Cosfail! What?

It’s amazing the kind of stuff you can read online nowadays. 4chan’s /cgl/ is an example of  a cosplay cesspool, FranDan/Yaya/Alodia get all the hate. Then there’s the whole Otacool 2 thing. But just when you thought things were getting quiet! We have our own “local” heroes(when I say local I actually mean somewhere down south. Singapore seceded on the 9th of August 1965 from the Federation of Malaysia).

But we too have more ‘local’ flavours of rage and disgust. So much so that a new thread sprang up in a local event forum, Comic Fiesta. As a mod, I will refrain, which I try to do most of the time, by trying to offer a not too biased opinion. But this is no bias, just pure DRAMA involved.

First off, our *ahem* fellow cosplayers and whatnot from Singapore(‘our’ doesn’t apply to me as I don’t cosplay, oops!).

Ugry Cosprays(note the condescending thread title. Sounds like a Japanese citizen trying to speaku Ingerishu)

Cosplay Hall of Shame

Now if you’ve had the chance to read a previous article I wrote on my experiences at MCM Expo London you’ll soon figure out that I too, am certainly, MOST DEFINITELY biased against bad cosplay. However, as I understand it(in the UK), quality isn’t so much of a factor but it’s the fun factor that counts most. Still, you wouldn’t want to mindfuck yourself too much, would you?

So along came a spider friend, Zend, who created this thread in ComicFiesta forums to ‘address’ the issue of veterans, newbies, cosplay policy etc etc. However, thread soon garners HUGE attention. Someone’s post in said thread then spills over onto Facebook. Someone called ReiRobin, apparently, is at the heart of the problem. And it’s all the way in East Malaysia! WOW!

Now forgive me for saying, but where do these people all find the energy(by people I mean the ones trolling, getting trolled and flaming each other till the ashes turn to dust, not the ones with good intentions), AND time… to stir the shit-pot? Not that it’s a crime. But it’s most certainly lulz-worthy.

I don’t even know why I’m making this a blog post either, to be honest. But one thing I’m sure off, DEFINITELY, MOST AWESOMELY… KILLING ME LAUGHING!
