    dont see why she needed to show off her midriff and push her tits up like that.

    I think it is involved with having quite the midriff to show off.

    This reddit comment sums it up well enough for me
    While I feel that women do not deserve to be shamed for their bodies or for flaunting their bodies or owning and profiting from their own security in their sexuality, I do feel like cutting away parts of a costume to expose cleavage and/or midriff ruins the costume that a wearer is recreating. There are sexy costumes and sexy and empowered characters to recreate, but it just comes off as disingenuous to take a character and transform it into the "sexy" version.

    I am a female cosplayer. I have cosplayed a female AC3 character with great success and was covered from neck to ankle. I have cosplayed scantily clad characters with cleavage, legs and midriff showing as well. If you want to be a sexy image, choose a costume that's appropriate to that feeling and leave the non-sexualized costumes be.

    Cutting away parts of a costume really just diminishes the effect in exchange for attention from masses who, most likely, don't really care about costume construction or screen accuracy.

    tl;dr she wants to do sexy cosplay a sexy character, don't start cutting away fabric to make a "sexy" version of someone

    I don't give a shit about accuracy, really. If you want to make a sexy version of a character then go ahead. Why not?

    Back in the day DMC3 Dante was the guy to crossplay, as sexy and accurate went hand in hand there.

    And by jove if you are against sexy nurse costumes then you and me, sir, have a problem.

    Are you implying, good sir, that our regular costumes are not sexy?

    Mine has epaulettes

    Nurses here wear the scrubs shape things. And although loose fabrics most definitely have their place as sexy clothing, they don't really compare to what the nursing students wore for the first week festivities.

    Scrubs are so comfy

    We only get to wear em during like a quarantine or if we go see dudes gettin' sliced up.

    When I qualify and work my way up Highlander style to true king nurse I shall decree scrubs for all

    Also from my facebook feed of nurse stuff;

    Unless that character is Pikachu, in which case stop criticising and go get some napalm.

    I would however point out that her 'costume' is basically some ears, and the rest of it is just yellow. I had some terrifying nightmare vision of someone really going for that hawt Pokemon hybrid look, all fur, a coy smile and hideous yellow bloat.

  • AbdhyiusAbdhyius Registered User regular
    That costume doesn't really look like pikachu much, which is a good thing in this case.

    Also her bra seems to be a very good fit from what I can see and I think noticing that is a sign that I am becoming a soft man as we say.

    At PAX East I saw an incredibly asthmatic black guy with a gheri curl. You could hear his breathing from a distance that precluded any chance of this guy working covert ops. He was dressed like Ash from Pokemon. He was not handsome. Attached to his person by a thin leash- the sort where you hold a plastic casing and thin cord is measured out at the press of a button- was a hot Asian girl dressed as Pikachu.

    It's a sight I don't think I'll ever forget. It was even more memorable than the guys in bolo suits- of which there were several.

    ah i see

    going for the old appeasement strategy are we? letting them salami slice away the shreds of your dignity? saying this far but no further as they gradually erode your pride and your manhood until you are a cold shadow of a man sitting atop his onyx throne surrounded by decay and the remnants of his servitors?

    sounds a lot like 'i'm a feminist unless you're a vapid slut', which is obviously terrible. who cares what she sexualizes? that there's even a 'position' to be taken here, an analysis to be rendered, suggests to me an underlying discontinuity in terms of basic decency

    RARELY in this fractious holy city do clerics cede rights for which they used to wage holy wars. But from the Abbey of the Dormition to Jesus’s resting place in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the bell-ringers of Jerusalem are abandoning their ropes after a century and a half, and installing automated timers instead.

    ...

    [T]imes and technology change. The churches now compete for the latest mod cons, including manpower-saving bells that chime at the touch of a button. “The old way was kind of a hassle,” sighs Athanasius Macora, a Franciscan friar whose church was the city’s first to automate its bells. “You had to be there on time.” Moreover, with their bells on auto-pilot, the churches can compete with the mosques and the air-siren that Israelis use to call in the Sabbath.
