This was brought up in a group I’m in and I wanted to share it here. They were talking about how they dislike seeing posts like “what cosplay are you tired of seeing” because posts like that are just rude and… yeah, they’re absolutely right.

I feel like it kind of defeats the purpose of cosplay to hate on it for any reason, whether it’s “you’re to (this) to cosplay (that)” or “omg I’m so tired of seeing this cosplay.” Everything that’s popular gets cosplayed, it’s people showing love for the things they like, that’s just a part of it. It changes all the time, it changes as things get popular. 

I mean years ago it was Death Note and Naruto. Years ago we were flooded with blue ninja headbands and people in white tank tops and jeans who sat in chairs funny and wore dark eyeliner to be L. It was everywhere. You couldn’t go to a con without seeing it. There were giant ninja photoshoots that took up entire hotel lobbies. Now it’s Frozen and Attack on Titan and Free and Homestuck. That’s just what happens. It’ll change again, it always does, there’s no point in hating on it. We’re dressing up as fictional characters, just go out there and have fun. Why waste time being concerned about how many Elsas there are when you could, you know, have fun in your own cosplay?
