/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Be black cosplayer
>"Oh anon you should cosplay [insert black character]!"
>Cosplay as non-black character
> "xD are you doing the black version of the character?!"

I cannot stand people who say this shit me when I'm at cons or when I'm brainstorming for a cosplay to do. Every time someone makes these comments towards me I have to hold back the urge to tell them to go fuck off or slap them in the mouth. Don't any of them realize they're doing cosplays of characters that aren't even their race? I don't even make it a subject of me being black when I cosplay but everyone else has to fucking force it. I do cosplays of black characters but I always treat it the same as any other non-black character I do.
