Guess I'm going to be the voice of dissension here.

If you want to dress up like her, fine--but be honest about why. Don't lie about reading the comics, playing the games, etc, and get ready for any shit thrown your way.

As someone who dresses up as *this* version, and loves the games, I personally get pretty annoyed at people dressing up as things they have no real love/association for.

Cosplay is a way for me to show my love of a character/a series/etc--

---not to show my new found confidence off.

If you want to be sexy, find a character that you *like* who is sexy, and dress up like that.

Because yeah, you will be called a fake nerd if you are called out on it. And really, are you not? Any boy or girl who dresses up as a character they know nothing about, for the sake of gaining attention is faking it for *that* attention.

As long as you are okay with that, more power to you.

If you aren't, well, I suggest you go to the beach in a bikini.

pfft thanks for your input

Lol yes. Because they were saying "hey I did this version" so let me give you my opinion, they are a horrible person.

So you think that of the OP too?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-26 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Did the same thing and felt the same way.

I have to agree. There are so many sexy characters to cosplay, why pick the one character that not only do you know little to nothing about but have NO DESIRE TO LEARN.

I am not asking you to read every comic book she is in, watch the Uma Batman version, check out every animated version of her, play the games she is in but, sheesh, at least be a fan of something she's in. One thing.

Trust me, it makes cosplay so much more fun if you are dressing up as a character that you are actually a fan of rather than just dressing up because you simply like the character design. One is where you are dressing up to feel sexy which, frankly, can be done in any revealing outfit (heck, for some they can feel sexy in a potato sack.), the other is dressing up because for a brief time, you want to feel like that character. Put on a cape and you want to pretend you are Batman rather than just look like the design of Batman.

Elitist much? Please fuck off. You don't own cons or control what people can do. Because people at costume parties know every detail about Helen of Troy or Cleopatra. No, they dress up because these are empowering figures. And, sorry to say, your precious con is one big costume party.

You're not the voice of dissension, you are the voice of a dick. Let her get her toes wet however she wants. You spoiling something for her just makes you look petty and small. Particularly when you brag about dressing up as *this* version. It doesn't make you sound like you're advising but warning her off your so-called turf.

Oh wow, butthurt much?
She was just suggesting that OP maybe find out a little about the character before she cosplayed as her. I normally dont care, but I can see how some people may be a little annoyed if someone cosplays up as a character they know nothing about.
No need to get so friggen offended. Grow a thicker skin please.

I regularly patrol conventions in costume, looking for whoever wears a costume of te same character, and challenge them to a trivia contest. Loser has to take off the costume. Because costuming is all about knowing random trivia.

Is it bad that, provided both people had clothes to change into (because I know I'm not the only one who is not confident enough to wander around a con in my underwear), I think this would be an awesome game? I don't much care if someone wants to dress up as a character they don't know much about so long as they don't lie and say they do. Nothing like wanting to squee with someone over your favorite character because they're cosplaying as them/have them on the front of their tshirt, only to realize they've got no clue what you're talking about.

It's not bad, actually, as soon as I finished typing it I started trying to think of ways it could work.

but I can see how some people may be a little annoyed if someone cosplays up as a character they know nothing about

Okay, devil's advocate moment here.

So you go to a con. You see somebody dressed as someone from your favorite fandom! Wonderful! You have somebody to go over and talk to! An icebreaker! A chance to make a new friend! That might not be the easiest thing for you but now you've got an in! Here goes... aw dammit. Not even in the fandom! That was misleading!

Judging the emotions of others in this way makes you as contemptible. You are also the wipe of the ass, ya judgmental fuckhead.

Now, what's the difference between you and the other person then? The difference is in actions. Feeling does not equate to action. Somebody who gets annoyed or disappointed can still be polite about it. By the same token, somebody jumping on somebody else for showing a bit of honesty on a board that encourages confession has done an action, which is far more valid for judgement.

I'm sure you can come up with some action of mine that could be judged in negative light. Doesn't mean I'm wrong right now fucko.

>>Because people at costume parties know every detail about Helen of Troy or Cleopatra. No, they dress up because these are empowering figures. And, sorry to say, your precious con is one big costume party.<<

Thiiiis.
And before anyone jumps at me for knowing nothing about cosplay - cosplay is very important to me. So much that I don't even go out of character unless I have taken off a bit of the costume to be myself again. But I don't try to impose my rules on others. That's the thing.

lol @ your pathetic elitism

you're part of the fucking problem, bitch

(Anonymous) 2013-05-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, really?
Going to the beach in SWIMWEAR is the same as dressing up as a fanservicy game character to you?
