This thread is for discussion of any cosplay communities/fandoms/trends you find embarrassing or cringe. With the death of the costhot thread, costhotery is now allowed in the cringe thread. Every few months a new insufferable fandom or trend pops up and overtakes the cosplay landscape — let’s talk about some of the ongoing ones.

>>348911Actually kek cause I was thinking of tuna melt chan since the latest cosplay discussion is 'are sexy cosplays ruining the cosplay scene' which is a tired and typical complaint people have in the community, though now it has a new spin: Are OF and SW who advertise through massive cosplay accounts a problem? That is are these girls 'polluting' the cosplay scene by turning it into an opportunity to sell and promote their OF? If we look at the history of this general complaint, it started with 'fake gamer girls' that were ruining cosplay because they didn't know the source material, or maybe it was 'bikini/skin suit and wig cosplay girls' that were ruining the scene because of laziness, but now you have a merge of both: OF girls/SW that lack even a shred of cosplay enthusiasm provided by even the laziest wig/bikini girl and see the cosplay community as a honey pot of endless capital. Constant streams of flavor-of-the-month characters, explicitly sexual (lewd doesn't gather the same cash anymore), easy bought and worn pre-made cosplays and wigs, rinse and repeat. No passion, skill, or interest required. Of course SW handmaidens will instantly defend creators like this with excuses like 'sexy cosplays have existed since the 70s!' or 'it's not the cosplayer that's the problem, it's the men' or 'it sucks that men sexualize you or ask for your OF in cosplay, but just deal with it!' as bandaid solutions to try and make space for these creators while ignoring any of the red flags. None of these points are even
valid, like it reminds me when people first started defending SW online because 'prostitutions is the oldest profession!!' cope. If you question or complain about it, you're a SWERF, gate-keeping, or not a 'girl's girl'. It's so annoying because the influencers defending this are in their early 20s masking as experienced, wise-with-age sources because .. they watched Madoka on crunchy roll 5 years ago. All they know is cosplay when it started to become more profitable and the steady incline from the humble aheago cosplayer, to the patreon lewd cosplayer, all the way up to the explicit 'cosplayer' whose OF features horrifying kinks, materials, and distasteful themes that continue to push the boundary of 'norm'. I would actually hate to be a SW cosplayer in today's age. It's not going to pay your rent to be vanilla anymore, you have to push boundaries, have to subject yourself to even more degradation, maybe consider surgeries, publicly humiliate yourself, etc. I can point the finger at creators like Kinpatsu, who is still trying to drag her cosplay career behind her while doing SW and invasive (and unnecessary) cosmetic surgeries. Sure, she'll say she does this because she loves doing SW, she loves plastic surgery, it's 'always been a part of her and something she wants to do', but that's just a convenient excuse she tells herself so she can avoid any accountability of influencing younger cosplayers. Really though, she's no different than any other online SW that has gotten in too deep and survives on delusion.
Anyways, that's my rant over. But I've gotten so fed up with everyone sharing their 'opinion' (aka the same spewed crap that kisses the feet of OF creators) without having any nuance or understanding of this ongoing growth in the cosplay community. I miss the tuna melt chans. Now I look back at their enthusiasm and genuineness as key traits of what made this hobby special before it was trampled out by greed. Even 2010s Moo can be seen with some nostalgia compared to what she's become now. Yes, I can point all the blame at the audience of men who expect and demand this type of content since I can say with confidence none of this would have happened if it wasn't for them. Sure, I can point all the blame at the women who partake in this, who say they are merely being 'business saavy' and supplying demand. At the end of the day, it's become a norm of the social media cosplay world: It's all meant to serve moids, there is no 'independent, confident woman', just a constant, churning cycle. It's possible to do both: criticize creators for legitimate reasons identifying the overall acceptance of harmful expectations they may or may not be aware they are promoting without making it personal. My only solution to anyone that feels like I do is to consume cosplay online minimally, keep it as a hobby, enjoy it for yourself by improving your own skills and do only what you want to do, never do anything because someone online asked you to. Saves you the obligation of catering and keeping an audience and keeps you focused on what's important.

Koollia_Wig is in hot water after a client posted a flawed $2,000 wig commission. Koollia is desperate to become the biggest name in cosplay wigs, and floods social media with everything from base wig sponsorships to clickbait advertisements for their helmet style wig commissions. But that's not all: they're a teacher too! They often post 'tutorials' that are just smash cuts without instruction, and then encourage confused viewers to just commission them instead.
Pizzazys bought a $2k Junko wig and has posted three videos so far of what this actually gets you. Complaints include no airbrushing despite asking for this, pigtails that fall out, gaps, and stringy tips. Responses range from outrage, to Koollia die hard defenders, to fools who think they can make a helmet wig for $150.
No. 349136
>>349130I think it's prety naive to say they don't do good wigs. Here's a breakdown of her complaints for anyone who doesn't want to watch the video:
>pigtails should be able to detach, but I had to hot glue them on because they wouldn't staySo she didn't show why they wouldn't stay on or explain why she couldn't do it an alternative way. Also no way hot glue alone is holding up that much wig in the pigtails. That doesn't make any sense as someone who's done big wigs.
>Keeps lifting bangs and showing stiff/ugly backcombingYeah. Because that's hidden under the bangs which is the point. Who expects backcombing to be perfect? It wasn't a matted mess either, but still obviously backcombed for volume.
>Keeps pulling at the styled tips of things that have been jostled from deliveryHas she never thought of just fixing those ends really quick with some hairspray? Honestly, she is posting ragebait because, again, this is common where you have to do minor touchups for stuff like this. It's a fucking wig.
>[just rewatched it] Says the original way to attach the pigtails seems intensiveSO you decide to hot glue it and blame the person for you not wanting to do it the way it came? No. Fuck this commissionee.
>No posts to prove she asked for airbrushingShe needs to post some kind of proof to this, considering this is the biggest part she's basing the cost on. I'm not even mad about the price. She agreed to the price. The comments saying it's not worth the cost need a reality check because she could've gone to someone else, but someone with popularity if going to obviously charge higher prices.

>>349136>Also no way hot glue alone is holding up that much wig in the pigtails. That doesn't make any sense as someone who's done big wigs.You may need to make more wigs. Hot gluing a foam core onto a stub is how big pigtails were attached long before helmet wigs and detachable parts became popular.
Looks like the pigtail was meant to slide sideways into this metal eye hook, but what keeps it from falling off? Most tails slot into a tall tube. The angle doesn't look right either: the edge of the pigtail is floating above the cap.

>>349130Why are people so obsessed with these damn helmet wigs? I get that they work well for some characters/styles, but people act like you’re trash if you do a realistic style wig with smooth fibers instead of a giant crimped and teased thing. And most people can’t even do it well. If you don’t know how to style a wig in the first place, cutting all the hair off and gluing it back in is just going to look like a hack job.
Anyway, I can’t imagine paying $2000 for any wig, let alone just a sculptured twin tail wig. Are the people buying them just retarded?

>>350329It’s not the worst Sakizo I’ve seen, but it’s far from Best in Show quality. Were there no good entries? Bad judges?
A lot of Sakizo designs do not translate super well to an actual garment and things need to be scaled very carefully to not look wonky as fuck.

No. 350358
>>350344I think some of the ballgowns can look nice if done well. Again, it’s very easy for them to go wrong. But having the legs covered makes it easier to get right. The ones like the one above that are basically very fancy underwear (generally a corset with a bustle style skirt that is short in the front at least) are almost always bad because the legs are proportionally so much longer than most people’s legs are, and people don’t want to show too much legs do they make it longer which throws everything off proportionally and makes things look frumpy. I also agree that people tend to use materials that are too heavy and it doesn’t help.
Basically, no one should do the fancy underwear ones unless they have the proportions of a runway model (so super tall and skinny with no curves) because it will not look right, even if construction is perfect. But those are the ones that so many people make (probably because they feel overwhelmed by the gowns).
No. 350399
>>350365Fan Expo Dallas isn't known for its mind blowing cosplay so tbh I'm not surprised this won. It seems solid from the photo aside from the proportioning. If she'd scaled down the sleeve size and those stuffed bumps so that she had more of a visible waist, it'd look quite nice.
Great Sakizous cosplays exist, but for every good one there are two ugly ones because most cosplayers who make them don't think about the proportions or undergarments. They reach for them because they think more decoration = instant win.

Lurk because you clearly don't keep tabs open and I made the screenshot that made him flip out because he took her name on bluesky and was begging to be paid for it. He didn't like farmers finding that. Farmers are doing what we always do. He takes bait and posts kinpatsu out of content just to get lolcow to shit on her. I'm not going to say what gives him away because reporting his posts is like a game. Only time he's brought up is when he's posting. Maybe he should focus on his new girlfriend and stop coming here and stop trying to force her to be kinpatsu 2.0.

So sorry for not being more helpful there but she’s at the very least been on Lolcow for 5+ years, and it’s not a stretch to think she comes here to defend herself when she furiously posts about “ONLINE MEANIES” on her private facebook whenever her name pops up here. I don’t doubt erik is checking the thread religiously too though.

>>351802Kamui is absolutely correct in her assessment that cosplay is about making things out of accessible materials. It's not historical costume design, even this source is from a stupid 3D animated music video oneshot where everyone looks plastic anyway, you're not going to construct a realistic gat out of horse hair and bamboo just to cosplay from it. As much as I think this is just Kamui being a drama queen milking controversy for sympathy and views, being offended over an eva foam gat for a cosplay is so fucking stupid I have a hard time believing anyone is
really hurt over it and not just trying to knock Kamui down a peg out of pettiness.

>>351746The goal post for cultural awareness and sensitivity will always be moved. It gives people an easy way to gain a moral superiority complex. The hat in the show was used for a costume. The pattern kamui released was meant for nerds to use for costumes. The argument could be made that she is making money off of something she is not culturally related to in any way. But she's also creating a resource that if you're really interested in making this hat, then it could save you time if you like how hers turned out.
Will any costume that's inspired by an Asian/traditional cultural dress now need to be made to exact traditional methods in order to not be deemed insensitive? Most of these people bitching are ordering their cheap ugly shit from Chinese sweat shops anyway and couldn't even make heads or tails of a craft pattern if they tried.
