Ooh, I really like this interpretation with actual padding and armor and stuff! (the original was mostly just form-fitting techno-fiber or something that looked basically like a dark grey full-body unitard)

You've gotta take liberties with stuff like that, because I don't think it's actually possible to make something that fits that close on a person in real life. That batsuit was basically a second skin, to be honest.

Nope. If a white person does it is racist. If a PoC does it, they are taking it back.

PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


Here is a quick amateur cosplay primer:

Dress as literally any character you want.
Don't be a dick to people.
Don't to black/yellow/white face or any variations.

That's it.

We're not talking about multi-million dollar acting roles that always go to white people.
If you want to start policing how people enjoy their hobbies then maybe you have more in common with the undead ninja Nazi than the rest of us.

It's a good way to figure out which of your friends are cryptofascists.

Or was, before it became acceptable to put the "crypto-" part to bed.

Not taking nazis seriously is how we got the Charlottesville rally. gently caress nazis in every form, short of historical reasons they should never be displayed or portrayed, especially not in any sort of positive or glorifying light.

Am I, a white person of Italian background, allowed to cosplay as Saul from Coming To America?

He's a stereotypical Jewish person, played by Eddie Murphy in whiteface, and he refers to an African character as Kunta Kinte.

Yeah buddy

smh if you stop trying to help a friend you're watching backslide into white nationalism because you're afraid of being seen associated with them. It does mean talking about poo poo like Harry Potter can get into some weird places when someone decides to try to use the differences between muggles and wizards as somehow being in support of the idea that some races are better than others. And then an hour into the convo I realize it swerved into me having to point out that sub-saharan Africa did, in fact, have civilizations and empires before colonialism, and then having to dig up proof of my apparently outlandish claim. Then I wonder what the gently caress I'm doing on a Tuesday night having this discussion with them.

When they brought up pizzagate in 2016 like it was some big story of the century I couldn't help but laugh. Like loving really?

What if a skinny person wants to dress up as a character that is well known for being plus-sized? Should they just do a "____ but on a diet" version or wear a fat suit?

Isn't there also a cosplay group on Tokyo who dress up as as specific US highway patrol and we never figured out why?

I will support any type of idiotic gate keeping in a hobby for middle class people if that can potentially lead to fewer people cosplaying as and enjoying anime.

Nope. A PoC cosplaying a white character in a medium that is basically saturated with white characters is fine. A white person cosplaying the rare minority character in a medium that is saturated with white characters is appropriating.

Especially when the white person doing the appropriating does a lovely job with the costume and photoshops the gently caress out of the picture.
