Why are the current crop of cosplayers that attend conventions genuinely fucking insane?I haven't been in a few years and the people I have been meeting are just absolutely bonkers. Not even close to the kinds of people that were attending conventions 10+ years ago. It's like this new crowd is wearing the skin of my people and anything beyond surface level fandom discussion is like I am talking to an actual alien.I don't know how they even manage to function with the sheer force of counterintuitive doublethink induced tension going on in their heads.I mentioned Girls und Panzer:>omg umm lolicons are pedophiles??I mentioned High School of the Dead:>omg she's literally 17 years old and 364 days old you freakThese aren't even old anime, and I have never ever considered them "problematic" (you are a humongous faggot if you use this word, by the way) ((and I'm not even going to mention the amount of inter-group drama and "cancellations" that occur between these people; I recently watched someone get kicked out of a group for "grooming" and it was a 19 year old dating a 17 year old. Actual, genuine psychosis of groupthink where everybody had to pick sides and bullied everyone else into kicking the """pedophile groomer""" out. This is a specific example, but applies in every case where someone fails a vague "vibe check" that gives someone with a loud enough voice and influence carte blanche to freely kick whomever they choose out based on literally nothing; or """vibes""" which is a meaningless nothing word.)It's not like I'm shouting OOOH I LOVE CUNNY THIS LOLI BRAT NEEDS CORRECTION OOOUGHH but I may as well be doing just that based on the way these, again, utterly insane new generation cosplayers think. They are faggots, and I mean that in the most despicable way possible.
>>10977022>normiesYou are one of them
>>10977021>It's not like I'm shouting OOOH I LOVE CUNNY THIS LOLI BRAT NEEDS CORRECTION OOOUGHHMaybe you should. Normalfags should know when a group isn't theirs to invade.
i wamt to cum inside tomoko with my bwcif i don’t i will be sad
>>10977378I'm sure she's sad that your bwc isn't cumming inside her too
>>10977021you just discovered progressives/leftists lol
>jfash these japanese fascist sure dress in a curious way
>>10958316>>10958321>>10961723cool
Not the best and very cheap and I cant style a wig for shit but I tried.
>>10977000Hajime has a pretty simple design so it's not like there's too much more you could do to improve it. I would definitely recognize your cosplay if I saw you walking around.
>just over a month away>no threadSeriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.
>>10970180It was comfy. Did ALA really get too big for Ontario?
>>10964752Will this thread survive to see 2027?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_IyDVy9d_U[spoiler]Been meaning to share pictures but I kept putting it off, fuck me.[/spoiler]
>>10972872Only if you bump it every month
fug I didn't get a room at the hyatt
looking to find someone to room with pls and thank you disc: faithbasedanswers
It can look elegant when done right. I like the more ryousangata side to it for that reason.
>>10976889I do think that it's a style that short people can look good in, idk if it's possible to even look any good if you're like really tall
You know, this thread is slowly turning my opinions on jirai around.The comm is horrible, the style is kinda done BUT the fact that it makes people seethe is rather appealing...
>>10976889I've never really been a fan. The particular shade of lilac isn't my favourite and a lot of it feels quite uninspired, like every coord is a derivative of that one stereotypical jirai fit. But maybe that's because I never delved deeper into jirai because the impression I got as an outsider didn't interest me much.
Isn't there already a general thread? I don't care, I just want more casual j-fash threads. Right now all the peeps are into jirai, clown/kid stuff, or tenshi kawaii y2k breakdown. I guess only two of those originate in Japan. >>10976933I mean, if they put on a good wig and lose the 'stash and do some fake lashes, good enough. And if you say >>10976912 is the same.Maybe some false lashes and a better wig. Maybe some nails too. Its a work in progress. We've been here long enough to know anyone can be kawaii with enough work.
>>10976979>We've been here long enough to know anyone can be kawaii with enough workAnd nips prove it on the regular that it is possible with the right outfit, makeup, hair-do, lighting and camera angles
Now that the dust has settled, do you think participating in j fashion was net positive in your life?
>>10976878>Now that the dust has settledFrom what? This place is dead as fuck. Are there only bots making threads here anymore?
>>10976884I don’t mean here specifically, but overall j fashion falling out of relevancy.
>>10976895>overall j fashion falling out of relevancyMaybe when it comes to EGL, but I feel like J-fashion is on the rise if you mean J-fashion in general and not specifically the more extreme sides of it. The number of Uniqlos in the US has only been going up in the past few years, for example.
>>10976923>UniqlosThat’s something you would unironically discuss on /fa/, here we talk alternative jap fashion.
>>10976895>I don’t mean here specifically, but overall j fashion falling out of relevancy.It's not falling out of relevancy, but the way j-fashion takes place has changed dramatically. Older styles have fallen out of favor or become incredibly niche, more recent ones are more hype based and closer to fast fashion than exploring a certain ideal. J-fashion as a term has been quite watered down with how quickly a trend can spread. I would probably even assume the demand for japanese subculture inspired fashion is bigger than ever thanks to how developed information exchange and e-commerce has become making cute clothes and respective media really accessible, but the way it's experienced is not comparable to the 2000s and 2010s. Jirai-kei is probably the best example what the average experience will look like today.For EGL it comes off as if the community has sort of split into half. One consists of primarily older lolitas who have already settled within the fashion, are taught through classic sources, mostly well informed and well aware of the fashion environment and their rules. The other seems to mostly consist of newbies, oftentimes on the younger side, who picked up inspiration through social media or online shops, are chronically bad at sourcing information on their own, flock to the first thing they see and call it a day. Although these types of people have already existed before, the total share within the community seems to have grown significantly and caused the other half to withdraw itself to trusted circles. It's not falling out of relevancy per-se but communities seem to have publicly withdrawn a LOT for said reasons.
>MAGfest is sold outI'm going to kill myself
>>10976019this is actually a major fuck up for a con. it means some retard actually dropped the ball when planning. selling out of BADGES (not rooms) in a few hours means A TON OF lost revenue. someone needs to get fucking fired.
Can't wait for people who bought badges to find out that they cut the two largest providers for their arcade.
>>10976887The story behind it is so petty and stupid>Save Point vendor who is partnered with Konami gets upset at Snow Phoenix for emulating Komani servers for their arcade>Save Point throws a big fit about wanting Snow removed from mag for emulating>Unknown how Snow responded to it all>Magfest comes in and says okay BOTH of you are removed
>>10976905Lame. I remember the year I went they had a seemingly endless arcade full of stuff for everybody, and if I wasn't from a city where I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to arcades I probably would have spent the entire con there. If they don't have it this year (or have a way shittier version of it because of this vendor fuck up) then I'm kinda glad I got cucked out of going by the pass scalpers.
>>10976870There are new waves of people coming in every single year plus people are panic buying multiple tickets for the hotel lottery. The convention fucked up, I'm not sure what they can really do to fix the hotel lottery bullshit.
Why do you think so many woman cosplay as bunnies. To be honest it’s starting to feel repetitive.
>>10969229you can never have enough bunnies
They pack their fat in.
>>10976634At least they can, unlike you.
>>10969229Blame Hugh Hefner for it
The playboy bunny costume is a really common sexy look, and that goes since the sixties or so. It's meant to be sexy, playful and coquettish, and cosplay wise is easy to do. But I hate the cheap costumes and if I would wear any, it would be one similar to the official playboy ones
I don't get it. If your fat, just cosplay a fat character.
>>10976287thanks for the advice, I think i could make picrel work, but i've never made a mask or done body painting before.
>>10976777something tells me this could get u laid unironically
>>10976786You mean i could find a twi'lek dancer gf?
>>10976787picky, but maybe
>>10976788>pickybeggars cant be choosers...and im a beggar
Any style suggestions or new releases you're looking forward to?
Why do all Liz Lisa items look better in people's photos. Like this skirt, I hated it when it was released but now I really want to buy it after seeing pics
>>10973721Clueless here, can't you just take that stuff to a tailor if it doesn't fit?
>>10976703>>10973721making something 20cm larger might be hard without making it noticeable unless they have matching extra fabric. But many Taobao brands keep reheating Secret Honey's nachos and have more sizes, you could browse stores like Devilinspired and Honeywardrobe since they have pretty good selection and then reverse image search on Taobao using whatever you find for better prices
>>10976722>DevilinspiredAre you new here? Devilinspired is a scam site
>>10976725Can you read? I'm not telling them to buy from them, but it's easier to find items through them than Taobao if you're all new to Taobao. Find what you like and pop it into reverse image search on Taobao like I said.
Don't know if its better to ask you all or the /k/ommandos since this is some sort of holster? I've found exact matches for everything except for what's under his coat. Some sort of bag that goes under one shoulder without any straps across the chest, maybe theres stuff hidden behind the coat? No idea, please help me cosplay Gods.
>>10976652Oswald from Nikke
>>10976648It's just a shoulder holster
>>10976676Any tips of where to get one in that colour?
>>10976687Amazon or AliExpressDid you even try looking for yourself?
>>10976702I did, I could not find anything in the specific color though anon. I have not purchased anything firearm related for me to know these things
ANIME FRONTIER IN TWO MONTHS:The last few Texas events have been lurk slop I want to see coordinated meetups of some kind lets get some life into this board and more importantly in the Texas con sphere.
>>10976685>I want to see coordinated meetups of someHonestly /soc/ will be better for this than here
>>10976699nah all the local /soc/ialites are evil, this board can show it's more elite I believe in the cause
at the very least it'd be fun to get a group photo we can censor everyone's face it'd be cool
This board is dead. The days when a TX big con would have 500 retard aspies who would shit up the threads are gone. No one uses cgl for meetups unless it is to try to find thirsty fucktraps and behemoth mangirls.
>>10976713last year there was another poster that saw my group at the con. I will make something happen idc if it's literally one guy I just have to prove this board isn't completely gone. Also con's still like 2 months out and it's not that big a con so it's not like there's gonna be any real posts until at least mid-late november
