Or I legit think it's creepy for uncanny valley reasons. Like, I never even see these people or their haters anyway, how can I bandwagon onto something I know almost nothing about?

You do know people have different thresholds for uncanny valley, right? I know some friends of mine who can't watch Meet the Robinsons. It's not because they bandwagoned their way to hateville. It's because the animation freaks them out. Yet, that movie is one of my favorites. Oh my gosh we have a different threshold. People are different! Amazing.

Most people didn't even know there was such a thing as the uncanny valley effect until tvtropes put an article up on it. As soon as they read it though they were running around citing its effect. Just like how if a newspaper has a slow news day and prints an article about #localghost or bigfoot, the day after everyone is saying how they saw bigfoot in the minimart or had an encounter with the ghost they just never spoke about. People just like to get in on things.

How you can bandwagon, well you know they exist from the internet and probably a Pratchett newsgroup, and you know that it is kinda okay to bash them. Then you edited tvtropes a couple of times, saw uncanny valley. Bingo, there you are. Fully minted and ready to take part in a herd activity without ever a single direct interaction. Hell, switch out those cosplayers for a Frenchman and you'd, oops sorry your "friends"'d be standing in a tea-party rally along with the rest of the freaks ready to get in on the crowd-action and public shrieking.

Except I knew about it from a class and it's a real thing. You can't tell me uncanny valley isn't real. It's based on the uncanny and, true, Freud was a hack and most of what he wrote on it was bullshit but some rang true. It also comes from robotics and is a real thing animators try to avoid. Also, who goes on TV Tropes anymore? Are they still chugging along?

I don't know what a Pratchett newsgroup is. I didn't know it was okay to bash them, only that I thought it was kinda creepy. I heard about it because a friend showed me a picture and said there was a new kind of cosplay. I asked my friend to not show it to me again.

You make so many assumptions about me to fulfill your biased opinion about people who don't agree with you because I don't think like you and that means my opinions are false and wrong and bad. Grow up.

It's a legitimate opinion some people have. Just because it isn't yours doesn't mean it's groupthink and you're the lone island of sanity. It's fucking cosplay. My gosh. You're seriously pretentious. Why are you so upset people don't like a kind of cosplay you do?

Edit: Wait... I'm slow today. Are you fucking with me?
