something and nothing
I'd be interested to know what in the world a cosplay group even gets drama about. I mean, really, what could they argue about? It's just dressing up as characters.
....Unless they're doing the same thing that the gaming community does, where they say things like "you're not doing it the RIGHT way" or crap like that. Or "that outfit doesnt suit you at all", I have seen that one at cons, that can get pretty nasty. I've been lucky enough to avoid that as my costumes are professionally made (be a bloody disaster if I tried to make them myself) and actually do suit me quite well according to most (considering the costumes I use, I'm never sure what to make of that, and people get a little weird about it sometimes). But even if someone is wearing an outfit and looks *nothing* like the character.... why does it matter? It aint hurting anyone, let them have their fun, dagnabit. Honestly I'll never get why people can get so insulting and mean like that. How can they expect a community to grow when they're being snotwads towards new people? Bah. That's a rant for another time though. A really, really long rant.
It's literally exactly this. People bitching that people have had their costumes made by others, rather than making them themselves, or they're store bought and not handmade. People shaming people for not having the 'correct' body type for a certain costume. People slut shaming women who choose to wear more revealing costumes. People moaning that other people's costumes are not accurate enough blah blah blah.
