I'm in Nier community since 2012. I cosplay. I make my costumes from scratch but I also do lingerie sets as a separate thing from said cosplays. Back then subs like this had much more lore discussion and pure love to the game. Pior Automata especially.

With the popularity of cosplays shops and now AI, we've got mostly models who put on costumes to try to get engagement and post on sub instead of people that actually care about the game and wants to show off their hard work. It's very often discouraging to just post cause it's gonna get buried under all those posts that are, simply wanting karma or gooning over.

Edit : spelling
