Hey gulls.

Long time lurker but I haven't ever posted much.

Long story short, I really want to get into cosplay, I've learned a lot about sewing and prop making from the threads and guides on here, but I fear because of my past (sex worker), you guys would judge me severely if it ever came up.

I used to do camwork and my ex leaked all my personal details along with pics onto the web a year ago or so. It's all still there if you google for me and I'm terrified of actually making friends for this reason. What happens when they eventually find out?

People won't care about your past if you don't bring it up and show your talents. People only use it on people they hate, just be kind, respectful, and talented and not many people will care about your past! I wish you luck

One girl found out in the past and basically prohibited me from talking to her boyfriend or her ever again. Especially her boyfriend.

>> No.8554886

Some shitheads might judge you if it ever came up, but this board and the cosplay community can be pretty liberal when it comes to that stuff. There's no shame in sex work, and like the above anons said, if you're honest about it if it ever does come up, there's no ammo against you. Just be a nice and respectful person to others, and you'll make friends regardless of your past. Also, I believe Google is a lot better about working with people to get their information off search results, if you're ever interested in that, especially when it comes to revenge stuff like in your case.

Forgot to add, it's also really common now to use fake names on Facebook in cosplay now, to avoid employers finding out about our weirdo hobbies, so if using a different last name or a nickname would prevent possible new friends from searching you, consider that!

And people hate on cosplayers out of jealousy. So there really isn't much to be done, sorry OP.
Best you can do is as they said, be a kind person, don't let people suck you into their drama and own up to it if people ask in person, and then politely remind them that it isn't any of their fucking business. With a smile of course. Because really, it isn't anyone's business and if others spread it that is due to their problems not yours.

Nobody will care if you used to be a hooker. The only time that matters is when hookers/pornstars USE the cosplay/anime/fan community to gain attention, fame, or money. Nobody likes being manipulated.

If you're just a person who likes cosplay who happens to have been a hooker, that is fine. If you're a hooker looking to use cosplay as a means to further your career then you will not be well-received.

yup.
That's pretty much the limelight in cosplay now. Not fandom, not creativity, not workmanship.

Just sex. Gotta be hot to be invited to cons, on TV, interviewed by normal magazines, ect.

Don't gotta watch the show, just say you like the design.
Don't have to play the game, just say you feel the character is just like you.
Don't have to make your cosplay, just say cosplay isn't about that and it will make it true.
Don't have to earn the money to have other people make your cosplay. Just say help me make it and people will turn over the money they make just so you can look good.

On the off chance that this is real and not just some idiot's bedroom fantasy...

Unless you get really good and 'cosfamous' no-one's going to google you. If you did your camwork under your real name, change your name. Cosplayers have online handles; people will refer to you and search you by this. If you've not done cosplay before, you won't be good enough yet for cgl or anyone else to bother with you.

TLDR: No-one will care enough to find out, and if you're worried you should have changed your name already, even just for potential employers.

Everyones got their own shit to deal with.

I wouldn't let something, you know, actually pretty minor like doing cam shows, or even porn effect you doing something you like.

Its only a stain on your past if you want it to be. You can be ashamed of it, or you can just view it as what it was, which is work.

I'm male, but I've had conversations with female friends and my mom and its honestly not that big of a deal. My mom knew girls in college who basically did escort services, and porno flicks to pay for it (Mom told me she considered doing it, even though Grandpa was paying because the money was so good and she wanted a new car). I have a few friends that do it as supplementary income, and most of them are fairly conservative and not the sexual deviants the common man would have you believe cam-girls are.

Fact is, if you're an attractive woman you may as well exploit your looks for money from men.

Camming is way safer then being an escort for girls, and you probably make just as much money. The only issue is your online record and shit, but like I said earlier, you can let it be a stain, or you can let it just be something you did.

Basically, dress up in costumes and pretty dresses if it makes you happy.

Not even white knightin' here.

Different anon and I'd never do sex work, but honestly, my dad would probably be considerably less ashamed of me if I were making hundreds a night as a stripper to pay for college than if I were a NEET or working some minimum wage fast food job for the rest of my life. This might shock you, but many fathers really don't die inside the moment they realize their child is a sexual being. And why is it always "show your father" and not your mother or both parents?

Also, in the hypothetical that a person's father looks at porn, goes to strip clubs, etc., they officially forfeit any right to be ashamed of their daughter for doing sex work, as that would just make them massive hypocrites. Which you probably are, since I highly doubt you don't look at porn, yet here you are wishing death upon someone for doing work you most likely consume.

My biggest fear as a father is that my 2 year old baby girl will grow up into a fucking slut.

>> No.8555536

Since it's already leaked, it won't be as huge of a deal when it comes out. The only people who will care are the /r9k/-esque beta faggots who think of women's sexuality the same way Evangelical Christians do. Honestly, if anything, it will just get you more fans. They'd be the same kind of fans as JNig, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but it's better than what you're probably fearing.

When it gets out (I say when instead of if, because if you get a name for yourself, it most certainly will) just be chill about the whole thing. If you react emotionally or get super defensive, you're way more likely to get a lot of shit for it. Unless everyone hates you for reasons outside of sex work, no one is going to care that much about it if you handle it decently. Nudes are only real drama if the person is a lolcow or on a super high horse.

So, you're more afraid of her growing up to enjoy casual sex than you are of her being raped, developing a serious mental/emotional disorder, becoming addicted to a dangerous substance, self-harming, becoming crippled in an accident, being kidnapped, getting cancer or some other terminal illness, or dying?

I'm just saying, there's way scarier things that can happen to your child than her becoming a slut.
