Anyone who notices the sites that I link to might notice\u00a0Me In My Place<\/a>, which sure, at a cursory glance looks like a pervy site full of girls running around in their underwear.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not going to deny that I don\u2019t not enjoy seeing girls running around in their underwear, but in all honesty, I like the concept of the site, and as someone who hopefully will show some improvement in photography, I find the site as sort of inspirational as well.<\/span><\/p>\n When I look at the site, it\u2019s not because I\u2019m trying to get my jollies, I\u2019m viewing as a fan and admirer of their art.\u00a0 What kind of twisted person would actually link their personal arousal preferences on their own blog??<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I watched\u00a0Heroes of Cosplay<\/em>, because I know the Atlanta cast, and naturally because I\u2019m a giant nerd who has also gone to conventions as well as dressed up at them.\u00a0 And, I figured the show was going to be an entertaining possibility for a train wreck, and depending on whom you ask, and what I hear from scuttlebutt, it kind of was.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, one of the bright spots of the show, in my opinion, was when they introduced Chloe.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say that I\u2019m familiar with her background, her web show, etc, but the show tells me she\u2019s a novice trying to gain traction in the scene.\u00a0 She\u2019s also very attractive and appealing to my aesthetic preferences (read: she\u2019s hot<\/em>), so naturally, I had no qualms with whenever she was getting screen time.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m not concerned about spoiler-alerting\u00a0Heroes of Cosplay<\/em>, but the takeaway from the series was essentially being a noob, Chloe was not caught up in \u201ccosplay politics\u201d and the unofficial rules of the scene, and was cleverly depicted as somewhat of an unsung hero to those who didn\u2019t have a wealth of experience or talent, weren\u2019t the most physically convincing as who they did\/wanted to dress up as, or people who did it for fun, at the expense of complete accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s safe to say that after the six episodes, Chloe probably came out smelling like roses better than anyone else in that show did.<\/span><\/p>\n I came across this parody of Me In My Place, done by Chloe, while perusing through MIMP\u00a0<\/a>the other day.\u00a0 MIMP takes the high road, and pulls out the old \u201cimitation is the sincerest form of flattery\u201d card, and goes on about their scheduled business of posting pictures of women in varying states of undress.\u00a0 However, I can\u2019t help but feel rubbed in the wrong way with Chloe\u2019s parody; it\u2019s not necessarily done with malicious intent, but there\u2019s definitely a feeling of mockery ingrained in it, and basically it just makes me want to ask: was it really necessary?<\/span><\/p>\n So Chloe doesn\u2019t agree that MIMP is really \u201creal.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s fine, we\u2019re all entitled to our opinions.\u00a0 Frankly, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s very real too, and to be perfectly honest, MIMP is kind of formulaic when you\u2019ve been looking at the site for a long time; all the girls seem to do the same types poses, use the same types of settings, there\u2019s often a bedsheet or a tights segment.\u00a0 But the content remains fresh as long as there are lines of women, whether they\u2019re \u201cnormal\u201d girls or those in the celebrity world who are willing to be shot by MIMP.<\/span><\/p>\n I like the idea of Chloe I\u2019ve been spoon-fed from the show, but I can\u2019t say that I\u2019m really a fan of this little side project intent on mockery, and as much as she may or may not deny it on forums like Reddit, for attention.\u00a0 If don\u2019t agree with MIMP, you don\u2019t agree with it; I don\u2019t necessarily think there\u2019s anything to gain by publicly mocking it with a spoof.\u00a0 It seems kind of well, like an immature approach.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t mind seeing Chloe running around in her underwear as much as the next heterosexual male does, but I kind of think the point of a spoof was kind of missed here, no matter how much she might defend it.\u00a0 I get it to a degree, but I can\u2019t agree that this was really entirely an accurate spoof.<\/span><\/p>\n Something ironic is that in the aftermath of the TV show, it was naturally ripped to shreds on all sorts of forms of social media.\u00a0 No thing, no costume and no person was safe from the scrutiny and criticisms, including Chloe.\u00a0 Naturally, one of the chief things said was that the show was all staged, and yup, fake.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say I disagree with all accusations, but I\u2019m not going to pretend like I\u2019ve heard or read everything out there, because I simply am not just that vested.\u00a0 But the bottom line is that there\u2019s a large contingent of people out there that don\u2019t buy into\u00a0Heroes of Cosplay<\/em>\u00a0as being something real or normal.<\/span><\/p>\n What I\u2019m ultimately trying to get to, is that there\u2019s a little bit of a pot-calling-kettle going on here with Chloe taking a cheap shot at MIMP, because there are plenty of people that think Chloe and the TV show were just as staged and unrealistic as she thinks MIMP is.\u00a0 In the end, nobody really cares if they\u2019re all staged and unrealistic, as long they\u2019re entertaining, but let\u2019s at least not be blind to some of the hypocrisy going on here.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anyone who notices the sites that I link to might notice\u00a0Me In My Place, which sure, at a cursory glance looks like a pervy site full of girls running around in their underwear.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not going to deny that I don\u2019t not enjoy seeing girls running around in their underwear, but in all honesty, … Continue reading Was this really necessary?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[108,45,15,156,69,49],"class_list":["post-38014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cosplay","tag-fail","tag-og","tag-social-media","tag-television","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38014"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38016,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38014\/revisions\/38016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
