Best of luck, Rukkirii

Yup, without going too much into detail...I've been stalked RL, followed, harassed by men and woman, stalked online (still happening but I am working on fixing that by deleting EVERYTHING) and a lot other way worse things which I won't mention. And you know how it all started? With people making threads about me online due to a Yoko picture I posted for fun on a cosplay board. Kinda snowballed into something horrible.

But the point is, women will see this differently then men because some of us have had horrible experiences with stalking and creepy folks in general. But hey she puts her REAL name in her signature on this forum so, I dunno. Have to be smart when doing stuff online.

I'm forced to see it both ways. I find creepers (and many posters in this thread) to be very distasteful, even cringeworthy.

On the other hand, it's hard to feel sympathy for people who engage in attention seeking hobbies, and then turn around and complain that they got more attention than they bargained for, or not the kind of attention they wanted. I'm not trying to blame the victim here, but I really think it goes both ways.

And back on topic, I'll just repeat what I said before in different words. For me personally, nothing of value was lost here. I have no opinion on the individual, positive or negative.

As an additional side note:

Having dated a cosplayer, never date a cosplayer. I'm not bitter, I'm experienced.

I'm pretty sure she'll still play xiv and i'm pretty sure she'll post on here, as one of us not a mod. So I don't think she's really going anywhere. Just one of the good ole boys now

Yeah, it definitely goes both ways >.< I suppose it depends on how much they learn from the "Experience" haha. Personally I was naïve and dumb and figured after spending like 6 months working on a costume...I could take pics in it and literally thought along the lines of.."Tee hee I'm gonna cosplay Sheryl and Yoko cuz they are so sexy and awesome and make cosplay friends! ^_^_^_^" when in reality...I made stalkers. Once I learned this the hard way (like a dumb fool) I deleted everything and sold my costumes.

I was so naïve I had no idea the kind of reaction and "stalkers" that would follow suit. Well, now I know and I shall not do it again. I don't need praise and attention from strangers to validate my existence (not saying all cosplayers or ppl do, just me personally) anyway, enough about this LOL I was just trying to explain to some folks why this thread comes off as creepy, didn't want to go so off topic!

I wish I could date a hawt cosplayer. =(

yeah, I find you creepers to be incredibly off putting, but that's just me.

then again, this thread is no more creepy than the "super general" thread with people randomly making poems and other creepy crap for the OP (who I guess must be a girl).

guys: lose some weight and go outside. there are a lot of girls. I think about half the population or so.

In all honesty, it's kind of like having all the headaches of dating a stripper, without the financial perks.

In fact, I would say it's a money losing endeavor. Costumes can be pretty expensive. And don't get me started on dollfies.

what creepy is when people really act on dumb shit, not guys have there ways of fawning over a cute girl. I mean you automatically assume all these people who are fawning over a awesome chick like rukrirkikeirkekirkeikreikreik are fat and need to go outside. first of all most guys would fawn over her, and second of all I mean she's just has a cool personality, nothing wrong with that. Sorry NONE of these guys on here aren't half as creepy as the dudes I've seen on other websites.
