It doesn’t matter how many times I see girls/women in ‘cosplay’ (portmanteau words meaning costume play), it still amazes me that they can go about their daily life dressed in such ridiculous costumes. I could understand it if they were 10 years old but these are young women. There are a couple of girls at school who sometimes wear cosplay outfits on a Friday but they’re about 15-16 years old.
On the streets of Shanghai you see women in their early twenties dressed as one of their favourite Japanese or Korean characters. I guess they’re trying to look as sexually appealing as the fictional characters they are recreating. Who knows but to my eyes (I am not the only one) it looks ridiculous and yet another aspect of Chinese women which all weight to the opinion of many foreigners that many of them are very immature. It has been said that you can take up to 7 years off a Chinese girl/young woman to get the equivalent developmental age in western girls.
How many British girls in their early twenties would do their shopping dressed like this? I don’t know any!
