some years ago, a furry from my high school (that i’ve never spoken to before, mind you) saw me at a con. he ran up to me, picked me up, and attempted to walk away without saying a word. i was too shocked to really say anything, i still don’t know what he was trying to accomplish.

My costume breaking on stage at international finals, and nearly breaking my ankle in the process as well...

It actually impacted me so much, I haven't done much cosplay work since. I hated the costume, I hated the pressure and it's put me off entirely.

I unfortunately know that feel. I once spent hours and hours in advance preparing a wig piece for a costume, including the entire night before the con. I literally finished the moment my friend came in to tell me it was time to start getting ready to go. My sleep was well sacrificed however, because I felt proud of my work. We get to the con and within no less than ten steps of the dealers hall, someone pushes past me and knocks my hairpiece to the ground, destroying it. It's not broken but messy beyond wear. I hadn't even made it to the first booth yet.

Alright you lazy piece of shit.

I'm not here to change your lifestyle of mediocrity. You do you, and I'll do it my way. Personally I think I save myself the effort of endless browsing having my witty names be searchable. Keep in mind we started this argument because someone named their file "smugnya", which is mostly for function and less for wits. It's more or less just describing the image. My bottom line is don't accuse people of being "cross-siters" just because they keep their files in a sortable manner.

I've found people saying it doesn't matter, and I've also found people saying it's racist/bad taste/whatever. No one quite pinpoints why it is wrong to use make up to change your skin color to the character you're cosplaying.

Also, it seems to be a USA only thing.

>> No.10047911

>>10047895
YMMV but basically, it's considered bad taste because the USA has a history of using blackface as a way to both shit on brown people and to prevent those people from getting work in Hollywood--which, more recently, bled into the cosplay world with an absolute vengeance around when Avatar: the Last Airbender had that horrid movie adaptation. The casting calls called for something like "white or other ethnicity" and people lost their shit, but that was when it started really being a thing in the cosplay community.

Theatrical makeup has a history of requiring people to darken their skin for stage (because, you know, bright lights) so there was some crosswank between the sides--Blackface/brownface/yellowface/whatever that takes an employment opportunity from someone who's actually the race of a character they're auditioning for is an issue in the film world (and sometimes for stage, too, but honestly, community theatre has the opposite issue sometimes. Lots of troupes get stuck having to fill roles based on voice alone, but that gets less wank) but that is literally almost never the case in cosplay. If your technical skill is spot-perfect in recreating a cartoon character, but you're a different race, doing your makeup won't stop anyone else from doing the same character at a con. But people don't like when things don't line up perfectly, and there are enough people who suck at makeup that it ends up looking like shitty caricature anyway, so nobody can have nice things.

Also back to topic, my worst cosplay experience was someone groping my chest to see if I was actually a boy (I was not, and I was not binding), and the girl then also asked to taste my hair to see if THAT was real, because Yaoicon. I was cosplaying Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing.

changing your skin color for cosplay isn't blackface, it's a cosplayer trying to look as accurate to the character as possible. you're an idiot

>> No.10051834

>>10047911
Hi, hadn't came here in the last few days. Thanks for the long and complete answer.

My impression is that there's no malicious intent when people paint their faces to match their characters in cosplaying. As far as I know, there's no reason to think cosplayers aren't doing so in good faith, to better resemble the characters. It does get a different meaning if the person had a background of being racist, but I think this is not the case most of the times.

Depending on their skin tone, it might look too off (assuming they're going for high fidelity).

Had a drunk girl walk in and try to pass out in our room once, friends spent a hour getting her to the right room. Same con one of the hotel staff grabbed my ass while I was dressed as Mabel from Gravity Falls.

One con one of our friends knocked over a full energy drink on my gaming laptop. Instead of moving it he picked up the can while we were asleep. We wake up next morning, laptop won't start, notice small pool of red my mouse, lift up laptop and it's just a pool of red sticky liquid. Husband starts trying to fix laptop (it's fried) and I see my Ryo-okkie I made for my first cosplay competition, feet soaked in the red crap. Other friends make idiot leave room while I scream into a pillow. He still won't admit to it either, which is why he hasn't been to another con with us in 6 years.

I was with my friend at a con who was in a wheelchair due to be hit by a car recently.
This guy asked her who she was cosplaying as, and kept insisting she was cosplaying even though she told him what had happen.
While he wasn’t being super rude and creepy other than this, we both still felt uncomfortable. She had normal clothes on, so it’s not as if she looked remotely like any character, but he apologized (in Japanese style with the bow and hands together) so it could’ve been worse.

Apparently not. I had my marching band uniform just for the shots and giggles (we were in 9th grade at the time) and he asked if I was cosplaying. That makes some sense but I said no it’s just my uniform. My friend had a black shirt with a skirt that had sunflowers on it and had her cast on with her leg up while in the wheelchair, so it’s not as is she had some attention grabbing outfit on.
This guy was a full on weeb with a headband and everything, so when he approached us I knew it was gonna be some weird shit.

It's also more of an issue in the US because people from different backgrounds live together in integrated communities. In Asia, there's less real-life exposure to Euro/African folks, so the Asian cosplay community tends to perceive brownface/blackface as another accessory to a cosplay (also applies in Europe, where there's a higher occurrence of cosplay yellow/brown/blackface without social backlash)

For people in the US, though, skin color has the implication of social benefits/consequences: A common line of reasoning is that someone in blackface can wash off the makeup at the end of the day, and they were just using the "look" for aesthetic gains without the added lived-in experience of being black in the US.

On topic, though more "wtf" than "bad":
>Doing a shoot in a park, lots of trees and bushes and even a little stream
>The stream carves out its own channel about 15 feet below the average "level" of the park; it's pretty hard to get to so it tends to be a homeless encampment

My worse cosplay experience was when i had to avoid hanging out with my cosplay group because a creepy photographer who sexually harassed me was hanging out with my group... i was hiding and crying because it brought back memories... most of the group was annoyed with me because they didnt know why i was avoiding them. my best friend and another girl tried to get rid of him but he kept on coming back and he made another girl in my group uncomfortable. I decided after 30 minutes of working out how to join my group without bumping into him that i would just hang out with my (now ex) boyfriend and my other friends instead. we ended up going to watch my favorite artist perform and i had fun at the end.

oh yeah i forgot to say that my ex said that he would beat up the photographer if he saw him at the con or near me so that was another reason i was avoiding him too (or basically making sure my ex didnt see him there )
