Topic: Have you ever cosplayed before?

[cata]

I consider dressing up as a character and pretend to be that same character for one day or event is cosplay. No matter where that character is from. Even if it's from your head, it's cosplay. This is my view on what is cosplaying. Now, whoever disagrees, has the right to do so.

But, when someone asks for "who cosplayed and what were you dressed up as?", you have to keep in mind that each one has their own definition of cosplay (we're talking about cosplay) so you'll find many costumes that you wouldn't really consider to be cosplay.

There are some people that don't consider cosplay if you don't change your appearance, like: someone and a character are extremely alike. And if that person cosplays of that character they don't consider cosplay because that person didn't change to look like the character.

Just to clarify, here's my position: I don't think it's correct to go up to someone and be like "You know this is a cosplay event, right? I just wanted to let you know that you don't count as cosplay". T

Like, I don't consider waterpro maipo footwear to be sneakers because they were made for long walks in camping activities, even though everyone's using them sneakers. But I'm not going to say "oh that doesn't count" if someone considers them as sneakers. Whatever suits you.

Anyways, thanks for the offer Falling but I have my own bathtub. And my own towel. xD

Sorry cata, but there I have to disagree with you.
What you mention in there is roleplaying, not cosplaying. Cosplaying is looking like the character, even if you don't act like said character.
When cosplay ad roleplay meet, that's when you have the true dedicated fan. :p

Who are you disagreeing with? That's not my opinion. I just stated some people's opinion.

And don't appologize for stating opinions. It's so stupid, like "I'm sorry for having an opinion" x'D

Oh oops, after reading everything I thought all of it was your opinion... My bad. xD

And I'm sorry for apologizing... oh snap.
