A just ruler amongst tyrants

I will never use those quaint little shortening of words to describe something. It's dressing up. I will never and have never 'cosplayed'

well, as cosplay is related to anime costumes i had never done cosplay and will probably never do it as well, but i did put on costumes not related to anime/manga. Like in elementary school plays, and stuff (even crossdressed for a crossdressing contest on a school festival öÔ, sorry but no pictures were taken 😀 )

This week's favorites:

• Golden Kamui

Have never. Might not ever.
Though, I will during Halloween.
Usually not, anime related during Halloween because that's hard.

I win again! My suggestions rule! lol

As for actual cosplaying, I think I already live in a world of delusion, if i cosplayed the lines between reality and my imagination will be blurred even more.

I've never cosplayed as a manga, anime, or game character but I wouldn't mind doing it once if I went to a convention.

I've never cosplayed but i think i may use a produced costume on a costume party, so where's my option?

No. I refuse to make myself look ridiculous. If I ever cosplay, I shall flush my pride down the toilet.

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Agreed

Hmm, so I've never dressed up myself, but I've designed and made costumes for others. Does that count?

Game/manga/anime character costumes, that is.

I'm actually amazed 😲 that a lot of people here have never cosplayed. I guess, I was under the impression that cosplay came as a package with enjoying manga and/or anime. My bad, haha.. I've cosplayed several times so far and it can be quite enjoyable. Especially when you get to show other people your hardwork and they appreciate it as much as you do. Well, this is just one otaku's opinion.

But I should say, it is kinda disgusting when a full grown male with h**ry legs cosplays as Sailormoon or wears a sailor school uniform 🤢
I get more and more traumatized whenever I see one at a convention 😔

Good cosplay

Substitute cosplay for dress up.

I haven't yet but I've been thinking of doing it and my friend convinced me to try it at the next convention I go to.
