As an amateur cosplayer, I think that cosplaying is cool and fun.

  • It’s perverted and God hates cosplayers. Especially that one who lives in Rome and dresses in white all the time; God hates that silly hat. Oh, and he hates all those US cosplayers who cosplay as Nazis, with their silly uniforms, guns, and glammed-up cars.

    Oh… wait… that’s fascists, not cosplayers. No, God’s ok with cosplayers.

    at cons: cosplay is a huge part of what separates the party cons from the sleepy cons. even if you just throw on a ready-made maid costume and nobody comments on it: in effect you’re saying “we welcome weird” everywhere you go and encouraging people to be themselves.

    outside of cons: even better. i go out of my way to swing by the arcade every Halloween because i’m degenerate enough that i think it’s hilarious to see 30 y/o dudes with beards dressed up as Touhou characters playing dance games. but for real: be cosplay, do weird, whoever you are we love you for it.

    I think it’s fun, I’ve done it before, and I want to do it again in the future. As long as you don’t wear it to a formal occasion or refuse to break character, it’s fine.
