How do you feel about cosplayers taking on characters of a blatantly different race?
>>10920787its okay, honestly the only thing that upsets me is some fatty cosplaying a normal weight character
>>10920787I literally could not care less as long as they do it accurately (looking at you, black people that don't wear wigs for characters who have straight hair)
>>10920787It fine as long as they do it accurately and respectfully without trying to alter their racial appearance.
As long as they like the character and do them justice.>>10920825This
>>10920825I have to disagree. Given the conundrum black cosplayers find themselves in (9/10 not having the features of the characters they want to cosplay) they might as well fully lead in o their own natural features. If you're going to cosplay Sailor Moon and the Usagi yellow wig is going to look awful on you, why not just do up your natural hair in a cute way? Looking good/feeling confident is far more important that just attempting a point for point accurate translation.
>>10920787Where would you find an elf willing to cosplay? Currently we only have humans (and sometimes cats and dogs) cosplaying.
>>10920933They can cosplay masked characters.
White people, at their best, cosplay most anime characters better. There isn't one Asian Erwin cosplay from AOT that looks good. Meanwhile Asian Levis look better (because he's canonically Asian). OP is a great example of this. We don't have to seethe over it, it's fine, but the best Marcille cosplays will be from White people.
>>10920936we will genetically engineer elves into existence alongside catgirls
>>10920972Is a world without elves worse than a world with elves who will never date you?
>>10920787Well i think she looks cute enough to pass for a fantasy elf, they aren't real anyway, real elves would be tiny and have funny hats.
>>10920977yeseven dateless real elves would be good coom material to both genders
>>10920787Everybody should be free to cosplay whoever they want, the whole point is to show off your passion for a given character than the cosplay being 100% accurate. I'd rather have black Goku than a costhot whose cosplay is perfect down to the natural features being consistent but it's some FOTM waifu she doesn't know or care about (like what happened a lot with Makima cosplays a year or two ago).Having said that, I wish Asian cosplayers like the one in the OP would stop using eyelash glue, or at least use it correctly like K-Pop idols to enhance their look instead of trying to look white and instead looking uncanny.
dont care
>>10921250Cry about it
>>10920787as long as they're of a good race
>>10920787Seeing as how Elves don't exist, I think its perfectly fine.And if Elves did exist, I would still think its fine.
>>10920800What if a skinny person cosplays a fat character?
>>10920933I have to agree with this.If you're a black cosplayer, I'd rather see hair that fits the characters ideal and looks good rather than the characters on-model design/colour but looks pants.>>10921274>>10921243>>10920936Marcille is Italian-Coded.
>>10920787What, like that black samurai from the new Assassin's Creed?
>>10921415I will eviscerate myself before touching Ass Ass In Shit, but I know for a fact that there actually was a famous black samurai, and the japs themselves love putting him in their games.
>>10921416He was a retainer not a samurai, and his reception is mixed. My joke is that he is cosplaying as a samurai. Some japs defend him because if he isn't a samurai then neither are their ancestors of the same rank. Others are pissed off that they're being charged to see a foreigner killing japanese people and being glorified for it. Then some people made AI generated photos of him and passed them off as historical proof. I've never noticed him in any japanese media. I won't be playing the game either way. I'm not into AssCreed.
>>10921427>I've never noticed him in any japanese media.seriously.
>>10920787Blacks cosplaying white characters is the funniest shit in the world. Even more so if they try to match the hair as best they can with whatever whack-ass hair they've gotIt reminds me of those tumblr blackwashed redraws
>>10920933You should also consider the fact that it helps them not look like they’re trying to become another race entirely or are doing it for some kind of kink. There are a lot of black girls in jfashion that look as white as possible without changing their skin color, some of them even brighten up the photo to make the illusion their white or mixed. I find it uncanny and sort of depressing that they want to look as asian/white as humanly possible, it’s very intentional. I addressed this one time outside of /cgl/ and someone replied to me that they weren’t trying to become another race and was just apart of their “alter ego”, which gives me raceplay/fetish vibes. Personally I don’t care what black people cosplay as, as long as they aren’t trying to purposefully look white or are doing it for kink reasons.
>>10920787ambivalent. if we're expected to respect the work on the costume, then judging based on an unchangeable characteristic doesn't seem to follow the spirit of respecting the costume work. You're not fucking casting the character in a production. Knock yourself out.that said, you also don't get to claim that as a whole package that they look closer to a given character all other things being equal. Thats just disingenuous.
>>10920787>I've never noticed him in any japanese media>Kessen series>Nobunaga's Ambition>both decades old Japanese video game seriesJust say you are a zoomer; Period drama has been out of vogue for 20 years, just long enough for you to not have seen anything in your short life.
>>10920787I'm more bothered by the fact that they shooped her face into oblivion and made it look nothing like Marcille.
>>10920787If it works, it works.
>>10920787feet
>>10926248Elfeet, even.
>>10920942>Levi is asianHe's not. At best he'd be a French jew.
>>10926433He's canonically Asian and drawn as Asian. It's a literal plot point. Watch the show.
>>10926526That's Mikasa, you retard. She's expressely the only asian in the island and no indication that Levi is too is mentioned. Levi having black hair and being a manlet due to malnutrition don't make him asian.

>>10920787I could not care less because I have actual problems
>>10927159Holy hey, 500 upvotes for this?? Thanks, gang!Edit: WHOA now 600, this is honestly incredible
>>10927057Nice dead link to your headcanon. Next time take it to Tumblr or Tiktok.
>>10920787Elves are a thing?
>>10920938Like, Black Panther?
>>10921292Fat-suit>>10921413>Marcille is Italian-Coded.How?
blacks look ugly in cosplay because they turn straight hair characters into greasy dreads and shit like thatjust wear a wig that’s accurate asians look terrible as white characters because they can only do one makeup look and abuse photoshop instead of learning sfx makeup and how to make their features look more europeanwhites look terrible as asian characters because they can’t into neotenous makeup and good lightingfix those problems and cross race cosplay is a non issue
>>10927227>Dead linkAre you retarded?>HeadcanonThat's literally what you posted lol, no source listed. They are both Ackermans, an Asian family. Go Ack yourself lmao
