Yeah, people just don't want to bother with selecting characters they can cosplay well. It applies to everyone regardless of whether they're considered attractive, thin, overweight, what have you. There are going to be characters that some should cosplay and others that they should not. Liking a character's design doesn't mean you should automatically cosplay that character.

It is all about fun, but my eyes as well as the eyes of others really don't need to see another 350 lb Gunner Yuna.
