I feel like this is done right. The way to really upset them is to do minor changes and make fun of it without it overwhelmingly obvious.
The scene in star trek where death Vader and Luke are fighter with their laser swords
Now you got people angry about two things, all the whole it looked like you just didn’t know.
They often don’t even comment back when you start combing a bunch of fandoms just for combing fandoms sake.

But the thing is that she probably does, but got so fed up of people questioning her fandom with shit like "Do you even KNOW who you're cosplaying?" that she decided to lean into it and just outright piss these people off. I love it, want more of it.

I dunno, I'm less annoyed at her specifically, and I'm not likely to go dumpster diving in her social media to get more annoyed.
I'm more annoyed that this is all of social media now.
Like, I get it, haha yes you put on the cheap printed outfits that are 16 pence on Wish and called it a cosplay. You even did a thing wrong hehe.But all my shit is, you won't believe how she broke the internet with this spiderman cosplay, and it's just some woman with £56 of a face of makeup on in a spandex suit.
At some point it loops back around, everyone knows what it is and you just want it to go away lol.

u/AstarteHilzarie Jan 19 '22
I suspect it's about promoting that mask and getting more people to see it. I saw a similarly "not really about the mask" video recently that was about how cute and sweet the couple was because she got it for him as a gift and it blew his mind and she kept showing him different features while he was in awe of her.
It does stuff that is neat and gimmicky and it's probably entirely too expensive. By having it spread outside of the "hard-core nerdy" realms and into the cute/dumb/funny stretches of social media it's more likely to land in front of the people who will buy it as a gift.

This might be it.
In earlier times, urine (piss) was the basis of many chemicals and used for production of salt peter for black powder (gun powder).
The poor would collect urine in a ‘piss pot’ from others, around pubs etc. They would then sell the urine. They were ‘piss poor’. Even worse were those who were so poor they ‘didn’t have a pot to piss in’.
Presumably ‘taking the piss’ was stealing the urine that another had collected.

I always thought it was because “getting pissed” meant getting drunk and if you ask someone “are you taking the piss?” It’s like saying “wtf dude, are you drunk?” And the it evened to “are you kidding?”

I agree but that’s also what is kinda sad about the age of social media. People are willing to sacrifice credibility, pride, or respect to farm extra views.

I would like to clarify that my original comment was referring generally to people who often post certain content in hopes of gaining popularity from “hate-views”. Was just trying to start a discussion about different tactics people use to get views. I don’t give a fuck about this video, cosplay, or superheroes. LOL

u/SaraHuckabeeSandwich Jan 19 '22
To me, the bigger problem is that people are quick to assume that others are stupid, often as a way to make themselves feel smarter.
It's getting harder and harder to play dumb or be sarcastic online as a joke, and the people who misinterpret that as idiocy get to feel smug without ever questioning whether it was deliberate.
That's why outrage-bait works. People are getting more and more intent in feeling superior to others, such that they'll ignore obvious sarcasm just for a chance to put someone else down.

u/WirelessVinyl Jan 19 '22
You're right, but I think "that person is dumb" is often a logical conclusion. It's true that we shouldn't revel in our own perceived superiority (and avoiding that might improve our evaluations), but I don't think it's fair to expect people to assume deliberation with the prevalence of actual idiocy.

Not sure if that refers to her, because she didn't sacrifice anything. She was just, as far as I can tell, playing around. It's not serious, and no one cares. The only people that would say she sacrificed... pride (hard to say that seriously) are people that are so into comic book super heroes their opinion says more about them than her. There are certainly people on social media that sacrifice self-respect for money, but this woman isn't representative of them.

This is Kristy, she runs a decently popular Instagram acct making videos with her husband and two young sons. Often times she orders silly costumes and dresses up in secret and records herself casually walking into a room to get her husband’s reaction- which is exactly what the second half of this original video consists of! There was no true attempt at cosplay being made :)

u/Chaldo Jan 20 '22
