This thread is for discussion of any cosplay communities/fandoms/trends you find embarrassing or cringe outside of your average costhotery. Any talk of Patreon, Onlyfans, or generally skimpy cosplays should be taken to the Costhot thread. Every few months a new insufferable fandom or trend pops up and overtakes the cosplay landscape — let’s talk about some of the ongoing ones.
Current fandom examples:

>>195568Thats not even scrapping the surface of the barrel with the crimped wigs that are seen on the regular. The technique isn't bad in it's self but it's not being taught or done properly. Crimping adds volume and should be combed out and covered with a layer of uncrimped hair and not crispy from hairspray or heat.
There isn't much quality control in this age of cosplay especially with zoomer cosplayers and even costhots. Theres more emphasis on 'being creative/differet' and all cosplay being
valid than doing things properly.

but meh, "quality control in cosplay" has always been dicey, there's always been cringe low effort messy cosplay en masse, it's not really a "kids these days" kinda thing, the current bad cosplay trends are just a different flavor than the bad cosplay of previous eras. i do feel like nowadays a lot of the "good" cosplayers on tiktok aren't anywhere near the level of the good cosplayers of the 2010s though, a lot of the cosplayers tiktok worships are just in cheap lazy shit with some random edgy accessories and flashy makeup thrown in, so yeah i get what you're saying.

Even Yaya Han is doing a bad job with the crimping
No. 200923
>>200915I think it's a bit of a stretch to word it like that because back when she rose to her original 'fame' was before instagram was even a thing and facebook was young. Her weird 2010's ego came from that. Not to say every cosplayer was ugly but tbh I feel like most early 200s 'big name' cosplayers werent lookers to begin with.
The issue comes from since then she's milked being a 'veteran big name cosplayer' to filth and having such a huge ego that she tried to make that 'Heroes of Cosplay' show make her seem like she was the best most famous cosplayer ever when her relevancy was already fading heavily at that point.
No. 200983
>>200898To be honest, I think it kind of works for her. If someone like Moo or Umbran wore it, it wouldn't look that good, but the crimping suits her and doesn't stand out the same way that umbran's non-moving helmets look. The side bangs look terrible, but this wig isn't on Yaya at least. I think she used Wisperia one time, which she should go back to.
>>200923She should have the ego she has though, tbh. She's helped mainstream cosplay, has actually put in the work to have her own line collab for fabrics, buttons, other odds and ins. She started really early with ears and worked that out of her garage. Like, Yaya is one of the very few cosplayers with skills and who's put in real work, that I say deserve to be considered a real celebrity. Costumers like her are well known within that realm outside of cosplay and it shows with people she's worked with. Now you have people posing nude, throwing on a wig, and just getting surgery for money. Yaya did look a little unfortunate in the chest area for a lot of the characters she wanted to cosplay. I don't considering a breast augmentation to be an issue either. She does good work too. Her, Nigri, and Kamui even though I know they can be argued, but compared to a lot of thots now, these three have completely gone the opposite direction with the fact that they actually still make their stuff. I just feel like unless it's builders like CBC or other.. names, idk right now, most cosplayers are so lazy now. Like look at

I wish all these clout chasers would realize that the people making money from cosplay are either selling something (books, tutorials, patterns etc.), selling nudes, doing commissions or they’re one of the few people that’s famous enough to do constant appearances (Yaya, Kamui etc. although most of them have other revenue streams as well). You’re not owed a career in your hobby just because you want it, either figure out a way to make something people want to spend money on or get a job like the rest of society. Liz probably thought sooner genderspecials would give her money for existing

Kamui Cosplay is butting heads with her followers and 3D modeler Dangerous Ladies. She purchased a DL hairpin model for her sponsored Genshin Impact build, but then strongly implied that her husband made it from scratch. Numerous people in the original post asked who modeled the hairpin or recognized it as a DL build, but Kamui didn't reply to any of them.
Pic related is DL finally subtweeting her after she and friends yet again credited the hairpin to Benni. Kamui shifted the blame to a friend, blamed everyone's poor English, and then credited on a single post. This week on multiple posts she's back to removing credit and claiming she self-built the entire cosplay herself.

>>241074I'm not whiteknighting. Pick your panties up and calm down. DL sounds beggy. End of story. kamui did credit her, just not as much as she wanted which is shitty behavior of someone who gives out mass models. She needs to go after every single person then, but she doesn't. She goes after Kamui because she's a name. She got her credit. Bitch needs to stfu already and stop trying to start drama with Kamui. If she didn't give credit at all, I would understand and be on DL's side, but the other girls aren't even tagged in her REEL either. They are all tagged under the actual photo post.
IF anons don't know, the
>>240819 is a screencap of a REEL on Instagram. No one was tagged in it and 'self made' still can count as her not buying pieces like pre-made cosplayers do. DL sounds like she's taking the 'all self made' when she did still have to make DL's model from the download. She made the model, but bitch didn't fucking MAKE it, Kamui did.

>>241185Commercial purposes means selling it, anon.. they don't mean you can't be in commercials or promo stuff. NTA you're talking about either? Trying to explain what sellers mean by this. They mean it specifically for reselling as you can mass manufacture their model like this.

No. 241198
>>241194I honestly think crediting paid 3D models is kind of stupid. 3D modeling isn't niche anymore, there's more than 1 person who has that hairpin model anyway. This just seems like the new "I painted the wings, credit me" like in 2005 when cosplayers were foaming about shit like this. At some point people need to realize that certain generic things, don't need tagging. Wigs, I get. That's a commission, but the 3D sculpt it up for anyone to use, especially if you aren't selling it, it's like going to the store and buying something yourself. You aren't going to credit the person who made the outfit 24/7. It honestly feels like a grab to modelers to beg for credit when you are the one who has to print it, sand it, prep it, paint it. It's not the same as a commission and doesn't deserve to be acknowledged the same as one either.

Now, weeks later, she does the same thing - posts that say "all hand made" and showing videos of Benny in blender. Anyone who sees that video is going to assume Benny made the model from scratch.

Cosplayers just become more conceited as time goes on, they always love making it seem like its only them and their nigel working hard but its based off of work from several other people that get left uncredited until they feel like it or someone asks a question like “how did you model x?”
Using blender and creating your own models isnt even difficult in 2022, so when you make the choice to use someone elses work even if you paid for it, crediting is the least you can do when your whole career and social media feeds are “mUh hAnD mAdE cOsshuPlAys”

>>241475Considering she’s getting hired for stuff where they need the costume made, it makes sense. Why hire a separate model to wear the costume when she’ll wear it? She’s mainly getting paid to make the costumes, and honestly they do stand up well enough that her face doesn’t matter as much.
If you look at the people who make costumes (and do it well enough to get paid for it), most of them are not model pretty. Most of them are older (late 20’s and up). Younger cosplayers are more likely to buy costumes since it’s so accessible now. I honestly hate how much cosplay has turned into a beauty contest because of social media; it’s supposed to be fun and I wish people cared about craftsmanship more.
TLDR: Kamui may be shitty and not gorgeous but her costumes are very well done (though in large part by her husband).

I'm surprised nobody's mentioning the World Cosplay Summit drama.
The summary:
WCS, for the first time ever, held a competition outside of Japan, this weekend at a convention called Gamers8.
All the contestants were invite only from previous WCS alumni. 39 countries total.
Problem is, the contest was held in Saudi Arabia, with it all being funded by the Saudi government, including the $100k prize pool. The board members of the con are the Saudi royal family.
Cosplay community is pissed because these cosplayers have chosen to go to a country that's awful for human rights.
Gets milkier because lots of the competitors went over the heads of their country's wcs organisation, and said yes independently, even when their country had directly told WCS no.
Trans cosplayers were banned from entering, so some people went without their previous cosplay partners and found someone new. No crossplay was allowed for men, but women dressing as men was fine. All female cosplayers had to be covered to the neck. Lots of fighting on twitter about whether its ok that these cosplayers went or not.
No. 245779
>>245654This doesn’t sound like an official WCS event, as the official contest was 2 months ago. This sounds like a contest for the con that wanted to have high level international competition so they invited WCS alumni. I doubt WCS would allow people to just pick a new partner to compete with because they’ve always required the team to win preliminaries to go to the finals.
Also, most of the world isn’t nearly as woke as the US. A huge number of countries would have teams who would jump at the chance to do this competition. The fact that women had to be fully covered was probably more of a deterrent to teams than Saudi politics.

>>245779I am an alumni myself and this is official, but yeah, looks like a scuffed situation. Distanced myself from this event and cosplay after I competed due to how ugly a lot of this kind of thing and the people can get.
In order to make things happen if Saudi Arabia bans some cosplayers, I can totally see WCS bending their usual rules in order to make it possible for a country to still send a team. This isn't unheard of to me. It was even possible in case of emergency when I competed.
There is an article linking this Gamers8 event with the official WCS organization if you search online. You can also see it posted about on official WCS channels like their Instagram.

Gamers8, the con it's being held at, is one of those propaganda events the Saudis are using to rehab the country's image to the rest of the world and make it attractive for business and tourism, similar to F1 and LIV Golf, except in the latter's case even multi-millionaire athletes turned down the money on ethical grounds. The $100k prize pool didn't get announced until after the teams agreed to go so basically all these cosplayers who decided to attend agreed to be Saudi propaganda for cosplay clout and a free vacation.

>>249479they choose to do HETALIA out of everything ? wow idk if I'm more impressed by the decision of trying to push the boundaries of the contest' rules or the sheer courage it takes to cosplay Hetalia on stage in year 2022.
But all that drama is quite interesting I must say. People in the West kinda forgets sometimes that there are countries where you can go to jail for a cosplay performance.

Saya scarlet, a russian cosplayer known for cosplaying Hatsune Miku, went on twitter complaining about western accusations of rascism. She only released the tweets in (poor) Japanese so pardon the shit-tier translation.
No. 257377
>>257365I mean, it’s a little retarded to only tweet in Japanese when she’s Russian. But the girl leaving the comments is also retarded because no one gives a shit if you wear makeup with traditional Japanese clothes….. has this bitch never heard of gyaru? They wear tons of makeup with kimono. And I don’t know how having chains on her nails is disrespectful.
Russian cosplayers do dumb shit like blackface and then complain about getting shit on, but this girl doesn’t seem to be doing anything wrong. The retard on tik tok is cringier than her.

Amazonian Cos - a UK cosplayer so obnoxious and self-loving that Twitter suspended her - just won the Cosplay Crown and will not shut up about it. This is noteworthy because she has become even more vocal about her opinions as an authority on all things cosplay. It's more noteworthy because she's been called out in the past for fibbing about how much of this Sansa Stark cosplay she actually made herself. She took to Twitch a few months ago to complain that this was just her "haters" talking and it was fine that her stepfather heavily assisted in making the breastplate (the most impressive part of the cosplay) because it was too dangerous or she was unqualified. You can see him in the background of videos working on pieces by himself while she's elsewhere, grinding and firing it in other videos. It's unlikely she admitted this level of assistance to the judges considering how much she brags about this piece and how much she pushed back when people said she got too much help
Her new unsuspended Twitter is Megabethbob but she will tweet drama and immediately delete it if anyone gives her heat. Recent deleted hot takes include how she will run cosplay contests better than anyone else, Americans are ruining cosplay contests, and House of the Dragon plagerised their costumes from larpers.

>>263900She won back in MAY unless she won again recently. And other entrants might have had help. Theres no rules about having help. Everyone had the opportunity to have help to make their cosplays. Big name designers have teams in reality outside of cosplay. I don't understand this elitism that everything must be done by the wearer only. Fucking tired of this community. You're all just toddlers.
No. 263976
>>263955The final was last week, you bozo. She qualified as the UK rep in May.
The way I see it half the problem is how much she praises her own work while putting down others. If she was a nicer person nobody would care but Amazonian has a bad rap for a reason.
No. 264022
>>263970I don’t know if I’d call it the biggest part of the costume. The rest of the costume is very nice and there’s a lot of detailed embroidery and the crown is sculpted and casted. If she patterned and cut out the metal and then someone else did the welding with her direction I don’t think that’s too awful if she told them that. I’ve done some work with metal for jewelry making and doing the cutting and polishing is a lot of work, more so than soldering/welding.
I don’t know anything about her as a person so she might be a giant bitch and she might have lied. But it’s overall a very nice costume.
No. 264041
>>264037She IS outsourcing the construction if she can't operate the machinery.
There's a big difference between a friend helping hold something and someone makes it for you while you're hands off. If she disclosed this to the judges that would be one thing, but she's been bragging nonstop about the metalworking difficulty and how hard she worked alone. This is no different from getting a 3d model from someone else and claiming you made it all because you printed it.
No. 264050
>>264041That happens all the time? A guy who won the costume contest at Dragon Con with a Buzz Lightyear costume was very open that he got the print files from a friend. Did he tell the judges? Who knows.
Costume contests almost always have some people who somehow win high prizes despite having seemingly mediocre costumes. Unless contests start releasing score sheets after the fact, we’ll never know why these people win.
No. 264183
>>263955May was the qualifier, she won the championship this weekend. The crown is a big deal for craft cosplayers and cheating is equally a big deal. You obviously don't care about contests or you'd know how qualifiers work.

No. 264214
>>263900I can tell you that as a tog at MCM her name is mud. She was openly demanding togs photograph her. Even whilst in the middle of other shoots. And she was shouting in the nearby tescos to the poor cashier that she won the contest. No one else in the shop gave a shit or even heard of her before that.
Cosplayers are bitchy by default but they usually at least try to hide it. This bitch was screaming at people in public in full view of everyone. Clear mental issues.
No. 264216
>>264108I didn’t say I don’t care, but we also don’t know that she cheated. She may have been perfectly honest with the judges about what she did and didn’t do, but WE DON’T KNOW. Unless a judge comes out and says what they were told, we won’t know. If she’s posting about it publicly, it’s likely she was honest, because most competitions will absolutely revoke an award if they find out that rules were broken. Her stepdad welding the metal together because she wasn’t able to safely use that equipment would fall under help, not outsourcing. And if she made everything else on her costume independently, which it appears that she did, the judges may have still deemed it as being the best entry, even taking into account that she got help on it.
If there’s more information, please share it, but right now I don’t see any blatant cheating. If you have proof of it, email the organizers and tell them so she gets her award revoked. But right now, it just comes across as people being bitter that she won and pointing out that she admitted she got help with one aspect of one piece of the costume, with no evidence that she did not tell the judges this.

>>264243This is why most crafters don't like her. She picks fights all the time because she lives up her own arse regarding that Sansa dress. She often accuses other Sansa cosplayers of plagerising her if their leaf embroidery looks too similar to her own (pic related is a call out, with the actual Game of Thrones show dress they're both recreating on the right)
Behavior like that is why brushing her blacksmithing help under the rug is relevant.
No. 264271
>>264254The only truly international competition is WCS really because they have representatives from most countries and pay for them to travel to the finals while pretty much every other competition requires you to pay your own way. Which ends up limiting who can afford to travel internationally to compete for something that, if there’s a cash prize, usually won’t even pay for the supplies for the costume itself, let alone travel.
The problem with cosplay competitions is that it’s very subjective on a lot of things; while some construction is objectively better than others, it becomes very hard to compare sewn costumes to armor costumes, as well as people who took creative liberties as opposed to a straight replica. And a lot of judges give higher scores to their friends.

>>264248If she copied the OG dress why the fuck is she whining about someone copying her? She copied the og so it's literally the same no matter who is doing it. She needs to chill the fuck out.
>>264271WCS also puts less stock in the crafting and more in the performance. It's only gotten so popular because cosplayers are weebs who want to brag about going to glorious Japan. Not to say it isn't a good competition if that's what you're after, though, just that it matters less if you do your own welding or whatever versus a competition like Crown.

this is some of the dumbest shit i've seen in a while. she doesn't even mention a contract, just "putting things on the dress" whatever the fuck that means. and not to mention dress rental is often extremely costly, with a lot of money spent on repairs and cleanings. plus, the cosplay itself doesn't look that good. cosplay sales groups are among the cringest parts of the community by far. they're a gold mine for bad cosplay photos and generally embarrassing behavior.
No. 278638
>>278619In the same vein why is renting cosplays such a big thing now? Because "fast fashion"? I'm not gonna wear a cosplay 80 people have worn, sweated in, and torn apart. It's so fucking annoying seeing sales groups flooded with rental posts, especially when they're only 1/3 in English with no details/sizes/prices and just a stock photo.
That's a ridiculous price, too. I could buy my own custom-made Aurora dress for $300 and wear it all I want, not just for three days and then have to worry about making sure it's clean and nothing is broken or torn in order to send it back to someone.

If it’s true that there were visible spots where the foam was unfinished, then he had no chance.
I’m tired of people thinking that any armor, no matter how ill fitting and finished, is better than needlework. The winner has been working on that costume for literally years because it’s entirely embroidered and beaded by hand. Including the linings.
Anyway, Trinity Blood was is only really impressive if it’s absolutely perfect, which it very rarely is. It’s like Sakizou costumes: if they proportions or craftsmanship aren’t immaculate, it looks like a gilded turd.

I’m no expert at sewing (would never claim to be either) but whilst it’s impressive in the amount of effort it would’ve taken , even her yellow arm band thing is clearly messy. Some of the lace appliqués look like they’re half falling off too
Half the problem seems to be cosplayers make costumes for the sole purpose of winning these days.

most of my instagram feed is people planning costumes years in advance, based purely on the complexity of the design and not much else. maybe i just have a lot of different interests but even if they only cosplay from a couple shows, i don't get the sense that they're big fans.

Girl, why are you still trying to justify your bad behavior when you act like this at every contest? Who's going to believe you didn't mean to be a bitch all those times, you've just got anxiety/exhaustion/insert excuse?

No. 310056
>>310053I’ve seen a ton of cosplayers posting stories about being a sore loser. I think it’s mostly directed at the bookshelf dude because he literally trying to start a hashtag about being robbed. He deleted everything but it’s been seen by everyone and passed around. He’ll be lucky to get a spot in any big competition again unless it’s just first come first served. Which high level competitions usually aren’t; they’re based on the quality/level of the costume. But he’s made it clear he’s a piss poor sport and people don’t want to deal with that.
I think this girl saw Trinity Blood as being a costume that easily wins contests. Which was true… in 2006. When there was no worbla, Eva foam wasn’t common to be used, quality materials were harder to find etc. these days it’s just not as impressive. Especially if she commissioned parts of it. The costume is impressive for a novice, decent for a journeyman and meh for masters. She was on the low end of the skill level even entering this contest.
No. 310072
>>310067The judging criteria for this contest is literally online, and it's widely known that NYCC and the crown are judged almost solely on craftsmanship and difficulty. You don't get points for "prettiness" or "I liked the source design more." That's called judging bias.
>Plenty of people have just made a cosplay and tossed it up there and won beforeSource? This is one of the biggest contests in the country. Which of the past winners do you think just slapped something together?
No. 310074
>>310067Some contests may value aesthetics over craftsmanship, but not this one. The judging criteria is literally 30% accuracy or design interpretation (in the case of original designs like the third place black lagoon design) and 70% craftsmanship. So the Thor was literally only judged on how close her costume matches the film costume, and how well it was constructed.
Also, yes, some people enter a contest with something “thrown together” and win, but this isn’t one of those contests. You have to submit progress pictures or pictures of the finished costume to even be considered, and it’s one of the highest level contests in the country since it’s a regional qualifier for Crown Championship of Cosplay. The winner of those finals competes in the international contest. So no, no one is throwing things together and winning this contest.

And all of this for a cosplay she didn't even make half of. I'm surprised after her NYCC response she managed to slip through the cracks to still compete at ANYC.

>>312842She was probably already signed up for ANYC when NYCC happened, so it was too late. She will likely have issues getting into contests in the future that aren’t first come first served due to being so outspoken about being butthurt about not winning, but that’s not something that would get someone pulled from a contest.
If it’s truly against the rules to enter in a costume that has won before, she might get her award revoked if it gets back to the judges. But it’s more likely that people will just remember and won’t respect her.
No. 312910
>>312881She won’t be “banned”, you’d have to do something really blatant like enter a costume you didn’t make (like completely, not parts). It’s more like, if there’s a contest where they pick the best applicants to actually compete (which is the case with most big craftsmanship based contests), the judges will probably not pick her if they know her history, even if she’s good enough to make the contest. She’ll just get told she didn’t make the cut, even if she would have otherwise. If it’s a first come first served contest, she might make it if they actually go by the order, but if there’s a few spots and more people than that and she’s towards the end of the line? I could see them bumping her out of the actual lineup if it wouldn’t be obvious that she was bumped (and there are a lot of contests that fill up in minutes so it wouldn’t necessarily be obvious. Although if it’s open for days and she entered right away, she’d probably be ok since it would be hard to explain it away).
Basically, if people running the contests know who she is (which they likely do in her area/region), she’ll have a much harder time getting a spot than if she had just kept her mouth shut and been gracious. No one likes to lose, many of us haven’t placed as well as we thought we should have in contests, but we smile, either don’t mention it on socials or talk about how supportive everyone was/kind everyone was/amazing the winners were and bitch about it to trusted friends only. People don’t quickly forget when you have a reputation for being a sore loser.

She's not much of a cow anymore but this made me kek. While ebegging for wisdom tooth removal she just had to slip in that they said she's smol (doubt) and that's why they're impacted.

>>313929This is really embarrassing, but there are a lot of cosplayers that act like this nowadays. I think I used to follow this girl back in 2018 too. She literally bought an Amazon cosplay and thought that some editing and lighting would equal a huge social media surge of love. It is low effort, and her trying to justify it because she 'put on eyelashes and makeup' is weak. That's the basics of this hobby.
I don't know if this is just older cosplayers trying to cope with losing significance as our hobby becomes more saturated. What might have made a splash 10 years ago is now the norm. Before, making cosplays required out of the box thinking, crafting and skill as materials were hard to come by. Now, you can learn many skills from other cosplayers online, there are cosplay books, and materials/cosplays are more affordable and easily available. It's hard to swallow, but once you let go of ego, it makes the hobby way more enjoyable cause it's for you vs trying to validate yourself with likes from strangers on Insta.

I think Kinpatsu believes this response is a serve to the 'haters' who thought her OF/sexy content was going to flop. But I wouldn't consider follower count to equal success or respect, especially when the majority of those 'fans' are moids, other SW and bots. It's one of those quality over quantity situations. At first when she announced her decision to create an OF, it was understandable since she just got out of a long relationship and wants to explore different avenues. She promised she would keep cosplaying and updating her main account with tutorials and projects. But my main problem is with her pointing out that a year has gone by and what? She got shitty bolt ons that are way too big for her, she's engaged to a flop of a guy that seems as wishy washy and unreliable as her, and her main account has barely any activity other than to promote her online store. It's pretty clear she has no love for the hobby anymore and maybe that's a result of her ex pushing it on her as it was their main income source, but what a waste it's come to. All those years of crafting, experience, reputation (even to be included as guest judge), just to blow it off so you can post the same tired content as all the other girls in the category.

So what happened with Jez Roth at Anime Los Angeles? This has got to be the fifth cosplayer I've seen lately venting to social media when they lose a contest.

No. 318660
>>318639To be fair, it is frustrating when you make everything including undergarments (I mean hoopskirts/petticoats/corsets etc) and get beaten by someone who just bought one. But unfortunately judges often don’t give much weight to things like that, even if they’re necessary to get the correct proportions. However, this looks trashy and “rococo punk” is pretty much an oxymoron. The costumes don’t even looks good from what can be seen here. It’s hard to tell if the post is salty or just saying “we won awards in craftsmanship and performance and we made everything” in a proud way. I’m not familiar with this cosplayer.
I haven’t done the ALA masquerade for years but it used to be that judges could give as many awards as they wanted to those who had different aspects of excellence, which is actually way better for people obsessed with winning awards because you’re not limited to placing in your level and best in show.

Either way, the costumes don’t look good. Maybe they’re constructed decently but the designs are hideous. I could see them being passed over for best in show simply for that, or because they’re original designs rather than replica costumes; many contests aren’t big on original designs in general.

>>319169My bad, I got the cons mixed up. That’s the contest I was referring to. I’ve never competed in the crown championships but everyone who knows about these big craftsmanship contests knows that you can’t enter stuff that you didn’t make yourself. “Upgrading” may be allowed in some contests, but not big ones like this.
>>319186It is possible that she purchased the fabric from Angel Secret (they do sell it, and it’s the only way to get the exact match to the parks fabric, it’s a well known fact in Disney costume circles), and the dress worn by the cosplayer doesn’t match the Angel Secret costume (it doesn’t have the sequin front panel, just a solid front panel), as well as the peplums looking bigger than the Angel Secret dress. It’s entirely possible that she asked for them to make the dress with these changes to make it less obvious, but it’s also possible that she did make it. Cinderella is pretty easy, it’s not very detailed and most people with a good grasp of dress making could make it easily. It definitely is not worth $1000 though, that price alone is pretty scammy in my opinion.

>>319198I went to the og and the one on the left has the tule arms too. With the slit. The dresses aren't the same cut at all just because they both look like Cinderella. The fabric is the same, but the dress is not. This is such a reach and this is fucked up to be messaging people and telling them you
think they got scammed and then creating some false witch hunt. There's reasons to get on her without this fake shit. The cosplay community is no longer good and everyone likes to try and make themselves be the bettest, look-at-me, social justice warrior of the crowd. This user is a dumbass and so is the clown dressed up as Jester. These two should be embarrassed to have made these callout posts.

There is a document on this guy but I thought he should be discussed.
Chosenmii / chosenmiicosplay is a cosplayer who was recently banned from Nekocon due to humping and making out with a peach body pillow on the masquerade stage (it was not in any part of his skit during rehearsal)
https://www.instagram.com/chosenmiicosplay This is his instagram. He posts pictures of cosplayers with very inappropriate captions. He also has had others come out stating that when they deny a photo being taken, he will follow them around.
He also has a deviantart as well, with fetishizing art of women being beaten up.

>FIRST DAY OF CON: cosplayer did lines of drugs>cosplayer cannot find panels and was sitting in a random panel apparently even after the panel was over>someone from the company the cosplayer was supposed to be hired for finally found them, their cosplay wasn't even secure and was flashing people at the actual con by accident, but was still on drugs, so not much of an accident IMO>cosplayer went up to people, bragged about being a professional cosplayer, rating cosplayers without asking, going up to cosplayers wearing the same outfit as her and saying how she looks better and they don't>csoplayer was caught on video rubbing against walls and talking to it (I will be looking for that to post)>gentalia was out apparently, cosplay pieces were missing>Ribbon is getting calls and messages about it when she wasn't even at the con to wrangle this cosplayer. a mentor is not the same as someone in charge of you, so this cosplayer is on their own>company decided to sever hiring ties with the intoxicated cosplayer, but allowed her to keep the badge for the weekend since the hotel is already charged and all, just can't work in their panels or booths>the cosplayer then said "no" and asked them to take E with her, they obviously didn't and told her she needed to change into a different cosplay because the company doesn't want what she is wearing to reflect on them and they didn't want people to acknowledge the cosplay she was barely wearing was connected to them>she changed>went out to parties>new cosplay wasn't even a cosplay, kept showing off a g-string and tits popping out and flashing people on purpose>she kept going around and grabbing random men[we sure this wasn't Moo lol]
>kept going on about how all men want this and she's a woman and they should be loving this>she got removed and companies were talking, she's banned by at least 42 companies and cons combined now>knows for sure they are banned from katsu [not sure about other cons, so not sure how Ribbon came up with the number and say 'countless cons']This whole time she still never said a name.

Was this a booth babe situation? It's Katsu, not NYCC, booths don't have to compete for attention because there's barely any programming happening (especially this year).
This whole situation sounds weird as fuck.

>>321774To add to what nonna was trying to say, the Hazbin Hotel issue has been all over my cosplay feed. Mainly:
> Hazbin Hotel being an 18+ show with mature themes and content with explicit characters. > Teens are cosplaying characters from the show, it's particularly Angel Dust that people get really uncomfortable about because the character is a porn star > Cosplayers over 18 are issuing 'statements' that they don't want to see teenagers/minors cosplaying from Hazbin Hotel as it's disturbing to them and teens not cosplaying from HH protects underage kids from inviting themselves into adult spaces where they could be harmedI've seen most people in my community mimic the same stand as dinobunny, and only a few that don't think it's a big deal/don't think you can stop teens from cosplaying from a show. Personally, I don't think what you cosplay is an automatic yes or no to invite into adult situations or someone taking advantage of you (a creep is going to try and take advantage of a Hazbin Hotel cosplayer no different than a Sailor Moon cosplayer). I remember back when teens were cosplaying literal hentai characters at conventions, but back then there wasn't really any conversation about what is appropriate to cosplay. But I don't think this is really going to 'help' anyone, kids/teens are still going to be able to watch the content and participate in the fandom, so I don't really get why not dressing up as the character is suddenly a whole new thing. It's coming off as 'older' cosplayers (aka 24 year olds) gatekeeping a fandom to 'protect' the innocents and feel more like righteous idols full of knowledge and wisdom

>>322177I'm really surprised this has gained any traction. I was sure this would end up with all the crybaby teenagers saying since they wanted to cosplay Hazbin, it made it off limit for anyone over 18 because if minors were involved it automatically makes it predatory for non-minors to participate. To see a bunch of adults fully claim something first is refreshing even if the logic is stupid.
>>322214There's always been predators at cons. Cons now are so much safer and teens are way more aware of predators in general.
Predators search out clueless and easily manipulable kids no matter what they're cosplaying. Predators will pretend to like whatever the flavor of the day is even if it's the most G rated shit. Look at how crazy Steven Universe got.

>>322292This is very true. Cons are much safer now than they were before. There is much more social awareness about what is acceptable behavior and that makes it harder for creeps to succeed. Also more people having cameras/being aware to creep tactics (like guys creeping outside bathrooms or following people, con-goers staying in groups). But sadly it's now becoming normal for creeps to resort to straight up drugging people on con floors.
I think if cosplayers really want to have an effect, it's going to include more than just shaming/discouraging teens out of adult fandoms. Cons might have to start implementing an age restriction to certain M+ areas or check IDs of all cosplayers and compare it to an agreed list of what cosplays are acceptable to wear since you can at least have some control of what people do at a con vs online (kinda like weapon checks). I remember there was a cosplayer who was wearing a Kill la Kill style outfit (thong bodysuit) and was a minor when she wore it. Then years later, a photographer who took a photo of her uploaded it on insta, and she called him out for sharing it since she was a minor and it showed her backside. I'm not sure if the photographer was aware of her age, because if he was that's creep behavior. But maybe if there was a rule in place that cosplayers under a certain age can't wear cosplays from certain fandoms or show more nudity, it might help with the protection aspect that is currently being discussed.

>>322466I think a lot of anon equate dealing with glomping and FREE HUG signs and paddles is something we were okay with as kids, but it was uncomfortable walking around and then you had to watch any little siblings in case some gross guy dressed as Goku with no shirt tries to run up to them and hug them without permission. Like.. They were never safe. That stuff back then and the adults perpetuating it and making it seem normalized wasn't okay either. They are less safe now due to micro cameras and how many normies know about the cosplay scene.
>>322489NTA, but I didn't read that as party cons never existed. They did, but they have branched out significantly since the cosplay scene has evolved since 2010. More cons have more after party events and it's not just stuff like Cosplay Deviant After Dark parties anymore [I don't even know if they even do those still] which only the bigger cons would host. It's just way more prevalent now.
