Why is it always cringe and reeks of hubris and arrogance from the person cosplaying? It feels highly narcissistic.

why make a thread when you answered your own question in the OP?

Because it's always schizo as fuck
They don't have a simple and appealing character.
Every character that exists for some anime or whatever was a character that someone came up with in their head and could just as well have been an oc. But these guys don't make characters like that, they make horrible abominations with a million trinkets and details, tattoos, necklaces, rings, multicoloured eyes, multicoloured hair, bat wings with angel wings, boots with belts attached to them and necklaces on those belts.
And not to mention the lore behind these oc's, they can't settle for anything coherent like "oh my character is wizard, he casts spells" It has to be something a demi trans-god hyper dimensional exiled king, cursed by the embodiment of chaos itself who was once his girlfriend, and every full moon he turns into a wolf with 6 dicks, all of which point to the closest milennium item.

Have your free (you)

OC cosplay is fine, but if OP is talking about picrel in the OP. Steampunk psuedo furries are among the most annoying faggots out there

cosplaying an oc isn't inherently hubris. Every cosplayer goes in knowing they want attention from a cosplay crowd fandom. I dressed as Nathan Drake and got a lot of compliments. then I cosplayed as an obscure Resident evil character and more people thought I was Leon and didn't get much recognition at all.
So many people cosplay now to act as pseudo models, especially girls with big tits. Gaining a following to become a micro celebrity.

If your OC was actually good, other people would be cosplaying it instead of you
