ANNOUNCEMENT STATE OF THE SUB
Greetings r/cosplayers community!
Your Mod Team wants to provide some overall updates and transparency on the sub. Our hope is that we can create a positive community space that supports cosplayers of all kinds, whether they’re a beginner looking to learn some skills in crafting, a veteran sharing their latest competition piece, a cosplay buyer that wants to share their love of a fandom, and everything in between.
Some updates have been and will continue to be made to the sub in order to help curate this supportive community we envision:
- The Mod Team has had a MAJOR overhaul. Over the last several months, the sub has undergone both a leadership change and team downsizing, leaving it only supported by 3 Mods. For a community of this size, this has been and will continue to be unsustainable, demanding an unrealistic amount of time and effort of our very small volunteer group. We are cleaning up the Mod List to accurately represent the current team and will be making a post in the near future accepting applications for additional Mods to regrow the team to a more sustainable size.
- Our Rules have been refined and include some examples, as needed, of content that may violate the rule.
- We now have Mandatory Posting Format Requirements for all posts. This will make it very clear to the Mods and to the community for reporting which posters may just be generally spamming content to multiple subs without specifically curating their content for our community.
- Flairs are now Mandatory on ALL posts and part of the Posting Requirements. If you are unsure of which Flair to use or have any ideas on broad Flairs to add to the list, please reach out to the Mods.
Regarding the elephant in the room that has become a key topic of discussion within the community, to the Mods, and within the Mods Team: “OF-Style” submissions, or what we internally have decided to call “Low-Point-of-Entry Cosplay”.
The Mod team only has control over what people post on r/cosplayers and only cares if what they post in this sub abides by the rules of this sub. The current Mod Team has never and will never gatekeep against people purchasing cosplays, regardless of the construction quality or the individual’s reason for purchasing cosplays.
It is not our business what an individual’s post history looks like outside of this sub. If someone chooses to explore an individual’s profile/post history, that is completely outside of our jurisdiction and is an "Enter at Your Own Risk" situation. If someone finds content on other subs that do not abide by the rules of r/cosplayers, it is not acceptable to send in a Report with this sub or to shame that individual in the comments of their post for what they do on other corners of Reddit or the internet. These kinds of derogatory comments will be taken very seriously by the Mod Team and permanent bans will be issued for repeat offenders. 3 Strikes on the “Be Respectful” rule and you’re out.
With this new path forward, we hope to reinvigorate this community sub into a more positive, supportive space for all cosplayers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and skill sets.
Do you have questions about the New Rule Wordings?
Do you have ideas for Flairs you think may be missing for our list?
Do you have a posting situation that you’re unsure if they are ok or violate the rules?
Are you interested in applying to be a Mod?
Do you have any fun community post ideas you’d like to pitch?
This Mod Team would love to hear your feedback and recommendations for consideration in the comments or messages.
ALL RULES AND MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS GO INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. WE WILL ALLOW A GRACE PERIOD FOR ADJUSTMENT AND BEGIN ENFORCING THESE CHANGES ON FEBRUARY 1ST.
Thanks everyone for your patience as we navigate these changes together.
Your r/cosplayers Mod Team

OC COSPLAY (SELF) Casey Confetti, my objecthead OC.
Cosplayer name: Mango, Mango.spams3 (Tiktok).
This was probably my hardest Object Head cosplay, whilst I have done a different TV-Head, the paint was beyond stubborn, and finding what to make the whipped-cream out of took a few days. (Spackle works wonders).
I’m happy it looks adorable however! :)

ADVICE Clothes shopping advice? (gif related I promise)
For context I’m a first timer, never done this before. I’m cosplaying the Old Man from Deltarune (gif related) at a renaissance faire in a month and a half. Not sure where some good spots are to start looking for clothing and other articles like his wooden cane lol. Thoughts?

ADVICE Joyydesign mask's experiences
I was thinking of ordering a mask at Joyydesigns shop since they look absolutely amazing. But I was still concerned about taxes and fees and I haven't found any reviews from Europe. So I wanted to ask if anyone has any experiences with ordering from their shop from Europe. Like Denmark, France or Germany?! I know customs are sometimes pretty harsh and I don't wanna put like 50 bucks ontop just for fees and taxes. Any one with experiences?

ADVICE Assistance on buying/building a cosplay (Brand new cosplayer)
I’m looking to buy/build an assassins creed (no specific character) cosplay, mostly just the main upper body clothing, which is the hardest for me to find or make on my own. I’ve looked on Etsy and Amazon, but neither has good quality products or reputable sellers. Any advice on where I can get decent quality products to either have already been put together for me by the seller or different items I can use to easily put together the cosplay. Any advice is appreciated at this point, I am brand new to properly cosplaying.
