pixelghosts:I don’t know what’s going on but I’ve been getting a good amount of negative “criticism” about my cosplays lately. None of it has to do with my makeup, my costume or anything like that. Instead, it’s me being black that’s the problem. Almost every character I’ve done has made someone question why I’ve cosplayed them if they weren’t as dark as I am. People have called me horrible things, told me to stop cosplaying or to choose different characters. This sort of thing really brought me down because I already know I’m not “the best” cosplayer but for people to literally tell me I can’t cosplay something for a reason I can’t change? That’s ridiculous and honestly I don’t care anymore. Cosplaying is a hobby to me, I’ve made so many friends from it and I have so many great memories. I’m not gonna stop because some ignorant people fill my inbox with garbage. I’m gonna keep doing it for as long as I want and tbh I give zero fricks about anything negative people have to say about that. Everyone should cosplay who they want to. It doesn’t matter if you’re a different race, a different size, etc. Cosplay whoever makes you happy because I certainly will ♡ -- source link
