Okay, you can't say something like this without telling us what he's planning to cosplay as :suspense:.

I don't think he's doing anything specific, he just picked up a steampunk top hat and started asking where da cosplay at.

My 60 year old dad is getting into steampunk. He also got a top hat with a gear stuck on it.

Looks like an Earth Federal Forces soldier from Gundam. Or a Zeon. They both have beige hue uniforms.

Though I'm more bothered by what the 'GRIZZLYS CALIFORNIA' hat could possibly be or where it could've come from. There's no sports team in CA named the Grizzlys...

D.vA is one of the worst characters Blizzard has ever created and that is saying a lot, which makes the ways the fandom manage to justify her existence all the better.

She's a very smug Starcraft player who uses gaming terms in her taunts and the like. While the whole "teehee just over 18 and cute" thing is cringey, the backlash against her has been weirdly disproportionate in a game that also has a plunging cleavage neckline on the character who was tortured and brainwashed into being a sexy femme fatale.

D.Va's probably the most directly annoying character in the game, being that everything she says is in an obnoxious high pitched voice and her entire job is to annoy the poo poo out of you by eating your favorite projectiles and getting in your face while her teammates do more important stuff.

The backlash has been to depict her as a tiny (wo)manchild who smashes back endless bags of doritos while screaming "GIT GUD" into the mic. For some weird reason, this version of D.va is weirdly charming.

Probably because the normal version depicts gamers as cool when we all know that they are scum that must be purged from any civilised society.

I play her and can confirm this

Also I spam "is this easy mode?" While blowing up the enemy team

It's definitely different people bitching about D.Va and Widowmaker, for entirely different reasons. You can't conflate the two just because they're both women. From my perspective, Widowmaker gets justified hate for being painfully oversexualized (Not nearly to Quiet levels, but she's definitely the worst in the Overwatch roster), while D.Va gets justified hate for being just a really loving bad character.

To me, the most aggravating part of D.Va is that Blizzard don't seem to be aware that she's obnoxious and terrible. They've shown awareness and willingness to poke fun at the game's character designs elsewhere (Reaper and Junkrat especially, but most characters get some level of poo poo from other characters) but D.Va gets more love and affection in dialog than any other character by both quantity and percentage. There are more posters of her on walls of the game's maps than Lucio, and his concept is an on-tour international celebrity DJ fitting rounds in between his gigs. She's elevated to quite frankly illogical levels of adoration, and it's just insufferable.

It hurts even more because if you look at her cosmetics, you can see the core of a character that works just so much better. She's got a 'dance party' emote that's brilliantly, deliberately obnoxious and works fantastic for her, but even better than that is the alternate skins that recast her as a really low-end technician sort with a mech made out of a lovely old car. There's ways they could've made her character fantastic, but instead she's very Mary Sue-ish.

EDIT:


This is probably the best Yu-Gi-Oh cosplay that's actually possible to do. Anything else would either be too ridiculous, or barely recognizable as being from the show, but this... gently caress, that duel disk is amazing,and he's totally pulling off Joey's look as well as you feasibly can.

The best thing about DVa is how mad she makes people who don't like her. She's a hyper-competitive individual who just wants to get in people's heads.

Sorry haters. ;)
