Am I wrong to hate lazy as fuck cosplays and the people who do them? I'm not the best cosplayer in the slightest and for quite a long time i didn't cosplay at all i just came to see them and even back than i used to judge people's cosplays.

I just hate when they feel that they can get away with saying their cosplaying when zero love or effort went into it. for example putting on a finn hat and saying your finn or putting on a naruto headband and drawing whiskers on your face and saying your naruto.

this shit bothers me like no tomorrow am I just being a pessimistic cunt or does everyone else feel the same way

OP. Stop it. Stop wasting emotion on shit like this.
Stop bickering over what a cosplay is or isn't. Just...stop. Yes- their costume is lazy. I don't think anyone would bat an eye to it let alone even try to chat with them about their costume.
Effort shows in your costume. People know that. People know what effort looks like.
Its not like their getting a shit ton of attention for it.

Shit like this should be abolished though.

Simple cosplays are good for beginners. The guy you posted is clearly a beginner.

98% of the time if a newbie tries going for a more detailed costume without any skills prior to it, it's probably going to be mediocre/shit tier at best.

So don't be so catty, OP. There are also plenty of poorfags who can't afford more complex costumes either.

You're not 'wrong'. Hating lazy cosplays doesn't make you a cunt. But you ARE giving yourself unnecessary feelings of frustration, which is useless, which in my eyes makes you emotionally inferior. Put that energy into actually becoming a better cosplayer and stop caring about what other people do so much.

Not everybody has the time/money/level of caring to put together a "real" costume. I did simple/closet cosplays for a few years when I was just overwhelmed with other things and putting my money into things like saving for a new car & apartment. However I still wanted to see my con friends and I still wanted to cosplay, so I had a lot of fun just putting together simple costumes and still being recognized for it and being part of the con scene.

Even now that my schedule is leveled out and I make more money, I don't feel like putting in hours and hours of time into a cosplay like my friends do :/ I put it to other things like travel and fashion and games.

Basically stop being pissy that some people aren't at the same level of caring & skill as you are.

There is a regular at our cons who is a lazy cosplayer (Just buys costumes, doesnt even buy wigs or anything) but he seems to think he is the shit because he has his own cosplayer page on facebook and thinks he's on par with the amazing cosplayers who win the cosplay competitions and put months of hard work into their costumes.

I want to punch that guy in the face.

Sort of along the same lines...a coworker scoffed at me when I said that if I were to cosplay I'd probably commission somebody to do it for me(I can't sew worth crap). Then she pushed off her entire costume off onto another coworker. What. And she's not even paying her.

a lot goes on at cons other than serious cosplay. so, if it helps, try to separate costumed con goers into two categories: serious caring artistic cosplayers + and people who love the con experience and just want a chance to get in a silly costume to make the day more fun.

I respect and admire everyone here on the boards and at the cons who spend time in their craft, it's half the reason I go anime conventions, but I'm not able / interested to do It myself. I just throw on a gizmonics jumpsuit, I'm not trying to join your leagues. It's just to have some fun.

I get why it's frustrating for you guys who work so hard to see someone in a store bought Mario costume gettin love at a con, but just try to be proud of your own stuff.

/speech, see you @ youmacon

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 5 14:36:09 2013 No.7134237 >>7134207 That sucks. I was lucky that I started cosplaying when I was a kid (13), so everybody told me how great I looked even though I couldn't sew for shit at first.

I can't be any more upset with them than the men who have the HILARIOUS idea to go as an unshaven Chi/Misty/Faye Valentine etc. etc.

A beginner can be a beginner, but someone of low to moderate skill shouldn't be content with a lame joke costume that's been done a million times already.

I can draw a stick figure humping a cat and call it art. And I would be right. You can be irritated all day long, but at the end of the day, it's not up to you whether it qualifies as art. The same principle applies to cosplay. I can throw a Deadpool mask on while I wear a bikini, say it's a cosplay, and be right.

That's life.
