  Well personally, just voicing an unpopular opinion to see if anyone agrees. I see it is unpopular lol >
  
  That’s…that’s the whole point. People don’t cosplay just to sit at home alone and have nobody see it. The whole point of cosplay is to have others see you in costume. >
  
  You didn’t get what I meant. Someone cosplaying as their favorite character vs someone who doesn’t know shit about that character but only cosplaying for attention and getting that by unnecessarily skimpy costumes >
  
  
  but only cosplaying for attention and getting that by unnecessarily skimpy costumes
  
  To be fair...those outfits are generally skimpy in the show too. The cosplayers don't have to really try hard for that. Japan sure loves them some 14 year old girls in skimpy clothing. >
  
  Wasn’t specifically speaking about Japanese characters but you get the gist. >
  
  Same for female characters in American media too. >
  
  Looks at female armor styles in many RPGs. >
  
  Ah yes the super heavy armor that exposes the characters belly, thighs and other various body parts...
  Guess the armor is mAgIcAl! >
  
  Of course, maybe there are people that dress up and chill on the couch all day, but people that dress up like that and go to conventions are obviously looking for attention. Going online is no different. >
  
  all cosplayers are attention seekers. everyone who enjoy doing anything noticeable publicly is. 
  but it's not always a bad thing. >
  
  
  This is not an unpopular opinion, its just facts. 2. You're saying this with a tone that implies its a bad thing. What is the problem with people cosplaying for money, attention, etc.? Are you saying that because they seek attention somehow their work looks bad? If anything, the more attention they get, the more money they get, the more attention to detail they can add to the cosplay. What is the point of this opinion? 3. Two things can be true: people can cosplay for attention as well as because they are imagining themselves in that world. >
  
  Cosplayers online? How about every single "content creator". Internet people don't even realize that we are feeding all the value produced by society into entertainers. And what do we get in return? Usually cheap content like a react of a react of a react. I could bet there is even an inflation factor involved. There is no way we can funnel so much value into valueless people and dont get punished with massive inflation.
