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.

>I don't know how they are not disgusted of being a fat bag
It's simple; get addicted to fast food (usually during college), then once you've achieved domain expansion from eating it all the time you either go through weight loss (hard) or give in to your addiction and choose to feel good through eating over being healthy and looking good (easy). It's the same reason why potheads look and smell like that, the mentality is who cares as long as you feel good.

Can't ignore their odor when they are standing next to me in line wearing fucking winter clothes on the hot day. If you don't think fat bitches doesn't have odor, think again.

I don't get why people are mad others are fat/ugly/disabled, it's not your problem. If anything you could use it as an ego boost.

>>10960776
They make the general area uglier by existing within it. They smell horrible, and their mobility mary scooters make it hell at smaller cons in the vendor area as they take up more room than a semi truck. I don't have any ill will towards the disabled, but fat fucks are disgusting and ruin things by being allowed to exist there

Not even a full year this time for a new gen! New cons on the block, more venue swapping, even more dates overlapping. Oh my!

I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.

You have to make a minimum of five costumes before attending your first convention, anon.
>>
>>10960583
Garbage.
>>10950976
You should start by making an easy costume, like a skirt, coat, kimono, etc. not something complex or hard to fit like a ball gown or body suit. Work your way up. And you don't have to make an entire costume. Buy some parts and make some parts.

Also, you should always make at least one mock-up or "shell" out of cheap fabric that you can adjust the fit by altering or remaking elements of it. When it looks and fits right, take it apart and use it as the pattern for your final garment.

Imperfect cosplay is OK, especially when you're starting out. Take your time, learn from each project. And if you find out making cosplay isn't fun- it's okay to buy stuff!

Sometimes internalized mysoginy, sometimes they are hypersexual gooners themselves. Sometimes they like the tease part for the self esteem validation while keeping a firm boundary of no nudes. Why? Because following the logical conclusion of the exhibitionism turns the feeling of validation into feeling like a piece of meat and sucks the fun out of the whole thing.
Dealing with autists who can't read the room and can't tell when to let a joke die and basic gooners who all make the same comments becomes mentally draining after a while.

Not quite dead since it's now been spun off into Wasabicon PDX (another bad con, with another bad story), but Newcon 2015 was probably my worst con from memory.

>Dead floor
>Lack of panels
>Overpriced for what it was
>Filled with annoying fujoshi's one of whom punched me

The only noteworthy event was some dude dressed as the Joker (Dark Knight) offering 17 year-old me booze.

Second worst was Newcon's continuation, Wasabicon. While I did previously enjoy the previous con I attended in 2022, this time in 2024, it didn't pan out as well.

>Overcrowded for a small ass hotel in a Hilton in downtown Portland
>Not too many interesting panels
>The con staff, for some reason, allowed me to host a panel similar enough to another one
>Artist alley was placed in a parking garage, which supposedly got a few people sick

Because it is someone so self important (usually with main character syndrome) that they literally devote their time and money to shoehorn their own mediocre creation into a franchise you know and love and make THEIR lackluster creation YOUR problem. They also tend to show up to meetups for said fandoms and shove their retarded creation down everyone’s throat.

The only exception to the “OC cosplays are cringe” rule is if you’re cosplaying a character in armor whose canon explanation allows for hundreds if not thousands of unique permutations of said armor that could still feasibly fit within the canon of the show/movie/game. Some examples would be Spartans from Halo, Power Armor from Fallout, Helldivers from Helldivers, Mandalorians from Star Wars and Space Marines from 40k.
>>
>>10957824
Because you're encountering them at the wrong events as their OC. Their fault, not yours. Conventions are about known properties and recognizable characters, but they want to dress up and be noticed for something no one knows or cares about there. What they need to go to is a larp event or in the case of ops pic one of those steampunk specific cons where everyone dresses like that. Or a furry con for furries. It's just a matter of context.
>>
>>10957824
I considered doing it. A comic I created that was basically a Double Dragon/Final Fight story. The character wears a blue and yellow letterman jacket, white shirt, jeans, and blue Chucks. I figured what’s the harm since I dress like that anyway. I know damn well no one is gonna get it. And I’m fine with that.

furries always get banished to a small corner in the anime con anyway
