ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 When I was a kid, I thought that beards were just hair that bald old dudes took of their head and put on their face. Pete No, it's for those who have the luxury of not having their wife getting up them saying it's too prickly on their skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 woot my patches came in! I'll grab some pics later, they're pretty niec looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Has anyone noticed this utter beauty??? Who is she!? I must marry her! And here she is singing at the Mall! : The dress and boots are just perfect! In fact, I would love to get my girlfriend a pair of such boots for Christmas... Anyways, I'll go back and read the previous posts because I only Mercurial's Morph's post just above, but I agree with Merc Morph: Cosplay is fun! It's great fun! Heck - I can't understand people who have something against cosplay... it's like being against Halloween or something... Besides; we allow people we idolize/admire to influence how we dress, how we look, how we think - artists are always inspiring us in every facet of our life - Cosplay is a great opportunity for us to interpret our favorite characters in our own way and give them that special something just from us. It's just theater - street theater really... and there are lots of "normal" folks way creepier than cosplayers Anyways - hope this Ranka hasn't been posted, if she has, forgiveness - but I wanted to share and say how wonderful she looks!

Macrossmaster Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm Asian too (Filipino) and my beard grows back like untrimmed bush in like... less than 2 days after shaving Beard growth isn't tied to ethnicity ya know... Curse your beard growing abilities! BTW, this uniform was mentioned earlier in the thread (muuuuch earlier). I'm offering it for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=110299125954 It's gone one auction with no bids, so bid once and win it. Then geek out hardcore.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Wow. Thanks for taking the stereotypical approach and bashing cosplayers with nothing but ignorance and mislogic. First of all, no one does this outside of conventions and festivals where it's become a rather accepted and appreciated part of the event. And even if they do (not everyone's the same after all) and can assure you that they're not jumping up and down like addicts the way you depicted. Your LT analogy is a gross misrepresentation. Secondly, very few "force themselves" to look like a character. Rarely do I see someone drastically alter their regular appearance for a costume. The most drastic I've seen is a guy shave his head for Psycho Mantis. Big whoop. There's even a ton of people that constently only cosplay characters of their body type, which is kind of sad to someone like me, who believes cosplay is a part of fandom. Though some just like to join in and be in costume as well, the costume not mattering as much as just being a part of things. So just like everything else, cosplay attracts people for different reasons. Wigs and makeup can be taken off. So no one's forcing themselves to do anything. Where's the harm in it? How is someone killing a character for you just because they're not anorexic or GAR enough as a FICTIONAL character? "Oh NOES Sheryl has a pot belly and Ozma's too short" If one could only cosplay as characters one resembled, there'd be a lot of characters left out as few people look anything like idealized character designs. It's pretty much a physical impossibility nine times out of ten. I've seen some so-so costumes of favorite characters, but they don't make me care less for them, and it can be even nice to see that other people like them (like how I'm amazed at the number of Rankas when she gets so much flak here). Not to mention how satisfying it can be when people recognize your obscure costume (some people won't even do characters they think won't be acknowledged). How can you not get why someone would cosplay if you've gone so far as to get a tattoo? How is making and wearing a jacket from a show you enjoy any less odd than permanently marking your body with it? I also love how you disapprove of cosplay, yet actively say you find some people that do it hot. Now that is creepy. ;;That's like the photographers that obviously are taking pictures of the cute girls with the costume as an excuse. Cosplaying Macross damages it? How? Do you have any idea how many people decide to watch something because of an awesome costume or skit they saw? Yes, there are some poorly done costumes, and yes people generally aren't as attractive as the characters they dress as, but what right have you to say it's something only a druggie would do, or that it's any creepier than having someone ink Minmay or a Valkyrie onto your arm. (for the record, I have nothing against tattoos, and appreciate them like cosplay, just making a point). It a fun activity that harms no one and celebrates something you enjoy that takes some courage to do. It can build confidence and allow you to meet new, like minded people while showing off your fandom and skills. What's so wrong about it? Do you really want to be like the elitists that bash some cosplayers just because they aren't as skilled or are overweight? They're sadly out there, and proof or the courage needed to actually do this. Also, if you think Macross is so different from other anime, you're largely mistaken. MF itself appeals to the Bleach and Naruto crowd just as much as it does the "mature" crowd. Get off your delusional high horse please. Keep your petty change. Sorry if I'm being rude, everyone's entitled to an opinion, but your logic is vastly flawed. You don't think much of cosplay, that's fine. I have no problem with you not liking it. I DO have a problem with you saying it's harmful, creepy and parallel to substance abuse. That's just messed up. Particularly when it's no weirder than forever having Minmay or whomever stare lifelessly from wherever you pasted her face. I can take off my makeup after all. Besides, if you don't like it, why are you even in this thread? Don't click on a cosplay thread and I guarantee you we creepy cosplayers won't be an issue for you. There are plenty of sites where you can find your "hot, busty jap(anese) girls", without the weird costumes.. Hikuro, could you post pictures of the real patches when you get them? I'm curious as to how they look. I'm debating redoing the sleeves on my own jacket. At least loosening them up a bit, as they're mildly restrictive as is (the left moreso). Nice read. People just want to have fun. I'm gonna cosplay soon. :0 won't be for another 5-7 months while the stuff gets made up though. XD I promise it won't be star trekky (dear god no) DeadGhost, i got style, i got the utmost respect for macross just as much as the elitist fan ever.
