My fave lines from the article.

>the bulk of Nigri's income comes from selling posters of herself, a practice she pioneered.

Maybe in the west but Japanese cosplayers have been selling roms for years before Jessica was even cosplaying. Also Yaya...

>she also changed the game in terms of timing: Most cosplayers fall in love with a game, work on a costume for six months to a year and then debut it at a convention long after it has seen its media limelight. Nigri starts working on a costume as soon as she hears word of a new game.

...JFC again with this bullshit of her doing things 'first.' People have been cosplaying shit before they have come out for years before Jnig. Used to happen a lot with the jrpgs like Final Fantasy.

>She spends 12-hour days crafting complex costumes

Ha ha...

>Nigri's workspace is off-limits because it's littered with armor and weapons that technically belong to video-game companies; because she's paid for her costumed appearances, her costumes are proprietary materials.

I think it comes down to the fact that she's taking characters that people adore and turning them into something sexual. Pokemon cosplays are the first that come into mind. Also, a majority of cosplays display her cleavage/ass. Girls who are coming into this hobby are going to see shit like that and think it's ok to run around with their chest/ass hanging out. She's not a good role model for people starting out.

In addition to what the others mentioned, her stuff isn't very well made and there's some controversy over weather she makes her own stuff or not.

It depends on where you live and what sort of shit is going on in your life and your family's life.

I know people from affluent upper middle class neighborhoods with parents who got them cushy $15/hr jobs right out of high school who were able to move into their own place right away..

I also know people who did college full time and racked up tons of debt getting some impressive degree who were only able to move out at 27 years old after struggling for years to get a decent job in the field they spent all that time at college to get into.

It would be nice is there was a nice, easy lifepath for everyone where you could be out and comfortably on your own by the time you turn 21, but the fact of the matter is that the world was never so ideal and never will be. If anything it will get worse before it gets better.

What i was pointing out was that young girls (under 18) would think that T&A would be more ok. I mean, granted it still happens without nigri there, but i feel like it happens more because young girls do look up to her as a role model. How many people did "sexy pickachu" after nigri did it? I'm sure we probably had a few before but i really do think there was an explosion of cosplayers after that wanted to be just like her after the fact.

This isn't the 1940's anymore, where you can make a comfortable living working in a grocery store your entire life. You'd honestly be insane to move out and start renting an apartment right out of college with student bills, car payments, insurance, etc.

It makes a lot of sense to stay at home, get more established financially, then go into get a mortgage on a place, instead of renting.

a "full timer" is Trader Joe's lingo for a sort of mini manager who works obscene hours but gets a pretty hefty salary. I worked there full time (but not a full timer) as an hourly crew member and made about 13k a year after 2 years. So it's actually quite the trade up if a few appearances can make you what you would otherwise earn in a year of full time grunt work.

Moving out when you're 18 is a retarded American idea. I'm 20 and still at home. It's damn near impossible to get a well enough paying job right out of high school to move on your own, and people who DO move out at 18 often end up moving back in a year or two later.

And, if you go to school, you're 22 or maybe even older by the time you've finished?

It's pretty unreasonable to expect people to move out at 18.

As someone who does have issues with the way Nigri makes her body the focus of a lot of her cosplays (a gripe I also have with several other cosplays, one of which duct taped me when I called her out on it), I must say this:

You motherfuckers are some mighty catty folks. Damn, is y'all vicious with how you regard Jessica.

With that said, I still think that despite the trend, the craft of cosplay will ultimately be what draws people time and again. You can only make your body the focus of your cosplay for so long before things start to give way, and your skills at the craft become more important than how good you look in the costume. It is my belief that without these skills, people like Nigri will soon be replaced by the next good looking piece of personable eye candy lucky enough to get their break in the biz

I'd say it boils down to

THREE MAIN REASONS why people hate JNig:

a) It is a known fact that she doesn't care literally about anything she ever cosplayed. She's not even a "fake gamer girl" because even those girls occasionally play vidya games for money. Everything about her persona was forged by her ex-boyfriend who suggested that she do it in the first place (and helped her become what she is now).

b) Her costumes are pretty fucking shit in comparison to the actual talented people who've been doing this for years and yet she gets way more attention than all of them combined.

c) Her fans. They post her everywhere and think that she's a goddess or something. Think that she's the best cosplayer in the world because they're the stereotypical MLP watching neckbeard permavirgins and that's the only cosplayer they get to know of from the security of their mom's basement. Not that her female fans are any less obnoxious ('sup Dill). And, the most offensive thing about them & her for me is the fact that they got the audacity to pretend that she is some sort of epitome of attractiveness when in most parts of the world, she's literal nothing.

Beaner anon here, she looks like a busted model from Lowrider magazine and seconding what >>7597728 said. Only reason she got any attention was because she has ties to that retarded Comikaze con with Stan Lee's name on it.

There's another beaner cosplayer named Mariedoll that's a step up from Ivydoomkitty, but she still has that Mexican almost unibrow look.

She's trying to be a singer at the same time that she's trying to eke out cosplay fame; her character choices aren't out of line for someone into nerd/geek shit, but they both try way too hard to show off a body type and facial features that have very limited appeal.

Why are Anons so slow on the uptake when it comes to twitter drama? I was wanting to discuss this at 9AM GMT when it happened but there hasn't been any mention of it at all.

JNIG was streaming her LoL matches and tweeting about it, someone tweets a reply the standard "stop showing your tits, it's unfair on male streamers" or something like that, and she replied all mad like.

Whether or not it was a "hurrdurr I'm just pretending to be retarded" reply or genuine I don't entirely know, but the way she thanks her "fans" for their support makes me think either she was being genuine. This is a shame as JNIG has always seemed to skirt these sort of "controversial" topics, despite literally being the poster-child for a lot of them.

Personally I'm 22 years old that still lives with my parents although i do have a part time job for the first time and planning to continue going to school in the fall to achieve my Bachelors and it'll be my second year studying at a university after graduating from Community College. At the moment my part time pay sucks badly although I do want more hours to work during the summer since I barely get any hours a week. (although it can be helpful during semesters) Even though I could get a part time job at an earlier age but the thing was that since my grandmother passed away when I was almost 20 somebody have to watch my little sister since she was 7 at the time and nobody else could take care of her since my parents work alot and I'm the only person who is able to do so since I go to school nearby. Now that my sister is in her double digits she can take care of herself for a little while as she have a cell phone, etc. and its now its easier for me to both work and go to school. At the moment I'm trying to find places with low rent, but even with the money I'm earning a month (8 bucks an hour & not even minimum wage!) I still can't be able to afford for groceries and I don't even own a car. Even though I have Autism (I know...) I still have to depend for myself to get a new home even though it can be very overwhelming to move out for the first time and dealing with real world stuff.

Personally It depends on the person's background if they move out early or not. There are some people who have parents who gave them independence at an earlier age while there are some parents who rather keep their kids a little longer for some reason. Just because we live with our parents doesn't mean we enjoy the free things as some people would love to be independent but there are things that stands in the way. To those who had to depend on themselves to pay for everything then big kudos!

>> No.7601109

>>7601101
Another thing is for the people who live independently at an earlier age: Just don't be douches towards the people who had it easily since even though there are some people who takes advantages of being privileged but there are some people who are trying the best as they can to be independently and there are some people who need more time to adjust.

I moved out at 17 to go to university in another city and never looked back really. The last time I spent any meaningful length of time actually living with my parents was a good 5 years ago. Despite this, they still topped me up for rent and bills all through university - I legit had a card connected to their account. Point is, moving out isn't always a huge declaration of independence just as staying at home doesn't mean you're useless at real life, it's more to do with your relationship with your family, financial circumstances etc

I was officially kicked out of my parents house for good when I was 18 because I came out of the closet. My best friend's parents were kind enough to let me move in with them temporarily while I sought out a job and now I pay $400 a month to live in somebody's bug-ridden basement. I'm going to hopefully get a place with my s/o soon though.

People like Jessica are in a very lucky situation and more power to them I guess. If I could live with my parents at 24 (right now I'm 21 years old) I would in a heartbeat.

It's a shame - my parents are paying thousands and thousands of dollars on my sister to live in her own cozy apartment and go to a nice school. If only I had kept my mouth shut I may have been in the same situation.

JNig is what I call cosplay hot.

Outside of cosplaying she can't compete with actual real models so she uses cosplay as a launching pad to set herself apart from the other models.

What she does that bothers me is that she has no respect for the characters and source material she's cosplaying. She just uses them as an excuse to show off her cleavage to her pleb following.

It's very rarely that she just cosplays a character to celebrate the character and not make the character about herself.

Fucking this. Around when I was 17-18 my various atheist/agnostic friends all started coming out to their parents and invariably got treated like absolute shit. One even got forced to go to a Christian college freshman year. I was like what the fuck is wrong with you? Is it really THAT important to tell them? It's a little different if you're gay I imagine, but that really blew my mind, it's not even a religious conversion, you're not even religious anymore. It's really not a big deal. Heck I have still never told my parents and I am 26, because there is no fucking point. It would just upset them anyway.

Yes, I do agree that it's a little different if you're gay.
I don't really think you can make a blanket statement saying, "You should never make a risky come out while living under your parent's roof." There are situations where people would want to tell their parents. Someone could hype themselves up thinking their parents will accept them, maybe lying to the parents is really tearing them up, maybe the parents are making hints that they already knew. Most of all, if someone already has a boyfriend/girlfriend, that's really fucking hard to hide and feels like shit for everyone involved. Being gay involves actions and interactions, it's not as simple to hide as a controversial opinion. Atheist-Anon, you've hid your lack of religion up until the age of 26. How do you hide a wife?
You could argue "don't get into a relationship until you're somewhere safe", but it's not as easy as that. If you and another kid start getting attracted to each other, it doesn't matter if you actually date. You could get confronted for just how you look at each other. Or even for how you don't look at the opposite gender. How often have we heard the joke, "You don't like that girl? What are you, gay or something?" It isn't too big of a jump to imagine homophobic parents confronting their kid for not making enough of an effort to get into a hetero relationship.

Someone could bank that it's safer to come out than for the parents to find out on their own. Gay-Anon unfortunately didn't have as welcoming parents as she may have hoped.
Gay-Anon even mentioned an S/O that they're close enough with to plan on moving in together. It's not like they came out after ogling their own gender for a month. Calling them an idiot is ridiculous and inconsiderate.

Everyone's situation is different. I'm a full time student and employee, paying 50k a year for school. I can only afford to pay half of my tuition out of pocket while the other half goes into loans.
After I graduate, I'll be moving back home for a year while working two jobs (which are already lined up). Without any rental payments, I should have everything paid off in that year.

Parents are expected to help you through college, which is why every university you ever go to will have "expected family contribution" estimated in your financial need.
Most that disagree haven't ever been to college, got married young, begrudgingly accepted help from their rich parents, have miles of debt, or only have their bachelors. They may have also went to a really shitty college or have some "certificate" pasted onto their wall.

I'll never understand why paying your college tuition three times over (because interest) is more preferable to wiping it out in the beginning.

I think the best thing about the people on this site in general and especially CGL is that they give themselves up as fucking miserable so quickly. No one happy would be so intensely focused on if someone else's life was a failure or not, it's probably why this site is so easy to troll, it's just a bunch of miserable people trying to feel better about themselves.

You people too weak minded to realize that this is really as good as it gets and you won't ever be happier. So you need to sit around and feel superior to someone else because they made different life choices. Just try to hold on to the eventual murder/suicide that your life ends in when you and your SO separate in your late 40s, I'll be there laughing at the headline.

Well sure, but we won't be hurting anyone and frankly I'd never kill myself, Sprite Remix always might come back.

Though there are plenty of people who kill their wife/husband and then themselves. Sometimes they do in the kids too. I actually knew a guy for years on a forum ... one day he took the kids camping and blew them away and them himself. How trapped and alone he must have felt. People rush out of home like they're finally free, but it's just a series of cages.

People who act like their stupid little jobs and apartments make them superior are probably the saddest of all of us. Because after all that "work" they're left just as unfulfilled as the rest of us. Anyone who was really happy wouldn't sit around posting on an Internet forum about how happy and fulfilled they are.

I really wish we could stop using the word "trolling". Someone saying Yaya looks like a thick piece of poorly aged beef isn't "trolling". You can't troll someone who isn't even present in the thread. If I went to Yaya's facebook page and wrote that, then yes, it would be Trolling. The inconsistency of the enforcement and the appearant liberty to interpret that rule as janitors and mods see fit is ridiculous. So we can post pictures of horrible cosplayers and make fun of them, and call certain well-known cosplayers disgusting whores, but NOT certain ones. /cgl/ threads have always been mostly tabloid style shit. The rule obviously isn't defined well and is clearly ignored when it causes the mod/janitor to have a giggle.
