I went to a Japanese festival (Matsuri) in Phoenix today, and I couldn't believe my eyes... The place was FULL of cosplaying weeaboos (mostly Naruto characters, lol), and BAD ones at that. There were a few good ones... But the fact that these people go to a Japanese heritage festival just to cosplay makes me facepalm. Honestly, these people probably know so little about Japan that I bet they think that EVERYONE cosplays EVERYDAY in Japan. Why else would they go to a festival about Japanese culture cosplaying as manga (not the weeaboo term "anime") and video game characters (or even the occasional sci-fi character, like the Spock cosplayer I saw XD)? 'Cause, you know, Japanese culture is totally ALL about cosplaying! <small>/sarcasm</small>
Oh, and I have pictures. I'll post them later, lol.
