what is this retarded secret

Blah, blah, don't use retarded as an insult, blah.

blah blah, don't whine about stupid things, kick in the groin

There are people out there who have mentally handicapped family and friends, and they think you're an asshole and I personally think that it wouldn't kill you to show a little fucking courtesy. If it matters that much to them, respect their damn wishes and find another synonym for stupid. I assume that since you are not retarded you have the capability to use better words.

go away

Eh, there's been dumber.

Is...is this racist?

This feels sort of vaguely racist.

What does 'trying to look Japanese' even entail.

I assume OP meant white people trying to make themselves look more Japanese, even though Lelouch is white in canon? You can use make-up to give your eyes a more Asian look? Now that you pointed it out, I can't really think of what trying to look Japanese would entail, either. Yep, joining you in feeling that this seems vaguely racist.

Isn't OP essentially asking someone not to yellowface because the character isn't even asian? And isn't pretty much any "plz no yellowfacing" request a good one?

How is this secret racist? 'Cause I'm not getting it.

See Visps post, I took the opposite reading, though I guess hers makes more sense.

>stop trying to look japanese

i'm sure actual japanese people care enough about your sensibilities to stop cosplaying whoever the fuck they want

I think if you're going to tell people how to cosplay Lelouch, you should spell his name right. :)

I don't know, I don't cosplay myself but it seems to me a bit silly to only cosplay characters whose physical appearance you fit? Especially when it comes to anime or Superhero types, chances are that only a few people are as buff/big-chested/tall/lean/skinny/etc. as the originals.

Yeah, it will make you look closer to the original if you have the same body type, but whatever. I just don't think that general physical resemblance should be that important. Shouldn't the costume itself be the most important part?

this is one of the reasons i don't cosplay. i'm a) male and b) really really short, and i'm paranoid that people will come up to me and say, "wtf are you doing, you're a foot too short to cosplay this character, lololol you suck"

I'm actually Japanese. But I want to cosplay as Lelouch. But am I not allowed to look Japanese? I'm confused.

I assumed OP meant white people trying to make themselves look more Japanese, even though Lelouch is canonically white?

So you can't cosplay if you don't have a certain body type? Riiiiiight.

Oh joy, body-shaming and *~*omg weeaboos*~* both in one secret. :T

Firstly, who cares?

...actually, no, that's my only point.

1. For shame, cross-posting a secret from tumblr. This was a crappy secret when I saw it the first time. Now it's just crappy attention-seeking whining.

2. Anybody can cosplay whatever the hell they want. Cosplay is not serious business for fuck's sake. Just go have fun.

Wasn't Lelouch's mam *~*NIHONJIN*~*
^^^ honest question ^^^, I only watched the anime and I'm pretty sure it mentioned her being Japanese, so wouldn't lelouch be hapa?

No.

.... Why are you intense about what is effectively teenagers and adults playing dress up?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love cosplay and think it's pretty awesome, but don't take it too seriously.
