@Dashrender airdrop?
Isn't that the apple wireless tech that lets you connect to another apple phone and send stuff?
Woman were whining about getting random dick picks on the subway because they had left airdrop open to anyone to send them stuff.

Cosplay is mostly just hot chicks dressing up like anime (or whatever) characters. Anything outside of that is... well..... kinda useless.
Most cosplay is just a bizarre pretense for semi-public stripping. Which is bizarre that society is so against stripping, but so okay with it when it gets weird.
Stripping? WUT? Cosplay is about wearing a costume. Not removing it.
This goes along with Scott's believe that airdrop is completely designed as a no contact porn dropping system.
That didn't come from me. I just repeated something that is both obvious and presented on as common knowledge.
Not common knowledge, and not obvious. Airdrop is used by normal people all the time for hte purpose it was designed. Which was not porn.
Right, I am aware of what Airdrop is and while I haven't seen it used for sending this kind of media, there is nothing in it that would stop it either.
@scottalanmiller why do you think Airdrop is meant as a peer-to-peer porn system? If I direct messaged you the same content, is that medium not the same exact this?
He thinks so because there was a news article about some people doing it on the train somewhere.

No, that's different, that's not peer to peer. Peer to peer is to avoid oversight and detection.

Your limited cross section of the world leaves you missing a lot. It's about wearing as little of that costume as possible, just enough to qualify as a custome.
I have several friends that are cosplay profesisonals. That's how they make their living, even being on television and stuff.
Of course this is true - but this represents less than 1% of the 'cosplay' community, hell, probably less than 0.1%.
That's more than is used by research firms to get cross sections.
How many people have a greater cross section?
I don't get what you're trying to say?
You painted cosplayers as strippers - period. You didn't say a crosssection, you said cosplayers.

That's what they TELL you, of course. You don't actually think teenagers are going around telling adults why they use it. Just like people claiming that they use Snapchat for normal communications and not private porn or sexting. But we all know better.

I remember this story now.
And I thought Apple changed the system so it required authorization (ie what's the code word) to send the content.

No, I said they were MOSTLY strippers. You can't take MOST to mean ALL, ever.

Always did, but people aren't very smart. I think they made it more of a default.

Nor can you claim most. When it is obviously far from the truth, outside your little planet.

Anything but obvious. Not sure how you even think it's likely to not be the truth. What view of cosplaying do you have that is anything but predominantly this?

I take mostly to mean more than 50% - and i just told you that likely less than 1% actually strip.
so no, it's not mostly - not even close. -

I mean most of it? I have quite a few acquaintances that cosplay at major cons. Men and women alike who aren't strippers and aren't doing it to show off skin but simply doing it because they love the crafting parts of it and showing off their craftsmanship. On top of that just watch video from the Con floors at any of the big ones. You'll see that most people aren't dressed in skimpy outfits but are in highly intricate and custom costumes.

so no, it's not mostly - not even close.Correct. Most means over 50%. Maybe in your world less than 1% strip. But you can't make that claim with any credibility without totally making my point that my cross section of it being the vast majority being credible. Because both is just our view of it.
I get that you are part of the 49% that don't strip. But that means that your view is much, MUCH more likely to see the non-stripping portion of the industry.

I consider cosplay to be really high end Arts and Crafts. Yeah you dress up as whoever from whatever cartoon or anime. But the goal is to look like that character, i's dotted and t's crossed.

Those shows are only a small amount of cosplaying today. Most cosplaying, as I understand it, is on Instagram.

I personally have the view of the 501st, Rebel Legion, Mandolorian Mercs, and a dozen other costuming clubs - where stripping is not part of it at all.
These clubs have a HUGE membership.
Yes - I've seen the stripper cosplayers at conventions, they number in the single digits at most shows... What girls do to earn money on the side doesn't make them cosplayers - that makes them strippers in a costume. To get cosplay status in my book - you at least need to wear that shit in full on public, and more likely need to go to conventions in costume...
