I think cosplaying is kinda neat, but I don't have a very strong interest in makeup, hairstyles, or making clothes unfortunately. I am not really interested in the people doing the cosplaying or social media culture surrounding it. I think if I were a Japanese woman it would probably be fun to walk around in extremely niche cosplay at Comiket while looking at obscure doujinshi though, ignoring the heatstroke one would inevitably get. I think small circles would like to see their character come to life too. That alone would make the effort worth it, to support my favorite doujin circles in multiple ways. Niche cosplayers are probably good people for this reason, they're supporting their circles with passion.
At least for 2D, *_(cosplay) tags are a lot of fun I think everyone here can enjoy.

I like to stay positive and optimistic until I gain more information that leads me to being negative. So I prefer assuming initially cosplayers are like Marin and they're just doing it because they really like the works their cosplaying and want to show off their appreciation of it by trying their best to replicate it and bring it into the real world.
>>154603Same, and I'm not a girl or a cute boy so I can't really do any extravagant cosplaying myself. Think it'd be fun to go around in a monhun cosplay or something that'd fit anyone and just look cool. Signifying that I'm a proud GS user all the way.

I don't really have any special feelings about traditional cosplay, but I can genuinely appreciate a well-done one if it doesn't trigger my sexism and the cosplayer doesn't come off to me like a stereotypical attentionwhore.
I do however REALLY like mascots and other "faceless" costumes that are typically done completely mute and for comedic purposes or just to make people happy. There's something incredibly special to me about a mascot communicating with you in gestures only, it just feels so much more wholesome and sincere. I feel similar for traditional cosplays of masked characters that don't talk and I'd love to try this out myself at some point.
>>154635>I do like this kind of cosplay a lot where it's something obscure and something you could talk about and bond overThis is great as well! Never encountered ones like that myself, but anything that is motivated by a "concept" more than just a character is super fun and makes me want to interact with the person.

>>160134>all the cosplayer girls of my generation were dumpy looking and did it halfassed.Well, they were fellow dorks and nerds and looked the part. From what I've seen of images and video from cons in the 90s and 00s they didn't look bad at all. There wasn't a thriving online industry of pre-assembled costumes shipped in from Asia so you had to actually make it yourself. From what I've read, the hobbyists that do the sewing and designing really lament the near death of their craft and the attention people get for simply having the money to buy the best premade stuff.
I think it's a shame that you'd rank some random tiktok girls gyrating in front of their randomly assembled wall of poserdom as above the real deal.

I wouldn't mind that, it's a plus either way for people who appreciate it, right?
I don't really know my stance on cosplayers, there's lots of different feelings I have for different aspects. I like it sexually if the cosplayer is fair-skinned and asian, but women and attentionwhoring still anger me, so it's all just material to get off to and that's it. I do also like the craftsmanship of costumes made with effort and there's something sweet and innocent in wanting to dress up and pay tribute to a character, which I think is great, but the attentionwhoring aspect sadly ruins that for me.
