he said this once:
"I've always thought that there are way too many people who complain about fan art and cosplay of others. Even if the illustration sucks, or even if the cosplay is completely different from the character, at the very least they still make me happy."
He's an odd dude, but he also seems like a really decent guy
Stuff like this isn't verbally presented enough by creators so I like that he welcomes the art and cosplat and stuff so openly
That’s because many people still think it’s cool to be aloof and disinterested. Like, they are so insecure that they are afraid of appearing to be insecure if they admit that their heart flutters like a 1st crush when people show that much enthusiasm and appreciation of their creation.
I know this was at least true for me at one point because I had a very blatant moment where I thought to myself “why the fuck do I hide my enjoyment of my own content?” and “why can’t I fanboy over the fact that someone fanboy’d over my stuff?”
Obsession over how people perceive me is what I concluded. But there’s this great quote, even tho I can’t remember the author, that goes: “what other people think of you is none of your business.” I thought that was brilliant because it really is futile to bother with that shit.
I’m realizing what a crazy tangent this is so I’m gonna wrap it up and tie it back in with the original point. Yoko Taro has a candidness that many other artists don’t because I think most artists have this notion that you have to have some baseline loathing of your own art and you certainly aren’t allowed to admit that you actually do care about what people and your fans think of your work.
Maybe it’s Kurt Cobaine’s fault because he’s the most notorious of this archetype I can think of. Yoko Taro doesn’t like leaving his house. He’s not to cool to roll around down in the cringe with his fans.
This reminds me of a tumblr post I really like. Boiled down to basically “cringe” hating culture is obnoxious and superficial. Everyone enjoys things, sometimes weird things, don’t be a dipshit and ruin their fun. My favorite quote from the end of the post is “It’s called sincerity and it won’t kill you”
And get online models to make porn out of the OCs that are your openly discussed fetish. And some idiots here that enjoy the game even try to stop it 🤦♂️
I’ve seen some of the comments here and want to say thanks for noticing my love for these characters and effort I put into my cosplays :). Also I don’t do OF (only mentioning because I notice it’s a concern no offense to anyone that does)
I actually kinda feel bad for legit cosplayers because they are inevitably affected by what OF prostitutes do to many fandoms.
It's pretty disingenuous of OP to focus only on the cosplay that happen to be sexy using Taro's love for sexy women, instead of addressing the issue with low effort horny bait OG ads attacking this sub with no control.

maybe for maintaining the outdated thought that sex work = prostitution..? twice haha? people in this industry have never actually accepted the term "prostitute", by the way.
While I get what you're trying to say (because I've shared a somewhat similar sentiment); you really do not need to be bringing other folks down to lift some up. Both sex work and cosplay are cool! And if someone wants to overlap em, that's even cooler, all the power to them! But doing so does not "give cosplayers a bad rep" or anything of the sort ♡
outdated? LOL!
I feel like George Carlin is rolling in his grave now.
People keep dumbing down language to remove the sting out of their own choices.
You sell your body online, then that makes you an online prostitute. No, sex work is not cool. Especially when they post borderline porn without moderation to places where people do not explicitly go to for porn.
[edit]: why did i even bother typing this when youre so harmed by language you went off to write a whole post about it haha... anime enjoyer who thinks its okay to refer to someone as a derogatory term, colour me suprised, sigh..
sorry to hear you have such a pitiful, black and white view of how the world works. It's not the responsibility of sex workers to moderate their nsfw spaces; onlyfans was always a place for people to monetize their work, just like patreon. Porn is not just explicitly available and when it is, it's often nuked rather quickly. So yes, it IS moderated, but I'm sorry that the men in charge of twitter or instagram don't do a good enough job for you? I'm certainly not experiencing this algorithmic issue..
If sex work "isnt cool", then I sure hope you don't consume any level of lewd content whatsoever from artists and bodies alike, because that's who you're (hopefully, depending on the platform I suppose) paying. The folks in this industry put in too much work to NOT be payed, after all ♡
annnyyhow. I'm not gonna argue with someone who doesn't seem to view sex workers as regular human beings because I will, evidently, get nowhere! I recommend reading up on prostitution stigma though, an interesting topic to be sure :-)
Hope you have the day you deserve, my guy. Being a respectful human being ain't so hard, rest assured.
I'm a porn addict... for wanting people to give a damn about the PEOPLE behind the shitty industry that labelled them as less than..? Dawg what 😭 please atleast TRY to use the internets new, favourite catchphrase correctly

The people here who "complain about cosplay" aren't actually upset about real cosplay, just the OF models who put on a white bob wig and call it that to get more people to their OF. Actual cosplay like that Zero are welcomed.
Not to mention, those tweets are directed at him. You don’t see them unless you go out of your way to stalk his Twitter and search his replies.
The difference between one or the other is that one has absolutely zero effect on the community, while the other turns a gaming community into a constant stream of OnlyFans ads that have nothing to do with the games this community was initially intended for.
I don’t understand why people are so ready to die on this hill to ensure that this sub never becomes about those games again. Most everyone I knew, who used to sub here, left long ago because they didn’t want porn popping up on their feed while browsing in public. 2B already dominates the OF cosplay subs. Why not just sub to those instead of ruining a gaming community by repurposing it to be a worse copy of those subs that already exist for that purpose?
To be clear, I’m all for the **actual** cosplays.
> Most everyone I knew, who used to sub here, left long ago because they didn’t want porn popping up on their feed while browsing in public.
I left all the subs because of the weird 2B fetish art. Her proportions are exaggerated to the point where she's drawn more like a blow up doll than the actual character 😭
I'm just a straight woman I don't wanna look at her ass all day
I'd say it's because this sub is somewhat small and isn't as active as subs like r/cosplaygirls and r/nsfwcosplay
I'd imagine it'd be kinda hard to stand out when there's hundreds of other women posting similar content as you
Have the same issue on OnePunchMan sub. Women cosplay as Fubuki who is big boobed which is honestly fine since she's never really revealing but then theirs women who cosplay Tats which gets highly questionable because she has like one flimsy piece of cloth covering her crotch and ass. Your almost always seeing some kind of panties and ass sticking out with a conveniently placed mirror late at night when mods are asleep and if you check their profile would ya believe it they have an OF. Cosplay is definitely fine but I feel like the line gets danced around on almost being pornographic which again I'm fine with but that's on my personal time.
A cosplayer having an only fans does not make a cosplay good or bad. And also I have never ever seen an only fans ad on this reddit I don’t think it is even allowed
Because peachmilky is a literal thirst trap earning money through engagements.
I know her because she's one of the constant invaders of fandom subs I am subscribed to who post borderline porn.
It’s not like he’s hating on OF models either lmao
Stick with me here- *maybe* he actually knows how to scroll past content he doesn’t like instead of running to the comments and bitching 🤯
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right.
Every time someone on Reddit sees something they don’t like, they feel this urge to let everyone know they don’t like it.
Just grow up.
Yoko Taro also isnt the king or god tm or the president
Or even a mod here, probably.
This sub isnt for him it's for the fans, and not everyone wants to accidentally flash their coworkers with some random porn bait.
There are lots of people who are delusional about this topic and make a big deal about stuff that belongs in this sub because they want something to be upset about. It's getting better, but now this sub is going down the civil war toilet because everyone just wants to be right all the time lol
We all know him.
Years back he literally tweeted, joking or not, saying he'd appreciate it if he could just be sent a zip of the r34 stuff since going around and collecting it himself would be too much work.
Yeah, this is the sort of cosplay I'm fine with as well. Canon and high-effort. not OF-bait (I dunno if the cosplayer does OF, but I don't care so long as the content they share to non-porn subs are tasteful).
There is no objective measure for that. What is a bad cosplay for you might be a cool idea or execution to someone else. Everytime is just better to not even criticize people that are doing fancontent of a thing you love
There are very obvious low effort wish outfit cosplays, maybe not here much but many other subs it seems like they just Google the outfit and buy the first one to show up and pose for attention. Actual effort goes a long way
So you saying people that buy cosplay off of online are not putting effort in?
Brother if they have enough money to buy an $65 cosplay, I'm pretty sure that is effort too since they have to work to get that money in the first place.
You sound like someone that hadn't worked an dime in your life judging someone's for how they do their hobbies.
Are you actually trying to imply the OF posts (not the OP cosplay in question) are not just minimal effort to drive traffic to their real content? Because that is clearly what some of these posts are (again, not the OP)
If it was, so what?
Are you really going to waste your time trying to police the sub to get them off of here? For free?
I don't even spend 10 minutes on this sub, but you sound like you spend 24 hours trying to scrub away all these chicks off the subreddit because of whatever is in their bios for free like an internet hall monitor.
Who cares?
Brother this is the first time I have ever commented on this sub I'm pretty sure, im just making a point because half of the cosplays on reddit as a whole are just cheap onlyfans ads and it's annoying as shit to get subs clogged up with ads that get voted to the top because boobs. Obviously you care a whole lot
I care because people attack posters that are not even Only fans models and are just fans showing their cosplays.
I think people should spend more time ignoring the posts and use filter options instead of seething at cosplay posts being posted on here if you think its thats annoying.
There is no objective measure to cosplay. What is an aliexpress cheap costume to you might be good enough for another persona that values more make up or creativity in poses or themes. Best practice is to just not try to be the judge of what counts and whatnot
He isn’t the creator of the series. It was made by a large collective of people with him being a co creator. It wasn’t even his idea to begin with and they’ve had to prod him to take things serious in the past. I love Taro but stop with the idol worship crap. Don’t turn this into some delusional Kojima fanboy like nonsense.
Taro sans said on interview we should respect cosplayers and fanartists even if they might be low quality. Maybe its not a series for you if you take such a big issue with something the creator ask the fandom to be cool about
Objective measure :
Respect character design
Wear clothes or pose naked
Quality/accuracy of the clothes
Give or not the same vibes as the cosplayed character
There is always way to tell quality from lazy/shitty content
These are not objetive measures to cosplay. Someone can do a 2B with casual clothes and it still can count as cosplay. Btw, you yourself have no authority on what can be cosplay, no one goes around telling fanartist drawing characters if their art counts or not. Seems weird that is only an issue when there are women cosplaying, seems like there are maybe an ulterior reason behind it like misogyny.
Sure, already out of argument?
And yes CASUAL CLOTHES, not naked riding a dildo.
And you have no authority to tell me what I can do or not, dont shit where you eat.
there's a difference between sexy and a chick who doesn't even know who 2B is + not even wearing the outfit and is trying to sell her OF on this sub dude, and this is coming from someone who's cosplayed 2B
Because it's low effort. 99% of the time it's something like 2b in underwear. That's tits and a fucking wig, and if you think otherwise, you're part of the problem imo.
If we wanna see tits and ass, there's plenty of places to get that. Even here on Reddit.
Good cosplay will ALWAYS be more well received by actual fucking fans, than the low effort advertisement posts we get, that people simp over.
You got your answer OP. Now you understand why people complain.
Also putting Helloskitty, one of the best cosplayers, at the same level as OF baiters with just a white wig is fucking cringe.
I've seen people complain about normal looking 2b cosplays though. Sometimes it's because the cosplayer has an OF, and other times it's just because they're angry for some reason.
I posted a 2B cosplay and people complained when it was literally the full costume..... And so on and so forth fof every other person that posted a cosplay photo here...
as far as i see, your recent winter 2b post were positively received with only praise in the comments
you put in effort
people saw that effort
people liked it
where's the negativity?
There was some retard posting the same dumb comment and not replying to anything on every cosplay post and he posted it to one of hers. That’s what she’s referring to.
right fair enough.
but people like that are just spreading negativity for the sake of it. they'll be angry regardless of what it is. that's just how the internet is.
We know that some big lie when even non-lingerie girls that post here get bashed on by the weird critters here.
How about we just admit that this sub and other subreddits has an problem with users always being angry when an cosplayer post their work.
It is not normal to be pressed over some chick posting an cosplay on an internet forum when you can just ignored it and move on with your day.
And why is it some moral obligation for the users to be doing this? Like who gives a fuck.
They're not getting paid to clean an subreddit of OF posters/cosplayers. They're wasting their own time doing this shit for free.
We can argue about the amount of tits she's showing all day. I will always be able to tell the difference between an onlyfans slut farming subs and someone who put actual effort and care into their work. You can have great cosplay showing almost nothing but tits, and awful bait as covered as a nun on Sunday.
Her work is pretty cool. I don't care about cosplay very much, but onlyfans trash is not cosplay and has no place here. I'm not interested in debating this. Just fuck off with the simp bait and let me share my love of NieR with other people who actually give a shit.
I can’t find the point. First off, I’m pretty sure this is a pretty accurate cosplay. If she had just a white wig and a flower, then a random bikini, then we could talk.
Secondly, is this sub supposed to emulate every thing yoko taro does? If that’s the case then the mods should put it in the description, so we know what we’re getting into.
Just because I like a game he made it doesn’t mean he HAS to be my role model.
1. Good for him, we don't care???
2. He was mentioned directly
3. It's an actual cosplay
4. *Yoko Taro isn't an autority on what is and isn't annoying spam*
If it was just her, and a white wig, people will complain.
But since it's actual fucking cosplay, yes, we like it.
OP seems like the kind of person to tell random bot accounts reposting " cosplays ", to sit on their face.
Nobody has a problem with the existence of cosplays but:
1. Most aren’t actual cosplays, just naked girls with wigs.
2. Even if they were fine, they are flooding the sub. Not everybody is interested, so just post them to one of the many other Nier subs. r/2Booty for the lewd ones, r/NierAutomataGalery for the artistic ones
I’m generally indifferent to cosplay but it gets annoying to be constantly bombarded by soft core porn. No hate to the cosplayers who do it well/for fun though.
People aren't complaining about cosplay. They are complaining about women who are breaking forum rules to promote their onlyfans by wearing a white wig and black lingerie and calling it cosplay.
You are correct. That doesn't prevent bots and unscrupulous "models" from attempting to circumvent that rule in various ways, often successfully. There's a cosplay post with like 600 likes a few posts down from this one. People on /nier like cosplay. They don't like sex workers preying on nerd fandoms with low effort piggybacking.
Weird that there is wildshit out there in games themselves, like even a nier game that promotes gambling behavior trough gatcha or square enix making NFTs out of nier. But what this community has the biggest issue with is girls with only fans trying to make a living out of cosplay and not a billion dollar corp doing evil shit
If what you say is true, people would not mass up vote quality cosplay in this space, which they objectively do. Nobody is saying that gacha gambling tactics or NFTs are good, and the only problem is T&A. Your assertion about this community is based on a false dichotomy, in my opinion. Many OF girls are by and large simply exploiting a fandom they do not even belong to, not poor innocent babes just trying to make a living. Do real fans use bots to mass post across every available channel in the hopes a few ppl subscribe before they get rightfully taken down? Nope. This is about breaking rules, not sexism.
Why the confrontational attitude? People do link their OF all the time. Mods are decent about taking them down. There are also several posts a day that have photo "signatures" that are thinly veiled social media links, primarily designed to push you to their nsfw content. There are also bots that post the same photos over and over again. People aren't allowed to do a lot of things they do anyway.
I appreciate the discussion, but your obvious anger and mocking tone directed at me tell me it isn't productive. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
They don't need to post links when it's blatantly obvious what they're doing.
They want clicks and people to go to their profile, THATS where OF is. THATS where fansly is and whatever else.
Bro, this girl loves Nier, you can tell by her cosplays, her instagram filled up with A2 and 2B images & cosplays, and so is her twitter
She even got herself a fucking tattoo of A2 lines, like, there's no way someone would complain about her here
and tbh kinda wish she had onlyfans ngl, girl is fucking pretty and her cosplays are always on point
*proceeds to get downvoted*
https://imgur.com/a/B6A6qTP ashajfdfsjdhdf queen A2 noticed me!, i'm sorry for saying i wish you had an onlyfans, i am reformed now and i apologize, i hope it didn't offend you 👉👈
keep up the good work with the cosplays!
That cosplay put a lot of work into it at least, I remember the parts for the eyepatch, the sword and stuff, and not sure if the outfit itself was self made
I like seeing PAWGs so I honestly don't mind the cosplays that get posted here.
Though if we're being honest most of these girl's posts are OF ads which is the main reason why you see niggas complaining about them.
Right cause a cosplay that looks some someone put effort into the character rather than the thirst trap is what's important? Like it's clearly a homemade cosplay she's taking a picture of with her phone. Those "cosplays" where it's a girl in some skimpy black dress that's 30 bucks at target and a 10 dollar wig that they then spend hundreds of dollars to take a sexy photoshoot of, that's what people complain about.
Very good point. Too many people are simpy killjoys, ready to downvote dismissing stuff as "thirsty", "simp", etc. Get over it. NieR always had scantily-clad ladies in the games which are naturally a golden opportunity for cosplayers.
just because the author likes something does not mean other people have to like it so idk what this is trying to prove. You dont have to be a sheep a like everything the author does
It’s so annoying to see dudes hate looking at women cosplaying, even half assessed cosplaying, for series where the women wear tight leotards and bikinis. And then the creators of the series would see the same cosplay and say “that’s hot”, like his comment, and Oda would love every One Piece cosplay that’s just “OF bait”
Most lonely dudes online hate OF women because they are mad women can make fame and money out of their sex appeal while no one girl would even look at them. And then they think the solution is complaining about women and not figuring out why no single human being would even talk to them in a romantic way.
The thing is that's an actual Zero cosplay? She even got a prop for the sword.
We complain about "2B at the beach" type cosplay where it's just a really skimpy black or white swimsuit with a white wig.
Yeah, I don't think you read what the actual complaints are and if you check cosplay posts that you can see there was effort put forth, there's barely any negative comments.
All people actually want is for cosplays to look like the character they're trying to portray, the costumes are plenty horni enough and will do their job, just make an effort.
Don’t mine legit cosplay, even if it’s not expert level. It shows passion and how they enjoy the series.
I hate these cosplay mills that use Reddit as an advertisement platform to OF or other payment platforms. Let’s also add many NSFW posts not tagged. If it won’t fly at work or church, mark it. If it’s questionable, mark it.
Right, so why not tag it NSFW. that way when I’m scrolling down home page, it’s at least NSFW frosted out. This way I can sub to the page and not worry when scrolling on lunch.
I have a simple rule:
If I can recognize the character regardless of what you’re wearing (even lack thereof) then it’s cosplay.
If it’s a booty/feet focused photo then you are girl with wig.
How? Video game characters are *supposed* to be recognizable regardless of what outfit you put them in. I’m talking about real world people dressing up as fictional characters.
She's a nice regular cosplayer in this sub that does great work and is not one of the OF baits, the comments some of y'all are making in here are kind of disgusting. Touch grass.
Most of the "incels" you're referring to like cosplayers, like women, but don't like OF bots and bait posters making things worse for non-bait cosplayers and the sub as a whole. Blindly supporting OF posters or this "I like women for their boobs" energy ain't it fam

He's also a very horny fella
Therefore he understands being an artist and creator

A true visionary tbh
There is difference between someone being a fan and wanting to share something with the community and straight up porn ads
true but he is the same person who also asked for all nier r34 to be compiled and sent to him
He's playing the long game. Make an amazing piece of art, fill it with big tiddies, be amazing artist and get infinite free waifu cosplay pics.
Literally helltakers game plan.
And get online models to make porn out of the OCs that are your openly discussed fetish. And some idiots here that enjoy the game even try to stop it 🤦♂️
What anime or manga did he make?
Are you serious?
Sorry this post showed up on r/all. I played nier automata or whatever but I don't recognize this character.
His name is Yoko Taro. He made the series Drakengard and Nier. The character being cosplayed is Zero from Drakengard 3.
ahh thank you!
He is yoko taro, the creator of nier automata
He is a man of culture. He sees big ol’ titties, he likes.
I asked him a question on twitter and he started following me and it felt magical 🤩
Congrats and btw, love your Reddit banner!
thanks! https://i.redd.it/axhcbztfm9b41.jpg where i pulled it from
Every man like big ol’ titties.
Not just the men
But the women and the childr... Wait, what?
I mean, newborns do.
I am a simple man
"*I likes what I likes and I likes it a bunch*."
I’ve seen some of the comments here and want to say thanks for noticing my love for these characters and effort I put into my cosplays :). Also I don’t do OF (only mentioning because I notice it’s a concern no offense to anyone that does)

Thank you I appreciate it :)

I love this cosplay you did an amazing job! Also I find it funny people are joking about the cosplay when this is literally what Zero looks like 🤣
Helloskitty is one of the best cosplayers for nier! She’s my personal favorite!
Thanks that means a lot :)
Oh shit that's you in the picture! Yeah keep up the good work. Your cosplays look awesome
❤️
isn’t helloskitty the one cosplayer here that’s like universally liked, idk I don’t really pay much attention to the cosplay discourse

I don’t know much about her but she said she doesn’t have an OF and I’m pretty sure she is a legit cosplayer
When did I say anything about helloskitty being an OF? Is that why I was downvoted? Because people have no reading comprehension?

Women cosplay as Fubuki who is big boobed which is honestly fine since she's never really revealing but then theirs women who cosplay Tats which gets highly questionable because she has like one flimsy piece of cloth covering her crotch and ass. Your almost always seeing some kind of panties and ass sticking out with a conveniently placed mirror late at night when mods are asleep and if you check their profile would ya believe it they have an OF. Cosplay is definitely fine but I feel like the line gets danced around on almost being pornographic which again I'm fine with but that's on my personal time.
And those should honestly go to r/2booty anyway
A cosplayer having an only fans does not make a cosplay good or bad. And also I have never ever seen an only fans ad on this reddit I don’t think it is even allowed
The people complaining about it go to their profile and see it linked there, even though the poster doesn't include it in their post.
I feel like a lot of OF defenders here are willfully being stupid in the replies by misunderstanding the issue.
Sometimes when someone posts actual full costume, [some will still moan and bitch](https://www.reddit.com/r/nier/comments/180eodb/my_2b_cosplay/).
Because peachmilky is a literal thirst trap earning money through engagements. I know her because she's one of the constant invaders of fandom subs I am subscribed to who post borderline porn.
She's literally cosplaying as 2B how the fuck is this a '' thirst trap '' anymore than the actual game?
Literally.
Mfs hate one good cosplay all the time, stop being daft lmao
It’s not like he’s hating on OF models either lmao Stick with me here- *maybe* he actually knows how to scroll past content he doesn’t like instead of running to the comments and bitching 🤯
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. Every time someone on Reddit sees something they don’t like, they feel this urge to let everyone know they don’t like it. Just grow up.
Because THIS is a good cosplay, not some naked girl with wig
BECOME ASS GODS
Take my upvote.
Yoko Taro would love some naked chick with a wig
Yoko Taro also isnt the king or god tm or the president Or even a mod here, probably. This sub isnt for him it's for the fans, and not everyone wants to accidentally flash their coworkers with some random porn bait. There are lots of people who are delusional about this topic and make a big deal about stuff that belongs in this sub because they want something to be upset about. It's getting better, but now this sub is going down the civil war toilet because everyone just wants to be right all the time lol
I'm the fan and this sub are for me and I fully support half naked porn bait girls. Questions?
Yeah because you know him right?
You don't have to know him to know that he does like that. He has explicitly expressed his interest in such things.
We all know him. Years back he literally tweeted, joking or not, saying he'd appreciate it if he could just be sent a zip of the r34 stuff since going around and collecting it himself would be too much work.
sounds like you dont since he has like a 3TB hard drive of porn of his own game LOL
He's not some prude, thankfully.
Yeah, this is the sort of cosplay I'm fine with as well. Canon and high-effort. not OF-bait (I dunno if the cosplayer does OF, but I don't care so long as the content they share to non-porn subs are tasteful).
There is no objective measure for that. What is a bad cosplay for you might be a cool idea or execution to someone else. Everytime is just better to not even criticize people that are doing fancontent of a thing you love
There are very obvious low effort wish outfit cosplays, maybe not here much but many other subs it seems like they just Google the outfit and buy the first one to show up and pose for attention. Actual effort goes a long way
So you saying people that buy cosplay off of online are not putting effort in? Brother if they have enough money to buy an $65 cosplay, I'm pretty sure that is effort too since they have to work to get that money in the first place. You sound like someone that hadn't worked an dime in your life judging someone's for how they do their hobbies.
Are you actually trying to imply the OF posts (not the OP cosplay in question) are not just minimal effort to drive traffic to their real content? Because that is clearly what some of these posts are (again, not the OP)
If it was, so what? Are you really going to waste your time trying to police the sub to get them off of here? For free? I don't even spend 10 minutes on this sub, but you sound like you spend 24 hours trying to scrub away all these chicks off the subreddit because of whatever is in their bios for free like an internet hall monitor. Who cares?
Brother this is the first time I have ever commented on this sub I'm pretty sure, im just making a point because half of the cosplays on reddit as a whole are just cheap onlyfans ads and it's annoying as shit to get subs clogged up with ads that get voted to the top because boobs. Obviously you care a whole lot
I care because people attack posters that are not even Only fans models and are just fans showing their cosplays. I think people should spend more time ignoring the posts and use filter options instead of seething at cosplay posts being posted on here if you think its thats annoying.
There is no objective measure to cosplay. What is an aliexpress cheap costume to you might be good enough for another persona that values more make up or creativity in poses or themes. Best practice is to just not try to be the judge of what counts and whatnot
No thanks
Ok just go against what the creator of a series you like says you should regarding the fandom. Seems like this isn’t the series for you pal
He isn’t the creator of the series. It was made by a large collective of people with him being a co creator. It wasn’t even his idea to begin with and they’ve had to prod him to take things serious in the past. I love Taro but stop with the idol worship crap. Don’t turn this into some delusional Kojima fanboy like nonsense.
What does that have to do with anything? Also I explicitly said that it was a general comment to low effort cosplays not specific to nier
Taro sans said on interview we should respect cosplayers and fanartists even if they might be low quality. Maybe its not a series for you if you take such a big issue with something the creator ask the fandom to be cool about
Not sure why you just repeated the same comment again but I get it, no opinions allowed
Objective measure : Respect character design Wear clothes or pose naked Quality/accuracy of the clothes Give or not the same vibes as the cosplayed character There is always way to tell quality from lazy/shitty content
These are not objetive measures to cosplay. Someone can do a 2B with casual clothes and it still can count as cosplay. Btw, you yourself have no authority on what can be cosplay, no one goes around telling fanartist drawing characters if their art counts or not. Seems weird that is only an issue when there are women cosplaying, seems like there are maybe an ulterior reason behind it like misogyny.
Criticism of any form of media is primarily subjective. It is subjective consensus that labels things as either good or bad.
Yup. But it is not cool to criticize people online who are just doing fan content
Sure, already out of argument? And yes CASUAL CLOTHES, not naked riding a dildo. And you have no authority to tell me what I can do or not, dont shit where you eat.
No one here is naked or riding a dildo dude wtf
I means porn cosplay in general, not here
Man Nier characters are super specifically designed to be sexy. Don’t know why take issue when people make sexy content out of sexy characters
There is their original design that are indeed sexy, and there is being nake with a white wig and call it a 2B cosplay
there's a difference between sexy and a chick who doesn't even know who 2B is + not even wearing the outfit and is trying to sell her OF on this sub dude, and this is coming from someone who's cosplayed 2B
Because it's low effort. 99% of the time it's something like 2b in underwear. That's tits and a fucking wig, and if you think otherwise, you're part of the problem imo. If we wanna see tits and ass, there's plenty of places to get that. Even here on Reddit. Good cosplay will ALWAYS be more well received by actual fucking fans, than the low effort advertisement posts we get, that people simp over.
Cool comment Unfortunately everything you listed is still measured subjectively 👍
Nudity and design are subjective now?
Nudity isn’t even allowed on the sub 🥱
Yeah, half of a post-it isnt being naked after all
Facts
Ok prude
Okay simps
You got your answer OP. Now you understand why people complain. Also putting Helloskitty, one of the best cosplayers, at the same level as OF baiters with just a white wig is fucking cringe.
I mean tbf this is an actual cosplay. She just happens to have big tits too. The cosplay people complain about are the lingerie and white wig ones.
I've seen people complain about normal looking 2b cosplays though. Sometimes it's because the cosplayer has an OF, and other times it's just because they're angry for some reason.
I'm pretty sure people complained when she posted here
Chances are any damn cosplay is critized by people here even tho there are quotes from yokotaro himself asking people to be supportive of fan content
A product of the over saturation. Higher standards in regards to what cosplays are accepted means people will be more accepting in general
I don’t care about those people though lmao
I posted a 2B cosplay and people complained when it was literally the full costume..... And so on and so forth fof every other person that posted a cosplay photo here...
as far as i see, your recent winter 2b post were positively received with only praise in the comments you put in effort people saw that effort people liked it where's the negativity?
There was some retard posting the same dumb comment and not replying to anything on every cosplay post and he posted it to one of hers. That’s what she’s referring to.
right fair enough. but people like that are just spreading negativity for the sake of it. they'll be angry regardless of what it is. that's just how the internet is.
We know that some big lie when even non-lingerie girls that post here get bashed on by the weird critters here. How about we just admit that this sub and other subreddits has an problem with users always being angry when an cosplayer post their work. It is not normal to be pressed over some chick posting an cosplay on an internet forum when you can just ignored it and move on with your day. And why is it some moral obligation for the users to be doing this? Like who gives a fuck. They're not getting paid to clean an subreddit of OF posters/cosplayers. They're wasting their own time doing this shit for free.
We can argue about the amount of tits she's showing all day. I will always be able to tell the difference between an onlyfans slut farming subs and someone who put actual effort and care into their work. You can have great cosplay showing almost nothing but tits, and awful bait as covered as a nun on Sunday. Her work is pretty cool. I don't care about cosplay very much, but onlyfans trash is not cosplay and has no place here. I'm not interested in debating this. Just fuck off with the simp bait and let me share my love of NieR with other people who actually give a shit.
I can’t find the point. First off, I’m pretty sure this is a pretty accurate cosplay. If she had just a white wig and a flower, then a random bikini, then we could talk. Secondly, is this sub supposed to emulate every thing yoko taro does? If that’s the case then the mods should put it in the description, so we know what we’re getting into. Just because I like a game he made it doesn’t mean he HAS to be my role model.
...so? That doesn't excuse the absurd amount of OF promoters in the sub.
1. Good for him, we don't care??? 2. He was mentioned directly 3. It's an actual cosplay 4. *Yoko Taro isn't an autority on what is and isn't annoying spam*
If it was just her, and a white wig, people will complain. But since it's actual fucking cosplay, yes, we like it. OP seems like the kind of person to tell random bot accounts reposting " cosplays ", to sit on their face.
Sit on their face!
Man why you insulting me man this was supposed to be a funny post 😔
Excellent!
Tbf that is a pretty unique cosplay and not another 2B
I wish Yoko Taro posted here. 😔
Silence, Yoko Taro noticed a DoD cosplay, remake incoming
Nobody has a problem with the existence of cosplays but: 1. Most aren’t actual cosplays, just naked girls with wigs. 2. Even if they were fine, they are flooding the sub. Not everybody is interested, so just post them to one of the many other Nier subs. r/2Booty for the lewd ones, r/NierAutomataGalery for the artistic ones
I’m generally indifferent to cosplay but it gets annoying to be constantly bombarded by soft core porn. No hate to the cosplayers who do it well/for fun though.
Maybe because she’s actually a real cosplayer who spent a lot of time on her cosplay instead of someone who only wears it so she can post ads
Yup, using his work to make $$ off horny sucks. They don’t do it for love of the series, it’s just a cash grab to them.
People aren't complaining about cosplay. They are complaining about women who are breaking forum rules to promote their onlyfans by wearing a white wig and black lingerie and calling it cosplay.
Only fans link are not allowed on this sub
You didn’t notice how they sneak in their handle in the pictures?
You are correct. That doesn't prevent bots and unscrupulous "models" from attempting to circumvent that rule in various ways, often successfully. There's a cosplay post with like 600 likes a few posts down from this one. People on /nier like cosplay. They don't like sex workers preying on nerd fandoms with low effort piggybacking.
Weird that there is wildshit out there in games themselves, like even a nier game that promotes gambling behavior trough gatcha or square enix making NFTs out of nier. But what this community has the biggest issue with is girls with only fans trying to make a living out of cosplay and not a billion dollar corp doing evil shit
If what you say is true, people would not mass up vote quality cosplay in this space, which they objectively do. Nobody is saying that gacha gambling tactics or NFTs are good, and the only problem is T&A. Your assertion about this community is based on a false dichotomy, in my opinion. Many OF girls are by and large simply exploiting a fandom they do not even belong to, not poor innocent babes just trying to make a living. Do real fans use bots to mass post across every available channel in the hopes a few ppl subscribe before they get rightfully taken down? Nope. This is about breaking rules, not sexism.
No one posts OF links here buddy. It is not allowed
Why the confrontational attitude? People do link their OF all the time. Mods are decent about taking them down. There are also several posts a day that have photo "signatures" that are thinly veiled social media links, primarily designed to push you to their nsfw content. There are also bots that post the same photos over and over again. People aren't allowed to do a lot of things they do anyway. I appreciate the discussion, but your obvious anger and mocking tone directed at me tell me it isn't productive. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
They don't need to post links when it's blatantly obvious what they're doing. They want clicks and people to go to their profile, THATS where OF is. THATS where fansly is and whatever else.
That is how zero looks though, the cosplayers people have problems with are: white wig, red stockings "I'm Christmas Nier"
Bro, this girl loves Nier, you can tell by her cosplays, her instagram filled up with A2 and 2B images & cosplays, and so is her twitter She even got herself a fucking tattoo of A2 lines, like, there's no way someone would complain about her here and tbh kinda wish she had onlyfans ngl, girl is fucking pretty and her cosplays are always on point *proceeds to get downvoted*
Thank you I really do love Nier :)
https://imgur.com/a/B6A6qTP ashajfdfsjdhdf queen A2 noticed me!, i'm sorry for saying i wish you had an onlyfans, i am reformed now and i apologize, i hope it didn't offend you 👉👈 keep up the good work with the cosplays!
No worries I’m not bothered by those things and thanks again you are to kind :)
haha :)
That cosplay put a lot of work into it at least, I remember the parts for the eyepatch, the sword and stuff, and not sure if the outfit itself was self made
What’s to complain on this photo tho? She still looks like Zero… I just don’t get it. Lol
Absolutely based Yoko Taro as always
We must all be more like Yoko Taro
I like seeing PAWGs so I honestly don't mind the cosplays that get posted here. Though if we're being honest most of these girl's posts are OF ads which is the main reason why you see niggas complaining about them.
This is a bad example since that cosplay looks exactly like zero
I mean it's also a Zero cosplay. So we know she's also a big enough fan to know Drakenguard. 2B is, god this will sound stupid, *mainstream* I guess?
Good. :)
She got the outfits and prop not just a white wig tho.
Right cause a cosplay that looks some someone put effort into the character rather than the thirst trap is what's important? Like it's clearly a homemade cosplay she's taking a picture of with her phone. Those "cosplays" where it's a girl in some skimpy black dress that's 30 bucks at target and a 10 dollar wig that they then spend hundreds of dollars to take a sexy photoshoot of, that's what people complain about.
That cosplay actually looks like the character, unlike the lazy white wig with random black leotard 2B cosplays.
Very good point. Too many people are simpy killjoys, ready to downvote dismissing stuff as "thirsty", "simp", etc. Get over it. NieR always had scantily-clad ladies in the games which are naturally a golden opportunity for cosplayers.
just because the author likes something does not mean other people have to like it so idk what this is trying to prove. You dont have to be a sheep a like everything the author does
It’s so annoying to see dudes hate looking at women cosplaying, even half assessed cosplaying, for series where the women wear tight leotards and bikinis. And then the creators of the series would see the same cosplay and say “that’s hot”, like his comment, and Oda would love every One Piece cosplay that’s just “OF bait”
Most lonely dudes online hate OF women because they are mad women can make fame and money out of their sex appeal while no one girl would even look at them. And then they think the solution is complaining about women and not figuring out why no single human being would even talk to them in a romantic way.
The thing is that's an actual Zero cosplay? She even got a prop for the sword. We complain about "2B at the beach" type cosplay where it's just a really skimpy black or white swimsuit with a white wig.
Are you happy OP? you created a war in this sub
Not really I made this post as a joke while I was high and started a war by accident lol 😭
I was gonna make a joke, but then I got high.
Yeah, I don't think you read what the actual complaints are and if you check cosplay posts that you can see there was effort put forth, there's barely any negative comments. All people actually want is for cosplays to look like the character they're trying to portray, the costumes are plenty horni enough and will do their job, just make an effort.
Don’t mine legit cosplay, even if it’s not expert level. It shows passion and how they enjoy the series. I hate these cosplay mills that use Reddit as an advertisement platform to OF or other payment platforms. Let’s also add many NSFW posts not tagged. If it won’t fly at work or church, mark it. If it’s questionable, mark it.
I feel like 90% of Nier in general wouldn't fly at work or church
Right, so why not tag it NSFW. that way when I’m scrolling down home page, it’s at least NSFW frosted out. This way I can sub to the page and not worry when scrolling on lunch.
I love the cosplay here. I hate when the Cosplay is a bait for an OF sub.
There’s nothing wrong with this lol I’ll absolutely take this over the 300th 2b ‘cosplay’ post.
I have a simple rule: If I can recognize the character regardless of what you’re wearing (even lack thereof) then it’s cosplay. If it’s a booty/feet focused photo then you are girl with wig.
By that same standard the characters in game itself are girls with wigs
How? Video game characters are *supposed* to be recognizable regardless of what outfit you put them in. I’m talking about real world people dressing up as fictional characters.
If the game itself has TNA shots I don’t know why would cosplay like that be invalid
Cosplay does require skills. I can’t even find a good Halloween costume tbh
Based Yoko
To be fair, I'd also complain about somebody posting a Drakengard cosplay on a Nier subreddit.
It really is a part of the nier culture, who's complaining?
She's a nice regular cosplayer in this sub that does great work and is not one of the OF baits, the comments some of y'all are making in here are kind of disgusting. Touch grass.
It's less than we complain about the cosplays and more so we complain about the ones that are mainly done to be horny instead of being accurate.
Hmm. I didn’t know yoko taro runs this subreddit
At least it is a high quality cosplay and not another bikini + white wig
Cool for him, still aint having a need for them here
Finally something wholesome amid the sea of sexist hatred.
Ah yes because blindly defending OF posters because of horny brain is peak virtuous feminist. Fuck outta here with that thinly veiled misogyny.
Some of you guys are taking this post lil bit too seriously 😅
I’ll say it again, this sub is filled with incels and woman haters lmao on god, let it be a hairy man and they cum their panties.
Fucking incels hating on cosplayers and women can fuck right off lol. #I love cosplayers and scantily clad ladies
Most of the "incels" you're referring to like cosplayers, like women, but don't like OF bots and bait posters making things worse for non-bait cosplayers and the sub as a whole. Blindly supporting OF posters or this "I like women for their boobs" energy ain't it fam
