For me personally the line is how much of the character's appearance is "the iconic outfit" vs "the body of the being wearing the outfit"

A character whose iconic image is "girl in a bikini" (e.g. Quiet from MGS) is going to be 90% "looking like the girl" and 10% "the recognizable bikini" where as a character whose iconic image is "girl in suit of armor" (e.g. Saber from Fate/Stay Night) is going to be 90% "the recognizable suit of armor" and 10% "the wearer's body". Same with male characters like 90% of cosplaying Zangief from Street Fighter is "literally being a big ass shirtless man" whereas cosplaying Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat is 90% outfit. It doesn't make Zangief less iconic but the imagery relies more heavily upon the body characteristics of the person so if those don't match up it's just kinda wrong-er to me than if idk, Sub-Zero is a 5ft 50 year old woman in his iconic suit and mask. Nothing to do with how attractive the people are

It gets muddy in the middle but the extreme ends are v clear

Oh, this makes sense to me as well.

I can wear a costume, and I do make a lot of effort with cosplay (I've cut and dyed my hair for conventions but I'm no bikini model lol) but...yeah, this.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a really good way of putting it. Like, to use two examples from the same piece of media, if you're going to cosplay Tifa you really kind of need to be fit and busty because so much of the character's image is based around being attractive and athletic. But with Aerith, anyone could cosplay Aerith and they would look fine because what makes her iconic is her outfit and the very recognizable braid rather than her body type.

OP of #6

[(Anonymous)]

That’s the one that was supposed to be The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, (probably) not #5.

It's sad to see how BTS stuff for small/mid budget period pieces from like the 1990s go into such detail on the costumes and accessories..and now a lot of stuff looks like Party City Halloween costumes 😬

[(Anonymous)]

I've always felt it was the fans projecting their feelings onto Taylor.

[(Anonymous)]

It was definitely not high budget (which is well known) but every time I see Reign "costume appreciation" gif sets on tumblr, I cringe so hard. I've never seen a historical show with worse costumes. I don't blame the costume designers cause their budget was one dollar and a shoe lace but... I can't look at it.
(Meanwhile I can look at The Tudors just fine, so it's not like I have high standards)

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds fascinating! Do you have a link to the costume designer talking about changes in the industry?

[(Anonymous)]

THIS
This thing is q anon levels of delusional and I still regularly see it.
I wish people would spend their energy upholding actual queer artists

[(Anonymous)]

lol I actually like this style and I have too much standarts

I think everyone deserves to dress any way they wish, others' judgment be damned. My entire life has been extreme judgment when all I want to do is feel confident in the clothes I wear, express my nerdy interests through my clothes. Fuck what anyone else thinks. If they want to punch down on me they'll still be a miserable fuck who can only talk shit about others and I'll still be wearing my clothes that make me feel like I'm channeling a character I find badass.
I can feel proud that I put thought into my clothes and how I present myself to the world. And if anyone wants to find a way to make fun of me, mock me, shame me, whatever the fuck, is not my problem.
Fuck getting accepted into "looking good enough".
Just be you and forget anyone who tries to make you feel bad or small for how you want to dress.
Day to day or for special events.

I don't understand the point of it. I agree with what you said about not trying to out celebrities who haven't come out.
