Rice? Pudding? :O <br /><br />>'hey, that's a dude!' and 'dude, don't be flashing your armpits like that!'<br />what the, who says that? Unless they're hairy, but girls have hairy armpits too! <br /><br />>Get a guy who looks more on the feminine side, give him a dress, and you get a convincing (or at least passable) crossplaying, yes? So I thought - until I'm reminded that there are other items such as makeup, specialized clothes, facial expressions, and gestures to be considered about. <br />A lot of anime/manga/fanfic/whatever tend to think that way. Even if there are effeminate guys, they still have a sort of bone structure/shape that can still be recognizably male. <br /><br />I remember there was a very, very good Finnish Reimu cosplayer and everyone thought he was a girl.<br /><br />It's too bad that it's completely normal for a girl to crossplay as a guy but the opposite is both more rare and a big deal, with the whole "OMGGG TRAP" attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-91510633753930922402011-09-06T13:43:41.605+08:002011-09-06T13:43:41.605+08:00@Link: Yeah, unfortunately I guess it's one of...@Link: Yeah, unfortunately I guess it's one of those double standard that some people talk about.Faiz Faultshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257410895793827080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-27266772903739761462011-09-06T06:43:11.124+08:002011-09-06T06:43:11.124+08:00I've never been interested in cosplaying, cros...I've never been interested in cosplaying, crossplaying and such, and don't really have any opinions on it. I'm fine with it as long it's not awful.<br /><br />I also have to agree on what Cpt.Awesome said.

FUCK Y...@exaltdragon: Well, what can I say to that? FUCK YEAH<br /><br />@ojousama: Well said there. The propogated culture example there is quite true, although honestly I haven't known anyone that I know having that view. <br /><br />I neither disagree nor agree with the last point there (haven't seen too much Byakuren cosplay at the moment... so yea).<br /><br />@Cpt: Yeah, pretty much. Traps? Sure, go ahead. Bad crossplay? I'll pass, thanks.<br /><br />@serenity: You know, a fellow cosplayer also said the same thing in response to the topic. I think it's pretty well accepted among con goers in generals. Whereas for outside the circle...<br /><br />I have no problem with the pretty crossplayer/traps, even if I only find out about it much later (with reaction ranging between sanae and nitori up there, heheh).<br /><br />@Nevah: Yup, even if they did a s0-so work at that, I'll still give them some marks for effort. But yeap, like you said, I salute them good crossplayers too.<br /><br />Aha, you get the point eh? I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the picture and thought, now this is something...<br /><br />And yes, I know right? :3Faiz Faultshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257410895793827080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-74843168224083658672011-09-05T00:57:15.531+08:002011-09-05T00:57:15.531+08:00I agree with Ojousama's comments.

Good on them for having the courage and self-confidence. I salute you, good crossplayers.<br /><br />>Most probably a coincidence, but doesn't the pose remind you of a certain overused fad off the 'net?<br /><br />Yes, and if I'm correct in guessing the one you're implying, then how fitting/adequate as a concluding statement to this post.<br /><br />Hrrrrng, nonomy is too cute!Nevahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958318260860482376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-88832612748054153042011-09-04T09:48:30.692+08:002011-09-04T09:48:30.692+08:00I don't see a problem with guys wanting to cro...I don't see a problem with guys wanting to crossplay. In fact, I don't really see it as much different to regular cosplay, since the vast majority of anime characters, and especially the most popular ones, are female. There are some really awful looking crossplays, but there are some awful looking cosplays in general, so I wouldn't attribute the problem to guys dressing up as girls.<br /><br />I think a lot of the negative reaction to particularly good crossplays is an overcompensation. A guy thinks she looks good, she turns out to be a he, the guy now tries to divert all attention from the fact that he found it attractive. Unnecessary, but that's the way many people's minds work.serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049848490276194092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-89177696886227853022011-09-04T07:43:54.091+08:002011-09-04T07:43:54.091+08:00I don't have a problem with crossplaying unles...I don't have a problem with crossplaying unless it turns out like something like that Koakuma. If the end result is something cute or pretty then I don't see the problem. I mean, you're appreciating the beauty, right? Just because a guy thinks another guy is cute or pretty doesn't mean they want to engage in sodomy with the other person. But I guess that's what people with a normal mindset would believe. It's stupid that normals don't apply this logic when a girl finds another girl cute. It's the same scenario, but this is considered okay for some reason. It's a shame that people think this way.<br /><br />Oh well, it can't be helped. I like treating it as a guessing game and I'm okay with whatever the answer may be.Cpt.Awesomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444998398465548084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-35053582550646270732011-09-04T02:53:18.653+08:002011-09-04T02:53:18.653+08:00There are always going to be people that think the...There are always going to be people that think they should pester others just to make sure they're not doing anything bad, when their own suspicions come from ignorance. I think that's mostly the cause of the discrimination you've noted.<br /><br />>OMFG IT A TRAP!! XDXD xD DAT IS A DUDE OMG YOU GAYS! ROFLCOPTER TRAP TRAP XD XD XD<br /><br />I see this as an instance of 4chan propagating culture across the web, and turning pretty stupid. It's like associating lolcats with every single cat you ever see.<br />People seem to be quickly confused into thinking that someone that dresses as the opposite gender is trying to fool them, and usually fool them specifically. I think people should be treated in the way they present themselves, because they really don't owe strangers anything.<br /><br />Ultimately I think that if you get really worked up about someone that dresses in a way that you find attractive, to the point you possibly entertained a brief fantasy, only to find out they weren't exactly what you thought they were... -gasp- If that is the case then I think maybe you really like them. If you lash out at them, call them names, or marginalize them, then you are probably just embarrassed and trying to hide your feelings from society.<br />The worst part is that now they will rightfully hate your guts, and you probably ruined your chance at finding love or friendship forever and ever.<br /><br />>Have a nonomy<br />I really think she makes a much cuter Byakuren than most girls. If people really prefer some walrus faced pig that doesn't make an effort and is generally a huge slob, well... That's their prerogative.librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690619052486454934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-32416567184849430302011-09-04T02:00:50.528+08:002011-09-04T02:00:50.528+08:00FUCK YEAH NONOMY!FUCK YEAH NONOMY!exalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157682931434002143noreply@blogger.com
