Be honest. Stories? Drama? Was this how you were introduced to cgl? Reactions? Just curious.

Was posted on a fucking fap thread it I've been on Cgl for a few years. Lol'd for a few minutes though.

I was posted here and made fun of. One of my friends who regularly browses here told me about it. It hurt my feelings pretty badly at the time, but I stuck around, and I think I'm going to be a better cosplayer because of it.

Then I was posted here again because people thought I was hot, and wanted to find more pictures of me. That was pretty flattering. My costume at that time wasn't great, though.

I hope that I'm posted for positive reasons someday again in the near future.

>> No.8057740

A photo of me at my first lolita meet was posted, calling the whole group ita. Pretty much everyone defended me and a couple of the other girls in the photo.
I don't care nor do I care about finding out who posted it. I admit my coord was pretty boring/mediocre, but it wasn't bad, really.

I also don't care since that whole thing killed my yearning to go to meet-ups anyhow and I sold most of my wardrobe shortly after for various reasons.
Not that the meet-up wasn't nice, but I just didn't feel I could mesh with the other girls without people feel awkward. idk.

Anyhow, I'm happy where I am now. No biggie.

I was posted here a few times and talked shit about. It was just one specific cosplay mostly, which is one that I wasn't too proud of anyway and retired.

I decided to stick around because I found a lot of the threads helpful and entertaining, and I feel they can help me improve.

If I ever see myself show up on threads anymore (in that same cosplay) I just laugh about it because it's irrelevant now.

The only thing that was posted about me was my name, in community specific threads, where people accuse each other of being me.

>> No.8057834

I think I found out about this place shortly after cosplay fucks on LJ moved over to forums and /cgl/ was new. A friend IM'd me and told me that I was posted in a bad cosplay thread.

Once in a blue moon my old cosplay photos show up here. One time some dude found all these old photos from god, 2004? 2005 maybe where I was just doing stupid shit. Sure I was pretty fat at the time but the whole thread was me. It was kind of funny, I was like "Thanks man, I forgot these old pictures of me existed." and then he went on about my weight, and I was like chill, I've lost it and the thread kind of died after that.

I get posted more often in lolita though, usually if I tag my photos in publicly seen tags. My coords are fine, maybe slightly nitpick. I'm just always a victim of bad lighting, shitty point and shoots, so any makeup I'm wearing often gets lost depsite wearing a ton of it and also any contouring I do is lost. "She just need to contour!" No, I need a portable lighting system to take with me everywhere and a DSLR. I give up.

My story is strangely positive.

It was during AX 2009 after LCS where a lot of people from cgl go to. I won the event and people were talking about how they liked my act and had fun. I signed on as a namefag and later stuck around. For the most part I've managed to fly under the rader and only really get mentioned during panels, self post threads and stuff about voice acting as in general I do not draw too much attention to myself and prefer to just let the topics move on without my "reputation" cluttering things up.

Still here as the overall experience has been rather pleasant.

I was posted about in a drama thread once saying that I was an asshole and then continued to say I was Mexican so I can't cosplay a white character appropriately.

I actually found /cgl/ because a friend was posted here and she was really angry about it.

Posted in vendetta/fap threads and on other boards. Always hated it but it did make me realize who my real friends were and that cosplaying/modeling wasn't for me. I have enough social anxiety as it is. Instead of checking in fear, now I check because it's legitimately helpful. Not really into costumes or lolita anymore but I enjoy the skin care and makeup threads.

>> No.8058240

I migrated here after realizing how shitty cosplay.com was in 08' and that it would never improve. You get much better advice here and a lot less "Is it okay if I cosplay if I wear braces [teeth braces]? OMG HALPMEH!!!"

I have been posted here and there in different kinds of threads, usually without any comments and that is totally fine. I would prefer to not be posted at all. Anything negative that came my way wasn't really that awful. I learned that one anon thinks I have a weird nose. The other thing I learned is that cgl is kind of a good place to find out people's true personalities. When I saw a progress photo I'd uploaded on FB for friends-only, turn up here minutes later, I knew it had to be one of the people on my friends list. It was really easy to tell which person it was too because she writes like a child. She was trying to make fun of me for not cosplaying Asian characters exclusively when I am actually half-Japanese and kinda in that space where I can pass as either race. A few anons took the bait and agreed that I shouldn't cosplay non-Asians and my "friend" tried to stoke the fires posing as another anon. I chose not to reply and let it be which paid off. My "friend" and the few anons she got riled up soon gave no shits when someone posted something else way more interesting in the thread. I promptly blocked this girl on FB and found ways to do the same offline. Had this whole thing not happened, I'd probably still consider her a friend and never know how she really felt.

I used to tripfag around here. I wasn't one of the big names, but I had my share of drama. I was on the board for a year or two before tripfagging got popular. I wore a shitty skimpy costume to ax the same year jnig went in her sexychu, so there was a spotlight on shittily made sexy costumes. Mine was canon but it still looked like shit. I got posted in vendetta and fap threads.
When everyone was tripfagging, people tried to spread some really stupid rumors about me. Back then, seagulls didn't ask for proof as much so things just kept snowballing. Now and then, some drama resurfaces, but I know it's the same vendetta girl that's still trying too hard and no one ever responds to her. I mostly lurk now and don't post much, but cgl and I have a history together.

Some old tripfag here posted a picture of her boyfriend here years ago who incidentally was my boyfriend too.
shit storm ensued, I got tangled up with a crazy bitch who 'defended me' against the other girl but actually got me so far down the drama rabbithole.

Five years later and I still get posted here, and I haven't posted cosplay or lolita online.

I've been getting panic attacks at the thought of being recognised at cons, as well as enduring an eating disorder, suicide attempts and a lot of self hate. I have to bring my mom to cons because I feel scared without her.. I'm 19 years old.

Everyone still thinks I'm egotistic.. I just got so caught up in trying to defend myself.

I don't know how many times I've been posted here. I'm not a lolcow or famous, but my cosplays are pretty good, or at least good enough to get noticed but still fly under the drama radar.
Sadly, I don't think any of my lolita coords have been posted, which I find disappointing. I love being posted here. Good or bad. I guess I'm attention whore. I mean, I don't think I actually am, but it's really exciting to get posted here. I'd rather be posted here regularly (as long as it wasn't ALL bad) than be efamous or something.

A cosplay gif I had made was posted in a Homestuck General thread a couple years ago because someone was going through the tags. Someone said I was trying too hard to be cute (probably true) but someone else said it worked and they liked me as the character, and that was it, thankfully nothing too bad. I think that's been it.
Slightly related, when I was in high school some girls who disliked me made a thread on /b/ with my number telling people to harass me. They were pretty let down.

My local comm is mentioned pretty regularly because there's a couple of vendettafags so accusations of brand whores and bodyline itas get thrown about.

A girl at a con told me about the CGLS and I was curious. Been posted twice? Same pic, I was pretty sad, but also pissed. Especially when I got mistaken for someone else who was known for being really shitty. I did get some good advice from it from a few anons, I wish I could get more advice about things.

i posted in a recommendation thread my first night browsing /cgl/, although i had been browsing /a/ for years prior. the next day, people were posting my picture to start threads. after those threads died, i haven't seen myself mentioned.

however, i do keep my online presence small, because i was close friends with a girl that starts drama here a lot. she's posted many of our mutual acquaintances on here over petty shit. when i confronted her about it, she admitted to doing it out of jealousy.

she's one reason why i don't use social media anymore except for tumblr, and i don't post pictures. while i really want to be more in the cosplay and jfash community, i don't want all my dirty laundry out there. she's seen me at my worst (physically and mentally).

The first time I got posted, it was taken from a Daily_Lolita post I made where I was wearing a skirt miles too short for me (thanks petite asian girls of Taobao!) and everyone was going on how disgusting my thighs were.
I was quite upset but I didn't reply to the thread.

Stuck around as a lul-so-edgy namefag because I don't know how to trip. Dropped the name because I got caught samefagging and it really made me reevaluate my attitude to the site. I don't take this site as seriously anymore and just chuckle to myself when people respond to obvious bait.

I think I got posted once more when someone used me as an example of how Tumblr sucks up to non-white people in lolita. People just agreed my coord was mediocre and that was that.

I have a similar story, where someone posted pics from a very tiny meet that were only shared with the people who attended said meet and then shit-talked me and my boyfriend. He was only around for like five seconds to drop me off but she had this whole story about him being a creeper who hit on her when I went to the bathroom (I didn't to to the bathroom or otherwise leave the group that entire meet) and that he told her how he gave me brand dresses in exchange for depraved sexual acts or some shit. She also had a very distinct (or rather terrible, her English was very bad) way of writing so it was painfully obvious to all of us that the mysterious anon was our resident awkward/possibly slightly mentally handicapped middle-aged spinster. We broached the subject with her very gently and she flounced and deleted all her posts on here, essentially proving they were hers.
It was fucking hilarious but I cannot find it in the archives since it was a really long time ago. We still joke about it.

I've been posted quite a few times in the past, but not so much recently. The only time I'll come up now is if the black cosplayers thread doesn't immediately devolve into shitposting. The only one time I was posted with any following commentary was in a series specific thread trying to figure out why my last minute cosplay photo was getting so many notes (the answer is tumblr). I'm a mediocre/lazy cosplayer and I'm fairly boring as far as drama goes, so I'm always genuinely surprised to see myself here for any reason. I never took any negative commentary to heart, I don't really have the energy to stress about things like that.
I've been a long time lurker and occasional poster since one of my first cosplays was posted her ages ago. I think being here is the only way I've been able to improve some of my skills to any degree, since asking for any feedback on coscom is useless.

I wandered in a few years ago to keep up with my comm drama since no one would say things publicly and I wanted to figure out how to avoid. Since /cgl/ is one of my favorite places for honest lolita reviews and criticism.

I get posted to the nitpick thread every now and then which I appreciate because I like to get concrit so I can become a better lolita.

I get posted every so often here, rarely anything positive. It's usually people accusing me of selfposting, or I get shit on for being a trans-dude that happens to think girl clothes are cute to wear sometimes and I get called a fakeboi.
Is it really so bad for a trans-man to wear "female" clothing from time to time?

>> No.8064308

>>8064250
No. For them dressing up is their life, a sad reality that can easily offend them if you take it as it really is. Delusional adults wearing fetish shit to get off/"inspire". Doesn't take a lot of inspiration to see what's really going on in their life. At least you're being the honest one. You might get some flack for it but if a woman decides to make a living off what is essentially cam whoring then yes, a guy can wear a dress and still be more classier than the one trying to making a business out of it.

I literally just think girl clothes are cute sometimes. I hate that people are always like "if you're trans, that means you want a dick and it also means that you want to dress like a dude because that's what you HAVE to do or else you're lying to everyone and yourself"

>> No.8064321

>>8064250
No, anon. You keep wearing what you feel comfortable in.

If girls are allowed to crossdress and not be called a fake girl then you go ahead and wear women's clothing if you want.

was posted once from a group meetup. supposedly everyone in the group was ita but more like boring coords. mine was fine, not great. then posted again myself only, by someone i know (painfully obvious). I decided to reply, got some decent advice and didn't bother to call the person out on it. i figure if someone has the spare time to post me when I keep my photos mostly private, then i will let them spend their time worrying about me.

Generally yes being trans comes with the ever-so-fun GID (/s) so if you're "trans
without having any kind of dysphoria and you like things generally associated with girliness you might not be trans? Just experimenting with gender identity?

>> No.8065650

I'd been lurking for about 6 month keeping an eye on Britfag threads and such. Suddenly had my own thread with a handful of pictures of my latest costume at the time. It was an obvious vendetta because I slip under all drama- people just don't like my cosplays because I'm land whale-tier, which is fair enough. Since then I've been in bad cosplay threads about a dozen times, but not in the last year or so.
Someone once said that I'd 'be actually quite cute if I lost weight' and since then I've dropped 2st and am still going, so it wasn't an entirely negative experience.

That's not what other trans people I speak to say, as well as /lgbt/. They tell me that what you like and don't like is not a contributing factor to being trans, but more the fact that you feel like you're born into the wrong body and would feel more "yourself" with the genitals you feel you should have. Yes looking physically like a guy would be an important thing as a trans-man. But clothing really shouldn't matter. I'm pretty sure once a person on T and they start having actual masculine characteristics, they will be visible whether or not the person wears girly clothes, don't you think?

>> No.8066148

>>8066140
But you missed the part where they mentioned dysphoria. Dysphoria refers to wanting different genitals. That anon was talking about transtrenders, who just want to say they're trans but not actually feel anything trans people feel.

A bunch of local DR cosplay kids got posted here and got reeeeeeally upset about it, even though nobody really said anything mean until they came in and tried to defend themselves. It's not exactly a great strategy.

I'd like to say that I'd take it in stride if I found myself posted here, but I suppose you really can't know how you'd react until it happens. I'm not a baby and can accept criticism on my work, as long as it's not meaninglessly vindictive.

I've had one thread dedicated to me, and I show up every now and then in random con threads. I think there is one or two people that are really angry at something I had to have done years ago and they post shit whenever I show up.

Some guy on /vp/ posted pics from a Pokemon photoshoot I was in. That thread brought me to /cgl/.

Then a few hall shots of me from A-Kon showed up in that post-con thread last year.

Someone told me to kill myself; and after browsing this shithole of a website (on at least 7 boards regularly) for 4 years, it felt good to finally be told to kill myself.

Group shot was posted of a cosplay group I was in. We were called "underwhelming" and "disappointing", but there were very few truly negative comments. Nothing with the passionate hatred I associate with cgl, anyways.

Hilariously, I found myself glad that the only thing people were angry about with my cosplay were the velcro shoes I was wearing.

Another time one of my friends was posted here, though, and she was lauded as the best Dangan Ronpa cosplayer in the thread, and how great her cosplay and her wigs were, and how cute she was. And meanwhile I was just sitting here laughing my ass off because I know she buys all of her costumes. To be fair she's GOOD at shopping for well made costumes, though, doesn't wear shitty ones, and she does all of her own wig styling. But still, it was god damn funny at the time.
