I wanted to use a classic cringe pic like the last threads, but if nonnies feel tuna melt chan is too much I apologize lol

crap op, did you even try?

>>348916
Nothing of value was added last thread worth mentioning.

Absolute nostalgia, does anyone know where she is today?

>>348918
This seems to be her reddit account

I thought I got teleported back in time for a moment when I saw Tuna melt. What a memory I want to forget.

Had no idea who tuna melt chan was until today, definitely up there with the queen

>>348911
Actually 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.(sage your shit)

Sarah Russi, a former onlyfans girl who is now dating the fat dude from insane clown posse is currently being cancelled. Juggalos on tiktok are upset she dressed up like Kyle from South Park and say she is pedobaiting and sexualizing a child. She made a video saying she just a cosplayer and there are are tons of adult cosplayers who cosplay as younger characters. What are your thoughts? Is she pedobaiting?(spamming across multiple threads)

>>348975
male pedos are not attracted to kyle from fucking south park kek. zoomers are retarded.

>>348975
I swear, some of you really don't understand how pedos actually are and just assume a 2D character's outfit means they will look at a fully developed, fake tittied woman and get off to it. Nonna, they would actually go look at real children. There is no space for these thots in a pedo's mind because they most likely already have access to material to get off too. She looks retarded and didn't even register as Kyle IMO. Looks like an off-color christmas outfit.

>>348933
i had forgotten how oddly gay the end of this video is
>>348937
somewhat related to your rant but i haven't followed the cosplay scene for ages and got somewhat pulled back on account of baldur's gate 3, and does all of this ever ring true…
i get making cosplay armor is hard and takes time and materials but for every armor look i see, there's 200 over sexified "camp clothes shadowheart". and it's always her too, i guess even painting your skin red or green is too much too.
save for the one girl (who even did an unnecessarily titty astarion) everyone else just throws on some shiny leggings, a low cut top, braids their hair and calls it good

>>348983
I think you're the one who doesn't understand the mind of a nonce tbh. I'd tell you to go lurk the old shayna threads but i wouldn't wish that hell on anyone

>>348983
Any studies done on the porn sick and especially pedophiles would tell you otherwise but go off nonna kek. This is the same false assumption as the classic “pedophiles/predators are all former victims”. Its a common belief but far from the actual reality and if anything its actually the complete opposite.

>>348975
Southpark isn't a children's show. If she was dressing up as "sexy bluey" I can see how that would be weird but she's still obviously an adult woman. The people upset over this are just being performative, they don't actually care. If she was editing herself to look like an underage girl that would be pedobaiting. This photo didn't even register to me that she was supposed to be Kyle I thought it was just some ho wearing an ugly outfit kek where is the outrage over all the southpark yaoi people draw?

>>349014
It's fake tits in a badly put together cosplay. Bffr that pedos are getting off to this.

tired of this discourse, how is this empowering

>>348975
This post made me kek so hard

>>349052
"Consent based system" where the moids illegally reupload all the content to free sites because they see the women as just objects and not actual people to be respected. Uh-huh. Porn defending pickmes are so delusional

>>349052
it isnt even about safety, its fucking annoying cosplaying a non sexual character that has been memed online so men walk up asking for your only fans over and over. these people live exclusively online so they don't actually have to deal with the bullshit.

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.

>>349130
I 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 stay
So 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 backcombing
Yeah. 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 delivery
Has 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 intensive
SO 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 airbrushing
She 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
anon her wigs look like shit. why are you wking her of all people?

>>349137
You don't have to agree with me. I do like some of her wigs, not the glitter ones, hate those, but not all her wigs are bad. It's crazy how some people are comparing her to Umbran when they do the exact same work lol

>>349097
Exactly. Men are raiding anime cons now to hook up with cos thots too. Most women who attend still do cosplay as a hobby, not for clout and dont have an OF. It's gross when I watched cons over the last few years become party cons/hook up cons because so many dude bros invaded. Katsu is the worst one now.

>>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.

>>349130
Why 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?

>Y'all hate on plus sized cosplayers for no good reason!
*Obese, no, we hate your shitty, low effort, AliExpress tier dress up you call "cosplay" but go on cry about muh fatphobia like a true spoken retard. Lc won't let me embed her video for some reason.

Dear goodness I can smell this thumbnail. That's not even cosplay she's wearing, just some shitty half assed polyester clothes along with some nasty mangly wig. It's always the ones who are fat and autistic who can't get cosplaying right at all.

>>349206
>>349209
fatties need to be bullied forever

Pure nightmare fuel also the dirty ass, unbrushed fur.

>>349262
Ew. What’s up withe bulge

>>349263
Fabric stuffed, not meant to imitate a dick.

Has anyone else heard the whisperings about Nonbinate/M Blackburn?
Their ex BFF wrote a novel but never shared the document publicly that I can see.

https://kumalattecosplay.notion.site/My-Experience-with-Nonbinate-1d530918310c80aa9688fb2a17695e85?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwKhu9tleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABp4slMRcq3tpYoq5eCKvw3pjmWLFATtSs0o-NEDCQ0uSxKNydJAQwM9CQOwUq_aem_OVacgrYt_KCeAwsjTDjSwQ

This shit is cursed, look at the nipples, gross and ugly.

>>349724
ngl that face mask is genius though. I thought the thumbnail was a furry head, but it creates the same sort of anatomy look. Also yes. People who think it's cute to show off their nipples are disgusting.

>>349166
It always looks so bad. I swear it started to take off after 2020 and got worse from there. I hate how helmet wigs look and refuse to style my wigs like that. They should just do their own wigs and trial and error it, because for the price of a commission, you can just do it yourself.

>>349724
furries and fags are one in the same, huh

>>349718
if it's not publicly posted how did you find out?

>>349851
It got shared with someone, who shared it with someone, who shared it with someone who shared it with me.

I don't know a lot of people who have a good opinion of M, so I'm not surprised.

This monstrosity won best in show at fan expo Dallas. It looks like a child's craft project

>>350329
i didn't know they sold sakizo cosplay on temu

>>350329
>platinum blonde hair
>cream color palette
>Makes everything garish and white af
Hideous. This looks so rushed and half-assed.

>>350329
Imagine you're sakizo and you see this. Nothing is right with this. And why is everything white??

>>350329
It’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.

>>350329
I'm the biggest sakizo hater you could post a good one and it would still look like shit, these cluttered ugly designs don't even look nice in the drawing and people only do them for cons so they can try to flex about how complex~ the design they're doing is and get brownie points from people who are too overwhelmed to know what they're looking at is mediocre at best

>>350337
> do not translate super well to an actual garment
Definitely agree however I think a lot of cosplayer use wayyy too heavy fabric for the dresses. It almost makes me want to cosplay Sakizo art myself kek

>>350329
This is probably the worst design Sakizo ever farted out. No cosplayer has been able to pull it off and probably shouldn’t try.

>>350344
I 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).

>>350329
Why does NO one ever do Sakizo cosplay properly? The colors and fabric textures are so off. Did no one else enter the show?

>>350357
What a difference in quality. I like how her wig blends into the cones and they dont look stuck on her head. What do so many people unable to sew or craft do Sakizo cosplay like >>350329

>>350365
Isn't that something Cowbutt got popular for? Starting out with those? Maybe I'm thinking of another cosplayer, but there have been several makers who have done very successful translations.

>>350366
The craftsmanship is leagues better but I feel removing the bottom cones would improve the design.

>>350365
Fan 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.
