/cgl/ is a board for the following:

• Cosplay
• Lolita
• J-fashion
• Conventions & gatherings
• Sewing & prop-making
• Craftsmanship tools/materials & tutorials
• LARPing
• Discussing accessories such as wigs/circle lenses/prosthetics/makeup (These must be within the context of the board-related topics listed above; weight loss threads should be kept in /fit/, beauty and fashion generals should be kept in /fa/)

Our board rules are simple:

• Thread content must be related to one of the categories covered in the list above. Off-topic threads and replies will be deleted.
• Singling people out maliciously is not tolerated and will result in a ban. 4chan is not your personal army. The singling out rule applies to vendetta threads and replies being made to attack a specific person, as well as predatory behavior like doxing. Discussing an individual in general isn't against the rules as long as it's done within context of cosplay/lolita/j-fashion.

i'm not saying every person needs to have the same accurate body as the character they are cosplaying as, call be fatphobic but seeing ugly ass fat pigs cosplay and expect compliments annoys me.

I don't know how they are not disgusted of being a fat bag, and looking like a pork compared to slim or fit cosplayers.

It was getting better for a while, but I feel like lately a lot of the fat girls I run into refuse to take ozempic and similar pills. Not really sure why, my guess is dudes overplayed their hand and asked girls about ozempic too much.

>>10960442
I wouldn't say they ruin everything simply by existing with the desire and ability to cosplay.

What is harmful is when some of them take it upon themselves to "call out" the fans of cosplayers who are in-shape or thinner.
That shit reeks of jealousy and creates unnecessary competition for those who aren't in it for the money/fame. Then they bring up politics and morality to guilt the community, when in reality this isn't a reflection of politics, its a social issue.

Who’s going? Who’s excited? Cosplay lineups.

This is my 4th year going solo so I hope to be able to organize a meetup this year or something. This con has otherwise been enjoyable every year.

September 3rd - September 6th, Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio.

That was my biggest gripe with it. Everything going to the hotel by 8 or whatever felt off. Decent spot to hang out but it was so small.

This year I'm gonna have to run some stuff by my crew cuz speaking DESU we flushed all of Saturday night down the toilet on an idea I knew was a fail from the start and it was. Comes from how spread out everything was. For 24 though, I can remember the exact moment feeling my soul getting bled dry: the huge uncanny, empty parking lot walk

>one reason I wish we'd get a con at the Florida Gaylord.
And mine is: the famous con actually at a Gaylord, Katsucon. Unless something changes, I'm branding it the unfriendliest least welcoming con of all. And I say this in full acknowledgment, that Holmat day people aren't a basket of rainbow sunshine either

Oh yeah the Gaylord there is nice but I've been there for MAGFest which ironically is one of the nicest crowds I've seen. Gave me old holmat vibes, minus the Christmas stuff of course.

The con that shall not be named on this board was good enough and really put things in perspective. People flying over 9000 miles to be there and I'm just a 3 hour drive. Still, booking a Disney venue was a huge mistake anyone with a half functioning single cell brain could see

A member of our con staff got arrested at the con, and still nobody knows why. He was walked out yelling "That was YEARS ago!"

In happier news, I was in the hospital with appendicitis and my bf came to visit me dressed as Shinji Ikari. The nurse with Tokyo Mewmew tatts thought it was hilarious.

I swear, if you are normal weight, have a slightly defined stomach and you are tall, you will almost get sexually harassed as a guy at a large enough cosplay gather. I am kinda a germaphobe, when it comes to STD, so it feels too fucking weird to take advantage of that situation. But there must be organized groups of girls out there, who are only there to fuck or something.

The music scene is not really comparable because that is made of bands and producers making new music with the intent to get paid sometime. The focus is on the music itself or the aesthetic presentation of said music but not so much on personality except in extreme cases.

Idols on the other hand are primarily personality and identity driven. Your brand and face as an idol is as important as the music you perform. Maybe even more important, since most idols are covering the same stable of songs instead of producing new works. It's an environment of girls living out their dreams to "shine bright" on stage instead of some songwriter trying to make a heartfelt statement about themselves or their lives. Because the idol scene is so heavy on personality there is a lot of ego investment and because the participants skew younger you end up with a lot of schoolyard tier acts of gossip and rumormongering by the same people espousing a rainbows and ponies community culture in public.

It's not like the music scene doesn't have bands with infighting and implosions and break ups but that's all intra-group conflict instead of inter-group conflict.

Heard about it on social media and found it very weird how everyone was suuuper concerned and worried. Like, Dokomi has some 200k visitors nowadays and one (1) person anheroed weeks later, how are you affected?
And not to hwnbaw post, but everyone was very sure to call that person she in every tweet even when there was zero information out, very telling. Afaik even the police record said man which rules out that it could have been a tranny. It's just silly at this point

Space Marine Judiciar for Fri/Sat afternoon, just finished final fitting today

Didn't see a thread for CCE yet, so I'm biting the bullet. Who're you cosplaying? What're you most excited for? How much alcohol are you going to consume cuz we all know what we're here for?

I've been going for a few years but never hit the waterpark (usually too busy partying elsewhere), looking to rectify that this time. Also need to see Kazha again, they're great every year.

The lockers were a bit pricey and the drinks too. If you order a large drink in the indoor water park you can get a cheaper refill on it but thats up to how much liquor you handle and if you wanna spend the price of a meal on it.
