tacticool is cool but the peoples who usually wear tacticool are absolute morons
Touhou. It's surreal that I said that.>>10921436Mimiru from .hack
>>10926904Well we clearly aren't going to the same events then
>>10926904What cons do you go to? The 2hou community is everywhere on the east coast
>>10927350>>10927994Primarily AX and ALA. I will see the occasional Reimu but I feel like as a series, it got pushed out by Genshin.
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.
>>10912575>>10912748So I would like to start by saying your aren’t nuts. I have also found modern cons are just less friendly than those back in 00’s and early 10’s. I don’t think it’s just that the pandemic blunted peoples social skills and has made them more fearful of interacting with strangers. The culture as a whole as been accelerated by the national culture. Every interaction feels much more cliquish and transactional. When I started going to cons everyone was on the same page. We were all weebs who wanted to meet other weebs. Not that just isn’t the case, anime and cosplay have grown so much that not everyone is there to socialize like that any more. “The cosplay community” isn’t really a community any more. It’s more a collection of cliques and sub groups that has cosplay as a common thread.What has come with that/ contributed to that is that every interaction feels far more transactional now. As soon as common forums died and were replaced with individualized social media profiles it has really been a race to the bottom because there is no real shared space everyone feels a stake in now. The new elitism isn’t cosplayers shunning someone for having a poorly made cosplay; it’s clout chasers. I mean why interact with a lowbie? If the translation isn’t shares for followers it’s actual dollars but that is a whole other conversation about how people try to make cosplay their job. But yeah tl;dr very few ppl do cosplay purely for the love of the game now.
ok so things are badcan we do anything to save it? or is it inevitable that its doomed forever?
tried getting into it in 2016, didn’t like it, now I avoid it at all costs. Made a few friends, but none of those friendships lasted. Would have been nice to have kept some of those friendships, I live in LA and have a nice house now that would have been awesome to share with others with mutual interests, especially after hours for kickbacks or if they needed a place to stayI stopped going to cons 2 years ago, much of the current scene isn’t really appealing to me and because I teach, I see a lot of my students there which is sometimes cool but other times makes it weird
>>10924561until something is done about social media, nothing will change for the positive, it will continue to be a race for clout and continue to spiral.
>>10905421Can't say I missed the part about /cgl/ being "/pol/ with vaginas".

Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby
>>10854509Its for men. Half are on onlyfans and moids and simps are 100% their fan base.
>>10912099Nah they usually in the same boat years ago after wasting money on stupid shit.
>>10889978Idk some of the girls I see with onlyfans make me laugh. 90% are mid and need to catfish to look decent.
>>10926797Just so you know, assuming you're remotely capable of introspection, when you're lying awake at night, wondering why people don't like you, it's because of shit like this.
>>10911145Those were the times ..
>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10919194I refuse to leave this accursed faggot earth without getting my fill of joy and so should you. Pick a character with a mask to hide your ugly and aging face. Work out. Work overtime. Look for raw materials and make your cosplay instead of buying it.

>>10927274>How the fuck is wearing their hair naturally some sort of attack on white people?I wouldnt say its an attack on white people, but it is an attack in general. Just directed at the cosplay community.
>>10927274generally, i had no problem with blacks cosplaying. my disdain grew when they demanded to be coddled to or immunity from criticism for their often shitty cosplays. or when someone else not black/brown attempts to cosplay a character with darker skin. at the end of the day, we're just sick of hypocritical and whiny niggers. 10 years ago, you people werent this uppity and black cosplayers were just a bunch of weebs like any other. but, like the merchant tribe, your behaviours have predictably made you hated pariahs.

I really hope they move karaoke back indoors for a couple of reasons:1. So that everyone outdoors in DTLA doesn't have to hear another retard screaming Linkin Park for hours on end and 2. So that actual good singers can do so without standing outside in the sweltering heat for hours and then having to sing in the middle of the most populated city in America
>>10929145>1is it really that big of an issue? >2the heat was pretty awful, but I think putting it outside in the market was a good idea. Putting up more event/party tents for more shade would help a lot.>having to sing in the middle of the most populated city in Americais that really an issue?
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
>>10914062>buy a size bigger because the tight fitting bodysuit is tightyeah no shit Sherlock, it's supposed to be tight. There should be zero folds in your clothing, it's supposed to be skintight. Your suit is too big.
What cosplays are canon latex vinyl?
>>10874377not latex, great ass tho
I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like
>>10896142Any cosplay tutorial source is full of women and mostly made by women. Just because you spend your time gooning to onlyfans whores and underage tiktokers in aliexpress cosplays that doesn't mean you have any picture of the scene kek.
>>10895583>why do you cosplay So i can feel like her
>>10926998op herei love youdo you have a bf
>>10895583Because I was a lame student and now I am wage cuck, slaving away in office irl and I need to be someone else who is less miserable. When I cosplay, I allow myself to be someone else. Also cosplay motivate myself to care for my body, skin care, workout. I really don't want to be me, so might as well do better to be a character I love.
I like being a badass warrior and being complimented at cons.Also seeing kids excited when they see me in cosplay is pretty awesome.
Why is there such a stigma against girls who cosplay for money? As someone who has never had a girlfriend, being able to send money to cute girls who cosplay as the characters that I love is one of the only things in my life that makes me feel like I have a purpose. From patreon to onlyfans, it's on of my biggest joys and motivations in my life. One day I hope I can give money to a cosplayer at a con in real life and not just through the internet.
>>10868287because western roasties are just grifters who dont add anything of value except shitting everything up with their activism and onlyfans whoring
>>10868287This 3 dumb asians using a even dumb facemask, says it all about it
>>10870062Something a dork who never visit any Asian country would say...Dumbfuck
because you're sexualizing my hobby.
>>10868292That Nonon cosplayer is never going to live this one down isn't she?
Hey this is my first posting here. So I wanna go to anime expo next year during my next vacation and I wanna cosplay just for fun since I have the money to buy costumes and assets but the only problem is that I'm not good at makeup since I have never done makeup and only had it once but I left someone do my makeup for me that one time I have seen a lot of cosplayers having heavy makeup to look almost like the characters. Is it necessary or is it optional?
>>10925140If you just wanna cosplay and hang out in the halls, you don't really need makeup, though learning some basic makeup will cost you very little (especially when you're just starting out, cheapo department store makeup is fine) and will take you like an afternoon, and have pretty big impacts right off the bat on you looking good. If you want to do more than that, ie full photoshoots or cosplay contests, you'll have to learn much more complicated makeup. It really just depends what your goals are.
>>10926774Not being into Brazilian trannies doesn't make me sheltered.
makeup is a skill that takes some practice but getting "good enough" only takes like 5 tries it's easy to learn. really no reason not to and it makes a huge difference between looking lazy and looking good especially for a female character.primer + foundation + blush + setting powder + lipstick for the faceeyeliner pencil + eyeliner + mascara for the eyesjust buy from elf/wet and wild/maybelline
>>10927145If you plan to never wear it outside of cons do this. If you plan to wear it at all regularly or find you like it and start to wear it regularly do not do this. You need good makeup not cheap shit from Walmart or it will WRECK your skin. You'll be 24 looking 40.
>>10925492I’d give her dozens of babies
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10926568Petra is actually just an introverted neet. Met her at cons, sweet and quiet. No OF and keeps to her close small cosplay group.
>>10926568>Cosplayer craves attention and validationShocker
>>10848086>all that unnecesary e-girl makeupdo men or guys who don't crossplay not get how much time and effort goes into that? If you're cosplaying a simple character like Marin thats literally the most important part and for most her characters its also not unnecesary
>>10927220>She spends time posting her slutty ass online for attention and goes to cons with friends>She’s suuuch an introvertlmao

Happy Canada Day! Who's going to the Montreal Comiccon?
>>10925210same! its my second year at otakuthon this year.
>>10925732I won't be going to comic con though I have thought of going saturday for the celebs on stage event because a lot of cool people are coming but i'm going to a concert that day. i didnt think it'd be worthit paying 80$ for one day so im just going to otak
I didn't know it was soon, I'm going to Otakuthon instead. I wonder if I can meet people there instead of just being a loner. I'm only going to be there on saturday, so I don't know.
>>10925730Otakuthon is ran by absolute retards unlike Comic Con that is ran by competent individuals.Have fun waiting 5h in line for a concert only for it to be postponed by another 3 hours. You will get to enjoy your concert at the very back of the room, but not before getting yelled at by power tripping jannies. Also, no refund, it is YOUR fault for not planning your schedule accordingly
>>10926798Are you that sperg who autistically writes paragraphs about how bad otakuthon staff and jannies are?
