I've been on the other end of this, even.

>bubble over with excitement, i happen to be cosplaying another character from the same series
>approach him
>dude gets really confused
>'oh haha yeah my friend made this i don't know much about it or anything she just wanted me to wear it'

Can anyone recommend some good wrinkle creams? I'm looking for treatment rather than prevention - my undereye area is beginning to break out in fine lines when I smile.

>tfw I'm only 24 and dealing with this shit

People complaining about white cosplayers picking a black/brown character. I know the concept of "blackface", but for Pete's sake, that's not what cosplay is about. There is a difference between

>"I'm dressing up as a BLACK GUY LOL LOOK AT ME and wearing shitty make up and racial stereotypes as props"

and

>"I'm cosplaying as my favourite character who just happens to be black. Don't worry, I'll put decent effort into the costume and the make-up."

Rrrrggghhhh. It makes me so mad when people don't realize the difference between these two. I understand the "my race isn't a costume!!1" point of view, but come on, that's not what these cosplayers are doing. They aren't wearing your race as a costume, they are dressing up as a character from a different race and want to portray them as accurately as possible.
