Yeah, the "Why do people hate Naruto cosplayers" was just an example question-- I myself don't hate Naruto cosplayers, I hate Narutards. Big difference >.< Those kids who run around screaming how they wanna be the next hokage make me want to spay and neuder them so they can't pass their demented genes onto their offspring.
I think the reason people "hate" them is because most of the time they're half-assed cosplays. I mean, it's become so popular that you can buy the outfits on pretty much any cosplay website known to man and that's all they do-- buy the cosplay, slap it on, and think they look amazing. Especially with Organization members: they put on the cloak and then it's like "******** the rest!" They don't try to style their wigs, get props, or anything like that. They just walk around in their cloaks and yaoi-ing for any demented fangirl that asks.
Maybe if they made their cosplays and actually look like they tried to look good, people would like them more. And if there weren't so many of them-- We don't need 20 half-assed Axels running around the convention, kthnxbai.
I'm not gonna lie, I plan on cosplaying Kingdom Hearts, but I'm actually trying to do a good job at it. The convention is during Easter weekend, so I'm going to make an Eastertown-themed Sora cosplay complete with Easter keyblade (and bunny ears, tail, and feet X3 )
It's the same with pretty much any cosplay though-- At least try to look good and be creative!
But yeah, that's what I think/noticed and as always, there are exceptions to these comments.

1. Naruto- Really, the show/manga is overrated. It is too long, too drawn oiut, and is not worth the hype the 12 year olds want you to think. So, why would I want to see 100 ugly orange suited kids around? It is not original, rarely done well, and is tiring.
2. Yaoi- Well, it isnt all girls. But, just liek a lot of guys like lesbians, or two girls making out, it is the same thing but with 2 guys. It is a lot of the forbidden love thing that people seem to love that gays have.
3. Cosplays- Ignorance, lack of time? I dont know, but what would be has assed? If I dont have the right hair for something? Well, what if I dont want to buy a wig and I dont want to ruin my hair putting it all up like that?
4.Family- Well, I went as hell girl, which had a short skirt, my mom thought it was too short. Now I am going one day is mcgee alice which is a LONG dress, and my mom was, dont you want something more mature? So I was too slutty one year, and this year I am not slutty enough. In general, cosplaying is just weird.
5. Well, at AN there was a bunch of that kind of stuff. But some of that was more gothy. Most people would rather cosplay as a character than as a Jrock person.
6. They are more recent. N and DN are this gens stuff, while DB and SM are the older gens stuff. I was like 3-5 when DB and SM was on, so all of those people who would have dressed up as them when they were 13-18 are now much older. Probably moved on or dress up as somethig else. But those two are only a few years old, very much this generations anime.
7. Glomping- I have never been glomped by a stranger. Only people I know. Maybe I am just too weird. But, people get hyper, and silly. So, the brain doesnt work properly. That and the lack of etiquette that we have now a days leads to that.
8.I dont hate Kingdom heart cosplays, I just find it inconvient. The swords are kinda annoying to drag around IMO.

Hehehehe, guys you don't have to answer the questions posted in the introduction-- They're just examples X3
As for why people make like 10 costumes. . . Well, I'm guessing they have some sort of cosplay A.D.D. and can't just keep it between 1-3 cosplays. Then because lack of time/money/etc. they don't finish and they think it's fine to wear it anyways. Or they just half a** it from the beginning and think it looks "good enough."
Personally, I'd rather have one cosplay that is perfect than 5 that are half-assed. Quality over quantity, people!
Alright, another question-- Why do people go to cons planning on "hooking up" with someone, or go to cons just to "hook up" with someone?
These people annoy me so much-- Why an anime convention of all places?! No, I don't want to s*** your d***, no I don't want to come up to your room later... You wouldn't ask that of someone in a normal setting, would you?! Conventions aren't meant to be dating sites (though I'm not saying that you can't find someone you're attracted to there or whatever) so why do people treat it as such? Meet new people and make friends sure, but don't go there to get laid! D:<

Thank heavens someone else is willing to ask that question, considering I've seen those sort of pushy males showing up more and more often at the cons looking for one of them cosplay "Penthouse Forum" moments where they did it with a sailor scout in costume or got entangled in some sort of demented Final Fantasy orgy. Seriously, it's not realistic, folks. If you're jonesing so bad, the dealer rooms have hentai mags and DVDs you can buy. Just make sure no one's looking.
And this comes to rise a more pertinent question. I'm turning 30 in the next few days, which sort of puts me at another delicate impassee where I should be finding more things to do at a con rather than ogle cosplayers way under the legal limit. And it doesn't help if you are old like me AND bring a camera. Kinda makes you feel like the con staff is tracking you and making sure you're not one of them predators. Good thing that there are others in my age bracket who are attuning to that and adapting their creative skills to creating panels and such. |

"Why do people half-a** cosplays?"
I've seen a few different reasons. There are people who are too lazy to do things right, seeing as they know they can get the costume online (note: those sites are not always trustworthy and it can be less money to make the outfit sometimes). They don't have enough time. Or, they actually can't sew very well.
Because of the latter, people at my school have requested for my help in making costumes. I feel special.
salsababy2889 "How come there are so many Death Note and Naruto cosplays, when Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon are just as popular?"
I've noted that went it comes to amounts that it often depends on 1) how new it is and 2) What's on TV.
For example, when I first started going to cons, there were a lot of Trigun cosplayers. Now, since Trigun's been off the air for a while, you don't see very many anymore. Each year tends to have a specific show theme to it. Since Bleach, Death Note, and Naruto are still on the air, there will be a lot of them, but there's been a resurgence in the older animes like DBZ because of DB Kai and Salior Moon (don't the reason on that one). So, it's going to be difficult to identify what'll be the theme this year. |

Lol, I love how I make this thread for other people to ask questions, yet so far I'm the one that's asked the most XP
Anyways, this one isn't meant to offend anyone if they do this, but I just have to ask-- why do some cosplayers [mostly girls] carry around plushies of other characters from the show they're cosplaying from? To be honest, I just think it's stupid-- Unless you're carrying around a plushie of some type of creature (like a Moogle or one of those soot balls from Spirited away) I don't think you should carry around plushies as part of your cosplay. Like if Kairi was carrying around a Sora plushie or if Tohru Honda was carrying around a Yuki plushie or if Inuyasha is carrying around a Sesshoumaru plushie. . . Like that kind of stuff. It's like, what's the point? If you wanted to have a Sora or Yuki or Sesshoumaru with you, you should have made a friend or someone dress up with you, not try to replace then with a 10'' cotton replica. Or is it that they're cosplay is so badly done that they need to carry around a plushie so people can help identify who they are? [[Hmmmn, she looks like she just stumbled out of HotTopic and her pigtails are lopsided. . . Oh, she's carrying Light and L plushies, she is probably cosplaying MisaMisa]] >3>

he half smiles as if to say...
I think there might be a few reasons why someone might do this.
Maybe they feel that their character is/should be at all times completely attached to the character. This would be hard to pull off even if you had a friend cosplaying (wanting to go to different events, bathroom breaks for opposite genders). It may be that none of the person's friends even wanted to cosplay the other in the first place, or maybe they're going with a family and can't have a friend come. Either way, the plushie could be a symbol of that extreme attachment.
Maybe they just think it's cute? I find plushies to be adorable and could definitely imagine certain characters having a plushie of their significant other that they hug from time to time.
Those are really the only reasons I can think of that have nothing to do with the cosplay itself. I could totally imagine other reasons to go with the cosplay, such as a Tohru having a cat Kyo and mouse Yuki and hugging them, as if they had just transformed. That would be justifiable to go with the outfit, I think.
