>>426777Nobody makes costumes anymore. Maybe they do but it feels like most people get their cosplays on Amazon top to bottom never customizing anything. I remember just 10 yrs ago it was frowned upon to buy your cosplay so much so peole would lie and say they made it kek. I think what has gotten lost is the joy of making yourself your fave character from scratch. Going to the thrift and craft store etc. I think the ease of buying costumes has made cosplay soulless af.

>>432824i had to pick my brain for this but chances are that he knows what she took the pic for because he, along with callie, were part of the "founding" or original members of animexx, a german website that was basically facebook for weebs. toni (the guy) and callie have probably been friends since forever. callie was known for having an offensive type of humor and picking fights with people so you always knew what she actually thought of you. ironically, she actually got my account deleted when i was a baby weeb because she was friends with all the admins and she wanted to teach me a lesson, kek. we later became friends though. picrel is her artemis cosplay.

Social media turning cosplay into a beauty pageant was the wrost thing to happen, along with retards filming you unaware as tiktok content.
I think the old timey feelings is still present to an extent in smaller cons though, you mostly see the usual Aliexpress cosplay because nowadays people think sewing is a skill only avaible to people with 30 years of couture experiecne apparently, but there's still some genuine fun and homemade cosplayers aroudn there. Last year I went with my friend to a medium con and she joined a big One Piece group where everyone was just messing around with their wardrobe cosplays.

>>481000And adding also the fact that, while having access to better quality materials to do your artifacts/attire is good, people treating it like "you cannot make your wig with wool" or "you need a 3d printer for that" is also that is ruining cosplay too.

>>481000I started coslaying around 2003 and had a really big Persona 3 group a few years later. We all made our own costumes because Ali wasnt really a thing back then. Same with props because we didnt have 3d printing. It was a nicer time. I miss the creativity of cosplay back in 2003-2013. Now it feels like every single person has the same aliexpress cosplay and crimped wig. It's exhausting. No one wants to think anymore. I taught myself how to hand sew everything because I didnt have access to a machine until 2005. Zoomers dont want to learn anything, they want to churn out cosplay, make tiktoks and move on. No one cares about fandom anymore.
>>481436Love that SM wig.

>>481440Ah nona, you're living my dream. I'm a poorfag so I wasn't able to get into SMT until 2019, and fell in love with Persona 1 and 3 then. I would love to have someone to cosplay with as I have never done it before and it looks fun, but the current climate (both cosplay and fandom-wise, it's all greasy men) really put me off.
I was happy when I saw they were remaking P3 to finally see cosplayers of it around here, but all the ones I saw around were of the protag and Aigis because you can find the school uniform and their wigs at Ali/Amazon. They couldn't even be bothered to make small alterations of it or buying a blouse to cosplay other characters like Junpei or Mitsuru.

I often find it hard to believe Cosplaying was a thing before mainstream internet, it's so hard for me to imagine women or anyone who would actually make a costume and wear it for anything other Halloween If it wasn't going to be posted somewhere online

Nobody ever posts the source for these old Japanese JoJo cosplays, so here it is:

>>481440>>481479old nonna here: I started to cosplay on the same era and I remember trying to find THE fabric, wig or product to make your own cosplay was a travesty, specially if your character had a mechanical part or a tattoo thing.

Makes me really sad when I see a cool, skilled female cosplay, go to her profile to see more only to find of course she has an OF and a bunch of low effort lewd cosplays. I just want to find one real female cosplayer who isn't whoring herself out
