Cosplay...has the word 'play' in it, but that doesn't mean that a cosplayer can be not serious about his cosplay. I think I'm very particular about the seriousness part. If you're just fooling and playing around, then I don't think you should even be cosplaying. Heck, I think this applies to every thing that you do. If you're just fooling around in whatever that you do, it's a total disgrace to that thing itself. When you want to do something, you need to put your heart in it, and do your best for it. That's the spirit I believe in.

Cosplayers aren't models. Yes, cosplayers aren't models; modelling is a profession; cosplaying is just a hobby. But that doesn't mean that you should lose the professionalism that models have during their shoot. IMO, if you're sick or unhappy with anything but still decide to go to the shoot, try your best to at least appear energetic during the phototaking and leave all your shit to after the shoot. Don't whine and give attitude throughout the shoot and make things difficult for everyone, including yourself. It justs shows bad on yourself.

Insulting cosplayers who are just bigger sized/tanned/whatever-body-difference-from-the-character's-features only brings shame on you. Looks are always the killer factor. Not everyone has the perfect skin/figure like the anime characters. It is a fact that when a good-looking cosplayer with not that much accuracy is compared to a not-that-good-looking cosplayer with higher percentage of accuracy, we usually love and fangirl over the good-looking cosplayer more. (That's the sad thing about life. Looks do matter no matter how much we all deny it.) However, that being said, it doesn't mean that you can deem the not-that-good-looking cosplayer as a cosfuck. He/she had tried her best to look as similar as the character as possible, but it is impossible to change one's looks/figure. (No, don't give me that "you can lose weight" shit, because some people are naturally born bigger sized than the others.) Although he/she will probably not be remembered as some 'zomg imba cosplayer <3333', he/she still has the standards required of a cosplayer. He/she does not reach the standard of being called a cosfuck. [This is just if both cosplayers have a certain standard already. If there is missing wig/severe costume error, it's a different matter altogether.]
