What is the most ass backwards advice you've ever seen someone give a new or inexperienced Lolita? From encouraging buying on SHEIN to suggesting Argyle with a pin striped JSK and good ol' defending replicas, let's hear it'
>>10974751Honestly, as someone who crossdressed before, facial hair is the worst thing to probably worry about. Especially if you end up growing a neckbeard. Trust me, facial hair on your neck is absolutely uncomfortable.
>>10974674"You don't need a wig, just embrace your natural features!!"Yeah no thanks, half the people not bothering with wigs have the most clashing deep fried washed out dye jobs. The other half have sloppy greasefests that you feel dirty just looking at. Even then, I don't care how nice your hair is, but thinking about those body oils rubbing and touching the KC that's never going to get washed is disgusting.
>>10974818Anon, this isn't 2012, nobody calls lolitas "classy" anymore, everyone knows the few still involved in it are aging catty bitches trying to forget how many times they said "you should stop wearing lolita once you turn 30" back then.Everyone knows better.
>>10976253>never going to get washedOh lord
>>10974856>the ones that look polyamorousmade me lol
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.
You can really tell which of the posts ITT were made by fat people
>>10960442tourist from /tg/ here. I've done LARPs out innawoods with groups, its basically D&D innawoods, and I can't understand why some people are unwilling to take a role, or in this case, dress as a character fitting of their body type.I'm admitedly a Fatass that can't run, but I know the archetypes of character/costumes I can run.Fat Merchant Prince with a harem of retainers because I got hella money? yep, I'm the Sultan of Bling.If I want to play something more aggressive and get into combat, I play a role where I'm dressed up like a barbarian with a big old axe and shaman powers and boom, I can play that role.Sometimes, when I played a monster, as requested by the LARP admins, I put on a costume they intended for bigger people and I go on to play as a big ol' Ogre or a Stone Golem and the slow nature of those creatures combined with their hardy stat lines makes it so players have to play around the creature I'm incarnating and that's great fun.PLAY AND COSTUME TO YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.
>>10968549>>boulder thrice the width of the character rolls on the stageOH LAWD SHE COMIN'
>>10976638Yeah, all of the posts in here are. Fatties are the biggest fattie haters.
>>10961980Based teach enjoyer and props to you if you can actually pull it off
I'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the "scene" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me.>Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay?>Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days?>I've read a lot on this board about "after hours" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like "fandom" or "pop culture" instead of specifically "fantasy" or "otaku" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more "western" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them? >Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right?>What's a "gull"? >How do you not get sick every time you go to one? >How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is "con season"?>If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes?And some more personal questions>If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money. >How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group?>How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable.Thank you for your time.
>>10974013Which character? You have a few options, you can speak louder, use a microphone/speaker, or just use motions like nodding (can be very suitable for silent characters)
Is this why i sometimes get a weird look when i ask to take a photo of them instead of with them?
>>10907403>deoderantWhat is this shit, written by whoever handles the Ramencon website?
I wasn't prepared for vendors to compliment my cosplay then immediately show me all of the stuff they were selling of that character and turn my cosplay into a sales pitch. Does that always happen?
>>10974624Is it weirder to take photos of cosplayers or taking photos with them if you aren't in cosplay? Do you need to be in cosplay or need to cosplay something related before asking for a photo with them?
The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.
>>10963289she returned on instagram briefly but her profile disappeared as soon as it began catching on
>>10976456Considering her long history of stints, it ain't that surprising.She probably quit again due to her not being thickskinned enough to take criticism or light-to-mild harassment as always, sucks to be her as I know her friend circles are filled by nothing but Yes-Men.
>>10976462thats cosplaying 101, ignore those people and carry on but she seems to never get the memo
What ever happened to Sailor Bubba? I hope he's living his best life.
>>10940489I am fond of mexican cosplayers who did a variety of cosplays, basically potpourri, like WillowCreative, but all of those I knew are gone and retired.
Is barefoot cosplay ever acceptable?If you are walking around at a con?
If someone wants to risk stepping on rusted metal, glass, food, ect just to be “canon” they should sign some kind of waiver that won’t hold the con responsible. If they are willing to risk it despite knowing when it comes to any other public outing they have shoes on, it’s on them.
>>10964861Yeah this is the only way to do it. Walking around actually barefoot is too risky.
sup 4 chan does dressing up as a cat girl count as cosplay??? i've been having a disscussion about that with friends and decided to simply ask the internet (﹏)lets hope i dont regret posting my face to 4 chan
>day old thread>first post : bish you fat>150 postsRumors of /cgl/'s demise have been greatly exagerated.
In my opinion and a bunch of others too, just putting on cat ears and a stupid tail doesn’t count as cosplay and it’s kinda crazy you think that is considered cosplay when it’s literally just a headband and a tail and either way if you were to actually try real cosplay you look too fat and your jaw is weird and gross looking
>>10976496this is why ull always get catfished by trolls
>One day passes without showing how much she actually weighed Fatass
>>10976617Please.
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.
>>10956441>female empathy and sensitivitydo you know what fucking board youre on
ramona closet cosplay lolzz
>>10969463She took the pic to promote her OFYou reap what you sow
Hi OP don't know if you are still aroundBut there's an anon on this board who would really appreciate it if you would post a timestampThanks in advance
You look disgusting
Hii I wanted to try 4chan for the first time
>>10972292cute failed bait thread
>>10974125no larp no life
I hope this is not a guy.
>>10976013all larp, no life
Why’s your face look so deformed on the left photo
( posted on b yesterday ) my asuka cosplay arrived ! so did my haruhi cosplay, but its too small and the seller is refusing to accept an exchange >:I guess itll do for photos and videos but i dont think i can wear it to cons
>>10970780Nice try, but that's not an Asuka cosplay. That's Rei's outfit with Asuka's wig.
>>10970780Cute
>>10970780Post more pictures I can masturbate to please.
>>10972503she posted on /b/, but did she post on /cgl/? probably not
Bump so >>10974817 can get his timestamp
I have never had sex in my whole life. Would a cosplaying femanon meet up with me and have sex? Preferably a cute anime cosplay.
Enjoy your vacation
>>10976461What vacation, fag?
>>10976459I don't know man, I mean if you can go to a cosplay event then go, and you would have better chances if you were cosplaying as something but can't guarantee anything

>>10974811`Are those nursing clogs?I actually think they look really cute
>>10975760this is my first time seeing a lolita dress with polka dots pattern that doesn't completely suck ass, and I'e seen my fair share of them
Have you ever thought about getting plastic surgery for cosplay?If you did, were the results favorable?
It worked for Nigri
>>10919926maybe if i had unlimited money and it was magical with no chance of complications or sides. as a man all i'd want done would be the most minor shit like lasering off any hair on my neck and crevice between neck & chin because those are really annoying to shave. maybe thicken my sideburns. absolutely not worth the money and whatever minor risk any medical procedure invites.as for women getting it i don't really care as long as they don't look weird. areas where women get work done mean nothing to me. most attractive part of a woman to me is the anterior triangle of the neck, specifically the area around the platysma. if a girl has a beautiful neck every inch of her will be perfect
>>10919926When men do it they get dog piled by fakestream media and basedciety, but for women it's absolutely fine. Looksmaxing that's 2 sides of the same coin.
>>10974847Laser isn't a medical procedure tbdesu, it's less intrusive than a tattoo would be. and the technicians usually are knowledgeable in other things like skincare, grooming a lot else rlly.
I'm finna boutta get timestamp implants
Meta thread. Let's discuss what the fuck has been happening to and within the culture of EGL.Some questions and thoughts that have been on my mind below, reply if you want or bring up your own ideas to discuss. -Why is ita mostly dying as an insult? Are we not using it enough, or is it past it's time?-Brand whore as a concept nearly disappearing in the west-gooning and its effects on our psychology, how it has stopped many of us from posting publicly-Ero is back, and becoming popular, but why? Male infiltration, or are we finally reclaiming ero as a community? -is Lolita even a community anymore?-is the jirai culture online our fault?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10972315>>10972570Ouji was never really "for men" anyways. It's a masculine style, but it was always for women first.
>>10972553Fair enough, lmao
There's trans people who are actually women and There's ones who aren't
>>10972302>-Why do you think EGL as a whole has moved away from cgl?Honestly I think it's just that 4chan itself is just not as relevent as it had once been, especially for niche hobbies.Discord kind of ate it alive.It's not just /cgl/, I've seen it happen with /tg/ which is nowhere near as notable as it had once been. Let's say you want to get a view of what's going on with indie game dev cycles for tabletop and wargaming. Nowadays your best way to connect won't be to get downvoted on reddit but it also won't be to get the /tg/ nerds that of course already know about every other project. It's to join a network of dedicated discord servers and see who is who and where and active in what.And there could be more examples>/mu/ has completely failed to move with the times and none of the newer musical subcultures have any interest in the home of vaporwave>/vr/ is just not a convenient place to start or sustain any kind of projectThe modalities of online niches have changed and the need that 4chan used to fill is not as big anymore.
>>10976448>/vr/ is just not a convenient place to start or sustain any kind of projectWhat did you mean by this? The only part of the vidya boards that has anything to do with making projects is /agdg/ on /vg/, everything else is about vidya consumption.
