It's frustrating to feel like you’re seeing the same cosplayers over and over featured on social media and people that are more talented or more deserving aren’t getting the spotlight.

>> No.8129715

>>8129704
So promote some good ones. People keep saying we should have threads to showcase lesser known cosplayers who are in it for the craftsmanship and enjoying the hobby, but they either die quickly or devolve into drama.

Why is jnig bitching on Instagram. Something about hard work and she's a real cosplayer and shit.

>> No.8129748

I've heard the "well I shoot this person because we're friends" excuse many times when their motives are so obvious. It's pathetic. If these people are going to be this way then fine that's their business. However if they think they are fooling everyone their delusion is pretty exponential.

>> No.8129754

Thats the whole point. People who are out to get famous will do what it takes, T&A, latest sexy costumes etc, while others who do it because they enjoy the hobby itself are not bothered by not being known. Infact, some good cosplayers rather have very few loyal fans than thousands of neckbeards.

>> No.8129766

MLZ's Katsu videos were a little disappointing. So much time devoted to every one of JNig's stupid eevolutions and Yaya's cosplays, it's pretty obvious that the people who buddy up to coswhores are mostly doing it for their own sake. I love seeing amateur, or at least slightly lesser known cosplayers featured. Because I'm going to see those eevolutions on every website. I'd rather see something new.

>> No.8129820

The elitism and favoritism in both MLZ Katsucon videos is disgusting. There were so many talented cosplayers there who are unknown but didn't make the video because they aren't "Cosplay Famous." I'm not saying these cosplays aren't good, but there were very few cosplayers I didn't already know of and there were way more impressive costumes at this convention that were done by unknown cosplayers.

>> No.8129824

I noticed this during Katsucon this past weekend. I didn't try to seek out the guest cosplayers or most popular cosplayers for pics. It's usually my own friends that appreciate my pictures that I want to photograph. I don't bother looking at videos after a con.

Theres waaay more people who think cosplay is cool on social media (especially instagram) than there are actual cosplayers who'd be bothered by her dishonesty. Its not about boobs as much as they just dont care about cosplay all that much and they'd sooner just stop paying attention to her on their feed than they would start shit via comments.

I follow a ton of recipe/food blogs and Im sure theres drama between food bloggers and reciepe stealers too, but Im not in that scene so I dont care to delve into the specifics. You're atttracting a large "fringe" audience when you go the blog/social media route. Its smart but not always satisfying becuase its a numbers game for those on top.

I personally would not want to be super cosfamous. See that's the thing, I love cosplay as it let's me escape from my job and just take in the con atmosphere doing something silly. I've worn outfits that have gotten me stopped every 5 steps and you pile it with photoshoots and I barely have any time to just enjoy the con itself and feel super tired. I like going to panels, looking at other people's cosplay, browsing dealers hall and AA and getting in random shenanigans. As much as I love posing and getting my picture taken I don't JUST want to do that.

Not true. People have been stating (incorrectly) that because she's taxed 33%, it puts her in the $300,000 tax bracket. But most freelance artists are taxed 33% regardless of their income. Independent artists that do things like caricature drawings and face paintings are taxed 33%. Do you think they make $300,000 a year?

This is the only reason I hate JNig. Dude, no one cares if you don't make your costumes, ADMIT IT and GIVE CREDIT where it is due.

This is the only time I've ever seen her thank ANYONE for "helping" her, and she doesn't even do them the service of dropping their name.

Who are these idiots helping her without even making sure she's not pimping out their name for their craftsmanship? What a total fame whore. Who can't even list their "friends" who help them? Does she feel threatened by their talent, or is she genuinely that obtuse?

If she wasn't making such vast amounts of money from cosplay, then I probably wouldn't care as much. But the very fact that she constantly talks about how she's making so much cash and how life is great really irks me. I'm sure other people feel the same way. Every other time i've ever said this to someone, they've called me out for being "jealous", but i'm not, I couldn't think of anything worse than having to spend so much time rushing costumes because I have to run around every single convention to keep myself relevant. She can talk all she wants about how she loves cosplay for the joy of it and that she's got so many people that look up to her, but the truth is if the financial gain disappeared tomorrow, she wouldn't be doing it.

This cosplay stuff won't be around forever. It's a niche fad and she's cornered the market in titty cosplay but she's pretty much hit the ceiling to what she can do and what her fans expect.

Majority of their fanbase are thirsty fanboys and neckbeards so in a way it makes me feel sorry for them. The fans are about as classy as a nude camgirl's fanbase.

Let's not forget that members of the HoC cast still competed with commissioned costumes and fudged it to pretend like they worked so hard on it. See: Becky's commissioned Elizabeth, Victoria's costumes all made by Jinyo, Yaya's worbla pieces being commissioned or made by her fiance, Crabcat's Dragon Age costumes that were commissioned...it wouldn't be hard for Jnig to fake making her own costumes since actual costume-making is maybe ten accumulative minutes of each episode.
I think she doesn't do HoC because she doesn't compete. She knows the costumes she makes herself are garbage and she doesn't want televised criticism of the simple designs or bad construction. Monika Lee cosplayed something sexy she didn't know shit about, and look what happened to her. She got torn apart onstage for not knowing shit about Poison Ivy. The same thing would happen to Jessica and she knows it, so it's easier to just keep doing what she's doing without volunteering to be criticized in front of both an in person and televised audience.

But you don't get it, it's not so much they're devaluing other people's work, more the fact they're devaluing our favorite characters by stooping to lowest common denominator T&A cosplays that are in no way representative of the initial ideas (of course, with exception of already scantily-clad characters...) .

It's discussed every time there's an Enji thread but you probably just scroll through it because you can't bear to tarnish the image you have of your precious cospray waifu. Enji's as much of an attention whore as any of the other "big names" of cosplay, she's just not as good at the PR side as Jessica or Yaya. Get your hand off your dick and pay attention and you'll see that Enji doesn't give a fuck about anyone she cosplays as. Why do you think she only does generic popular females like Supergirl, Yoko, and Samus? Guaranteed attention.

Speaking of yaya. Remember on HOC where she really cares about her Reputation as a cosplayer and on FB she made a rant on rather being treated like a person other than T&A? Hanging out with Jessica indeed can ruin her image as a serious cosplayer who is in it for craftmanship. If i have so many likes on facebook I wouldn't ever consider hanging out with Jessica because of her negative reputation and her deluded neckbeard fans. What yaya is doing is a dangerous move on her part since she might have fans who are oogling on her T&A rather than her work, which is something that she hates. She can hang with Nigri to get all these likes all she wants but deep down she doesn't know what she have gotten herself in to.

There's no point in bitching about coswhores as that is part of what gives them power. People who really like them would not stop doing so from anything in this thread, most don't care about cosplay anyway and just want tits while others would defend them no mater what. companies are always going to employ and sell with the ones with more tits to get out and not super accuracy.

Plus if you were doing this for fame anyway you are probably just a failed attention whore. If you do good cosplays the fandom will know and appreciate that, you shouldn't be in it for anything more

Nope.

JNig just replaced Miyu. She filled the gap when Miyu retired.

History lesson for you newfags: When JNig started cosplaying Yaya was the "queen" of the cosplay side of the convention scene because she was the most well established and most prolific cosplay guest at cons. Miyu was the reigning "queen" of the cosplay community's internet gossip scene and fanboy blog posts because of her looks. By observing who was popular at the time (around 2009) JNig figured out that what she needed to do to be successful.

Yaya's networking skills were unparalleled and Miyu's looks were unparalleled. JNig copied aspects of both of them. She overtly copied Miyu's aesthetic and Yaya's self-promotion tactics. She realized Miyu was considered the "hottest cosplayer" so to compete she needed to have abs and tone down her overly orange fake tan. JNig wasn't as attractive or fit as Miyu so she had to draw attention away from her face. She added cleavage to everything, just like Yaya had been doing.

To compete with Yaya she had to do a lot more work. It required some serious self-promotion and networking. Yaya is a shrewd business woman. She was able to make strategic alliances within the community as well as turning her crafting skills into a way to turn a profit in the dealer's room. At the time she was the first cosplayer to start selling signed prints of herself. Not only did JNig copy Yaya's methods of detracting from her face with her style of eye makeup, she also copied Yaya by getting implants. She copied Yaya's print-selling routine (and many other cosplay girls followed suit).

Tl;dr JNig simply imitated the people who came before her.

Popularity wasn't measured by likes back then, it was all about how many people within the community knew who you were and gossiped about you. Being a meme on 4chan and a cosplay guest at cons were the highest attainable points of popularity within the community at that time. Miyu, Yaya, Adella, PikminLink, Lindze, Lillyxandra, Alisa, Francesca Dani, G-chan, Lord Masamune, etc were the "most famous" cosplayers of their day. JNig came in at a very opportune time (the beginning of the facebook era) and rode the social networking wave masterfully.

>Her twitter had a whopping 16 followers before she canceled it.
I was talking about the community pre-2009. Twitter wasn't popular yet and cosplayers weren't using it as a platform for attaining popularity. The main ones were personal websites/domains, livejournal, 4chan, cosplay.com, and eventually myspace as well.

If you're cosplaying a character then, no, it's pretty obvious you're not an original concept.
She blatantly ripped her off, she could have come up with her own concept but instead took that design and tweaked it a tiny bit.

It's not like there were alternate outfits, this was a thing she could have down all on her own, maybe drawing INSPIRATION from it and the hundreds of other designs but no, she did it almost exactly and would have passed it off as her own if someone hadn't said something.

Most cosplayers don't know how to apply make up well. Lots get all their make up advice from tumblr posts and youtube videos showcasing drag queen make up techniques and the rest they take from early 90s Penthouse styling. So you got Nigri with the racoon eyes, Yaya with the tranny contouring, Lindsay with the pornstar foundation.

Raccoon eyes are the devil's mark I swear to god.

Every girl in highschool that wore them was a terrible cunt.

Talk about disgraceful to do such thing in public. If its in a drunken party then sure why not but with kids around wtf?

But hey at least we all know that Jnig sucks MLZ's dick for fame and tribute vids of herself at every con she gone to. Speaking of the pic, is Monika Lee still friends with her?

>not with kids around
this is what kids see when they turn on the tv. they've had sexuality shoved down their throats since day one. There are no tits hanging out, you're being retarded.

No kid is going to care about some cleavage unless they're a pervert.

Doesn't seem like it, all Monika has been posting about is hanging out with Riddle and Katie.
