I'm talking about the western who are doing Cosplay where most westerners who do Cosplay are prefer to imitate Anime/Asian characters which based on Asians and not cartoon/western characters which based on westerners, this fact can be seet at cosplay.com a western based Cosplay site where most of its members are westerners. In comparison Asians who do Cosplay are prefer to imitate Asians own Anime/Asian characters as the fact can be seen at curecos.com an Asian based Cosplay site where almost all of its members are Asians.

The only reason why I see why westerners to imitate Anime/Asian characters is because they see Anime/Asian characters which made by Asians based on Asians to be attractive, while they see their own cartoon/western characters made by westermers based on westerners to be unattractive or ugly for short.

The question of the topic is, is it because westerners especially this days see cuteness [ Asian beauty standard ] to be more eppealing than masculinity [ westerners beauty standard ]? You can see the reference for this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_alphQnRLz8

The westerners even go as far as to try faking themselves including their picture in order to look more like Asian, reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv9R1Ih2w1Y

This thread sucks.

As an example, you play Dark Eldar, do you wish you were actually of the Dark Eldar race? Its a freakin' hobby. So what if they dress up like anime characters. You play with plastic soldiers, don't rip on other peoples hobbies man.

I'm not so sure about that. Look at his whole 12 posts. All of them are about bashing whitey (westerners) for playing anime dress up (cosplay). I smell a troll in these woods...

A picture reference for westerners masculinity :


I'm sure even in just 8 years before, westerners still value masculinity very hightly where they still call another westerner who try act/look cute as childish, immature, etc but this days they go on praising the act as a good thing and even prefer to do it than trying to look masculine.

What's going on, are western culture atleast their beauty standard have been taken over by Asian beauty standard? I know you still don't see this in western movies but the general masses is what important.

Not on Dakka, thanks.
