Tbh maybe it's better in the states where going to conventions actually introduces you to interesting people that don't have type 2 diabetes or feel obliged to not cosplay because the men will think they'll turn into homos if they do.
It kind of speaks in general the problems with males right now and how they won't bother to objectify themselves and think they need to troon out to do so. :/ The misogyny is so deeply rooted into their brains that they can't see how it's possible for men to be attractive for others in an "acceptable" way unless they're gay or LARP as women.

This. /cgl/ is where the phrase "cringe" was born from, and the cosplay cringe threads were so popular that reddit lurkers started using it outside of 4chan, then it became mainstream and lost all meaning.

There are more women on the internet now than way back when thanks to smartphones. I am phoneposting as we speak.
