Ultimately you do you. If you cosplay to be admired by others, then obviously this is a problem. If you complain for yourself, have fun (but don't get annoyed when everyone asks you what it is).

I cosplay as whatever I want, regardless of whether they're well-known or not. I dressed up for a Halloween event earlier and people could tell who I was though (it's easy to mistake it for something else, so I was pleasantly surprised people got who I was going for).

Yeah, it’s nice when I’m RE 2 Leon. Especially when Ada and Ashley cosplayers approach me. But there’s just something about being obscure character, and someone still recognizes you. I was pic related and the whole weekend only twice did someone know what I was (The group of Viking cosplayers were really hyped to see me.)

A mix of well known and obscure. Sometimes I go for well known characters and sometimes obscure characters. Really it depends on the mood and interest.

Obviously obscure shit. No reason to get excited once you've seen the same costume twice per day. Only good thing about it is going to group meetups. Also obscure things actually let you open up conversation since everyone has talked about the big works to death already.

Obscure because the stuff I like tends to be hipster shit or older material. But not on principle, I like some brand new and popular stuff such as err Girls' Last Tour and Blame (2017).
