actually I've done this before because my friends wanted a full group for a shoot but they were missing one person so I volunteered.

I did do some basic research by reading wikis and watching videos to get a grasp of poses and on the day friends filled me in on some information.

If it were to a con I probably wouldn't have joined because I'd imagine people would come up to you and talk to you because your'e dressed as that character. Which is awkward if you know close to nothing about the character.

I really don't see the point so yes, they're doing it for attention (but aren't we all to a degree). I wouldn't spend $50-$400 and hours of time making a costume I only thought looked cool or I knew would get me some attention. It just seems dumb to cosplay something without being a fan of the character or source of the character yourself.

I cosplayed a Bleach character I didn't know to do a couples cosplay with my boyfriend
I would cosplay something I didn't know, but only if I really loved the design or it was for a group AND the media was too long or I just had no interest in it. I don't really see the point in cosplaying something like Madoka or Frozen without watching it because they aren't even that long.

[Anonymous No.7554609]

I would never say like "Oh, you can't dress-up as the character if you've never watched the movie or show/played the game/read the comics." If you just think the costume looks cool, that's fine.

But you really should research the character. Look up the wiki for whatever series it's from (every series of anything seems to have its own wiki now), and read about the character.

I guess basically what I'm saying, is that a cosplayer should be willing to put in the absolute minimum of effort and read up on their character.

[Anonymous No.7554622]

never. usually I start a show because I like a character's design, and cosplay it later.

I'll marathon the series as I'm making the cosplay, or if it has subs, in my free time as the cosplay is in progress.

so, by the time my cosplay is done I have full knowledge of the series.

but most of the time I cosplay because of my extreme love for the series, and to show appreciation.

I've done it a couple times for friends who asked me to join their groups. I had a couple people want to talk to me about the series, but they were pretty cool after I explained that I was just doing the design to complete a friend's group.

That being said, I genuinely don't care too much if other people want to cosplay something they don't know anything about just because they like the design. I probably wouldn't do it personally except for when friends ask me to, but who am I to say how someone else spends their time and money?

I have a handful of characters I'd like to cosplay as but just can't get into the source material, so I don't bother.

But on the other hand, there are characters I've seen and fell in love with, and by deciding to cosplay them, have also dedicated myself to learning about them and the series and trying to play the games/watch the shows where possible. Characters from games/shows I had never been interested in/known about prior.

You should at least know about the character and where the character comes from. You need to be vaguely familiar with the source material. If you've never heard of the character, other than being dragged into a group or being a paid booth babe, I dunno why you'd even pick the character--they might not even be relevant and you'd look awful dumb dressed up as them.

Possibly, or they might just like a character and the design but have no time to get into the series. That said...

It does matter a little though, because if you're gonna dress up as a character it should be one you at least somewhat know. You might not act in character but people will see you as that character.

>Do you really need to know absolutely everything about the character you are portraying?
Not necessarily, but just basic info is good, in case anyone wants to strike up a conversation with you.

Here's what I don't understand about the hate people get for not knowing/being a fan of the source material.

>Actors
Series based off of a comic
Many of these individuals either are unaware of the source material and put their own spin or use cliff notes of what's happened just to give them a general idea of what's going on. I bet you a good amount of money that Robert Downey Jr knows even less than any sort of faker yet no one gives two shits about his lack of knowledge and trivia yet he's one of the end all be all representations of Iron Man out there according to to casual and hardcore people alike.

>Official costume models
Many times are hired based off of their looks. They know nothing either and outside of booth babe hate people don't care

>Comic Book writers
Even these guys don't know their series as well as the super fanboys as they are guilty of continuity errors, characterizations and are forced to retcon events based off of their mistakes and they're WRITING THE DAMN STORY.

So let me get this straight. If the actors, official models and EVEN THE WRITERS don't know as much trivia as the fanboys then why the hell do we expect the cosplayers to do the same?

what a gross generalization

most of the time recons or continuity errors are editor mandated for a specific reason (to remove/change a story etc etc). You really miss the point of contitnuity though. It isn't set in concrete. These universes are living breathing any mistakes are just part of that process

I can't think of any glaringly obvious continuity mistakes that harm stories/characters. Most of the time it's 'oh x was off planet and I really wanted to use her in my story I'll just squeeze her in somewhere' idk

feel free to correct me though (unless you're talking Bendis and GotG because that's all going to be cleared up in the original sin tie in!!!111)

> Have you ever cosplayed something you know absolutely nothing about?
Yes, I loved the character design but I couldn't find out who the character was. This was way back though, it was near impossible to find out information about Japanese-only mascots and things.

It's a completely different experience imo. You can't really talk about the character or the series if someone approaches you about it.

>Are Cosplayers dressing up as characters they've never heard of just attention-grubbers?
Sometimes but not all the time. I know a lot of cosplayers who just fell in love with the character's design. Usually the designs are interesting or detailed, so I just view them as costumers who wanted the challenge.

There are people who cosplay as something popular for the attention alone. Not because they like the series or know it, or like the character, or even like the design - simply because the character is sexy and easy and can get them attention. That is an attention-grubber.

>Should it really matter if you've heard of the character you're dressed as?
As I said, it's a different experience. I think you should have some interest in the character or series to get the most out of cosplay so that you can talk with people who recognize you.

>Do you really need to know absolutely everything about the character you are portraying?

All of those people are getting paid.
Cosplaying, or as it used to be I guess, is about projecting your love of something enough to make a hobby of it. Thousands of dollars and work just for the sake of something they enjoy.

I would expect an actor to read / watch up / be informed at the very least but they're being paid for their ability, looks, etc moreso than love of the source most likely. Same for booth babes; you might as well ask a model what sweatshop their clothes were produced in. Writers are an entirely different can of worms. Still, it's a job.

It's probably a little cynical to say but no I don't hold people with financial gain in it to the same standard of the average congoer with that goal in mind.

How hard is it to just try something out? If you like the look of something enough, maybe you'd like the rest too? It's your time, your dosh and whatever but don't expect other fans to not expect some actual connection with you / be upset when it backfires.

"Quizzers" a shit though, make no mistake.

I think differently. If you're GETTING PAID you should be at least doing basic research. If someone paid me to make costumes I would damn well do a better job.
It's like commissioning. If it's for me, who cares about frayed seams? No one is going to see them. If it's a commission or resale? Cover that shit up, make sure the customer gets a quality product inside and out.
I cringe whenever I hear about actors who DON'T read the source material. And I respect those who are really in tune with it. I suspect if there were more female actors not reading the source, they would get far more lashback than the male actors who are obviously not reading sources.

I'm talking about legitimate author mistakes or times when fans will call them out for details they don't remember poor example but there was a panel on WoW and a fan was asking about the storyline continuity toward the writers and they essentially just shrugged their shoulders. Stuff like Dio's coffin returning in Part 3 of Jojo or George Lucas making errors in his relaunch of Star Wars that he wants to sweep under the rug.

I think the question I'm trying to ask is that why should fans expect cosplayers to know every little bit of trivia in the stories they love when the people actually responsible for the stories and ergo should be the most knowledgeable can't meet those same standards?

You need to know about the audition process, I think. The actors may not be going in knowing who they are auditioning for. If they do, they are given a week at most and usually do things such as read the Wikipedia since they don't have time to read the sources. Therefore they are hired for their own portrayal. A lot of actors will not read the source material in fear of changing their portrayal and altering why they were hired.

because they aren't being paid. It's a fan hobby, you're expected to be a fan. They can look perfect, but you can't talk to them about the series, you can't talk to them about the character. The photos might be a nice piece of -art- but it is missing the point of the hobby.

I usually only go for characters I like and/or love the design of. If I want to cosplay them based on design, I'll then go and find what they're from and read/watch/play it before I start sewing. If I don't like the character, I just dont enjoy making the costume

[Anonymous No.7555911]

I'm usually pretty indifferent about it - if it makes you happy, cosplay it no matter where it's from! It's logical and I can't really affect people's choices, so I don't sweat about it. But sometimes it makes me furious to see people who I know not to watch/play/read the thing they're cosplaying from having plans for some series I really like. Some people get very emotional over fiction and it has shaped their way of thinking. It feels offensive to see someone "pretending" to be a fan but know that they sure as hell haven't felt the same way about it as you did.

It's a stupid, over-emotional reason, but it's why I refrain from cosplaying characters I know jack shit of. I would die from shame if a true fan of the franchise came to talk to me about it and I could just repeat things I've seen in wikis and heard from my friends.

I have various problems with people who don't know the source material. The main issue is the pure idea of drifting cosplay from its original roots to just a "LEL I RLY LIKE THIS DESIGN LOOK AT ME" attention whoring contest is wrong. I'm sorry, cosplay should be about celebrating your love for a series/character and crafting skills, not fishing for facebook likes. Usually the lack of character knowledge and interest even shows on the suit, it's a lot more rushed and missing a million details or has fucked up proportions.

One thing that really presses my ass is how popular cosplayers start making money off of these characters they don't even know and cosplay because "they just like the design, tee hee".

As far as knowing nothing at all and just being an attention whore, it seems weird to me. Why can't this person get enough attention cosplaying things they like? You'd have to like at least a few geeky things to even want to go to a con, right? Virtually everything has at least one sexy character, anyway.
