06. I'm a relatively tolerant and open person, I don't really care for the ethnicity of a person, but every time I see a Japanese girl who goes "zomg I = kawaiii cuz I come from teh land of dem Manga and Anime! I knows teh language so I understand them before you! Worship me $ mah culture, desouuuuu~ <33333" I want to kill her with fire.

Okay, so your country produces something that's known and loved world-wide. So what? I have no reason to worship you, unless you're like, my fav mangaka. I think it's correct to use the term "weeaboo" for the people who do worship anything Japanese, it's an unhealthy obsession. I'm a cosplayer and read manga, but not because I'm crazy about you or your people - I happen to like sewing and costumes, period.

Also, going on saying the worship goes to the entire culture and typical physical appearance is a bit lot overboard. It's a matter of opinion. Personally, I find, say, Europe's history (pick any country from it) and its culture a lot more interesting both in its psychological and development point of view. I don't know what do you get away with, or who lets you get away with it, but if I were in your shoes, I'd have some doubts if I'm not a shallow person for others to have to resort to seeing me as my country's stereotype instead of and individual. Just saying.

On a final note (which I really wouldn't have written normally, but flimsy points of view like yours provoke me to no end) I don't see the whole fuss about the Japanese. Give me a nice, fair-haired, blue-eyed, tall, busty or wide-shouldered (according to respectful gender) Caucasian any day. But it's not about the appearance so much as it is about your ingroup/outgroup elitism; where what you call 'elite' makes the rest of the world raise an eyebrow because to most, you all look and act alike.

You are nice people with an interesting tradition. Thank you for posting this secret; I advise you keep it locked and safe from the rest of the world if you don't want whoever lets you get away with stuff to smarten up and treat you for the hollow elitist you are.

56. LOL. I pat your back, troll. You are made of WIN. Tho if you're not a troll - LURK MOAR.

63. Like I said above - we may cosplay for different reasons, but you're absolutely right. Being a good cosplayer takes skill, intelligence, charisma, guts and a social life (which you expand by being a cosplayer), things that most people who call cosplayers stupid (or worse adjectives) don't have, from my experience at least. I'd like to see any of them -try- to be a cosplayer for 24 hours. Or have them make a costume.
