Hey, my spidersuit is on the way to my home! Finally. It will be my first cosplay.

Besides using on cons, I plan to make charity work with it. Visit hospitals, daycares, schools... my question is: should I make a Facebook page to expose my work, both in cosplaying and both in charity work?

Are you fucking kidding me right now?

I know it hasn't ALWAYS been a thing but... it's more common than ever, no? It's most likely that if you are part of a comm, you go to meets at least what, once a year?

As someone who wears it outside of meets and cons, and also to meets and cons... what is with the desire to try and out girls for being- fake? or what is it you're trying to get them on exactly?

Like what is the point of calling someone out for doing what it is fucking common place in the hobby?

I thought the conlita thing was irritating, yet true.. but meetlita feels extremist.

Do you all have your heads so far up your asses to think that in order to be a real lolita, you gotta wear it all the fucking time and never socialize?

Any cosplay or J-fashion-centric Youtube creators that you follow, admire, or find cringey?

I want to start making videos in and about cosplay on Youtube (I've technically already started) and want to see what other people find enjoyable or annoying.
