That is an extremely creepy man (http://www.cosfu.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1843) :| Trust me, it would do everyone a favor if he just stopped going to cons.

Also. There's something called cosplaying for your body type (or something you can reasonably pull off). It's not just hating on fat people. A stick-thin Yoko with no tits or ass is just as fail as a fat Rikku :| Maybe they'll be having fun, but most people don't want to see that.

If you're going to cosplay someone outside of your body type, at least do it right and not make the costume fail.

Yeah, yeah, I know, people should be able to cosplay whatever they want, it's about having fun, etc etc. But unless you're prepared for negative backlash, don't.

tl;dr = COSPLAY IS SRS BZNESS

FUCKING AGREED SO HARD

11 OP

The characters I've ever wanted to cosplay were ones that are covered up. They show a little skin here or there--maybe a little bit of the chest, or a little bit of leg--but never a lot of stomach, or back, since those are my problem areas.. and none of them could really be considered 'scantily clad.' I think that people should pick cosplays that fit their body type, of course, but I would never make fun of someone for not doing it the way people who make fun of overweight cosplayers do.

I think everyone should take that into consideration when doing cosplay, though, not just overweight people. Super scantily-clad skinny girls isn't okay, either.. Naturally they could get away with showing more skin, but a lot of costumes are just over-doing it. And just becaue the body type is right doesn't automatically mean it's a good cosplay. But if you're fat, even if it's a beautifully done costume, it's automatically bad because you're fat. I just wish it went both ways.

I don't make fun of them, I just wish that they had picked something more flattering. There are plenty of great characters more suited to larger people's body types.

Exactly. Which is why I made my point of stick-thin Yoko without tits or ass. She's a character that's supposed to be curvy and has some meat on her, I don't want to see a super skinny flat girl in her costume any more than I'd want to see a fat person in it.

And just becaue the body type is right doesn't automatically mean it's a good cosplay.
^ This. Very much.

But if you're fat, even if it's a beautifully done costume, it's automatically bad because you're fat. I just wish it went both ways.
That's why you cosplay for your body type. I guarantee you, no one is going to bitch about an overweight person cosplaying a character who is large, especially if it's well done. And if they do, they're a retard.

And in anime, for girls especially.. HOW many 'large' female characters are there? You're pigeonholing an entire group of people in cosplaying one or two characters.

Cosplay =/= just anime
