I have a con coming up, I wanna do a brony cosplay. I have most of it planned out, a fedora, neckbeard, shirt with cringeworthy brony shit. Do you have suggestions for what else I could do? Also, do you think this would be good to make a neckbeard out of? And how should I go about doing it? I saw long beard tutorials on youtube, but would making a neckbeard be the same?

Pro tip(s):

>Don't shower between now and the con.
>Wash your face with fried chicken.
>You can make a good neckbeard with shaved pubes. Try yo make sure it's a patchy neckbeard.
>Run butter through your hair to give it that greasy look.

You gotta exaggerate everything if you want this to be a successful parody. If you try to look like a neckbeard you'll just look like a neckbeard and no one will get the joke. I'm saying don't go literal. Go big or go home. Make the fedora out of pony toys from mcdonalds or some shit. Have a really fake tumblr esk shirt on that is blatantly obvious you aren't being serious.

I hate bronies, I cannot tolerate them.
But I will help you, for I am a forgiving mans man.
Horsemask, paint to favorite horse.
Suite, have black suit and inner colors match pony, have a small metallic or plastic(go all out not some cheap plastic shit) emblem above left your left manbreast. No tail, all work you put into it will be in vain if you put gross tail.
This way you won't need to face people who look down on you OR shave!

Speaking seriously, you're going to need something that will make it clear you're not one of them. No one's going to know it's cosplay unless you have some type or prop(s).
I recommend something like a sign that says *TIPS FEDORA* or something that will show that it's only a joke.

If you really want to go the extra mile incorporate spaghetti somewhere into your costume. Ringing the fedora might be nice, and if you made a neckbeard out of pasta you'd be my personal hero.

For the t-shirt I'd recommend something referencing the #SaveDerpy campaign. It's a now two years outdated campaign to restore the original voice acting for a character on the show that referenced the brony fandom. Could also do something "protesting" Twilight Sparkle getting wings.

This just sounds tacky as shit to be honest. Why not put efforts into an actual cosplay rather than showing you care way too much what another group of people too.

What if OP enjoys this as much as she would any other cosplay, though? I know that reading through this thread has been amusing as fuck for me. She probably doesn't give a fuck what actual brony neckbeards think and neither should she.
And why would an obvious parody of shitty fans give decent fans a bad rep? The neckbeards did that already, injecting some humour into the whole thing isn't going to hurt anyone.

>> No.7550193

>She probably doesn't give a fuck what actual brony neckbeards think.

It fuels their idea that they're persecuted and continues their autistic crusade for equality as if they're somehow level with Gay and Trans people.

The best way to deal with those people is too ignore them, not do shit like this. They will honestly believe this is their version of blackface.

And it would still, all the while, damage the already broken reputation of the fanbase even further. It's just a mess from all sides. Honest fans would still have to deal with "oh, you like THAT show, huh? Are you one of... them?" because of the awful fans. The awful fans would, as this anon stated, feel like they're a victim of an injustice for being "misrepresented", which would give more fuel to the people who hate them more to bitch about so they can hate ALL fans.

I've been on 4chan for years and I still don't get exactly what it means. Spaghetti is obscure for an internet meme. If she was wearing a forever alone face or some shit people would get it. If hot topic hasn't appropriated it on a shirt its not big enough to parody yet.

Its also generally frowned upon to base an entire costume on a stereotype.
