Cosplay itself is not bad, but how far you go with it (12 year olds dressing like sluts on halloween in the US).

This survey is probably a little misleading based on what the Japanese consider 'cosplay'. Cosplay in Japan is a much more liberal term, which can mean dressing up in costume for non-specific things, such as an occupation (similar to the 'Halloween' variety costumes). I would say that western people who are familiar with the cosplay term associate it more directly with dressing as a character from some media.

Heh. 565 people isn't really that much especially if that includes both men and women, and you then project the choices on the entire female population of the country.

Not all women are the same. Maybe in Japan, the majority of them might be pricks but I wouldn't know. I don't know much about Japanese women but they seem fickle according to what otaku have to say. :3 There's plenty of women who don't mind otaku-ish hobbies AND are interested in it.

lol rather "3d thinks it would be fun to cosplay as 2d." 2D is an ideal concept but I don't feel inferior; I just accept it as it is. Do you have a problem with that? @3@

30% of women like to dress up purely for attention? That number seems a little low to me.

I understand the analogy. I'm just trying to understand why 'Pizza' gets so upset. And I'm pizza! Oh god I just got the urge to commit cannibalism of the pineapple and pepperoni topped variety. (I'm aware that 'Pizza' was 'the girlfriend', but I had to make the horrible joke and pretend it was 'female' for it to work.) Insecurity is no excuse to be a bitch because your boyfriend has eyes, then doing the same, you know?
