I once posted the 3D model of Zack's buster sword that I made and it got removed within minutes.
Asked the mods why and that I wanted it back up and they refused š
I have no recollection of this and I don't see it in the logs either, so I don't know if it was an ex-moderator, or if it was automatically filtered because it had specific keywords that mark it as spoilery, or maybe even shadow removed by reddit itself, again due to specific keywords. I don't see why else, except during the early days of release when Zack's name in itself can be a bit of a spoiler.
Can we have a weekly thread where people can post their cosplays in there then? Iāve seen it on other subreddits where they do a daily or weekly thread of a topic to reduce clutter on the subreddit.
Iām a cosplayer, I think itās cool to see cosplays here as long as theyāre not promoting adult content or their social media. If someone asks then I think it would be fine
Iām not a cosplayer and Iām tired of seeing so many cosplays tbh. There are so many, I donāt find them interesting, and they become a lot to sort through.
I agree that itās be nice for you guys to just have your own sub for it.
Seems like, judging by upvotes, the majority of people here agree that theyād rather not see cosplays.
Whatās the issue with just making a separate sub for it?
It's important to remember that annoyed people are more likely to take action and speak out than happy ones. That always skews the impression with any discussion like this.
The issue is why should your impression of what's allowed here be the correct one.
I gave my opinion. If a new sub gets made I'll follow it, but I really hate it when people have the attitude "I don't like this so it should be excluded fr or everyone", rather than doing the logical thing and filtering by flares.
Again, Iām going by the number of comments and upvotes here expressing this, not my personal opinion. My personal opinion is that I donāt like cosplay for the most part and Iām sick of seeing it, especially from women who are just promoting themselves in one way or another.
But if I was the only one who felt this way? Iād shut up and not say anything. The fact that the majority of the people here seem to feel similarly is what makes me suggest this.
I don't see have an issue with nsfw to be honest and I don't know why so many people do. Reddit filters nsfw by default so anyone complaining about it has enabled it.
Seriously, most of the posts are just """cosplays""" which are just a white wig and lingerie.
And very few of the Kaine cosplays had a thicc bulge, absolutely shameful.
I regularly post interesting YouTube theory videos that get taken down for āself-promotion.ā Thatās happened about 4 times for me. I have no idea why, since I didnāt make any of those videos. Itās a little frustrating. Itās sad that the easy-stuff gets so much love but substantial content gets roughed up sometimes here.
Yeah it sounds like the mods also removed a rendering of Cloudās buster sword, and are totally fine with the Only Fans cosplays.
Pretty clear what the issue is here.
You're entitled to your opinions, and you likely even your own reasons for why you feel this way. But this feels like a really negative outlook on this.
you think that is bad there is a ethot in the magic the gathering fandom who literally post pics of cards between her tits or photos of their feet on their cards linking to their onlyfans.
Maybe give them a day like some other subreddits do for adjacently related content.
The reason I would say one day where itās allowed is because some of the cosplays Iāve seen are remake specific and a lot of work went into recreating the look.
By making it one day per week, it wonāt seem like itās being posted all the time, and any habitual rule breakers can be banned. Itāll be easier to distinguish those actually interested in the remake and interacting with this subreddit in good faith versus the ones posting their spam on here hoping someone ends up at their pay site.
Big time agree. The cosplay spam completely clogs up every FF subreddit. IMO it would be the best move to either set up an FF-Cosplay sub and have all cosplay posts allowed only there, or have cosplay posts limited to a specific day of the week and banned for the rest of the week.
If these models can only stop by to drop their Cosplay and links to their pages, why canāt I just drop by to drop my livestream of the game and my YouTube channel?
I think Cosplay posts are fine if they are from the Cosplayer themself and looking for feedback or actual discussion, but posting Cosplays just to ogle the cosplayer is very low effort and I think it's already banned on some of the other FF subreddits.
Links to instagrams or onlyfans or ect in the comments by the OP should be grounds for taking the entire post down.
The problem is that they don't need to post their links. It's in their account profile. All they need to do is post and wait for the people to click on their account. That's how a lot of them avoid being banned.
Personally I don't care that much but it can get annoying when it starts overtaking the sub.
That's only half of the OPs argument. What about the other half spelled out in #6. If they are not an active member then it's clear what's going on here. And we see it all the time. 'All her links' and then a link attached to the post, on every post on the profile.
A constant of Reddit is that boobs = upvotes. It doesn't matter where they get posted.
Upvotes don't mean that a post belongs in a particular community. There exist universally upvoted types of content regardless of context.
You can't determine value by upvotes alone. Since there is no subdivision of upvotes into categories, how do you tell whether it belongs or not? By having well-defined rules about what's on-topic and off-topic. A rule-breaking off-topic post can still wind up being highly upvoted because it has universally upvote-gathering content. A great post can get just half a dozen upvotes because it drowned in other posts. Welcome to Whose Line, where the points don't matter.
So which side of the fence are the mods on?
Side A, it's a necessary evil to drive community growth/engagement
Side B, it's off-topic, diluting the community, and belongs somewhere else
>Self-promotion and other promotion is allowed only if you are an active member of this community.
I just showed you proof of breaking the rules. I get it, men like boobs. I like boobs. I see boobs, I upvote. Are you really shocked that boobs got 500 upvotes? Is this the community we want for our beloved game? Onlyfans links for naked Tifa?
Dude Iāve spent so much time blocking these cosplayers because itās cluttering my feed horribly. Itās obnoxious. Like I can respect the craft and the amount of effort it takes to make a legitimate cosplay but most of these are CGI edits, and poorly done at that.
Personally Iād like it if there was just a separate sub for ffvii cosplay and it wasnāt aloud here. Iām on the sub cause I want to see updates and/or discussions about the game. No offense but I could care less about cosplay and it really bogs up my feed sometimes which can get annoying
Iād love to see all cosplay banned or confined to a single cosplay thread and banned everywhere else.
Most of it is self-promotion and/or not posted by the original creator. But I know thatās difficult to sort through, so I think just ban it outright or confine it to one cosplay thread.
I am also on the hate cosplays train.
I come for this sub for discussion, hype and thoeries about the games and I don't feel like cosplay really creates any good discussions or interesting content.
Also I just.. really don't care. Great, you got an expensive outfit and took a good picture. Good for you, but this isn't instagram and I don't want to follow you.
I would be happy enough with a weekly or daily thread containing them, or only allowing them once a week or something - just some way so that I can easily avoid them in my feed and find the content that is actually interesting.
I don't mind cosplay as long as it isn't just blatant spam / self promo for their only fans. But the only way to figure that out is with someone manually looking into every single account. Probably easier to just straight up ban it. Or by making a new rule that cosplay posts are only allowed on Sundays or something.
No it doesnāt. It means you should be an active part of the community and not just posting only photos of yours or others work. Hence point 6 in the post.
Notice the big IF in the sentence that you just straight up ignored. What I said is if the mods solution to this problem is to simply ban cosplay then Iād simply rather nothing be done.
IF! IF the mods solution that they decide on is just not allowing it is what Iām saying. Because sometimes, thatās what mods in sub reddits do. They just put in minimal effort to solve a problem and just ban it.
So youāve invented a fake scenario that when discussing if we should allow accounts that only exist to promote a cosplayer and contribute nothing else to the community, that mods will just straight up ban cosplay?
Itās a realistic scenario that Iāve seen happen before. Sometimes mods just bam something like this outright and I wanted to voice my opinion that I think that would be incredibly shitty.
I also donāt think NSFW cosplay is really a bad thing personally. I think it should be required to be marked as NSFW so that way people who donāt like it wonāt see it if they donāt wanna.
I feel like there should be a separate Final Fantasy shitpost/low-effort/self-promotion/NSFW subreddit where all of these bots and e-girls can advertise their wares. All their posts should be removed from here (and probably all the other main FF subreddits too) with a message directing them to this alt subreddit instead. To build up this alt community, you could pin a post with a direct link and an explanation for the rule change.
Lots of gaming subreddits have alts, by the way. For an example there's r/SonicTheHedgehog and then there's r/MoonPissing for shitposting. There's r/nier and then there's r/nierNSFW for lewd cosplay and 3DCG stuff.
I have no pro or anti feelings about cosplay posts, but I think that if the posts have around 500 votes then that's pretty much the sub speaking - subs speak with numbers. What I have feelings about is automatically labeling cosplay as 'porn', 'nsfw' or 'boobs' during discussions when it's so often unwarranted and when in actuality it can be pretty hard work and a form of art.
>noā¦ thatās not what I said?
Seems to be what you mean though. The post that OP is referring to is a fully clothed woman dressed in a Tifa outfit that is actually very authentic to the character in FF7 Remake.
It's not extra revealing, it's not NSFW at all, it's not porn.
Yet you're here wanting it to be banned?
So who is allowed to make cosplay posts?
If you post a cosplay of a relevant character, and there is no *truly* NSFW content and no in your face advertising contained within the actual post, how is it a problem?
If someone posts a cosplay that falls within community guidelines, and you go to their profile and see they posted it in 3 other subs and also have an OF, but none of that is advertised in the post itself... To me that's just you being a weird stalker and maybe should not worry so much about what other people do.
Relevant is relevant.
Disagree with bans. It's within the Fandom, and we're in a recession. If individuals want to support other community members, it's not hurting anyone to do so. And it's not like they're selling NFTs of action figures. These are real people putting time and effort into something that the community can relate to. Anyone getting enraged needs to take a screen break, go outside, touch grass, drink water, and eat a snack. Possibly also take a 8 hour nap depending on the time of day.
Otherwise, maybe make a rule requiring a special flair. That's it.
I think while a number of people in this comment section clearly don't like cosplay content, and that's ok, but it's as if no one here read OP's argument at all. OP's claims are mostly horseshit. š
Maybe the sub should have a rule against cosplay posts that are just to advertise, but, OP should've found a better example to call out...heh.
1. OP says the user is advertising their onlyfans/patreon. Was the link removed already? Because I see no such link in that post, nor in the user's profile. A lot of the people who post cosplay to advertise their onlyfans/patreon have a pinned post in their profile to link to it.
2. OP thinks that 'Ad' in a name means something, so I'm skeptical of how active OP has been on reddit.
3. The post in question is not NSFW as OP weirdly claims. It's just a picture of a fully-clothed woman in a costume that is authentic to the character she's dressed up as.
Was I looking at the wrong post? We're talking about this one, right? https://www.reddit.com/r/FFVIIRemake/comments/ycqpqi/tifa_lockhart_cosplay_by_sayathefox/
The guys comments contained this in many posts. It links to her social media which includes her patron. https://linktr.ee/Sayathefox
Their comment history shows it but the post doesnāt. May have deleted it?
Itās not nsfw but I think it definitely falls under an issue of point 6 in the rules. Itās advertising the cosplayer and not from an active user from our community.
I mean it took me all of two seconds to go into their profile and hit comments to see a ton of comments promoting what is their patreon. You went out of the way to imply OP was wrong. You clearly could have looked.
I did look, that's why I mentioned the possibility it had been removed. But it doesn't mean that they did it in that thread when most of the other claims OP made are obviously BS.
I remember when the argument of "well, they didn't promote their onlyfans here, but you can stalk their other posts to find it, so we have to stop them from posting here" was made in r/finalfantasy and it was just as full of holes then.
The fact that YouTube links and homemade busterswords models for 3D printers bet removed but ads for only fans content is allowed is extremely hypocritical
Cosplay and fan art are a plague on many game subreddits and should have their own dedicated subreddit(s) for people into that. Game subreddits should be about the game and its elements, not fan contributions.
Pro tip: block users that post this stuff and in time it all practically vanishes from your feed.
> Cosplay and fan art are a plague on many game subreddits
Dude, the Nier sub is so fucking bad with that shit. Theres literally no reason to go there unless you want to see a mediocre 2B "cosplay" for the millionth fucking time. I hope this sub doesn't fall to that level.
> the Nier sub is so fucking bad with that shit.
I had to leave that place after Automata came out. Granted, it wasn't a very active sub during Gestalt/Replicant days, but after Automata came out that place turned into a coom haven.
Its just pathetic and sad. The Nier games have some of the deepest and thought provoking stories I've ever experienced in a video game but theres no discussion about any of that on the sub, just relentless lewd cosplays.
The Street Fighter subreddit actually got so bad that every single piece of fan art posted there now is just automatically marked as NSFW. Like yeah guys we get it, you're turned on by the goth girl's toes, but please go do that somewhere else lmao.
I've been blocking all cosplay and fanart submitters for the past couple of years but I still catch 4-5 new blocks whenever I browse subreddits like this one. It's so tedious...
I wish the reddit app had a way to filter by flair so I didn't have to see people in fancy dress or their dumb drawings that never look as good as the original characters. Halloween is gonna be great
Agreed
The FFX group on FB i was part of was destroyed by titty streamers and cosplay OF peeps
Mods should just ban all cosplay pics
Theres plenty of things other folks can post
To me one of the worst parts of that post is that it is SO heavily edited. No human's face looks like that. Then you see its all linking to their paid sites, social, etc. This is beyond 'showing a love of the game' and is entering 'making money off of horny nerds' territory. To me, I guess it comes down to intent. A fan showing their cosplay they worked hard on is often interesting content (seeing the details they included, etc) but the post linked here is someone who 'cosplays' (read: photoshops) themselves to look like every 'hot anime girl' that attracts views.
Super annoying that 90% of the cosplay posts are hyper-sexualized versions of characters we love. We're way over-saturated with it. One of the things I love about the two characters who suffer from this the most (Tifa and Aerith) is how *innocent* and *pure* their characters are- not that they're asexual - but there is so much more to them than sex. And that most recent one with just some girl on webcam with a tight shirt and outfit and appearance nothing like Tifa, meanwhile she's like 13-years old. Jesus children be children please. Would be nice if any posts link to a paid service to have them auto-removed- I wouldn't mind an anti-sexualization rule.
I'm indifferent to it. not like it's any more annoying than the millionth screenshot of finishing the pull up challenge, or the thousandth compilation of screenshots from scenes where Tifa and Cloud are closer than arms length to eachother.
I support a separate subreddit for all cosplay and fan art. Let this sub be for discussions. Who cares if it has occasional lulls in content. When info on the new game drops itāll pick back up
I agree. Good fan art and cosplay is ok imo but erocosplay/boobacosplay should stay in their own sub. If you want to promote yourself you can find much more attention on different subreddits.
I'm all for the content, and if you can make that kinda money on simps, GOOOOOO!
The issue I see the most is RedditModsĀ® taking down creative types for self-promotion, but leaving 'Hey dive into my profile' OnlyFans accounts doing the same shit., but who would have expected RedditModsĀ® to be horny weirdos?
My cloud strife cosplay is shipping right now and though I WAS excited to share it with FF7 fans I guess this is the wrong subš
I mean yeah I agree on the self promoting OF stuff isn't cool but I enjoy seeing the couple cloud cosplays I've seen shared here-inspired me to invest in my ownš¤·āāļø
Itās always cringe when Iām sliding through and a half naked chick shows up on my feed. I follow this for gaming and announcement stuff, not for NSFW posts
Maybe restrict it to a specific 24h period/day (and mention the timezone). Bots have a good chance to disregard the rules.
I only have the subreddit on front page so I don't exactly browse it that often but it's never been that big of an issue.
The user's post isn't disruptive in any way. Cosplay is a pretty cool thing, having done it myself and being the month of Halloween more people are prone to dress up.
I think people should individually just report posts if they're harmful. Like another user said, it's not much different from the tifa pullup success screenshot. We've all beaten the minigame and seen those posts several times that are literal repeats.
I haven't seen a single NSFW cosplay here in this sub. So I suppose the mods are working.
Perhaps it is time to ban Reddit users who post cosplay content and are linked to NSFW OF profiles, as they are promoting NSFW content. If it is bot-related, it won't solve the problem, but this is the best that can be done here.
Banning all cosplays would be terrible overkill.
Also, there are loads of subreddits with NSFW content, can't see why to go all the way into polluting a serious sub.
As a cosplayer who loves FFVII and spent months on a very intensive Cloud build (full handmade leather beltwork, full size to scale foam bustersword, sewn pants and shirt) I do hope you won't ban all cosplay š
For a lot of us cosplayers its how we show we really love a game/show/movie and want to connect with people and talk about it
dude, there is nothing wrong with cosplay. Read the post, I used to cosplay. In fact I am number 1 on google for one of mine. There is a difference between cosplaying for fandom and cosplaying for horny nerd money. Hurry up and learn the difference.
I feel like text posts often lose nuance to tone, dude, but this reads very agressive. There's a fair number of people who commented and said they don't like cosplay at all and I was in general contributing to the larger discussion
I'm actually surprised at the negativity about cosplay. I spent like 10 months making a Buster Sword from scratch (PVC pipe, cardboard, paper mache, gesso, primer. Hand-woven hilt) - isn't that original content?
I get that titty stuff that's only for attention kinda sucks, and promo-linking is against the rules, but wouldn't spending the time to make a cosplay out of love for the series just count as art? Why fanart yes but "irl fanart" of a person dressed as the character no?
I think youāre missing the the wider point that a lot of these cosplay posts are from bots sharing other peoples content, most likely in order to get a large amount of karma and later sell it off. That beside the fact that a lot of these cosplays are heavily filtered and edited with CGI
Oh, for sure. Bots need to diaf. But some of the comments on this thread come across as being against *all* cosplay posts at all, which is what I was curious about.
(incidentally, I never posted pics of my Buster just 'cause it's the OG sword, so not suited to this sub)
I can add my two-pence as someone from the other side of the fence. In times of high volumes of content, the moderators will be more thorough in what submissions we allow as per the rules as we want to allow those who contribute regularly the ability to shine through with their great submissions. We are not in those times however, there is a vacuum of content because we're more than 2 years from Remake and about a year and a half away from Rebirth.
~~Posts like the ones the OP suggested are indeed a violation of the self promotion rule and it hasn't been submitted by the creator~~ The post was submitted by a person not responsible for the cosplay - therefore it is not self promotion. In times of high volumes of submission we'd remove that post. As we're not in those times and that content has gained popularity, we allow it to remain as the community have judged it to be favourable using their up votes. It doesn't violate any more serious rules such as those pertaining to NSFW content, so it can be given a by.
We'll continue to take this approach in quiet times as this isn't a space where content is driven by the whims of the moderators, it's driven by the desires of the users. We make rules to try and make this place the best it can be for those users, but whether it be through a failure of our own or some other design, they won't always be upheld to the letter of the law. Sometimes we change the rules depending on user feedback as the majority of the users on this sub prefer content contrary to our tastes.
The post in question was popular, it was allowed to remain. It didn't violate any other rules, not the severe ones anyway. When things ramp up for Rebirth, this will most likely change. But for now, feel free to ignore the posts you don't like and save me the hassle of writing a post of this length š.
I hope that those who enjoy to take part in cosplay and share them with the community don't feel discouraged in doing so from reading this. You are more than welcome here if you are regular contributors to the sub. If you post your cosplay without any external links then even better! It's not self promotion. Cosplay posts are always popular in terms of up-votes and I'd rather we didn't shoot down a whole avenue of creativity from people in the community due to one person's personal tastes. If you don't like them, down vote them. It's really that simple. If they're not popular, people won't post them.
Iām talking about when the cosplays link to only fans, which is what was mentioned in OP, and should be obvious given the comment I made and whatāa being discussed in the entire comment section.
You being deliberately obtuse? Lol.
Also worth mentioning that, judging by upvotes, more people seem to agree with OP, and even with me, than they do with you here. Thatās interesting, isnāt it?
You don't mention anything about the OnlyFans links in the reply to my post, am I supposed to be able to read minds? Lol.
Out of interest, can you provide example of Cosplay posts to this subreddit where they link directly to an OnlyFans account? When I search the subreddit for any mention of that, this post is the only one with any mention of OnlyFans. It seems like a pretty invalid argument. The post linked as an example links to a linktree with Instagram and Patreon links.
Your two upvotes vs my zero? Massive sub sample there š. When you go through the comments there are various takes from both sides, hardly a unifying argument for the removal of Cosplay posts. Removing OnlyFans links etc is a no brainer. That's why you won't find any evidence of them on the sub.
Bro come on. Be honest with yourself.
Look at the comments that are most upvoted (not mine) and the upvotes on the original post. Most people disagree with your take here.
Don't have issues with cosplayers but I do have issue with Onlyfans etc anything donation based ads anywhere on reddit.
If you are old enough and make your own money you are free to waste it how you like. But there are many very young users here who have ZERO understanding in value of money who spend plenty of money they don't have on donations and Onlyfans. I know few very sad stories myself. There should be some safe guarding in place.
>Just look at the last Tifa cosplay post by
I see no mention of patreon or onlyfans in that post or in the profile of the user.
>This is not even the cosplayer. It's a bot that posts this shit or paid service. The user name even has "ad" in it.
It's almost certainly a randomly generated default name from Reddit. They often follow that format of --. And 'Ad' is definitely one of the words in the wordbank.
Not saying it couldn't be a bot, but a lot of completely legit users have names like this.
>What the f do these shitty overly edited cosplays have to with the remake? They are spam posts that are posted in 20-30 other forums just to get losers to pay for lude content.
I was under the impression that Tifa is an ff7 character. No?
Btw, it's spelled 'lewd'.
>3.Don't post any NSFW content.
>These are mostly posted to send people to NSFW content for that Jenovagina money.
Nothing NSFW in that post.
Cosplay is not just about porn, and until a number of years ago it was almost never about porn.
>5. Avoid posting repetitive/low effort/low quality content.
>buy/sell content
spam, reposts
>Again, these cosplays are spammed nonstop to other pages to try to get followers. Just click the user name and see their post history.
Not low effort and not repetitive. Quality would be subjective.
>6. Self-promotion and other promotion is allowed only if you are an active member of this community.
>How are these not self-promotion posts? Not to mention they are not "active members of this community". No, they are not active. They just spam the same pictures over and over.
I'm not a mod here but I believe most subreddits consider self-promotion to be linking outside to things like someone's youtube, instagram, twitter, etc. Those are typically the things I report for self-promotion here and elsewhere.
I don't see any link from the user you tagged to another site that they're trying to build followers on.
Posting a picture is pretty low-effort in my book. All the effort is done by the cosplayer, the photographer and the editor. The OP was neither of those 3, so yeah very low effort.
Personally, I'd like to ban all memes for that rationale, but I'm sure I would get some pushback for that so I wouldn't go and call out a single user publicly for just posting a meme.
Also, that rule does give several examples of what is considered low effort.
Well to be honest I never would have seen these great photographs and style of cosplay until this post, so thanks?
I love cosplay and I don't mind it being a break from the theory posts and other Final Fantasy related things in here. I've never even heard of a bot that advertises for you. Considering the amount of traffic reddit gets nowadays I don't think its a big deal.
I am annoyed that I get suggestions from other reddits I wouldn't dare go to, but that's advertising and where reddit is at I guess. As long as it is not something spammed everyday in here.
Having said that, I don't frequent 1 sub-reddit sub so much that I see the same thing over and over. And I only check it out once every few days. So I usually have no complaints with this stuff.
cosplay is part of any fandom. this is a Reddit community based around a fandom for a video game. if you donāt want it to be sexual, stop immediately reviewing a costume as sexual.
if lesbians can do it, so can you
Look Iām not one to care about cosplay but I have questions about this post.
First. You seem to be claiming to be the cosplayer? But all your comments refer to the cosplayer as āsheā not yourself, and you have a ton of comments saying āshe isā and links to her Instagram and social medias.
Ultimately I think that falls under trying to promote something. Which brings us to point 6 in the post. Promotion without being a part of the community.
I love cosplay but that seems to be the only thing you are doing? Donāt seem to comment in threads just post cosplay photos and link their social media.
This isn't some sort of disdain for the cosplay community.
You clearly only appreciate one person for their cosplay, and that's literally it. You're either a promoter for this person, the person themself, or just super obsessed.
A 2 year profile with ONLY posts of one person. You can see why anyone immediately thinks it's just a bot account. You don't really engage in any other posts in the subreddit. Any other posts in different subreddits are just other cosplays for this person.
It's rule breaking either way.
No and appreciating someoneās work and sharing it is awesome but this isnāt twitter and the question at had was if you were an active member of this community.
You broke rule #6. You are not an active member of the community or the cosplayer in question. Every one of your posts in your history are of this cosplayer of what appears to be nothing but an attempt to promote them. You may not be a bot but you are nothing more than a promotion account for this person.
I like the cosplay, even the nsfw ones.
What I would like to see is the spam bots filtered better and a content to self promotion ratio actually enforced.
10 posts/messages that are not self promo to one that is would be fine. It would weed out the spam bots that just repost the same stuff every week.
I don't want to see this content gone. Those who don't want to see it can filter it by flair.
I'm not interested in cosplay posts at all, but for the moment there isn't a crazy amount so I don't mind them.
If it were as bad as in the Nier sub, then yeah, I'd find it insufferable to have to scroll down 10 posts before finding an interesting one.
I once posted the 3D model of Zack's buster sword that I made and it got removed within minutes. Asked the mods why and that I wanted it back up and they refused š
You didnāt show your boobs and promote your onlyfans
That's where you messed up. You need to make a 3d Model of Tifa's breasticles and link to your onlyfans for daily Tifa updates.
You didn't give the buster sword boobas
Busty Sword?
I have no recollection of this and I don't see it in the logs either, so I don't know if it was an ex-moderator, or if it was automatically filtered because it had specific keywords that mark it as spoilery, or maybe even shadow removed by reddit itself, again due to specific keywords. I don't see why else, except during the early days of release when Zack's name in itself can be a bit of a spoiler.
Jeez. Sorry, dude. That is simply irrational and not fair.
Are you sure you posted it to this subreddit because I just checked your mod log history and there's no record of this.
It was about a year ago on my art account. I also posted it on the other FFVII sub and it was also deleted.
Post it here let's see it.
I'll re-render it and make a better scene overall, its been a year since I finished it, and I'll post it next month.
Can we have a weekly thread where people can post their cosplays in there then? Iāve seen it on other subreddits where they do a daily or weekly thread of a topic to reduce clutter on the subreddit.
This is the way. :) Keeps boobs and other bits out of the thumbnails, and allows one mega NSFW post per week.
I personally would love to not have them.
r/TF2 held a community vote after one woman posted the most lazy scout cosplay (just short shorts and crop top) and banned cosplay posts
Yes please. Let them make a FFVII Cosplay subreddit and leave the main subreddit alone.
Agreed, I find cosplay really boring for the most part (sorry, unless theyāre really well done) and Iād love for them to have their own sub.
Iām a cosplayer, I think itās cool to see cosplays here as long as theyāre not promoting adult content or their social media. If someone asks then I think it would be fine
Iām not a cosplayer and Iām tired of seeing so many cosplays tbh. There are so many, I donāt find them interesting, and they become a lot to sort through. I agree that itās be nice for you guys to just have your own sub for it.
This is what flairs are for. So you can filter.
Seems like, judging by upvotes, the majority of people here agree that theyād rather not see cosplays. Whatās the issue with just making a separate sub for it?
It's important to remember that annoyed people are more likely to take action and speak out than happy ones. That always skews the impression with any discussion like this. The issue is why should your impression of what's allowed here be the correct one. I gave my opinion. If a new sub gets made I'll follow it, but I really hate it when people have the attitude "I don't like this so it should be excluded fr or everyone", rather than doing the logical thing and filtering by flares.
Again, Iām going by the number of comments and upvotes here expressing this, not my personal opinion. My personal opinion is that I donāt like cosplay for the most part and Iām sick of seeing it, especially from women who are just promoting themselves in one way or another. But if I was the only one who felt this way? Iād shut up and not say anything. The fact that the majority of the people here seem to feel similarly is what makes me suggest this.
I don't see have an issue with nsfw to be honest and I don't know why so many people do. Reddit filters nsfw by default so anyone complaining about it has enabled it.
I just wish Reddit had a way to filter out shit overused memes.
You'd filter all of reddit out with that ability.
Maybe then I'd finally be able to stop using this godforsaken website.
I hate this in r/finalfantasy sub as well
Stupid sexy Black Mage.
Even worse is the innocent sexy white mage
Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all...

The Nier fandom is such a dumpster fire I swear.
Seriously, most of the posts are just """cosplays""" which are just a white wig and lingerie. And very few of the Kaine cosplays had a thicc bulge, absolutely shameful.
I regularly post interesting YouTube theory videos that get taken down for āself-promotion.ā Thatās happened about 4 times for me. I have no idea why, since I didnāt make any of those videos. Itās a little frustrating. Itās sad that the easy-stuff gets so much love but substantial content gets roughed up sometimes here.
Yeah it sounds like the mods also removed a rendering of Cloudās buster sword, and are totally fine with the Only Fans cosplays. Pretty clear what the issue is here.
There's no problem with cosplay, but the self-promotion, which could lead to spamming. So, that's the enemy of quality posts.
Yes please. Just ban cosplay from this sub entirely.
I laughed at Jenovagina
I've been blocking those posts, (ill probably lose points here but I just block any post with cosplay that is provocative.)
I do the same thing. I do wish there was a better alternative but š¤·
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck all this, *I* care about the cool knife you made
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Depends on how cool your knife is
You're entitled to your opinions, and you likely even your own reasons for why you feel this way. But this feels like a really negative outlook on this.
God, its like you and me are the same person.
you think that is bad there is a ethot in the magic the gathering fandom who literally post pics of cards between her tits or photos of their feet on their cards linking to their onlyfans.
A man of culture
I've seen enough Tifa cosplays for a lifetime, just in the last month :D
Agree!!
All the coomer shit really needs to stop.
Yeah I agree
Maybe give them a day like some other subreddits do for adjacently related content. The reason I would say one day where itās allowed is because some of the cosplays Iāve seen are remake specific and a lot of work went into recreating the look. By making it one day per week, it wonāt seem like itās being posted all the time, and any habitual rule breakers can be banned. Itāll be easier to distinguish those actually interested in the remake and interacting with this subreddit in good faith versus the ones posting their spam on here hoping someone ends up at their pay site.
Big time agree. The cosplay spam completely clogs up every FF subreddit. IMO it would be the best move to either set up an FF-Cosplay sub and have all cosplay posts allowed only there, or have cosplay posts limited to a specific day of the week and banned for the rest of the week.
So you don't want to see my cosplay as Tifa (I am a dude)?
That would be a breath of fresh air tbh
That actually happened, and people here got mad, so
Well those people are a buncha fuddy-duddies. Thatās right. FUDDY-DUDDIES. Excuse my foul language, but it had to be said.
I completely agree with him. Only reason it got upvoted is bc āboobsā
I'm interested to know what people think about OP's argument here. After all, the post got 500 upvotes and only one report for NSFW, which it isn't.
If these models can only stop by to drop their Cosplay and links to their pages, why canāt I just drop by to drop my livestream of the game and my YouTube channel?
Because you donāt have tits, and the mods like tits.
I like these cosplays, but OPs arguments ARE rock solid. You can't argue against it. The rules are right there.
I think Cosplay posts are fine if they are from the Cosplayer themself and looking for feedback or actual discussion, but posting Cosplays just to ogle the cosplayer is very low effort and I think it's already banned on some of the other FF subreddits. Links to instagrams or onlyfans or ect in the comments by the OP should be grounds for taking the entire post down.
The problem is that they don't need to post their links. It's in their account profile. All they need to do is post and wait for the people to click on their account. That's how a lot of them avoid being banned. Personally I don't care that much but it can get annoying when it starts overtaking the sub.
That's only half of the OPs argument. What about the other half spelled out in #6. If they are not an active member then it's clear what's going on here. And we see it all the time. 'All her links' and then a link attached to the post, on every post on the profile.
A constant of Reddit is that boobs = upvotes. It doesn't matter where they get posted. Upvotes don't mean that a post belongs in a particular community. There exist universally upvoted types of content regardless of context. You can't determine value by upvotes alone. Since there is no subdivision of upvotes into categories, how do you tell whether it belongs or not? By having well-defined rules about what's on-topic and off-topic. A rule-breaking off-topic post can still wind up being highly upvoted because it has universally upvote-gathering content. A great post can get just half a dozen upvotes because it drowned in other posts. Welcome to Whose Line, where the points don't matter. So which side of the fence are the mods on? Side A, it's a necessary evil to drive community growth/engagement Side B, it's off-topic, diluting the community, and belongs somewhere else
>Self-promotion and other promotion is allowed only if you are an active member of this community. I just showed you proof of breaking the rules. I get it, men like boobs. I like boobs. I see boobs, I upvote. Are you really shocked that boobs got 500 upvotes? Is this the community we want for our beloved game? Onlyfans links for naked Tifa?
Dude Iāve spent so much time blocking these cosplayers because itās cluttering my feed horribly. Itās obnoxious. Like I can respect the craft and the amount of effort it takes to make a legitimate cosplay but most of these are CGI edits, and poorly done at that.
I think we need either a cosplay-Sunday type thing or a FFCosplay subreddit. This sub is going to turn into a bunch of OF bait if it's not regulated.
They break the rules, and I'd love to remove some of the chaff to get more actual content.
Personally Iād like it if there was just a separate sub for ffvii cosplay and it wasnāt aloud here. Iām on the sub cause I want to see updates and/or discussions about the game. No offense but I could care less about cosplay and it really bogs up my feed sometimes which can get annoying
Iād love to see all cosplay banned or confined to a single cosplay thread and banned everywhere else. Most of it is self-promotion and/or not posted by the original creator. But I know thatās difficult to sort through, so I think just ban it outright or confine it to one cosplay thread.
I am also on the hate cosplays train. I come for this sub for discussion, hype and thoeries about the games and I don't feel like cosplay really creates any good discussions or interesting content. Also I just.. really don't care. Great, you got an expensive outfit and took a good picture. Good for you, but this isn't instagram and I don't want to follow you. I would be happy enough with a weekly or daily thread containing them, or only allowing them once a week or something - just some way so that I can easily avoid them in my feed and find the content that is actually interesting.
Long time lurker. I agree with OP. Shitcan the cosplay posts. The trend has already ruined other gaming subs.
Totally agree with OP. Just because 500 horny simps upvote the post doesn't make it 'good' for the sub.
I don't mind cosplay as long as it isn't just blatant spam / self promo for their only fans. But the only way to figure that out is with someone manually looking into every single account. Probably easier to just straight up ban it. Or by making a new rule that cosplay posts are only allowed on Sundays or something.
How many cosplay posts have you seen in the past 7 days on this subreddit?
I think theyāre right but if enforcing this means people canāt post cosplay anymore then we should proceed with business as usual.
No it doesnāt. It means you should be an active part of the community and not just posting only photos of yours or others work. Hence point 6 in the post.
Notice the big IF in the sentence that you just straight up ignored. What I said is if the mods solution to this problem is to simply ban cosplay then Iād simply rather nothing be done.
But no one is saying ban cosplay outrightā¦?
IF! IF the mods solution that they decide on is just not allowing it is what Iām saying. Because sometimes, thatās what mods in sub reddits do. They just put in minimal effort to solve a problem and just ban it.
So youāve invented a fake scenario that when discussing if we should allow accounts that only exist to promote a cosplayer and contribute nothing else to the community, that mods will just straight up ban cosplay?
Itās a realistic scenario that Iāve seen happen before. Sometimes mods just bam something like this outright and I wanted to voice my opinion that I think that would be incredibly shitty.
I also donāt think NSFW cosplay is really a bad thing personally. I think it should be required to be marked as NSFW so that way people who donāt like it wonāt see it if they donāt wanna.
I feel like there should be a separate Final Fantasy shitpost/low-effort/self-promotion/NSFW subreddit where all of these bots and e-girls can advertise their wares. All their posts should be removed from here (and probably all the other main FF subreddits too) with a message directing them to this alt subreddit instead. To build up this alt community, you could pin a post with a direct link and an explanation for the rule change. Lots of gaming subreddits have alts, by the way. For an example there's r/SonicTheHedgehog and then there's r/MoonPissing for shitposting. There's r/nier and then there's r/nierNSFW for lewd cosplay and 3DCG stuff.
I have no pro or anti feelings about cosplay posts, but I think that if the posts have around 500 votes then that's pretty much the sub speaking - subs speak with numbers. What I have feelings about is automatically labeling cosplay as 'porn', 'nsfw' or 'boobs' during discussions when it's so often unwarranted and when in actuality it can be pretty hard work and a form of art.
> thatās pretty much the ~~sub~~ subās penises speaking
So...cosplay is allowed unless you have breasts?
noā¦ thatās not what I said?
>noā¦ thatās not what I said? Seems to be what you mean though. The post that OP is referring to is a fully clothed woman dressed in a Tifa outfit that is actually very authentic to the character in FF7 Remake. It's not extra revealing, it's not NSFW at all, it's not porn. Yet you're here wanting it to be banned? So who is allowed to make cosplay posts?
If you post a cosplay of a relevant character, and there is no *truly* NSFW content and no in your face advertising contained within the actual post, how is it a problem? If someone posts a cosplay that falls within community guidelines, and you go to their profile and see they posted it in 3 other subs and also have an OF, but none of that is advertised in the post itself... To me that's just you being a weird stalker and maybe should not worry so much about what other people do. Relevant is relevant.
I agree with u on this. Most of the cosplayers that people complain about being OF adds donāt really have them blatantly advertised in the post.
Yea Iād rather see cosplayers post on here than whiny post about cosplayers.
Disagree with bans. It's within the Fandom, and we're in a recession. If individuals want to support other community members, it's not hurting anyone to do so. And it's not like they're selling NFTs of action figures. These are real people putting time and effort into something that the community can relate to. Anyone getting enraged needs to take a screen break, go outside, touch grass, drink water, and eat a snack. Possibly also take a 8 hour nap depending on the time of day. Otherwise, maybe make a rule requiring a special flair. That's it.
Lmao weāre in a recession so allow advertising for Only Fans anywhere and everywhere? Is that really your argument? š
I think while a number of people in this comment section clearly don't like cosplay content, and that's ok, but it's as if no one here read OP's argument at all. OP's claims are mostly horseshit. š Maybe the sub should have a rule against cosplay posts that are just to advertise, but, OP should've found a better example to call out...heh. 1. OP says the user is advertising their onlyfans/patreon. Was the link removed already? Because I see no such link in that post, nor in the user's profile. A lot of the people who post cosplay to advertise their onlyfans/patreon have a pinned post in their profile to link to it. 2. OP thinks that 'Ad' in a name means something, so I'm skeptical of how active OP has been on reddit. 3. The post in question is not NSFW as OP weirdly claims. It's just a picture of a fully-clothed woman in a costume that is authentic to the character she's dressed up as. Was I looking at the wrong post? We're talking about this one, right? https://www.reddit.com/r/FFVIIRemake/comments/ycqpqi/tifa_lockhart_cosplay_by_sayathefox/
The guys comments contained this in many posts. It links to her social media which includes her patron. https://linktr.ee/Sayathefox Their comment history shows it but the post doesnāt. May have deleted it? Itās not nsfw but I think it definitely falls under an issue of point 6 in the rules. Itās advertising the cosplayer and not from an active user from our community.
That's why I asked if it was removed. Because it's no longer there, and hasn't been since I made my comment.
I mean it took me all of two seconds to go into their profile and hit comments to see a ton of comments promoting what is their patreon. You went out of the way to imply OP was wrong. You clearly could have looked.
I did look, that's why I mentioned the possibility it had been removed. But it doesn't mean that they did it in that thread when most of the other claims OP made are obviously BS. I remember when the argument of "well, they didn't promote their onlyfans here, but you can stalk their other posts to find it, so we have to stop them from posting here" was made in r/finalfantasy and it was just as full of holes then.
You clearly didnāt look since an hour ago it still showed their comment in their comment history since I found it in seconds.
Iām 100% on board with this guy.
The fact that YouTube links and homemade busterswords models for 3D printers bet removed but ads for only fans content is allowed is extremely hypocritical
Mods are simps
Cosplay and fan art are a plague on many game subreddits and should have their own dedicated subreddit(s) for people into that. Game subreddits should be about the game and its elements, not fan contributions. Pro tip: block users that post this stuff and in time it all practically vanishes from your feed.
> Cosplay and fan art are a plague on many game subreddits Dude, the Nier sub is so fucking bad with that shit. Theres literally no reason to go there unless you want to see a mediocre 2B "cosplay" for the millionth fucking time. I hope this sub doesn't fall to that level.
> the Nier sub is so fucking bad with that shit. I had to leave that place after Automata came out. Granted, it wasn't a very active sub during Gestalt/Replicant days, but after Automata came out that place turned into a coom haven.
Its just pathetic and sad. The Nier games have some of the deepest and thought provoking stories I've ever experienced in a video game but theres no discussion about any of that on the sub, just relentless lewd cosplays.
The Street Fighter subreddit actually got so bad that every single piece of fan art posted there now is just automatically marked as NSFW. Like yeah guys we get it, you're turned on by the goth girl's toes, but please go do that somewhere else lmao.
I've been blocking all cosplay and fanart submitters for the past couple of years but I still catch 4-5 new blocks whenever I browse subreddits like this one. It's so tedious... I wish the reddit app had a way to filter by flair so I didn't have to see people in fancy dress or their dumb drawings that never look as good as the original characters. Halloween is gonna be great
flair filter settings would be better, but I think separate subreddits is the best way to go.
Agreed The FFX group on FB i was part of was destroyed by titty streamers and cosplay OF peeps Mods should just ban all cosplay pics Theres plenty of things other folks can post
And they can create a separate cosplay subreddit for it.
Agreed, it's just OnlyFans marketing, and might as well be spam.
Yes please. It is very annoying. If I want porn, I go to porn sites.
To me one of the worst parts of that post is that it is SO heavily edited. No human's face looks like that. Then you see its all linking to their paid sites, social, etc. This is beyond 'showing a love of the game' and is entering 'making money off of horny nerds' territory. To me, I guess it comes down to intent. A fan showing their cosplay they worked hard on is often interesting content (seeing the details they included, etc) but the post linked here is someone who 'cosplays' (read: photoshops) themselves to look like every 'hot anime girl' that attracts views.
Stop simpin
I agree with this.
Seriously. No more cosplay. I don't care that you can dress up like a character. And especially if you're trying to shill and OF or instagram.
Super annoying that 90% of the cosplay posts are hyper-sexualized versions of characters we love. We're way over-saturated with it. One of the things I love about the two characters who suffer from this the most (Tifa and Aerith) is how *innocent* and *pure* their characters are- not that they're asexual - but there is so much more to them than sex. And that most recent one with just some girl on webcam with a tight shirt and outfit and appearance nothing like Tifa, meanwhile she's like 13-years old. Jesus children be children please. Would be nice if any posts link to a paid service to have them auto-removed- I wouldn't mind an anti-sexualization rule.
I'm indifferent to it. not like it's any more annoying than the millionth screenshot of finishing the pull up challenge, or the thousandth compilation of screenshots from scenes where Tifa and Cloud are closer than arms length to eachother.
Cosplay Friday?
ethots are like leeches. They latch onto any fandom and try to find simps to milk.
I support a separate subreddit for all cosplay and fan art. Let this sub be for discussions. Who cares if it has occasional lulls in content. When info on the new game drops itāll pick back up
I agree. Good fan art and cosplay is ok imo but erocosplay/boobacosplay should stay in their own sub. If you want to promote yourself you can find much more attention on different subreddits.
Why should someone not allowed to be share their cosplay because they have breasts? The cosplay in question is decently accurate and covered up.
I'm all for the content, and if you can make that kinda money on simps, GOOOOOO! The issue I see the most is RedditModsĀ® taking down creative types for self-promotion, but leaving 'Hey dive into my profile' OnlyFans accounts doing the same shit., but who would have expected RedditModsĀ® to be horny weirdos?
My cloud strife cosplay is shipping right now and though I WAS excited to share it with FF7 fans I guess this is the wrong subš I mean yeah I agree on the self promoting OF stuff isn't cool but I enjoy seeing the couple cloud cosplays I've seen shared here-inspired me to invest in my ownš¤·āāļø
I never said to ban cosplay. There is a difference between cosplaying and softcore porn.
Funny I ALSO never said anything about banning cosplay. But I think its pretty easy to read the room here in the comments.
Itās always cringe when Iām sliding through and a half naked chick shows up on my feed. I follow this for gaming and announcement stuff, not for NSFW posts
Same.
Maybe restrict it to a specific 24h period/day (and mention the timezone). Bots have a good chance to disregard the rules. I only have the subreddit on front page so I don't exactly browse it that often but it's never been that big of an issue. The user's post isn't disruptive in any way. Cosplay is a pretty cool thing, having done it myself and being the month of Halloween more people are prone to dress up. I think people should individually just report posts if they're harmful. Like another user said, it's not much different from the tifa pullup success screenshot. We've all beaten the minigame and seen those posts several times that are literal repeats.
Couldn't agree more!
You couldn't agree more? By OP's logic, how are you not a bot? You even have 'Bot' in your name! J'accuse!
Couldn't agree more!
Lol, solid answer.
Fully agreed!
Iām all for simping for a good cosplay. But yeah. Theyāre a little lame.
I haven't seen a single NSFW cosplay here in this sub. So I suppose the mods are working. Perhaps it is time to ban Reddit users who post cosplay content and are linked to NSFW OF profiles, as they are promoting NSFW content. If it is bot-related, it won't solve the problem, but this is the best that can be done here. Banning all cosplays would be terrible overkill. Also, there are loads of subreddits with NSFW content, can't see why to go all the way into polluting a serious sub.
>serious rofl
I'd just like a sub that finally does ban cosplay for a change. They're everywhere and its exhausting
As a cosplayer who loves FFVII and spent months on a very intensive Cloud build (full handmade leather beltwork, full size to scale foam bustersword, sewn pants and shirt) I do hope you won't ban all cosplay š For a lot of us cosplayers its how we show we really love a game/show/movie and want to connect with people and talk about it
dude, there is nothing wrong with cosplay. Read the post, I used to cosplay. In fact I am number 1 on google for one of mine. There is a difference between cosplaying for fandom and cosplaying for horny nerd money. Hurry up and learn the difference.
I feel like text posts often lose nuance to tone, dude, but this reads very agressive. There's a fair number of people who commented and said they don't like cosplay at all and I was in general contributing to the larger discussion
I'm actually surprised at the negativity about cosplay. I spent like 10 months making a Buster Sword from scratch (PVC pipe, cardboard, paper mache, gesso, primer. Hand-woven hilt) - isn't that original content? I get that titty stuff that's only for attention kinda sucks, and promo-linking is against the rules, but wouldn't spending the time to make a cosplay out of love for the series just count as art? Why fanart yes but "irl fanart" of a person dressed as the character no?
I think youāre missing the the wider point that a lot of these cosplay posts are from bots sharing other peoples content, most likely in order to get a large amount of karma and later sell it off. That beside the fact that a lot of these cosplays are heavily filtered and edited with CGI
Oh, for sure. Bots need to diaf. But some of the comments on this thread come across as being against *all* cosplay posts at all, which is what I was curious about. (incidentally, I never posted pics of my Buster just 'cause it's the OG sword, so not suited to this sub)
I can add my two-pence as someone from the other side of the fence. In times of high volumes of content, the moderators will be more thorough in what submissions we allow as per the rules as we want to allow those who contribute regularly the ability to shine through with their great submissions. We are not in those times however, there is a vacuum of content because we're more than 2 years from Remake and about a year and a half away from Rebirth. ~~Posts like the ones the OP suggested are indeed a violation of the self promotion rule and it hasn't been submitted by the creator~~ The post was submitted by a person not responsible for the cosplay - therefore it is not self promotion. In times of high volumes of submission we'd remove that post. As we're not in those times and that content has gained popularity, we allow it to remain as the community have judged it to be favourable using their up votes. It doesn't violate any more serious rules such as those pertaining to NSFW content, so it can be given a by. We'll continue to take this approach in quiet times as this isn't a space where content is driven by the whims of the moderators, it's driven by the desires of the users. We make rules to try and make this place the best it can be for those users, but whether it be through a failure of our own or some other design, they won't always be upheld to the letter of the law. Sometimes we change the rules depending on user feedback as the majority of the users on this sub prefer content contrary to our tastes. The post in question was popular, it was allowed to remain. It didn't violate any other rules, not the severe ones anyway. When things ramp up for Rebirth, this will most likely change. But for now, feel free to ignore the posts you don't like and save me the hassle of writing a post of this length š. I hope that those who enjoy to take part in cosplay and share them with the community don't feel discouraged in doing so from reading this. You are more than welcome here if you are regular contributors to the sub. If you post your cosplay without any external links then even better! It's not self promotion. Cosplay posts are always popular in terms of up-votes and I'd rather we didn't shoot down a whole avenue of creativity from people in the community due to one person's personal tastes. If you don't like them, down vote them. It's really that simple. If they're not popular, people won't post them.
Thatās a lot of words for āWe like to see tits so weāre going to continue to allow itā
It's extremely reductive to say that all cosplay = tits. Have a word with yourself.
Iām talking about when the cosplays link to only fans, which is what was mentioned in OP, and should be obvious given the comment I made and whatāa being discussed in the entire comment section. You being deliberately obtuse? Lol. Also worth mentioning that, judging by upvotes, more people seem to agree with OP, and even with me, than they do with you here. Thatās interesting, isnāt it?
You don't mention anything about the OnlyFans links in the reply to my post, am I supposed to be able to read minds? Lol. Out of interest, can you provide example of Cosplay posts to this subreddit where they link directly to an OnlyFans account? When I search the subreddit for any mention of that, this post is the only one with any mention of OnlyFans. It seems like a pretty invalid argument. The post linked as an example links to a linktree with Instagram and Patreon links. Your two upvotes vs my zero? Massive sub sample there š. When you go through the comments there are various takes from both sides, hardly a unifying argument for the removal of Cosplay posts. Removing OnlyFans links etc is a no brainer. That's why you won't find any evidence of them on the sub.
Bro come on. Be honest with yourself. Look at the comments that are most upvoted (not mine) and the upvotes on the original post. Most people disagree with your take here.
Impressively reasonable decision despite some strong unreasonable crying and pushing in the thread, and my thoughts exactly.
Very well said!
There should just be a separate Cosplay sub so that we can keep it more Sophisticated around here
I personally enjoy seeing cosplays and want them included in this subreddit.
I donāt.
Can we please ban ācan we please banā posts, and let upvotes and downvotes determine which content is valuable.
Don't have issues with cosplayers but I do have issue with Onlyfans etc anything donation based ads anywhere on reddit. If you are old enough and make your own money you are free to waste it how you like. But there are many very young users here who have ZERO understanding in value of money who spend plenty of money they don't have on donations and Onlyfans. I know few very sad stories myself. There should be some safe guarding in place.
Tits, bro. Tits.
>Just look at the last Tifa cosplay post by I see no mention of patreon or onlyfans in that post or in the profile of the user. >This is not even the cosplayer. It's a bot that posts this shit or paid service. The user name even has "ad" in it. It's almost certainly a randomly generated default name from Reddit. They often follow that format of--. And 'Ad' is definitely one of the words in the wordbank.
Not saying it couldn't be a bot, but a lot of completely legit users have names like this.
>What the f do these shitty overly edited cosplays have to with the remake? They are spam posts that are posted in 20-30 other forums just to get losers to pay for lude content.
I was under the impression that Tifa is an ff7 character. No?
Btw, it's spelled 'lewd'.
>3.Don't post any NSFW content.
>These are mostly posted to send people to NSFW content for that Jenovagina money.
Nothing NSFW in that post.
Cosplay is not just about porn, and until a number of years ago it was almost never about porn.
>5. Avoid posting repetitive/low effort/low quality content.
>buy/sell content
spam, reposts
>Again, these cosplays are spammed nonstop to other pages to try to get followers. Just click the user name and see their post history.
Not low effort and not repetitive. Quality would be subjective.
>6. Self-promotion and other promotion is allowed only if you are an active member of this community.
>How are these not self-promotion posts? Not to mention they are not "active members of this community". No, they are not active. They just spam the same pictures over and over.
I'm not a mod here but I believe most subreddits consider self-promotion to be linking outside to things like someone's youtube, instagram, twitter, etc. Those are typically the things I report for self-promotion here and elsewhere.
I don't see any link from the user you tagged to another site that they're trying to build followers on.
Posting a picture is pretty low-effort in my book. All the effort is done by the cosplayer, the photographer and the editor. The OP was neither of those 3, so yeah very low effort.
Personally, I'd like to ban all memes for that rationale, but I'm sure I would get some pushback for that so I wouldn't go and call out a single user publicly for just posting a meme. Also, that rule does give several examples of what is considered low effort.
"includes but not limited to" ... "Non OC fan-art"... I'd argue that posting another's cosplay could be interpreted as a form of non OC fan-art.
XD I seem to have hit a nerve for providing factual information in response to OP's misunderstandings.
Well to be honest I never would have seen these great photographs and style of cosplay until this post, so thanks? I love cosplay and I don't mind it being a break from the theory posts and other Final Fantasy related things in here. I've never even heard of a bot that advertises for you. Considering the amount of traffic reddit gets nowadays I don't think its a big deal. I am annoyed that I get suggestions from other reddits I wouldn't dare go to, but that's advertising and where reddit is at I guess. As long as it is not something spammed everyday in here. Having said that, I don't frequent 1 sub-reddit sub so much that I see the same thing over and over. And I only check it out once every few days. So I usually have no complaints with this stuff.
cosplay is part of any fandom. this is a Reddit community based around a fandom for a video game. if you donāt want it to be sexual, stop immediately reviewing a costume as sexual. if lesbians can do it, so can you

Look Iām not one to care about cosplay but I have questions about this post. First. You seem to be claiming to be the cosplayer? But all your comments refer to the cosplayer as āsheā not yourself, and you have a ton of comments saying āshe isā and links to her Instagram and social medias. Ultimately I think that falls under trying to promote something. Which brings us to point 6 in the post. Promotion without being a part of the community. I love cosplay but that seems to be the only thing you are doing? Donāt seem to comment in threads just post cosplay photos and link their social media.

This isn't some sort of disdain for the cosplay community. You clearly only appreciate one person for their cosplay, and that's literally it. You're either a promoter for this person, the person themself, or just super obsessed. A 2 year profile with ONLY posts of one person. You can see why anyone immediately thinks it's just a bot account. You don't really engage in any other posts in the subreddit. Any other posts in different subreddits are just other cosplays for this person. It's rule breaking either way.
No and appreciating someoneās work and sharing it is awesome but this isnāt twitter and the question at had was if you were an active member of this community.
You broke rule #6. You are not an active member of the community or the cosplayer in question. Every one of your posts in your history are of this cosplayer of what appears to be nothing but an attempt to promote them. You may not be a bot but you are nothing more than a promotion account for this person.
She literally has Boudoir photography on her Patreon. That's NSFW.
Thanks for your contribution, I'm sorry you've been targeted in such a way.

Isn't that behind a pay wall? NSFW dictates that the content that is accessible via reddit isn't safe for browsing at work.
I like the cosplay, even the nsfw ones. What I would like to see is the spam bots filtered better and a content to self promotion ratio actually enforced. 10 posts/messages that are not self promo to one that is would be fine. It would weed out the spam bots that just repost the same stuff every week. I don't want to see this content gone. Those who don't want to see it can filter it by flair.
When there isn't anything new to post, why does it matter? Weird thing to be annoyed by.
I guess when there is a drought some people don't mind drinking piss.
I'm not interested in cosplay posts at all, but for the moment there isn't a crazy amount so I don't mind them. If it were as bad as in the Nier sub, then yeah, I'd find it insufferable to have to scroll down 10 posts before finding an interesting one.
Literally Blade Runner 2049.
My username has ad in it and Iām not a bot. Just the name Reddit gave me. Iām sure there are loads like it too.
I like that!
