No matter your age.
No matter your weight.
No matter your race.
No matter your gender.
No matter your skills.
Cosplay is about everyone coming together & having fun.
This a 1000 times over
All so very true, otherwise we wouldn’t have cosplayers or any community that’s worth being a member of. Cosplay is about expressing your love for a show/character/Story. Some may be better done but it doesn’t mean the others are nothing, they all mean something.
((There is a huge double standard when it comes to this. I was once told I was “too white” to cosplay a character. It was my first cosplay and it ruined the entire experience for me. The character was Jade Harley from Homestuck, and here’s the thing…
SHE HAS NO CANON RACE! Her skin isn’t colored like all of the other humans in the comic, which leaves their skin pure #ffffff))
I literally just had this conversation on FB with a new black.

To people that think being “racist against whites” is a thing….
I completely disagree with this. You can’t tell me black people can’t be racist when we’re actually extremely racist. By saying that black people can’t be racist, it’s implied that under no circumstances, anything that I do isn’t racist. If I was to call a middle eastern man a terrorist and pull off his turban, if he’s wearing one, claiming that there’s a bomb under it simply because he’s middle eastern, I’m not racist because I’m black. If I ask an Asian acquaintance of mine to help me on some math because he’s Asian (remember guys, Asians are great at math), I’m not racist cuz I’m black. If I hide all my valuable shit because some Hispanics came around(Hispanics are stereotypically thieves) or even ride up on a group of Hispanics and ask them how much it would be to fix my roof, I’m not racist cuz I’m black. Nigga please, black people are racist as fuck.
I actually agree with the comment just above mine. Black people can be racist. Any race can be racist to other races, even their own. I’ve heart light skin black people insult black people that are darker than them, and even heard a black guy calling an Indian boy a Paki, which is an extremely racist term. A lot of black people are racist towards the white race also. Racism is back and forth. Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race. Any race can have that. Black people get a lot of stick just living in this world… I get that… I’ve been through it. but just look how many people back away from muslims/ someone who wears a turban and gets pulled over at the airport after 9/11.
Dear POC…
((Nope, any human can be racist, period.
Also, yeah I’m whiter than a milk bottle in a snowstorm, but let me tell you something, I was called “cracker” at such a young age, I thought they were talking about the crackers we would eat at snack time! My substitute history teacher made all of the white kids apologize to all the other kids for our race, as if we had ever whipped anyone in our twelve years of life! I grew up contemplating suicide because I was told my skin, my ancestry, the things I can’t even change made me permanently evil!
No child should have to endure that level of self hatred and self shame, no matter their race! Now, with toxic ideas like white privilege, more white children are suffering as I have than ever before. I had a kid aged 5 come to me crying and saying they didn’t want to be white anymore. Why should any child have to feel that?! Why?! How is that justified?! It isn’t!
I deserve to live just as much as all of you, even if I’m white. I shouldn’t have to apologise for a crime I never even committed. You can cry racism all you want, but you’re the one berating and labelling me based on my race at the end of it all!
Also, saying POC can’t be racist is racist. It’s saying they aren’t capable of doing something wrong, it is denying they have a quality of humanity that makes them equal to you and me! Let POC take responsibility for their own actions like anyone else, don’t excuse their actions based on their race or the history of their race. In the end they have choice and free will. Don’t treat them like helpless victims of the world, and justify their every move. It’s the worst kind of bigotry one can display in my opinion.))
But you know exactly how much work you put into your art, how many hours and how much care and love went into your pictures and no matter the amount of likes or retweets you get, you KNOW the worth of your work.
I’ve had this feeling bothering me a lot lately and I know I’m not alone out there, so here’s some positivity for all of you from my main artblog!
