Cosplayers should stop sharing their cosplay pics only on their facebook profile (instead of facebook pages), that is if they really wanted to spread the cosplay culture. I personally think it is a bad thing to make it only available to friends when it is supposed to meet wider audience. After all it is pointless to do cosplay if you want to keep it to yourself and your friends only. It would be better if those cosplayers share their cosplay pics at more accessible places like flickr or any other image sharing service also will do, or in deviantart account or at least in their blogs.
Only The Best Practice 
Thing is, most people lack the confidence to share their cosplaying abilities. While cosplaying is widely accepted by fans, it is still a matter of ridicule by those refusing to understand what cosplaying really is. What’s worse is that, most of these people (the ones in the latter category) view cosplaying the same way they view invasive foreign culture. What’s wrong with these people? Why are they so xenophobic?
wow, I’m impressed with your critical mind. Your comment just gave me a new idea for my next article, no joke. I’ll give it a title “Cosplaying can’t be something to be afraid of” or something like that. BTW do you have a blog? If you have I’d like to link to yours.
Unfortunately, no, I seldom go to the internet, but after stumbling upon two Malaysian gold mines (nose4news and this blog), I might just go to the net more often. We’re on holiday right now, so late night surfing all the way (but sadly the internet connection here is limited to only from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. since I’m a poor uni student. . . using the uni’s line to surf using proxy haha, beat that network admin)
oh sorry to hear that too, and that would be another idea for me to write about; the restrictive internet connection in Malaysia’s universities. Obviously we’re lagging far behind many developing countries when it comes to providing good internet service to college students. They (the higher ups) should know that at this age of information technology, internet to students is as important as research books itself. I seriously envy how the college students in the US enjoying their own version of hi-speed internet (in the form of inter-college networking) that had allowed revolutionary things to happen in the past like the birth of napster, facebook and google (all of them started at some colleges).
Anyways you’re quite luckier than me, bcos back then when I was still a student in year 2001-2002, there was no internet connection at all at the hostel (wifi was still in its infancy on that time) so I hope you could bear with it for now. BTW yeah I’m a regular at nose4news ;P
The internet was created to share information, the world wide web was created to make this internet technology available to the public. However, some groups with personal interest and gains, fear the power that the WWW bestows upon us common folks to gain knowledge and know the world without having this information filtered by them. The only people who fears the truth are liars. I feel that I may have gone off topic with this post, but I just had to put my pennies worth. ;P
alright then, one of my future articles will be “The internet can’t be this restrictive”. Thanx for your input (already have a draft on it) 🙂
