I very genuinely don’t understand how the cosplay community is racist toward ACTUAL black people but praise weirdos trying to replicate OUR natural skin colour and beauty.
I never quite realized ... how beautiful this world is.✨
It is honor to do this amazing version of 2B cosplay again!🖤💛

Casual reminder that unless you’re cosplaying professionally, as in for income, its fine to take your time and make content you actually like. As of recent I’ve noticed this “trend” where creators rush to film and debut work relating to media’s latest popular series or franchise.
It’s “cosplay is for everyone” until the cosplayer isn’t a conventionally attractive white person.
It’s “cosplay is for everyone” until the cosplayer is black, fat/plus size or disabled. I’m sick of this community.
Y’all don’t give a fuck about us and you prove it every day. 😀

That’s exactly what it is, and I’m not about to argue with anyone over anything. They can go play with themselves, they won’t be playing with me.
A guy at the train station harassed me for my number some months back so I lied and told him my name was Von Hohenheim. He texts me occasionally but I never really reply. Felt like he wouldn’t take no for an answer so I decided to troll. It’s been 10min and he hasn’t replied.💀
I’m going to need for people to educate themselves on how to properly compliment creators, more specifically black & PoC. Stop adding identifiers to our work. I’m not black Link, I’m just Link. If you wouldn’t mention a white cosplayer’s race don’t mention ours. It’s unnecessary.
Please leave visibly trans and queer people alone.
The way I was just sexually assaulted in broad daylight because a woman felt entitled enough to grab my genitals makes me want to vomit. My refusal to answer “what’s your gender?” doesn’t permit you to assault me.
I feel sick
I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again: fast fashion in the cosplay community shouldn’t be normalised. There’s a small percentage of cosplayers who can sustain themselves without working 1-3 jobs & it’s classist to question the validity of a creator’s hobby if they can’t “adapt.”
@CheyennejazWise
Both my accounts are one violation away from termination because I would constantly call out racism and bigotry on the platform, meanwhile people can call me and other black/PoC racial slurs without consequence. Believe me when I say TikTok doesn’t care, and that’s why I hate it.
There’s always drama in the cosplay community because problematic creators are never held accountable through deplatforming. The predators that are exposed haven’t had legal action taken against them and there’s ALWAYS someone willing to defend blatantly atrocious behaviour.
Hey

I’m sorry it’s not much but
@SailorBxy
commissioned me to draw you a birthday present.
I meant to start on it yesterday but was held up, sorry. Happy belated birthday though! ✨
I need for someone to tell me again how “racism doesn’t exist” or that it isn’t a prevalent issue in the anime/cosplay community.
Non-black people will say and do the most vile shit to us and then wonder why we’re constantly creating spaces for ourselves and ourselves alone.

Not gonna stop until I’ve cosplayed every variation

For my plus sized cosplayers、I intend to make a video discussing the issue of body shaming in the cosplay community but I need feedback on major points to mention。If you’re comfortable sharing、what are some of your experiences or insecurities of being a plus sized cosplayer?
It’s completely okay if you’re unable to “board the bandwagon” right away. Some people are able to debut cosplays weekly, others not so much. As someone who’s somewhat stepping away from the scene, I’ve seen an influx of newer/smaller creators express distraught regarding this.
Are you a black cosplayer or content creator? Tired of those generic dating simulators that rarely offer flavour? Well I’ve got great news! There’s a project in the works by the name of “Wonderlust” and it’s a dating simulator that features black cosplayers and content creators!

Don’t even waste time explaining, most times they’re not listening to understand but to be argumentative and I’m not about to have any non-black person in my mentions arguing about what is or isn’t racist to OUR community.
One year ago today, I almost fought a guy at the train station cosplayed as Link because he verbally berated a drunk woman; telling her she deserved to be abused and that she’s “sloppy.” I don’t know what it is about this cosplay that makes people try me but I regret nothing.
I literally can’t stop smiling right now. A great friend of mine made a comic strip of our OC OTP and let me tell you, this shit just gave me diabetes.

We’ve explained this way too many times in the repeated conversations we’ve had. People like you don’t ask to listen with intent to understand, you ask with intent to respond and be argumentative. Maybe go pick up a book and educate yourself.
Why are so many of you comfortable disrespecting black women? It’s a joke when they’re the ass of it but if they respond all of sudden they’re either sensitive or there’s an issue? The way Will Smith is being demonised for protecting his wife, a BLACK WOMAN, says a lot to me.
I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. If you're drinking please drink responsibly; don't drink and drive. If you aren't fond of today for whatever reason, I hope the day is great to you. Happy holidays everybody. Stay safe, have fun, and I'll see you in 2019. 🎉🎉🎉
Moving forward, anyone and everyone who misgenders me will be blocked without word. I’m tired of correcting people who’ve very clearly seen my pronouns or heard me state I’m not a woman. Feminine presenting ≠ “womanhood.” Non-binary and genderqueer people don’t owe you androgyny
I am literally crying tears right now! 😭❤️ My good friend Mika drew our OC-OTP, Alex and Cherry, and it’s so beautiful. 🙏💕 best Christmas present ever! 😁✨
