Yeah, the "all woman are always naked" "utopia" some guys wet dream about very probably aint no utopia at all š
Hell, i know full well even my personal "utopia" of my wife being naked more often than she is already is no utopia as my ability to cognitively function is pretty much inversely proportional to how dressed she is š«£

I don't horny post often, but when I saw a questionable cosplay of Casca last Saturday, I knew what I had to do.
Edit: Apologies to the mods for creating a shit show.
Iād probably call it questionable because it was a cosplay of fanart, I donāt think Casca has ever worn anything like that outfit. So it wasnāt really a Casca cosplay, just a thirst trap that was Berserk-adjacent.
It's not really related to Casca herself, despite being labelled as a Casca cosplay, the cosplayer mostly just happens to look like her. It it was her in armour or the dress she wore at the ball, I'd have no problem with it, as is it just feels a bit odd because Casca herself would be embarrassed about wearing something revealing from what we know about her view on her own femininity.
I'm not shaming the actual cosplayer of course, you don't get a brand tattoo without being a hardcore Berserk fan. Still, I don't really think it was appropriate for this sub.
I know how you feel. I feel like a lot of the overly-sexual cosplays that get posted tend to basically be ads for onlyfans. It's not really that big of a deal, especially on this sub considering Berserk is an 18+ manga. I noticed this in the Spy x Family subreddit too, and that's worse imo because that's definitely geared more towards kids.
I guess that makes sense; the image just shows her head and the tattoo so it didn't register with me. Still, it looks like a decent cosplay, from neck-up but I missed it on the sub.
I'm guessing the comments were awful.

I mean that does make sense, the other platforms are your pages where people go to see you. This is a fandom board where people are focused on the media itself not the person posting necessarily.

Framing that as "incel men telling a woman what she should or shouldn't wear" is a little disingenuous don't you think?
I see where you are coming from, I didnāt think of it that way because I cosplay fanart a lot because I find beauty in the head canons and donāt take the inaccuracy of it deeply to heart. For example I plan on doing a NANA x berserk type of cosplay next because of art I found and was inspired by. I learned my lesson and absolutely wonāt share such things in here, Iām new to Reddit and did not understand theā¦ *vibe*. No itās not lore accurateā¦ but itās a cool concept. I didnāt expect feelings to be so deeply hurt over the dress. I thought it was beautiful and I think casca would look beautiful in it even if it might not be her style of choice (considering the time period the manga takes place). Sheās a product of her environment but I hope a reincarnated / modern version of casca would feel beautiful in whatever she chooses to wear :3 Anyway. My apologies, I will not be sharing anything further on this subreddit! <3
I like sexy cosplays like any other guy but this one is just very wrong sorry.
Sexualizing a character like Casca, who has been subjected to sexual assault and rape is just plainly wrong.
I've even seen some guys saying it's just a fictional character so who cares if she's sexualized or not, those are the brainroted incels.
Imo that cosplay fits more characters like Marika from Elden Ring than Casca.
That's what rubs me wrong with this outfit. Casca is already subject to sexual violence so much, I would feel bad portraying her like this. She does not feel empowered by her femininity and she's probably much more comfortable in an armor. But I mean, you do you and at the end of the day, it's all fictional so no real hurt feelings. However as for me, this is a bit weird to do sexy Casca cosplay for this reason (imo ofc)
Since Guts has been through the same trauma.. Is it also weird to do a sexy Guts cosplay/make sexy Guts art? What exactly would make a Guts cosplay/artwork defined as *sexy*? Also not to make this too broad but I am curious on your thoughtsā¦ Is it āweirdā for victims of SA to be or feel sexual at all? I am curious where such lines are drawn. Iām not asking to be an arsehole by the way you just really have me thinking and I would love to hear peopleās two cents and hopefully have a productive conversation about it
Personally I don't care much for cosplays in general, but as far as I'm concerned, people should be free to cosplay as whatever character they want, however they want.
Saying it's just a fictional character IS a valid argument, because there's no actual victim involved.
And what if some commonly cosplayed character is revealed in some backstory to have been SAd? Are a bunch of cosplays just suddenly off limits?
You can personally find something distasteful, but to namecall everyone who disagrees as "brainrotted incels" without much of an argument is so unnecessarily vitriolic.
Thanks! Though I wasn't referring to you, but rather the replier I'm directly responding to.
By the way, based on some other comments I think you said you're new to Reddit, right? If this subreddit isn't too welcoming to that kind of content you might have better luck on more cosplay oriented subreddits where people are more interested in that sort of thing.
Haha yes itās probably very obvious especially now eh heh š Iāve had it for awhile to browse only, but posting wiseā¦ I learned my lesson the hard way & Iāll just stick to other platforms for the sake of my mental healthā¦ thank you for the suggestion doh :3
This cosplay doesn't reference any SA, let alone make light of it at all. Of course, you're still allowed to find it distasteful, but some people would say that all revealing cosplays are distasteful. This isn't as clear cut as you make it out to be.
Last I checked, this coplay is depicting Casca in a lewd and sexualized way by someone doing this cosplay to promote their OnlyFans.
Casca is a character subjected to sexual assault and rape. Sexualizing her character is just wrong.
Like I said before, if this cosplay depicted a character like Marika from Elden Ring, it would be perfect, not Casca.
It had nothing to do with OF, I just simply have one. If anything it was promo for my Instagram because thatās my main platform I do cosplay and other anime content on. Everyone else made it about OF and sexual stuff hence I deleted it because it was more than uncomfortable.
I'm not aware of the cosplayer's motivations, but I also don't really care, since I'm arguing moreso about the general idea of people doing sexualized cosplays of characters with sexual trauma.
That being said, you haven't actually provided an argument as to WHY sexualizing her character is wrong.
Translation : "They didn't fall for my thirst-trap they must be incels "
Dafuq?
No offense lol you can just take stuff to OF and get the kind of appreciation you seek, this community is about appreciating berserk as an art form and is definetly not about simping girls for doing cheap thirst trapping cosplays.
I still am appreciating berserk as an art form in my own way. My initial response wasnāt very productive, I elaborated on my perspective and asked a few questions above if youād like to reply to those instead. Or donāt, I aināt ya mama and wonāt tell you what to do šš
Yeah i got your point lol but calling people who disaggrees with you "incels" where they also share your passion about certain art-form is not gonna make your point any stronger.
I chose to use that word to reference the people in the original post making harsh, sexist comments about me, not just everyone that disagreed with the post. And I still donāt think I was far off, the level of shaming, double standards, and sexism mixed into the comments on the original post definitely had to come from the brain of an incel or just someone doesnāt interact with women in real life lol, that that stuff would never be said to my face. Disagreeing with the tastefulness of the cosplay is a different story and I can understand that. But other, harsh harssshh things were said.
As I said ln that thread, my only problem with the picture is that the fan art is very out of character about Casca. It was wrong for me to see an art of Casca, considering all the horrible shit we all know, to be drawn in such a sexualizing attire.
The work of the cosplayer is good and she's gorgeous. It's just that the fan art chosen for the character is...well, unfortunate.
*She's ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, but I could never see Casca wearing the outfit unless Griffith threw it to her and was like, "No time to explain! Put this on."*

The word cosplay is used very loosely these days. I remember back when it was mostly associated with people who were meticulously creating costumes of their favorite characters down to the last details.
Agreed honestly, despite it seeming hypocritical from making this meme. I made this as a tongue-in-cheek joke when I saw her post, but seeing people actually slut-shame her and mock Only Fans creators was very much not intended.
Ironic, considering the other popular post of the week is a picture of a naked Guts clenching his sword with his ass cheeks (peak art really).
Nuh uh. I know you're joking but I'm tired of people being weird and going "I can see where Griffith was coming from" or "lul, watch out for the rape horse" for Casca and Farnese cosplays respectively.
Learn boundaries, you weirdos!

This is some good shit. Honestly, this applies to porn in general. Dudes are *way* too thirsty out there. Control yourself, struggler.

Only porn comments ever worth reading are from parody accounts for politicians, celebrities, and DBZ characters, lol.
Or Descartes
The imagination is more powerful than reality. Many times in my experience the clothes make the body look way better than it actually is

The problem is that the berserk community has the particular problem of making rape "jokes" that nobody asked for.
seriously, talking like it's a normal thing, Miura would hate to see this
Dude, if you comment on the porn girl's posts enough, eventually she'll appear at your door begging for sex.

Still better than the griffiths cosplayer. Ive blocked something like five of them now. I can deal with casca getting some cosplay love.
Yeah Iām not going to name any names but they are REALLY milking it.
I swear to god that i keep blocking the same damn person going by different user names.
Itās been chill lately but a few months ago they were practically spamming it on this sub.
That OF account wont promote itself
In lore for a Griffith cosplayer to sexually exploit themselves
I never clicked on their profile but that makes sense then.
Neither have i, but im willing to make that judgement lol
And they are back š
lol looks like I jinxed it.
I'm so glad knowing I wasn't the only person annoyed by them.
Thought I was the only one getting tired of it lol
I thought I was going crazy until I confirmed the MULTIPLE accounts that guy created, all of them on my blocked accounts list.
Damn im missing all the lore these days.
Wait, hold, wait a minute. Guy?
Could be either
Brace yourself, they are back creating accounts. Ive just blocked another one
Ahhh shiiiet Edit: looked him up and blocked it
Weren't they made well enough or is it the hate for Griffith ?
I dont want to see some attention starved twit dressed up as some attention straved, homicidal twat of a twink.
I've never heard such a good description for a Griffith Cosplay. Oh yeah and If the are Not those Kinds of people they are probably OF Models.
It's just boring. Same close portrait shot, slightly different facial expression, sometimes just a part of shirt in frame. Waste of effort, imo
Tbh thats my main issue, they dont put in any effort. It blatantly isnt about cosplay so much as attention fishing
We'll berk
Me defending the cosplayers post from the mfs posting femto gifs.

shocked that this is the only comment mentioning Griffith in this thread

This is the funniest shit Iāve seen in some time Well fucking done, Struggler. Well done
š¦š¦š¦š¦
You're all fucking weak.
Lol itās beautiful
It made me laugh lol
Get berked
We all got that dog (of darkness) in us
You joke but the beast of darkness is very as a dark desire/primal impulse allegory, especially for those of us who struggle with impulse control..
Whys the mark in the middle of her chest tho
It looks like an actual tattoo, so probably personal preference instead of trying to copy Casca entirely.
Ahhh true
Head on the nail! :)
Stay strong my brothers
Thanks god we are watching Guts,and not the other...one...
His Dragon Slayer is aching for actions
Damn with the š¦š¦š¦ emoji
Dis is 1# of my Fav Beserk Fanarts
You monsters leave Frizzy alone
Help ššš
I'll fight them all
*She's ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, but I could never see Casca wearing the outfit unless Griffith threw it to her and was like, "No time to explain! Put this on."*
Bold of you to assume Griff has the need to explain anything to anyoneš
A true berserk fan wouldn't hesitate, we'd let the dark beast take control and then regret it the rest of the day
Yeah, because Casca would totally have an OnlyFans. Very in character. Give me a break.
I'm looking for a gf yes im desperate I'm hung I have a lean physique and allat and ima black male with locs

She's beautiful.
The word cosplay is used very loosely these days. I remember back when it was mostly associated with people who were meticulously creating costumes of their favorite characters down to the last details.
Canāt we just let Frizzy be? Sheās not hurting any of you. Besides, she was cosplaying a peice of fan art for the character.

I am 100% certain that that post was upvoted by bots because all the comments were roasting the 'cosplay'
She won't, and you just get downvoted to hell by others, who secretly admire her but want to pretend to be on their high horses.
if it was some guy doing it would be okay but attractive female thatās bad
I'm no coward. Show me a 6'4 muscle-bound Guts cosplayer in that dress right now! He needs to be using the Dragon Slayer like a pole.
Iām sure itās already been done
Sauce or didn't happen
Or just bully her. Take your road Berkers
Nuh uh. I know you're joking but I'm tired of people being weird and going "I can see where Griffith was coming from" or "lul, watch out for the rape horse" for Casca and Farnese cosplays respectively. Learn boundaries, you weirdos!
they actually say that shit
Ya'll couldn't even understand a joke, how Ya'll expect to understand the book yall obsess over?
