@Saaaam~ It's spelt Britany, and I don't really care how many y's you put on the end, it's all good. : D I hardly exercise, ever. DX It's the curse of being home-schooled, I guess. It was fun doing that jumping shot, though! ='D Rest your legs for a couple days and you'll feel better~ X3
If you do it again things should be a bit more organized. When we were actually at the zoo a few people, myself included, felt really rushed since we kept being told to keep moving when we were looking at the animals. Plus when people wanted to split off we couldn't since we knew we'd probably never meet up again. That's just my opinion though.
The thing I didn't like was the loud and obnoxious singing at some points (I think I heard a song referencing homosexuals and a song about President Obama. While I wasn't offended by the content of those songs, we were in a public place with normal people around and we could've easily been kicked out for that.)
Yeah, the singing was really impolite and somewhat disgraceful to cosplayers in general. If we want people to accept us in public as normal people while we're wearing cosplay then we need to act like it. Sure we can be crazy and play games and stuff, but that doesn't mean we can go around singing our lungs off about whatever the heck we feel like. I was really nervous sometimes that security was going to give us the boot.
I didn't go but here's my $.02~During public cosplay meetups if cosplayers consistently behave obnoxiously then people'll grow weary of cosplayers as a whole, even if it's only a select few that are misbehaving. It's not just, "normal" people that get irked by impoliteness, it's bothersome to everyone. As a cosplayer, I don't want to be stereotyped as loud and obtrusive, though that's a stigma that's already taking hold for cosplayers.Really, all I want to say is please be respectful to others so that there won't be negativity associated with cosplay. And think of all the good karma you get from being nice 8~D
That is a problem with going to places like the zoo. Cosplayers need to be somewhere they can run around and be loud, like a park. Not in an enclosed space like a zoo or a mall. That is asking for trouble.

And think of all the good karma you get from being nice 8~DI completely second this, thank you Sahara. I can actually remember a very specific person that was making me weary ALL THE TIME while we were there. I didn't want to be around said person since I didn't want to be stereotyped as an obnoxious cosplayer, though I probably was since I was in the vicinity of said person. Next time...guys really. Next time we should have stricter guidelines about how to act in public...because this was just not okay.
Haha, no problem you guys~Has anyone talked to the specific person? Maybe they don't realize all the fuss they've caused and need to be told directly of it~
So we should just be careful, give ourselves a good image no matter where we venture to!
I don't know. Maybe the zoo is just not a good idea.

Not in an enclosed space like a zoo or a mall. That is asking for trouble. I agree, and disagree with that statement. While I was at the zoo, even though about half of the group was being loud and obnoxious, I generally had a pleasant time. It was fun waving to little children, and we even met some people who asked us which anime we were from. So I disagree that the zoo is a bad place for cosplayers to visit. Also, as an older cosplayer, I don't feel the need to run around and be loud. Mature cosplayers can spend time out in society without too much trouble, because we don't make people hate us when we go out.The part I agree with is mall-hopping in cosplay. Shopping centers are MUCH more enclosed than the zoo or other public parks, and I've had bad experiences in almost every mall I went to in cosplay.
well the thing is that most people who go to these meet-ups are between the ages of 12 and 17 and sadly a lot of them can be loud and immature at times. I can easily see security following the group around in places like the zoo.

I can easily see security following the group around in places like the zoo. I totally understand what you're saying, but I have to make my point that cosplayers shouldn't write off the zoo as a place they can't visit and have fun. Cosplayers, regardless of age, who respect others and present themselves as friendly and courteous should have no problems there.
I agree with you sam It doesn't really depend on there age. Like Laviwas 13 and she acted WAY more mature then other cosplays.Cosplayers should just respect and present themselves the way theywant to be treated.
