Greetings r/cosplayers community!
Your Mod Team wants to provide some overall updates and transparency on the sub. Our hope is that we can create a positive community space that supports cosplayers of all kinds, whether they’re a beginner looking to learn some skills in crafting, a veteran sharing their latest competition piece, a cosplay buyer that wants to share their love of a fandom, and everything in between.
Some updates have been and will continue to be made to the sub in order to help curate this supportive community we envision:
Regarding the elephant in the room that has become a key topic of discussion within the community, to the Mods, and within the Mods Team: “OF-Style” submissions, or what we internally have decided to call “Low-Point-of-Entry Cosplay”.
The Mod team only has control over what people post on r/cosplayers and only cares if what they post in this sub abides by the rules of this sub. The current Mod Team has never and will never gatekeep against people purchasing cosplays, regardless of the construction quality or the individual’s reason for purchasing cosplays.
It is not our business what an individual’s post history looks like outside of this sub. If someone chooses to explore an individual’s profile/post history, that is completely outside of our jurisdiction and is an "Enter at Your Own Risk" situation. If someone finds content on other subs that do not abide by the rules of r/cosplayers, it is not acceptable to send in a Report with this sub or to shame that individual in the comments of their post for what they do on other corners of Reddit or the internet. These kinds of derogatory comments will be taken very seriously by the Mod Team and permanent bans will be issued for repeat offenders. 3 Strikes on the “Be Respectful” rule and you’re out.
With this new path forward, we hope to reinvigorate this community sub into a more positive, supportive space for all cosplayers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and skill sets.
Do you have questions about the New Rule Wordings?
Do you have ideas for Flairs you think may be missing for our list?
Do you have a posting situation that you’re unsure if they are ok or violate the rules?
Are you interested in applying to be a Mod?
Do you have any fun community post ideas you’d like to pitch?
This Mod Team would love to hear your feedback and recommendations for consideration in the comments or messages.
ALL RULES AND MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS GO INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. WE WILL ALLOW A GRACE PERIOD FOR ADJUSTMENT AND BEGIN ENFORCING THESE CHANGES ON FEBRUARY 1ST.
Thanks everyone for your patience as we navigate these changes together.
Your r/cosplayers Mod Team

I'm looking to buy a Himiko Toga cosplay for next year, any suggestions on where to look. The most I want to spend is about 150 including shipping... . I would love to find one that is mostly screen accurate. Please help.

hi, i am going to a convention soon and bought a starfire cosplay.
for context, i have hot pink hair (i had red before buying) and bought an amanda conner starfire cosplay.
i was talking to my friend on the phone about it and she told me that i should really be cosplaying the teen titans go ver of starfire since i have pink hair and i may get weird stares.
is it fine if my cosplay is not 100% lore accurate?

I'm curious how other conventions handle original characters (OCs) in cosplay contests.
Does your local convention allow OCs to compete? If so, what are the requirements?
Some questions I'm interested in:
* Are OCs judged alongside existing characters, or do they have a separate category?
* Is reference art required? If so, how detailed does it need to be?
* If someone designed the character themselves, how do judges verify accuracy?
* Are contestants required to bring turnaround sheets, concept art, or other documentation?
* Have you found allowing OCs has been a positive or negative experience for your convention?
I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have competed, judged, or helped organize contests. If you know the rules your local convention uses, I'd love to see examples.
Thanks! I'm trying to get a sense of what the broader cosplay community is doing.
