my reason for not joining up cosplay is that there is a serious lack of nonshitty black characters. like the world needs a millionth Storm cosplayer.

and i keep getting 'it wouldn't look right, it'd just be like you wearing a [insert white/other race character] costume, not actually being them' from my friends.

:(

[(Anonymous)]

no offense, but your friends kind of suck. i've seen people of many different races cosplay a given character better than the white cosplayer next to them. cosplay whoever you want! :)

This.

Seconding this motion. You either need better friends, or your friends need to shape up. :-/

The majority of cosplayers in anime fandom in the west are white and predominately cosplay asian characters. So try not to worry about it.

[hoshika.livejournal.com]

A lot of people cosplay, and they don't let judge-y asshole stop them from doing that. So you shouldn't either! You don't have to be white, asian, and skinny to cosplay. That's what those "elitist cosplayers" want you to think so you can hate yourself and not enjoy your fandom.

So fuck'em! Do what you want anon!

[fairhearing.livejournal.com]

Racebending ftw tho, anon.

[zyxwvutsrq321.livejournal.com]

))): that's really shitty of your friends to say.

personally, i like seeing racebent cosplays, or cosplays where the person is too tall, too short, too fat or thin or unbusty or whatever a LOT, since oftentimes, people end up putting extra effort into the costumes and characterization, to make up for not looking like a carbon copy of the character. but even if you just throw something on for fun, there's no reason to get upset.

so if you feel like cosplaying, you should! unless you're uncomfortable with it in which case you should do whatever makes you feel good, ok? (:

Best Kikyo from Inu Yasha cosplay I ever saw was Black OP, forget the friends who say such a thing and have fun!

[liyosa.livejournal.com]

Your friends are shitty.

I don't give a fuck about your race so long as you did the costume right. And if you did it brilliantly, I will fangirl you to hell :3 (well in the pictures I mean).

... Okay that makes me slightly stalkerish but I promise it won't go beyond going 'omg they look so good!1111' at the photos!

There's a fellow who goes to a con I frequent almost every year, he's black and cosplays Sora. He's a con favourite.

Ignore your friends. They do not sound like particularly enjoyable people.

If you're interested, here's a list of black anime characters. It's a bit depressing to look at though, since it's mostly very minor characters or Big Scary Black Men.
