I wasn't going to write about this, because my sis and I don't care about people who spend their time posting hateful comments about cosplayers. Though, I like to share my thoughts with you all. I've heard and seen the cosplay group I was with, The iDOLM@STER, was featured in sites where many commented negatively. To be honest I laugh and feel sorry for those commenters.

You all have probably seen it, people whine about anything like how the cosplayers look, the way they sew, the way they pose, etc... "Omg it's not perfect!" Who in this world is perfect? No one. For instance, I can't help it, but I like to make derp looks in photos XD

One of the main points they bring up on cosplayers is their looks. When I was young I was stupid. I was very critical about myself and everything that happened around me. All of that has changed though. I have a scar across my belly and I bet many girls wouldn't want that, but the scar means a lot to me. It reminds me that I was near death and the doctors saved my life. I was given a second chance. I'm short, I have abnormally big eyes, and I'm flat chested... The list can go on and on but who cares, right? I was born that way and I'm not ashamed of it. I think the people that negatively comment are insecured about themselves. Jealous they can't have big group of cosplay friends, having harsh times in their lives, bullied, they have nothing better to do, or they're still young and don't know any better.

All cosplayers all around the world come in different sizes and color! Everyone is beautiful in their own ways.

In all honesty, I would love to someday go to conventions around the world and meet new people. Seeing cosplays made from such creative people makes me happy and having fun with them at coventions/events are the moments I cherish most.

Annnd hey someone is using the photos I post here to write negative things, I can tell by the filename lol. That's okay, because I'll continue posting iDOLM@STER photos and continue to cosplay and have fun^_^ In other news, I had a great day at clinical today!

and here I thought that kind of issue only exists in my country....
I salute you for continuing the hobby and showing that cosplay need not be superficial!
I'm a fan of yours and it still shocks me to see how people can actually comment negatively about you and your group.... And I feel you. It's so hard to just keep ignoring haters when they're so persistent, it makes you wonder what you did to them in the first place... if they think it's that bad then why won't they do the work so they could impress themselves?

I think what you guys are doing is freaking awesome, some of the costume i see are out of this world ,and the haters are just fan in denial.They probably never done any Cosplay and never will ; hating is their job . While you are out there having fun with friends , they on a freaking computer posting crap. Trust me having haters is a good thing because If you don't have any haters your are doing something wrong lol.

Well Yu, it's bad to say but the world of cosplay it's full of this kind of people. They don't certainly mind what the others has passed or who the other is. They don't look yourself at the mirror because themselves are not accepted for as he is and then they do in way to be best making to feel you worsen than the others. It's a beautiful place but also a very sad place in this face. I have always been on the edge to stop making cosplay. However now i think that has been only anger of the moment. Let's know it how it goes, thing waits to whom does better than his. We also know that present not only in the cosplay but also to the university, to the job and even among friends it is this way. But what you do you only you know it. Only you know the sacrifices that you do and how much passion you put in to make in what you do. Nobody can judge that " I am not perfect". You have given better yours you have inhaled to the perfection and six reached a result that you like it. I know well as it feels it as it is also common between you among us Italian cosplayers there is a lot of this therefore to never discourage you. A great embrace. Make me know if you want to come in Italy I will do so that there is two places for you available :*

sorry for the bad english i hope that u understand as possible :)

Very well said Sister! I'm only following cosplayers a couple years now (ty/fb) :) and I've seen some ugliness online and at con's. It's sad that some want to soil the atmosphere of love and respect that drew me in (at a very late age-lol). I keep coming for people like you that help secure the future of cosplay as one of love,mutual respect and fun! Even around total strangers less than half my age,I've almost always been treated as family. No where else have I before found that :)

Oh my god I know how you are.
In arizona, it's always the same group, and sadly they end up being the group with the biggest influence in the state. The whole 'anti-homestuck' nonsense started in AZ because these guys cosplayed homestuck. Same thing happened with hetalia because they did that.

What I REALLY hate is they act SO nice to me, but attack my friends. And they KNOW I know. However, I've never been around until the aftermath, when my friends are alone crying and those creeps are nowhere to be found, so I've never been able to do much.


Well, except this year. My friend was THE AZ rose lalonde until one of these guys took her place. We'd all not care except for the fact that the girl has started harrassing my friend. It seems taking my friends spot was all she cared about, and after my friend spent three months begging, I agreed to cosplay rose and see if I can take it from this bully. I'm actually pretty confident.


I HATE those anti-american cosplays, and one of my 'friends' is part Japanese and complains about ANY cosplay done by Americans (Why should she care? She HATES cosplaying anyway -_-)

I think the imperfections of cosplayers is what makes them so interesting and wonderful. And when it's covered up in a attempt to be perfect, it takes away from that person as an individual. It's part of art to me. :) People will say what they want I guess? I get really annoyed by some people, acting like it matters what they have to say when it's negative. They are just a bunch of punks hiding behind screens, and they'd never have the guts to say that to ANYONE in real life. Don't let it spoil your girl's fun! But thank you for addressing this, as many people need to hear your stories.

Big eyes are beautifull ;)

Anyway people will always critic you, some with a real and interesting critic...
And most, just beacause they're jalousing you, or simply prefering putting the bar down...

It's easyer for some people to push the bar down, than raise their hown bar highter... -_-
