Someone once told me to not cosplay my comfort character Jinx because I'm "too big" and I'd "suit a less revealing character more" ._.

"but most cosplayers-" yeah most, not all, we're not props, we're not objects, we're just a person. if you love that character so much, cosplay them yourself. istg what even is this argument? I'm here to craft, not to fulfill some stranger's wet dream. ppl like that are the reason I'm not posting my work online and why I have my insta private

some people really think when we put on a costume that we are there to serve them, and people just act like we are wild animals and ask us the most uncomfortable questions that they would never (at least I hope) ask regular people on the street. I've heard the opposite of this so many times, where I'll be wearing a costume of a character I LOVE (like Jyn Erso) and people just straight up say "I hate that character, you should cosplay Rey/Leia/etc." and CONTINUE ASKING WHY I WON'T and I'm like .... no????

Imagine some walking up to you and being like: “Hey can you cosplay my anime wifu? Come on she’s so great.” That’s so gross.

Thank you for making the distinction between suggestions and demands. Cosplay demands can be INCREDIBLY problematic when people demand you cosplay characters only because they are from the same marginalized group as the cosplayer. I have had a flood of people demanding I cosplay characters I've never even heard of only because they are canonical wheelchair users and I use a wheelchair. Thanks for speaking about this!

i was once at a con, and a girl said "Hey, you should cosplay *person out of an 18+ anime* And got so mad, as soon as I refused, because I am a minor. It was so irritating.

Not feeling comfortable cosplaying antagonists or characters in revealing outfits makes perfect sense to me.

I love how when you go “here’s an issue that makes cosplayers uncomfortable.” And the response is “shut up don’t say that.” People getting mad when you call them out…

Cosplay is also extremely expensive so we're not going to spend crazy moneys if we aren't into it or don't know/like the character you are demanding.

I only cosplay if I personally feel a connection to a character, and also like their design. I’m more of a cosplay newbie, who doesn’t really cosplay that much in public, so I’ve never gotten any demands, but I can’t imagine how irritating and uncomfortable that would make me feel

A FRIEND of mine once told me it was weird I had cosplayed a girl (character is Hu Tao and I am a guy) and she was pissed because she wanted to do the character and now that I "claimed" it I ruined it for her. Instead she requested I do another character (Zhongli) as to match together. Like I bought the cosplay because I want it and I dont feel comfortable cosplaying adult men characters because it makes me insecure. I offered to wear a different cosplay if we go to a meetup together and she straight up refused because I had "ruined everything". She ended up NOT even cosplaying at all.Like she doesnt own a single cosplay and has no interest in it, while I cosplay every other day and own several costumes. (Im not saying im more valid because I have more but like, was the tantrum really worth it if she lost interest so quickly)

"Because I have no interest in cosplaying your internalized misogyny" usually ends the conversation. 🙂

You don't look messy. You look very nice. Don't worry. And this has happened to me several times. people have asked me to cosplay characters that I hate or have never heard of before. Thanks from Lord JS.

This has happened to me too!! I was cosplaying Josuke from JJBA, a cosplay that took almost 2 years to put together and cost me almost a grand. I posted a tik tok of me in said cosplay only for me to get a comment saying “Why cosplay a male character though? You should’ve done Jolyne instead”. Like…NO??? 😭😭 Bro I haven’t even got to part 6 of Jojo’s yet (the part she appears in) 😭😭

I've also had a couple of these requests before as well. It almost feels like most of these requests don't realize cosplay isn't always about monetary or social gain.

Yes! It's honestly so frustrating and gross to have people treating u as an object just because you're a cosplayer. Back when I cosplayed Spinel I had a bunch of ppl in my DMs asking me to do really weird stuff in that cosplay just because Spinel was their waifu or whatever, even offering cash to do so, as if I were some prop 🤧 Anyways, thank you very much for this video Anya!😭💕 I do hope people get the message and learn to have some decency towards cosplayers

I have a cosplay request for you. Cosplay what you enjoy and makes you feel comfortable.

This happens to me a lot... And I try not to get too angry about it but the fact that it happens is enough to break me. So, thanks Anya for doing a rant video on this topic, because the sigh of relief I had when I heard you say "cosplay requests / demands". It really helped me believe that we're not alone as cosplayers we can stand together as a community, give feedback and even rant about things. ⭐

my fellow cosplayer just simply tell who ever asks her to cosplay a certain character that she has no intention to cosplay "ok, sure, but you have to buy me the whole thing that's needed" and they never go through with it XD

Agree with ALL these points! I also think sometimes when people give suggestions they sometimes word it like a request or genuinely think they are giving a suggestion but instead it comes off demanding. "This character made me think of you, I thought you may like this as a cosplay option" = good. "I have a new cosplay for your cosplay list!!" or "You NEED to cosplay this character!!" = getting demanding and into request territory. You don't NEED to cosplay anything you don't want to cosplay. And if you suggest a cosplay don't ever go around telling everyone that a cosplayer did something because YOU suggested it. That gets into a very odd possessive situation towards that cosplayer, who may not have cosplayed it because of your input but because they genuinely liked the character whether you suggested it or not.

I love how you explained your passion. You don't look tired, you look magic once again.

I feel this SO much. And I feel like many people think we're jerks for saying 'no' but we're not their personal dress-up doll. It especially peeves me when I'm posting a cosplay that I love and am proud of, and someone just says 'do '. All weird motives aside and the fact that it's just plain rude, it's like - are you gonna buy the cosplay for me?? We don't have infinite money and resources to cosplay just everything even IF we wanted to!

The way you describe the argument reminds of one where the roles were reversed somewhat. I take pictures of my cosplay friends, as a hobby. At some point, I decided to be brave and ask random cosplayers instead, because I had a theme for a shoot depending on a location. I asked on a discord server if there were any My Hero Academia cosplayers available for a rooftop shoot in a modern city. The rooftop would be available to the public for a limited time. It involved ordering tickets, time slots and it involved other visitors on the rooftop, so I wanted to get a small group, really 3 cosplayers max. So this guy enters the conversation, saying he doesn't have a My Hero Academia cosplay, but he has a totally unrelated cosplay, from a fantasy setting, which isn't really fitting for a rooftop shoot in a modern city, and he should be included anyway. Even after explaining it might be crowded and I'm looking for a small group so he's not invited, he still insists that he should come along. In the end, I didn't get any good responses from the Discord server, so I just left it and picked out models through Instagram. Cosplayers, don't be the guy that you don't like!

Some people sure are weird. There's so many cosplayers I follow that cosplay characters I don't know anything about and I'm just like "Oh that's cool looking. Good for them." and move on. Maybe I'll check out whatever the source material is if it's interesting to me. It's sad how entitled some people feel. Of course, the gross implications that are probably behind the insistence are also awful. 😖 I hope I never have to go through something like that.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS i feel like this will especially give new cosplayers a heads-up like that not all people asking/suggesting a cosplay have good intentions. whether they say it or not. great video as always anya :))

100% everything you just said. And while I don't have the same issue with portraying a villain (most bald characters are villains, and I like the Umbrella Corp. aesthetic) I understand your desire to not. I've definitely seen an uptick in people objectifying cosplayers. I have a few theories on why they've become so much more bold, recently, but the important thing is that everyone that sees this behavior shuts it down, and shuts it down hard.

Person: can you cosplay Nami? 😍 Cosplayers that are not comfortable with revealing outfits: no, I have no interest in that character and not comfortable in doing a cosplay of her. ********* End of conversation they can go and accept and respect a cosplayer's boundaries. I don't understand why they don't understand the meaning of no and throw a fit/make a huge scene when their requests get rejected. Sorry that some cosplayers do cosplay for themselves and not you 😒 geez is that the kind of attitude you'd get when your love gets rejected? Man won't get anybody that way 😬 But seriously though, Anya I love your cosplays, they inspire me so much to start cosplaying! Any suggestions on how to start on a super low budget? #broke Also cosplay suggestion, not really sure if there would be any characters you would cosplay, but Spy x Family? Super cute wholesome funny show that may be up your alley ❤️

I get a lot of suggestions and requests and I usually just respond with “Thanks for the suggestion” even if I absolutely hate the character. Saves a lot of nerve cells trying to explain to the idiots how much work goes into each cosplay. If they get too pushy I suggest to commission me and make sure to break down the cost. 1 photoshoot would normally take me ~20 hours to do in prep, shooting and editing + costume + photographer fee so even if you charge min wage the cost is enough to deter weirdos from asking anything further 💀

I never thought about it this way. I've only ever given suggestions if a cosplayer specifically asks for reccomendations but I will definitely keep this in mind going forward

Idk if this counts as a suggestion or request, I had a "friend" who I was going to a con with as Steven Universe characters once, and he told me to cosplay Smoky Quartz because they were "fat like me"

It is sometimes hard to understand the difference between cosplay suggestion (I'd see you as this character) and cosplay request (You should cosplay this character) so thanks for making this video! It is also so awkward when someone approaches you with a character you have litterally no knowledge about and insist you should cosplay them like stooooop

It's absolutely insane people forget there is an ACTUAL PERSON behind the cosplay and not someone to fulfill your IRL waifu fantasy. Thanks for speaking on this and even though you were worried initially, think you SLAYED it once again Anya! 🙌🙌🙌

You are strong and I appreciate you sharing this. I think it's important to talk about these things so we can combat it. I'm so sorry this has been happening to you, among many others. You know those sad little individuals just don't know how to handle no. The entitlement, I swear. Keep doing whatever the heck you want because this is your life, not theirs. I care for you, I support you, and I'm so glad to have you in the community. You're a stellar role model and I've always looked up to you. Still do, in fact. Take good care of yourself, I'll be supporting you all the way☆♡◇

I just realized that Halloween is like cosplaying you get to go in costume in both places.

Really glad you talked about suggestions versus demands. I personally love suggestions (but these have only come from friends) but the demands are just disgusting. :/

thiss!! i am constantly getting people in my comments telling me to cosplay certain characters and when i say no they get angry with me its the worst :/

As a young adult baby cosplayer I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen to me often/at all as my cosplay/cosplan choices have a deep meaning behind them to me and I would hate to have this new hobby ruined for me by weirdos online as I am not a stranger to that sort of thing in other situations.

I 100% agree with you. The suggestion thing is fine. I’ve found games and anime I love through suggestions. But it’s so disrespectful to assume cosplayers are cosplaying for your approval and entertainment.

its understandable why you feel this way. I've only been in the cosplay community for a short time and managed to avoid any major creeps and weirdos, but its always such a ongoing fear in the back of my mind when I go to a con that I'm gonna run into someone awful. I hate the fact just loving something and wearing a costume causes some people to just suddenly treat you like an object and a thing to serve them.

That's completely understandable. It's always people who don't cosplay that make these requests. On a similar note, I don't like it when people bring up memes involving certain characters during a convention. I understand that they just want to have fun because they find it funny, but it should be consensual. A few years back, the whole meme with Nagito from Danganronpa and Sans from Undertale was very popular and it was pretty much everywhere. I wore my Nagito cosplay to a convention and I had one group of younger cosplayers come up to me asking where Sans was. I get that they were just having fun, but I wasn't a fan of that meme. While that interaction didn't ruin my enjoyment of the cosplay, it did prompt me to temporarily retire the cosplay until the meme's popularity died down. Which did upset me a bit since I really enjoy cosplaying Nagito. I was lucky that it was a more positive interaction. Another cosplayer that I follow had a similar situation happen that didn't end so well due to the other person being an absolute a** about it afterward.

I can definitely relate. One thing that I've learned about cosplaying is that about 90% of the criticisms, requests and suggestions come from people who DON'T cosplay. Very interesting observation.

Yesss! Thank you so much for bringing this up! It's so uncomfortable

Thank you for doing educational type video. I personally have never seen this or had it happened to me, but to know that this happens is eye opening. I hate that this happens but good job sticking to your own rules you set for yourself. Sometimes I see all the suppper confident cosplayers and feel pressure to branch out of my comfort zone. And get stressed but then I remember cosplay is a fun thing, if I am not having fun I dont have to do it. Thank you again!

Thank you for bringing this Anya! I had a similar experience with someone asking me to cosplay Pyrrha from RWBY as much as I love the character, I can’t stand to cosplay her because of that interaction. No one should have to feel like they are a object, it’s disgusting

you dont look like a reck you look stunning like always

This is so valid omg. I totally agree that it's really annoying when people do that and act like you *have* to cosplay for *them* and all of the arguing about why not the person wants to is so frustrating!

Ughh thisss!!! I luckily haven't had to deal with this often but the few times I have were so awkward ._.

Thank you for spelling it out. It's really hard for me to put into words how it feels as a cosplayer. I had an ex that couldn't understand that I don't really like cosplaying characters that I don't know, especially with my body image issues at the time

This is great advice for I’m a cosplayer and gonna be cosplaying this year at the Colorado Comic-Con. So love the advice.

A lot of times I think that someone would have a good spec for X character, but I always keep it to myself. My friends I do tell them, but sometimes they just look "right" for someone. Ive gotten some requests as well, but as a guy cosplaying girls, I've generally just ignored them. My friends sometimes say stuff like that, but thats on a different tone then some random saying stuff like that. It's just wrong to force your preferences on someone, and even if its a good fit, if they say no just accept it 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you nail it, and they agree, good for you! But that is rare and it should be special. Also, if they agree but they end up not doing it, and they explain why, accept it. The investment is hard enough on themselves.

I also have a story to share because...well they had some AUDACITY. I got a comment once on a photo of my Rosalina cosplay. All covered, even my arms, most of my hands and most of my face. This comment had links to their "cosplay suggestions" and keep in mind, my brand is similar. I don't do sexy. Every. single. link. was to a super overly sexualized character with hardly any clothes on. The kicker? This person didn't even follow me AND was upset that I said no. Like....excuse?

Some people really need to learn about boundaries. And a lot of self-awareness

I still have a slight fear of cosplaying a certain character from my first anime I ever watched I related to her so much growing up and the struggles and successes she went through as a character hit very close to me but I’m afraid of getting judged about it because I know that there are people that have a very strong opinion of this character I know I shouldn’t care about what other people think but its hard and I’ve put off the cosplay for a long time. I agree It’s so rude and disrespectful to give requests to cosplayers when they have put in time, money and effort to make something special I’m in the process of making a dress for Arwen from Lord Of The Rings and so far I’ve put in at least $200 into it and I still have more fabric and things to buy lol but it will be worth it. And i’m the same way I’m not comfortable cosplaying characters that wear sexy or revealing clothes its not something I see myself doing. While this hasn’t happened to me personally *knock on wood* I was trying to find a Hades(doing a female version of him) cosplay cause my friends and I are doing a Disney villain group I’m super excited cause Hercules is one of my all time favorite Disney movies most of the stuff I found I wasn’t comfortable wearing and I ended up just getting his normal outfit. Also you look great! I always love your makeup and outfits!.

Ive had this happen to me not only with cosplays but with props as well. I once had this guy dm me on Insta demanding that I make a Kocho Shinobu sword (who I almost never cosplay) and I was like “no? Materials are expensive” I feel like some people (especially non cosplayers) don’t realise how much money goes into crafting cosplays and props, that along with time and effort. I live in Australia too and cosplay craft materials aren’t always easy to get (unless you wanna pay 100s of dollars)

When I first started cosplaying I had a friend who wanted me to cosplay all his ‘waifus’ for him, who were all girls from isekais that are typically pretty sexualised. I don’t talk to him anymore.

I need to hear this before I go to a cosplay meet up

Omg as a cosplayer I love this video, Even though I'm a new/smaller less skilled cosplayer people have done this to me when they find out I cosplay

If it's a request, I always try to politely explain that I only cosplay characters that I like or shows I have watched. But you're so right. They KEEP GOING EXPLAINING WHY I SHOULD... I'm flattered people want me to cosplay characters THEY love, but it's pretty irksome. And for some reason it's always pretty sexual cosplays which most of my followers know dang well I don't do 😭 Thank you for the rant!

While I didn't know that this was something people actually did, I can unfortunately say I'm not surprised. So sorry you had to deal with such frustrating, entitled people!

I love to cosplay, and whenever there's a con or event near me, I'll try make or buy a cosplay of a character I love. A character I hold close, my fav character, a character from my fav anime, yk somet I like. And I love it when ppl give me cosplay ideas or suggest that I cosplay a certain cosplay bc it makes me feel so happy! I'm so glad you made this video, and I hope at least one person will take something away from this video. I love it sm when ppl like my cosplays and my work, but it disgusts me that ppl will demand you cosplay someone for their personal enjoyment, and not even considering the cosplayer in question. Keep up the good work

Been asked to cosplay specific characters by my own mother before. Even when I tell her no. So it's not just creeps at cons either, it's also just inconsiderate people in general.

As a cosplayer of a darker skinned persuasion, I've gotten hit with this a few times. It's definitely a, "Really? Are you serious...?" Moment. One time it'd been after I had participated in the masquerade at a con. It legit kind of sucked.

This is very new to me, and that cosplay request sounds gross. And i hope that no one would ever ask me to cosplay some character what wears revealing outift i will say ”no” and it means no.

My reply to all cosplay requests is “are you willing to pay for it?” If yes, I’ll consider, but most of the time they say no

I love cosplay suggestions as it helps me with new ideas I used to ask for requests on my KZfaq channel but I don't anymore as though I got few it bugged me I do cosplay villains but I'm the same as you I don't feel comfortable in sexy cosplay

They always ask for suggestions

I am half guilty of the first thing as in: My friends don't know who to cosplay so I suggest "hey i know you like this anime so why don't you cosplay XYZ?" but then again i think thats different

Thanks so much for making this video, Anya! I love how you made the distinction between cosplay suggestion and request/demand. And I think the message in this video is so important! We need to be respecting cosplayers as people. And thanks for making videos for us when you don't feel 100%! I always love watching them!

I’ve been in the cosplay community for a while now, I am sorry this stuff has happened to you…I’m scared of that happening to me (especially since I’m a minor). Even if it does, I know what to do in those situations, if they start ranting to me about how I should do someone, I will make an excuse to leave. Thank you for your rants, they should get more credit than ppl give them sometimes. Also what’s your next cosplay? I’m very intrigued on who you’re gonna be cosplaying next! I’m currently working on my Alastor for QCAC. 💙

I really really wanna get into cosplay and cons but I'm scared of all this happening

I'm sorry that this happens to you and other cosplayers. It's so disrespectful. I've cosplayed a few times but luckily, this has never happened to me. Thanks for talking about this, Anya.

Now I wanna know what your next cosplay is 👀

We stan a queen that hydrates and caffinates

I like to get into character, so what I find annoying is when I'm playing a villain and murdering people in the streets, and people call the cops and try to get me arrested. Like bruh, mind your own business. Seriously though, it sucks cosplayers have to deal with this. Some people need to separate fiction from reality and understand that cosplayers are real people and should be respected as such.

Do not call a cosplayer the "race" version of a character.

I'm in the same boat with you with the overly revealing cosplays. People should just realize, even outside of cosplay, that no means no. I shouldn't have to explain or defend myself, just respect my answer.

Most cosplay requests in my personal experience tend to go all in one direction and it's very uncomfortable. It's one thing if you choose it yourself but...

See, there are cosplayers that propagate this problem as well, I used to enjoy the cosplayer Jessica Nigri she was absolutely gorgeous and she still is, however her "cosplays" no longer fall under the category of cosplays and she's now literally just dressing in skimpy, what is supposed to look like "cosplay characters". Now people demand that she dresses up in the skimpy outfits and she complies because she knows it makes money on her only fans as well. So there are cosplayers or "cosplayers" that seriously propagate this problem EDIT: for the record you're not being asked to do certain cosplays, you're being asked for fan service. Which is completely and utterly different than cosplay, those who say they don't understand are literally just looking to see your body revealed so they don't have to imagine it. Mostly it's men who think women cosplay for fan service when really women just want to fking cosplay to cosplay. I've been to conventions where even if they did do a fan service for somebody, or a group of somebody's, people always nag them because they didn't reveal enough skin or body parts. No, that is not what cosplay is about. You can be an awesome character that doesn't have to be revealing.

Imagine having the audacity to tell a cosplayer what they should like and what they should be comfortable with! I can't imagine someone DEMANDING I make something, especially something I am not passionate about. People need to chill out. Had no idea this was even an issue for cosplayers :(

I am so sorry that you have been disrespected by someone requesting that you cosplay a particular character... obviously those people don't understand the whole point of cosplays, which is to pay homage to YOUR favorite show and/or character!!! If they are so passionate about a certain character being played, why don't they do it themselves? My own take on cosplaying an antagonist... because that's so opposite of my personality it's fun to pretend to be a villain once in a while... stretch my acting abilities!!! I'm NOT saying you should... you do whatever makes you happy!!! I see it more as paying tribute to a great actress who has brought to life a memorable character!!! 💚

You can say it. It is a disregard for the cosplayer's autonomy and consent. It's objectification, fetishization, and absolutely disgusting behavior, and cosplayers you should feel more than entitled to respond with "because I said no." Those folks don't deserve a reasoning beyond that tbh.

It's like when guys ask if you have an onlyfans. And you say No! but they keep hitting are you sure you don't. I even had one guy say, I can help you set one up, I can take the photos and help you. NO gross NO go away, dude! NOT ALL people want that kind of attention.

This video is so good at explaining everything, I personally find it hella annoying when people request me to do certain characters (or tell me that I can do others because weight/height/size) but I've never seen it be more prevalent than with my black and poc friends, the shier ammoun of times they get asked to do characters like garnet, tiana, aisha and such is ridiculous! And oh lord forgive them if they do a non poc/black character because "x character isn't black" meanwhile I never get told "x character isn't white" when I'm cosplaying asian characters, nor does ANY other white cosplayer who does anime get the same reaction

"Get the 'enjoyment' out of it." That was really politely said. XD Yeah, there are many p*rves lurking. Honestly, people like that act like they don't know how much time, money and effort it takes to make a cosplay. I remember this one guy following me around at a Con telling me that I have the body type for Margaery Tyrell and he kept insisting(harassing me) that I promise this complete stranger that I will cosplay as this character and he kept asking me(harassing me) to tell him which Cons I would be at this year. He kept showing me these picture of other cosplayers that did sexy versions of of Margaery Tyrell's outfits and pin up pictures and how I should do that. 🤮🤮🤮 I think he got a lot of "enjoyment" out of my obvious discomfort.

If someone "requests" a particular cosplay why don't they cosplay that character themself? Isn't that the main point of cosplay? To show your own enthusiasm for a particular show or character? You cosplay who you like and I'll cosplay who I like and we can just enjoy and RESPECT each other's efforts!!!

Cosplay suggestions are littaraly the BEST people have told me that I should Cosplay historia (aot) before and now I'm going as historia at a con!! Now if somone went "cosplay historia. Why are you cosplaying a man? Your a feminine girl cosplay a girl" I would NEVER cosplay historia out of spite

You look super cute, don't worry about it. I got a request recently that I did actually accept. But I picked the version of the character and they are covering material costs. I often ask for suggestions, just out of curiosity to see who people want to see me as, but I've never taken one of those seriously. Mostly because they are from shows I've never seen, and I'd like to know a character before cosplaying them

Random requests for pix of a cosplayer hardly wearing any clothing is much too common and it makes me livid. The response to “no” is usually along the lines of “but other cosplayers do it.” I think no cosplayer regularly on socials is alone in having interactions similar to this at least 1x in their cosplay adventures, sadly.

On the topic of suggestions, have you though about any of the Owl house characters to cosplay. I have had so much fun with Amity and I think you would fit Willow or Luz very well

In regards to cosplay request, while i personally wont do request if the character doesn’t vibe with me, i do follow a cosplayer where she does requests but only if the person asking is willing to pay for the costume or for the materials.. lol i always thought that made so much sense in a business stand point

I really miss how cosplay and cons were back in the 2000's back then we were just geeks having fun not it's main stream and the majority don't even enjoy cosplay they do it for the popularity and goof on new cosplayers. Basically the jocks and preps got into our hobby and fucked it up

I once got told "nice ATTEMPT at Sumia (Fire Emblem)". Ruined my whole day, and honestly, I'm still sour about it.

I love your channel. I’ve recently started cosplay and you are the most helpful KZfaqr (to my opinion) and you are very good at cosplay! 💖

I don't mind your rant videos... In fact, the world needs more of these videos because some people need to know that they're being rude and creepy and basically objectifying cosplayers. The only people who don't like these videos are those creeps. I just hope that you don't get too upset because of them. Great video!

It took me wayyyyy too long to realize what you meant by "special feelings". I was confused how it was fetishizing because my silly little brain was like "wait, if I think this cosplayer is cool, and the character is cool and wish to see how that person would cosplay that character it's fetishization? What?" I'm very slow lol. But yeah that is super weird and gross.

I rarely cosplay because im a late 30s dad and just dont have time to. Not only have i never experienced this sort of creepy, but i didnt even know this was a thing. Its gross, its disrespectful, and hopefully your video will make some difference in this kinda thing happening.

Somone told me that my makeup was really bad and that i shouldnt be doing The makeup on my own

Ik this is VERY off topic but I cannot find a good foundation if my life depended on it, what is the foundation that you use for all of ur cosplays?

i admit i have asked a few fellow cosplayers if they would do a character thats not in their plan and if they say yes, i wanna collect money to support them to get it done while i prepare my own different character from that same place... cause i really want to do a group project XD

Cosplay does NOT equal consent in any way or form. it does not make creepy/inappropriate questions ok.
