So...Cosplay?

[RyanAtlus]

'Anime' seemed to be the most appropriate section for this. 'General' is kinda meh.

 

I'm going to cosplay for the first time on 17-18 Octobre. My costume will be a very cheap Jack Atlas (€20).

I visited the friend who would help me with it, a more experienced cosplayer, yesterday.

What I saw was very awkward.

Apart from several semi-hentai posters on the wall and entire collections of manga, I was kinda shocked to see detailed nazi clothings, complete with the Hitler cross thingy.

According to him, it's very normal to cosplay as nazis on 18+ conventions.

 

Is this normal, or is he kinda weird(ish)?

[RyanAtlus]

Por favor?

Ohayocon 10 in january =3 im cosplaying Rudger (my costume is 60% done) and my friend Jim is going as Demak.

 

on topic: um... i have yet to see a hitler at a con...

 

AND what con isnt 18+?

[Crow™]

I'm going to an anime con in May. Guess who I'm going to be. 8)

The hitler thing is just insulting IMO. Unless he's been living under a rock since 1938 or just brainless..-,-

a lot of halloweens ago, I went as Kankuro from Naruto.

yeah, i know, but it was sweet because I had like, the best costume. Puppet & everything.

But no pockets.... lol nowhere for mah hands D:

nowadays, no, you wouldn't catch me dead doing that, unless it's something a bit

less kiddish :P like maybe going as Spike Spiegel or something less dramatic XD

Trust me you do not wanna try cosplaying as a Jinzo

(you'd need a really long neck)

I'd say it depends, was the Nazi clothing for a generic Nazi or a specific one?

Generic.

 

Anyways, I'm going to do Jack Atlus; seems pretty cool.

Downside is; my hair is too long XD but we'll find a solution for that.

I'll send pics after the convention.

Sounds great.

 

Generic Nazi you say? Well, the main reason most people I know cosplay is 1. to show off what they can do and 2. to get a reaction. A Nazi uniform would get a pretty big reaction i'd guess. So it's probably nothing big.

I find Cosplaying a Stupid thing to do, when your my Age, 19.

 

But, why do people feel obliged to Dress up like Idiots, wearing Ridicules Costumes, that were never meant to be seen in the Real World.

 

I only ever Dress up for Halloween Party's and Such.

If it was something for kids, why would there be 18+ conventions?

Because it's fun, silly~

Plus, it gives people a chance to express themselves, and it allows them to meet other people with common interests. There's nothing idiotic about it.

 

Anyway, I've, uhm, never seen a Nazi cosplay before, no. xD

I was going to go to Animazement, but I ended up not being able to go. =/ I even had a Hikaru (Ouran) cosplay done, too. D: Everyone who was willing to take me was either sick, or had work. >>;;

Because there are! It doesn't matter why, and I thought I could just Voice my opinion on the matter, and everybody would go on like I never even posted, that's how it usually goes.

 

Damn you for paying attention.

 

For the Adults\Young Adults that feel obliged to do so, with other people there Age.

Also, I only talked about Cosplaying, I didn't voice my opinion, on Comic\Anime Conventions, I myself go to those quite commonly.
