A recent debate on the The Division 2 subreddit has ignited a heated discussion over the inclusion of cosplay within gaming communities. The controversy began when one user's cosplay post received a significant amount of downvotes, leading to accusations of 'karma farming' and a flood of negative feedback.
The initial post questioned whether cosplay should have a place in gaming subreddits, prompting one user to express their discomfort with seeing cosplay content. They argued that cosplay is not a game and therefore does not belong in a gaming community. This viewpoint resonated with many users, who shared similar sentiments. Some suggested that cosplay posts are merely attention-seeking endeavors and proposed creating a separate subreddit specifically for cosplay submissions.
The discussion took a contentious turn when a user engaged in a lengthy debate with another commenter who had criticized their original comment. This particular user was accused of employing multiple accounts to downvote the initial post. Others joined in to denounce the comment as 'garbage'.
One user expressed disappointment with the heavily edited appearance of the cosplay, likening it to a photoshopped image rather than true cosplay. They argued that allowing gaming cosplays would flood the subreddit with 'unrelated content'. This sparked yet another debate, with one side contending that gaming cosplays are 'themed, specific photos with a consistent visual reference to a game'. Conversely, another user dismissed complaints about photoshopping as 'elitism' and praised the heavily edited Aloy cosplay as 'actually pretty nice'.
In response to a comment about the abundance of nostalgia posts and battle station pictures on the subreddit, one user claimed that the subreddit is inundated with content unrelated to The Division. They suggested that cosplay posts featuring attractive individuals, particularly women, are more likely to garner upvotes.
The Aloy cosplay received positive feedback from another commenter who praised the accuracy and appearance of the cosplayer. Admirers chimed in to express their admiration as well.
