Gankutsuou Cosplay Tidbit
Tiny, but hopefully it's pleasant enough.

[info]tear_venus posts in the Gankutsuou (Count of Monte Cristo anime) community a very awesome Count cosplay. Nothing out of the ordinary, for we all love our blue men.

Sadly, the first reply is along the lines of "so-and-so makes a better Count!" and it goes down hill from there.
"He's not feminine enough!"
"the Count is feminine?"
"This comment is ridiculous. It's a bit silly to go "OH ______ is better!" when someone says something positive about a costume. GOOD FOR THEM."

Its only 27ish comments long, but cosplay discussion is always interesting.

Favorite quote!
I love how you're all negative about the Japanese cosplayers, though, quite frankly, all the cosplay posted by our members here has been just a hair above "ghetto," in my opinion. Maybe their faces aren't to your liking, but as far as construction goes they have everyone here beat.


You won't see them wanking... till they strike!

(... I love how JF tells me Cristo is misspelled and offers Crisco as a subsitute. I love you, JF.)

Wow, don't you just love that first commenter? How positive!

Goddamnit. I meant to quote that, and say I died at it. For it owned me. BUT NO. The browser hates me.

If you can survive the triptacular shading and patterns, then you honestly should.

Which is true. But when someone gives their opinion others are entitled to give theirs as well. And I was simply promoting another version of the count that others may enjoy better.

Except you were a total ass about it. Is it physically possible for cosplayers to not wank about other people's costumes? Please tell me there are diplomatic cosplayers out there.

Maybe. Because I snark about people's costumes, but only in private. >_>;; That's allowed, right? I keep my mouth shut on public forums and just don't comment.

Wow. I made it to F_W. This is such a big honor. Uhm, I'd like to thank my mom, my dad. . my theater director. . my dog. . and of course my smut partner Lore.

Yes, yes, my initial comment came across as snarky, though I hadn't meant it as such. I thought this chick hadn't seen vengeful_soul's costume, so I put that I thought it was better.

In hindsight, probably should have worded it better. Otherwise, we all resolved our differences.

Wanked a bit.

I think Mish (saintedsin) could have expressed herself better (*sigh*) but the whole bit of the Japanese vs No Japanese Cosplayers made me go WTH. And I am not even a cosplayer.

Now is gone into random role play smut exchange experience. Which is something I should be doing right now.

*is Tear_Venus on the community who posted the cosplay site* Wow.. this made fandom wank. *face thuds* I so didn't mean for it to.

Ironically enough one of my friends thought it was the Count of Monte Crisco.. I died.

Okay done now.

I tried to find a_vengeful_soul's cosplay but couldn't. (although admittedly didn't look THAT hard). So I can't say it's better till I seeeee it.

Are Cosplayers aware that the term cosplay is only used in porn in Japan?

Once I learned that, it put all the cosplay games around my hometown in a much more interesting light.

Now I remember why I dumped that comm.

PS: You'd better furl this or something, since the Gankutsu-O mods are notoriously delete-happy.

And they're some damn cute and talented cosplayers.

I love when cosplayers wank about ZOMG YOU DUN LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER!!!11

If we absolutely had to look like the people we cosplay, I can pretty much cosplay Anthy Himemiya (and I do)...and, um...er...maybe Lucia from Shadow Hearts Covenant. Not too many dark-skinned chicks in anime/games, ya know?

Cosplay wank in general makes me giggle. When I see ghetto cosplay I just snark a little in private to my friends about it. Maybe this makes me a coward, but I'd never actually talk shit to the person's face...not everyone has the same level of skill/attention for detail, and isn't this supposed to be about having fun anyway?

Gah. I dumped the comm waaay back when I finally got sick of all the FranzxAlbert, the stupid mod and I expected an outburst of OMG FRAAAAANZZZZZZZ over ep 18 anyway. I might have missed some good things that have happened since, but... yeah. Reading this, I don't have any regrets.

It's just... she's complaining the FACE SHAPE isn't right. THE FUCKING FACE SHAPE. I'm sorry the cosplayers didn't go out and get plastic sugery to look JUST LIKE THE CHARACTERS. EVERY TIME THEY DO A COSTUME.

Some people are nitpicky, anal brats.
