I think that picture kinda explains what was wrong with it. It wasn't "Look at amusing or crappy costumes," just "Look, it's a fat person!" even if, like in that picture, it's a pretty decent costume. I think people got bored of that. There's only so long you can go "Ha-ha! Fat person!" before it gets old.

'There's only so long you can go "Ha-ha! Fat person!" before it gets old.'

Or before the number of people you're entertaining is overshadowed by the number of people who are pissed off at you, and for good reason.

[(Anonymous)]

the same thing happened with lolita_fucks comms. They started out being like "lol look at this outfit" and quickly became "omg this girl is fat/unattractive!", which isn't fun at all.

[(Anonymous)]

But this implies that it'd be okay to mock people just for the costumes. It's really not okay to post a picture of someone without their consent and make fun of them just because their costume isn't up to your standards. It's just being an asshole for fun at the expense of others.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it's not shitty to mock cosplayers for being fat.

[(Anonymous)]

It's things like that sort of stuff that makes me, a professional costumer who happens to be a fat person, shy away from things that I think would be fun.

Yes yes, holy shit, fat person with feelings on the internet.

[visp]

Y'know, there are assholes who will make fun of fat cosplayers, sure. But they shittalk the skinny ones for being not pretty enough, having breasts that are too small, etc. and if she's perfect-looking they call her a whore who's only faking her geeky interest so that angry nerds will pay attention to her. There's no way you can please the haters, so to hell with them and rock your costume.

[tamabonotchi]

You know, there are other places on the Internet that still do this if you really need your fix of laughing at fat people in cosplay. Cgl had a bad cosplay thread not too long ago.

[(Anonymous)]

Because fat people are disgusting and need to never do anything fun, lest your poor pathetic eyeballs be assaulted.

Grow the fuck up.

[(Anonymous)]

This, thank you!

[(Anonymous)]

This!

[green_hellfish_of_doom]

This! This! This! I am so goddamn sick of people deciding who can cosplay and who can't!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a fatty fat fatass. This secret makes me want to cosplay Slave Leia. Thanks, FS!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah we need more fat shaming on the internet. Fat people don't have feelings don't ya know.

[(Anonymous)]

But they can CHANGE. That's what I don't understand. Don't wear a skimpy costume if you aren't going to look the part! Nobody is telling you to not have fun, they're just asking that you look accurate.

RELATED SECRET: possibly trigger warnings for eating disorder/fat shaming

[(Anonymous)]

I read every fat-shaming thread I can get my fatty fat fingers on because being reminded that I'm a worthless subhuman strengthens my hate for myself and this motivates me to eat less and workout more and harder. Someday I'll be a person worthy of respect. Someday, when I'm thin, I can like myself and have a life. But, now, I'm nothing but a fat, ugly bitch and I deserve nothing.

[ooh_mrdarcy]

Kinda OT but that costume looks awesome. Quistis is one of my fave FF girls fo sho.

[(Anonymous)]

The people saying the costume is amazing kind of horrify me. If it was fitted correctly and made of more structured material it could be great. Instead it screams "Hi, I'm made of cheap broadcloth! See me bulge and wrinkle and make the cosplayer look like a striped flaccid penis" Better materials would give a much better look.

Though I will give them props that the satin trim didn't wrinkle to hell and back, that takes talent.

[(Anonymous)]

I wondered when a materials snob would show up.

[(Anonymous)]

You sound like you know more about clothing materials than most would. All I get from that costume (and most cosplay) is "recognizable as [insert character]".

[(Anonymous)]

This. It's just poorly constructed and badly fitted. If it were fitted properly? She would look just fine.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS THIS THIS. And if someone is calling you a materials snob, take it as a compliment, babe. I shudder to think how they dress.

[nailtek]

Amen. Miss them so much.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too! One of me and my friends' favorite past-times is standing around at conventions and making fun of people. It's hash, but true. The way I see it, if you're overweight and trying to wear the costume of someone who ISN'T, you kinda get what's coming. You put yourself out there, in a costume, you're sort of walking onto a stage and you WILL be judged.

If I can diet for a month to drop 15 pounds, hit the gym 5x a week, just to try to look the part of my character (as well as have an amazing costume), you can too. No excuses!

[netbug009]

Tough. Go find something else to do. I have no sympathy for you missing out on bullying others about their body type or cosplay skill level. Cosplay is supposed to be fun.
