If it's a friend of yours who's getting into a series because you like it, I don't see how that could make anyone rage. It's like hearing about a good place to eat from someone, and trying it out for yourself.

Anyways, what makes me rage more then anything is people who go 'BAW THEY'RE COPYING ME' when someone they know does the same costume/character.

For fuck's sake, no one's copying you. Get off your high horse; ever think maybe someone actually LIKES that character/design and you're just over sensitive?

>>1728004
Reminds me of someone I know. Bitch will whine and moan when she finds out someone's gonna do the same character as her and gets all pissed off if any of her friends mentions that they want to do the same character.

What pisses me off is having a friend who completely ignores me until she wants us all to do a group cosplay together.

She suddenly goes from someone with her away message up constantly to bombarding me with links, texts, and pictures for a costume I'm not THAT crazy about for a series I haven't even played. And then throws on the guilt trip like hell if I try to decline, because we've always said that a group cosplay would be fun.

Oh, and it's for fucking A-kon, which half our group won't even be at anyway.

>>1728004
>If it's a friend of yours who's getting into a series because you like it, I don't see how that could make anyone rage.

Have you ever had someone who suddenly develops an interest in everything you like? Every show, every game, every band, EVERYTHING? Even things they previously claimed they didn't like? Yeah... It goes beyond uncomfortable and well into RAGE territory.

>>1728075
Ahh, fair enough. I guess that'd get annoying.

>>1728057
That's not a friend.

>>1728057
I hate it when a person doesn't contact you until they need something done (prop, clothing, etc). I have a friend in this situation now unfortunately.

I'm sick of seening Miyu's fucking face.
HOLY SHIT! She updated her myspace gais!

>>1728057

Oh my god... are you me? I'm also going to A-kon, and I have the same damn problem. Half the time I end up getting my costume partially done, and then they DROP the whole cosplay. So I wasted money on a cosplay I wasn't all too excited to do, and now won't do because there is no group. Ugh. Such rage.

>>1727990
This. But only when they want to cosplay before they've read/watched/played the series. When I first got into MTNN, my friend (if you can call her that) refused to read it "because the art is so ugly". But when she saw the fan opening, she wanted to cosplay X/Sai, and went as far to say: "I call dibs on that cosplay. If you let anyone else cosplay him I'll kill you. xDDDD Lol!" She refused to read it... and then called "dibs" on a character she wasn't suited for in the first place? Yeah. I raged.

When my friend HAS to cosplay something from the same series, even if they don't want to, so "We can match!" Then at con, whines that he wants to wear this one, but he can't cos you're wearing that one. And "We don't match!"

>>1728212
And baw until you make a costume to match their series, even if you don't want to.

Word got out that I'm a nerd who cosplays. Now my weeaboo friends, their weeaboo friends, my siblings' weeaboo friends, and sometimes random weeaboos I don't even know will come up to me and ask if I'll make them costumes. It's flattering, but I don't have the time nor am I confident enough in my ability to make a costume for another person. I don't do commissions. I. Don't. Do. Commissions. I'm fucking sick of telling people that.

Since I'm terrible at deciding cosplays, my friends often rope into their 'cosplay' groups (which is basically closet cosplay) but then they change their minds like, a week before the con since they aren't actually spending time or money on their cosplays. I end up with a partially finished cosplay. Most of the time I finish it off and lol when I get many more compliments on my costume by myself than their cruddy group closet cosplay.

Since my family and friends found out I could sew and saw the quality of my cosplays (granted, they took FOREVER to make), I'm constantly bombarded with people wanting me to make them this and that, mostly stuff like couch slipcovers, and then they try to lowball me with pay because OH WE'RE FRIENDS/FAMILY. No, bitch. Pay me.

Chicks playing normally heterosexual male characters in an overtly homosexual manner pisses me off.

>>1728293
Or people wanting you to pose for gay pictures when you're dressed like a heterosexual male, cos OMG Yoai!!

I've got a list of cgl/cosplay things that piss me off. Enjoy.

1. People who cosplay a character not knowing anything about the character. For fucks sake, if you're going to pour over $50 into a costume, you best know who the character is and have at least some appreciation for the character.

2. People who think that what they cosplay is better than what a different group of people cosplay. I've been seeing this a lot lately, especially from /co/splayers where some of you think that you're somehow better than anime/manga cosplayers. You all bitch when someone says that they're bringing an anime cosplay to a comic convention, yet you turn around and talk about how awesome it is to see /co/splay at anime cons. Get over it. You're a fucking nerd just like the rest of us.

3. Caramelldansen. I've gotten used to it, but thats what makes me rage. i shouldn't have to get used to this faggotry. Put some fucking effort into your dances. Hare hare yukai and The luck star dance? Overdone, but hey, they took the time to learn it.

continues to next post

4. /b/ shit at cons. I don't think I need to elaborate on this one. I as of now would have more respect for a furry gaiafag who draws disproportinal yaoi between sasuke and naruto and post emo shit on their myspace and livejournal than i do your average /b/tard. The furry gaiafag might be a completely obnoxious dipshit, but hey, at least they aren't a completely obnoxious dipshit who thinks they are better than everyone else.

5. Ok, it seems like most of you mostly attend anime conventions. For god sakes, it wont kill you to watch some anime, read some manga, play some vidya etc. Most of you on /cgl/ seem like you've seen less anime than a gaia user who just learned what anime was 2 months ago. If you're an anime con regular, then study up on your stuff. Then you'll also know a lot more characters, and so you'll have a much bigger store of characters to choose from. It would be nice to see some more diversity in the characters people cosplay. Now I'm not saying everyone on this board needs to go watch 100+ anime, but it would be nice to see some of you anime con goers go watch something obscure and cosplay from it. And WHATEVER you do, DO NOT bash someone for knowing their shit about their fandom. As long as you're a con-goer, you're a nerd just like they are. (Im using mostly anime as an example in this because it seems to be the most underdone on /cgl/ between vidya, manga, and everything else)

continued to next post

6. This ones more for the socially inept people at the con. When you're at a con and introducing yourself to someone, don't go on a boring rant about how kids beat you up a school for liking anime and how many milligrams of adderal you're on. It seems like 1 out of 4 people I talk to just want to talk about how shitty their life is and how shitty everyone outside the con treats them.

7. All of you fuckers in the cosplay community who think they deserve special attention for being bisexual, lesbian or gay. It drives more of a line between Homosexuality and Heterosexuality, which is what the rest of the Homosexual supporting population is against. It's like the black people who excpect them to be treated exactly as white people then they want all these special "black history days and months". It's hypocritical, but more than anything it's really fucking annoying.

I could go on, but I'll stop here

>>1728004
not a friend, more like someone who you don't like and who you know doesn't like you. And only cosplays from it after you post it online, tell someone, whatever that you're cosplaying from it. it's happened more than once

>>1728324
Um, have you been to /cgl/ recently? Most of /cgl/ers cosplay anime all the time
>>1728320
>I've been seeing this a lot lately, especially from /co/splayers where some of you think that you're somehow better than anime/manga cosplayers.

You're a fucking nerd just like the rest of us.
This shit is the other way around.

I hope I was just troll'd.

>>1728344
In most progress threads, all I see are stuff from obscure JRPGs nobody played or a shounen manga that everyone has cosplayed from. and there is no way that is the other way around, since /co/ was hijacked by /b/'s 2008 crowd they've become the most fail board on 4chan because they think they are so much higher above the rest of the 4chan community. Now, i have nothing but respect for the real /co/merades, but most of you fuckers are just there because you're following the rest of the failboat nerd community.

People who use costumes to be as obvious as they can to try and get close to their crushes when their crushes are in long-term relationships. It's creepy.

Tom Croom pisses me the fuck off.

Anyone who's not truthful about why they're doing any given thing. There's a lot of this in the cosplay community.

Example 1: Heterosexual middle class nerd girl dresses in skimpy cosplay, clearly knows jack-all about the character, takes photos pretending to make out with other girls, does everything in her power to force people to take notice of her, and then turns around and says she doesn't care about attention and really she doesn't see what all the fuss is about. If you're gonna be an attention whore, just own up to it.

Example 2: Pathetic nerd has a crush on his friend, dedicates all his time to and spends all his money on cosplaying characters she likes, gets one hug out of it, realises it will never go further, then goes all "pfft, trying to get in her pants? Nah bro" to save face. If you want to get out the friend zone, stop lying to her and yourself and own up.

Example 3: tripfags and wannabe 'famous' cosplayers posting on here and cos.com about how they don't understand why people assume X about them, but then they keep on posting proving whatever X is and pander to the trolls. If you want to be the next Adella or Yaya just say so, it's pathetic but it's even more pathetic when you pretend you don't want the 'fame' while everyone can clearly see it anyway.

>>1728383
I've used costumes to get a guy's attention before, and it worked like a charm. Didn't interfere in anything longterm, though. Just pissed off a couple girls he was casually dating.

>>1728417
Except in this case, the crush is getting married to her fiance in less than a month and is way too old for this creep.

>>butterface

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Makes me rage every time one of you fuckers say "Great body but she's butterface, hurrhurrrduuuuuhhhhrrrr...."

Smash your fucking face against a wall. Then you'll get butter.

>>1728436
Okay, now that's different.

>>1728446
It means "her body's great, but her face...."
ButHerFace=BUTTERFACE.

>>1728470
i consider "Butterface" to be chubby faced people

to each their own though, girls with nice bodies, but ugly faces, i jus say "paper bagger"

>>1728480
What you 'consider' means jack shit. 'Butterface' is a girl with a hot body but an ugly face. Always has been.

>>1728162
No, I think you're ME. I've got BOTH of those friends. She's only REALLY pulled out on me in a pair cosplay once or twice, but you learn the warning signs pretty fast. When someone can't sew, doesn't want to come to the fabric store, and sits in the corner reading during sewing gatherings...

Well, it's time to find a new partner.

I dont like people who take their cosplay as serious business. Cosplay is an escape from normality and allows a person to be imaginative and pretend once again. People bringing drama are just being silly

and yet....here I am....on /cgl/...

people who combine multiple characters in an non-ironic manner, then think they are awesome and unique, or ad cat ears and a tail to everything.

for example the guy who told me that he was cosplaying the spy from TF2, some yayoi character, and then added cat fox ears+tail.

People who go to conventions and act like they're above everyone else. Anyone who looks at them is a creep, and anyone who dares talk about their fandom out loud is a loser nerd. Of course, these people "don't really like anime", they're just there "for their friends", yet they spend all their time looking for people to take pictures of them.

It is driving me up the walls. Especially when my friends do it.

Yeah, those people over there doing caramelldansen and talking loudly about anime might be a bit obnoxious, but I'll tell you what. They're probably having a hell of a lot more fun than you, and I'd rather hang with them and have a good laugh, not taking myself seriously, instead of being an elitist bitch and standing around commenting on the "losers" and "freaks".

You're a nerd too. Cut that shit or leave.

>>1728664
Thisthisthis.

>>1728383

As in trying to dress as a character to match whatever your doing? Or them offering to make your costumes to get close to you? If it's the first tell them you'd rather do a cosplay pairing with your gf because that would be romantic and it just wouldn't be the same doing it with your FRIEND instead. If it's them offering to help you make your cosplays and it's that uncomfortable for you then tell them you would rather do the costume on your own. You are using them if you know what the persons intentions are. So you only have yourself to blame if it becomes uncomfortable for you. If you are o.k.with misleading them to get what you want then you you hardly have the right to bitch that they are creeping you out.

When people cosplay something they're not familiar with and don't do ANY research. I've met people who just liked the character design and decided to do the cosplay...which is one thing, but then they don't even like, Wiki the character to check out their info. I've ran into people that don't even remember their character's name. It's even worse when they do it just because it's popular or skimpy.

Lolitas who go to anime cons and then bitch about OMG lolita's not cosplay.

>>1728691
Man you would hate hate HATE ai-honey

While it usually doesn't make me REAG, it irks me when a large amount of people mess up the same part of a costume.

I.E.: Daisy's hair is not dark brown and curly. Its red with a flip.

>>1728700
I understand this to a level. Lolita is fashion, not cosplay. Yes, it's as flashy as costuming sometimes, but it's not cosplay.

>>1728704
Leave my waifu alone. You wouldn't care about her short comings if you got to do things with her I do

>>1728708

Her... hair.. isn't ... red... It may have reddish tones but that shit is still brunette.

People who act like they are elitists, but overall suck at cosplay.

auburn

>>1728725
This... and they buy their costumes or rely completely on their friends to make the costumes.

>>1728704
You're assuming I already don't.

>>1728720

I'm sorry, what?

When somebody actually has a decent costume and looks good in it...
And they put themselves down.

Seriously. Have some fucking confidence.

>>1728734
Not previously in this dumbass argument, but the fucking hair is brown. Auburn at most. Adjust your fucking monitor and stop making yourself look like a dipshit.

>>1728757

Oh, you. :3

>>1728767
Also brown.
Stfu and stop derailing the thread now.

>>1728075
>>1728057
Sup gais

I'l be in my Hunter thompson costume

Say hi if you see me, lulz.

In general something that really grinds my gears is when people make assumptions about me or think they have me all figuired out. On the cosplay side of things it's got to be the people who go COSPLAY ISN'T SRS BZNS. LOL. whenever they are irresponsible and flake out.

It doesn't matter if this shit is just for fun. Whenever you make promises, plans, and go into something knowing it's going to take a lot of time, money, and effort with all the parties who get involved you need to follow through and if you can't take fucking responsiblity, apologize, and don't act like those of us who get upset at your flaky attitude don't have the right to be at least a little bit upset. It's totally shitty to not only not get an apology but to be made out to be the one who takes this stuff to "seriously".

>>1728767

Yeah. The hairs deff. brown. wtf.

>>1728769

Says the person who just HAD to chime in when they weren't even in the argument to be with. That's cute. <3

>>1728057
>>1728162
Speaking of A-kon,
A-kon pisses me off.

But I'm not going this year so I'll save myself the headache and stupidity.

>>1728767

gtfo of here with your emoticons.

The hair is BROWN you dumb cunt.

Also, yes- red was the wrong word for me to use, but the point of my post was just that her hair isn't the dark brown that everyone uses.

So whatever. Continue.

Girls who dress up as a heterosexual male character and go to a con just to take Yaoi pictures with other type cosplayers, then bitch and whine and scream "GOD! WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I'M A LESBIAN!??!!1!!" at people when pictures pop up of them on the internet.
Also, girls who can't seem to cosplay anything BUT heterosexual males for the sake of taking Yaoi pictures.

>>1728057
This. Especially when costume trying to press on you is fucking ugly.

>>1728776

Do us all a favor. Stupid whore bag. Go get a box of crayons and see which one matches up with the images of Daisy you are posting up here the most. I am certain you will find the color is called terra cotta or burnt ochre which are both shades of BROWN. NOW GTFO OUT OF HERE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOUR TALKING ABOUT AND IF I COULD REACH THROUGH THE MONITOR AND SKULL RAPE YOU WITH DAISY'S BASEBALL BAT I WOULD.

>>1728792

Don't you have school tomorrow?

Getting glomped out of nowhere.

Since it's con-related...

SACANIME ART TABLES. NOW AT $60. FUCKING HELL. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WHY. How the fuck can you seriously justify that outrageous a price for such a tiny con? Yeah, it's got a new location and all, but it's far from anything near Fanime or AX levels. Charging the same amount for a con that's a fraction of that size is just fucking infuriating. Even $40 is pushing it. Godfuckingdamn.

>>1728792

Amazing how she is up on her high horse raging about people who can't get *colors* right isn't it? She's right up there with the faggots who keep insisting James from Team Rocket's hair is blue when it's LILAC. Fuck people. Adjust the tint on your monitors and/or T.V. screens already.

>>1728674
In this case, it would be a 15 year old boy cosplaying as loveinterestx to an engaged 24 year old girl cosplaying as hotfemalex. He has tried to get others to make the loveinterestx costume for him and has told the girl's friends he foresees 15x24 pics together. That's right, not interestxfemale, but 15x24. 24 and her friends have told 15 off many times, even resorting to threatening physical violence. He still does not pick up that he is not wanted in any sexual manner. In fact, he invited himself to one of 24's photoshoots with her girl friends yesterday and is trying to make it to her wedding at the end of this month, even though he was not invited. It is more of your first reason of trying to match the cosplay, but in a creepy teleiophilic way.

>>1728804
This!
I once spent months beading a CLAMP outfit to wear to the next con and was so proud of it. I wouldn't let anyone touch me unless they were careful and didn't have anything that could get caught on me, and everyone was fine with it and took pictures instead. Half way through the day some guy wearing a Hot Topic zipper jacket came up with his idiot friends and without asking tried to hug me. I told him politely "No, I'm sorry you might get caught on me..." and he called me a bitch an left. 15 minutes later, the fucker glomps me, knocks me over and rips half the beads off the front and side of my dress. Months of work destroyed in 5 seconds and all he could say was "Maybe next time you won't be such a stuck up cunt."

>>1728819
...I would have stabbed him in the carotid artery.

I hate when people who have the same costume as you can't see it as enjoying the same fandom and having something in common and only seeing it an an obvious smite on their part. There have been multiple occasions where I have had the audacity to have the same costume (sometimes better, sometimes worse, sometimes equally made) as someone else and you would swear I beat their mother with an aborted fetus. What's worse is when you tell them that you appreciate their cosplay and are happy they like the show/manga/videogame as well and they flippantly brush you off or are straight up rude. Get over yourself and make this about fun again you cunts!

>>1728810
>raging
...did you even READ my original post? I said it doesn't make me rage.

Also, what makes you assume I'm a girl?

Also, >>1728785

>>1728819
did you report him to con security?
He should have had his badge pulled for shit like that.

>>1728708
>>1728720
>>1728734
>>1728767
>>1728776
>>1728785
I'd call it auburn; a half-way tone between brunette and red.

>>1728826
Yes, they kicked him out of the con and banned him from coming the next year.

>>1728827

Which was what I was going for, I just worded myself wrong. I'm done now.

>>1728819
That's when murder is allowed and understood. Also, advised.

I hate it when my friends do this big group, I'm not a part of it, but I get more pictures for my solo costume, and, while most of them are cool with it, there's this one girl who just RAGES and makes it her business to do whatever attention whoring she can to get more pictures.

Cosplay is not all about getting your picture taken. It's for FUN! It's not about who got more pictures taken!

I don't give two shits if I get 1 or 100 pictures taken, it's not a good con if I didn't enjoy myself and have fun hanging out with my friends.

>>1728832

Good. Sorry about your costume.

>>1728817

Yuuucck. omg. I hate when you are very clear and honest and practically spell it out for someone and they still don't. get. it. In that case I feel for you and don't really know what else to tell you because I've been in that situation before where they just don't get it. I've also been dealing with a lot of "friends" lately though who smile to your face and tell you everythigns o.k. about something and then whine and complain and gossip about whatever the problem is to mutual friends who then carry back how the REALLY feel to me. So I have to admit I worried your anon. post might have been about me originally and that's why I wanted details. I have a friend who I'm helping make a cosplay for who has a gf so when I saw that I was like WTF. YOU BETTER NOT BE TALKING ABOUT ME. I'm doing this as a favor to you and because I like the character just as much as you do! RAAAEEGGG! because I'm on edge just waiting to hear who I offended or gave the wrong impression to without knowing it next.

Ohhh.. Now there's something that makes me raeg. How much ego seems to be involved when it comes to (not all but) the majority of cosplayers out there. The amount of entitlement complex's and expectations thrown around with this hobbey is gag inducing at times. FUCK.

>>1728714
To me it's the same as star wars cosplay at an anime con. Not related-but people want to do it anyway.

>>1728825

because you post like a 14 year old little girl. :)

>>1728840
It's all good anon. We all have to vent somehow! Good luck with all that jazz.

>>1728827

Proof that you are both right and both need to STFU already.

>>1728846
>because you post like a 14 year old little girl.
>:)

I hate it when a person, esp a cosplayer gets your character wrong when they ask you who you are.
[OMG! ARE YOU "such and such" FROM "such and such"] for example...

>>1728853

You remind me of this video I found on youtube...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QTnRKF6QPM

>>1728860

If you cosplayed it good enough for them to actually identify you properly you wouldn't have that problem you know?

One of the only things that pisses me off is this twilight shit. Vampires DON'T sparkle. They DON'T fall in "love" and protect you. You know what they will do?? Rip your heart out of your chest hang you upside down and drain all your blood out of your body to drink for sustenance. It makes me RAGE so hard that this book/movie (I use those terms very loosely) are teaching at least 2 generations of kids this shit.
Thank you for the vent.

>>1729886
I hate people that think that uber violent, dark vampires = THE ONLY VAMPIRES POSSIBLE. They're not real. They can be pretty much whatever someone wants them to be.

Oops I guess the Count from the Count and Mina isn't a real vampire, he's actually a pretty nice guy.

>>1729892
Yes but does he sparkle?

>>1729892
I think the main issue most people have is that it deviates so far from traditional vampire lore that it doesn't even seem like the same creature.

Of course since they're not real, there will be differences. Some are evil monsters that kill humans mercilessly, others have a conscious and do their best to not kill humans, some are killed by a steak to the heart, others with silver bullets, others are warded off with garlic or crosses. But I don't think I've ever known of a vampire who didn't have to fear the sun (unless they were a half-breed or one of ridiculous power) and from what I read in another thread, the twilight vampires don't even have fangs? wtf? Those aren't vampires. They're sparkly people who live forever and like the taste of blood, but don't drink it. And they go to high school because they're bored. wtf?

>>1729900
With a body glitter launcher, anyone can sparkle, even Nemesis.

>>1729892
Fool! You forget the greatest vampire of all!

>>1729927
Oh, go _______ some more, you _______ing _______er.

>>1729927
Nope, he's not a real vampire. He isn't grimdark enough.

>>1729892
This. I hate Twilight just as much as everyone else, but saying that a fictional creature has to be THIS, THIS and THIS in order to count is pretty ridiculous.

Your interpretation of a myth is different than someone else's, baaaaaaw

>>1728374
Yeah... sorry about that.

>>1729930
>>1729928

>>1729892
This. Twilight vampires are really... dumb, for lack of a better word, but just because they're not ripping out hearts and bathing in blood doesn't make them not vampires. There are so many variations on what a vampire is/isn't, there is no "one" way they have to be.

>>1728708
lol you sure you're not color blind or something?

Having a hard time admitting you were wrong even when everyone else disagreed with you I see. Feel free to slap yourself.

This may be dumb, but I'm annoyed by cosplay that's inappropriate for the convention. Anime con to me means anime, video games, and things relating to Japan. Not Harry Potter, Twilight, etc.

>>1728792
>>1728827
As someone with red hair, that looks like red hair to me. Unless you're talking about the color red and not what hair actually looks like.

>>1729892

Don't forget Arc.

1) how every vampire thing is now instantly compared to Twilight
2) how my "friend" will say something I want/am planning to do is great/good idea then gets it/does it then claims to be 100% original (this includes copying a tattoo that I've had for years and when she met me was all "omg I love that so much" then got it done just a year or so ago)
3) fat Kagome's and their freakishly tall, ugly, skinny Inuyasha boyfriends

>>1728873
I think >>1728860 was referring to the people who can't recognize older/obscurer series and can only name popular ones. Example: one year while dressed as Juri from Utena, I was asked if I was Kairi from Kingdom Hearts.

>>1728873

Uhh... except when you're cosplaying Badou Nails in his camouflage coat and get asked if you're Asch from Tales of the Abyss. Please look at the image and tell me how those two look anything alike.

It pisses me off when people say "durr hurr, do a better job at cosplaying". Sometimes people don't know a certain series and take a wild guess/say a popular character on the off chance they might be them (I had a friend who cosplayed Ororon. Someone asked her if she was cosplaying Sanji). Sometimes characters look similar to one another. Sometimes people are just plain stupid, and it doesn't matter how accurate your cosplay is.

Not >>1728860 but this annoys me just as much.

Liberal cosplayers, the are rude and odd. I make this generalization because as far as I can tell, the Northern conventions have most of the drama, while most of the southern ones don't. Now some of you may argue that there are quite a lot of dramatic southern conventions, but that's because despite popular belief, there are liberal hotspots in the south. Also, most of the bad cosplayers I come across are liberals or kids (I know they're liberals because they call me a bigot and a hypocrite when I tell them to put some clothes on).

>>1730318
As long as you don't enter the masquerade, I don't give a damn what you wear. I especially think cartoon cosplays are cute, you don't see those as frequently.


Groups piss me off. They're impossible to organize, and full of fail and drama. Planning to be part of a small group at Otakon, and crosing my fingers that it won't fall apart. As stupid as it sounds, I just like hanging out with people dressed in costumes from the same series as me.

I think the real problem here is that everywhere in this country outside california sucks.

Dumb cunts who use cosplay as an excuse to walk around in public in barely more than their underwear. Most of them also complain about conventions, don't give a shit about anime/manga/games/comics and they're also often the bitches that kick up the most drama. If you get off on people looking at your tits, go be in porn. Stop shitting up our conventions with your shit.

'insta-friends/stalkers' at cons. Last D*C I went to some fat ugmo guy comes up and starts talking to me. I thought I made it pretty clear I wasn't interested and I barely even acknowledged him but later he came to me a couple of times during the con acting like we were best friends suddenly. On the last night I was having a drink with my real friends and he came up and straight-up says to me in front of anyone "okay I'm bored let's go back to my room now".

Just because we're at the same con doesn't mean I want to talk to you, let alone suck on your penis. Get away from me fatass.

>>1730441
Anime in general is a pretty liberal-dominated hobby. Many conservative taboos are part of the fabric of anime convention culture. Honestly, you really shouldnt be at anime conventions if you feel very strongly about your views that conflict with the anime con enviroment. And con drama does not come from politics or political views, it comes from jealousy, lack of common sense, and relationships and failing at them.

U.S. geography. Learn it.

how boring and repetitive cons get. I love people dressing up and being dorky, but being too serious about is what makes it boring and repetitive.


I don't come to cons to see the whole entire world people drama being miniaturized to a con.

Of course unless, I control it.

Twilight?
speaking of hanging you upside down and draining all the blood from you...
Go watch the better vampire movie "Let the right one in". Its way more mature film than Twilight...and the lead actors aren't even in high school yet.

Best vampire movie, imo. Swedish flick, so you'll have to endure subtitles.

Really? News to me.
>>1730852
I think that's a man.

>>1730860
Technically, its two spaces. But most people only use one space.

>>1730749

http://www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/let_the_right_one_in/

http://webword.com/reports/period.html

"The only reason that two spaces were used after a period during the 'typewriter' age was because original typewriters had monospaced fonts -- the extra space was needed for the eye to pick up on the beginning of a new sentence. That need is negated w/proportional space type, hence [it is] the typographic standard."

>>1730862
Person who posted that.

Yeah. Most only use one space, but originally, on a typewriter, there were two. People just started dropping one, it seems. I was always tought to put two when I learned to type in the early '90's. The internet can't even seem to decide, I just did a google search because of the response questioning said statement.

Regardless, mess self-righteous tl;dr up there needs to learn to put spaces there, and needs to learn NOT to put her spaces before the comma for whatever fucking reason.

Funky people at the con is the one thing that pisses me off more than anything posted in this thread.

For fucks sake Learn2Shower at least once a day people.

My list:

1.) People who procrastinate like nobodies business, no I would NOT like to work on my costume in the hotel room Jesus Christ!

2.) "LAWLS I'M L MY COSTUMES AWESOME."

3.) Friends who never want to do ANYTHING at the con except sitting around. Why even pay to get in? I mean really.

4.) Friends who obviously aren't that interested and just come because they "had nothing better to do" and then they're continuously rude to every person there...Seriously it makes people think our whole group is made up of ass holes and then no one wants to talk to us.

Thank you for the chance to vent.

Elitists.

Wow, I have a similar friend. Two, actually. It's really frustrating. I feel for you, Anon.

Peeves:
-Talentless fucks who think they're God's gift to the hobby
-Fatasses in skimpy outfits
-People with followers/lemmings, with the combined IQ of a shrew
-Anonymii who bitch about people they've probably never met before, just because they can (also, Anons who go like "Hi ___" cuz they think they've spotted someone through their anonymity. YER SO CYOOT. No, fuck off, you stupid shits. Most of the time you're wrong anyway.)
-Coscommers who don't put keywords into their photos or galleries so I can find their shit again later for whatever reason
-People who name their kids after goddamn fictional characters, and said names aren't something you can get by with in society without someone questioning it
-People that are complete slobs at conventions. You know the ones. They unpack their shit ALL over the room, they make a total pit out of the bathroom, they lose their crap all the time and they're always the one that can't find stuff when you need to check out.
-Babies at conventions. I don't give a flying goddamn fuck how 'placid' you think your infant is...if that kid doesn't speak yet, don't fucking bring it to a noisy convention.
-Hotels trying to sell regular food at insane prices.
-Water bottles in hotel rooms. $7 for that damn thing? What if some fucker opens it and doesn't know about the fee?
-Anyone, ANYONE who enters an award-winning costume into multiple contests. Once you've won something, retire the outfit from the stage at least. I don't care if you think you'll never win anything again...you've already gotten recognized for the thing, go work on something new. God help you if you DO win another award or two with the same outfit...goddamn prize-whore.
-Cash4gold.com commercials

>>1731994
I'll agree with most of those, but I couldn't care less about multiple awards for a costume (to a point at least) If you worked really hard on something, why NOT try to win stuff for it?

>>1728004 If it's a friend of yours who's getting into a series because you like it, I don't see how that could make anyone rage.

I know what you mean; but if you can't do ANYTHING without your "friend" immediatly copying you it gets really annoying.

"omfg you have a sewing machine? can you make me a pretty sparkling princess-y prom dress, or that green dress Rihanna wears in that one video?"

"You know, fabric costs money and-"

"you mean you want me to PAY for it? what do you mean five bucks isn't enough? it's not like you're DOING anything, you just have to, you know, switch on your sewing machine and, eeeeh... but I want it! I don't have to pay you because you're my bestest friend, right? PLEEEEEZE!!!"

And that from girls who normally never, ever talk to me.

>>1728819
I hope something like this never happens to me, because for me it would probably mean jail... I know this sounds pretty much 'internet tuff guy lolz!1', but I would have killed that asshole if I could find something heavy or sharp near me. I've beaten people for lesser reasons.

peeves from a photographer and spectator

- Closet cosplayers who expect me to recognize them and take photos of them. How am I susposed to know who you are? I'm not wasting my film on you if you're just gonna slap on something from Hot Topic and tell me you're Princess Ai or Misa

- People who don't put any effort in. For god sake, buy a wig

- Fatties who look like shit and think they are the best thing since sliced bread

- There are only so many Narutos Sasukes and Ichigos I want to photograph. 1 of each is enough. If you miss out, you miss out.

- seeing thousands of cosplayers from whatever new anime is sweeping the anime world

- 'Famous' cosplayers. I have no idea who they are!

While I cosplay, I also take pictures of cosplayers at cons.
One thing that bothers me are;

Cosplayers who NEVER pose. Wont even smile if you ask if you can take a picture.

There are people who have pretty faces and hot bodies. People who can sew pretty well. People who are awesome artists. Sometimes they are all of the above.
Just because this person has talents does NOT mean he/she person is automatically a stuck-up asshole. Don't spread rumours about him/her if you've never met this person. Saying hello on a con, taking a photo or getting something signed from this person DOES NOT COUNT. Don't confuse "shy" with "doesn't want to talk to me because he/she hates her fans, baaaw!".
"But she has such an arrogant face in her photos" isn't evidence.
Also stop believing shit you read on the internet.


Eurofag here; just in case someones says "lol are you Miyu". I'm not popular or anything; but I've taken the time to befriend some semi-popular cosplayers and comic artists and I'm so very tired of all the ridiculous bullshit that's surrounding them. popular and/or talented != elitist asshole

Wanna know what makes me rage? People who try hug you. All I can and will say is... FUCK YOU! I DO NOT KNOW YOU AND DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO HUG YOU, YOU FREAK!!!

>>1732037

Some people don't know how. I didn't when I first started.

>>1732079
this. I usually feel okay with someone after I meet someone and I start feeling comfortable. But a complete stranger really makes me uncomfortable...really.

>>1732085
I know, I was like that too at my very first con. Last year, I attended a convention in Holland, and 90% of all of the cosplayers I took pictures of, didnt pose. I cant believe that many people dont know what a pose is.

Still, even if you dont know how to pose, you can still smile or something. Dont look at me like Im the devil cause I want to take a picture.

>>1731827
>>3.) Friends who never want to do ANYTHING at the con except sitting around. Why even pay to get in? I mean really.

Oh my god, THIIIIIIS.

My own procrastinating ass who can't finish a costume till the night before a con, fuck.

Con raves. Fuh dat shit. I'd rather they kept the dealer's room open later.

People who don't want to try and make new friends at cons. That's the reason I'm going!

Having only JoAnne fabrics and GoodWill as my cosplay resources.

People who think LOL I GOT THIS LONG WIG NOW HELP ME TIE IT UP INTO 2 PIGTAILS. GAH it's more work than that, you fuckers.

When the progress threads on /cgl/ are all filled with costumes from the latest series that I don't want to watch.

Totally unrelated, but...BALL MOUSES. god damn I hate this thing.

>>1727990 Do any of you have the problem that people you know HAVE to get into the manga/anime/video game/whatever that you're getting into, simply because you like it?

One word:

Sey

What pisses me off is when i am hanging out with a friend at a convention.

Said friend decides to fucking run off without telling me and gives me the excuse of "oh i told you guess you didn't hear me"

No i didn't hear you cause you didn't say jackshit and thought you did and are now blaming it on me.

Also if you decide to run off, don't baw when we don't get awesome pictures together....

P.S i don't like hunting your ass down at cons cause either you're my ride home or you have my stuff.

Fucking pointless arguments like this are what pisses me off.

inb4 get a new hobby.

>>1731998
Because it's like showing your pre-school finger painting to your college professor.

1. People who cosplay characters they have never heard of and honestly do not care about with the sole intention of showing of their figures, especially when they do not actually have such figures to show off.

2. Females who do not bind or attempt to make their hair look male when cosplaying males. Also, fat females cosplaying as skinny males. It just doesn't work, and it isn't flattering to yourself or the character.

3. People who insist that they are absolutely the best cosplayers of whatever they cosplay. Even if you are the best of whatever you cosplay, I don't want to hear about it from you.

4. People who cosplay as someone from a different race, especially a black person cosplaying the palest of pale characters. I'm not racist. I would love to see black cosplayers cosplaying as black people.

5. People who don't do anything with their hair when they cosplay, especially if they have otherwise amazing costumes. This could be because I'm so into styling wigs and hair for cosplay, but it just irks me when it's obvious that no effort or half-assed effort was made.

6. People who don't get at all into character when they cosplay. It's okay not to act exactly like your character throughout the whole convention, but at least try for most of it. This includes poses. You should have at least two good poses when you decide to cosplay as a character.

7. People who insult costumes that people spent months of their life making when they bought their costume. If you're going to criticize someone's skill, you should first make sure that you could either do any better or tell them how to do any better.

8. People who think in the hotel room during the con is the time to work on costumes. It's not that it makes me angry, but it makes the environment of the hotel room very stressful and awkward when one person starts their costume the Thursday before the con when they have been working on their costumes since the last con.

9. People who cosplay L without cosplaying. Seriously, if you want to cosplay L, at least buy a good wig and style it or make your hair look like L's. It would still be annoying, but not quite as annoying as redheaded "L cosplayers."

10. People who insist that anyone who cosplays as the character they are cosplaying is copying them. Seriously, don't flatter yourself. It's not like they're stealing your identity.

>>1732669
>People who cosplay as someone from a different race, especially a black person cosplaying the palest of pale characters. I'm not racist. I would love to see black cosplayers cosplaying as black people.

You mean like 99.9% of anime characters that white people cosplay?

>>1732678

I only cosplay as characters as pale as I am. I've noticed that some white people cosplay as Asian-looking characters, but most anime/videogame characters look white.

>>1732669
Spoiler: You're in denial, you racist fuck.

>>1732690

I was just giving an example, though I do hate it just as much when white people cosplay as characters who are of other races. It's good to know I'm racist, though. Thank you for giving me this well-informed epiphany based on the plethora of knowledge you have about me.

>>1732722

Different Anon here.>>1732690 Is right about you, your statement tells all we need to know in that regard. We aren't trying to figure out if you have daddy issues or like oranges or apples.
Your racism is just so far embedded you can't recognize it for what it is.
You don't need to put on a white hood or shave your head. It's seemingly innocent comments like yours that keep the racism wheel turning and keep people apart enough so that they feel it's ok to say something like that.

>>1732754

Fair enough. I suppose it could be racist to want people to cosplay characters they can pull off well because of their skin color.

I suppose I just thought that racism was actually not liking people based on race. If it's not, then I'm definitely racist.

Its hardly racist saying that people should cosplay characters they actually somewhat resemble.

>>1732277

I used to live near a great wig store, but now Jo Ann Fabrics and Michaels are my only real cosplay sources. It pisses me off, too. Why did I move again?

People who find out you're into sewing, because you say "oh I made this coat" or whatever, ask you if you can make something, and then get all pissy when you give them a quote much higher than they'd expect.

I am not a sweatshop. If you want a fully-lined princessy coat with embellishments and ruffles and real buttonholes (which are a bitch to make), you're going to have to settle from whatever you can find in stores, or cough up $200+. Deal with it.

>>1732810

and by resemble you mean be the same color?

racism is basically treating people differently because their skin color, be it burning a cross on their lawn or telling them they should only cosplay dark characters.

ps, 90% of people on this board should not cosplay the people they do because they arent japanese

Yeah because all anime characters look like japanese people don't they?

So if i (as a skinny pale person) was to cosplay say Barret from ff7, you'd think that would look good?

>>1732846
Oi. Sarcasm.

>>1732844
Yes. We should treat everyone the same because they totally are.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MOISTURIZE REGULARLY BECAUSE ASHY SKIN IS A MYTH PROPAGATED BY RACIST PEOPLE.

INCREDIBLY PALE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE EXTRA CAREFUL TO USE SUNSCREEN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BURNS.

IF A DOCTOR MENTIONS YOU SHOULD BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH YOUR DIET BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF DIABETES THAT IS DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE ALL PEOPLE ARE BORN EXACTLY THE SAME.

>>1732844
>ps, 90% of people on this board should not cosplay the people they do because they arent japanese

What genre have you been watching in which the characters look asian?

>>1732839

This. I had a lady who wanted me to make THREE princess ballgowns for her daughters after she saw one of my costumes, then whined when I told her the cost would run about 1,500 dollars. She said she didn't want to pay that much for something her daughters would only wear once(she wanted them for a wedding) On top of that, I didn't have a sewing machine at the time. Hand sewing three ballgowns? Bitch be crazy.

>>1732918
... What did she THINK it was going to cost?

>>1732936

God only knows. I even explained to her that material costs wise, that even getting fabric on sell that it would cost about 500 dollars each.

The lady ran a business that bought shoes from China and sells them to local swapmeet shops. She probably assumed I'd quote her maybe a few hundred dollars. She wants cheap? She can go to one of her Chinese distributors.
