So I'm curious to know how you feel about the "My Little Pony" coming to gaia. I've always had a subtle fascination with the pony people because I am so passionate about con cosplay and interesting costume ideas.
Because I don't feel like a "real gaian" in the sense of being a seasoned cosplayer. It makes me wonder if cosplay is all a big front for people who crave attention. I have to wonder what it would be like to make an amazing costume and feel great in it. Would the experience be empowering?
I have never cosplayed in my life and probably never will, I am a big girl and there are not a lot of things i deem suitable, at some point I may ask my talented friend how much it would cost for one of her amazing full body pieces, since I wouldn't feel embarrassed in one of them.
I don't really have the money for it though either because I do Live Action Role Play or LARP instead.
I would very much say that being a 'real Gaian' has naff all to do with cosplay though , loads of Gaians don't and never will.
As for my little pony I am very happy that the fandom got what it wanted. Its not my thing personally but I am happy to have more nice looking items and I think that sponsors are a great thing. I don't get the haters, I really don't, if some one is happy let them be, also who are people to judge I am an adult but I would still go bats-bananas if they made Lion King or Pokemon items.
Haters need to chill...
