/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Uh idk big brain maybe because they aren't doing it for men????
It's fun to get to walk around half naked in the middle of a city using the excuse that's it's for cosplay

>>10393075
Because women actually like wearing it.

It’s not about wanting dick, it’s about them being confident, scrote.

>>10393077
>>10393078
Is it though? Why a convention and not, you know, the beach? Going to a con with a "slutty" version of a character seems as though you'd want attention from the other congoers.

>>10393081
Does going to the beach also means that people just want to grab attention?

And, do you have easy access to a beach all year long in every single place of the world?

>>10393081
>Going to a con with a "slutty" version of a character seems as though you'd want attention from the other congoers
The same could be said about anyone wearing anything slightly different from a T-shirt and jeans if we follow your logic, dummy.

Let people wear whatever they want if the rules of place allow it. Don't be a dick and let them enjoy life.

>>10393089
But cosplayers literally cosplay to get attention for it. They like to be approached about the cosplay. It's not like at the beach where you're going because it's hot or you want to play in the ocean or something.

You don't have access to cons all year long either. I just don't understand why so many attractive women want to show off to a bunch of 1/10 dudes.

>>10393092
I'm not being a dick whatsoever. I'm not insulting her. I'm just curious as to the logic behind highly revealing versions of normal cosplay at cons. Pretty much none of the men there are on her level.

>>10393094
>But cosplayers literally cosplay to get attention for it.
No, anon. That's not it. Some people do enjoy the attention, but that's not the main reason most people do cosplay.

>>10393098
If you make a costume and go out in public with it... yes. You want attention for it. You want recognition for it. Or else you'd just make it and never show anyone.

>>10393075
it's fun to feel sexy and as pretty as your favorite characters, the reasoning behind this really isn't as complicated as you're making it

>>10393094
>I'm just curious as to the logic behind highly revealing versions of normal cosplay at cons.

People are literally telling you the answer. Being confident, wearing what they like for fun, cosplay is fun, etc. Actually read the responses

>>10393108
But there's an element of wanting attention and I don't get why they want the attention of ugly con nerds.

>>10393109
People have told you they’re not doing it for attention. That’s the answer to your question. I don’t wear flashy jfash for attention, I wear it because I like it. I like how I look in it. I feel more like myself, and more confident. It’s fun. I assume someone who wants to look sexy feels the exact same way.

>>10393117
Everyday clothing is not a cosplay anon. Why are you acting so obtuse... ?

>>10393117
Stop it anon. Men think everything we do is for them, so when we don't give our bodies to them, they get upset and make threads like this as their way of getting attention from women. Negative attention is the easiest attention to get for men because they don't have to work for it or address any of their flaws.

>>10393119
You’re the one acting obtuse. We’re telling you people don’t do it for attention. Let me rephrase it to be about cosplay: cosplay isn’t for getting attention either. People cosplay because they like the character and it’s fun. Some people like dressing sexy to begin with, which is like wearing any clothes you like. So they wear sexy versions of cosplay because it combines the fun of cosplay and dressing the way you like.

>>10393119
NAYRT but i'm sure you can make the logical step here that people wear what they want because it's fun and makes them happy. Also, while jfashion is everyday clothing, let's not pretend that normies always see it that way (wearing lolita to the grocery store isn't every person's idea of daily clothing outside of the community.) Cons provide a space to wear costumes and have a good time in a setting meant for costumes, it's not about attracting a partner

Most people don't over analyze all of their actions. If it's fun, it's fun. If you can't write an essey about why you enjoy a certain thing in relation to human condition as a whole, why would cosplayers?

>>10393100
I feel sorry for you, anon :(
Hope you can discover the joys of expressing yourself through fashion and art. It's possible, and hopefully you'll discover that someday.

>>10393132
But it's possible to express yourself with art and not show people. You want some kind of response to it if you take pics and share it or go out in public with it. Playing dumb about this makes no sense.

prude spotted

>>10393134
>no slut shaming in any comment
>OMG PRUDE
Stop projecting.

I don't know about you niggers but bimbo Sailor Moon is just objectively not a good look.

>>10393133
Yeah and? Goya might have painted the black paintings but I'm pretty sure he didn't screech about women on the streets.

>>10393142
No one is screeching you retard.

I don't see the point of appealing to ugly nerd dudes is all.

>>10393133
People sharing their art aren’t trying to get the attention of the opposite sex either. They’re showing their self-expression. It’s not a freaking mating call

>>10393133
>But it's possible to express yourself with art and not show people
With fashion? So you just make nice clothes and stay home? I prefer to make nice clothes and have fun while wearing them, being it inside or outside home.

Anyway, you're just ignoring what everyone is saying. Good luck with being no fun at all.

>>10393137
Prudes twist things and think it's meant to be a sexual thing when sometimes, it really isn't about getting dick and just having fun

>>10393159
You sound retarded and obsessed with the idea of it, must be thinking about it when no one else in the convo is. Have sex

>>10393163
If I wanted to have sex, I'd just ask my boyfriend, anon- I'm just saying that prudish people tend to misconstrue people's actions

Man we're looping back around to the point that a "nerdy woman" is a turn off again.

>>10393075
Attention whores want attention at all times. It doesn't matter from who, or from what. There is an effort x attention coefficient that can be observed through Twitter and social media. The more attention a whore receives, the more she desires. However, each thot has her own restrictions and guidelines on what is an is not an acceptable moral event horizon to achieve that attention. Some go full literal prostitute porn star, where others justify anything up to that point.

As the roastie approaches the wall, you will see her lash out in new and bizarre ways to achieve attention as it dwindles. Many will have children and live vicariously through them or feel sustained by the attention provided by said children. Everyone else in this thread saying dumb shit like THEY LIKE IT, and JUST WANT 2 FEEL CONFIDENT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GAZE OR AN AUDIENCE are full of shit because these people could just dress up like this at home if it pushed the dopamine button in their monkey brain the same.

tl;dr women love attention, not the SOURCE of the attention

>>10393075
OP you'll understand a lot more about women when you understand that a lot of them want attention without actually wanting to fuck anybody. Men seem to think that a woman wanting people to admire her body means she wants those people to fuck her. Some women enjoy the feeling of withholding that from admirers, but for the most part they genuinely don't believe that their appearance is sending the message that they are available for sex, because they forget how stupid and single minded men are.

>creates a thread on a board filled with women
>asks why they want attention
dunno ask yourself

>>10393169
I mean, let's not pretend that there's only one kind of attention one can receive and that it's limited to people wanting to have sex with you... I can go to cons and appreciate the hard work people put into cosplays, skimpy or otherwise without going feral. Some cosplays just have less clothing and it's really not that big of a deal

>>10393175
I didn't split hairs over types of attention or sources, as I mentioned.

The man that goes dressed up as a giant cardboard mecha with LEDs in it that has people constantly running up and going OOH and AAHH is sucking on the sweet teat of attention as much as short skirt Shimakaze cosplayer #40453.

to make money by charging for photos

>OP pic
>"she's not doing it to be sexualized or for attention!"
>literally just sailor moon outfit with as much skin showing as possible

>>10393179
Now this is a reason that makes sense. To try and get money from desperate nerdboys.

Why do you keep implying/fixating on the "fact" that these outfits will mostly attract the attention of "undesirable" men? This is either b8 or it sounds like you're trying to bury the lede and make a comment about men at cons instead of women.

It's a mutual relationship of pleasurable looking. The reasons for each case varies but in the end they know that they look good, and that others (not necessarily everyone) want to look at them.

Anyone that gets upset is usually a vocal minority :^)

>>10393109
The one thing I will never understand is when men take one female experience and generalize it to every woman ever. Incredibly, people are individuals, and have different reasons for doing the same thing.

Uggos worshiping you and treating you like a goddess still feels nice even if they're hideous. Also rejecting hordes of men feels pretty powerful.

All cosplay is for attention. This is an undisputable fact. The difference is that some people want attention for their craftsmanship or their dedication to a character and their design, and some just want any attention they can get.

It's not a complicated concept.

>>10393089
This is a bad comparison because clothing is context sensitive. Swimsuits and beach attire is normal at the beach, it is the standard. Slutty cosplay is not the standard attire at cons. Wearing a bikini to the beach doesn't mean you want to grab attention, wearing a sling bikini at the beach on the other hand...

>>10393089
If you want to go to the beach in a skimpy outfit for the confidence boost then it is still to get the attention of others, isn't it? Otherwise you wouldn't need to go out and do it at all. If you truly just want to be naked without garnering the attention of others, then sit naked at home

>>10393094
It's just nice to have attention. Even if the men there aren't that great, it'll make you feel wanted

>>10393109
There's absolutely an element of wanting attention (for some women) but it's not meant to attract these ugly men. An attractive woman will get most people's attention, and some people just want to be seen to feel confident

>>10393245
This. What would be the fun of cosplaying by yourself and not showing anyone? It's almost always for attention, in some form

>>10393234
>The one thing I will never understand is when men take one female experience and generalize it to every woman ever.
She says while implying women don't do the exact same thing for men, thus generalizing an entire gender and becoming guilty of what she's accusing.

because its pleasant to look at and they like for people to feel that, including themselves.

I do it to advertise my prints and make some easy cuck bucks. It's always funny when the nerds are shy and don't know how to act when I tell them not to talk to me. Other times I flirt with them in front of their girlfriend and act like I know them.

>>10393268
>>10393271
This is the only answer I was looking for. Not "they do it JUST FOR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION" because that's bullshit. It makes sense to hear this.

And once again I'm not complaining or calling her a slut or anything at all. Just wondered this since I know none of these good-looking, in-shape women would ever fuck the average con-goer and so I wondered why they wanted to show their bodies off to them.

>>10393287
>>10393295
And this

>>10393295
I just like playing dressup desu and think some slutty shit is cute, I'd never go outside dressed like that, though. I would if I were confident enough tho cuz I like slutty designs on characters

>>10393295
Oh, so you did sort of bury the lede imo! In that case, yeah you're absolutely right.
Really, what was the point of posting this if you already knew what sort of answer you wanted to hear?

Men can be such easy targets. It's hard not to have fun toying with certain ones.
It has nothing to do with wanting to sleep with them, the point is that they don't have a chance and that showing off/wearing skimpy clothing isn't the same as consent.

I wish fit guys went to cons dressed as yaoi boys with their buldges hanging out :(

>>10393305
This is why I started working out and cosplaying, my future goal

>>10393304
Why do women pretend to be smarter than men? When all of the high IQ people are men that actually create things :(

>>10393376
Where did I say women were smarter than men anon :3

Should I have added a *NOT ALL MEN so you wouldn't feel the need to project your insecurities onto my post :33

>>10393075
its because they are normalfags anon that have stolen our culture and have infiltrated it.

>>10393376
The person with the highest IQ of all time is a woman: Marilyn Vos Savant. Kek.

Also women were denied education for nearly all of history and IQ scores are based on traditional education models, so... not a great choice for your argument.

>>10393075
IDK maybe women don’t dress up for the sole purpose to make dudes dicks hard

>>10393387
This is the biggest cope I've ever seen in my entire life

>>10393075
I have a feeling some people in here got rejected by a sexy cosplayer and have a vendetta about women enjoying things.

>>10393376
You mean men who steal women's invitations?
