told it would be. This is a mean-spirited and dishearting view of cosplay.

For a naive time I was hopeful that this would be a good experience and exposure for the cosplay community. I was hoping that it would be something like KenAD's mini-documentary he did a while back
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zc68Q4ZB84

Instead we have this embarrassing display of bitchiness and false-ego boosting from the cast. It's sad that none of the cast members, these so-called "heroes of cosplay" have won best in show yet. And as such, if the reports are true, the syfy producers are forced to rig the Megacon contest so that one of their cast member can FINALLY win a contest.

I feel bad for Jesse and Jinyo, though. Jesse is not a great costume maker but he really loves what he is doing and I have a feeling the producers are pushing that "i wanna be famous" angle to the point where it makes him very unlikable.
Then Jinyo literally does all the work and without him, his bitchy girlfriend literally falls apart, yet she will whine and complain to him that he isn't working fast enough. So fuck her.

Anyways, I will keep watching this train wreck and keeping my fingers crossed for more Chloe.

I raged over last week's episode but this one? I laughed so much. The narrator really made the show with quotes such as:

>"Rikki hits a snag that can undermine her reputation as a top-notch fabricator."
It doesn't work like that...

>"Still feeling the sting of humiliation in Portland, Victoria has Jingyo to help salvage her damaged reputation--"
Again... it doesn't work like that. ...but then again, this show let the cosplay community know that she's a lazy, complaining, sniveling princess.

Man. This episode was too stupid to get angry over. I still hate all the people on this show but I do like Chloe. Chloe at least seems like a real human being.

I can vouch that this show is really screwing up the whole "image of cosplay", or rather the idea of it. I had some friends over last night for a HoC drinking game, and they don't cosplay, so showing this to them made them question a bunch of stuff. Case in point:

Friend: So anon, why don't you enter contests?

Me: Cause I can't sow and our friend makes all my costumes for me.

Friend: Then why do you do it?

Me: Cause I love not being me for 24 hours and being a dork with other dorks and having fun.

Friend: So? That Tron girl didn't do anything either and entered.

Me: That, my dear is friend, is what you call a dirtbag.

Friend: Ooooo. Don't you want the money?

Me: I have a job, I don't need their little 500$ cash prizes (not knocking it or anything or boosting, but I'm lucky enough to make that in 2 days, I PERSONALLY don't care). It's called a hobby, not a lifetime commitment. That's why cons are once a year.

Friend: That Yaya girl does it, right?

Me: ..soooorta. She makes little ears and wings that people buy. And she's got a husband. And she sells prints of herself in tight leather costumes. So...I guess.

Friend: That doesn't sound fun.

Me: Daaaaaaaar yeah go.

But seriously, I don't even think I would want to have Yaya's so-called "professional" life. Sounds like the biggest stress jerker ever. Can you imagine being in "day before con panic mode" 24/7? Sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen to me. But to each his own I guess.

Someone posted the picture on fb. Jinyo keeps copy pasting the same response to everyone

>I made the dress from scratch, inspired by pictured of this Betsey Johnson dress.
More details here: http://jinyo.net/?p=58

>If you watch the show, you can see some of the subtle modifications I made to the design, such as the corset back instead of the zipper, the shoulder straps, the inset side panels, and a lot of the seam design. I also made the overlapping skirt "petals" separate, so they would poof out more when she moved. I also made the white fluffy part shorter, so it would stick out less.

>I WISH I could afford a Betsey Johnson dress to rip holes in for wiring! Or three dresses, as it turned out (read my blog post if you want to know what I'm talking about). But if I spent hundreds of dollars on a dress, I wouldn't dare damage it, even for cosplay!

Scary thought, right? Call me a nostalgic oldfag, but I remember a time when not every snapshot/progress pic/costume in general had to translate to Facebook fan page likes or tumblr reblogs; it seemed more like "Hey you're dressed as the thing I like from that other thing I like, and I like that". So get off my lawn you damn kids.
