No.

90% of meme cosplay is just reddit level memes, wherein people are trollface or anonymous or THE GAME LOL.

Really clever ones always make me laugh, and are a good way to get a rise out of people with your costume without dropping lots of bux or working too hard on the details.

I believe that the collective intelligence of /cgl/ wishes for 'memes' to remain on the internet rather than to be exhibited in a cosplay style.

May I also comment on your usage of signature; it is frowned upon in the sovereignty of Doom.

No. 99.9% of the time meme, board-tan, snacks, etc. cosplay is not funny and just screams "lol I am so random. 4chan is leejun!"

>>5978771
..dude

it wasn't a signature, it was like, refering to the picture

>>5978788
>board-tan
Hah. Good point. You're all so high and mighty about it because OP posted Dodson, but a few weeks ago, you were racing to suck the Canada crews cocks when they did that board-tan bullshit.

And they're doing it AGAIN.

So the majority opinion on /cgl/ seems to be it's a-ok if tripfags do it.

>>5978768
Saw someone on here post a picture of a dude being Chris-chan cosplay, holding a Sonichu and all that. Now that made me laugh, but all these old meme-troll-whateverthefuck 'cosplays' are just annoying. It wouldn't be so bad but they all seem to act like they've stumbled upon new and cool and never done before. Whilst, really, most of those pictures have been around for years.

>>5978818
Tripfags posting as anons and a few people sucking their dicks =! all of /cgl/. Most of those threads were filled with negative comments.

We're not doing it again. At least not for a while. I have heard that the britfags are planning a group though.

As for the cosplay-ability of memes, it's entirely on a case by case basis, but if it's done well, the original joke can be maintained.

>exhibit A

memes are fucking horrible, please don't.

board-tans are OCs.
really horrible, illegitimate OCs, but they're different from memes.
memes make me want to kill all things while board-tans only make me want to kill myself.

Last con I went to was full of teenage girls in Rage Comics masks. It was horrible.
However I chuckled when I saw a Lord Inglip one.

>>5979037

nope
don't try to paint it nicer
it's the same fucking thing

>>5979018
>But you guys hated us.
then why are you doing it again in Britain?

yes I'm treating you tripfags as a unified group

just like you treat all anons as the same person when you don't like them

>>5979050
What if it was just a bunch of Anons doing board-tan cosplays instead?

Would you hate them more, or less?

>>5979050
i'm not 'painting' it any which way; they're different. you go to reddit and try to find OC that isn't a copy-paste meme comic with a hamfisted joke made to fit phrases that are apparently funny to repeat a million times to twelve year olds. board-tans are hand-drawn by people from their respective forums. again, i'm not trying to imply that they're better, but they're different.
you sound upset. did you have a hard day? :c

>>5979060
holy shit

you must be a mentally sick cunt if you think we hated that sputum you called cosplay just because you were our superior tripfag circlejerk elite

it would get less hatred if you didn't make nearly a hundred threads before that, telling yourselves how awesome it would be, only to see the watered down product spammed endlessly for nearly a month, all of the threads being as always your exclusive circlejerk nests

so tl;dr
it would get less hate if it would be just a group of people from somewhere else, on one throwaway picture in some cosplay photo threads (read: threads than no one cares about)

>>5979060
Not the guy you're talking to but if they haven't made so manny godamn threads about it it wouldn't be as bad.

>>5979064
>you sound upset. did you have a hard day? :c
confirmed tripfag

brace yourself crew, we're approaching a whirlpool of circlejerk

>>5979071
i'm not a tripfag.
gj proving how buttmad you are, though.
hope you feel better soon~

Amusing, why would one regard circle jerking negatively? All members of the event are enjoying themselves, so why should they stop?

Oh lord you're killing me mate. Yep, this gotta be Micnax.

>>5979081
Those who do not participate? E.g. 90% of /cgl/? The decent people who actually cosplay? I dunno.

Which board did Micnax go as?

>>5979090
/a/. He spat upon those he used to call his friends.

>>5979068
>>5979069
Well that's reasonable enough, there were shitloads of AN threads so I'm not surprised people would've been pissed off about it.

>>5979083
We already know the board-tans don't represent their costumes at all, it was some artist who drew them and the whole thing kicked off into some unrelated tangent. The boards have always hated their misrepresentations.

>>5979094
I still don't get why you think I used to be friends with /a/

>>5979085

For those who do not participate, avoidance is a plausible notion. Whether the course of action is hiding the thread or simply bypassing it on the main page. If you do not wish to indulge in homosexual activity, you merely ignore or accept it. If it your intent to prevent the actions in which the 'tripfags' wish to participate; it eludes to a sense of moral inquisitiveness.

>>5979094
didn't one of the fellow douchebag boardtans try to pass him off as a real girl? har har tripfags you're so funny.

boardtan group was the most pathetic piece of shit I've ever seen and an embarrassment to CGL. WE'RE THE COSPLAY BOARD AND OUR TRIPS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COSPLAY.

thanks douchebags.

This feels worse than the girls that cosplay X character without knowing who or what they are.

>We already know the board-tans don't represent their costumes at all, it was some artist who drew them and the whole thing kicked off into some unrelated tangent. The boards have always hated their misrepresentations.
if you knew that then WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO IT?

it's like going to Auschwitz and laughing at anti-Semite jokes even though you learned about Holocaust in school

>>5979114
See: attention

>>5979111
That whole group was a terrible joke. They looked bad, they acted shamefully after the fact and it's coming out that most aren't even board frequenters.

>>5979104
They were just trying to make him look pretty in the eyes of female seagulls ("oh my gosh, /a/ was a cuuute girl!" "reeealy?" "no it's just a cute booooy!" - not that it fooled anyone). You know, as a treat, for being a good doggie who flew all the way across the pond to serve their masters.

>>5979111
Well, I always lurked and sometimes posted, but I was never into the stuff they do (waifus etc.), plus my taste in anime includes Evangelion so it's automatically shit by their standards.

>>5979114
Because fun. Might as well do a cosplay with a bunch of friends rather than none at all. Christ, at least you didn't see the OTHER skirt cosplay I had.

>>5979120
>cute
Haha yeah, jog on.

>>5979125
>plus my taste in anime includes Evangelion so it's automatically shit by their standards.

Yeah, you totally lurked /a/. Not.

>Because fun.
It would be just as much fun if you met up there, jerked each other out, ate that "delicious garlic bread OMNOMNOM" and left us in peace.

But no, one of you just had to spam the whole 4chan with your bullshit. And don't give me that "it was actually a super secret agent troll who did that to make us look bad!" (portrayed by Tom Cruise, no less, surely there was the Mission Impossible theme playing as he logged into your private FB group to steal those pictures) explanation.

Tell me Mr.Causier, does the hatred bestowed upon you for representing a 'board-tan' increase or decrease your willingness or desire to repeat the costume in the future?

>>5979131
Totally, go check my post history then.

But okay, maybe it was wrong of me to cosplay in the group, but it still wouldn't have stopped it. I would've just gone circlejerking with the other trips at Otacon or AX instead.

And I could hardly spam them if I was too busy partying/flying home. I don't go to a convention and sit on my laptop all night.

You could say I represent a bygone age, one that deals with etiquette rather than focusing on the vernacular. A gentleman is measured in the social stance in which he ascertains

you don't look like the same person in these

If you can tell there was effort put into it, and they're not being obnoxious, I appreciate it and even enjoy it.

If it's just print-outs of 'rage' faces, or halfassed costumes, I get annoyed.

I think that's why the board-tan group disappointed me so much. There are so many amazing representations of the different boards that you could've chosen a more creative one for each (I feel Todd and Piplup did the best job of the group). Plus all the boardtanspam annoyed the shit out of me.

But anyways. Do it well, do it creatively and you'll get great reactions.

>>5981957
how about cosplaying an rage comic from reddit?
like do it as a cosplay skit for show
with real acting
you know

>>5983557

>>5981957
the main problem, a lot of the designs picked weren't very standout. even if they were 100% accurate, they still would have been lame looking, and thats speaking as one of the board-tan assholes.

The only meme I would ever cosplay is the Gorilla Munch gorilla. I would wander around conventions finding people arguing or looking unhappy and just stare at them until they were no longer upset.
