austenandrews Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I still don't get the "fanboy service" thing. You mean a fanboy asks them to dress up as a certain character? Or they just do it because they like getting attention from fanboys? Is it a derogatory term? I'm confused. -AA P.S. SS, keep up the good work. Our WGAC Index has increased nearly a point since you started posting pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS, keep up the good work. Our WGAC Index has increased nearly a point since you started posting pictures. Fanboys, get excited at the thought of anime girls and stuff like that. Catgirls and anime characters with more revealing outfits are bonus. They are the people who write themselves into "lemons" or sexual fanfics involving hot anime characters and so on. Gross lot if you ask me. "Fanboy Service" is basically a cosplayer who dresses in the type of outfit that fanboy fantasize over. High skirts, major clevage, and tight outfits are the common fanboy service outfit. They do it for the attention I guess. They like to tease the fanboys and drive them wild. I've seen at conventions a flock of fanboy's following around people. Weird stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Anomaly Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Would I be in the minority by saying that this whole cosplay thing is kinda creepy? I don't know...how is it any different from a girl who dresses up as a superheroine and goes to a comic book convention to work at a table or booth or whatever? She's doing it for the attention and the "draw", but I've never heard anyone say that was creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard00 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Would I be in the minority by saying that this whole cosplay thing is kinda creepy? Not at all. It's kinda weirdin' me out. SS, can you just post the pictures without a discussion into the subculture? I can make up my own "fanboy" fantasies anyway.

Super Squirrel Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Would I be in the minority by saying that this whole cosplay thing is kinda creepy?Probably not. I think cosplay is cool but creepy at the same time. But then again... I also have seen someone cosplay as a box of pocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all in favor of a little fantasy here and there, now and again, hell all the time. Making a hobby out of (partially?) fullfilling someone else's fantasy, especially someone who has no social cred at all, strikes me as rather creepy. I like attention as much as the next wacko, and I certainly like to dress up in a good costume (not for sex - party skyclad, thanks!) and adopt a different persona, but this is just a tad.... creepy. Takes it to the next level. That they have dedicated followers is even creepier, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archermoo Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER "Fanboy" is a derogatory term for someone a male fan of anime characters that has a hard time distinguishing reality. Fanboy Service are cosplayers who dress up intentionally for the fanboys. They usually also have a boyfriend bodyguard. Just as an aside, "fanboy" isn't an anime fandom specific term.
