[Mirage_cld]

*edited: I will be compiling the data for analysis on 5th June 1200hrs*

Feel free to answer and provide reasons if you desire. Just wanna do a short analysis on current cosplay scene.

Will involve some trademark related questions since we are the only nation in the world that successfully trademarked the word "cosplay".

Qn 1:
"To protect cosplay, someone has to own cosplay's name."

disagree, there are many more ways which can be done without even getting close to something as stupid as attempting to apply for a pointless trademark.

____________________________________________
Qn 2:
"Trademark laws are created to prevent abuse of hobbies, culture."

disagree, trademarks are as what it's name means, a mark which identifies the trade.

_____________________________________________
Qn 4:
"I am not a cosplayer, I dun need education on cosplay. Cosplay needs to be protected."

disagree, if i'm not a cosplayer and if i agree to this, it would mean i'm subconciously degrading cosplayers to animal status who can't speak up for themselves.

disagree, if having a commercial entity protecting my interest means turning my hobby into a source of revenue for the commercial entity. no thank you.

Qn 1:
"To protect cosplay, someone has to own cosplay's name."

____________________________________________
Qn 2:
"Trademark laws are created to prevent abuse of hobbies, culture."

"I am a cosplayer, I dun need education on cosplay. I just need to be protected."

3) N/A - but i can say that such protection might not be necessary

_____________________________________________
Qn 4:
"I am not a cosplayer, I dun need education on cosplay. Cosplay needs to be protected."

2) disagree - protected from what. unless the activity is in a way profitable

_____________________________________________
Qn 5:

Qn 9:
"SCC is appointed as the official representation of cosplay in Singapore"

3) Neutral - Considering there are only two major clubs in singapore and SCC (or CCS) being the one that commands a higher profile, they can be the representative unless there is another entity up to challenge that position.
_____________________________________________

Qn 10:
"local cosplayers is the representation of Singapore"

2) disagree - representation in terms of what?
_____________________________________________

Qn 11:
"Cosplay is a subset of ACG"

3) Neutral - Cosplay is a subset of ACG, but can also be a subset of novels and such. one dressing as a elf from LOTR, Starwars is known as cosplaying too.

Qn 1:
"To protect cosplay, someone has to own cosplay's name."

Disagree

There is no need to protect cosplay.
____________________________________________
Qn 2:
"Trademark laws are created to prevent abuse of hobbies, culture."

Disagree

Trademark laws are created to protect business interests.
_____________________________________________
Qn 3:

Disagree

Protected?! From what?! Err... global warming? LOL
____________________________________________

Disagree

Disagree that cosplay needs protecting.
____________________________________________
Qn 5:
"I want protection by commercial entities and not non-profit organisations."

Disagree

Why would we need protection?! From what?!
_____________________________________________
Qn 6:
"Cosplay is not a generic term"

Disagree.

Dictionary Definition of "generic":
Not protected by trademark registration: “Cola” and “shuttle” are generic terms.

Therefore, I think Cosplay is a generic term.
_____________________________________________
Qn 7:
"I am educated on cosplay by clubs & societies"

Disagree

Since when?!
_____________________________________________

Qn 8:
"I am educated on cosplay by my friends"

Agree

This is true to an extent.
__________________________________________

Qn 9:
"SCC is appointed as the official representation of cosplay in Singapore"

Strongly Disagree

Who appointed *them* as the "official representation"?!
_____________________________________________

Qn 10:
"local cosplayers are the representation of Singapore"

Do you mean:
1. Local cosplayers represent Singapore (as a country)? - no relevance.
- or -
2. Local cosplayers represent Singapore Cosplay? - Agree.

Cosplay in Singapore is represented by Singaporean cosplayers as a whole of course.
This reminds me of a quote I used to hear in school a lot.
"A school is only as good as its students"

Therefore, Singapore Cosplay is only as good as Singaporean cosplayers.
_____________________________________________

Qn 11:
"Cosplay is a subset of ACG"

Agree

I would think ACG is the primary motivator for most cosplayers, no?

Mildly Disagree

What's there to know?

This may seem complacent but... what's there to know?

This may seem complacent but... what's there to know? Though I think there are certain interesting "episodes".

_____________________________________________

Qn 17:

Disagree

As long as I cosplay good, that's okay. If my cosplays look bad. I'd die of shame first.

Sad to say. There just seems to be so many problems and politics in this tiny community.

To Mr Clive, Please get the right person.
I am the one who trademark Cosplay and not the Singapore Cosplay club,
and please stop all your stupid and dirty attempt in making the singapore cosplay club look bad.

Firstly, As the founder, the first and only president of the illegal cosplay club, you betrayed the original members of the club by helping you to make Raywing and MAC look bad so that you can form an union to be the head of the union community. Thats why we all left you on your own to create your own CCS.

secondly, after I told you I trademark the cosplay.
And refuse to help you by using my word trademark COSPLAY to force the cosplayer to obey your cosplay definition, you create a fake account and leak the thing out and make me sound like I am a bad guy.

Thirdly, You make a fake report to the police accusing The Singapore Cosplay club is a illegal club by using the agenda of your old illegal cosplay club. And mislead the police that all the cosplayer in my forum are orgainisng illegal outing.

You are the one who started the illegal club and now you went to the police station and push the blame to me.

and now i really wonder wat is ur main purpose of doing this survey?
AND PLEASE STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE WITH YOUR STUPIDITY.
When did Singapore Cosplay Club want to rule or represent Singapore Cosplay.
We are just a club, and we hardly got the funds to cater cosplay event for all member not to say the entire Singapore. YOU are the one who want to represent THE SINGAPORE COSPLAY COMMUNITY, stop making the Singapore Cosplay Club the bad guys so that you can be the good guy and represent the singapore cosplay community.

Okie the Singapore Cosplay Club surrender. and now you are the good guy and you can now represent the Singapore Cosplay community. All hail king Clive.

Now if you excuse me Your Lowness, I have some Cosfest matter to attend to.
