Re: Opinions people judge you for

[diet_poison]

Hmm, yeah, that's pretty elitist.

I definitely don't think people should be randomly cut slack in, say, a costume contest. But cosplaying because you want to is like wearing the clothes you want to wear and while yeah you're free to say whatever you want, criticizing someone's not-professionally-done cosplay that they are clearly just wearing for fun because you feel entitled to only looking at pretty/fancy/super accurate cosplays in public places is assholish. Let people have their fun.

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[coffeeyoukai]

I wouldn't really consider that cosplay though. For me, cosplay is about trying to represent the character as best as I can. I see it as something different from, say, just putting on the character's clothes for fun.

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[ketita]

Yeah, but people on the con floor, that's literally what they're doing. They're putting on the character's clothes for fun.

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[coffeeyoukai]

Eh. Like I said, I draw a line between cosplaying and just having fun. Not that cosplay isn't fun in itself, but I consider it to be more than just putting on clothes.

Then when you see people in costume, how do you know who is cosplaying and who is just having fun wearing the costume of a character?

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[diet_poison]

But your definition of cosplay is not universal, and imposing your own definition for the sake of argument is rather silly. If what you meant was "professional cosplay" then you should have said so.

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[coffeeyoukai]

But I don't mean professional cosplay. What I'm saying is that I think people should put effort into cosplaying, otherwise I don't think it counts as cosplay at all.

Not universal, yeah, that's why it's an opinion.

Do you feel that way about all hobbies?

I bake. Should I only put my efforts towards baking really challenging and impressive things? If I just want to make some cookies does that mean I'm note really baking?

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[diet_poison]

so basically your opinion is that you want to re-define a commonly accepted word.

I guess I don't really have a response to that. I think it's pretty dumb, but I can't really argue with it...

Re: Opinions people judge you for

[(Anonymous)]

Okay but what do you count as effort? I'm on the poorer end. I can't afford to do a perfect representation, and instead I do what I can. I still look enough like the character that people recognize who I am, and that's, to me, what matters.
