I saw this question in the Zhihu Q&A of "*** Youth League Central" that was forwarded on my circle of friends. After I saw it, in addition to being particularly angry about this behavior, I also have a new understanding of the "*** Youth League Central Committee". They are a group of considerate elders. Their views are very clear and they also understand that the two-dimensional people in our hearts who are silent in my heart will be affected by these unlimited people. How has cosplay been ruined? Cosplay is a phenomenon that has become popular in the two-dimensional circle. Through their own efforts and through a series of preparations such as making clothes, making props, makeup, etc., they dress themselves up as characters from their favorite anime. But now that cosplay is becoming more and more popular, there are more and more people who have never been exposed to anime and just make some pseudo-cosplay with no minimum limit. It is true that wearing military uniforms is very handsome, but is this cosplay? I have never seen this military uniform appear in any anime or movie, and it is also the uniform of Chinese peacekeepers. You are free to kneel to whom you want, and no one can stop you, but the two of you are wearing the uniforms of Chinese peacekeepers and cosplaying to a Japanese girl (the protagonist of "Would you like some rabbit today?": Tomino Kafaze, the coser himself) This behavior of kneeling (is a boy) is completely different in nature. It not only violates several laws in China, but also discredits the Chinese peacekeepers who have dedicated their lives to the motherland. I don’t know who these two people are kneeling. Psychologically, I don’t know how the person who took the photo feels. If he just wants to attract other people’s attention, can he not use this method to smear the 2D cos circle, smear the Chinese soldiers, and smear the motherland. Friends who really love cosplay will never do this kind of thing. It is a hobby that does not affect others or society. Even if it does not have good looks and a good figure, they will not care. I only care about the process of cosplay (making clothes and props, dressing up and putting on makeup, and doing various poses that the cosplayer has done so that I can enjoy it and take photos.)
Cosplay and animation both belong to ACG culture. I don’t actually know much about cosplay, but I have loved Japanese animation since I was a child. At the same time, I also hate Japanese imperialism and right-wing forces. There is no conflict between liking Japanese anime and hating Japanese right-wing forces, but most people who like watching Japanese anime dare not share it with their friends. I think there are many reasons. The first is that in the eyes of outsiders, Japanese animation is a product of Japan, and their products are a sign of pro-Japanese island countries. Secondly, there are those people who like two-dimensional things, and they also care about other people’s opinions. They are worried that if others know about it, they will alienate them. Thirdly, there are certain cosplays with no limit (because they are closest to daily life) that attract outsiders. The misunderstanding about the second dimension has deepened. And this behavior of "wearing Chinese peacekeeping uniforms and kneeling" is the third situation I mentioned.
So, I would like to respond to the "*** Youth League Central Committee" here. Regarding this matter, I will no longer be silent. This small group of people cannot represent us real ACG enthusiasts at all. Although I like Japanese animation, we always remember that we are Chinese. I will never forget the disaster and humiliation that Japanese imperialism has brought to us. The current peaceful life was obtained with the sacrifices of thousands of Chinese soldiers. ,
We will not do anything to insult soldiers, nor will we say anything to insult soldiers. Those little bastards who smear the image of Chinese soldiers and our ACG fans, please step aside.
