I don't mind them too much. I think they can be cute sometimes, and are easily avoidable. I don't think a lack of humour is a reason to hate someone. What I DON'T like, however, is people who think they are the one perfect cosplayer for XYZ character.

They are young so I really can't blame them for being ignorant. Everyone wants to be popular and talked about and adored when they are 17. You think that is all there is to life cause that's all you've seen of it so far.

I have a friend who has one too, and his cosplay is good, honestly. He actually looks like the character with very little makeup.
But he always does the same face in every gif, overuses one or two character tropes, and goes off on out-of-character tangents.
It's painful.

It's like, he's not even that huge. He's at 175. He's just gotten a gut. But he's built muscle in his upper body from work and really doesn't have much fat on his legs. If he cuts out the fast food, and switched it to something healthier. He'd be fine.

If anything, I'm going to just switch up my cooking a bit so there's less stuff like pasta and more whole grains instead of stuff like white bread. It'd probably help me out a bit too since I am a bit overweight, but it's consistently the same weight for around the past 10 years. So if I just switch it to something healthier, my weight should drop naturally without going on a potential failing diet.

On the plus side, he's talking about getting us a membership to Planet Fitness. So hey, I get gym membership for me.

This. I sometimes wear wigs out, and have people not even realize I'm wearing one. My natural hair is ridiculously thin.

I mean, how many woman these days wear extensions? They're perfectly accepted in society these days, so a wig shouldn't be all that different.

The nice part is, I can drop down $30 on a nice synthetic wig that if I take care of it, can last me a long time. Or drop down $200 to get enough extensions to get my hair looking decent.

I am an avid (as well as vocal) feminist and supporter of SJW stuff, but goddamn EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I see it in fandom related shit they just misconstrue what real groups are trying to do then use bulling and pressure tactics to get everyone to believe them. oh my god it's so fucking awful and the reason why I will never associate myself with a fandom again.
and I really do believe that that some of these fandom kids (because every time I see this shit it's done by someone 16 years old or less) aren't really trans or genderqueer, but just that they've been bullied by that fandom culture to think they are, or maybe want to be to avoid the intense shaming/just so they can find a place to fit in. I do believe that there are lots of people on tumblr or in fandoms who are LGBTQ*IA, but I also find it kind of weird that I've never encountered the extent of this bullshit within my college either, even with our cosplay club being full of homestucks and the LGBTQIA club being full of fandom people.

And the worst thing is these kids only rely on each other to get information, they have never once gone outside of tumblr.com or even their goddam cis middle class straight neighborhood to see a different perspective, or even ask how a group may feel about an issue.

Where do you get your wigs, anon? I'm very very close to just wearing wigs daily. But even with the nice synthetic wigs I have, I'm always worried someone will notice that nasty shine in the sunlight and get that I'm wearing a wig.

I think the stigma is that people start to wonder what's wrong with your own hair, like they assume you either don't have any or your real hair sucks, which both cases can be true and not necessarily bad, but they're viewed as bad anyway, I guess.

Specifically about feminism I think they've pushed too far on the pendulum to what used to be what feminists fought against. Anything sexual and obviously objectifying is seen as "empowering" and if you question it you're not a feminist and you're misogynist. Even if you question feminists who regularly consume "women are inferior to men" blatantly misogynist messages in porn you're attacked for not letting women make choices or being a kink shamer (don't get me started on how dumb "vanilla privilege" is). Not all women's choices are good and I shouldn't be attacked or have my feminist card taken away from me for saying that. Oversexualizing things isn't always good. I haven't seen KLK but I saw a post about it saying it's not just fanservice but an empowering feminist anime about puberty but I just don't buy it. I think a lot of tumblr feminists are just consuming mainstream shit even if it's misogynist and trying to spin it around to fit a feminist agenda. Fuck all of them. Yes, I mad.

>Anything sexual and obviously objectifying is seen as "empowering" and if you question it you're not a feminist and you're misogynist.
IAWTC because I had dumb ideas about empowerment when I was a teen, then I got out in the world and met enough genuinely nasty men to understand what the "prudish" women were going on about. A lot of the people with this idea aren't even adults yet, let them deal with low class men for a decade and see how their opinions change. Sheltered kids don't know shit.

I can't stand all the shitty cosplays that get their dicks sucked all over tumblr just because they're a "poc".
I feel racist for thinking they're shitty and that maybe I'm missing something as to why they have 15000 notes, but then I see the unfinished seams and lack of wigs and think "oh it's just tumblr"

"Feminism is not necessarily just do-me feminism, anon. Many suffragettes detested young flappers precisely because they dumbed down the concept of women's rights and made it into "I wanna be naked without being called a slut! :D" instead of tackling actual problems, many of which weren't tackled to this day because it's easier to understand that all women want is to dress like skanks and look pretty and that that = reeeeeeel feminism"

That's...why I am afraid.
I'm a POC and always afraid that if I were to cosplay something like Dangan Ronpa (just some thing I liked and then this huge fandom blew up for it) then most people will just give me token notes rather than because they think I did a good job or whatever.

I had that happen with a lolita post earlier today.
It was a black girl in several coords. Nothing shitty, but nothing new or amazing either.
But it had a ton more notes than any other (non famous) lolita post I've seen, and all the comments were "It's so nice to see a black girl in lolita!!" "Oh girl you're so beautiful!!" "Like a real princess, wow!!"

My qualm with Tumblr is this whole mindset that you're beautiful because you're POC/fat/queer, not that you're beautiful while POC/fat/queer.
I understand fighting oppression but giving someone special treatment isn't any less racist than treating them like shit. It's just a more-loving version of it.

WTF is this even addressing? I never said feminism was "just" anything. I'm saying anon indicating that this has anything to do with "tumblr feminism" would suggest they have no idea what they're talking about. Third wave sex-positivity predates the internet. People who disagree with judgmental Gloria Steinem bullshit do not have a lesser understanding of "real feminism~" Every fucking flavor of feminist thinks their feminism is the "real" one.

>tfw black but it doesn't show up in photos

sometimes I wish I was darker just so I can get reblogs like this, but then I realized "nah, I don't want to end up like these people"

does anyone remember this girl?
she left lolita to play LOL all the time.

it was painful watching that tumblr fame go to her head. 20k notes for her wearing the most basic coord ever (even more basic than this) and one of the photos in the photoset was sideways.

I followed her because her blog was interesting, then unfollowed her because she'd respond to every ask with an attentionwhoring of herself, put up this "I'm trying way to hard to be cute" persona, always BEGGED for attention from her followers, still does, unfollowed.

and I've seen other black lolitas get attention for this as well, and have let it go to their head.
for example, the girl that was the "token black girl" for GLWs. her FB is just fishing for compliments, then when her annoying personality is brought up on /cgl/ she uses that to fish for attention even more.

Have you actually watched klk like, the actual anime does have underlining morals and a theme, not just girls with their tits out, not going to deny that yeah that is a huge part of it but there is more to it then that. There are even parts where Satsuki shows her standings on the opinions of showing off her body. Of course everyone is going to have different opinions on feminism, there is no 'right' feminism, In my honest opinion sex is sex it has ALWAYS been a major part of our society since the dawn of humans. it may of been covered up and overly romanticized but it's been there. It will never go away no matter what you do, we just have to find a way to make it even on 'both ends' if you will. It's honestly a strange concept just the whole thing just how we truly aren't equal in any sense of the matter and it's just weird and not going to sadly change for a long time no matter how hard we push the envelope but it is slowly forming and shaping and we have yet to know if it's going to plummet down into a ball of monstrosity or blossom and move on from our obviously extremely flawed ways

what makes "sjws" so bad is most of them are doing it to try to fit in, but it just makes everyone else hate them.

I found this post:
" i wanna start making bentos for myself to take to school again, but now that i’m more aware of cultural appropriation et al idk how to go about doing that in a culturally sensitive/non appropriative way."
and when I told the girl to just make bentos she cussed me out and said "omg, ur not japanese, I don't care for ur opinion loser"
then I told her to never eat anything, ever, because if she consumes a piece of non-american food a foriegner will die of cancer.

THIS

My first con, I cosplayed Mello from Death Note (this was 2008, by the way). I was with two friends who were obsessed with it before it got popular, like all time favorite thing in the world level obsessed, but then they went all typical /a/ and the minute it got a fanbase decided they suddenly hated it. They spent the entire time bitching about how overrated and pretentious it was when literally the month prior they were literally saying they were the biggest fans of the series in the world and would go out of their way to say they were more dedicated to it than I was.

Nigga, I don't care what anyone says, that's still one of my favorite manga, though I still will never forgive the anime for raping the second arc. I don't care if it means I have "shit taste" I refuse to stop loving something just because Hot Topic unfortunately got their hands on it.

To be honest, I'm actually not 100% sure myself, and I only heard about it for a week or so after it popped up thank god.

And then people hated that emoji or something.
I heard a couple thing first was of some "tumblur famoose" people using it to trick people into thinking they cute, nice people and having people defend them whenever someone was mean. Other thing was old creepers using the face to make them seem like a teen girl online, then befriend actual girls and then try to ask for nudes.

this sounds really underage or straight edge fag

because as long as they're not acting in an inappropriate manner, who does it hurt if they're drinking and walking around or drinking and listening to panels. they usually can't smoke indoors, but that's their habit and problem.

idk it seems really selfish of you to delegate how others should have fun or who is sad when it's completely socially acceptable for adults to drink at social events such as conventions, why should it be different just because it's a nerdy convention? it just perpetuates the same ideas that nerdy people reject social norms and thus can't participate with other adults.
it's an arbitrary line you drew that actually hurts the con goers experience instead of helping it. cons aren't serious business it's for fun. (unless it is work for you and that is your problem not everyone else's)

still falling down stupid drunks/stoners are unacceptable in all circles even in the party scene. as long as you're dignified in your drinking it shouldn't be a problem.

Tumblr tards are some of the most hilariously gullible people ever. I remember there being a big long post about how Marco in Attack on Titan is really still alive and a bad guy, largely because of a gif that even the author said was fake. People still buy into it and there are so many other similar things that make my head roll.

There's also other things that show they just jump to conclusions because they want something to be a certain way. Example: I saw someone ranting on about Steven Universe being great at "showcasing POCs in a cartoon!" Even though the character they're referring to isn't black, they're just purple. By that logic, the show Doug is fucking groudbreaking because of Skeeter.

Oh gosh that's kind of ridiculous, I rode that people mover at least 5 times a day and had no problems. I thought that it was actually kind of fun! The only shitty part was that it was extremely crowded almost all the time.

Yeah, I didn't see what was so bad about the People Mover. I've always loved our pathetic excuse for mass transit!

I think her friends ditched her, she got lonely and wanted to hang out with me. That and she might have been coming on to me, especially considering she kept trying to cuddle with me at some points.

But yeah the People Mover was nice. It just needed to go the other way too, even though that provided a great excuse to go to Five Guys in Greektown.

And it also allowed me to keep shouting that Youmacon is celebrating Japanese culture by having an interactive experience in Japanese Mass Transit.

different anon but my favorite part about going on the people mover during youmacon last year was this one bum i encountered at least twice.

He would get on, ask people for 75 cents, and then ask all the people who would come off from other trains, walk around and ask more people, pay for another token and then ask again.

75 fucking cents too, you know no one would give him exact change so some people would hand him a buck or whatever they had on them.

he was a fucking genius.

Anyways, back on topic: it seems like every convention I go to, there's at least one parent who basically comes in, complains about everything and/or expects free admission for escorting their child.

There was a five guys in Greektown?! I'm not a Detroit native (though I must say the downtown is actually pretty nice, I didn't feel in danger whatsoever.) so I had no idea where anything was. Goddamn though, five guys is so good.

>>7282376
Those bums made so much money that weekend. Though at one point, we had a homeless guy on there that was in a wheel chair and missing both of his legs. I felt pretty bad for him.

Back on topic, sometimes my gears get grinded by the people I'm hanging out with at a con. Like, they want to go to the con around 11am/12pm, which is fine, but then they want to retire around 8pm. To me, the con's nightlife is the best part of it! Even if it's just sitting at a bar and talking, that's way better than sitting up in our hotel room watching TV.

Yup, one right next to a Coldstone. Those two made me feel so fucking fat last year. And the People Mover went right by both of them. They're inside part of Greektown Casino, so for next time: get off on the Greektown stop. And if you're willing to leave the con for a bit, I highly recommend Louie's Ham and Corned Beef for breakfast. Their Corned Beef Hash is amazing.

seconded!

I see this happen all the time with groups who cosplay together and then do panels together.

Often their panels are nothing more than a last minute circle jerk with no clear direction or intention from the start. Hell most are just Q&A's for the people in cosplay sitting at the front.

Then their egos make them very unapproachable at cons and their the type to get very pissy with you if your cosplaying their character or the character of one of their friends in the group.

As for celebrity status their was one group running panels who also were running a youtube based show in between their conventions. My only issue was they kept talking about their youtube show when at one point there hadn't been a new episode in over a year! yet they still acted like yep we haven't given up on that project

This. I don't understand why anyone would pay all that money for a hotel room, transportation, and a badge and not stay at the con for as long as possible. You can watch stupid TV shows any other day of the fucking week asshole. The same logic applies to watching anime during the con, even at the con showings: watch that shit at home.

It just blows my mind.

This so much. The first 'big' con I ever went to is Boston Comic Con. I paid my way and a friend wanted to carpool to save money, but then refused to wake up until 11 even though we lived three hours away. Then they came to get us to leave at like 9. We were there for maybe six hours, tops, and they spent two hours getting food in the middle! (I refused, saying I'd rather stick around and I'd find my own way to eat).

It was their second time there so I guess it wasn't as big a deal to them, but even when I go to the convention in my hometown that I've been going to for years I try to spend most of my time, I dunno, at the convention I paid to go to?

Same goes for people that leave late, make you spend an hour or two with them while they put on their costume/makeup at the con, then change out of said costume less than thirty minutes later.

High five for loving unloved manga/anime? My first manga was Bleach and honestly it's still my favorite (yeah, shoot me), even though there are certainly better ones in terms of plot, etc. I rarely even bring it up now though, and I'm still nervous about cosplaying any of the characters because of the general hatred towards the series and fandom. At least the witch burning for stuff like Death Note, Bleach, etc has died down since new fandoms like Homestuck have taken over.

Yeah, I don't live in the con state, but my main con friends do, so it gets really annoying when I have to leave early, or show up late and miss hanging out with friends that I'll see three times a year max because everyone else wants to sleep in. Their excuse is always, "Well, there's nothing happening, so there's no point in showing up early!"
Piss off, I'd rather be with my friends doing nothing than sitting in the hotel until one PM doing nothing. I definitely treat cons like vacations, too, so I just don't get why they would want to sleep it away. There's only ever one car, so it's not like I can just up and leave without them, either.

To be honest, I actually do this. I usually get to the con around 10-11 am, stay until 6-10 pm (depending on how late the panels I want to go to run), and often will go back to my hotel room for 2-3 hours somewhere in there. In my defense, it's a pretty tiny convention without much to do, and 70% of the attendants are underaged (usually tumblr weeaboos), so there really isn't a nightlife. I go with a friend though, so we just hang out and relax.

I'm also finishing up with two degrees so between work and school I fear I may not have time for me?

The main problem with feminism, in my opinion, is that every woman claiming to be a "feminist" has a different agenda, different views, different claims etc.

It's just not unified at all, as a movement, even worse than Islam as a religion, and that makes it hard for me to sympathise with the concept. For each one feminist I'd agree with, I meet five I fucking hate for their views.

I know how much work goes into this shit but why is it, every year, without fail, ACen announces their guests a month or two before the con(yes i am aware of contracts..but gg). This last year was horrible. 2 weeks before the con itself it was "Oh hey sorry guys, this was all we got!". I never saw any of the guests. At all. Friends had stuff they wanted signed. We all tried asking but got the wrong times/places. It was just very disappointing.

I very casually watch anime, have studied Japanese along with three other languages in school because I really love foreign languages, and I would like to visit Japan someday because I love to travel, but one of my closest friends' SO calls me his "weeaboo" friend and laughs at what a helps weeby nerd I am. I tried telling him he was wrong and eventually just to shut the fuck up, and now I rarely interact with that friend if he's going to be around. Just. Ugh.

It's not about spitting on the people at the bottom. It's just annoying as hell.

For the people who think cosplay is all about fame and competition, they probably got it from that stupid Heroes of Cosplay show. And that's annoying to me because it's an inaccurate look at cosplay and breeds people like that.
For the ones who think you have to cosplay at a convention, I certainly never believed that. If you look at convention pictures, you'll see the regular-dressed fans in the background. And logically, what kind of con limits itself to cosplayers only?
It's just stupid.

I don't dislike all newbies, just the ones who don't think or do research.

I'm so pissed off. My taobao package came in today but the mail person did NOT deliver it to my building. I was home all day and nothing. Then I go to the little one room mail building and find a missed delivery slip. Who the fuck delivers a package that requires a signature to a building where no one lives? I've missed delivery before and they've always put slips on the door to my building, not inside my mailbox in the mail building. The slip didn't have a "pick up at this time" note to go get it at the post office either so they're just going to deliver it to the mail building again.

I have a several:

-Loose threads or crooked stitching. It just looks lazy and sloppy, like you can't even control a goddamn sewing machine.

-Not blending in prosthetics, or doing a terrible job blending them in. I facepalm every time I see a cosplayer who hasn't blended in their elf ears or other pieces into their skin. It looks like shit and they should be slapped.

-When a costume requires some kind of weaving or a drawstring, I would really love to scold the people who decide to sew it on TOP of the fabric rather than inside it. Bonus points for loose threads.

-Shitty fabric painting. The type that looks like a translucent, smeared mess. (Looking at you, Homestucks).

-Bandwagoners. Cosplaying ONLY flavor of the month things like Rise of the Guardians, Avengers, Homestuck, and the like. I always assume they're just filthy casuals seeking attention and reblogs.

-Quilting cotton for clothing. Bonus points if it is patterned when there isn't supposed to be a pattern.

I'll be back for more later.

I work in a fabric store, and I can tell you that most of the time, unless you make a special order, whatever is in the store is generally all that store has at the moment. A lot of the times, the restock that a store receives is a random mix of notions like pins, zippers and thread.

If you need trim that badly, ask if you can make a special order instead of waiting around and acting like the employees should be able to summon what you need from out of their ass.

And if you really need it, call other stores, find out the SKU number of the item and ask if they have it. Better yet, just order it online.

There's this group of people in my circle of friends that I just can not stand.
They never spend any time on their cosplay and thus end up looking shitty. They're constantly crying about how they're going to quit cosplay because they're sooo ugly and bad at it but a minute after post bad make-up tests and a shitload of new cosplay plans. They constantly diss other cosplayers but when someone says something negative that can be related to them it's the whole houlier than thee act like how dare you say something bad about anyone else what a sad excuse of a human you are. They also have the need to do everything new and popular first which explains why their costumes are always rushed and shitty. Because if you're the first to cosplay from it then you're automatically the best amirite??
They also have the hugest egos I have ever seen, you can not complain about anything without one of them throwing a huge bitchfest how you're obviously talking about them!!1! I could say I dislike cheese and they'd somehow get offended.

Or when they jokingly say they should probably cosplay the least attractive character in the series so they'd at least look the part and you feel bad for thinking how well they'd actually fit for the said character and want them to cosplay it

Mine is when people insist that you have to make your cosplays in order to cosplay.

Not everyone really cares that much to learn to sew and get a sewing machine, etc. Now, that doesnt mean it's not easy to learn, in fact there are plenty of helpful guides out there, but some of us are just fine with buying.

However, that doesnt mean you can just wear a cosplay right out of the box. Even if it looks great, there is always something to be done, mostly tailoring it to fit you. One of my coats needed buttons sewed on and another I completely replaced the hat because the one it came with looked terrible.

Same thing goes with wigs. Wigs should always have some sort of styling done to them.

Basically, I dont care if you make your cosplay from scratch or if you bought it an altered it, I just care that you look good in it.

>When people start pushing their sjw beliefs onto you and use heaps of shitty buzzwords whose meaning they don't know to sound more clever
"Don't wear that yukata, that's cultural appropriation!" (Our teacher literally asked us to for a college festival)
"You're just projecting!"
"Stop gender-policing me!"

Cultural appropriation bugs me the most though, because that same slag got a shitty "tribal" tramp stamp instead of going to get a legit one, and is just talking out of her ass as the rest of them.

i havent heard many japanese people become offended at whities or other races for wearing traditional japanese clothing. in fact the ones ive met have embraced it, because it's becoming a dying thing (the majority of current japanese teenagers and young adults dont give many fucks about their heritage.)

I wear basics komon from time to time and old japanese ladies always compliment me and ask how I learned to tie it. A cute little lady even noticed her scarf and my kimono were the same patterned once, we took a photo together, she said she hope to see more people wearing kimono because it's pretty and japanese don't want their traditionnal clothing to die. I know this is just one person, she can't speack for everyone but every single japanese I've ever met while wearing kimono was really enthusiastic about it.

Vintage uchikake yes, but wedding ones are up to 10.000$ without any problem, given that they are made to order and sewn at your measurment. You can also find some great furisode for 150$, but the 4000$ made to order one will be forever way better.

If it were, she doesn't know it because she sure as hell brags about it being a kimono all the time.

She also wears it with an obi (improperly, she doesn't roll the kimono up and just ties the obi in a really ugly looking knot. Sometimes she uses it as a fucking scarf) on cold days. A unchikake wouldn't even have it's own obi.

This. I understood when people were getting up-in-arms about wearing Native American headdress, or even wearing prayer beads.

But... Culture is and always has melded and blended and been a shared experience. If we didn't share our cultural experiences then we wouldn't progress at all.

But try telling a SJW that and watch shit explode.

Yeah, but no one ever specified wedding uchikake. New uchikake are still being made for all formality levels, just at lower quantities due to declining interest and use.
I'm not saying that a $100 piece is going to stand up to a $1000 piece; I'm just saying that a nice $100 piece can be found, new or used.

I don't even understand those, idk. I may be a hypocrite but unless it's blackface or some Mickey Rooney-tier shit I don't consider it cultural appropriation, and even then there's stuff like Yolandi Visser's black panther getup that doesn't really fall into that category. I wouln't even consider the tramp stamp appropriation, just good ol' being an idiot.

>social justice warrior-ing in fandoms

I think you mean in general. SJW and any other form of politics need to stay out of cons, comics, video games and the like. I love how much more progressive and supportive and understanding everyone of LGBT people before social justice and Anita forced their way in to this hobby. Now you can't even have tits without everyone thinking you are a feminist, be gay without everyone thinking you are going to bitch about CIS privilage, be a man with out everyone thinking your just trolling for pussy and rape, you can't say you hate one thing about them or you're a mysogonist homophobe bigot edgy teen /b/ virgin and you can't say you like one thing about them without being called a beta white knight tumblr rat tranny freak virgin.

I liked the days of comics and anime when it was about kicking ass and the only political drama was about spcae aliens wanting to take over the planet with pod people. Now everything Batman does has to be because whatever NBC or FOX say yesterday on the news.

I feel like maybe you don't actually ask them. I have a Zero Suit and Fusion was my favorite. One of my friends has a Zero Suit and the Prime series was her favorite. Another friend with her own Zero Suit enjoyed Super the most. So either you don't actually ask people, or your area is filled with a disproportionate amount of attention whores/bandwagoners.
>wahhh I asked 2 cosplayers and they didn't give me the answer I wanted. all girls are meanie fakers and just want my money! why can't every girl be like my dream cosplay waifu
That being said, Other M will always be the wrong answer to that question.

I'm not the greatest seamstress right now, but when I hear "why are you making that when you can just buy it?" over and over again it just pisses me off. THIS IS HOW YOU LEARN. I have never and will never buy a cosplay when I can learn and try my hardest to make it myself.

I don't really have anything against people buying their cosplays as earlier anon mentioned, as long as you don't enter contests with it or claim that you made it.
However I just started sewing and I remember wanting to make my own Chopper Timeskip helmet (last year) since the plush shit you buy look absolutely horrible and are not the right size.

People kept telling me I should just buy the plush hat and it really pissed me off.
(pic related it's the hat peeps were talking about)
