Dude, you're on the bitchiest/cattiest board on 4chan. I mean really, did you even know what website you're on?

Anyway, I could use the same logic on you: since you're so pissy about it, clearly you're a beta neckbeard douchebag who's angry at chicks because he can't get any girls to give him the time of day. Blanket statements suck, stop sucking.

....whO THE FUCK CARES HOLY SHIT

I'm a black cosplayer, I've been cosplaying for a while now, and I have black friends who cosplay just as hard as I do. I cosplayed as Rei Ayanami at Mechacon last year, with a septum ring in, and I got multiple photoshoots, people recognized my character, and other Evangelion cosplayers chased me down to take pictures. And it wasn't even my best cosplay, I borrowed it from my friend, who is a black guy. And he got even more praise than I did. Sure, get a pale white girl in the same outfit, people may like her version more, but I personally could care the fuck less. I was so happy at that con, and that was all that matters.

Elitist fucks always have to ruin fun things. If you have a problem with darker people cosplaying as lighter characters, so fucking be it, but what good is drilling "YOU'RE A BAD COSPLAYER BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRICAN COSPLAYING AS A PUREBRED EUROPEAN" into people's heads? Of course if you match the character better, the cosplay would go more your way. But if I want to cosplay Rei, or a white girl wants to cosplay Michiko, we "shouldn't", or "it's not the best idea", because of some factor that we can't control? Sounds like a load of horse shit to me.

At the end of the day, whether you're fat, skinny, short, tall, black, white, boy, girl, if you represent a character in a good way and youre happy with the outcome, none of the afforementioned should matter. Even if the cosplay itself isn't pleasing to the eye, if the person wearing it is happy, why should it matter?

We're quick to say that people who see cosplaying as "weird" or "crazy" are judgemental assholes, but we do even more judging in our own community.

Fucking idiots everywhere, I swear.
