Come on, dude, leave that bullshit back at the Honda forums.

So liking a certain type of car means I’m compensating? This coming from the guy with Bugatti in his username.

I love it for the Charger. I hate it for the ricers and the wrecking of the Charger. Nothing else looks quite as mean. The first film was when that car was coolest to me. The nicer paint, the bad ass American Racing CL-200 ‘Daisy’ wheels that gave it some 70s flavor, and the sound of it. Good LORD, the sound of that…

It would probably go a long way in these Cosplay posts to actually note who these people are trying to portray. I’d think it’d be pretty impossible for everyone to know every character from everything out there.

Is it that surprising, though? I’m a gamer through and through, but I’ve never played the Final Fantasy series. Not all gamers have.

I am.

Pretty stupid to even consider the Mustang in the same league as the GT-R Nismo or GT3. It’s like putting a downs syndrome kid in a class full of straight A honor roll students. You’re just setting him up for failure.

This isn't cross-posted. I am a Jalopnik writer. And this is about addresses which matter when driving in Japan. As I do.

Sorry, gotta agree with fstop on this point. Maybe she does inspire you, and that’s great. But pretty much every picture I’ve ever seen of Jessica Nigri is her showcasing her tits dressed up as a character. Practically all of her ‘cosplays’ are bikini oriented to further accentuate and sell her best asset.

Sorry, Jessica Nigri seems to me to be everything that is wrong with professional cosplay. Based on her patreon, she’s going to create a calendar with 12 themed bikini cosplays? Sending out individual signed polaroids of her in a bikini top?

I think it really comes down to two options: 1) Did you invite them? If so compensate them somehow. 2) Did they ask to come? Don’t need to compensate them.

I would hear them from artists and exhibitors selling comics in a lot of the more popular SoCal cons. Wondercon, comic con, etc.

Which is irrelevant to what I said - as mine was a response to this article, and its headline.

When it is sponsored cosplay and the “model” doesn’t even know what character she’s playing? Yeah, turn that shit down and treat it like the crap it is. He was getting calls from advertising arms of various companies, not from dedicated fan cosplayers.

Yeah, while SFCC could have turned down the solicitation better, I can understand where SFCC is coming from.

I’m 34, and just now considering my first cosplay. If you’re old, I’m ancient.

That said, yeah, it shouldn’t be a problem for upper-tier cosplayers to be hired on for cons—and if they are, they should be treated with the appropriate amount of respect generally accorded to a person being paid to appear at a gathering.

Tha…

Im fine with cons hiring cosplayers for panels and whatnot - if they want them.

Jesus, dude this sucks, I normally like the What Would You Do? show because the scenario always involves actors and, like you said, it’s the bystanders who get to make the choices.

You didn’t have a say or any choice and that was wrong of them. Totally. I’m sorry you were blindsighted and embarrassed, I would be…
