To counteract all the moids here and the overwhelming spamming of slutty girls, here's a thread dedicated to the cuties who cosplay.

Emphasis on the "cute" part. Bodybuilders cosplaying just to show off their abs are just as bad as the girls who only do it for onlyfans.

we have to like fish in 5 different sites most of the time, ap nowadays is shit quality (Same with most lolita brands)

most newbie oldschoolers dont even know what oldschool is, they think its a substyle that consists of ONLY bxw/tartan coords that include a shitty taobao dupe of a baby dress or THOSE baby dresses everybody wears in oldschool (FUCK YOU BABYDOLL JSK AND LACE FRILL JSK UR UGLY. and the tartan pocket jsk whatever its called uoghhh im so sick of seeing people wear it) research is dead, god save lolita

There were tons of hot girls in cosplay back then, I knew quite a few myself. Most were just way more conservatively dressed, and Nigri just had way more mainstream appeal than most, she looked like a random generic porn blonde and wore costumes based on basic mainstream shit like Pokemon so she attracted a big audience from outside the cosplay scene.

>>10966534
That's the opposite of things I heard from people who actually knew her. I knew one person who'd done a commission for her, and then JNig lied and said she'd made it herself, and I was also staffing AX in a relatively high placed behind the scenes role the year she was a headline guest and then just didn't bother showing up.

meeting people is fucking awesome for the person supporting, would recommend considering if it meshes with your personality though. putting yourself out there has risks too, if you’re a quieter person that needs space you don’t need people who are slightly unhinged thinking you’re in some sort of relationship because they paid for a calendar one time and you were nice to them

With Tiktok and Reddit cooking every newbie's ability to do the most basic of research on J-Fashion, what are your go-to ways of telling them to fuck off and do a simple Google search (Preferably without getting banned) or to simply avoid these questions in the first place? Personally I've started rigourously filtering comments for questions like "where to buy" and set my profile to 18+ because let's face it, most of the little rats who keep expecting us to coddle them are minors.

Also what questions piss you off the most?
>>
any along the lines of these:

“Im (insert ethnicity/race that isnt Japanese or Asian) am I allowed to wear (insert J-fashion style)?”


“Am I Asian fishing if I—”


“I wanna wear (insert J-Fashion style) sooo bad, but I don’t wanna get bullied”


“Where can I get lolita thats cheap and preferably not online?”


“Is (obvious shady website that is notoriously known for being shady) a good website to buy from?”

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

ppl who overthink about coording and ask questions like "how can i wear (coord combo that has been done multiple times to a few times in magazines)??? it wont feel like lolita!!!!!"
it shows they dont really look at street snaps or actual references
a good example is in blouseless coord discourse because they are not hard to pull off and people who tend to freak out just overthink it too much n overcomplicate lolita

"is this lolita???" to the most non lolita coord you lay your eyes upon, she could be wearing a jirai kei coord and still try and pass it off as lolita, just because there is a skirt and socks does not mean it is lolita, there is more to it than that i think.

"where can i get (piece that has never been rereleased/old oldschool item/controversial) for cheap?" maybe in your dreams, people need to lower their expectations

this isnt a question persay but i see so many accounts repost lolita snaps and magazine related images, pieces ect, non lolitas and faceless pieceless lolitas alike and it frustrates me, they dont care about actually wearing it, they just want to repost and move on, they see cute girl cute fashion and get their dopamine hit , empty people.

I've never cosplayed before, but how exactly would I go about making this outfit? I have a sewing machine from my mom but that's about it.
>>
it doesn't look like you'll need to sew anything just get the clothes individually like a grey button up and black slacks and im sure theres a place for boots and cloaks and stuff

Month early edition

December 19 - 21, 2025
Hyatt Regency O'Hare
9300 Bryn Mawr Ave
Rosemont, IL 60018

Will we see our regulars at this calm and near barren con? A far 2nd place from Anime Zap with sub 100 attendees. CAD still gets its activity and a reason to do something in December, the festive season.

I remember seeing a while back that there was something about the owner of Ichibancon being kind of blacklisted in the area so they can't move or something, which is why they've been stuck at that one venue despite it being overcrowded. I don't quite remember the details.

Maybe. I go to NC State and just see a lot of Lolitas on campus.

My partner and I regularly go to GalaxyCon (the big big one in Raleigh) and Animate!
GalaxyCon has always been great, except the crowds are enormous and its hot as balls outside. If you cosplay, people are super friendly and like to chat (the overall vibe feels that way).
If you get the attached hotel its 100% worth it.
Animate! is newer but so far awesome, it's like a smaller GalaxyCon, less crowded and just as fun.. I haven;t had a bad experience (so far). Going as Qrow to Animate! In January since his VA will be there.
One pro-tip: The best event is the "Masquerade Costume & Performance Competition", it's usually on the last day. It's not a Masquerade but a straight-up talent show, and people go all out on skits and songs with their cosplay. It's so, so good, I look forward to it every year.
Second, the cosplay wrestling is super fun. Watching Ms. Trunchbull beat the shit out of vanellope von schweetz is awesome, even if you have no interest in wrestling itself.

>>10965077
Thanks for the info! I actually live in the triangle so hotel won't he necessary. I bought tickets for the last day so this seems like its a lot of fun!

Animate Raleigh is great if you want a chance at seeing Chris-chan.

I very much enjoy Ichibancon. It's a small regional convention, so set your expectations. I do like the venue and the parties are great. I've been the past 4 years. Lots of Genshin and ZZZ the past few. Tons of beginner/intermediate level cosplay. A few wannabe influencers do show up and try to flex.

I'll be at Ichibancon, Triad, and Banzai. It's like
>>10964703
Animazement is always a blast. I end up meeting cool people and hanging out more than actually doing the convention. Great dealer hall. The cosplay is usually a good mix of everything.
>>10964748
Usually shares the same scene with NC. You can bump down to ATL for the bigger conventions. Banzai is my favorite convention down there.

She is low tier compared to some chineses and japaneses.
But when compared to americans she is pretty good.
Most of the female americans are fat and ugly.

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.

Sounds like you're a retarded ana-chan with zero self awareness, individuality, and cognitive ability if you weight 126 pounds and somehow thinking you are not skinny fat. Your friends being rational and you brushing them off as "setting you up" tells me you're also some sort of schizo.

I hope the average Jax cosplayer isn't as insufferable as all the Jax fags I've come across. By far the most unlikeable TADC character but also probably the easiest to cosplay (provided you don't go full fursuit). For such a simple design, I'm surprised how difficult it is to pull off a simple Ragatha cosplay.

Are you the same guy who immediately calls any positive jax-related post "underaged" or "mental issues"?

No but I am the same guy who will ask how can you still be defending Jax after all he's done since the latest episode. Those same people you referenced will attack you when asking questions about Jax's morality

What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as small as it is, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be
>Cosplaying
solo, group, admiring, meetups, photography
>What the event itself offers
Guests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room
>The social element
Parties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas
>Hanging out
People watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"
And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.

I like the vibes and buying art. Any panels I think are neat are a bonus.
Kinda getting the itch to put on a panel myself, and maybe it's the influence of my cosplaying friends but I'm starting to want to give that a shot, too.
>>
>>10964788
I still go for artist alleys. That's also why I liked going to a Japanese con twice and would like to go back a few more times, buying doujinshi and reading them whenever I want makes it worth it. I don't care about other parts of cons anymore because I don't care about the cosplays I see or don't recognize them, guests are random tiktokers who just happen to like DBZ, there aren't anymore concerts by Japanese artists in the cons where I go, and professional sellers just sell bootlegs of anything you can think of.
>>
>>10964788
I am more in my element with a bunch of nerds and weebs. My friends arent really nerds, so cons help me find a community with that side of things, if only for a weekend.
>>
NGL I've only been to two cons this year, a smaller one and Dokomi, and for both I didn't need to pay for tickets because I was helping a friend with her booth or modelling for the J-Fashion show. I still bought regular tickets for Dokomi 2026 because the whole fashion show thing might not work out this year due to a change in how they handle volunteer helpers, as well as the new organisation team that got implemented this year for the fashion stage sucking major balls.
>>
>>10964788
Quite a few things actually:
>partying with the bros
>a reason to travel
>that warm feeling when someone recognizes and complements your cosplay, usually only obtainable when someone enjoys my cooking
>good panels
>the positive energy from seeing my friends also have fun and contributing to that how I can, thus creating a positive energy tide that floats all boats
>the chance to discuss shit I like irl and meet more people into said shit
>the nearly impossible chance that I might meet a woman who clicks with me, which for some reason I haven’t written off as entirely impossible

>>10965814
Having been to bad cons before (the worst one out of the ones I've been to being an actual fire or stampede hazard because there were way too many people in the venue), it's a no from me. The only good part about being at DashCon '14 was being able to tell people afterward that you were at one of the worst cons in history.

>>10965960
>I want pre-2020 cosplay back so much
2010's still had a bit of the old cosplay culture left, but by then the cancer that is influencer-driven cosplay was already taking over. When I finally started regularly going to cons in 2014 (not dashcon but other ones), names like Jessica Nigri and Yaya Han were already established as career cosplayers that did FOTM cosplays instead of using cosplay as an extension of fan art. It's obviously worse now, but it was already bad then.

>>10965814
I was there in 2014 Saturday and Sunday. It was decent if you treated it as a meetup not an actual convention (I ghosted)
