BADCATBAD - DJ, Cosplayer, Cosplay Maker, Three Racoons in a Flesh Coat
I spin 2000s Video Game Music. I ramble and rant about anime, manga, video games, my cosplay progress. Shit gets weird on my twitter.

SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL IDOL SCENE IS A WHOLESOME ACTIVITY WHICH PROMOTES COMMUNITY BUILDING, SMALL ECONOMY, AND CARDIO THROUGH LIGHT STICK WAVING. IT IS BETTER FOR SOCIETY TOO SINCE YOU'RE THERE HELPING OTHERS FEEL GOOD.
BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY. SUPPORT LOCAL IDOLS.
Western Idol Industry is HYPERSEXUALIATION
K IDOL industries is POLISHED PRODUCT NO FLAWS
J Idol Industry is "MAKE YOUR FANS LOVE YOU BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY".
C Idol Industry is very "POPULARITY IS SUPREME! "
There is no perfect industry. It's what you make of it really.
The answer to "why do people want to be idols" tends to be internal I.e the drive for improvement, wanting to perform, wearing cute clothes.
The answer to "what stops a person from being an idol?" Tends to be all external I.e fear of ridicule, bullying, negative self perception
Its a literal cycle
> owner of Supanova does/says something bigoted
> community up in arms
> Supanova does pr damage control "the views of employees do not reflect supanova"
> everyone attends Supanova anyway pretending they never said they weren't going to attend supanova
I would just like to say everyone is cringe, we're all cringe. To be human is to be cringe.
But at least the Overseas idols are happy shooting for their dreams.
While you're there trying to drag others down to your unhappiness. You'll be an unhappy adult if you keep that up
The main difference between Japanese idols and Overseas Idol groups is the production team. Like we forget that Japanese idols (unless they're completely underground) have an entire team (management, composer etc) helping them so they can focus on performing. (1/2)
People pay butt fuck all attention to cosplayers who cosplay from obscure/niche things and then complain about the visual motony of the cosplay landscape at cons. If you want to see different cosplays, encourage and cheer on cosplayers who cosplay from obscure/niche media
If you're 14 and leaving a hate comment, if you've managed to mature into a proper adult you're gonna cringe at your teenage actions.
You're gonna realize that all the nasty comments you left about people being "cringe" was the real cringe. And you were angry while you did it.
Overseas idols are completely self produced and self managed. Like even if you're pissing cash, that's all going to venue hire.
There's high burn out because we're holding ourselves to the same standards as Japanese idols when we don't have anywhere near the same resources
Some of y'all are just looking for an excuse to publicly humiliate and bully people and people doing "cringe" things is a socially acceptable target because you can frame it as "social correction" and that is why we get seas of people jumping on the throats of overseas idols
If you, as a cosplay photographer, cannot bring out the beauty of someone's cosplay in your photo, that just means you're not very skilled lmao but you're trying to blame the model instead.
I may not be a big idol and i will never become famous but you know?
I've made people smile and be joyous over recognizing music and songs from anime and video games. I've made people remember parts of their childhood they thought no one else knew.
And that's good enough.
Imagine going "no. No one was good enough in our opinion" . This is so confidence destroying to cosplayers.
You always make sure all your prizes are given out for that show. Always.
A LOT of people who attended SMASH! are testing positive to covid.
GET YOURSELF TESTED. 2 DAYS. 3 DAYS. 5 DAYS. THE NEWER STRAINS ARE POPPING UP FASTER.
Harrassing netidols/overseas is easy. It's accessible.
You're just tormenting 3 innocent girls because you can, consequences rely upon you growing up and you're too gutless to actually participate in society.
Why don't you talk to your lawmakers with the same energy? Huh? Huh?
If you're gonna support the idols at a con, keep yourself hydrated, have a towel (cos you gonna get sweaty cheering and damp clothes feel ick), have earplugs (protect your ear health!) and look out for your fellow participants. You can't support your oshi if you're not healthy.
The last thing I'll say about
#CRXAUS
is I'm happy to have attended because THIS IS CON HISTORY IN THE MAKING. Holy shit, peeps will be talking about and the sheer chaos way longer than if it was an average con. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BOAST ABOUT HAVING PARTICIPATED IN YEARS TO COME
Y'all know what's gonna happen at
#CRXAUS
Sunday right? Everyone gonna be so paranoid about not getting in that everyone tries to get in early and line up and there will be the exact same line blockages as Saturday because the root cause of the blockages isn't addressed
Australians are laughing and going "i told you so" when it comes to the Miku Expo shenanigans. Crunchyroll ruins everything they touch but always in a unique, special way no one could have forseen
End result?
$312.00 down the pooper.
Can't feel my existence anymore.
I don't know why I do this.
Praise me and my strawberry miku cosplay please. I look at this and all I see are my flaws.

SMASH! 2021 WILL BE HELD AT THE SAME LOCATION AND SAME DATE AS SEXPO 2021!
IF YOU'RE WEARING A REVEALING/SUGGESTIVE COSTUME, BE CAREFUL!
IF YOU NEED ANY HELP GETTING AWAY FROM CREEPERS, TAP ME ON THE SHOULDER.
You know what is great about the WCS Saudi Arabia situation? We'll be able to clearly see who values money more than adhering to their professed morals and ethics. Watch people do a mental gymnastic triple backflip to justify their presence there.
Stop milking your audience like a cash cow and incorporate more con organized activities for people who can only afford the price of entry. Con organizers default to going "the community can look after them"
Overseas idols are way more productive and contribute to their local small economy than their haters.
Overseas idols spend their money in their local economy (costumes, venue hire, busker licences).
Haters only pay their telecommunications bill. The money only lines big corp
I'll be doing an convention style/dancing set for
@AnisonH
at 1:45PM AEST 28/08/2022 for my fellow kangaroos so tune in and see how much I'll drink for Anison Hijack! Come along and be worried for my liver and kidneys!
The biggest lie Love Live told all aspiring idols is that you and your friends can get high quality costumes and a backing band in under 1 year worth of work and while maintaining your grades/regular life.
So you know what I noticed about
#smashcon
hauls? You can really tell that the cost of living crisis has started to affect spending habits because
1) People spending a lot more time to make purchasing decisions.
2) Smaller but more meaningful hauls for people.
Is there fatphobia in cosplay communities and photographers?
Yes. Yes there is.
Their fatphobia is so irrational that they target even skinny cosplayers for not being skinnier. Hell, I've been told to lose weight by total cunts and I WOULD BE MALNUTRITIONED.
Cosplay competitions are humiliating enough. You're trapped in an area for an hour, half the time the judges don't even look at you, you're competing for chump change. Being publicly humiliated by con organizers going "your costume is good but not good enough"? Beyond the pale

Today on BADCATBAD DOES DATING APPS POORLY
My response to every poor SOB who goes "oh hey, I'm doing (cosplay) because it's easy. What will you be cosplaying?"
on this day in 2003, a looping flash animation known simply as "Badgers" was uploaded by Mr Weebl, forever changing human culture by ushering in the era of what some call "random internet humor." this video is 20 years old today, scare a millennial in your life with that factoid
Good luck to everyone trying to get home/to the city with Sydney Trains shitting themselves.
Good luck with buses, cabs, overpriced ubers, getting lifts from mates.
I really wish there was like a contingency replacement bus plan in place with how often the system shits itself.
Just entered the SMASH! cosplay display with this. I'VE MET THE THEME DAMN IT. THE CHARACTER IS INSPIRED BY SPACE AND THE VOYAGER SPACE CRAFT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. SPACE AND THE MOON ARE CLOSE ENOUGH
Just seeing the sea of teenagers go "omg so cringe" at overseas idols really makes me remember when we as 2000s teenagers went "omg so cringe such weebs" at anime fans and I guess things never change. Things never change.
Just for some cosplay positivity
QRT with the most obscure cosplay you've ever done. Something that you would have to explain to people

PLEASE DO NOT LOBBYCON OZCOMICCON.
We are still in the midst of a pandemic.
Lobbyconers don't have to be vaccinated and don't have to check in. If you lobbycon, you defeats the whole purpose of a fully vaccinated, contact tracable convention.

In 10 years time, do you really want some of your core memories to be that you sent hate messages to total strangers on the internet because you disliked their ultimately harmless actions?
Like come on, make better memories than that! Let's go plant seeds together.
Wearing crop tops despite my pudgy because I've let the fear associated with my pudge rule me for too long so I might as well dress how i want to dress even if it's just wearing what I wanted to in the 2000s but didn't
I say this as I was an unhappy teenager who was judgemental as fuck and calling others cringe.
You can learn from the mistakes of your elders or blunder along your own unhappiness.
*shrugs* but it is a privilege of youth to think that their experiences are whole unique
I am so sorry for anyone who followed me as a result of those idol tweets because while I may be an overseas idol, I'm also a bad example so :D

J-idol path gives people leeway not to be perfect. Yes it expects improvement but it doesn't demand that you be an instantly polished product without anxieties or weaknesses
J-idol path allows me to grow and try to overcome my weaknesses and anxieties over my performing skill
