/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I started a web series and production group that tries to use cosplayers playing their characters, and I've been treated like and called a monster because I use Actor/movie/hollywood standards for actors. Meaning that when I judge cosplay (as well as the cosplayers I will use for my work) I take into account not only the quality of their costume, or their acting, but the entire package, including height, weight, body type, hair and eye colour, and yes, even race.

I'm called a racist because when I judge cosplay at conventions if there was someone who was Goku, and had the most accurate costume, and performed amazing as Goku but was Black, I would give them a 9/10 because they don't appear to be the same race as their character.
Keeping in mind that I ONLY apply this standard to when people are competing. If you want to cosplay just to have fun, then you can be anything, or anyone you want, no matter what you look like, and I hope you have the time of your life.

Despite pointing out that if you cosplay for fun you can do whatever you want, and it's only when you compete that you be judged as I said above, I'm treated like a monster and a racist.

Picture relevant, it's myself as The heavy Weapons Guy from TF2 (wearing the loadout that I use for the game)
