popular, but controversial:

I think people should cosplay whoever they want to, no matter their body type and no one should be made fun of for not matching the character's body type, but I don't like looking at cosplayers whose body type doesn't match the character as much as I do cosplayers whose body type DOES match. Like for example, I prefer a thin Ariel over a fat one, and a fat Ursula over a thin one. Most characters are designed to be thin, which may not be fair, but that's how it is.

Again, I'm not saying there's something WRONG with a fat person cosplaying a thing character---there isn't--- and I definitely don't think anyone should be made fun of or spoken to rudely for being fatter than the character they portray. I just don't find them as aesthetically pleasing as someone who is shaped like the character actually is.

How do you feel about white people cosplaying characters of another race?

See, this is why I get reeeaaaally suspicious of people who say they want cosplays to be "super accurate". It usually, from my experience with cosplay elitists, leads to racist remarks against people who aren't fair skinned cosplaying characters who are. SJWs do the same thing, but in reverse.

What makes especially sad is when white people who cosplay things from eastern media (usually video games or anime/manga/manhwa/you know where this is going) getting all uppity about darker skinned people cosplaying the same thing. Like c'mon, fat chance that Miku or Haruhi's white.

What those people fail to grasp is the concept of mukokuseki. Unless specified otherwise, all those characters in Japanese media are considered Japanese. Which just makes all those white people complaining about darker-skinned people cosplaying those characters look foolish.

bit late, but don't really care. Skin color to me is kind of "eh, whatever" in terms of accuracy (unless it's like SUPER SPECIFIC like the character is BLUE or w/e. Natural skin tones idgaf. But if we have a fat white girl and a black thin girl cosplaying Elsa from Frozen, I'd rather look at the thin black girl because I can WAY more easily accept skin color change than, like, the addition of an entire other person's weight onto her body.

SA Should clarify that I am ayrt. "Don't really care" means I don't really care what someone's skin tone is.
