I have to agree. The people who have put serious effort into their costumes and have chosen their character with a sense of humor (for example Ursula, Barf from Spaceballs), don't attract anywhere near the same amount of ridicule as someone who is dressed in a badly fitting outfit of Felicia from Darkstalkers. In those cases it's just bitching from the usual assholes who will attack anyone.

Oh, come on, anon. I don't cosplay, but even I can see that this is a ridiculous argument. How many fat characters are there out there? How many that aren't a joke? Maybe someone wants to dress up as a character without being a walking commentary on their own weight and don't want to cosplay with a sense of humor.

The serious effort part, I agree with you on, but don't tell people what they have to dress as.

Look, and I'm saying this as a large person: if you aren't willing to alter the outfit in such a way that the costume actually fits, you should not go outside dressed as that character and not expect people to say something. If you can deal with people saying something and not give a fuck, more power to you, but it will happen.

Cosplay clothes are not some kind of special category. They are still clothes. If I go outside in short shorts and a bare midriff I fully expect jerks talking behind my back. Adding a ponytail and calling myself Lara Croft changes nothing.

I'd still do Lara Croft, but I'd change her outfit.

You're replying to a comment I did not make.

No, I'm not going to tell people what to dress as, but if you are going put on something that is basically a fluffy bikini that wouldn't flatter most thin people and take yourself seriously, I'm going to snigger behind your back.

Other people have commented on the same in this thread, but it is possible to modify outfits to fit your body type instead of making an exact copy that won't look good on you at all.
