@MiriaRose

I totally agree with you on that. As you probably know from previous posts of mine, i'm hugely againsed stuff like that.

Also, what exactly did Axelai do? I've seen her videos and cosplay account and she seems like a fine person to me...

Oh, derp... when I met nazi Germany.... I ment like a replic of his uniform.... I dont think I could live with my self if I had any swastika on a Germany cosplay....... ever....... In my life..... I should have made this more clear.

hikaru_maxwell · « **Reply #102 on:** September 27, 2011, 11:04:17 pm »

Were you thinking of cosplaying Germany in an SS uniform without the armband? Or the german military uniform from the WW2 era? Although I'd love to see someone pull of the SS uniform privately, some people who have personal issues regarding WW2 and the Holocaust might be offended by it, regardless of whether you wear the swastika armband.

That said, I'm not sure con staff would be upset enough to ask anyone to change out of their uniform, so long as it covers all the naughty bits. If it had the armband, they might ask the cosplayer to cover it, but asking them to change out of their whole cosplay isn't something I think is likely to happen.

I wasn't going to wear the armband for mine I was going to wear the uniform because I know the offense behind it.. If I had the armband that would also be in private like I said.

This thread is currently locked and will remain so until tomorrow. Moderators need sleep and we don't want this to flare up again over night. The thread may receive more moderator actions before unlocking.

Some reminders:
* Please keep talk civil and do not post comments that only serve to escalate the tension in a thread.

* While I know that politics can be relevant to some cosplays, please do try and keep on topic. Debating politics or morality is not appropriate here.

* There has been talk in this thread of Kumoricon being a 'family con'. I would like to point out that the rating of the con and of these forums is PG-13. Content and outfits do not need to be be 'all age friendly'.

Alright folks, I am unlocking the topic after reading it.

A few things:

-Personal attacks are not at all kosher on the forums. I'm not going to point out who, but you know who you are.

-As I consider the forums an extenstion of the convention, I will sometimes go to the convention policies if I need to. I feel this discussion falls under this caveat of harrassment:

Quote

Harassment

-Offensive or rude behavior toward anyone

I consider this past page and a half exactly that.

If this flamefest continues, I will lock this thread and the mod team will more than likely have a discussion on if we will allow Hetalia threads moving forward. Please think about that before even thinking about going into round two of this flamefest.

I also urge you to read up on the symbolism of the swastika symbol, as it was really the Nazi Party during the 1920s-1950s which villainized the symbol.

You all owe me donuts for making me mod this early. =P

Thank you for finally making the madness stop even if it had to be through force of locking down the thread. Cosplaying Nazi is offensive, we get it. Moving on.

In other news, how about them... maid Prussias, ah? o3o Super fun times, yes?

@random · « **Reply #107 on:** September 30, 2011, 07:29:39 am »

The discussion of whether wearing a Nazi uniform is ethical has been moved to Off-Topic; any further posts on the subject will have to go there.

@KyoKyo866: are you using your real hair or a wig? If it's your real hair you might use gel, but if it's a wig, my friend told me to use hair wax and then spray it with a good kind of hairspray (like Herbal Essences). There's a kind of Hairspray that shouldn't be used that I can't remember the name of right now that will eat your wigs, though.

Products you can use other then hair spray
One thing about GEL is it can make the wig sticky and gorse and can sometimes eat the fibers been down that road the link below is for wigs. IF you do Gel get wig gel. not normal gel you can buy at any store . that gel is ment for human hair with its natural oils and what not.

http://www.amazon.com/Brandywine-Wig-Styling-Gel-8oz/dp/B000KGITP2

Waxes I ve use any type of hair wax for styling wigs. is is very good when you want that good detail.

Hair spray.
I ve alot of hair spray and i wound out the white rain hair spray eats at wigs. i used it on my ayase wig (demark now) and the ends ended up looking fried.
Strong holding hair spray is very good. as well looking online or go to a sallys. for wig when it comes to gel

I am starting on russia in december.

hikaru_maxwell · « **Reply #114 on:** September 30, 2011, 11:28:31 pm »

More russias are always welcome! On a good note, my Denmark wig is now officially mine, so I can now style it properly without worrying about ruining my friend's Ayase cosplay. Yay for not having flat-haired!Denmark for next Kumoricon.

We (the nordics I cosplay with) were also thinking of maybe doing a mashup of SATW and Hetalia for some of the 2012 con, like randomly switching the personalities, and the similar things. For example, Hetalia!Denmark being terrified of Nature, and hiding behind the nearest Norway cosplayer, etc. It should be really fun.

I'd be careful with how many gears you'd use, if only because steampunk =/= gears. Also, it's a little. . Not sure how to word it.

Like i said in the Hetalia day thread, i'm getting sort of tired of cosplaying it. Besides, i've already done Hetalia cosplays for two Kumoricons now, i think it's about time i go with something else.

There seems to be a bit of confusion on this subject, or at least there has been in the past so I'll just post a little disclaimer here:

Shi and I joint run this shoot.

It's not just one of us being fully in-charge, we do an equal amount of work. Also, I don't have access to her account and can't change the OP, so I can't add people to the list personally.

Thanks! <3

Anyway, more on-topic, how is everyone's cosplay coming along?

Whenever I dye things that have the potential to bleed, I overdye them a little so they're a couple shades darker than I want, then wash them by themselves so if they do bleed they don't turn anything else funny colours. After that the colour usually stays fine without bleeding onto other things.

Adding to this, if it's red, maybe wash it by itself the first few times. Or just get the apron dry-cleaned when you have to.

Red is the worst colour ever when it comes to washing I swear to god.

Sorry for the delay in changing the first post. I took a small break for personal reasons, but a couple things made it apparent that such a break isn't all that possible.

So if there's a change in the list that I missed, feel free to repost or PM it. c:

As far as my progress goes, Halloween!Hungary's not going to be done in time for Halloween, since I'm in Idaho with no materials until Monday, so it's just not feasible.
However, I'm down to needing wigs for Wy, Fem!Sweden, 2P!Fem!England, and Pirate!Spain, so I just need to start buying the materials and sewing down my long list of cosplays I have wigs for. c:
~~I also bought the wigs for my siblings' Chuck and Trixie cosplays, but those aren't needed until Kumori and they're not Hetalia related, and a good starter SLR to get into con photography.~~
