is cosplaying in public cringe or based?
>>10459341What do you think people teleport to conventions?
>>10459350is...is that not how people get there?
>>10459350i ment just doing day to day shit, not on the way to a con
>>10459350>can't phase through the time-space continuumShiggy
Who cares? Normies freak out about everything.
>>10459341>>10459353I think its pretty great, tons of normies would be "offended" by it though, because they are truly miserable people
>>10459341100% cringe (get ready to be interrogated or get pictures taken of/laughed at), but the based part is when you don't give a fuck and do what you want. it's both
>>10459341It makes my pp hard, like the guy sitting right of her, he is clearly trying to hide his erection.
>>10459385>her
>>10459386Contrary to you, degenerate pig, Japan doesn't associate pastel colors with trannies.
>>10459389>american telling me about japan
>>10459393But I am not American.
>>10459389That character is a boy. The cosplayer is most likely a boy too.
>>10459395but you aint a jap either
>>10459397>That character is a boyI know>The cosplayer is most likely a boy too.Maybe, I was referring to the image he posted though, I am tired of people calling every pokemon character with pastel colors gay/trans.>>10459398My nationality doesn't make you less degenerate
>>10459399its not even pastel lmao thats deadass just the transflag but they fucked with the saturation. gen 5 was based off 'murica and people started giving a fuck about tranners in 'murica around the time the games came out
>>10459400cope
>>10459386the cosplayer is clearly a girl, faggot.
>>10459400dilate
>>10459400
>>10459400>thats deadass just the transflag but they fucked with the saturation>It has these 2 colors so it is clearly a reference>I know they aren't exactly the same colors, but if they were it would be clearly referencing it!
>>10459341Nope, one of the funniest things is finding cosplayers in public transportation or on the streets in your way to a con.
>>10459469the identical posing really sells it
>>10459400You know those combination of colors existed before trans shit. Just like the rainbow used to be used for children and mean peace but now has a political agenda atrached to it.
>>10459469extremely based
>>104593415 parts based, 3 parts cringe.Braised.
I remember theres used to be a Naruto cosplayer that went to the local theme park like, all the time. They were somewhat of a local legend and pretty much every kid that went there within a certain time frame remembers them.
>>10459350Cosplay in public is frowned upon in Japan. You have to change at the convention so you don’t ride the train dressed in cosplay.
>>10459341Every time I cosplay in public like going to a restaurant after a con, normal people who don't know whats going on a few blocks over always ask for pictures. I love it
>>10459704One time i wandered into a sewing convention that happened to be in the same building as the con i was at, all the old ladies loved our handmade costumes and took pictures.
>>10459341i once cosplayed in public solely on the basis of getting food cause conventions are overpriced, and god the sheer fucking scale of 12 y/o bootlickers and middle aged confusion was immense
>>10459933>solely on the basis of getting foodMarry me anon, I have food.
>>10459913That's adorable

>>10459969Your face is adorable
>>10459341based. do whatever the hell you want to do. have fun. we don't have much time.
Cosplaying in general is cringe. That's why nerds like it. You revel in how much of a geek you are around other like-minded geeks. Making normies go "wtf why is that weirdo dressed like a cartoon" is part of the fun.
>>10459397Cosplayer isn't a boy. It's some bitchy half-asian cosplayer from the UK who calls herself Rinuyii.
Based, probably, but that's not what I feel when I see it. What I feel is jealousy because it isn't me.Especially when I see cosplayers at the local store saturday evening, and you just know they're gonna have an awesome sleepover with anime and pocky and cosplay.
cringing is just a reaction that people have who aren't developed emotionally. i bet it has something to do with being bullied as a kid and they feel like that person should feel shame, when in reality the rest of us are just having a good time doing whatever we want
>>10460691you sure seem to find people who cringe, cringy.
>>10460705nah i just feel bad for em
>>10460691It's a reaction people with a healthy level of shame have when others who have none, make complete asses of themselves. I was never bullied and I still cringe because some people are just embarassing.
>>10459341Absolutely based, god bless each and every one of them
>>10460773yeah but if you think a cosplayer or someone just having fun is making an ass of themselves then you take yourself way too seriously. I get it for retards in a grocery store yelling at clerks or something
>>10460781You can "just have fun" and be cringey.I'm not necessarily saying cosplayers in public are, but the two aren't mutually exclusive.
>>10459400I’ve never seen a character with a pink/white/blue color palette that is actually supposed to be trans. I hate that a very cute color combination has been hijacked by the trans pride flag.
>>10459341Cringe if done for no reason. Based if you have the slightest reason.This is subject to change if said cosplay is cringe.
>>10459400Foreign posters are absolute fucking cancer
It's whatever. I like to wear stuff that characters wear casually (like Ryuji's yellow shirt from P5) but I wouldn't do an entire outfit. That would be kinda weird. Unless, of course, there's an event or an occasion or something. If I'm going to a con, ofc I'll wear it.
>>10459350I mean, that's how I get there. What, do you actually walk or take some form of vehicle transportation like a poor person?
Do what you want. Life is short.
You gotta have balls to cosplay Hideri in public
>>10462463Maybe for you, but I'm pushing 150Where are you getting your virgin blood from? You really can't cheap out on that stuff
>>10461104odious faggots want a colorless world
>>10463604Hmmmmmmm?Have crossplayed as Sailor Mars in public. Vaguely remember getting whistles, and a salesmen trying to get me to look at makeup. Other than that, not much else. Did go to strippers right after a con once, sadly wasn't dressed that time
Based if you have good tastes.
Based if you do for yourself.Based and retarded if you look stupid.Cringe if you do it for attention.
>>10459341Depends on character, how mainstream, and how confident you are.You could probably Sasuke everyday
>>10459341On the last day of his Japanese class, one of my friends cosplayed as Inuyasha. I didn't know, I was just in the same building at the same time, and happened to walk past him and laughed at seeing my black friend wearing the robe of the firerat and then laughed harder when he said it wasn't an event or anything, he just wanted to wear it on the last day. It was a blessed experience and I'm glad I randomly ran into him.
>>10467773based baser
>>10459353Why not have fun shopping and shit. Is fun in public bad?
>>10459469It's great to see cosplayers out in public hanging around. When it's a group like that, it's even better.
>>10459350>not having a car
>>10474278>parking space in a conventionAlso people actually fly out and go to other places and arent stuck with wyoming animecon or whatever you dabble in
>>10474278>thinking that having a car in 2020 and only going to cons within driving distance is a flex
Why not the world need more color and tell a story perhaps Alice in wonderland quote Shakespeare .
>>10459341>is cosplaying in public cringe or based?I have no issue with itpeople reactions can either be cringe or based depending on your luckyou might find someone who recognizes your character and have a good time talkingyou might also get people taking pics of you without asking
>>10459400Right, and Gulpin represents Jamaica, because Hoenn is a tropical island and Gulpin has green yellow and black on it
>>10462463Youth is short. Life is so, so long...
>>10462463I don't take orders from you
>>10459341BASED...if said cosplayer looks good and is attractive.That's just logic, all fashion no matter how retarded, catches on when someone attractive starts doing it, ironically cosplay is becoming more and more accepted by the main stream because of good looking cosplayers like Belle Delphine, and Hit or miss girl.If you're cute and look good and put effort into your cosplay of course people are going to look at you, but they'll be thinking >"damn, such a brave person who goes against the grain, I admire them"vs when an ugly person does it and people will think >"ew what a greasy creep, I'm going to take a photo and post it on to my cringe compilation reddit page"
>>10459469"Cosplayers doing regular shit" is legit one of my favorite thread topics.
>>10459341The only people that care are boomers that think they have a shred of self respect left
>>10459646That's rarted
cringe
Based
It depends on what you're doing, if you're being annoying and causing a scene in a mall, its cringe, but if you are just doing normal stuff but in cosplay, its pretty fucking cool, especially if its good.
>>10459341I don't see how it matters honeslty. As long as you aren't bothering others to do their day to day it shouldn't matter. Though I don't think I'd yank a seat in cosplay, just stand since your shit will take up extra space>>10459350I get told by tons of people "NO ACTUALLY YOU NEED TO DO X", even though I've gone there dunno like 10-15 times? I've had people throw hissy fits at me because of how "cosplaying in public is a crime" in japan. It's like lmoa it's just japan anon, chill out besides tokyo is so boring may as well have fun.
>>10459341based if hot chad
>>10488937D-do you cosplay in public in Japan?Isn't it actually illegal?Also very looked down upon by people, you're giving tourists a bad name
Based if you do it for yourself. Just go and have fun who cares man life is too short and shit.Cringe if you do it for attention or are one of those deadpool cosplayers. Fuck those guys.
>>10459341I usually ask people who cosplay in public if there's an event going on nearby.>>10488937I fucking wish I had the charisma this guy has...>>10489370>you're giving tourists a bad nameimplying they already don't have one?
Anyone who doesn't do anything that's cringe isn't human
>>10459400it's this sort of thing that really makes people think you're mentally ill by the way
>>10488811>Boys then and now
>>10459341Anyone who deviates extremely from the norm is cringe. Trannies, goths in Merilyn Manson boots, cosplayers. If you dress like a clown, people will think of you as a clown no matter what you tell yourself to cope. "It's not cringe, it's based! People who cringe are emotionally damaged because they were bullied!".If your face is covered then who cares, no harm done.
Personally they are based.But the second hand embarassment coming from other people offsets that
>>10459970fuck you soup
Pretty cringe unless there is an event around.
On this video it will https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCC-OpV5MvY
>>10459350I got a court order saying I can't teleport any more. Teleport into the women's restroom "on accident" that some how gets you on a no teleport list.
>>10495797Gross, Larry.
>>10459341Depends on a few things: Time, place, and whether or not your body type is right for the character you're trying to cosplay as. Once, I was rolling through my local grocery store, and it was near Halloween. One of the cashiers was cosplaying as Inuyasha. It was then that I knew which register I was using on my way out the door cuz this guy nailed it.I only wish I had a pic to share of it.
>>10488937>Crossplay>In public>with zero effort>In Japan>In a famous placeIt looks like he's making fun of their culture. It's like going to the Eiffel Tower in a clown version of a French outfit with a baguette donger.
>>10459341It's only cringe if you're unattractive.
>>10489370>D-do you cosplay in public in Japan?Yes, why not. Only a few people really actually care, most tend to be other tourists who feel the need to get offended for others.>Isn't it actually illegal?No who told you this?. I mean if you are doing it in a public street as a show for cash on a tourist visa, I guess? But that would be more of a visa things.>Also very looked down upon by people, you're giving tourists a bad nameWho told you this because that person wanted a pose I just offered to pick them up for a photo. Just don't take up train spots with your cosplay, yeah pretty sure it would be a dick move to go in a full outfit at 815AM trying to get to somewhere in a glittery dress cramped with people all around you trying to get to work. Off hour or late train, who cares just stick clear of the doors and offer up your seat stand when you can.>>10496983Senso-ji is hardly that famous, it's a big tourist attraction for sure but it's not as famous as comparing it to the Eiffel Tower; and since sensoji closes early not really that big a deal when taking a picture across from a burger king. You aren't just a weeb right, actively done historical research on Japan so you know that the real temple was bombed to another realm. Also that's the street facing part right by the photo op place across from the Burger King, pretty sure no one cares. This isn't like the nuclear memorial down in Hiroshima or me visiting the edo musem to look at the japanese surrender while in cosplay getting selfies with some kinda maga hat on or shit.>with zero effortThis implies most people in Japan just don't also order something online then touch it up when done. Far more practical. Most people just like to have fun, just be mindful of others. There are def some people who take their cosplay as a profession and do so from my ventures to comiket and such, but that's usually why I stick out of the pro cosplay scene, no fun anyways since can't chill with locals.
>>10459341Megabased. I have a car but I do enjoy taking the bus on my way to con.
>>10478684I used to those threads but eventually, the same pictures were being posted again and again. Big meanie roasties made everyone too afraid of posting their pics

Overheard this conversation.>"Look mommy a witch!">"Yes, just like in the Harry Potter books>"Mommy, why is she on the bus?">"What do you mean?">"If she has a broom, couldn't she just fly to New York?"
>>10499567This is so cringe.....
>>10499817Children are amazing
>>10478660>cosplay is becoming more and more accepted by the main stream because of good looking cosplayers like Belle Delphine, and Hit or miss girl.>like Belle DelphineShe's not attractive. Her entire look is comprised of shitty wigs and being outrageously caked in makeup.>and Hit or miss girl.He's not a girl.
>>10499874>>10499567you're probably not old enough to drink
>>10500059The hit or miss girl is a 100% biological woman.
>>10500154If that's what you need to tell yourself to keep your sanity after masturbating to him.
>>10500172They’re a sixteen year old girl, isn’t her fault subhuman pedos became obsessed with a child
>>10500136Nah, it's just weird and attention seeking. I'd feel ashamed to act like that in Japan since they look down upon otakus, so shameful
>>10500561>I'd feel ashamed to act like that in Japan since they look down upon otakus, so shamefulDunno where you get this from since most of my best friends I've made have been shooting the shit at bars, steak houses, onsens, and other places about anime, touhou, and music. By all means you are free to share your experiences, I'm actually still friends with a few of my facebook friends who do cosplay in japan, actually make doujinshi/music, and just love the cosplay. There is one vendor in akihabara each time I go who sets aside touhou shit just for me when I come so meh. Sorry you feel that way of needing self validations about your hobby from others to do what you like. No one really cares about cosplay, like I said, unless it's some huge fluffy dress with glitter and riding the busy hour trains while ignoring the gender cars and expecting people to move for you, no one cares. Just use the Metro on off hours and not the JR lines for those who are in hurry. Who gives a shit if the internet stigma is 'they look down on otaku' because the term you are looking for is hikkomori, not otaku. Feel free most people I've met like it for a laugh and conversation, please do tell us you experiences in japan with locals outside of the tokyo yamanote loop.
>>10497053this is the true answerif you look good then everyone on the planet will give you a passif you look disgusting people will think you are retardedsimple as
I saw two Demon Slayer cosplayers roller skate in the city a few months back, was pretty based
>>10501923Amazing answer right there, people who are afraid of breaking supposed social norms and being judged are cringe.Keep having fun to the fullest cirno bro!
>>10502261you don't even have to be in cosplay for that.
>>10501923You’re a clown to them, a fat old western clown they take pictures with for novelty sake. Nobody finds this endearing besides your equally cringey otaku friends.
>>10459341the cosplayer is based, the creeps that take picture without permission are unbased
>>10502848>I-I'm not mad I'm really not! Stupid dumb cosplayers!Really hope this post was satire
>>10502848>You’re a clown to them, a fat old western clown they take pictures with for novelty sake.Damn the salt here. You're free to inform me where you got this from during trips in Japan, because most the time this kind of mentality/attitude comes from weebs trying to show their e-peens off on 'how much they know about japan so once they go they will be *unlike the other tourists* to locals'. It's all a bunch of shit anon, look at shibuyameltdown or actually experience it for that matter, you'll see some person in a cosplay walking around has 0 affect on the day to day. I mean yeah, probably shouldn't walk around Tokyo station stopping in the middle of things for pics, or use main streets where people are in hurry.You're free to list out the places in Japan where you had this confirmed for you, the +10 times I've been most people don't care. Sure someone will always laugh at you in cosplay, but that happens everywhere; Japan isn't some mythical city on the hill.>Nobody finds this endearing besides your equally cringey otaku friends.Not trying to make any statement, just have fun you know like most people want. Most my Japanese friends I've made are at conventions, run bars, small time singers, or weebs like people on cgl themselves. Not sure what point you are trying to make here anon but hope you if/when you go to Japan you have a good time cosplaying.
Here is the deal if cosplay in public is cringe then lolita in public or any other fashion that isn't the norm is mega cringe.
cringy

>>10459933Happened to me once. Got in a bar outside the con to get a coffee and something to eat, only old people inside. Could notice many disgusted looks and hear some comments the like of "look at this one...ugh".The next years, the same con was made scattered around the town, people and a lot of money started flooding in so no one complained ever again. Hate those people
>>10505090No you see because of (a bunch of mental gymnastics and excuses) it's fine! I will never understand the double standard of it all.Walking around Harajuku in lolita taking photos as wanted? A-OKAY! Walking around in cosplay for any other reasons that isn't lolita/j fashion HOLY SHIT CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY! I-IS THAT PERSON WEARING SOMETHING FROM ALIEXPRESS TOO?!?!?
Cosplay casually is based and cospilled

>>10505066Thank you, Aniki. You boost my confidence!!
>>10459377Idk man, it’s just weird to dress up for no reason. It really depends on the cosplay and how obnoxious you look.
Cringe
>>10459352lol'd>>10459353Actually, I don't cosplay but dress very excentric, and I don't give a shit about what people say.Plus, I'm an old man. IDC, I just want to have fun.>>10459469I wish I had at least 1 friend to do shit like this.>>10459540Totally xD>>10460433Awwwwww>>10460448x2>>10499817Genius child. Now, he is a professor in Oxford.>>10500059TOTALLY AGREE!!! Not like I'm cosplaying, but I go out with really excentric clothes, sometimes with white or yellow contacts, black scleras, big hats, bandages in arms just for the sake of laughs.
>>10459341it's really simplelike many things, it's based if you're cute and/or hot, and cringe if you're not
Basically I went through a lot of crowded stations dressed like this, through places people would never know what a cosplay is. It's based.
I saw a really shitty Naruto waiting for a tram at 11:30pm outside CRX last year and didn't get to take a pic but that shit was fucking funny.
>>10509566You even spell eccentrically
>>10460691based Faceless Void poster
>>10459341I think everyone should take part in public cosplay. I dont know why the world is boring with pants and shirt all the time, literally can wear anything all day and make the world a more fun place. It's not illegal , and a lot more expressive. People are fucking boring without it. Even the bible said to enter the kingdom of heaven, think like a child. You wanna be treated like a princess? Dress like one.
I have this theory that if gods exist and are aware of you they will believe you. That is to say, if you walk around dressed like spiderman, you might be the only one, they may believe that into existance and then you are spiderman. Pants and shirt? Piece of shit piss and shit

I obviously should have made way for the mario kart racers whizing by the place, I'm sure people dressed as princess peach and yoshi driving a go cart infront of the temple were way way more in tune with the situation.
>>10514124literally only cringe if you can't or don't pull it off. Most the people who get ass blasted about proper cosplay shit often have no chance in hell pulling it off outside a photoshoot. Just my 2c

>>10497071Confirmed retard. It is illegal in Koto especially around comiket time, cosplayers are not allowed to travel to or from the venue in cosplay.
>>10501923>Dunno where you get this from since I only associate with people who have the same interests and hobbies as me which exclude me from the majority of society but my opinion and the opinion of my tiny circle of associates who also enjoy my hobbies is that everyone enjoys my hobbies and I will not accept any other opinions because it would then shatter my massive ego that I am just a bloated white elephant used as a freak show for the delighted Japanese audiences.I fucking hate foreigners like you who give everyone else a bad name. People do care, they just won't say anything because 建前 prevents them, but I assure you they fucking bitch behind closed doors.> the term you are looking for is hikkomori, not otakuNo it isn't. Otakus are just as derided in Japanese society as hikikomori are except you don't have to look at hikikomori.You are a side show to the Japanese and they find it hilarious because they know that eventually you'll go home and your country has to deal with you and they can get back to their normal lives without having to worry about retarded foreigners shitting the place up.
>>10495797Ministry overstepping its bounds once again. Makes me wish Grindelwald won sometimes.
>>10521885no it's not. it's just against comiket rules to cosplay in the venue so most people will change after they are done inside and stay in the cosplay area till they go home.
>>10459386You're so far off it's unreal. The colors are clearly meant to invoke toxicity/ venomous animal coloration. At least use something from Pokemon that matches the colors or an actual example like the Karate King turned Beauty in Gen VI(not saying Sylveon is trans pandering, but the shiny colors and pokedex entries do raise some eyebrows)

It is illegal in Koto especially around comiket time,t. never been
>>10523446Cosplay as a whole is technically illegal in almost all of the civilized world as a whole, but it's almost never enforced. Cosplay breaks copyright laws that exist almost everywhere, and Japan wouldn't need any special laws against cosplay for it to be banned. All they'd need would be to enforce laws that already exist in the rest of the civilized world as well.
>>10523534Cosplay is transformative and is allowed under fair use laws, dipshit.
>>10523582The US are the only country with fair use laws, which is what I had in mind when I said "almost". And even then, almost all Americans I've seen on the internet misunderstand fair use. Fair use does not mean you're free to make fanart. It applies to parody and educational stuff, it does not apply to generic fanart. And no, "parody" and "copy" are not synonyms. Parody is a form of expression where you make some sort of comment on the original work. It is not a parody if you simply copy the original work for yourself. So I'm not certain even fair use laws would apply to cosplay.The law does not make a distinction between doing something for profit and doing it because you are a fan, either. That's an idea that fans have, but it's not true. Just because you do it for free does not mean you are allowed to do it. You do have companies shutting down fan projects that are free, and they have the legal right to do it too.If cosplay is legal, then it should also be possible for Disney to have Pokemon characters walking around in Disneyland, without asking for permission, because it'd be the same laws that apply.If you're going to be REALLY nitpicky, you could say that it's not cosplay that's illegal per se, and it isn't, but it is illegal if you haven't asked the property holders for permission.I think that's what I've heard is the case in Japan, you need a cosplay license from the owner of the work you're cosplaying from. Could be false, but to be on the right side of the law, that would be required in every civilized country, not just Japan either.
>>10523588>The US are the only country with fair use laws,Uh.... no.EVERY FUCKING COUNTRY with copyright laws also has fair use laws. You would be surprised at how FUCKING EXTENSIVE (uh, I mean, "detailed") those are in some European countries.The only countries with no fair use laws are the countries which do not recognize copytright anyways.

Who cares if someone laughs at you, 7 billion or so people here>Otakus are just as derided in Japanese society as hikikomori are except you don't have to look at hikikomori.yeah that's cool and all to say online but at the end of the day no one really cares other than an off chance they go "oi did you see that silly foreigner cosplaying? what an idiot!" which is about the same talk as you'd get anywhere. Travel more there anon, once you realize it's all the same shit you say fuck it as well.> without having to worry about retarded foreigners shitting the place up.You've never dealt with Koreans in Japan or Chinese I take it while in Japan trying to do literally anything related to travel(and nothing in Harajuku I take it). Besides most the time the places I go are no name towns off the shin osaka route so it's kinda fun just to hang out with ji-san and stuff shoot the shit with some beers and make funny gintama references. Some of my best memories are just drunk as cirno and watching gintama with the bar in gifu.>>10517773congrats on capping the cringiest post of that thread my fellow anon.
10523588 (not even giving that moron (you)sFun fact: you CAN go costumed as Pikachu in Disneyland. What you can NOT do is to go costumed as a Disney character in DIsneyland unless you are a child. Nothing to do with copyright laws - such a costumed adult could be mistaken for a park employee. Nothing to do with copyright, and if you as an adult dress in a way that is plainly evocative of a Disney character (even in such a way that would be grounds for a copyright demand if you were a character in a non-Disney movie) but are clearly NOT dressed as that character (a public favorite being almost Han Solos) they don't give a shit.EVERY FUCKING THING that moron says is wrong. Don't respond to bait. /cgl/ has already enough drama with the fighting over photoshop and body weight.
>>10523812You're pretending like Japan isn't one of if not the most heavily normative culture in the entire world to the point parents deliberately starve and negliglect their mentally ill children because their children bring shame on the family because they're different and this isn't a once off occurence.It's a culture where children, up until 1997, were considered mentally ill if they didn't want to go to school.It's a culture where hikikomori is a genuine national problem because people are so fucking sick of pressures of Japanese life.It's a culture where you have wait, potentially hours, for all your colleagues to complete their work before you can go home otherwise you might make htem feel bad and you'll look disloyal to the company.It's a culture where companies do have blacklists of ex-employees that they share with each other to make sure you drink the kool-aid which includes people who don't want to go to nomikai, don't want to do needless overttime or want to be employed on merit, not seniority.It's a culture where any hair that isn't black will get you reprimanded in any serious job.Stop pretending like Japan isn't unique in it's normative culture. It's one of the reason Japan is the way it is.
>>10523883>You're pretending like Japan isn't one of if not the most heavily normative culture in the entire worldPlease for the love of fuck go to some of the other countries or rural parts of china, eastern europe or stuff. Like damn son.>didn't want to go to school.So same as in SEA, China, Korea, and most asian countries?>pressures of Japanese life.Ah good to know that Korea never had this problem ever, nope shut ins only exist in Japan. >hikkoOtaku is basically the same as calling someone a nerd, I'm sure in anime it's still being gone over as EHHHHHH OTAKY EWWW. But it's the same shit as being called nerdy, hikkomori is way farther in the dumb end of the spectrum. Otaku is so overused it's basically lost all meaning.>for all your colleagues to complete their work before you can go home otherwise Do contracting, if Kanji san wants to make me work late tell him to contact my agency and buy more hours. Good thing some of us have worked there and know how to deal with that shit.

You mean the PR people or some shit?> It's one of the reason Japan is the way it is.Never said it wasn't, basically pointing out it's not really the mythical city on the hill where no wrong is done. Japan is fine but once you go to china a few times, korea, or some other shit. You really just lose those vacationer/grass is greener eyesight and don't care as much.It's just japan, it's unique yes but that doesn't mean it somehow has no faults and is perfect and that's how it works in japan because I saw a post on gaia and watched some vlboggers on niconico.
it's poggers
>>10524189I'm not talking about foreigners dipshit. I'm talking about the Japanese in Japan and how they're treated by each other.
>>10524353lmao okay so how is that relevant to us foreigners
>is cosplay in public cringe or based?I really don’t care when I see it. Being exposed to niche hobbies my entire life has desensitized me to whatever people do. If it doesn’t hurt anyone, and it doesn’t involve me, I don’t care when I see it. I guess I just don’t think too hard about this kind of thing; I see teenagers wearing AOT jackets and wigs at malls in my area periodically. Anime is kind of everywhere now, so I think most young people sort of understand it by proxy of being exposed in some way, be it walking past a hot topic in the mall, flipping through TV channels, hearing friends talk about nerdy interests, etc
>>10524375Because your entire claims are all about JAPANESE CULTURE not japanese attitudes towards foreigners. We are all aware foreigners get the gaijin card.Fucking hell you are a retard.
>>10524189>replying to troll baitYou are better than that. For fuck's sake, you're arguing with a troll all whose claims are shit and already disproven. Don't waste your time, gentle Anon: he has failed to convince us, and you won't "convince" him because TrollAnon only fishes for (you)s.

>>10524472Germany's Copyright Act contains a chapter including several specific provisions limiting the scope of rights for the copyright owner with respect to lawfully permitted uses. For instance, such lawfully permitted uses refer to collections for religious use, newspaper articles and broadcast commentaries and, most importantly, the reproduction for private and other personal uses.TL;DR: They do not *CALL* it "fair use", but this IS a fair use clause, Anon.
>>10524397Been in Japan enough and such with work, cosplay, and just boredom that kensama's like this actually believe what is posted there. Poe's law is a bitch at times; and the post is stupidly close to reality of shit I've dealt with.During my times I've been to japan for work/life/vaca/etc times in japan I've seen it all even though they :know how japan works. I have stories from lolita's not knowing how to use the female only cars from 7-9am to people unsure how to buy fucking cheeseburgers and glue. You'd be surprised how fucking inline with shit I've dealt with in Japan is given what anon posted. I've dealt with cosplaying in public being the greatest sin on earth while in Japan, then I ask what parts and it's met with silence or "well my first time but...."Last time I was in Japan I met up with some dude from CGL who I thought would know some shit about cosplay, nope just wanted to film gothic lolita and buy fate doujins+other loli shit. Went to a show with him and it was nothing but gothic lolita's and "the people they knew in Japan" were like 4 ESL teachers and some germans, it was like BRUUUUUH.
>>10524390>>10524353>Because your entire claims are all about JAPANESE CULTURE not japanese attitudes towards foreigners. We are all aware foreigners get the gaijin card.yeah mate I lived in japan off and on to know enough of the difference. Final (you) as a good luck charm, happy new year

So 'cosplaying is illegal in glorious neepon' crwod can you cite us an example of an existing law in japan making Cosplay illegal? Temporary ordinance or otherwise and NO saying 'But Japanese people will call you Meiwaku!!' I don't care. Give me your source or shove it into your asshole
>>10526156>So 'cosplaying is illegal in glorious neepon' crwod can you cite us an example of an existing law in japan making Cosplay illegal?It's not, the only thing illegal is actively doing cosplay for money on main streets. Example: can be asked why you are doing optimus prime in akihabara station while singing songs; but can't be for just walking around as reimu, BNHA, etc. You might be barred from entering some train cars during rush hours; e.g no Inuyasha cosplay on the 5PM train home for people with his big sword.>Temporary ordinance or otherwise and NO saying 'But Japanese people will call you Meiwaku!!' I don't care. Give me your source or shove it into your assholeNo one cares, like literally. Someone will always complain to/about you. Just make sure when you cosplay you do basic shit like not use JR lines during busy hours, know when the main strip of akihabara opens up to cosplay/markets/festivals, and not to intrude on people who don't know what it is. I'd never go in a steak shop unless I knew the owner and wanted to shoot the shit with them about 2hu and dress in cosplay unless I had them on line/facebook soon.Japan can be fun just don't be a dumby.

>>10459341If I see someone in cosplay I'ld assume they're on their way to a convention, a photo location, or something else like that. If I get to know someone is wearing cosplay just randomly as daily clothes that's cringy. I don't judge strangers because I don't know which of the two it is, unless it's very obvious, then I judge according to what I just wrote.

>>10459341I mean obviously it would be pretty unprofessional in /most/ work environments (although work culture is indeed a rapidly changing thing) but I don't judge what people wear on their days off. It doesn't really matter, personal time is your time to do with as you see fit. Seems a little overly busy body-ish to go around developing opinions on complete strangers.
>>10517773>previous post>11/28/20>previous to 10/17/20Phoneposting stalker is retarded.My local convention center is in a shit location, the only food option within miles is a Publix or proper sit down restaurants.Cosplay in public is required to stay alive. Most people don't seem to care one way or the other.
Cosplaying in public during a convention, for a photoshoot, or a meetup: okDoing it in any other time: cringe
>>10459341The guy on the right looks like Mr. Tom.He was a teacher at the Yuen Long Campus.He would pick up kids and play with them. He told me that he, "really liked how we can pick up and play with the kids."He is a child molester.I hate him.

>>10459341I generally wear black shirts because they make me look thinner and jeans because I like them. Lately I had to switch to cloth pants and the place I buy pants from only had them in black. I'm using black coff masks because cloth masks are mostly available in black.Last week the government announced another lockdown an hour before stores closed. I rushed out in the cold to get some supplies to keep me busy, as online stores crashed last time.I went out wearing a black mask, a black hoodie, black pants, black backpack and black fingerless gloves. My hands get cold but I've always had issues with finger lengths. I was dressed like a ninja and I only realized it after I'd bought a toy katana for a diy project.I put the sword on my back to hide it with the backpack and put the hood on to hide my shame, put it only completed the look.I felt pretty damn cringe. The cashier said I'll go viral. A woman laughed. A dude hid behind his gf and took a creepshot. A couple teens on bikes posed their convo to stare at me. They were talking about some autistics.It's not based. It's pretty cringe.
Cringe. I remember like, 4 Valentine's Days ago, my bf and I went out to a nice restaurant. Some lolita was there with her parents in a full coord, even with a jaunty hat. We made fun of her quietly

>>10459341If it's what you are into why not? Normies will stare and call you weird but most of them would be afraid to wear a bright colour in case they stood out, NPCs will have panic attacks when they get the slightest bit of attention.As long as you are dressing up because you enjoy it go ahead, people will think you are actively seeking attention though

>>10558969Based
>>10509741>fatnever ever
>>10459341depends if they're good looking or not
It STRONGLY depends on the person in cosplay. If they are appear to be having a good time (note: don't have to be hooting and hollering to appear to be having a good time), then it's pretty cool. But if the person looks like they feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by all the (inevitable) attention, then it just gets more and more cringe as the clock ticks.Even when I wear stuff like this Fallout hoodie that damn-near appears like half a cosplay, I get side-eyes and stares, but I never let it effect me.

>>10523534You mean trademark. It's not possible to perfectly copy a costume the same way you can copy a movie. If you actually went into a theater and stole their design files and then created a perfect copy of the original that's when you start violating copyright.Have you ever heard of patents? Unless a hardware invention is patented you can just buy an existing machine, take it apart study all the parts, recreate the parts yourself in a way that doesn't create an exact copy and then build your own machine that does the exact same thing. Hardware is not subject under copyright, only its design drawings are.
>>10574104By theater I mean a place where actual human beings in costumes are acting on a stage in front of a live audience.

I mean cosplay is good motivation to keep working out even if covid is happening got some time to make a good game plan as it looks like we are seeing dawn around the corner. Pretty sure most anything has been said in this thread that can be said but really who cares if you cosplay in public. >>10523534>Cosplay as a whole is technically illegal in almost all of the civilized world as a wholeNo it really isn't because TPP doesn't exist>Cosplay breaks copyright laws that exist almost everywhereHey can I get a source for that? been through most of asia and can almost garuntee you know one cares when it comes to cosplay of all things. What people want to 'tax' and 'breakdown' on is the instagrammer, onlyfans, etc that are making more profit than them off the character than what sales for merch/games/etc pull. Licensing the cosplay and use of it is the best way to get that. I think you forget that this holiday called Halloween exists in america, and not even disney goes after that shit; and if disney won't touch a subject you are probably okay. >>10523588You're mixing up country laws with international laws. China does not acknowledge patents, copyrights, or such things; believe me been there enough times to know. We'd have to start pushing towards more global economic laws regarding fair use and such, which no one is willing to touch because it's not worth it and a mess.

The site is 47% or something American too, so why wouldn't we focus on American copyright laws when discussing copyright? Every country has similarities but discussion of law is best when everyone is on the same page about which law is discussed, otherwise it turns into >my country which is the size of Ohio doesn't have the caveat we are discussing!
