ia

To me, though I'm not a cosplayer, I see cosplay as a form of art. Just like playing a song or painting a picture or writing a story. It's totally fine to do these things and share them with the public, but when you share with the public it should be with the expectation that you're opening yourself up to criticism.

Lots of people do different types of art knowing that they aren't great and they aren't looking to impress anyone, and when they get critiqued they shrug it off because they weren't trying to improve anyway. That's cool. But if you're a 300 lb hairy bear of a man and you cosplay as Sailor Moon and then get upset when people comment on your weight or sex or body hair or wahtever, that's not cool. It's not cool of people to be mean to you, but it's also not cool to expect praise for something done poorly.

So fat people should stick to... Which characters, again? I'm sorry, but most fat characters are gross and negative stereotypes.

huh. I have a really fat (like, not curvy-chubby, more like totoro.) friend and she regularly takes home prizes from cosplay contests because she can pull off all kinds of characters that are never cosplayed because thin people look ridiculous in these outfits. like, ursula is totally awesome, but I would look like her thin, less awesome sister. dito for beloved mascots like Totoro.
