Tennis shoes.

Who is that suppost to be?

And shitty costumes. Uncut threads, unironed, fraying material, wrong colour, missing stuff.... I could go on!

I'm more annoyed by elitists than I am of bad costumes. You gotta start somewhere.

>>1487209
On the same note, I'm annoyed by people that can't handle others having personal opinions that differ to their own
Very good, you bought a cheap dress from Hot topic and put your gross brown hair in pigtails. Don't expect people to like you as much as you doing it.

People not realizing this is a hobby and not OMG supa serial.

Make a good costume, chill the fuck out, it does not make you king of the nerd people.

>>1487215
WAT.

I hate it when people make sailor senshi skirts too long. Which is about 80% of cosplayers.

>>1487293
Agreed. They should barely come past your ass, but people think that it's like a real school uniform so they can just wear it halfway to their knees.

Not so much a pet peeve, but it's disappointing when I see a beautiful costume on a decent body with a good wig, but the face is fug so it messes everything up. Especially when they didn't even try to put on makeup.

>>1487215

>>1487215

I hate it when chicks dont suck my dick

I RAGE against shitty closet cosplay...Take the time to go out and get a damn machine and make it yourself. Or hell, get a commission and ill have better respect for you.

NO WIG OR SHITTY DYE JOB ON YOUR HAIR. So you have blond hair...YOUR NOT FUCKING CLOUD WITH YOUR FUCKING BRO CUT.

Hemming and seams. I like straight and clean seams :D

Fat cosplayers who don't know how to dress for their body type.

crossover cosplay

augh

>>1487195
...Sailor Fai?

Fabric that doesn't have appropriate texture.

Attention whores. Okay, I'm aware that everyone in cosplay is asking for attention, but the annoying kh fangirls that just make out in the hallways because it's kawaii and yaoi = LAME.

Also, brush your wig plzkthx

satin. costumes that can be fitted very easily (it's called DARTS, people) but they're not. Using the wrong "there"... wait...

Bad everything, yet they have the balls to wear it publicly. Pic related.

Cosplayers who know nothing about their character and just wear the costume for attention and recognition. It's not that I'm being a bitterfag, but I feel like it reflects badly on the rest of us who are in the hobby for better reasons.

Poor wig care. Dear god, I have to handle the wigs for my group...And only one of them bothered to leave it in my possession. One of the wigs is going bald because the dimwit who owns it won't store it correctly. And the bitches at me. You know what? It was a cheap wig, it practically eats my hair pins, and it's going bald. GET A NEW WIG, YOU TWIT. And LEARN TO STORE IT PROPERLY. AURG.
She's done this with all 3 long wigs she owns too. One of them is clear down to her butt, and she still just shoves it in an ever loving DRAWER.

tl;dr: I hate having to deal with wigs of people who don't know what the hell they're doing.

>>1490397
How should one store a wig? I usually just keep mine on wig heads (since they have a lot of styling or accessories attached to them). Is there something else I should be doing, or should I just not shove them in a drawer? I'm a little worried now.

>>1490402
It's usually best to either stick 'em on a head (baggie the long hair if it's longer), or just baggie it in general. She just throws them in a drawer...No head, no bag, no nothing. They get tangled to hell and back, and it hurts my brain sitting around with a comb and wig conditioner, trying to fix her idiocy.

>>1490402
I'm not sure about styled ones, but you should probably wash them and take the accessories off if you don't plan to use them for a long time. The hair products could collect dust and stuff. You could at least keep them in large boxes to keep the styling intact.

Wigs are best kept in the net things (to keep them from tangling) and the ziplock bags they're usually packed in, then stored in a cool place away from sunlight. It's better not to just prop curly/wavy wigs on wig heads because they tend to droop after a while.

CHEAP WIGS RUIN GOOD COSTUMES.

>>1490408
Oh good. I was worried there was some trick I hadn't learned and I was now slowly killing all my wigs.

>>1490408
I use almost all my wigs a couple times a year, but should I put a baggy on them or something, so as to avoid dust? I also kinda like looking at them, though... :3

My pet peeve is that almost every friggin Japanese cosplayer wears platform shoes.

pet peeves:

- Shopped pictures
- Chicks who believe that buying a shitty dress and putting their hair up in pig tails = Misa
- People like Yaya, who talk them selves up for being self taught. Most of us are self taught sweetie.
- Those shitty frizzy wigs that people buy from $2 shops
- Kingdom hearts cosplayers
- Naruto cosplayers
- Un-ironed Satin costumes
- Sailor Moon fuku made from shitty shiny satin. For god sake, the Sailor Scouts don't have amything shiny on them.
- Wrong colours
- Missing details
- People who wear costumes that don't suit them
- Overdone makeup


Another pet peeve is people who worship cosplayers such as: Yaya, Adella, Miyu, Soni and every other chick that turns up on here. Really, there is nothing special about them. They can afford professional photographers and their pictures are shopped like no tomorrow. Yaya always looks orange..

Cosplayers who try too fucking hard to make :3 faces. Seriously. It makes you look like a retarded duck who just desperately wishes they were asian.

bump

>>1490405
Why would you think that's a good idea?
No offense, but your friend might be retarded.

I once talked to a cosplayer who claimed he made his costume because he just loved his character and not because he cared if he won something from it. "Cosplaying is for the fun of it," he said. Then later complained when someone bet him out when their costume had this detail and that detail missing. If its not about the contest, then don't complain about not winning and then changing your mind that "COSPLAY IS SERIOUS BUSINESS." Just be honest.

That and people who think its okay that they glomp you because, heck, everyone else is okay with doing it at the convention.

>>1490467 >- Chicks who believe that buying a shitty dress and putting their hair up in pig tails = Misa

Death Note cosplay in general. Not out of any dislike for Death Note itself, but the fact that you can just throw on a suit and call yourself Raito/Light, a skanky dress and call yourself Misa, or jeans and a white shirt and call yourself L.

- Naruto cosplayers that make the rest of us look bad. Some of us actually DO TRY to make good looking Naruto cosplay... and then there's the rest that make the few good ones wince in horror and hide.
- Cheaply made props (like ones that LOOK like duct tape and cardboard)
- Cheap wigs or wigs styled really badly or BOTH
- Genderswitch cosplays. Fuck I hate those.
- Fat people that seriously should not be doing that costume because my eyes bleed. Not fat people who are doing a cosplay that they don't look just-like the character because they have a fat face or somthing but... those ones with bulge hanging out everywhere and you can see every wrinkle of fat through their spandex. Shudder.
- On the other hand, anorexic people that I could have lived without seeing every one of your ribs in that costume for a character that obviously has muscle and a good build.. instead of your bony ass.

>>1490515
Reminds me of this cosplayer. Trying way too hard to look cute for a picture makes me RAEG.

>>1490842

That doesn't look like she's trying too hard at all. Deeerp.

>>1490854
Derrrrrrp.

Missing important pieces of your costume. I was at a con and was talking to a girl who said she'd forgotten the shorts for her costume she wore the day before so she just WENT TO THE GATHERING IN HER PANTIES.

I guess it would've been acceptable if she was good looking but after seeing pictures, I threw up in my mouth a little.

>>1490842
>>1490856
She tries to look in character. OHNOES

People who say new, slightly popular anime are becoming the new Naruto in cosplay.

Do you see hundreds of underage Code Geass or Gurren Lagann cosplayers with hairspray and Hot Topic accessories? Because I don't. :\

>>1491071
I dread the day they start selling Zero masks at Hot Topic.

fatties

People who play ONE game with a character they like in it and decide to cosplay that character.
I.e.; Samus and Sheik cosplayers that have only played SSB Brawl, or Silent Hill cosplayers that have only seen the movie,

>>1491135
I'm sure most people are just cosplaying Brawl versions of the characters. Most people have played Metroid and Ocarina of Time.

It's Ness and Lucas that get the treatment you talked about. ಠ_ಠ Holy crap.

>>1491135
...What's wrong with that? If they like the character, why shouldn't they cosplay them. Not everyone has the time to sit around and play every single fucking game a character has been in.

A;ll I'm seeing in this thread is BITCH, BITCH, BITCH.

Seriously, you losers need to find something else to do with your time.

My pet peeve: basically, any prop.

But I have an engineering degree.

>>1491157
They don't have to play every single game in the series, it's just... it's like watching only Alien vs. Predator, and from that saying you're a fan of Alien movies.

When... you're not.

>>1491135
You realize this peeve is ridiculous thought right? If this really bothers you then you're retarded.

If it's just like "NYAHHH" and you pull the bottom of one eye down with your finger and stick your tongue out at these people then it's ok though.

>>1491175
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY YOU LIKE SOMETHING IF THERE ARE MORE OF THAT SOMETHING AND YOU HAVE ONLY SEEN/READ/HEARD ONE OF THAT SOMETHING RIGHT GUYS.

THIS MAKES SENSE, RIGHT?

>>1491175
Honestly, why don't you just whip your dick out and slap it down on the table at that point? That's basically what you're doing.

i r teh biggar fan hurrrrrr do you remember what happened at 14:08 in episode 4 of season 2 of full metal alchemist>? zomg you newb

>>1491175
But they can be a fan of the aliens from that movie alone because that is an alien movie. But in the case of movies they would probably watch the rest of them.

With games not everyone is going to sit down and invest the man hours to play another game, just because it has a character they like in it. They may not even like the type of game that their favorite brawl character was from.

>>1491135
Are you male or female?

If you're female and think this it's kind of cute. If you're male then you're the simpson's comic bookstore owner.

My pet peeve is when someone cosplaying a character the same as the anime of your own cosplay decides you are best friends and proceeds to try to follow you the rest of the convention...

Elitist Cosplayers are my pet peeve. Probably explains why I hate 90% of /cgl/

Eh, my peeve is one that isn't really cosplay related but still affects my cosplaying and conventions.

Can't stand people who bitch behind others back. Whether it's about "x's" costume sucking or "x" being a conslut or wtf ever. If I have something to say it will be said to the persons face, damn it.

That's about it though. That's the only thing that can make me misrable, I just roll my eyes at freehuggers and narutards. It's annoying because I try too hard to please everyone and invariably end up failing. Last few cons have been ruined by this. Having different groups of friends doesn't help. I give up now. :O Whatever, I say.

Any sort of drama

>>1490842
jealous much?

>>1491252
THIS. HOLY SHIT, THIS.

>>1491186
>>1491183
>>1491179

Different Anon here than the guy you three are raging at. His analogy is really shit, but I can see where it's coming from, so let me try and rephrase it.

It's not a matter of only seeing one entry in a series and saying their a fan of the entire series, it's seeing something which at best only only drops a few references and saying it.

To give an example, it would be like saying you played Marvel Vs. Capcom and then cosplayed Mega Man because you liked him so much. Yes, Mega Man is one of the characters in it, but there is no fucking detail about anything Mega Man related in the entire game. It is not like you only played one or two games and are being bitched out by people who have played all 20+. You have not played a Mega Man game, period. You do not know anything about the character or the series. Your entire experience with it is in a character cameo. It's equivalent to cosplaying a character because you saw a picture of them and thought they looked cool.

As for my pet peeve, gonna have to go with yaoi bitches. IT'S NOT CUTE TO PRETEND YOU'RE GAY MEN, STOP FLAUNTING YOUR QUEER ASS, OUT-OF-CHARACTER "SHIP" WITH NO BASIS IN CANON.

-Elitist people who raeg at me because I cosplay a decent Iruka from Naruto. I don't care about your 'supar dupar i iz bettar animu dan joo' little shit-fit.
-Most Naruto cosplayers. Seriously. They put on a vest and a band, or just draw marks on their face and try to get all buddy-buddy with my group. I seriously '1,000 years of pain'd a guy because he had a vest over a concert t-shirt and said he was Iruka too. Akatsuki vests and cat ears make me want to strangle someone.
-Misa cosplayers. Ok, seriously. Most of them FAIL so hard, it hurts to look at.
-Obscure anime cosplayers and they're 'do you kno who I is? no? YOU FAIL' little fits. You have got to be kidding me. If you want attention that badly, don't come up to a wiped-out Iruka who is sick of your shit by day 1.

>>1487293
Except you, right?

I have a lot of pet peeves, but they're all pretty minor and not really worth mentioning. Nothing that makes me enraged, just eyeroll things that are probably pet peeves for everyone.

My big one, though?

People who are "in character" when cosplaying, outside of appropriate places.

If you're in a skit, or posing for pictures, things like that -- in character is great, and encouraged. If someone approaches you and addresses you as the character, then it's okay to respond in character. (Example -- sometimes people will come up to me, and quote lines from whatever series I'm cosplaying, and I'll reply in-character briefly, then laugh it off and go back to being a nerd wearing a costume.)

Everything outside of that? Fucking stop it, you don't have to LARP just because you're cosplaying. There's nothing I hate more than not being able to speak to someone because they ARE Sephiroth for the day. I know some people feel it makes their costume better by BEING the character, but it just irritates me to no end when people do it the entire time they're in costume. I've been "run off" from a lot of photoshoots because I couldn't even talk to the other people about anything unless I was speaking to them as their character. BS.

bump

>>1491196
has anyone actually tried cosplaying as comic book guy?

>>1491985

So I take it you don't like UsagiKou very much?

Another wigfag here.
I raged SO HARD yesterday. We were at a Christmas meet up and some chick pulls her inuyasha wig from out of her BACKPACK, throws it on her head with no wig cap, and proceeds to brush it with a normal hair brush (successfully pulling out 1/4 of the fibers). I felt the thing, the fibers were beautiful and it was almost butt length. She just ruined it in one wear. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

>>1492022
My manga guy looks like this.

>>1491985

Hey its alright with the right character. I mean someone running around in character full time as the Doctor or Dan Hibiki is pretty fun to see.

But for most anime characters and grim characters they should never be incharacter save for skits or pictures.

>>1487195
OP pic is my biggest pet peeve. If you're going to put forth the effort to make a horrible girl version of a costume, JUST MAKE THE FUCKING ORIGINAL COSTUME. Don't make something like a girl version because your tard friends told you it would be "OMG SO KAWAII." Fuck.

>>1492045
OK- I'm a newfag when it comes to wigs, but even I knew that stuff is a hell-no.

Anon, what do you think one should do to care for and generally style a wig? please email me.

People who look like they're not even trying. Why cosplay a character if you're only going to go halfway?

Pic related.

- no wigs (when clearly necessary)
- fatties (when their costume is 5 sizes too small)
- elitism (when they're nothing more than mediocre)
- shiny fabric
- butterfaces (unless the character calls for one)
- no posing while picture taking (cause it just ends up looking ridiculous and awkward)
- WILL YAOI FOR MONEY/POCKEY/etc
- FREE HUGS

My biggest pet peeve is Cosplayers who cosplay for a reason other than to have fun.

You cosplay for the attention? Fuck off
You cosplay only to win contests? Fuck off.
You're more concerned with gossip then costumes? Fuck off.

When it comes to taking pictures I hate it when girls do slutty posing when their dressed as a innocent/underage character.

>>1492371
*Poses

>>1491985
Unless, of course, you're actually in the LARP. We tend to go outside of the LARP room and stay in character... but there's always those fucking idiots that don't realize one of the main rules we tell them during LARP opening ceremony - not everyone is LARPing, so don't bother them or act like a jackass in character.

>>1492209
If the costume's well done, I can forgive butterfaces.

crossplayers. Or at least girls who think they can pull off guys but just have WAY too feminine of faces... pretty much same with guys. If a guy think she can pull off a girl but has a really masculine face and features. Or doesn't shave. -.-

>>1492045
Can I ask where this was? Because I was at a meet-up the other day and I saw someone do pretty much exactly what you described.

>>1491159
>>1491159
>>1491159
>>1491159

>>1491159
Uh. That's kinda the purpose of this thread. LRN 2/READ.

I have to say weapons policy, but that's more of a convention peeve I guess.

Still, if less morons ran around waving their guns, maybe cons would relax a little..

/cgl is my pet peeve.

Go have fun and stop worrying what people will think of you.

I hate it when I'm at a convention and I'm in a group/gathering, and people start comparing our outfits out loud. Now, try to look at this from THIS perspective: you're one of the few *gasp!* decent cosplayers who cosplay for fun, not the popularity and/or attention whoring. I'm a humble cosplayer who steers clear from drama and loves nothing more then to converse with another dressed up from the same series, especially the same character.

Now, I *hate* it when people start saying out loud, "I like THAT person's cosplay better" and point to me in front of other cosplayers OF THE SAME CHARACTER. It puts ME on the spot and *I* end up getting dirty looks, like I was purposely trying to be better then everyone else. At a con earlier this year, there was a very rude chick who kept demanding, not asking, for my picture during a gathering. We were doing group photos at the time, so I unable to move about and get her a solo shot just yet. While I'm standing there in a group with people cosplaying as the same character, she keeps LOUDLY proclaiming how I'm "the best" and how BADLY she *needs* my picture, and was bitching about how long I was taking.

Wtf. Not only did she keep attracting attention to me, it made things pretty awkward at the gathering. Oh, and she winded up taking my picture with a shitty little disposable camera; all that whining for THAT.

>>1491985
I disagree to an extent. One of my best cosplay memories was at ConnectiCon (I don't remember what year, it was the one where the con almost fell apart because they didn't have enough money), I was dressed as Ed from FMA and this dealer yells at me "Hey shorty!" and I yelled back "Who's so short that they are the size of a bean that can't be seen?" and we had a good laugh about that. He was actually kind of disapointed that I was the only one who did that

>>1490609
I actually used to be friends with a girl who did something very similar. She kept saying how she hated drama and was just wanting to have fun, then proceeded to yell at a contest judge (I think her friend) demanding to know why she didn't give her an award.

>>1492667
damn, i have to tell ya' I wouldn't have let her take a pic of me after that.
Outside of cons I can be an elitistfag, but at a con i am just happy to see people cosplaying characters from a series i like. I just can't imagine that kind of behavior in front of people you know?

not quite, but i remembered this from an old thread.

I think my biggest pet peeve is when people won't cosplay something because it's been done too much. It doesn't matter how well they could cosplay the character, or how much they like them. They won't touch it if it's popular.

They'll be like 'oh you can do your stupid L cosplay this year, but WE'LL be doing Black Butler. We're cooler because we have a lesser known cosplay.'

Never mind the fact that Black Butler is gonna be huge this year and they may blend in with the crowd more than me.

Hate to disagree with /cgl/ but OP pic isn't all that bad. She says in the description that she has a wig and that the point of the costume was to show off her fake tattoo. Not to mention she's actually cosplayed as Fai (which doesn't completely fail, it seems), so it wasn't a "B'aww, this is too hard", SNJ crossover thing.
I mean, shit, yeah, she doesn't look a thing like Fai and the costume sucks, but I think we can all say we've seen worse. She's, at least, got some pretty good excuses.

Anyway, now that I'm done ranting, I have to say elitists and shitty wigs. And the store-bought cosplayers who think they deserve just as much attention as the ones who spend hours and hours making theirs. Hot Topic Misa and 'Dark Chi' (/Freya) cosplayers.

>>1492769
>She's, at least, got some pretty good excuses.

Just for the hell of it, I clicked on her page again. Lo and behold, the description is now edited.

HI MOONLIGHT_SONATA. :D There's no excuse for your fail; GTFO out of my fandom.

>>1487215
>We were waiting in line when the guy asked for our pictures, and we figured we'd risk not having our wigs on than having them look like total shit from just throwing them on.

>Oh, and I was too lazy to put on my wig, since it was only taken to show a friend who had been bugging me for pics.

lolwut

Lawl, not Sonata. I will admit to tipping her off, though. After I posted. My argument still stands, from what I can see, she just threw some extra support in there.

>>1492961
She needs a fuckton more then a little support.

>>1492769And the store-bought cosplayers who think they deserve just as much attention as the ones who spend hours and hours making theirs.

If they look more like the character than the fatty that sewed her costume then they do deserve more attention.

Final product > Process

>People who cosplay characters and have no idea who they are. Youtube is helpful! Google is helpful! Look it up!
>People who cosplay characters way too young for them and try to look cute doing it.

I actually enjoy cosplaying obscure anime characters, I think its nice when people notice and ask about the character, It isn't that hard to explain.

bump

Lack of wig, fatasses, and "variants" without effort, just a bunch of shit they bought at the mall.

I actually don't mind variants that had thought put into them. But they're so very rare.

Oh, but I almost always hate gender swapping. Infact I've never really seen any I liked.

lazy ass closet cosplayers. i'm willing to forgive a lot in cosplay (inappropriate figures and/or off-colors, to a certain degree), but i just CANNOT STAND when someone throws on something they had in their closet and calls it cosplay. an L takes the time to do the makeup, buy a wig, or even just dye their hair black and style it, and you know what, i'll think it's still pretty lazy, but at least they put a little thought into it. but a longsleeved white shirt and no shoes doesn't make a scrawny blonde girl L, no matter how you slice it!!

so yes - fatties, flatchests, wrong colors, okay.
lazy closet cosplay - not okay.

also, in the lazy cosplay category, i include 'ebay' style costumes that people dont take the time to iron the creases out of after shipping. i can understand if you can't sew, i'm no artisan myself, but at LEAST iron out the godforsaken creases, people!

>>1492713
Yeah, that was part of what I said. What you described is what I meant by:

>If someone approaches you and addresses you as the character, then it's okay to respond in character. (Example -- sometimes people will come up to me, and quote lines from whatever series I'm cosplaying, and I'll reply in-character briefly, then laugh it off and go back to being a nerd wearing a costume.)

The point is that you weren't pretending to BE the character, the ENTIRE time you were in costume. Which is what I hate.

>>1492393
Well, yeah, LARPing is obviously okay if you're doing a LARP. Haha.

>>1492045
That makes me want to cry a little.

>>1492208
This. The other day I was reading a thread somewhere about costume plans for a con and one person gave another person some advice from when they did the costume. The person said something like, "Thanks for the advice, but I don't want it to be perfect or anything." I think he was planning on making it entirely out of cardboard with no effort to conceal that fact.

So yeah, people who don't care that they look like crap.

>>1492713
That's kind of awesome. My roommate is working on Ed right now. I should suggest she work on her "shorty" outbursts.

>>1492971
>I'm untalented but pretty, I WANTS ATTENTION BAWWWWW

mishmash cosplay, like where someone starts with something cognitive then they load up on contrash until they just stupid.

Crossplay, I have no idea why alot of girls have this compulsive need to dress as boys and act like fags

>>1496438
And the world will give it to me. Enjoy your cheeseburger.

I also don't know why Vocaloid cosplay got so popular, it's a synthesizer programme for fuck sake.

Shitty shitty Lolita pricks who think their better then everyone else. They're the assholes that make me ashamed to be a cosplayer.

>>1496472
dude i noticed that at ausa...maybe it was the fact i was crossdressing but when we walked by the didnt look at us and i was looking directly at them...bitches XD

>>1496450
I can understand the dressing as guys thing, considering fairly often the males have better/ less revealing outfits than the females.

But it's the "yaoi" bullshit that angers me.

>>1496481
i dressed like a girl and the girls in my room attacked me XD oh they cant wait till im 18 XD

hair, its peoples fucking hair. Some people can pull off the whole trendy asian hairstyle that you see fucking everywhere. But other people seem to think that the moar hair gel you have dripping off your head, the better its going to turn out. FUCK!
actually there are a lot more things, most of them posted already though. >>

>>1490121
wtf is this XD he has some guts

>>1492769
well if it looks good it looks good no arguing and its not like random con goers is gonna automatically know "oh shit he bought that from a store"

>>But it's the "yaoi" bullshit that angers me.

and the fact that they think they are being original by kissing each other. damn YOWWEEEE fans

>>1496450

I'm a female and I promised myslef that I would never cross dress,
but I really want to go as Ciel from Kuroshitsuji
-________________-

>>1496671
I think you could get away with Ciel, he LOOKS that much like a girl anyway.. If ere tlkng about the same character

>>1496671
...is there a particular reason you want to avoid crossdressing?

For a while I refused to do anything BUT because I was convinced that I wasn't girly enough to pull off a female character well, but who the hell cares in the end? x.x

JUST DO EET

>>1496679

because I see so many other girls crossing dressing and it looks ridiculous,
and they only do it for yaoi or to be KYAAAA, KAWAAAAIII~!

-____________-

>>1496679

^ cross dressing

>>1496688
As long as your not Axel, Roxas, Sora, Riku or L people won't mind if you crossplay. JUST DON'T MAKE IT A REGULAR HABIT

>>1496688

lulz, I wouldn't do any of those.
I don't really class L as cosplaying either
-_-

>>1496688

yaoi and Kyyaaa kawaiiiii MY ASS. I like Shonen series better and fuckall if you can find cool female that isn't either token princess or token fanservice character. Fuck that.

I'd rather cosplay somebody who shoots guns and stabs bitches without their boobs falling out of their shirt

>>1491135

You're an idiot.

another pet peeve of mine is similar to the Misa and Hot Topic debate.

Girls who think that if they throw together any outfit that has lace and or frills = Princess Ai. Really, She has about 10 different RECOGNIZABLE outfits throughtout the series. Put some effort in and make one of those. Ai is probably one of the most hot topiced/ closet cosplayed characters.

another thing, don't make any stupid crossovers such as: FEMALE NARUTO, GOTHIC LOLITA SASUKE. There are plenty of female characters to cosplay..

>>1496692
Axel crossplays are my favourite duude

>>1492659
>>1492659
>>1492659
>>1492659

But SnJ! Some of that's been done very right!

those stupid fucking crossovers

STOP TURNING MALE CHARACTERS INTO GIRLS

i like SnJ done properly. none of that slutty cotton-cloud shit

I crossplay but only cause i aint the skinniest girl in the world. Im not exactly killer-whale size but i certainly don't have the body to pull off some of the female outfits hence why i choose to dress as guys - i'd rather put up with binding and crossdressing for the day than have my arse hanging out of a miniskirt only to be ripped to shreds on /cgl

Fuck yeah! I dont crossplay for the 'zomg i get to kiss teh bishies kawaii desu ne ka baka sugoi inane wapanese"
I do it for the weapons >:B

I guess I'll add onto the crossplay thing. I love crossplaying when it's done well (Zolo!), but when females don't care to bind themselves or when males don't care to disguise their package it irritates me. After all, I don't want to see boobs on Guy Cecil and I don't want Sakura to look like she has more down south than she's supposed to.

Being a DD, I completely understand that some women can only bind themselves to a certain extent. But I just wish they would crossplay characters that just didn't show their chest area if they want to crossplay that much.

Since it's Cosplay & EGL...

Feeding the "baaw all lolitas are elitists"-cliche, but: I hate people that are into shows like Death Note, then join our local lolita meet-ups wearing a crappy Misa cosplay with striped armwarmers and fishnet tights, since "Misa is rori desu, right? XD"

I love cosplay, but I don't think you should mix it with any alternative fashion/subculture/anything if you don't know EXACTLY what you're doing.

Raver Sailormoon? "Steampunk version" of [insert character]? You don't know shit about cosplay AND fashion, please gtfo both my fandoms.

Still raging when girls use bras for bikini tops. It's very fucking apparent that it's a bra, no matter how well you try to conceal it. Stop it.

Pic very related. Looking at you there Kana.

agree! Unless the fashion somewhat ties in with the character and you actually no something about the fashion, dont attempt it.
Was in work yesterday and some girl came in in her pre-tween goth shit with a pink wig and naruto headband on; told me she was goth-Sakura.....NO!
You are an attention seeking goff who was a month late for the only con in Scotland and couldnt be bothered making a costume.

Oh god thank you! I don't wear Lolita but I know Lolita and I make Lolita.... I swear every time I see a Misa in her Hottoppic dress and a pair of pigtails I rage. Though mostly on the inside. *sigh* Had three friends mistaken for Misa Cosplayers at Otakon.
