What not to say to a cosplayer

With comic con season in full swing, the Food and Cosplay team have got together to discuss topics about how we wish to strive and better the cosplay community. One thing that we can all agree needs to be addressed is the level of respect shown to cosplayers. In today’s post, we are talking about what you shouldn’t say to a cosplayer.

  1. Where is your prop?

    Not everyone has the time, money or need to have all or any of the props for a costume! Only you can decide how much you want to put into your cosplay and how you want to wear it.

  2. That’s the wrong colour

    Whether you put your own spin on it or can’t quite get it exact, you’ve still done it to the best of your ability.

  3. Did you buy that?

    It doesn’t matter if you bought it or made it, you’re still showing your love for the character and that’s what really matters.

  4. I don’t know this version?

    Doesn’t make it any less valid if people don’t instantly recognise it, you know it!

  5. That’s the wrong hairstyle for that character

    Regardless if it a wig or natural hair, styling a hair to the exact style is hard, just like cosplay. It’s not a failing if they can’t get the exact same look.

Here is a video by AnyaPanda titled “5 Things Cosplayers Don’t Want to Hear” which covers some of the things we spoke and more.

Jollibee from Jollibee (fast food restaurant) / Cosplayer : ADRI.NYAN / Photo: climacam People kept asking if there was real food in the bucket/peach mango pie container! I told them “No, don’t you think it’d be soggy by now?” I feel like as a Filipino it’s a little bit sacrilegious to eat soggy Jollibee. It’s best to eat it as fresh as possible. Other reactions I got were hilarious, but I especially liked hearing “I have to show my mom/family”. I think seeing Filipinos thrive and enjoy the representation in this silly costume I did is inspiring for me. If anybody reading this hasn’t yet, please try out Jollibee if you’re close to one. If not the chicken then at least the peach mango pie. It’s delightful. I actually found a video from a doll makeover YouTuber named Hextian, who is also Filipino. He made a Jollibee doll and I actually said to my friends I wanted to cosplay her. That was around 2019. I’ve been ruminating on the idea for three and a half years. But at the time, I was still in college with no money and no means of creating something like that. Flash forward to 2022, when planning for Katsucon 2023, I was thinking about what to do in terms of a cosplay for Katsucon. That’s when I said, “Okay, Jollibee cosplays are really rare, especially SEXY Jollibee, why don’t I just try doing it?” My older cousins got me into anime and they used to go to Otakon back in the day. I remember begging my mom to let me go and eventually I was allowed to in 2012. That’s when my oldest kuya (male cousin in Tagalog) asked me “Who will you be cosplaying?” And I said, “Oh, is it required?” He said, “No, but it’s a lot of fun. You should try it out.” So I debated and finally caved in after looking at so many pictures online. I was 14 years old when I got my dad to buy my first cosplay as a birthday gift and it was Maka from Soul Eater. I was hooked since then!

Astro Boy : molotovbailey All the responses were great but this one older guy on the Hyatt sky bridge totally flipped out, Jumping around and Yelling that he ​ had been watching Astroboy for 50 years ! BEST RESPONSE ! He totally made my day. I have a always loved all the inside Robot parts of Astro. I used to be obsessed with those lenticular T-shirts that showed the inside parts of him. So I really wanted to do a costume that showed the insides.I have been thinking about how I would do that for about 10 years. I’ve always enjoyed dressing up in costumes for parties and Halloween. I first heard of Dragon con in 2004 when my Housemate went and came back with all these Amazing stories. My favourite part is designing and building the costume. I really enjoy the problem solving aspect. As an artist I feel wearable ART is a great way to display your work and interact with other artists. It also allows you to meet new people with similar interests. Disclaimer: All images and videos used, do not belong to FnC and belong to their respective owners.

“I think you should have won” when taking or asking for a photo regarding a masquerade result, especially when the winner/people who placed higher are in earshot.
First off, if you absolutely must say this, don’t do it where the winner can hear! Imagine how they feel hearing that!
Secondly, even if I did agree – which 99% of the time I don’t because I’ve seen those cosplays up close (I’m usually amazed I’ve been placed at all frankly) – admitting that, especially in front of those people, makes me an asshole. It also belittles those cosplays and the work done on them just for the sake of artificially “elevating” mine. It’s happened a few times to me now, and it’s become a real bug bear of mine, please stop!
Just say “I really like your cosplay” and move on, you don’t need to comment on the placings to pander to me or something so you can get a photo.
