What is your opinion on cosplay?

[Rip Bozo]

Is it degenerate? Dysgenic? Noncey? An incel fantasy? Fat lesbian wish fulfilment? Discuss.

Spoiler: Examples

 

[Schwarzwald]

Kinda like Trick-or-Treating for adults, but instead of candy they get Internet tips from horny nerds jacking off to them.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Your examples are all trannies, aren't they?

My opinion of cosplaying: Women who do it are usually BPD 6/10 whores who are grifting money from lonely nerds. There is not one single normal female cosplayer.

 

[JamusActimus]

This is actually a g8 b8 m8

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Anything that forces weeaboos to wear more clothing is an absolute win in my book. Nah im kidding, the more skin the better

 

[ElHijodeDeficienciaCogni]

I cosplay as Dale Gribble on an almost daily basis and barely anyone notices.

 

[DumbDude43]

attention whore hobby

My opinion is that I don't care.

Not true. One of them is 100% a true blue woman. I'll let you guess which.

As with everything context and intent matters.

Someone dressing up as their favorite character to attend a relevant convention is not inherently bad.

Dressing in an provocative/sexy manner with the intent of provoking lust in others is inherently wrong, costume or otherwise.

There is a bit of a grey area when the character in question is normally dressed in such a manner and the cosplayer's intention is only to be accurate. Personally I would argue the characters original depiction is wrong for the same reason of intentionally provoking lust and thus by extension the cosplayer is wrong for perpetuating that intention even if they do not actively share in it.

Another concern arises in people who cosplay with the intention of rejecting their own God-given identity, but that's a highly esoteric discussion we don't need to get into here.

Finally I would conclude that someone cosplaying in absence of appropriate context is unusual and full of potential for negative implications. Drawing on the Halloween analogy it would be like a kid wearing a Halloween costume to school in March. It's inappropriate at best and indicative of the identity rejection concern at worst.

Ok... Cool... Nice... WAIT WHAT THE FU-

Fuck, this is a hard one. I'm going with the one in the Princess Leia bikini covered in cutting scars even though that jaw line and hair line make me suspicious but cutting is very much a girl thing. The other three are wearing outfits that hide what their body looks like while not being obese so they're more likely to be trannies. Is my guess right?

I don't know about the other three but yes. That is our very own AndroidRaptor (pbuh) and she is indeed a woman.

 

[Unicorn Fairie]

I like to dress up as a woman and fantasize myself being with a strong, hairy man

 

[oldTireWater]

It's for children.

Even if you are a woman that's pretty gay.
Tell him to shave ffs.

 

[TATE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!]

The cosplay of mobile suits from Gundam or fully functional transformers is pretty badass to see.

 

[LolRaccoon]

It's fun

 

[Duke Nukem]

I think that Chris Chan's attempts at cosplay are funny, but I am not in contact with anyone who actually does it.

Honestly it's pretty amazing how far some people go to portray characters in the flesh.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

Hey that last girl in your examples looks pretty crazy. What are those, self harm marks all over her legs? She looks like the type of person who'd probably sit on an internet forum whining about abortion, religion, and how much she'd like to throw babies into ceiling fans.

For real though, I think it seems dumb, but tbh I'm kind of jealous of cows like Adam White or Pixyteri who are on cloud 9 whenever they do cosplay nonsense.
I wish I was half as happy doing anything nowadays as these fucking idiots are walking around dressed up as some videogame or anime character.
