/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

While there's a Hiroshi approved one meta thread, why is it that whenever sex gets brought up or even so much as implied that gulls get immediately triggered?

Also looking for this suit. Anyone have a link?

So what specific couples cosplay would you gulls like to do with your boyfriends?

Do dermarollers really work? If yes, where's the best place to get one?

i'm scared

i'm not about to read through this clusterfuck of a thread but as a nipponese, here's my take:
emulating the features of another race/ethnicity for the sake of emulating the features of another race/ethnicity is wrong

people taping their eyes to look asian is shit because asians are always made fun of for their eyes, right? but those who are taping them can just take off the tape and go about their day. "appropriating" these things that are looked down upon/have been looked down upon throughout history is bad because the people who are doing it don't have to live with those features and deal with their implications.

like those lolcows who literally shoop themselves "asian" and lie about their ethnicity. why? they're making a parody of a culture by taking what they THINK it's about, what they THINK the people look like, and using it in order to gain social traction. they are taking what they THINK is "asian" and amplifying it by 100x, which is racist as fuck.

so yeah, blackface is fucked because of all of the bullshit that black people had to deal with throughout their history, especially in the americas. i don't see "ganguro" as offensive because they're not specifically going "LMAO LOOK I'M BLACK." but slapping on some paint for the sake of muh cosplay or muh fashion is parodying all of the awful things that black people had to face for the sake of their goddamn skin.

Question, I want to start being more recognized as an artist online as I'm in need for commissions from people, any tips? I'm going to start drawing a lot of the "flavor of the month" series but idk how else I can get recognized fast, thanks
