Something to justify the thread tag

What the hell is cosplay?

Cosplay, or costume play, is the act of dressing up as characters or people from fiction (or reality sometimes) for the sake of entertaining yourself and others, either at conventions, for photoshoots, or sometimes just for the internet cuz why not? And of course with any hobby, you have your low cost enthusiasts making do with what they can:


Your huge and obscenely expensive masters constantly pushing the craft:



The guys who have the perfect character to suit their bodies



The just plain bad:


And everything in between:






You mentioned conventions?

Yep! Cosplayers are ubiquitous at conventions, so whenever a big one like Comic-Con, PAX, Magfest, Otakon, or Comiket roll around, everyone loves to unveil their brand spanking new costumes that they've put hundreds of hours/seconds into. If you attend, feel free to post your own photos, more content is always nice. Especially goon made.



So what can I post here?

Cosplay, duh! Seriously though, pictures, videos, stories, things you built, whatever! Good, bad, weird, it's all good. If you wanna be nice, it's good to label stuff if you know what it's from just to help out other goons, but if you don't know and you think it's cool, awesome! Or if you don't have anything like that, discuss what's been posted with other goons! Just try to stay on topic and don't get weird. Speaking of...

What shouldn't I post here?

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:

Goons, stop posting about who you would or wouldn't gently caress/jerk off to in this thread. It's gross. It's not good posting.

This right here is the golden loving rule. Don't be a weird creep. It doesn't matter if it's guys, gals, or any other pals. Don't do it. Nobody wants to read it and you're gonna get taken behind the woodshed if you do it. This includes being ~ironically~ creepy, making value judgements on people who do cosplay, or getting weird about body types. Have fun and talk about costumes.

Okay cool but what if I want to get into cosplay?

Well, as it turns out, we have ourselves a cosplay creation thread in DIY, with a slew of helpful goons to get you started. Just make sure to post your work when you're done, just like Goon Cosplay Hero McPantserton:

It doesn't need to be a strict rule or anything but if you can, post what the cosplay is. Some of that anime & video game stuff is striking in the craftsmanship but I'll be damned if I know who those characters are.

Nah I'll actually bold those bits, maybe add a few lines to draw attention to those points, I probably didn't give those points as much focus as they should.

But yeah if you do costumes or props or dress up yourself :justpost:, it owns.

I wonder if there's any good Yakuza cosplay to cheer me up?

I mean, you can see that they tried to imitate her hairstyle, and I'm sure the angle doesn't help, but honestly, it's good enough as is that I'd still give it top marks. It's not like they ended up with identical hair styles or anything.

Without just gelling the hell out of it (or whatever you do to wigs I don't know), I think they did a drat good job. I still want to see a good Adam/Eve though.

Ooh, a swing and a miss. If you're going to deliberately post a photo of a erocosplayer to fish for creepy/denigrating comments so you can stir up drama you might want to check that whoever responds actually says something creepy or denigrating before you start yelling.
