at least shes clever enough not to respond and baaaaw anywhere

>>2551073
clever?

Any word on what happened with this? She disabled all comments and haven't seen her post anywhere.

>>2551099
Masq staff told everyone to not comment her about it and they are investigating it

>her

i got some bad news for you, that's a MAN D:

Does going on mob vendettas make you feel better about yourselves?

This kind of bullshit is why I hate coming to this board sometimes.

>>2551112

proof?

What happened to the old thread? It should still be here. /cgl/ doesn't go THAT fast. I remember one of the judges commenting here but I don't know what happened after that. Anybody got caps?

>>2551142

The joke
------------
your head

This just came up in my inbox. Of course, using a health concern to dodge confrontation. Sounds just like something she'd do.

>>2551326
if she didnt want to start of war,
she shouldn't have claimed she made those props when she didn't

>>2551326

LOL
weak heart

so /cgl/ forced her into hospital.
thats just hilarious.

but if she really has some disorder Im sorry.
this sounds just like another excuse

>>2551041
wtf! this is ugly shit!!!11!

Typical female response to getting called out and humiliated.

Resort to sympathy.

>>2551326
Yeah it's just another lie to dodge questions from Judges. Either that or she just doesn't want to be here when she gets her ass banned from OhayoCon's competition.

Talking to one of my professors today.

People with certain types of autism hate losing and if they don't get what they want, they go nuts and throw tantrums.

So...if she does have autism. she does sort of show it.

>>2551486
She is autistic. At Matsuricon 2007 she lost the cosplay contest and tore out of the room screaming and slamming doors...
The EmCee's were just like, "Uh.... Okay."

>>2551326
"weak heart?" So like...mitral valve? palpitations? chamber block? hardened arteries?
Fake is being vague. :D

Fuck, I have two of the above maladies but I lead a normal fucking life.

>>2551503
Oh she wasn't screaming, don't exaggerate for the sake of gossip.

inform us when it cuts its wrists

I have diagnosed autism, and I can kinda' see where she's coming from :(.

Say I cosplay Naruto (pfft, I hate that show, and I didn't) and there are a bunch of other Narutos at a con. If I get on deviantart and see a comment regarding *another* Naruto cosplayer as "the best one there :O omg!!" then I throw a fit. And I bitch to my friends about it. I've actually done this in real life over a different cosplay. It's nonsensical and I realize that, but certain kinds of autism keep one's mind perpetually locked in some degree of a child-like state. We really can't help it.

If I entered a masq. and didn't even get mentioned, I'd probably cry. I KNOW it's stupid and I'd like to say that I wouldn't *cry* over cosplay, but I can't say I wouldn't.

I can understand what she says about feeling "nervous" on the internet (and presumably about seeing peoples' comments). Sometimes when I'm reading anything that has to do with me or things I do, my heart feels weak and fluttery and I get kinda' nauseous and really anxious. That's because to some kids with autism (especially Asperger's), your passion is often your LIFE. It's almost all you do, think about, talk about, etc. And if you lose at that or are criticized about it, you feel terrible. If her passion is cosplay and she's ever made to feel "bad" at it, then it's feasible for her to overreact. Or it is in my eyes, at least.

I'll admit she looks stupid and childish to anyone who doesn't know her background, but if she IS autistic, then I don't know. I can easily excuse her.

TL;DR: Leave the poor girl alone. She may have issues you don't understand.

>>2551616

Wait, if you're mature enough to know what you're doing is immature, how are you locked in a child-like state?

A: I've been told.

B: I'm not stupid. When I'm sitting here by myself and not under the eyes of others (because Asperger's is largely a social impairment and "others" affect me greatly), I can reason to myself that "hey, it's not a big deal." But AT the event, or when I'm under attack, it seems like the biggest deal in the world.

C: I go to a therapist. He explains a lot for me.

Okay, I've been gone for a few days and
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
Can someone please enlighten me?

Apparently this chick here throws tantrums whenever she doesn't win in a costume contest.

Or something.

>>2551602
She was screaming in the lobby, right outside the cosplay room.

>>2551616


It may be her life and what not, she may be autistic which I could somewhat understand seeing how my father works with autistic children. But having met the girl, she is bright person and should have a concept of what is right and wrong.
In the plenty of situations in the cosplay world and SHOULD know that entering a craftmanship competition with commissioned items is a big no no.

Sadly, despite her autism, I hate to say that she has made a very poor choice and now must deal with the consequences.

>>2551636

The chick in OPs pic tried to lead everyone to believe that she made her props ( the sword and shield ). Everyone was commenting how awesome they are at the con she was at, and she was displaying how proud she was, when really, they were commissioned.

Now action is being taken, she's disabled posts to her threads, and making up lies, etc. I guess. That's all I know.

>>2551650
^ typos a plenty, whoops.

>>2551616
I have a younger cousin with a severe autism and even he knows not to lie about things that you didn't make.

>>2551659
Oh.
Thanks anon.

Poster from 2551616 here.

If she claimed to make commissioned props, then I guess she can just have her fit <_<. I thought she was being teased *only* for throwing a tantrum, in which case I was going to defend her.

I know I'd never enter a masquerade competitively because I know how stupid I might look in my reaction to the outcome. I also would never enter a contest with commissioned items and then baww about not getting anything.

So meh. My pity is retracted somewhat.

>>2551602
she was indeed screaming and wailing, she was in a woman's bathroom stall throwing a tantrum

>>2551741
>>2551646
Well then I take that back. It was the wording which led me to believe I was going to watch a vid with her throwing a tantrum on camera. I just hate it when people exaggerate things to make them seem worse and that's what I thought happened here. Carry on then

>>2551616

I think that's a typical response for most people. I dont like hearing negative things about myself or my own cosplays but I get over it. But like everyone said it doesnt excuse her from lying about commissioned props. It's fine if she cries after a loss at a competition. I understand that the autism wouldnt help with that, but she shouldnt resort to claiming other people's work as her own.

>>2551824

agreed.
i'm REALLY sorry for her autism. i can sort of understand how hard it must be to deal with it.
but I agree: claiming others work for your own is just dumb and mean.

Its fine if she cries for not winning anything and make a fuzz
its fine to commission props

but its not okay to get credit for other peoples work.

so lets wait and hope that ohayocon will enlighten us soon.

>>2551858

Yeah, I dont know what's taking them so long there is soooo much evidence against her.

>>2551858
>and make a fuzz
This typo is somehow really cute.

>>2551871

lol sorry.
I meant fuss

nerds and socially awkward people need to STOP claiming to be autistic; it makes life just that more difficult for those that are severely autistic to receive proper help AND respect. This girl is a loser, plain and simple; you don't need a mental disorder to be an asshole.

>>2551871
That's because it would be cute to see someone start to get upset and suddenly turned into a costumed fuzzball.

>>2551890
Except she actually does have a high-functioning form of autism.

>>2551900

proof or it didn't happen.

i actually have autism, but i don't throw fits whenever nothing goes my way. come to think of it, i dont really care much about it at all. is that a sign of autism in high functioning autistics?

>>2551892
The best. Every time I start to get srs bzn about cosplay, I'm going to think of this.

>>2551934
Yay. :D

>>2551890
>>2551915
Her father tells everyone under the sun (he told me about twice and I didn't even ask),
I think he recently stopped telling everyone because he finally figured out he was embarrassing the hell out of her.
Seriously I thought she was perfectly normal, maybe a little odd but nothing out of the ordinary for an anime con. I have no idea why he had to tell everyone she met though.

>>2551890
>people need to STOP claiming to be autistic; it makes life just that more difficult for those that are severely autistic to receive proper help AND respect.

There is a drastic difference between severe and high functioning. How is it at all affecting someone who is massively autistic if some high functioning person opens up about their condition and how it affects their judgment? Srsly, it's not hurting 'respect' for severe autistic people. People will judge them regardless. That's how people are... if anything it might be better if people were aware how many high functioning cases there are and how much the durrrr stereotype isn't right.

>>2551900
>higher functioning autism
>aspergers

>>2552392
Similar, but different. I know high functioning autistic adults who are very social and like getting to know people without being awkward at all.

>>2552392
My boss has Aspergers. There's really no mistaking it.

Honestly, I'm not surprised that something like cosplay attracts people with psychological disorders.

>>2552392
Not the same thing.

I think the point here is that she claimed another pesons work as her own. If she has Autism it's beside the point. However if affects her judgment it doesnt change the fact that she lied about a commission she bought. And if her dad is always around her, trying to protect her, or making people realize she has autism he should have told her not to lie about the props. That's just good parental advice for any situation.

>>2552445
after having a couple convos with her father, it's evident he doesn't have the best of judgment either.

>>2552420

Har. Har. HAR.

>>2552420

What, you thought normal people gave a shit about video game character costumes. Have you seen the people at these conventions?

>>2552420
Any activity that promotes escapism is going to attract some... interesting people.

>>2551503
> tore out of the room screaming and slamming doors...

not trying to defend her but in the video there was no screaming and it sounds like one door closed... not "doors"

so i take it what you said happened, all happened after she left the room?

>>2552688

ahh nvm after being able to catch up on everything... i see


lol

>>2551326
This is bullshit and just an excuse

>>2552361

As of right now, there is no way to cohesively test for Autism (as there is for schizophrenia and other neurological disorders). There has also been an enormous surge in the number of documented cases of Autism (in the US alone) during the past decade, which includes high functioning and severe cases of the disorder; most of them are high functioning cases. To me, it seems as though America has simply found another way to excuse a strange character trait by calling it a mental disorder. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and clinical depression god knows how many times, but never received treatment for them, and guess what? I grew out of my problems, like most people will if they give themselves the chance. If parents enable their children (and teenagers, and adults) by telling them, "It's okay that you're this way. You're disabled, you didn't have a choice." more often than not, said individual will not take it upon themselves to change. I say that these cases of "high functioning" autism take away the respect and credibility owed to "severe" autism patients because it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to receive health insurance to treat autism. I know this because I am very close to an individual who is highly autistic, and his family suffers daily from the financial burden of his physical/emotion therapy sessions and bizarre quirks. People like this girl, who is nothing more than a lying, immature video game otaku, needs a slap in the face and a dose of the real world.

most people at cons are so fucking awkward they could all be diagnosed with autism

>>2553261
Perhaps you were misdiagnosed.

>>2552361

And one more thing to clarify: it's with doctors that severely-autistic patients are losing respect. Autistic patients aren't given the time of day, so to speak, because so many cases are "high functioning", and thus do not require the same amount of therapy that severe autistic patients do. Like I said, they take away credibility.

>>2553267

With the number of times I was diagnosed (and the psychological crap I went through)? Not likely. I just refused medication because I never wanted to become dependent on a drug to be "me". As of right now, I am still classified as bi-polar, but I can work through my problems because I know "what to look for" when I feel a huge downer/high coming on.

>>2553275
Oh god anon, I just had a burst of pride for you. I love that people don't just blame everything on some disorder they have but actually work through it and do something about it.

>>2553275
I mean, clearly you have a lot of control over your mental state without medication. But cases won't be the same for everyone. Just because someone with autism is a lying douche doesn't mean they're not actually autistic. I've seen posts from her three years ago where she's said she has trouble making friends because of her disorder, and wants to raise money for autism. I don't think one would fake a disorder for that long.

assburgers, like ADHD, is extremely over diagnosed. most doctors care more about avoiding lawsuits than helping their patients, so they'll tell the healthy people with shitty personalities that they have a "disease" and it's not their fault, so poor little asspie can go pretend they're fucking rainman.

>>2553291
You'd be surprised. You have a lot of living to do if you think people aren't willing to lie about a disorder for long for attention and sympathy. Personally, if she is autistic, she still needs to grow the fuck up anyway. There is a difference between right and wrong, and lying blatantly about something to get an award others competed very hard for is a bad bad thing. I have a family that has
autistic tendencies- one of my cousins is severely autistic and I myself have tendencies. You can only live for so long before you have to live with the fact that, yes, it's a disorder, but YOU have to work through your problems. I did and living is a much more fulfilling experience than many people I've talked to who have similar problems. Shit makes you stronger than relying on medication son. Avoided being medicated for a lot of problems doctors would've thrown a prescription at.

Also to break them rosy glasses from your eyes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchhausen%27s_syndrome

>>2553333
>Personally, if she is autistic, she still needs to grow the fuck up anyway.

I honestly think this is the case, but YMMV.

I don't think she's faking being autistic. After reading her LJ and meeting her in person, I don't believe she's beyond knowing there could be some serious repercussions for lying, not only to the people who take your pictures, but in competition. I have known plenty of seriously autistic people who wouldn't do something like this. She's also lied in the past, so maybe she's just a liar, and maybe it has nothing to do with her condition.

I don't think that "compulsive, delusional lying" is a part of Autism at all. If that became one of the identifying traits, the number of autistics would triple!

>>2553357
You mean you do think she's faking, or not? Your first sentence contradicts the rest of that paragraph.

>>2551650
They can look normal and simply act normal and still have autism. It might take certain things for her to throw a fit.

>>2553409
Autism doesn't have just one 'effect'
and plus a lot of disorders can lead with it.

>>2553715

I wasn't saying it had one effect; I was saying that if lying was a symptom, many more people could claim to be autistic. I've never heard of compulsive lying as being anything other than a trait of someone with poor morals; it shouldn't be excused to explained because of a serious mental disorder, which this girl may or may not have.

>>2553715

Name one. And state how it leads to a bigger disorder.

Lying is not a symptom of autism. Normal people do it all the time.

She made and obvious and dumb mistake. Many people did not like her before this all happened, and to be honest it probably could not get any worse. So are their any of you complaining that did not secretly want to make fun of her before?

I could understand the complaints if she won something, but she did not. Kudos to the judges for picking up on this. The only person that should be bitching is the one who actually made the props. I doubt he is spending too much time on 4chan if he can do epic work like that.

Besides, if any of you dummies knew a thing about autism, attention positive or negative is STILL ATTENTION. So drop the vandetta and stop giving her what she is probably enjoying.

I disagree. I'm autistic (a 2 on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, so I'm only mildly "abnormal"), and I hate attention, unless it's good. And even then, I don't really like it much.

Bad attention--especially with my hobbies and passions--is terrible and makes me feel sick.

>>2553985
This. I work with autistic kids (which makes dealing with 4chan easy.). If they do get attention, it's usually unintentional.

>>2553985

Puh-lease. Are you saying "normal" people like negative attention? Give me a break.

>>2551483
why halo thar inky, I thought you said you would never post on 4chan

I'm not saying anyone likes negative attention, I was just pointing out that it's wrong of 2553930 to say that because this girl is autistic, she revels in any sort of attention she gets.

>>2554092

I'm pretty sure he posts on here quite often...

>>2551041

Oh man, that fucking face she is making.

>>2554443

lol that's a pretty good drawing of her face :D

Do people ever realize that autism has different effects on different people.

I've had a friend with autism who only talked to me when we were out in town and he seemed pretty shy.

Had a co-worker with autism. Guy would not shut up. Asked if he could keep it down, said SORRY like I pissed him off, next minute he asked if I wanted to go get some drinks after work lol. Thats before my boss told me he had autism.

Does anyone have the link to the Zelda cosplayers forum that she posted this to?

has she stated herself that she's autistic or is it everyone's speculation? let's face it, there's some messed up people in the cosplay world and she might just be extremely immature.

either way, there's no point harassing the girl. if she's autistic, expecting her to have the same self-control you have is like asking a tree to be purple.

>>2554527
this. it's a huge spectrum. i've worked with autistic kids ranging from barely able to speak with other kids, to being completely normal and bright other than maybe having some little behavioral issues.

Dude, I have no idea what's going on here, anyone want to quickly explain?

>>2554845
this girl won an award for a shield she bought, but claimed she made. she also threw a tantrum at a con for not winning the cosplay contest.

>>2554849
She didn't win anything. She entered with a sheath, sword and shield she said she made but didn't. That second thing happened like two years ago.

>>2554808
I remember reading a post by her using her autism as an excuse for the Princess Peach fit. That may have been on Cosfu, but lazy anon is lazy and won't bother to go looking for a link.

>>2554893

Ugggg. I hate people who do that. They make it so much harder for those who have actual diagnoses and have real social problems to be taken seriously.

People should not self diagnose. That's why you get idiots like this.

Adding to this big infobank of what autistic people are like; my younger brother has aspergers and is absolutely incapable of lying. He used to be extremely bad at socialising and get upset over tiny things and now, with help and his own tenacity, he's actively seeking to improve his social skills and he's come a long way in not getting upset over little things (he used to be one of those kids who went mental if they didn't get an A grade- he got a B last year and shrugged it off. I was speechless).

If this chick is autistic then maybe she just didn't get the help she needed.

Or she's just an asshole and it has nothing to do with her disorder. I'd like to think this as it doesn't make other aspies look like morons. :/

>>2555150

Oh, and- he has never used his autism as an excuse for anything. He never brings it up, ever. Tbh I have a hard time believing people who use "Oh I'm sorry, I have autism" to apologise, as most people with autism that I've met will simply not tell anyone that they have it.

>>2554808
>>2554893
>>2555007
see
>>2552261

People who have asperger's are usually unaware that they have it...I've known 2 people in my life who absolutely without a doubt have had asperger's and both of them were completely oblivious to it. People who have it are unable to read body language - They simply don't KNOW when they are making someone uncomfortable, so they wouldn't be apologizing for it. They just don't understand.

>>2555175
I have assburgers and I learned how to read body language to a decent degree.

It's called their parents didn't give two fucks to teach them anything.

>>2555343
Bullshit. People with this disease cannot, under any circumstance, deal with people in a face to face type of way.

>>2555175
There's no such thing as aspergers you fuck. That's what antisocial weeaboos self-diagnose as an excuse to not go outside and make some friends.

>>2555420

Maybe it's just me but I get the feeling that Aspergers is like the new fashionable ADD or bi polar. I think that there ARE real cases out there but I think doctors over-diagnose the hell out of it because it's just a convenient diagnoses.

>>2555431
this.

>>2555431
This.

Like someone said earlier, no one wants to admit they're just an anti-social weeaboo fag so they go to the doctor and turn every personality flaw into a symptom and suddenly you gots yourself an assburgers or bi-polar or multiple personalities or whatever pop disease is sweeping the nation.

I agree a lot of people jump on the psychosis-train as come kind of blanket for actual laziness but to brand everyone that way is ignorance. You clearly do not deal with such diagnoses or haven't been exposed to actual people with real problems.

Sup, I have a Ph D. in clinical psychology.

What are your questions?

Haha. You're fucking stupid. Did you even read the person I was quoting? He clearly said a /good portion/ are misdiagnosed cases. Not all. Some. Ever learn fractions in math or did you drop out of school to dance at a taxi club? Thus I agreed and expanded upon his idea of those just looking for a diagnosis to explain away their shitty personalities.

Learn to use 4chan or GTFO, you writhing twat-sucker. Anyone you meet in reality has problems so don't spout your horse-shit that I'm in some world where everyone's only problem is where the rainbows go when they disappear from the sky.

Ah, that feels good. Thanks for the fun, you festering cunt.

>>2553930
THIS

Judges aren't idiots. Why do you think she didn't win anything? They picked up on it. My fiance is a judge here in South FL and he's told me about how they handle fakers. They ignore them. They give them no prizes.

It's very hard to prove someone had something commissioned, but it's fairly obvious when you come across it. Without definitive proof, there can be a lot more trouble than its worth to call someone out on it. But word gets around. She'll never win a prize in anything ever again.

>>2555886
Oh. Nevermind--That's what I get for walking away for a while to do things. He's probably gone anyway.

Proceed unmolested.

>>2555893
Never thought of that before. Maybe the judges suspected from the beginning that her shit was someone else's.

>>2553985

My sister is autistic, and doesn't take correction well, let alone negative attention. And she's probably a 5-6 out of 10 on the scale.

>>2555910

they did and then there suspicions were confirmed with forcebewitya and inkylink told them as well

>>2556093
So just out of curiosity, how can judges tell if someone's entering with another's work?

>>2556114

well basically they were suspicious before that because they could tell the quality of the rest of her costume did not match with the quality of her props.

>>2556114
There will be a lack of progress photos, a lack of knowledge about how things were constructed, and a definite rift in skill level from other components of their costumes. If they've entered other things recently, you can see the gap in skill from their previous entries. People improve, but not so rapidly as cheaters. Certain costumers are very recognizable as well. For example, it's pretty easy to spot a Setsuna Kou costume. And of course, with this case EVERYONE seems to have recognized the work of the real prop maker.

>>2554092

Hi Rick. I never said I don't post on 4chan. Anyone who thought they heard me say that is wrong. I said I wouldn't go belittle the fuck out of people just because they're bad at cosplay. I don't care who you are, if you're lying about something to everyone I'm going to expose you to the world. Maybe you remember how I had a problem with you lying as well.
