WCS is rigged, so why does this matter?

How do you know that? Have you seen it? or do you have evidence? Please don't start accusing people or organizations of things unless you are willing to explain it in the same post please. Otherwise it makes you look bias. Sad

Wow, that's some old dirt. Wink I couldn't help but noticed an interesting sentence:
Quote:
Rose of Versailles creator Riyoko Ikeda has expressed her disapproval of people cosplaying as her characters on more than one occasion.

Someone better gives me a good explanation on this:

While I wouldn't call AX people with the word you replaced with asterisks, I do want to know under what kind of circumstance did Ikeda-sensei express such disapproval, or if she had expressed it at all.

There was another female mangaka who was VERY photo-friendly at a con (and I dare say she was the most beautiful mangaka I had ever met), but later we received a notice from her publisher to have her photographs taken down. Sometimes you don't know what or whom to believe.

Um, it was in reference to Ikeda, not AX. Flash some cash in front of her, and she'll "forget" that she hates cosplays of her works for a few moments.

I know, but I still wonder when or if she has expressed her disapproval.

So, did any of the teams have to bribe or sleep with the judges? It seems that WCS is a depraved haven for stories about how some contestants do whatever means possible to get a ticket to Japan and win.


Dude, that's my little sister you're talking about Razz
