Japanese hates western cosplayers

[ProudAsianGuy]

The recent issue is cosmode that have stopped featuring western cosplayers starting December 2010 due to complains from many Otaku in Japan. To anyone who don't know about cosmode, cosmode is one of the Cosplay oriented magazine in Japan and the only one who frequently featured western cosplayers on 1 - 2 of its pages on its every new release. What cosmode doing is understandable because it is a profit oriented business magazine, so rather than losing more sales it decided to do what its readers want especially when it have to compete with other Cosplay oriented magazine in Japan.

It is also understandable of what the Otaku in Japan feeled because what they feel also the same with what most other Otaku in the world feeled who don't like to see western cosplayers cosplaying Anime or other Asian based characters. This fact proven by how almost all of the Cosplay videos, Cosplay blogs, Cosplay websites and other Cosplay related media on the net are only featuring Asian cosplayers, including the one made by westerners [ not by western cosplayers ] are also almost all of it featuring Asian cosplayers.

The Otaku in Japan are the biggest and most fanatics Anime fans in the world, proven by how Maid Cafe, Harajuku, Akihabara and other Anime related place and stuff like that can exist and grow well in Japan. The existence of the term "Moeru" and "Naeru" also proves it because those 2 term are a made term by the Otaku in Japan, where "Moeru" used to refer to a cute person who look like certain Anime characters while "Naeru" used to refer to a cosplayers who not look like the Anime characters they cosplaying which 99% used against western cosplayers by the Otaku in Japan.

Well, what about anime characters that are SUPPOSED to be American, or British, or whatever else? If they disapprove of Westerners cosplaying these characters, they're just racist.

 

Now taking bets on how long it takes for this new incarnation of Asian Pride Guy to be booted off the site.

There is no racism in speaking the truth, I don't believe Japanese who hate western cosplayers because of race issue but because Japanese never see western cosplayers suited to Cosplay Anime characters do to westerners not have the right facial & body form, that is objective so no racism there.

Anime characters resemble Asians no more than they resemble whites. They don't resemble ANY real people most of the time. Japanese people actually hate western cosplayers because westerners often SUCK at cosplaying, hardly ever making high quality costumes/props, and usually are a bunch of fat retarded basement dwellers with no life (not all of them, but most of them). Just look at all the western cosplayer pictures on the internet, if you don't believe me.

I think I may have seen this guy on another forum, some time ago.
Or it could be some other guy who gets his giggles from poking the proverbial hornets nest.

@1900 Cups,

I say one and a half months. No betting required.

On Topic:

I must agree with the cosplaying. Seriously, the people really never do look like who they are cosplaying at all. Miku? Sure, give the most random person you can find a blue wig that isn't even done in ponytails with an oversized tie and tell me that's her.

Nobody rant or comment too seriously now, I think there's a definite elephant in the room...

[ProudAsianGuy]

Japanese basicly saying westerners never and will never able to look like Japanese, and surely that is not racism.

Japanese basicly saying westerners never and will never able to look like Japanese,

I thought the point of cosplaying was to have fun. Why should looking Japanese/Asian be a requirement to cosplaying?

and surely that is not racism.

Well if they can say that I can say no Japanese will ever be able to look like westerners, and surely that is not racist.

For Japanese and I'm sure the same for westerners [ even there are many westerners who denied it ] Cosplay are to look like/impersonate the characters. This is proven by how almost all Anime conventions that not only in Japan but also in western countries always held Cosplay competition or Cosplay look-alike contest.

And ofcourse it is not racist to say "Japanese will never able to look like westerners" because that is the truth.

Japanese people don't look like anime characters. They should really stop cosplaying.

You can say that only when you have more rights over Anime than Japanese.

[Jmosies]

You're so right...these asian females look so much more like Mario than this dude. I mean, who does he think he's kidding?



P.S.



Listen, Westerner, you're not fooling anybody.

I think the Japanese are just having a hard time getting used to seeing Westerners, PERIOD.
They are, after all, a fairly xenophobic/外人恐怖症 country.

I also believe no Japanese pride stuff in here because cosmode still featuring Chinese, Korean and other Asian cosplayers on it. It is just a suited and not suited issue.

Cool story bro.

[ProudAsianGuy]

Are there no one here who often lurk in Japanese based forum that make me the 1st one to post this news in here?

[animeyay]

Are you actually in Japan, or just horsing around?

Cosplay are to look like/impersonate the characters. This is proven by how almost all Anime conventions that not only in Japan but also in western countries always held Cosplay competition or Cosplay look-alike contest.

Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure?), short for "costume play",is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.Wikilink

I don't see anything in there about having similar facial features...

[ProudAsianGuy]

I don't see anything in there about having similar facial features...

Words and action always 2 very diferent things, if you really want to prove Cosplay are not to look like/impersonate the characters then prove that there is no Cosplay competition or Cosplay look alike contest especially in western countries you lived. Also why would you care so much with what Japanese said or think about western cosplayers when you keep saying Cosplay are for fun?

I find it very disgustingly ironic that many westerners would care so much and even complain about this issue when westerners themselves keep saying the reason they Cosplay are for fun and not to look like the characters they cosplaying. By caring so much with what the Japanese think about them are only showing the reason they Cosplay are not for fun but to look for attentions which can only be achieved by trying to look like the Anime characters they cosplaying, which made them as a bunch of disgusting hypocrites. Logically, when peoples doing something for fun then they will not care with what other peoples said about them, especially will not jealous then start saying all kind of nonsense about the one they are jealous of when other peoples said there are others who do better than them. I also find it very disgustingly ironic that westerners keep saying they Cosplay for fun while they keep making Cosplay competition or Cosplay look-alike contest in every Anime convention they make since 10 years ago to this day.

He sez hi.

[Skylar1]

Logically,

No!

I highly suggest you read this link before you start making "logical" arguments. Pay very close attention, as you might actually learn something

[under the rain]

Fun stuff.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was racism, though. If their attitude toward Koreans is any indication.

LOL the ASIAN Hero guy sounds like he's on an even higher dose of crack than ProudAsianGuy...
But good job digging out this information XD

[Gjallarhorn]

Hey MightASIAN, it's been a while since you've come to spam your crap here. This is your 7th account now, isn't it? Your persistence is praiseworthy.

And Japan being full of hyper-nationalists and xenophobes is nothing new; this has been common knowledge for decades. Not to mention all the basement dwelling otaku would rather stare mindlessly at 2D child porn that real women anyway.

Are you actually in Japan, or just horsing around?

He's from Indonesia (near or in Jakarta). He's just a massive weeaboo.
