no you don't. anyone can cosplay Tifa. anyone.

are you going to necessarily look in the mirror and think to yourself, gosh I look like I stepped off the screen? maybe not, but that's not the be-all end-all of cosplay. it's not even the most important part, I say as someone who cosplays and puts a lot of effort into looking good. sometimes you just want to wear the outfit and That's Enough. if you want to be a perfect screen-exact vision, that's your choice and it's on you to own it, but you don't get to apply your personal standard to other people.

I will never gatekeep cosplay.

Calm down, the conversation is about how some characters' body shapes are more important or a bigger part of their overall image than others, and it is implied that this is about "cosplay accurately and capture all the important points" not that people are not allowed to cosplay whatever they want, as inaccurately as they want

Anyone can cosplay Kirby but that doesn't mean their costume will be particularly accurate unless they're actually in a round pink body suit

Yeah, I agree, but I would personally be uncomfortable dressing like Tifa and it's not because of my body type. Props to people who do, though! But this secret is about a single cosplayer drawing a line for themselves.

Yeah, exactly. I personally would be comfortable cosplaying Yoko from Gurren Lagann but not Kamina despite the fact that Yoko's outfit shows way more skin (assuming I was using a skintone shirt/bodysuit for Kamina) because I just couldn't pull off the Kamina energy and that's such a huge part of his character. It's not a body type thing, it's just a "I don't have the right vibes for the character" thing.

+1 the energy/attitude is a big one for me

[(Anonymous)]

Tell me about it. There are a lot of characters I love but would never cosplay because I couldn't do their energy/attitude justice.

Like Sailor Moon. I could pull it off body-wise but I couldn't manage that level of cute and cheerful and you're just not Sailor Moon if you're not cute and chipper and smiley.
