Sort of on the same token but the instant you offer any sort of gentle criticism, "This looks good but might look better if you did this", people immediately think you're being an asshole.

Bridal [dull] satins with a low sheen aren't offensive. They can look quite lovely if the person can sew.

A costume full of super shiny costume-tier satin is an entirely different beast though.

trans is a real thing in about 10% of cases where people call themselves trans.

they/their/them/"gender neutral" is not fucking real. you have a penis or a vagina. it doesn't mean you have a standard of masculinity or femininity to live up to. You can dress and act however the fuck you want, just don't reject your womanhood and call yourself a feminist.

99% of people who call themselves "gender neutral" are girls anyway. It's like being bi-curious in high school.

there's some fucking marceline cosplayer circulating on tumblr where the caption is "one of these cosplayers is a guy" and the one who is supposedly trans is like "actually we're both guys." and everyone is like "MINDBLOWN" when it's really just a bitch with short hair who wants to look like an anime boy when it's convenient.

how anime cons practically aren't about anime anymore. or how the modern anime fan doesn't know about anything pre-2000 when it comes to anime unless it was toonami. it is suffering being a gundam cosplayer, hell i was cosplaying full frontal because the director of gundam unicorn was there and all i got was mostly "OH LOOK ITS ZECHS FROM GUNDAM WING". i fucking hate modern anime fans, especially when the director was so upset nobody was bringing gundam stuff for him to sign.

fuck modern fans, seriously, fuck them. when people refuse to watch anime that is cel animated because "its too old" is like saying you refuse to play anything that older than a PS2 game or watch any movie that was pre-2000. i just want to beat these people and make them watch some macross or some votoms or yamato.

>they/their/them/"gender neutral" is not fucking real. you have a penis or a vagina.
Intersex people exist. Like, yes, you can biologically be in between and in several ways.
You are however confusing gender with sex.
Tumblr is filled with special snowflakes and that's one thing, but androgynity as an identity is real. Some people experience dysphoria that wouldn't go away by transitioning (completely, at least) because they don't feel "right" being at either end of the spectrum. This is a valid and recognized thing and also a subject of clinical and psychological research.
Source: I work with doctors and therapists studying and treating gender issues. One of my closest friends has been suffering from dysphoria since childhood and identifies as neither male nor female.
Like the other anons said, I'm sorry Tumblr trivialized things that are very much real for many people.

Thats because half the fanbase wasn't even born yet to watch those shows or were under the age of 5 when these shows came out.

I can't even talk about my gender issues on Tumblr because they've made it into a joke and almost delegitimized it for actual trans people (and those seriously questioning/suffering from dysphoria). Right now my followers for the most part don't even know what gender I am and have no idea what pronouns I use, although the ones who have met IRL (like at cons) know I'm FAAB (at least I'm pretty sure they do). And if they ever ask I have no idea what to tell them because I'm so deep in the closet and so early in my transition. For a while (between the ages of 18-23, and I'll be 24 in December, so I've been questioning before Tumblr even fucking existed) I subscribed to the idea of being androgynous and using singular they, but realized only Tumblrites and people in genderqueer/nonbinary circles would understand/appreciate that and it's going to take at least a century for the rest of society to catch up to that concept. So I'm being forced to choose between being a failure of a woman who only feels comfortable in men's clothing or risking everything to become a man (who may never become 100% man because FTM SRS sucks at this point in time).

Honestly cosplaying from old stuff is way better. The people you meet who recognize you are more likely to be serious fans rather than dumb kids who only watch what's popular.

Huh, interesting, though somehow not surprising. It may be due to a combination of two things. First, people who were alive back then (when Ranma 1/2 and such reached western audiences) are older than the average con attendee, and thus more likely (but not guaranteed) to be more mature. Second, those who were not yet born, but watched those old Yahoo's anyway, probably went out of their way to search for "classics" in anime, not just whatever is current.

and to all the trans things in this thread.
Tran-sexuality should be classified as a mental disorder and be corrected instead of encouraged. It comes from a misunderstanding of sexes because of the way society treats it. Males have a dick, girls have a vagina and other sexual organs attached. You don't -feel- like one or the other, you just think you feel that way because of whatever random reason you have.
There are reasons someone might want a sex-change, and cross dressing is fine although weird, but you can't -feel- like another gender because the only real differences are physical and arise from those physical differences.

>>Tran-sexuality should be classified as a mental disorder and be corrected instead of encouraged.
It... kinda is? DSM V calls it "gender dysphoria" and you have to legitimately have it in order to gain access to hormones and surgery as far as I know.

Tumblr and other "socially progressive" communities are really warping gender (and sexuality) as we know it. What I love is how these kids think so many people in the world are either trans or queer and that everyone who is cis and/or het should die... Welp, that's a fuckton of people who are gonna die, including many of the people who HELP legitimate trans and queer people. Retards.

As for me, I absolutely realize it is so much more than stereotypes and social mores and shit that makes a woman or a man, but what fills me with so much doubt about being trans is that my reasoning for even questioning my assigned gender is more complicated than simply "man in woman's body." Goddammit, nothing is ever simple for me.

It it doesn't mean you won't look awful or get hell for doing it. People who think that never imagined their favorite character being cosplayed by a 400 grease ball. I still go by the saying that goes "just because you can doesn't mean you should." Cosplay is no different than wearing any other type of clothes, wear what looks flattering and fits your body type.

Disagree. Sure, you get a lot of stupid stuff shouted at you and not many people know what you're cosplaying, but those that do lose their fucking minds over it, and 9/10 times you have a new con friend to catch up with later. At least in my experience. That genuine excitement and camaraderie is so much more rewarding, imo, than cosplaying something more recent or popular and having people go "oh I know that!", snap a pic, and walk away, or not even that because you're the millionth x at the con.

Surely you've read interviews from creators or people trying to become creators stating that their projects featuring minority characters were either changed or rejected. I'm sure it's not like everyone in every industry is actively trying to make more inclusive media, but it's not a stretch to accept that no, it's not easy to just "make it urself!!"

And besides, success in creative industries has a lot to do with who you know, and companies often associate with creators who are established or who are willing to play it safe, so it's not always easy for new creators to get started on a large scale, or even for recognized creators to push more inclusive material past the pitch.

I still only get that as a Gundam cosplayer. I keep thinking that I'll make deeper connections with con-goers because I'm the only cosplayer of a particular character and because they found me, they'll be so overjoyed/impressed/whatever that we'd actually talk more, hang out, become friends. BUT NOPE. Guess I'm delusional.

I want to remember this year's Otakon fondly because in terms of the turnout of Gundam cosplayers it was phenomenal, but a bunch of things bug me, two being the weird paradox that people seemed really happy to see a Harry Ord cosplayer but kinda avoided me at the same time because I was the only Turn A character/because I'm fucking weird/because I'm not a space nazi, and the second being how fucking buttmad I am that people (and I'm talking about Gundam fans here) confused my Mashymre with Garma.

Okay, people are going to flip over Schwarz (I've been Allenby with a Master Asia, both of which are more well-known probably than Schwarz, but I still think that has a way higher recognition rate than Turn A stuff, for example), and I definitely foresee G-Reco having a decent fanbase as it picks up, so you shouldn't worry too much. I'm sorry you haven't had much luck, though, and hope you can make heaps of cosplay friends in the future!

Isn't "genderfluid" just another term for bigender or whatever (in other words, one switches between male and female, butch and femme, etc)?

But yeah, it's really difficult to truly be without a gender--agender, neutrois, whatever you want to call it--as a human being. Kids don't realize several factors that exist that allow the gender binary to have such power: one, the vast majority of clothing is gendered. No, clothes themselves don't have genders, but clothes are made for mens' and womens' bodies (and generally tastes) while there really aren't much options for unisex or gender neutral clothes. The reason for gendered clothing is directly related to the second reason: sexual dimorphism, biology's cruel joke. With all this in mind, how exactly do these agenders intend to pull off a truly genderless look? How exactly would one transition from female (or male) to no gender at all?

From what I've seen on Dumblr, these genderqueer/nonbinary people fail miserably at "smashing the binary hurdeedurr" ESPECIALLY when they go and slap a qualifier like "femme" alongside their agender label. They either are perfectly cis but are incredibly desperate to be special, or for the non-femme ones they may be really confused/uncertain about being transmen so they feel safe with the nonbinary nonsense (like I did for a while). I have encountered very few MAAB NBs so I don't know what their deal is other than they too probably suffer special snowflake syndrome. In the end though, if they are still uncomfortable with switching completely over to what is opposite of their assigned gender, why not just go with androgynous? AT LEAST PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS and it can be done... at least, presentation-wise. I have no idea how one can truly achieve an "androgynous" body though besides either being extremely thin or obese. Oh, and having ambiguous genitalia (or none at all!).

tl;dr: I'm the truscum gender police.

To be fair, some people who make fuck all amazing things know every flaw and fault with their work, and knowing these things can make accepting compliments difficult because of the worries of
"oh shit dont thank me for this piece of shit, its two pieces of foam and hot glue calm down yo ughhhhh."

I think its more self dread of somebody saying something shitty so you defend yourself by blowing off good compliments or joining in on hating your costume with whoever is giving shit.

I don't make the best cosplays around, if I'm lucky 1 in 3 will look pretty good, But Its hard for me to take praise for stuff when I feel I could do so much better than what I made.

I've personally tried to be better about this myself, and if I ever run into somebody pulling this stuff I like to talk to them about whats worried them about the cosplay and try and talk up their work.

It all really plays into self esteem and self image issues I think.

But the people who actually do like top quality stuff and are so full of themselves THEN blow off somebody for trying to fan the flame that is their ego. Bitches like yoyo megatits, although im pretty damned sure she doesnt make all her own shit either.....

>"lol faggot work harder maybe you can buy one too"

If you've ever wanted to see a tall fatman dressed like a karate bugman beat the shit out of a normie, This is all I have to see. I can get if its a really really shitty, but seeing how a bunch of toku fans can make them and make them better than anikis stuff, they don't have room to talk.

I have very little tolerance for people with bought cosplay ripping on people who put forth the effort to make something they enjoy wearing.
its fucking cool you spent a ton of money for a nice outfit, But I'm sure as shit it didnt come with a " Tokusatsu cosplay authority card" that lets you treat people like shit for trying to make something.

I used to enjoy her stuff but now i feel it's just more "hey look at me look at me" and doing anything to get that attention. To be fair this is alot of cosplayers in the community and it's sad. No one's really made to feel like they can say anything anymore. Cosplaying is suppose to be just this magical land of butterflies, rainbows, and hand holding where no one "bullies" you. Like others have mentioned above, no one can say "Well this looks nice but try adding more of this here." You're immediately called out on being a hater. When i saw this pic come through my feed i really wanted to say alot of things but felt like i'd get swarmed with white knights. It just wasn't worth wasting my breath over.

And you gotta love how most of them are scrawny teenagers using it as an excuse to act like a jackass in public.

Too bad Youmacon having to deal with one of the convention centers having a partial ban on masks and weapons did nothing to stop Deadpools.

this trans shit is really starting to piss me off. Is this some feminism thing? A woman in jeans is normal, but a man in a skirt is a genderqueer transsexual? It sure sounds like some stupid woman thing to ridicule men

As a man, I feel entitled to wear whatever the fuck I want. If a female is feeling threatened that men are catching up on gender equality, then that's their fucking problem and they should get their panties out of a twist and leave me the fuck alone

Transgender people are people who suffer from Gender Dysphoria, yes its a real thing. It's not a mental illness (we've known this since the 70's) and its treatment is in fact transitioning,there is even a standard of care because its more common than you'd think. Transitioning usually happens by living as the desired gender, HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and in some cases SRS (sexual reassignment surgery.) No it is not a feminist thing in any way and no the trans people are not "gender queer" those are two different things.
Yes a man or a woman can where "whatever the fuck they want" but trans people aren't just playing dress up here or trying something out for a bit. They are just living their lives as whatever gender they happen to be mentally. The end.

Excuse me anon-san, I think you misunderstood what I said.

Last couple of years there's been a growing interest for some guys to pass as girls, this is called crossplay. This has nothing to do with transgenders, transsexuals, gender dysphoria or mental illnesses. These are just guys having fun dressing up as a female character

And then, in come a whole lot of idiots claiming that crossplayers are transgenders in denial, or they're gender queers for not acting up to their gender roles, and general discontent towards crossplayers in general for their reasons of doing it. Don't you see the irony? Just like the feminist movement made it possible for chicks to wear jeans, a masculism movement will make it possible for guys to wear skirts.

I personally believe treating them the way they do and supporting transitioning is the wrong way to handle it. But that's a topic that should be reserved to experts in the field and not random anons on the Internet.

Maybe i've been way too sheltered all of my life but this terminology like pansexual or demisexual, seems very tumblr to me. I've never heard of such a thing and it all sounds very special snowflake to me in some cases. Yes, i'm aware that just because i haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it's nonexistant. What i'm saying is: It feels like tumblr hit and that's all i ever hear about. Someone sees X costume but as someone else had mentioned, cosplayer gets upset over wrong pronoun use. I'm sure this probably happened before but i feel like tumblr blew it all out proportion and some people use this as a way to get attention.

Pansexuality, at least, has been around for about a decade to earliest of my knowledge. I know that because I remember being about 14 and deciding I was pan because it seems cool, and that is not the case now that I'm in my mid-twenties. Can't say for demi, but I personally think it's kind of a stupid distinction.

i find it fine that they were dressing in cute stuff, but the fact that they didnt bind threw me off. if you're trans that means you dont like the look of your original body so you change it yourself to look like a different/opposite gender.
