Do you believe that cosplaying is for everyone?
I was scrolling through YouTube until I saw a video from "ProudtobeAsian" saying that cosplaying is only for Asians not westerners.They included that westerners are racist for cosplaying as anime characters instead of their own cartoons in which is disrespecting us asians. One question, HOW exactly? Wtf is the meaning "racist" nowadays? just saying "I like the color black" is considered racist when it isn't. So how is cosplaying as something racist towards Asians? I am proud to be Asian but I am NOT going to be proud if my own race is going around telling westerners that cosplay is only for asians. I believe that cosplay is for everyone and anyone who loves anime regardless of their race. Another thing that bothers me is how they judge westerners' cosplay. "As you can see,Her hair is much darker than our character's and her outfit is completely horrible"Who cares?They are showing their love for anime and it isn't appreciated. I want to be able to cosplay in the future but the thing I'm afraid of is judgemental people like Proudtobeasians. And the thing that absolutely pisses me off, is that people actually agree. My head was about to explode the second I read those comments and watched the video.There is NO rule stating that cosplaying is only for Asians and that westerners cannot cosplay. I'm sorry if it looks like I'm making a big deal out of this but I am an anime fan and I honestly disagree. You guys can comment your opinions whether it's good or bad, I will understand.

Cosplay IS for everyone. Racism is insulting a person because of their race. Cosplay is not an insult. Also read an article about some Japanese cosplayers who said they'd love to go to an American con because they looked cool. So not all Asian have the opinions you mentioned. No one owns cosplay and no one has any right to tell you you're too fat, skinny, short, tall, old, or ugly to do it. A person is cosplaying because its fun and what does that have to do with anyone else? Of course, everyone is entitled to think or not to think that a person cosplayed their favorite character well. They can think so and opt not to get a picture or whatever but they cannot comment on it (unless a compliment) because they have no right to hurt the other person's feelings. Snobby cosplayers are the worst
