I was surfing at sgcafe/sgclub and I stumbled up upon something that intrigues me... Cosfucking... Now what is it? I disagree with ALOT of definitions, but this one seems to get my full support...
http://scrumptious.animeblogger.net/tag/cosfuck/Cosfuck, as the name implies, refers to “cosplays that are f*cked up”, a term which reeks of elitism in and of itself. By referring to a cosplay as “cosfuck”, the elitist sends out this [hidden/overt] message to the cosplayer: “Your cosplay SUCKS, F*ck Off. Go Die/Pack Up your Bag and Don’t Ever Venture Into Cosplaying. Ever. Again”, placing himself/herself into this high judiciary pedestal, as though he/she was given the right by the heavens to proclaim what’s a good and bad cosplay, what’s fail and what’s not, or which certain demograph (of people endowed with great physique / features) is only entitled to the “right to cosplay”. Sounds like a cool thing to do huh? Not when it goes out of bounds, like flaming cosplayers in the public domain.
Generally, cosfuck means 'your cosplay is bad, go and die!'. Right thing to do? Well, there is this rule in peaceful Singapore, don't so kay poh! Who cares if they look bad? Hey, you have no right to say this particular person does not have the right to cosplay, mean person!
I've seen some cosplayers who don't look as good as others, but hey who are you to say "fuck off coz you look bad!!!"? If they wanna cosplay, it's their right to. Cosplaying doesn't mean you HAVE to look exactly like the character! If you like the character, then go for it! That's what cosplaying is all about. Don't cosplay just because you look like the character =.=
I did that mistake, to cosplay only who I look like. But that's not cosplaying. People who blame others for cosplaying are the ones who should go and die!!!!! And I did talk bad about this lady who's 30+/40+ and is cosplaying as haruhi suzumiya, but I realised it's her life. Who am I to say she sucks?
As if I am a prodigy at everything!
