Narutards make me wanna kill babies.
« on: March 15, 2007, 12:08:21 AM »
Who actually likes it when, at a kon, there are 1000 Sasukes, 500 Narutos, (both generally cosplayed by girls) and like 100000000000000 other Naruto cosplayers.  I mean come on, Everywhere you look you see some people with there little konoha headbands that they bought on eBay, there 'ninja' shoes that they got on the spot at a vender, and whatever else they had that they either made very poorly, or just got off eBay.  There needs to be a giant pigeon at the door to every con that just lets a big poo on every crappy Narutard cosplayer.(pun intended)  The good ones can kinda be acceptable, when they made pretty much all their costume (or at least say they did, when really a mother/grandmother/girlfriend/....someone else) and when it looks good and they aren't a spaztastic 5th grader that forgot to take their meds.  Like my bro, a while back, he did Gaara, it was good, he actually spent time one it, instead of, a week before the kon thinking, "hey I can be a complete idiot and make a crappy, demeaning narutard cosplay"  I dunno if you guys think I am way off base at hating most of these lowest-of-the-low cosplayers, or if you agree to some degree.  But please, contribute to my pain with your opinion.

Sorry about the hater rant, I just needed to vent.  You know how it goes sometimes.

PS-I'll cry uncontrollably when/if Bleach enters this phase of it's popularity... T_____________T

Keep in mind every crappy cosplay out their is still a display of  someone's love of the character. Maybe they don't have very good sewing abilities. I've seen some crappy cosplays. Jeez, I've done a crappy cosplay, but I'm trying to get better. Everyone starts somewhere. Yeah, yeah, there have been cosplay trends, like InuYasha, and such, but it goes in phases. Give it a year and Naruto will be less popular.  Sure, it puts a damper to wear a costume and see a whole bunch of others wear the same outfit, but still! Come on!

 Places like Hot Topic do sell Roy Mustang gloves, Naruto jackets and headbands, and even Vash coats, but even so, at Kumoricon I saw people selling Kisuke hats in their stalls. Sometimes people need that extra detail but don't have the skills to be able to pull it off themselves, that's the same reason why they have help from their grandmothers, mothers, and girlfriends. So naturally, if you're proud of the way your costume came out or at least finally get to dress up like that character you like and get away with it, you'd wear a goofy smile. If I get my cosplay done, I'm totally going to have a goofy smile. And I'll wear that smile with pride.

Hang in there, Kisuke, it'll be over soon ;) Just take a chill pill and ride it out. Just... try not to be so harsh about the situation. There is probably a good amount of people here, especially since the majority of us (excluding bots) have gone to cons at one point in time and have probably cosplayed in the process.

I just hope those people wearing the Naruto headbands realize that that alone isn't gonna make you a Naruto coplayer.

Haa I wear a headband sometimes around my neck...But I don't exactly think I'm uber cosplayer...

I do agree there are waaaay too many Naruto cosplayers out there...there have been some decent ones out there, but not nearly enough...

I've considered cosplaying as a Naruto character, Jiraiya, but the way I want to do it is make the costume look amazing, then build a huge papier mache toad to ride on top of.  >_>' I'd rather go over the top instead of lame as hell.

I've done one crapy cosplay.. because I got lazy and didn't feel like putting the rest of the costume together.

So I basically did it to get pictures of other cosplayer from the game I was playing.

I do speak a little german, also.

wait vash coats wtf i haven't seen one damn

my feelings on narutards is that yeah they're there so what there's enough other cosplayers there the thing about cons is you can be whatever you want no matter if it's just you, you hyped on pawky, you dressed as a narutard or bleach or fullmetal alchemist or some game or anime that no one has ever heard of.

As long as you have fun and enjoy yourself than life is good, nned be ignore them focus on the kon and not those you feel sully it's name
Believe in the me, that believes in you!

Raven, thanks a lot. You're making me feel real good about my Alphonse and Martel cosplay right now XD

 And yeah, they sold vash coats about two years ago. Every once in a while Hot Topic will have something like that, but  I don't shop there a whole lot. They have cool designs on their shirts, but I think they're too expensive and too cheaply made. :/ Goodwill all the way, baby.

OH yeah, Pocky. Man, that's getting kind of old, too, but you know, I'm okay with that. I was once 15. Pocky was the stuff back then. It's like phases in which you angst or type in l337. Shrug it off and everyone will be happier. Unless you flying glomp someone's cosplay without asking. That's NEVER cool.

All good points, I guess the basic premise is to have fun with what you want to do, I just believe, if you like it that much, you should put forth some effort.  People in poor cosplay is not to great, I mean i wish they could ....mmmm...... show some respect to other cosplayers by trying.  What really gets me is when people in really bad cosplay enter the Hall or Copslay Contest.  The arrogant ones that are like "W00000000t, I am so the best cause I watched 5 episodes of naruto!"
     That is probably a little sarcastic of course, but they should figure out that people who work hard, actually deserve to win, and they do.  Anyway they should know when it's not good enough or not even close.  And I don't necessarily HATE all naruto-players, it is just the stereotypical spastic, hyper people.


     My haterness also comes from the fact that I am a martial artist, and in my curriculum is actually ninjutsu along with many many other things.  I guess I take it a little too personally when it is mocked with all the naruto stuff.  Not that I am any better, the core of my art is kenjutsu, and Bleach does a pretty good job of battering that.  I am also pretty arrogant myself, I find myself sometimes thinking about how I am so much better than all the others in cosplay, when really I am not, cause we're all in the same boat ya knows?..



PS-  And btw, I have found Bleach cosplayers to be muuuuuch more self indulged than Naruto peeps.

While I have cosplayed as Naruto in the past ( aka 2004), I can somewhat understand frustrations of seeing so many cosplayers...but really I think that you cosplay a character because you like the character. I'd hope that'd be the reason. Because of that, I don't get mad when I see tons of Naruto cosplayers, even if they are 'Narutards'. As long as they aren't arrogant, hurtful or 'in your face' (aka finding One Piece pirates and yelling about how 'ninjas can kick pirate butt') then I have no problems whatsoever. ^^

     Yea Its all about having fun, when ya go home or on the way home from the con when it hits you... I just spent $XXXX on this con... was it really worth it? did i really have fun?... if you look at all the bad points (Narutards, Long Lines, Jacked Up prices, etc...) it might not be much fun anymore and then your just wasting money you gotta look at the good stuff... Meeting new people who could be come friends (this forum and other) being able to relax around people who all share the same intrests with you. You gotta remember that even though theres alot of people there theres a whole lot more that look at anime with disgust and so alot of these people have to keep their intrests locked up until these things and thats why they're so hyper (not to mention the ammount of energy Drinks floating around). I know in me and RR's school theres about 10 of us that like anime and 300 of them that dont and make fun of us for liking it (did you know all manga is hentai?? me either but my health class thinks so.)

Secondly, I believe this year since Bleach hit CN there will be an overwhelming number of cosplayers. Might rival the Naruto clan.

Thirdly, I'm not so sure just how my cosplay will work out so i'm not saying anything about "crappy cosplayers" cause for *MOST* of them... atleast they tried and now they have some place to start. And maybe instead of ranting next time you see some "crappy cosplayers" look for someone who looks intelligant enough to listen and talk to them about what they could of done better. Try constructive Critizim instead of Rants or Swearing the cosplayer out.

Cosplay is all about the fun.  If you take it too seriously, then that is really pathetic....
It is a HOBBY!  That is all!
