Hey..... I would worship a girl who dressed like Asuka in that EVA suit, hell yeah.
You have just called me stupid in your post, with kind words.
Alright.
My reasons are simple: Real otakus outside the japanese world are rare. Most of that people claim to be something they are not, and that's mostly why I think they suck. I already mentioned the reasons. They mostly look like either clowns or transvestites. That, in my
non-intelligent opinion, IS NOT COOL. If you really LOOK A LOT like an anime character, really get very close to their measurements, and the clothes, outfits, whatever you are wearing are almost exactly like the character, then it's fine. But since it is RARE to see that, again comes, they just look like stupid losers most of times.
But maybe you are right after all regarding my opinion aboust cosplay... since everytime I see photographs of those conferences and stuff, all I see is a bunch of Drag Queens and macho lesbians, and I probably have never seen a single person who really looks like the character he/she's trying to look like, so there goes all my rant about them. If you gave me good examples of a cosplayer who has done his/her job well done, I could change my mind.
P.S. show us a pic of yourself dressed as Asuka
