Yeah, for children's plays and stuff, I don't view them much differently than say people in sports mascot outfits.

The whole sexual kink isn't my thing either, but I don't have the whole freak-out, visceral reaction that a lot of other people report.

[world_eater]

I don't agree with them being better than cute people that look like the characters, but as mascot costumes I don't see a problem either.

[solticisekf]

Anime faces in RL look creepy to me. And the mascs with a skin immitating material is double creepy. I don't even like cosplay with special lenses wich make eyes bigger and more manga-like, to tell the truth. =/

[elaminator]

I rarely see these but ngl, they creep me out a bit. I would much rather an actual person dressing up as a character than one of these. However, I def wouldn't go so far as 'kill it with fire', though I don't get the appeal.

[(Anonymous)]

Just curious, why do you think they'd be better at Disney? I'm assuming you mean for the princesses? Not that I ever went to Disney as a kid but if I had, these would have terrified me.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. They are way too uncanny valley for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm not sure they bother me exactly but having them on the princesses at Disney would be pretty awful. They can't change their expressions and who would want such dead eyes on their princesses? Talking to the children? ew.

[(Anonymous)]

I can see how they might work in a stage show, where you only see them at a distance, but not as costumed characters that people get to get up close to. That's just going to terrify children. It also just wouldn't match the established Disney park character style. Even human characters with exaggerated facial features like the Mad Hatter are played by people without masks.

[(Anonymous)]

it's the lifeless, unchanging expressions that bother me - and mean they would be terrible for children in theme parks. have you seen kids screaming in terror at Goofy and Mickey? now imagine them doing that to Cinderella. Face characters need to be able to do more than smile when they emote.

that, and I'm not comfortable reducing human faces to mascots. there's something off-putting about going to that extreme end to reproduce a drawing. artistic representations of humans are just that - art - and to then force reality to conform to the art is a little ridiculous. the art was drawn to represent a normal human in the first place, so the brain doesn't see "giant eyes, tiny triangle nose, tiny lips with a little highlight mark," it sees "human being with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth." bah, I can never explain myself in that regard but I had to try.

They're terrible looking because skin is not completely opaque like paint . What looks good in animation =/= what looks good in real life, and these masks don't even attempt to look lively or real, and what results is a "dead" looking skintone that naturally makes people uncomfortable. Humans have a natural aversion to corpses, and something that looks vaguely human with dead papery skin and unblinking eyes...

And Disney using them in the parks would mean there would be absolutely no characters kids could actually talk to...

I wouldn't ever go the kill it with fire route, but those kind of creep me out.

[(Anonymous)]

And I wouldn't blame kids for being creeped out, either. Maybe it is a mask thing, but I look at those and just want to back away.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering that as a child I was always creeped out by nurses because ALL THE DID WAS SMILE. I think I would've been creeped out by these things too. They make more sense to me as a fetish thing even, because they're So Damn Creepy.

Disney did use one for their Sora face character. It was creepy as fuck.

The only kigurumi I don't find creepy is the Sega Miku one they had walking around at 39's Caravan (not Mikudayo, the doll like one with the wig)

[iggy]

They used them for Vanellope and Ralph recently, and it was a big disappointment imo.

Human characters should be face characters, unless they're cartoony looking to the point that no one could pull them off without being in makeup for eight hours.

[kurenai_tenka]

Disney did use one for their Sora face character. It was creepy as fuck.

*Googles* Hooooooly fuck I will never be able to unsee that. D=
