/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>at recent con
>cosplay is all done by myself, it looks good, but it's from a small anime so i dont expect many photos
>get about 6 photos taken in 5 hours, that's fine

>later change into normie clothes
>hair (brown) down, white top, overalls
>get asked 8 times in 2 hours if someone can take a photo of my cosplay
>ask what cosplay
>get told misty (from pokemon)

i'm not even salty about the lack of photos taken at the con since i was expecting it but the fact that so many people would not only think someone that's not even close to being misty (she doesnt even wear overalls??) could be misty, let alone see it and think "i should get a photo" is really appalling desu.

is this how low people's standards have gotten for cosplay? hell even the laziest misty cosplay would have red hair or put their hair in a ponytail. i can understand people thinking maybe i was just some /really/ shitty misty, but fuck, actually asking for a photo just blows my mind.
