So, using your logic...

people of color can only cosplay characters of color; if they want to cosplay a white character, they are shit out of luck.

only straight people can cosplay straight characters; as a lesbian, if I want to cosplay a straight woman, I am shit out of luck.

only men can cosplay male characters; which is a real shame, because some of the best (male character) comic book cosplayers I have met are women.

if someone wants to cosplay Charles Xavier, he had better be a HE and also paraplegic.

if someone wants to cosplay Magneto, better be a HE and also Jewish. Would you have to also be a Shoah survivor to cosplay Magneto?

if someone wants to cosplay Rorschach, better be a HE and not take a bath regularly, amirite?

Because, you know, it's apparently all about the ~realism~ and not the fun in your world. Heaven forbid that a fictional character with no feelings be desecrated by someone who doesn't have the right body type, or gender identity, or religion, or whatever other arbitrary qualifications you must have to play in your world.

Yeah, umm, no thanks. I'll just live in my happy "you can cosplay whatever the hell you want because it's supposed to be FUN" world.

except that you can't tell by looking that someone is of a different sexuality to the character and that fatness isn't something that can be shaved off by a costume?

lollll wow. not the op but you are ridiculous.

i assume you can't tell you are a lesbian by looking at you, correct? so who gives a fuck? it's the VISUAL PRESENTATION of the whole thing. you don't have to be a paraplegic to play xavier, just sit your damn ass down in a wheelchair.

if you are fat, attempting to cosplay a skinny character, it will look wrong. and yeah you know what it is a bit weird to see white people dressed as japanese characters, black people dressed as white characters etc.

if you're dressing up as someone for halloween, i'm sure no one will give any fucks about how you really look. cosplay is like racking up the nerdiness to the next level and accuracy is important. deal. with. it.
