Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10970669Yes
>>10902106OP's cosplay is insane, imagine the BRAPs
>>10970669>>10970673The millennials in "the geek crowd" as you put it will be like that, but zoomers onward won't be as much. Zoomers will just say shit because it feels good, so as long as you're not going out of your way to misgender someone who is clearly female-presenting they won't care what you say.
>>10970774Yeah I'm not a dick, I can get along with you if you act normal it's the people that make it their entire personality that I can't really vibe with
>>10902106The cosplay thing should be fun and doesn't need to be sexual but some normies decided to ruin it by making a porn with cosplaying an anime character. I somehow thinking to those who cosplay and do onlyfans vids by making porn vids while they cosplay anime character. I feel you sir
hey furry community! I need help here, i want to start selling these furry masks for cosplay but im not sure about the price i should put to my creations (the photo its just a reference its not my work).and if u do this kinda maks show me! im new in this and i love to see other peapole creativity
This fucking site is going to put me under a FUCKING psychosis I swear. Fuck you and everything you stand for, but that being said that's extremely impressive and well made.
>>10972945>T. Afraid of masks
>>10973007I think his insanity is due to the blatant tourism on display and not the mask, Anon
Discussed this ages ago. Post here your biggest nitpicks about cosplays of characters that are never done correctly.
And I mentioned it too but it needs to be shamed till it ends>Medieval character>Wearing sneakersAnd more generally>Wearing crocs>Ever
>>10972845>cosplayer did not iron or steam anything and its covered in wrinkles and fold lines
>>10972845>chun li cosplayer doesn't wear the specific outfit I played when I was a young kid in my mom's town arcade place, which had a no touch sign in her pantie's ass side. which, for the record, I'm not sure anymore if it ever existed or not because I haven't seen that anywhere on the net or anywherefeels strange but good
>>10972902This right there, even worse of a offence if it's some shit Ali express cosplay. Like come one at LEAST have the decency to iron it it's not that hard.
>Link>Sephiroth>DanteCouldn't be fucked to notice these characters hold their swords lefthanded
old thread reached img limit >>10850672
>>10968249Every day I find more things I'm being lied to about. Fuck this gay earth
>>10963917Quality
>ummm whats wrong with cosplaying a character from a series you haven't watched?Unironically how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>10970690I'm not sure, the name doesn't ring a bell. She was western, and anons used to mock her, here and in /a/. If I remember correctly, she was either known for buying or selling Lolita getup, often people commenting how she would lie when dealing with her.
>>10948089It means you can't have in character sex with me afterward so what's the point
>>10970389Only subhumans who do the thing described by OP would get this mad at it being pointed out.Easy solution: Stop cosplaying characters from media you haven't seen/played/read.
I saw a cosplayer on instagram say she doesn't cosplay characters she doesn't know and cosplay fags called her a bully and gatekeeper because they misread and thought she said no one should do it
>>10970766people really got to learn to read
I need your help, guys. What software do all these asian girls use to change their face for their cosplay and nsfw videos?I tried googling, but all I managed to find were a few phone apps that don't look like they're up to the task.I suspect there's some secret industry insider knowledge that's not openly available on the surface...
>>10972878I was asking if somebody knows what software they use. Because I wanted to try it myself.Your comment wasn't helpful nor smart.
>>10972900the stuff in OP can be done without a filter though. It's circle lenses + eyelid tape + false eyelashes + the aegyo sal is done with makeup.As for apps: Beautycam, Snow, Meitu, LINE camera, Pitu, try one of those.
>>10972911Thank you! I'll try those apps!
A lot of them use Xingtu (醒图) which requires specific domestic Chinese phones to work properly on (the version we get Hypic is completely neutered and doesn't do the same thing at all)
>>10972931Just buy a Poco or Redmi, you can sideload it easily.
>be me>con this weekend>feel I am tool old (29) and need to hang up the costume>get invited to con, birthday sucked so say might as well >we all do some basic leftover cosplay nothing big >meet my /v/ros and /g/eeks all about the same age outside one guy we will call Steve>steve is 36 became a /fit/ faggot not really buff doesn't even have a six pack and really isn't like what you see on /fit/ but w/e>faggot does crossplay(love live, miku, etc) for memes he's not even 6ft like the rest of us>36 year old faggot somehow getting more attention than anyone despite being way older than us and barely fit like has good arms I guess>day 0, friday, saturday drunk and bonucing between room parties like he's a college frat person like a fag>no one is even asking his age even see some girls flirting with him who are probably like 24>meanwhile our group is basically ignored(we were doing old cartoon network stuff and my friend was doing a TACO meme)>even when people sobered up people were like "Oh hey steve!" What the fuck gives? I'm sobering up at the airport right now and looking back this just makes me more pissed off I stopped doing cons because everyone was saying "25 is too old for cosplay" and covid kinda solidified that. I don't get how he wasn't seen as a creep or divorced dad. Are women and zoomers actually this fucking stupid? Why should some faggot who is 36 get more attention than people who aren't giant faggot shitposters. He's too old right?
No doubt OP the pissy fag abandoned ship on this thread ages ago but the same crew here: >>10954937 will be at AFO again with the same setup. Please come by and see it's NOT a waste of your time. We toast the first drink of the night to Steve the God King
>busted old gramps finds out age doesnt actually matter and the problem lies with himWhy does it keep happening?
>Just stop being insecure! No one actually cares!Biggest lie on the face of the fucking earth don't fall for it OP.
>>10955089There is no age for cosplay, don't listen to the people telling you there isCrossplaying is gay tho
>>10970733>Crossplaying is gay thoBut enough about you
reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
>>10964011A simply "Hi, can I take your picture?" is enough 99% of the time. You can add things like saying you like the costume or the character. People like if you can recognize and name who they're wearing. Do:- Say thank you and smile afterward.- Look for cosplayers who are standing around not doing anything, they're probably waiting for someone to ask.- Have a few poses ready to suggest in the back of your pocket in case they're new and don't know how to pose. - Be mindful of the level of activity around you and them. Having a conversation can be welcome, but if there are a lot of people also taking photos it's best to move on quickly. Watch the foot traffic level in the immediate area and avoid blocking walking paths for more than a few seconds.- Look for group public photoshoot meetups on the event's discord or forum. You basically stand in a row with other photogs while the cosplayers take turns posing in the center,The few don'ts to remember are:- Don't approach someone for a photo while they're eating.- Don't ask for a photo when they've already taken off their wig or some other major piece of the costume. - Don't take it personally if someone says no. They're probably just tired or they have to hurry to reach a scheduled event.
I still love doing it just it irks me some SEA con photography "culture" increasingly being prevalent at my local cons. Cosplayers coming explicitly to just get a few photos or vids for social media then leaving, and photags with zero spacial awareness trying to camp parts of the con floor with some mid af setup.The latter is at least fine when theres a designated area, just I like my cons being more than a dim background for some thot's xiaohongshu post.
>>10964232any have am mirror to this google doc?
>>10969031weaboos keep complaining that other cons should be more like asian cons, and that's what happens in asian cons. it is strange that they go to cons like that instead of just doing it anytime though.
>>10969031i love xiaohongshu and chinese cosplayers. they look so good
>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.
>>10968541>>10968542Get a room.
Let's see how long we can keep this thread alive.
I think I miss the Ontario ALA years.
>>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]
Any gals here?
>>10971539insta is probably the best place to find the real gals. A few of them are moving to tumblr so that might be a shift to watch out for, wouldnt bother with any of the tumblr natives unless its for laughs though, all low effort weeb "gyaru gals" kek
>>10913639Yeah I was just in Japan for a month and there are a few Gyarus every so often in Harajuku, Shinjuku, etc. They're rare and I didn't get to talk to them, but a tan like that looks amazing on Asian girls.
I'm going to tokyo and paying for a gyaru styling and photoshoot wish me luck
>>10972757Why? Just do it yourself, its not as hard as these gaijin gyaru messes make it seem. Most of those photoshoots are scams anyways, if u insist on it go to one done by real gyaru not that ppgal shit
I dont really feel like i can say this anywhere else without a bunch of teenagers screaming at me but i think u guys kinda touched on this with the is gal feminist part of this thread, but like heisei gyaru culture has been propagandised by japanese gals and it wasnt at all how the current community thinks or pretends it was. There were exceptions, but most were assholes. they bullied unpopular ppl in school, literal homeless ppl and any gal that didnt fit their standards. They werent just disrespectful by strict japanese standards, they would have been considered disrespectful anywhere. They were woo girls but worse. They in fact made up most of the rules and then passed the blame to the western community. They would hate most of u and youd hate them too. Gyaru didnt become less popular just cause it went out of style, its because most of those girls left that life for good reason.The gaijin community has it so wrong that it makes it really confusing, like of course no one has a clear answer what makes someone gal or what the gyaru lifestyle or mindset actually are, its been twisted so many times to preserve the reputation of the subculture.I say this while dressing gal, i used to be into parts of the lifestyle, and having the only part of the mindset anyone can agree on which is not caring what people think. I consider myself gal as much as is possible while knowing this. But it makes me cringe so hard when ppl spread things like gal is about uplifting others, or the lifestyle is basically whatever you want it to be because a japanese gal said so. You are disturbingly susceptible to propaganda. It could be like that as well, if we stopped trying to be like jp heisei gals who didnt exist in the way you think. But that will never happen cause it seems like thats what most of the community likes about gyaru, the kind of mythos around it.
hey /cgl/ this me cosplaying my cat rupert, hes pictured here next to me ill add another picture after so you can get a closer look
fucking incel-bumper aslo gay as hell for OP, kys queer

>>10970649Meow wait a minute
>>10972854I hate nu-4chins so much is unreal
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.
>>10970597Sure this isn't an AI image made with their likeness? Otherwise... damn, the FG 42 prop is all kinds of F'd up. They don't seem to wear cosplay makeup either in most of their pictures, and the filter they like is off-putting
>>10970637She uses those cosplays to whore for attention. Why would she AI it up to look ugly? She even crowdfunded this particular one
>>10970540Is that a FAMAS
>>10972821no its a FG42its a german paratooper rifleifk it looks neat on her.
>>10972842I think anon was meme'ing. Also, the barrel is upside down...
The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.
>>10969983I remember koujackie
>>10969983
>>10969995only true dmmd fans remember our queen and goddess Koujackie
Tank9, a cosplayer and industrial dancer, went Christian and denounced everything:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1kmYvx4aQrEMonimusume/Chey/CheyenneA camwhore into anime and Nintendo, had a horrible case of anorexia, lost a magnificent body, seems better these days but has probably shaved 20 years of lifespan.

would you rather: have this chunli as your wife she's hot but hates you and divorces you as soon as possible and takes half of your money and property, makes you pay alimony and child support
>>10972661or have this chunli as your wife, ugly as sin but she loves you and is loyal will raise your kids healthy and strong, cooks and cleans for you
