There are several commenters defending it.

I guess I’m the only one who thinks this is kinda awesome.

Some of us have seen the end results of making a fad fashion a permanent part of your body. Me, I’ve never seen it work out very well.

It’s Chinese, and yea, offensive even if you don’t speak the language. I guess it’s Chinese Tosh.0 or something.

LOL, yes I’m sure she’s doing it just to be manipulative, even mean!

What’s that old quote? “People are disturbed not by things, but by the views they take of them.”

The English-speaking world isn’t really big on theatrical makeup as a subculture.

Wow, I just watched the second video. I’m a little shocked at the humor! I have never seen anything like that come from Japan.

Because it is different, so we must hate it.

Yeah, how dare she try to look like a thing that she likes! Right? Is that why we’re upset?

I know, right?

Emphasis on “seems like.”

Yes, because anybody who would make themselves look like this is obviously an idiot with no concept of reality or the future.

That’s cool you gave her your permission. I bet she appreciates it.

Comedy Central should hire her for “Archer” advertisements starring Krieger’s girlfriend.

“cosplay”: “costumes + play”. It’s a Japanese portmanteau of two English words that has passed back to the West. Usually it refers to dressing up as a character from a comic/cartoon/TV show/movie: “Wow, check out that awesome Slave Leia cosplay”.

The odd part is, in closeup you can see she’s drawn in epicanthic folds, while the anime esthetic is to look as UN-Japanese as possible.

I think that’s more than just corseted. It looks like she had some ribs removed.

I think this is completely awesome. Being seriously into something and being successful at it is entirely the purpose of life.

Or the ridiculously streamlined nose. I have a very narrow nose as far as noses go, and she looks like she might need straws in her nostrils just to sleep soundly at night.

Just seems like another example of females with low self-esteem conforming to what some mentally underdeveloped teenage boys desire after they masturbate to too many manga comics.

Her make up techniques are good. Her corseting is what is really impressive here. There was a time in my life where I could tie in to 17 inches or so… but man what a human looking waist I have these days. I don’t see the creep factor here. How is this different from other types of body mod/expression? Or even just from theatrical make-up?

Or the one from Spirited Away. I for one, am waiting for my Totoro fur.
