It looks like it's about 128x128, but I'm not sure.

42? Tage? Spring?

Yes, I'm a taste-tester!  *Goes to have a chat with the cook*


ANd Izzy, that's too big.  Livejournal's are 100X100 and they're bigger than these.  I think the size is soemthign horrific like 80X80

Fuzzy, you're probably right. I just know they're not as small as AOL buddy icons.

Looks like someone finally got around to helping me with my broken fist.

What's a "cosplayer" ?  I am.  Okay, I saw that one coming.

Rather, what does a "cosplayer" do?

the scariest kind of fanboy. They dress up in costume and pretend to be something else. Because role playing isn't enough for them. LARPing isn't enough for them. These people frighten me. I'm thinking of having them declared heretics and traitors and executed in my kingdom.

Cosplaying usually refers to anime or video game characters, too.  There are cosplaying conventions too. and you don't just dress up, you assume the persona of the person you are obsessed with/dressed as.  Gender means nothing, (because majority of cosplayers are girls), and yeah - they are more or less considered the lowest ranks of geek society.   The epitome of "Dude, get a life."


My husband's last girlfriend is an obsessive cosplayer.

well, "fanboy" kind of implies something to be a fanboy about, like anime etc.

I would point out, before we get into serious mockery, that it seems tasteless to me to denigrate these people.  To many in the world, my status as a fantasy novelist might be the epitome of 'dude, get a life.'  Certainly those of us who 'waste time' playing RGPs would be mocked by the mainstream world.  A lot of guys I know waste an enormous amount of time playing video games.  Can we really say that what these people do with their time is any less worthwhile than what we do with it?

Many of us have been called names for much of our lives because of our interests.  It seems hypocritical to me for us to simply turn around and find a sub-culture even more 'geeky' than ourselves, then mock them in an effort to inflate our own senses of self-worth.

PS--I do not mean to point fingers.  I realize that Fuzzy did not say that they were in need of 'getting a life'--she just said that is how they are generally seen, and she is correct.

I went to see the third matrix movie dressed like Neo. Does that make me completely sad? What if I was dissappointed about not having a costume for ROTK?

I would only make of you for dressing up as a Matrix character if you were a 300 lb girl trying to dress as Trinity.

eh... I don't do it to inflate my ego, actually. i do it because while I normally don't claim to be a nerd, I am. And even by my standards, Cosplay is weird.
