Seriously this is pathetic. If you don't to get in trouble for talking shit on a TV show, don't talk shit in front of a camera period.

This whole "but they edited it to make me look bad" is a double edged sword, because you have to have said something that could've been construed in the wrong way in order for them to edit it.

>> No.7088190

That's note entirely true. It's possible with editing to splice together unrelated comments to make it look like you were making negative comments about a completely different subject than it's original concept.

>> No.7088208

>>7088190
This is true. Editing can be powerful, especially when people aren't there to see what's really going on. But in this case, while I'm sure the producers were prompting her to talk about Jessica and probably even asked her something like "How would you compare Jessica's craftmanship to____", they would have to be miracle editors (which SyFy doesn't have) to magically construct what she said out of nothing.

This damage control is stupid and should have just been done between her and Jnig in private if she was really sorry for hurting her bff Jnig. Or has she still not learnt about not putting so much of yourself out in the public? Editing or not I am tried of all these bitches on this show realizing that going on a reality TV show with zero control over editing is dangerous for your image.

I doubt this show has a large budget that they are paying for such amazing editing as they are claiming. (Hell after watching each episode again you can see them reusing clips form one contest for another contest. The Draven guy appears in ep one and then again in ep 4.) Stuff might be taken out of context but you shouldn't let the words leave your mouth in the first place.

I can't wait for the next ep when they break into teams of 3 and compete against one another. I am sure that the Becky vs Monika drama will continue and await the back peddling on that. They were purposely setting them up for this and these bitches were apparently that dumb they couldn't tell.

Editting doesn't take a ton of effort or cost. You just need the footage, editing software and someone who can tweak things into juicy drama.

>> No.7089226

So I watched this, and I can understand that anyone who gets called out on doing something awkward would wanna say "No that's not me, that's not what I do." Regardless if Yaya meant what she said or not, the words that came out of her mouth were one whole sentence which was "Jessica approaches cosplay in the wrong way." We all get that you wanna talk about craftsmanship and appreciating the "art", Yaya, but you still said someone was going at it the wrong way when truly there isn't. When you say "Have fun" That's what we all do already.

Anywho, my only problems with this video are 1. you shouldn't have to make these videos to begin with. Be adult about it, own up to what you may have done and tell the truth. Some people won't believe ya, some will. And what really shows your true colors is how you choose to handle it. 2. The instant she had "gifts" for Jessica I was done. We don't need to see planned good faith if y'all are friends already.

Eventually, yeah, horny fuckbrains will find some new hotter gamer girl to fawn over, but for now we're stuck with her. I don't even get it. She's not hot. There are so many better looking people with stereotypically better bodies on a street corner. And on top of it, all her photos have endless comments saying how "big" they are, which is not even true. Sure she's top heavy lately, but again, those tits aren't anything to write home about.

I seldom come here and even less often post.

Firstly its cosPLAY so remember that,

Second its SciFi.. the people that made starbuck a girl and showed the chupacabra vs the Alamo.

Third have seen 0 epp's the Commercials told me all I needed to know.

All that being said, the elite cosplayer attitude is not all that uncommon, if Ms Han has some of it we should not be surprised but remember the editor and post production can make what was said seem much different that what was said.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion for which I surely will get some shit but after seeing the show and her vids, I seriously question the general opinion of this place that Yaya was the unnecessary evil in cosplay or something. I really like her craftmanship and even if this damage control stuff came up, I understood her worry about her protegé who seemed a bit too young to find the right balance in sexy vs craftmanship. The video with JNig is surely meant to appease some angry JNig-neckbeards that fling even more of their junkfood-induced shit in Yayas general direction and therefore, I agree that it is mostly damage control and propaganda but it is an intelligent solution to end this huge shitfest.

Of course, a TV-show would overdramatize everything but not everyone watching the show is a cosplayer themselves who can tell A and B apart and some people don't get that different opinions on a topic not necessarily mean a fight between two people and that it is a difference whether a grown-up person choses to wear a skimpy outfit or a young girl is influenced in a way that can easily ruin her reputation andgive her a lot of unwanted attention.

Actually the show made me like Yaya much more than I did before, cause we see her expressing concern about being a worthy judge and about craftmanship and stuff.

I think you are reading way too much into this. A number of events within that show are staged and scripted to sound like they have some kind of order, or that Yaya really has a "protegee". They likely threw that in there to make her sound like she's a constant mentor to the younger girls.

I can praise Yaya for some of her good work, but I think she's personally overdoing it. I don't think she's evil or some megavillain, but she could use some avoiding to sound like an after-school special hero of cosplay.

If anything, she's stressed set a negative standard about needing to make calendars, the pressure to churn out a new cosplay per each con (how many people can afford this so effortlessly?), and this is all not just based on the show, but HER public actions.

I've recently talked to people who didn't know much about cosplay but have expressed interested in it before, but now they feel so intimidated by the fact that the show's gone far enough to set all these ridiculous standards, and obviously with Yaya signing up, she knows what she was getting herself into. It's been her "pet project" for some time. Had she believed this was all "for fun" as her FB stresses, then it'd be less about her making large ass campaigns and focusing on genuinely trying to work within the cosplay community to improve some of the warped mentalities.

The debate about sexy versus craftsmanship is a good one, but the fact remains that Yaya's opinion sounds like she's massively contradicting herself, and it's surely not based on her "spliced" words only in that show. I don't understand though why people think this is her being "genuine." I'm sure she appreciates accurate work but to go that far to be a "mentor" was just her being placed in a role to look favorable to the audiences.

>> No.7093086

>>7093066
I get your point, however, I feel said stress was not put on every person, especially not by her, since she stresses that it is important for /her/ to keep her position and the privilege to be judge and special guest.

Of course, this is all not for fun and I did not read her fb-post on that but I really get how it is important for someone who wants to be judge and 'ambassador' and also makes a living out of cosplay, the standards are extraordinarily high. I never got the idea of her applying her own standards to the community by the show itself, even though the whole mentoring thing had me raising an eyebrow as well.

I have to say I liked the fact that she is setting such a high standard for herself, because if she did not, how could you respect her as a judge? I think she is under the permanent pressure of someone surpassing her which would be crucial in her case because she makes a living from it.

I can understand people are intimidated by such a high standard but I always got the feeling it will only be applied to those who want to make their hobby their profession as well.

To me, it makes her more likeable to be like that because it shows she is aware of her position and actually works to maintain it. What would make her unlikeable would be to rely on her former reputation only and use it to sell something. I think it gives her the image of someone still working on themselves as well, which is something I approve of.

Actually, I myself have never felt really competitive about cosplay myself but if there are high monetary prices at stake in US convention, I can understand the stress somehow and I am actually a bit envious of the possibility to gain money from cosplaying and being able to finance some of your projects through it.

But maybe all in all it might be my perspective as someone who has neither been to the US, nor to one of those convention, that allows me to see it all that way.

But, the thing is, A LOT of people don't respect her as a PERSON. So, it doesn't really matter about her judging shit.

Just, your entire post dude. You sound incredibly new or as if you've been living under a rock, because she's been hated for a reason for years. Prior to this show even being a thing. The knights can cry jealousy all they'd like, but when so many people have individual stories of her being terrible (not to mention her titty tantrums and the cat ear drama), for you to just sit and call everyone a liar after the women proudly displayed her cuntiness on tv and then backpeddled hard is just naive.

Titty tantrums = asking people to treat her as a human being, not only a pair of tits? How DARE she!

Cat ear drama = when someone infringed her design and she rightfully sued them? What nerve!

You can't copyright clothes because they are utilitarian. Primark could buy a Vivienne Wstwood bag, cut it up and use it for a pattern and it wouldn't be infringing. But the minute you copy a logo you're done. That's why so many brands cover their shit in their logos - its not because anyone genuinely think it looks good, it's because it makes it easier to prosecute people who would copy.
