cosplay with fail shoes, especially tennis shoes

People who cosplay male characters and assume that no makeup is necessary and people who don't use wigs when needed.

Girls that crossplay and don't bind.
Guys that crossplay and don't shave. Legs, face, underarms, etc.

"Makeup's for fags."

Yaoi fangirls.

the whole concept of lolita bothers me, actually.
if i saw a nice item of clothing and it happened to be lolita i wouldn't stick it in a separate wardrobe and only wear it with other things considered to be rori, i would want to wear it on a daily basis with something not-lolita that i consider would make a good outfit. i would rather be worrying about if this outfit looks good than if this outfit is loli enough. you might say that casual lolita is alright with anything remotely lolita but it's not. it has rules just like all the other styles. wear a sweet skirt with a non-pink or non-frilly or non-kawaii shirt and they will go batshit.
lolita is just clothes, just like any other 'style' it can be mixed and still look good. so why is everyone so afraid of wearing it like any other dress? if i spent all that money on a nice dress i would want to show it off.
actually i think that counts for every fashion style, man up and learn that style and rules aren't everything, it's about looking good and feeling good.

tl;dr FUCK LOLITAS

You can wear lolita items with any other items you want. Dumbass, just dont call it lolita if you are wearing a blouse with jeans.

tl;dr FUCK YOU

Having a group planned for months, only to have a good percentage of the people flake out at the last second.
Friends who will complain they want to cosplay but 'can't make it themselves', then spend ages trying to convince you that yes, abandoning your own cosplay to make their own is INDEED the first thing you want to do.
Also fail shoes, and 'I'll just use my real hair, cbf lol'

But, really, most things I'll just halfheartedly simmer about. Not worth losing sleep over.

>>2873680
A former lolita here- people go batshit when you post it under the lolita label if you're gonna wear it with reg clothes. Especially in an uncute coord- put some effort to make it work with modern clothes.
Don't just slap on a cupcake skirt with a band tee and Converse and go derp derp. The victorian look is in mainstream fashion right now, so tons of coord ideas can be found in most stores & mags.

I wore the old lady bookstore clerk look before it became in vogue, damnit. Off my lawn, H&M & F21.

Circle back front?

>>2873680
You must be one of those itas who posted to a lolita community wearing one lolita piece while the rest of your outfit looked like shit, and got all butthurt because they told you thats not lolita. Fucking cunt, stay the fuck out of my fashion

>>2873684
i guess that makes sense, but even when you wear a lolita dress without the intentions of being a lolita and your pictures get posted up on /cgl/ you'll still get insulted. it just bugs me, tbh.
>>2873693
i understand, stuff has to match. i just can't see why you can't wear these shoes with that blouse because they're not considered lolita.
>>2873698
i'm not a lolita, i don't wear it. i like the clothes though, but i don't like people like you.

The token italoli or 'someone's friend' who comes to a lolita meet-up, refuses to talk to anyone, doesn't react when approached by others, and then goes home and bitches on livejournal and various anime communities about the evil brand-addicted elitist bitches who wouldn't talk to her because she didn't wear brand.

Every bigger meet-up I've attended had one so far.

>>2873736
>why you can't wear these shoes with that blouse

Going by the set example:
Band tee= slouchy, comfy / sweet loli skirt= elaborate, delicate / Converse= tough, sneakers.
Besides the fabric and genre clash, its jarring and majorly tacky. It'll take serious skill to make it work, which is not unpossible, but most often will result in fail.

welcome to the world of fashion.

THIS

I hate when I'm playing Left 4 Dead (versus) and someone becomes the Tank EVERYONE ON MY TEAM STOPS ATTACKING

The rampant slut-shaming that goes on in the lolita community. It actually makes me sick to my stomach. I know it's ironic to be complaining about this on 4chan, but 4chan doesn't proclaim itself feminist at every opportunity. NEWSFLASH: Just because lolita is not an inherently sexual fashion, doesn't mean you get to dictate whether someone is a sexual person while wearing lolita. Just like nobody get to say you need to be a pretty polite princess, remember?

People who bitch about the Pyro being W+M1.

EVERY CLASS can be done W+M1. Try taking down a Heavy, Medic, Soldier and a Demoman with a spy lurking near you as a W+M1 Pyro.

People who don't put effort into cosplay and expect to get a lot of respect/attention.

>>2873630
1. Non-Asian cosplayers
2. Asian cosplayers

People praising a shitty costume just because the person wearing it is famous/nice/whatever.

People who stand too close. And then people who get insulted when you take a few steps away. I'm not comfortable with people in my bubble, it's not a comment about you, so stop being so easily insulted and give me some space.

That Abra getting away or when leech seed kills that fucking jigglypuff

Also most of the shit in the safari zone

>what really grinds your gears?

KIMMO, NO

>Buys two shirts from cute-plush.com
>Items haven't been sent out for two+ weeks
>Sends Claire an e-mail asking if my thing's back-ordered
>No response for 4 days.

No, my shipping e-mail hasn't been sent. I'm fucking super-pissed but according to her "If it hasn't been sent in a month please send me an e-mail. She better send me some sucky sucky when those items arrive because I'll never order from her again.

Not ironing your seams. Things can get wrinkled during wear, I'm fine with that- but there's no excuse for the fucking seams.
People who won't wear wigs or makeup. Man the fuck up already.
Also, font misuse and bad font choice. Shit drives me up the wall.

>>2873855
IAWTC. I don't understand how a group of mostly college-age women that prudish could exist.

>>2873855
I'm tired of all the slut-shaming everywhere. Newsflash: there's more to women than virgins and whores.

Break outs.

Not necessarily acne break outs. But your face is pretty clear, no really nasty little zits or anything. You washed your face like normal.

Next morning, WHAM! You wake up and there's a little outcrop of bumps somewhere.

TEEENNNNIIIIISSSSS SSSSHHHHHOOOOOOEEEEESSSSS!!!

>>2873796
Oh man I am so guilty of that. But what do you recommend we do? Have the cosplayer stand there in the middle of the hall while you fuck around with all the settings and shit?

Srs question, I am a below-novice photographer with an incredibly intimidating Nikon Rebel, because when I asked for a digital camera, that is what my crazy photographer uncle got me.

underaged stupid little faggots who try to tell you something about cosplay.

>>2874173
Christ I had this before.
First, my face was decent, but I figured I should scrub/clean/etc a week before a con anyway.

I dutifully clean my face every evening before the con.
Day before the con, face is red without scrubbing too hard.
Day of the con, face is covered in spots, red, etc.

I could've cried.

People who paint themselves darker for "accuracy". IT ALWAYS LOOKS BAD. ALWAYS.

>>2874552
omg thiiiiis

It's always uncomfortably close to blackface too. It's just like... Dude, there are so many more pale characters than dark characters, can't you just pick someone else?

people who request pictures of themselves on the con forums

Ugly fabrics. No Wigs. Things that are bought online and simply cheaply made.
People who have no experience in cosplay/ have a shitty excuse of one on, and then insult yours... or worse, insult new cosplayers..

weeaboo's

/thread

Wrong body types far from the ball park.

I hate it when I finish a costume and think that it's going to be really easy to wear and I end up fidgeting with a part of it for the entire weekend because it keeps shifting around or something.

When the wig I've ordered arrives in the mail and its too dark to use. If it was lighter I could dye it, now I'm fucked.

Nasty girls who rudely tell you 'You can't do ___ "
I've been told many times I'm too curvy for this, not curvy enough for that, too girly for this, not girly enough for that. Of course I ignore it, do the cosplay anyways, and I feel I look great in the end... It's just horrid hearing things like "I don't think you are thin enough for that.. you should work out more" when I /AM/ thin

That the fish still smells fresh while the guests stink after 3 days.

>>2874627

Oh my god, this so much.

People cosplaying the same series as you but don't know shit about it.

looking at you, vocaloid. I am disappoint.

Dual Models with Marathon, Lightweight, and Ninja Pro.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Inb4 /v/fag

>>2874736

What do you mean by not knowing shit? I like Luka, but I don't really care for most vocaloid songs. Am I not allowed to cosplay her now?

>>2874435
Nikon Rebel? I've heard of a Canon Rebel, but not a Nikon ripping off the same name.

Top 2:
1. Awesome costume, but they're wearing dirty old sneakers with it. I can understand running out of time, but ffs, go buy a cheap pair of black boots or something, anything would look better than dirty sneakers.

2. Awesome costume, terrible wig. Worst part: I hate when people cosplay a blonde character, and the wig is the color of a yellow highlighter, not blonde.

>>2874797
Being aware of what vocaloid is and knowing some songs other than the usual set.

I know that with the nature of what Vocaloid is, most people aren't going to be as hardcore of fans as I am, but it was the most disappointing thing ever when I was in my Miku costume and tried to talk to other Vocaloid cosplayers about what songs they like and they all were like "Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru!" "Meltdown!" "OMG Love is War!1!!" and then they don't even know the name of any of the people who actual made the songs.

>>2874886
That's stupid. What do you expect for them to know EVERY LITTLE DETAIL? I might as well get angry at every fucking cosplayer then. No one could possibly care or know as much about the anime, manga, and internet culture I follow.

There's always someone with more knowledge and that person isn't justified in being upset with others. This does not, however, excuse people who cosplay something and actually know nothing about it.

>>2874894

I don't think they SHOULDN'T cosplay, free country or whatever, but I'm also allowed to be disappointed by it.

>>2874902
I'm saying it's silly for you to be angry at them. Tell me what convention you are going to next and I'll bother you about how you don't know as much about nicovideo as I do the entire time.

>>2874908
I think you're exaggerating my level of irritation, anon. The people I met were nice people and I hung out with them for a while, I just was really hoping for someone to know a little more obscure stuff.

I'm not even the hugest huge vocaloid elitist who ever huged, especially because my Japanese skills are shit in a bottle

>>2874894
I can understand where they're coming from with Vocaloid - it's like you wouldn't appreciate seeing someone go to say idk.. a Beatles concert who only knew 2 popular songs and never listened through at least one whole album, right?

>>2874936
and only went because they found ringo hot or something.

I have this friend who has cosplay ADHD. Every time a new character from movie/anime/manga is introduced to her, she always says, "Man i'm going to cosplay that." She then makes a huge deal about how she's going to do it and when she's going to get it done. She likes to grab attention and always sends people pictures of the character she wants to do. For each character it goes on for about a week, then she forgets about it.
So far she has completed half a costume, and has around 25 cosplays planned in the next six months. The original count was around 40, but some of those were cut because "I lost interest cause it was too hard to do."
None of them require props nor intense sewing.

>>2874957
Aye, it may be a joke to you, but it's his nose. He can't help having a hideous great hooter! And his poor little head, trembling under the weight of it!

Being unable to find the right fabric or the right shade of fabric.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND GOOD LACE TOO?!

>>2874968
holy fucking shit we must have the same friend. Its so annoying, and then mine also plans groups and everyone gets it done EXCEPT for them who ghettos it out last minute. and she bitches that everyone has to be perfect and it has to be great and were going to be amazing and aughhhhh shut the fuck up you cant cosplay THAT well

>>2873796

Hahaha, guilty. I'm still learning to work my camera. By still I mean "just".

Friends of friends that feel they have the right to talk to you like you've known eachother for more than 5 minutes and feel the need to hug you like they do their actual friend.

I mean really... why? I'm not your friend. Just because you're friends with my friend doesn't friend friend a friend.

>>2874984

This. God damn, I went to LA fashion district and all the shops I hit.

None of them had 4 way stretch black pleather.

>>2874994
You reminded me, when you get into a group, you're working on your costume, and along the way, the whole group just FALLS APART and you're the only one left with an actual costume from the group.

I mean, hey, you still have the costume. But it really sucks that you don't have the rest of the group with you.

>>2874994
Good god that is so annoying. I'm sure in every cosplay circle, there are a few of those.

I'm not that good of a cosplayer, but i try as hard as I can. Its really refreshing when you have a baller group though.

>>2875012
this.
My friend and I were to cosplay together and I was all but making it all for her... then she dropped out
After I wasted half my masking supplies on something she won't EVER finish.
No apologies either, just a 'shit happens, sorry'.
She hasn't a job because she is lazy. She doesn't go to school because she is lazy and complains too much. She never pulls her weight, and owes ma a lot of money.
I managed to pull a completely new cosplay out of my ass in a week though. So fuck her

>>2874169
Oh god this. They all seem to this that if you wear a tank top and/or a mini-skirt, then you MUST be a slut.


Also: Niggers. You know, the pseudo-thug type.
