How do you feel about cosplay?

How about this?

Even went so far as to have the original armourer (Terry English) build it to the original design for the film
 
Like most things, it was great when it first began and there was no official term for it, no commercialism, no 'scene', no sub-culture, or anything like that. At it's height, it was mostly Star Wars fans dressing up as Stormtroopers, with some Jedi, Ghostbusters, Aliens and a few such others on the periphery. It was mostly adults, mostly about geek-mates getting together for a drink (OK, lots of drinks), celebrating their fanship of whatever film/series, meeting the cast and crew (who were often delighted to be involved, like the above-mentioned Terry English), and mostly just being social... mostly.

Somewhere along the line it became all about jailbait kids dressing as Japanese schoolgirls, and creepy Anime/Manga incel manchildren trying to finger them in public or at least take photos up their skirts, all with a heavy commercialist overtone from the near-monopoly of the event organisers.
 
Quick google found this.


Of course, it still attracts lots of people who dress up as a skimpy, minimal clothing character from many shows that they can choose from. Similar to Halloween, instead of dressing scary, they dress as a naughty nurse with not much clothing.
 
Funny how the guys on a computer enthusiast forum who **** themselves to sleep over unlocked multipliers are calling this weird :D.

Personally I like it when it's done well. Most of them look awful but as long as they're having fun what's the harm. I draw the line at furries and the guys dressing up as their favourite 3,000 year old girl who just sop happens to look 12 though.
