it's the neckbeard syndrome that causes people to hate beauty and whenever it could be leveraged.

This is a really stupid idea that gets passed around as fact
Maybe it's true in some cases but generalizing it is dumb
That's like me calling you a white knight
I don't CARE for her but I don't hate her.
Guess so. Never understood why people tend to make a big deal when someone makes a living doing this sort of stuff. Anyways great Mass Effect cosplay pics.

Randomly: the only issue I have with Jessica Nigri is her use of eye shadow/makeupwhatever around the eyes. I think she uses too much of it. I imagine her to be just as gorgeous without so much around her eyes.
Heh same here, always thought she over does it with that.
it may be a generalization of that mentality, but I see no reason for it to exist in the first place.

I find this funny for reasons I definitely shouldn't at all. The costumes are on point though.
Can either of you actually quote whoever said they hated her or are you just making shit up to be white knights?
Not sure if you're talking about IPL, but I can confirm there were no body guards following her around specifically. There was general security at IPL, but no Jessica Nigri-exclusive body guards.
Hate was a hyperbole. But People immediately took the straw man argument against what she does.
This includes you who made the first comment. I don't know enough about her to make any judgements.
Pretty much, it's cool when the costume calls for it cause it's designed that way, but freaking everything? That's just some try hard shit

To be fair, my comment was meant to be sarcastic. Complaining that female cosplay can get too revealing is like complaining water gets too wet sometimes.

I don't hate her at all. Within the Quote
You really get "hate" out of that?
None of that is hateful at all and if you believe that any of that was perhaps you should grow some thicker skin, the Internet is a scary place.
If you post your 'opinion' you should at the very least include some pics.
That is awesome. Loving Kanji.
For the record I don't really know/care who this chick is I just find stating that you can't respect her because T&A a bit weird with no other context. I took a logical leap by thinking that if you can't respect her for doing what she enjoys in a way she enjoys then you must think that she's doing it just because because guys like her for it and that that isn't respect worthy so sorry if that was an unfair judgement.
Just, she's got her style it seems, saying it's not valid or justified or whatever because you think she's delibately using overt 'sex appeal' when she doesn't need to just says that you don't think she's doing what SHE thinks looks good without assuming that she's doing it just to appeal to mens dicks (or whoever elses whatevers).
If you don't think it looks good then fine, but you're not saying that, you're saying you can't respect her for it because it's fine when it's 'meant' to be sexy but not when it doesn't have to be.
BOOOOOOOO! Bunny suit Samus is the best. THE BEST!

That Samus outfit is just lame.
Just to clearify I never said you guys held hatred for her. I had used to word lightly in a more modern context (why you be hatin') but it was turned towards "hatred" as the concept.
I only even sited those examples because you had requested it when you inadvertently changed the tone of the whole conversation.

I think that Bunny ZSS is exactly what Hero was talking about before he got dogpiled by everyone. ZSS is already a very sexy character. She's wearing a skin tight bodysuit that basically shows everything, without showing much skin. Her attempt to "sex up," or in this case, more like "cute up" the suit missed it's mark, imo. Sure it's cute but her crafting skills are actually REALLY good. The original costume probably would have been better for both costume enthusiasts as well as for sexy pics.
Take the My Little Pony costume she has above (Rainbow Dash, I had to look it up). You have to realize that she made those wings, arts and crafts style. It's probably hobby foam but still, the 2 of them look identical and the cut of the wing is very precise. Also that Lugia hoodie, she sewed that. That shit ain't easy and requires lots of time, planning, and skill.
The pieces that she makes are actually VERY good, when you're not looking at her chest only. I think what Hero was saying is he wouldn't mind if she did something more accurate to the character and really challenged her skill as a costume maker, sexy character or not.

There is a playboy bunny Samus? Oh my. And I thought it was Team Ninja that went over the top with zero suit Samus.

You know I honestly have no issue with a chick who wants to show it off. If showing her T&A makes her happy and it really does appear so in the case of Jessica then I say let her do what she wants. It's the same with those women who don't like to show off their T&A. If they don't want to and it makes them happy then again more power to them. As long as the cosplay's aren't obscene then I say do what you want.
I can very much understand that. And even though I know that there's still a difference I find it a little weird that it's okay for Nigiri to sex up Assassin's Creed 3, but if Ubisoft had made a character with the same outfit they would have gotten shit from everyone.
