Con n Cosplay Pet-Peeves

[conventioncosplayproblems]

I don't like taking regular pictures! I want to for those cool/funny/badass memories!

we’re up all night to the sun we’re up all night to get some we’re up all night for good fun we’re up all night to fiNISH OUR FUCKING COSTUMES BECAUSE THE CONVENTION IS IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS AND SO FAR THE ONLY THING THAT IS DONE IS US

Not so much a peeve, but just problematic situation: When a cosplayer you're a fan of has (knowingly) a gf/bf and you want to do a "couplely" pose to fit yours and their characters. I'm not saying the pose is overly affectionate, I think it's pretty innocent! I mean what do you do?

(Gosh I haven’t answered anything in forever!) I’d have to say that really depends on how the cosplayer feels. If they’re not comfortable with it, or if they know their SO isn’t comfortable with it, you should respect their decision and leave it at that. However if they ARE okay with it, go ahead and take the picture!

Here is just a sample of some of my recent photo project, CONsent, which you can read about here.

Please read and spread the word around. I got to work with some great cosplayers, photographers and fans and I really hope to continue this project if it gains enough support.  Thank you for looking!

I just want to say that as a cosplayer at cons, this is a real issue. The amount of things that get said (and mostly REQUESTED) to us is ridiculous. This deserves a signal boost.

On Facebook a couple days ago BelleChere posted basically asking people to not proposition her. Throughout the comments she noted she was married and neither one of them appreciated creepy comments made toward her. A number of people proceeded to argue with her saying that because she dressed up, it was okay.

I know a ton of people who have dealt with harassment at cons and they feel like they can’t say anything because it’s a convention. WRONG. You deserve to feel safe no matter where you are. Dressing up is not giving someone permission to say something to you or do anything to you.

This is a great project and it gets a boost from me.

Cosplay Tip 10

Before purchasing any fabric, be sure to wrap yourself in it first. Touch the fabric. Smell the fabric. Lick the fabric. Be the fabric.

The effect is best achieved if this is done in the middle of the aisle at your local Joann’s.

This may just be me, but I honestly get really worried about coming off as a fangirl who just wants friendships for status when talking to popular cosplayers.

Why can't we all just have singing animals that'll make our cosplays for us?
