The inside look on Cosplayers
You know there are some cosplayers that dress good, but there are many out there I have seen that are terrible and disturbing. For one thing I see very fat male otakus dress as girl anime characters that really disturb me ~_~; ugh... Why the heck do they do that? Don't they have any dignity or shame? They also sometime do it in groups or pairs with male charaters that seem very yaoi @_@. Then they put there cosplay pics in the internet, like they never had embarassment before.
From what I have seen from American's who cosplay as anime character's they are very bad at it. They don't really look that great. Japanese cosplayers look much more beautiful and cool compared to there American counterparts.
This is my opinion of course. If you want to defend American cosplayers then bring a very good looking Cosplay picture, no nudity of course, male or female.
