what cons do you people go to?
from what I've seen, many cosplayers still have regular jobs and are generally just average people funding their own cosplays, with a few being lucky enough to get donations

i dont think a lot of people lamenting this stuff actually go to cons lol

it has always just mostly been regular people

That's only an issue on social media. The main difference compared to the last decade is that now most people wear premade chinese costumes, but there are still passionate people who will happily converse about costume making.

Blame western media being so shit that it drove normies and casuals to look at anime

Not everyone is a disgusting fat slob like you, moid. Cosplay has always had beautiful fit people cosplaying their favorite characters.

Way to project your own insecurities nonna

Might have something to do with the pandemic, and how mire normies had time with anime and other nerd-stuff
Only explination I have

Normie girls figured out our nerd girl's game of farming us dork guys for attention and perhaps a living.

There used to be a term: "Convention hot". Average dorky girls who were hot because they were cosplaying a sexy/beloved character at a convention of guys who knew they weren't prime cuts of meat themselves.

Once upon a time, society was more balanced in 'looks-matching'. Average dork girls were courted by average dork guys and some future dorks were eventually spawned and raised in dork families and all was right in the world.

Then the Fire Nation atta--

Jokes aside the more desirable humans realized there was virgin (literally) ground to explore and exploit. A socio-sexual niche to fill.
Society (thanks social media) now promotes everyone chasing the absolute pinnacle of their desired sex and nowhere is sacred, every space is now a stage to try and rut. No reservations for the more vulnerable life. Dorks skitter desperately to avoid being stomped on by the giant paws of the 10s, their hopes of getting a date or enjoying their dork hobby shattered like the social ground beneath the feet of these heedless megafauna.

I've noticed it in every space initially set up by society's less than top tier potential dates. Sooner or later the more attractive normies start infiltrating. Chad so he can farm easy attention and ONS' from the girls, and Stacys so they can farm male attention from all-too-eager guys, and maybe promote their pics/videos for hard cash, etc.

This is what I mean, yes before u had sexy girls and fanservice, but it was mostly conventionally hot or girls who were into those games or animes

Now it's girls who are legitimately former models, former college athletes, take all kinds of performance drugs at the gym

>girls who are legitimately former models, former college athletes, take all kinds of performance drugs at the gym
burgerfag so take with grain of salt re: other countries' cons, but most of these 'professional cosplay models' only really show up in person at the big industry cons (AX, ANYC) and maybeee the big party cons (katsu, holmat, etc). they're still very much an outlier at most mid-large anime cons. your average con will have lots of pretty girls glammed up in heavy makeup, yes, but not really the kind of normie models turned 'pro cosplayers' you're talking about.

also, in the big industry cons' case, they're often hired to be there. it's essentially nerdy atmosphere modeling. these girls do it because the cons themselves are offering lucrative modeling opportunities...male con execs have decided this is what the richer simps want and thus are bankrolling models to "enhance the experience." retarded, sure, and antithetical to the spirit of cons, but it's average corpo-con bullshit. they're appealing to the guys who choose to spend their strip club money on dorkshit for a weekend. best of both worlds i guess

>Pre Pandemic
The failed models meta was already a well-established thing by the mid-2010's when I started going to cons. By that point, people like Yaya Han and Jessica Nigri were already old faces on their way out. That one cosplayer doing Quiet from MGSV that kept being annoyed by nerds trying to take pics of her (I think that's what she was upset by? I don't remember for sure anymore) was from before the coof.

YayaHan and Nigri dont seem to be on the way out
>>10967255
this is what im seeing too

It really is sad how most men don't see it's messing up their potential to get with a cute 6/10 who actually likes them. All the dork girls I know either met their spouse in one of these spaces in the Before Times or are choosing to be single because the simp behavior in their dating pool grosses them out. I am not kidding when I say that they consider being more into hentai than real women models/cosplayers a green flag.

I would blame Yaya Han and Jessica Nigri
