Cosplaying and Overweight

What do you think about overweight cosplayers when they cosplay a character that is not obese or overweight? Does it annoy you? Does it disgust you? Does it bother you? Do you find it funny? Do you think that maybe overweight people should only cosplay characters that are around there weight area? Discuss.

Cosplaying should be about having fun and such. People who get "annoyed" or "disgusted" have nothing better to do than to hate. Such people should be ignored. That's like saying someone with dark skin can't cosplay as a character with light skin. People need to stop being so ignorant and judgmental.

Yeah I agree, I know it should be about having fun and such I agree! But I know there are people who are very obsessive on the fandom and if they see a favorite character of theres cosplayed by an overweight person or someone who isn't the character's skin color they say stuff like ' Look at that FAIL Cosplay. ' I've heard it when I went to AX from a couple of passing by people cause I was alone for alot of the time and I felt bad because the person cosplaying doesn't even know they are saying that but maybe they wouldn't care but if it were me I would of.. Also for females they are rather mean because last year I remember seeing an overweight girl cosplaying a very popular hentai/game character who is skinny with big breasts but everyone was bashing on her and mostly otaku guys who were like the character's BIG FANS. The character the girl was cosplaying is Super Sonico, And alot of guys were like picking on her and telling her to stop Defiling the character Super Sonico. And they were like really serious about it not even laughing they thought she was like trying to ruin Super Sonico's reputation as a character? And she was like 260 ish pounds but had her fat in nice areas but she had tummy fat obviously she was ' Obese ' but I remember the males bashing on her and some females like going 'Leave her alone ' and even I stepped in and laid the line and told them to go away and leave her alone she has the right to cosplay anyone she wants and one of the guys said ' Look they are like a disease they flock together like pigs to protect each other. Fat people are disgusting ' And I was really offended.. And then when some actual aveage to thin girls came ( dressed as characters from code geass and Gundam i believe ) and told them to leave us alone they actually left after that I tried to talk to the girl cosplaying sonico but she was crying and just left the Convention altogether when I stepped in to defend her. I really was put off by this experience even if it was like 5 minutes long it was really wrong and now I am very unsure about cosplaying a character that is not obese or overweight.. Even though I really want to Chiaki from Dangan Ronpa.. But I'm so unsure if I should I mean will I get bullied like that overweight girl did? I mean I might not because its a character from a game and not a hentai, Super Sonico is like one of those characters many otaku guys want to call there waifu, And shes just a character especially from a game where you take picturres of her and she does erotic stuff but shes 'pure and innocent ' lmfao. But I could understand why loyal fans of that character would bash on an overweight person cosplaying her but it's still wrong. But I'm really unsure of what to do..I just don't want to be picked on for my weight.

Why is this even something to talk about if you don't feel comfortable cosplaying don't do it as shin just stated it should be about having fun

But I really do want to cosplay... I'm just not sure if I'll get corner picked on or something..Maybe I won't maybe that was just a really bad experience because my friends told me that never ever happens.. Argh I have the worst luck sometimes..

That took a little while to read. Lol. Stories like this is exactly why I dislike people. Don't let them get to you though, cosplay as whoever you want. I would never allow negative people to ruin my fun. (And if you want, i'll be your personal bodyguard at AX. Haha.)

Lol at the personal bodyguard thing but yes you will never know until you try it and believe it or not I seen some overweight people cosplaying and their cosplays are amazing and well thought of

"Lol" Nothing. I have nothing better to do. Oo And yes, i've seen some overweight cosplayers in the past that looked amazing as well.
