Ever since Nigri, it seems like every girl feels the need to make a revealing teemo cosplay.
or that boobs = popularity in cosplay over all regardless of the quality or accuracy.

It is very sad, but I feel like having your boobs out is absolutely expected of cosplay girls anymore. Even if you have the most elaborate, beautiful costume... most people won't care unless you have boobs pushed sky high. Great craftsmanship and design have been forsaken for tits.

Nigri seems like a nice gal, but I do believe she was "patient zero" for this shit. Boobs and skimpy costumes have always been present in cosplay, but I feel her explosion onto the scene has definitely brought it to the forefront.

It just makes me sad that overly revealing, titterific costumes are now regarded as the norm, rather than the occasional eye candy treat.

>accuracy

in order to do an "accurate" teemo cosplay you need to be a furry OP
are you a fucking autist? Youre just butthurt girls more physically fit than you are showing off

Truthfully at least Jessica's had a nicely made helmet, even the rest of the costume looked 100% better than the one in OPs picture that looks fucking terrible. (mainly that bra)

Also OP...that picture is the ONLY other copier of Jessica's Teemo so far...the ONLY other teemo "cosplays" ive sen at cons is people just wearing that cloth piece of shit you can buy at hot topic or whatever. These faggots dont even have the iconic Teemo blow dart weapon with them
at least Jessica had that, I have yet to see someone at a local con have one.

What I don't get about people who do the Teemo cosplay is why they don't do any of the other LOL ladies. Like there is a bunch of characters who have their tits out that they could do and be canon. Is it just because it would be to much effort instead of putting on a bra and short shorts? Like, why not cosplay Miss Fortune instead?

Different anon, but I don't think people necessairly call costumes without tits a fail, but tits certainly help you gain a ton of followers like Nigri (and she's certainly not the only one).

As far as /cgl/ goes, I don't think people necessarily have a problem with skin showing in general, but are just tired of people doing it for characters it doesn't really make sense for. You could argue that Teemo shows a lot of skin, but as a male, is Teemo portrayed as sexy for doing so? No, if you're doing a gijinka or genderbend, why do you have to have your tits out in nothing but a bra, or just featuring unnecessary cleavage in your photos? It would be nice if people were thoughtful about the choices they make for these types of costumes, rather then just trying to take the easy route for attention by showing off their tits.

Occam's Razor
They are most likely choosing Teemo because it's a simple costume that they can do with some mittens and a fucking bra, not because they love the character with so much passion and sincerity, that they thought that the best way to represent the character was by making a lazy slut version of his design.

There's also a very high chance that they don't know shit about LoL or its 100+ characters and just decided to pick the fucking cute mascot character because Nigri and other whores did it.

This.
I don't like the article posted because it's just a rehash of "fake nerd girl", BUT I do think the OP of the thread has a point. Popular cosplayers like JNig have an impact on the community, because they are cosplayer and people figure if they follow their path to success they can become a popular cosplayer, too. Even though people in the community will always appreciate well constructed, accurate, and epic costumes, it doesn't necessarily attract the most followers. If someone can name 5 popular female cosplayers (say someone with 10,000+ likes or followers) who achieved that level of notoriety with out using their T&A or sex appeal to get there, I would be shocked. The problem is NOT that people do this, ladies should be able to cosplay sexy things if they want, it's just that it seems to be the only way a female cosplayer can receive that level of recognition. If there was more diversity, it wouldn't be an issue.

I do believe we're putting too much blame on the cosplayers as they are doing what's best for them financially and gaining status. The market is showing that there is a demand for sexy cosplayers. If people didn't respond so strongly in favor of them the trend would have died out and really these girls are just giving the people what they want and laughing themselves to the bank in the process.

I'm referring to females because of OP's point that boobs = popularity.

I agree that the ladies that choose to focus on sexy cosplay do catch a ton of flack when it makes sense for what they are trying to achieve. They attract a lot of mainstream folk who can appreciate their aesthetics without giving a crap about the craftsmanship or accuracy of their costumes or even if they made their costumes or not. Many of those cosplayers do care about those things, but that's not necessarily why all those people are liking their pages and photos. All of that is stuff the cosplay community cares about, not what the general public is concerned with. It reflects on our society's tastes, not the ladies that choose to take advantage of what they know will go over big with folks.

I don't know, it really just depends on what you want out of cosplay. I think it's harder to make a name for yourself if you focus purely on craftsmanship because there are a lot of people doing a lot of amazing things right now, plus it's just not as celebrated among people who are outside of the community.

>I don't know, it really just depends on what you want out of cosplay.

I think what's really interesting is how cosplayers that were bigger hits around 2004-8 are now being really vocal over disappointment with people making money off of "prints" or page likes attributed just to sex appeal.

For me, these were people who spearheaded the "Cosplay is for fun" movement and now that they don't feel like their slice of appreciation is as it should be, become clearly disheartened. And really, it's just because they don't feel their getting the attention they deserve.

So it all comes back to getting attention, and being honest about why you're participating in the hobby. So for me, the ugly side of "T&A" cosplay becoming more accessible, isn't the girls doing it, it's the hobby's former noble cheerleaders who can't deal with the fact that they're not the "chosen ones".

>morally

It isn't about morals, it's about logic. Getting worked up over stupid shit isn't going to change anything.

>self righteous

Again, not about morals.

>Mexican

wut? I thought it was blacks that lust after big asses.

>lecture

Oh boy, guys, I gave the shortest lecture known to man. That less than one paragraph lecture must've been a little too harsh for you, huh, sweetie?

Alright, let me dumb it down for you. You're getting worked up over stupid shit you can't change, when something you can change (your own craft) is right in front of your nose.

No, go ahead. Go ahead and whine about how someone is being reasonable on 4chan. I'm waiting. This should be funny.

Yes it is. You think you're better than everyone for having better morals(not getting buttrustled over it). You go ahead and blindeye the parts you don't want to see to make yourself feel better though :3

Well, yeah, that's the only thing(s) most female cosplayers have going for them. If I want to see talent, I'll go to a male cosplayer.
