GIMME YO RUPEES, NIGGA

As a black anon myself, I see a lot of my friends not cosplaying because their favorite characters don't look like them. So in turn they are afraid of cosplaying someone a different skin color in fear of being ridiculed. Personally I cosplay who ever I want regardless of skin color, and don't care. But that is what is holding a lot of my friends back.

>>5263131
That's what I've seen, too. The black cosplay scene feels kind of barren =/

Hopefully more people will finally get into it.

"Is that Dark Link? THAT'S RACIST."

>MFW

Black cosplayers usually suck.

Not only do they not fit the characters, but they can't make costumes to save their lives.

>>5263142
I beg to differ.

>super mario bruthas

candycoatedcuties.tumblr.com tumblr of black cosplay girls. some are a bit herp derp most are really good

>>5263157
sorry its not all cosplay but thats most of the blog

I hate this crap about "cosplay your skin color." Cus it's all BS, really. Pale-as-shit people can cosplay tanned people, but black people can't cosplay who they want? Really? Plus, make-up can do wonders if you want to put in that effort.

My boyfriend is half black, so he's dark and we cosplay whatever the hell we want together.

Deal with it.

>>5263142
Please do a study in multiple cons noting the number of cosplayers from various races, with percentage of good and bad ones.

>>5263142

I don't really agree with this generalization so hopefully some good black cosplayers will change your mind.

>>5263142
Please, shut up.

>Not only do they not fit the characters

NO ONE fits an anime character perfectly. When was the last person you saw a white or asian person with fuckhuge eyes and a 10'' waist?

>>5263169
*time

Sorry, this topic makes me too grumpy to type properly.

Anyone can be a good cosplayer regardless of weight/heigh/skin colour/appearance. It all depends on choosing the correct character, how much effort you put in making the costume look good, making yourself look good, having a good time and not being a whiny bitch.

>>5263164
Honestly I don't like seeing pale-as-shit people cosplaying tanned characters too.

In b4 a fat racist redneck posts something they'd be too scared to ever say in real life.

oh, too late.

>>5263164
Issues arise when they aren't taking the steps all the non-black cosplayers take for no particular reason. Not wearing a properly style wig or making the costume out of proper fabrics or just generally not putting in enough effort.

Not saying that all black people do these things and all white people don't, but, let's face it, it fucking sticks out when the black guy with dreads dresses up as link moreso than a white person who just has their normal hair.

>>5263169
There's a difference between no looking exactly like an anime character and looking completely different to anything resembling the character. A black person in cosplay usually looks only a step or two above putting a pet in a costume.

>>5263180

I do, on an almost daily basis. Lots of anime characters are also assumed to be Japanese or Asian, so by that logic, the majority of characters should only be cosplayed by Asians, right?

Yeah. No.

>>5263188
And why would they be scared to say it in real life?

Oh, that's right. Because black people are violent by nature. At least you admit it.

>>5263192
Old argument is old. Most anime characters, Japanese or not, have features most closely associated with caucasians. It's not about the character's technical ethnicity, it's how they LOOK.

Sure, no human being looks EXACTLY like an anime character, but blacks aren't even in the ball park. They look ridiculous in cosplay.

I don't understand how race dictates that you'll make a shitty cosplay. I think that's just the character of the person not their skin color.

Also i see lots of talk about black cosplayers but can't we have the same discussion about indian or mexican cosplayers because they can be pretty tanned too or have different features.

>this thread

>>5263206

No, the real problem is Caucasians have themselves on a fucking pedestal. And I'm saying this as a white person disgusted with my own race. I know black cosplayers who put ten times the effort in their cosplays as some white cosplayers, and they look a billion times better.

>>5263213
That's really good

>>5263189
>Not saying that all black people do these things and all white people don't, but, let's face it, it fucking sticks out when the black guy with dreads dresses up as link moreso than a white person who just has their normal hair.

Sometimes, but in the case of OP, he'd look TERRIBLE in a blonde wig. A black/brown wig would probably look better than his real hair, but I'd rather see his hair than see him try to stuff that into a wig. Shit would get ridiculous.

I really like it when black cosplayers adapt the costumes to fit them, rather than trying to look just like the character. Some wig colors look terrible with black skin, and toning them down or using dark colors looks better than going for accuracy.

>>5263206

I disagree but can't think of a reason why that won't get me ridiculed as soft.

Obviously black people won't look really accurate while cosplaying some superpale anime character, but they can look damn good.

>>5263215
>I know black cosplayers who put ten times the effort in their cosplays as some white cosplayers, and they look a billion times better.

lol no you don't.

The only black cosplayer in history that doesn't look completely stupid in cosplay is HunnyBunny, and that's only because she's half white and usually covers her skin in body paint.

>>5263224
Signed. As long as it's made to fit the cosplayer you can find some really amazing ethnic costumers.

How many time do we have to go through this

Asian>whites>blacks/Hispanics

Asian are best at cosplay, so whites feel inferior to them but superior to blacks and Hispanics when they cosplay becuase they have the "oh I'm white so I look more like so so than you therefore I am better" mentality. But funny thing is you leave the convention grounds (whether its for food or going back to hotel) suddenly that mentality disappears when cosplayers realize they get made fun of or harassed for being in a costume regardless of race/skin color.

It's common sense folks

Dude, what is wrong with your thinking?? Cosplay can be done by anyone as long as it not fail. Something like fail is very common to you seeing as you fail at life. Cosplay, like people, are in two categories: Epic Win and Epic Fail. Once again, you're an Epic Fail. You were probably outdone by a black cosplayer which is why you're so bitter, amirite?

>>5263239
Actually I think Caucasians are generally the best at cosplay. It's just that Caucasians can sometimes seem worse due to the overwhelming amount of bad cosplayers that drown out the good ones, and Asian cosplayers put a lot more time into photography and photoshop to make themselves look unnaturally beautiful. Which is ultimately what impresses the layman the most.

>>5263246
How you look is a big part of cosplay. The motto of "anyone can do it" is a big reason why people fail. Blacks dont look like 99% of anime/video game characters.

I think it's a feature thing more than a race thing...small nose, thinner lips, big eyes all add to the "look."

Anyways (as an Asian) I don't think that Asians are the best cosplayers. Actually, I think that a lot of the really popular Asian cosplayers look pretty generic ulzzang, which works for some characters but not for others.

You know as much as black cosplayer get ripped apart on here, I've met some prety cool ones and you can tell they enjoy cosplay for what it is and not for a fanbase like most white cosplayers do. But it's sad that even when a black cosplayers costume is near perfect (he'll not even perfect) just good they still get shit just for being black (of course it's only said on the Internet and not in person)

>>5263254

And neither do 99% of cosplayers, good and bad ones.

>>5263177

Wow, that's a lovely Shinobu! And I love the setting.

>>5263261
Back to that dumb excuse again? See >>5263206

>>5263239
Actually, it's whoever is attractive AND has good photoshop, regardless of race.

>>5263260
Because they look retarded in it. Duh. It's the same thing if a nasty obese woman tried to cosplay mai shiranui. Regardless of how you make the costume, you just look dumb and are making a fool out of yourself.

If you are black, try choosing a character that is actually black as well, like Barret, Bob Makihara, Kiros, etc. Do you ever see white or asian people cosplaying as Barret? Of course not, because they know it would look fucking retarded. Discretion is the better part of valor.

ITT: excuses to be racist without the world knowing it.

>>5263278
ITT: bleeding-heart faggots crying racism because they don't want to face reality.

>>5263287

The reality that racism still exists just as strongly as ever? You're right. I don't want to face that. I don't want to accept the world is still that disgusting.

>>5263214

Remember when cosplay was about meeting others in your fandom, because they'd go, "oh,you're dressed up as so and so from blah blah blah" and you'd squeal and say "Yeah! I love him/her!" start a convo, and become best friends?

I do. Back in my day (oldfag), cosplay was never about all this modeling stuff,uber photography,etc. It was just a geeky thing to do around cons for fun. But I guess cosplayers aren't content nowadays unless they look EXACTLY like the character, and can be fap fodder for nerds. Feels bad :(

The nay sayers regarding black cosplayers are prolly some fat weeaboo wailord fail cosplayers. I don't know where you have been but I have seen some black cosplayers nail some really awesome cosplay. If you look at a lot of anime out there it's not all about "thin features" and not all black people have "BIG LIPS". You just sound like a dumbass if you think that. I bet half you mofos woudn't have the balls to say half this junk to a black cosplayers face. Also I think a black guy who cosplays vegeta who is ripped like a mofo with a quality costume beats out the white vegeta with a gut and a five-o-clock shadow.

>>5263287
>implying an anonymous forum is reality

I do feel for black cosplayers because they cant even be nerds/ weebs like everyone one else without facing some type of racial shit. And their character selection is very limited and pretty sucky (filled wit minor characters that people could care less about), but I think black cosplayers could pull off characters better if they really worked on cosplays, made sure everything was perfect and honestly change the color of their wig to make it suit them better.

Pic related I would love to see a black chick cosplay yoko like this rather than with a red wig (granted she had the body to do it of course)

>>5263294
Those days are long gone. Anime fandom isn't an underground, special thing anymore. People just cosplay for attention and to feel like a convention superstar.

>>5263260
Holy shit this. At least you know black cosplayers really love who they're cosplaying, and just enjoy portraying that character and paying homage to them. We need a convention full of black cosplayers, so maybe we'll get some actual conversation about anime.

>>5263297
This pretty much.

/cgl/ naysayers tend to be insecure ugly fatties who need an excuse to call someone else's superior cosplay shit.

Of course, they'd never post their picture or identity to prove otherwise.

>>5263302
The reverse is true too. If I tried to join a gang, smoke crack and roll dice in the alley, I'd probably get called a "cracka" and beaten up.


Prejudice hurts. :(

>>5263302
The character would be a bit unrecognizable like that however; it's weird to see mods of characters unless it's for a reason.

Just be accurate and only fucktards will have issue with it. Otherwise everyone will have to cosplay only their own race and that's boring for everyone.

>>5263322

>Everyone has to cosplay their own race

White folks be fucked, because unless mentioned otherwise, even most anime characters that look white are Japanese/Asian. You know, like Usagi from Sailor Moon? Doesn't matter that she has blonde hair and blue eyes, she is still Nipponese.

>>5263275
here's an asian as barett. he's good

>>5263334
Most anime characters are white. The artists are wrong. They intended to draw asians but ended up drawing white poeple. Their mistake.

>>5263334
Or how about characters who aren't human at all? Like Chi from chobits? She's a computer. So no humans allowed.

I see post about thinner features and what not. Um i have seen white girls with big lips and black girls with no lips whatsofuckingever. Fact is no one looks the same when it comes to small shit like this. Technically 98% of anime character do happen to be JAPANESE, so if you're not japanese then you need to sit your racist ass down and stick to your "own race". Like that shit when you get trolled back. I can instantly tell who the characters are supposed to be whenever I hit a con and see a black cosplayer there. Lord only know what you think of mexican cosplayers. BTW what do you thing of "White Tousens" and "White Yoruichis?" Yoruichi looks no different that Ichigo Kurosaki "featurewise." If you don't like black cosplayers go back to the KKK-Kon

>>5263340
shit forgot pic lol

>>5263260
>of course it's only said on the Internet and not in person
At least there's some justice in the world

>>5263334
Basically. It's been getting better in anime as a whole in regards to diverse ethnicities, but for the most part characters be Asian.

I'm South Asian. There's a very select number of brown skinned characters who wear clothes. And most of them are from ATLA.

I think regardless of your race what matters most isn't actually physical accuracy to start with, but how well you make it work for you. Most of the black cosplayers I know could seriously teach some of my white or even Asian cosplaying friends a lesson in how to pick colors that suit your skintone; nobody's going to notice if that shade of yellow you're wearing is a little bit inaccurate but if it makes you look terrible damn straight they'll notice!

Make your cosplay flatter yourself while maintaining as much accuracy as possible and you'll have the optimal result you can achieve.

>>5263322
I don't think it would be too unrecognizable, yoko does have a distinct outfit (and given the amount of flack this who cosplay her get) I'd say it would be too hard to figure out, and I'm looking for this photo now, but there was a black sailor moon cosplayer who had a black wig rather than a blond one and she looked pretty good with it. So subtle changes like that (at least for me) are good ideas for black cosplayers.

also indian tifa. cause she's cute and its gettin all racial up in hurrr

Regardless of race, good cosplay comes down to looking good in your costume. Some people can do it, some people can't.

You know how we talk about cosplaying in a way that suits your body type? Well, white people can have ugly inappropriate features for their costumes too. We often make fun of those fat, ugly, and pitiful creatures too.

Issue here is that the people we are ridiculing are black and it's apparently racist to say that certain common african american features don't look good in certain costumes.. Instead of just sort of being a common observation... Are we having a reverse racism thread? Because I think we are now..

In either case, >>5263111 and >>5263322 pull off their costumes because they are well made and they happen to have good features and good bodies.

POST ALL ETHNIC COSPLAYERS!!!!!!

>>5263355
Everybody with tan skin should check out Turn A Gundam. Granted there's a lot of brown skinned blondes, but the characters in that series are pretty fucking awesome and have a wide variety of skin tones. There's also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which has not just standard Japanese and and white characters, but also other Asian ethnicities, Arab/Egyptian, mixed race, black, Hispanic, and Native American, as well as one "Fuck if I know I think he's black but I can mainly see that he is not wearing any pants oh god why". There's tan skin options for both genders there, and not all of them are wearing tiny bikinis.

>>5263356
This isn't fall fashion, you stupid fuck. This is cosplay. The idea is to represent a character, not choose your own coords that match your complexion or whatever.

And regardless of what colors you choose it's not going to make black people look any less retarded. There's more to being black than just the color of their skin, it's also their features that look horribly out of place.

>>5263361
Yes.

>>5263360
not exactly what you said but here's a good example :)

>>5263376
Using an anonymous message board to be racist.

How cowardly.

>>5263361
She's fair-skinned as far as Indian people go. I am as well, but because I went swimming for one day this past summer I've tanned.

>>5263368
This is true, but I tend to push accuracy for personal preference. This is cgl so looking pretty tends to be more important, but for me, even if you fat you can still pull of an amazing cosplay so long as the outfit fits and it as accurate as possible. There's cosplay I'd like to attempt but won't mostly because they are things that I can't be fat for. (And my weight is unhealthy making me less then confident in myself but that's another can of worms)

>>5263399
Forgot my picture.

>>5263399
Crying racism because you have no argument.

How predictable.


Please tell us again how black people want to beat people up irl.

>>5263399
Accusing racism anonymous on the internet.

How noble.

I dare any one of you to say that shit to a black cosplayer's face at a con.

Yeah, that's right, you wouldn't dare. Cus you know damn well it's racist and that's why you say it on an anonymous forum.

The best black and white cosplayers, together in one picture.

>>5263376

Is the girl on the left supposed to be mixed? I've seen girls who are 100% white look exactly liker her. Chubby,larger nose, large lips. Those aren't strictly black features you know.

>>5263416
Because they are black, or because /cgl/ is actually polite as fuck in person? Have you been to one of the /cgl/ meet ups? Everyone is chill as fuck.

Greater Internet Fuckward theory, bro.

>>5263416
Yes, we get it. blacks are violent people and will react with ignorance and violence to insults directed at them. Everyone in society realizes this already.

>>5263416
This right here. We're calling you racist because you are racist and we're calling you out because you're using your anonymity to shit up what is otherwise an interesting thread providing a different perspective.

>>5263425

Because /cgl/ are pussies who only insult people behind a monitor. I'm white and I'd still wanna kick anyone's ass saying that bullshit. It's people like that poisoning the world.

>>5263424
she's black with albinism

>>5263437
Now you're just being an internet tough guy. I sincerely doubt your ability to even hold this exact conversation in person.

But seriously though.. /cgl/ is polite as shit in person because you don't spend good money to stay at a hotel, go to a con, and just get in bitchy little high school cat fights with random strangers who look unappealing to you.

>>5263437
Being an internet tough guy isn't going to stop blacks from looking bad in cosplay.

Philosoraptor would like to know if it's racist to insist racism because you are talking about people who happen to be of african american descent.

>>5263449
So basically you are racist but you're too much of a coward to stand up for what you believe in?

>>5263449

I've had this exact conversation and lost friends because I don't choose to associate with people like that. It's disgusting. And deep down, I think you all know it. That's why you're so butthurt about being called racists.

"Polite as shit" =/= Anonymous bullying of a race btw.

why'd we have to bring all this up we could have just stuck to posting black cosplayers for the person who asked and all kept our opinions to ourselves.

if you dont like them or dont want to see them just close the thread i guess.

of since op asked we could give more constructive reasons as to why there arent many such as "some feel like they wont be accurate to the character" instead of coming off negatively

sorry for being a moralfag i guess.

>Think wtf's with all the racism
>oh yeah, it's 4chan
>oh yeah, it's mainly amerifags here
>loves being a britfag

"Land of the free" my arse.

I would never say anything racist to black person irl. Mostly because I live in a good neighborhood and don't even see black people.

If I ever head down to the slums maybe we can have a conversation about it. Assuming I can actually understand them through their thick ghetto accents.

>>5263111

>>5263459
>I CANT STAND RACISM
>BTW AMERICANS ARE DUMB

oh the hypocrisy

>>5263455
...You don't really know what racism is, do you?

>>5263441
She's Storm, aahhh.

In truth this is true. It's often hard to place if you're not around it enough but I had a friend in HS who's South Indian and super dark. She was frequently asked if she was black as a result even though none of her features were remotely 'black'.

She also dressed up as Tinkerbelle on year for Halloween and was adorable. it's best not to assume anyone is anything unless they say so or you know how to ask.

What I love about black cosplayers is that they don't rely on their looks. Their love for their character clearly shines in photos and you see the play part of cosplay come out. They really embody the characters and its great to not just see someone cosplaying a character because they look like them, but because they truly like them. Man, these pictures just hold an intensity you don't usually see. I only go to conventions to meet with other anime/video game/comic fans and make more and more friends. So I would be happy to meet any of these cosplayers.

>>5263457
Exactly. These people know that society rejected their beliefs decades ago and that makes them frustrated so they go on 4chan and shit up threads.

It's pathetic and cowardly.

It's funny because all of these pictures supposedly trying to prove that blacks are good cosplayers all range from mediocre to horribly bad.

These are the best examples you can come up with? You've pretty much proven that blacks DO always suck at cosplay.

>>5263485
go be a scenefag somewhere else

no one cares about you or your dumb opinions

>>5263489
Shut up! A tripfag is talking! I want to hear their dumb opinions!

I could do an image dump op, but I don't have any new pictures. I literally have the same old pictures and I'm sick of posting them. Black cosplayers are just so rare these days, and there are so little of them, that the bad outweigh the good for a lot of people. It really sucks because so many people are stopped knowing the hate they will receive, and its just so wrong.

>>5263459
Have fun living the multicult dream where every other minority is trying to destroy the original British culture.

As a black cosplayer reading this thread, it's kind of weird to see people actually be this upset over something so stupid. Because this attitude has never been present at any cons I've been to over the past 7 years.

Look If you don't like it ignore it, you don't have to take a picture of them or talk to them. If you feel superior because you look like this character more than I do, then hey more power to you I don't know what you've think you've won, but yeah more power to you. I don't look at cosplaying as some sort of contest I go to cons to have fun, take pictures, meet people & even get my photo taken (Surprise surprise)

And yes we get it, black cosplayers WILL NEVER look like "white characters" our features are just too different. But I still cosplay them because I want to and if I'm pissing some one off because they don't like black cosplayers then good, I'm doing my job

>>5263485

What you really meant was, "Gee this could be a great cosplay if only you weren't black! Too bad."

>>5263512

I'm a black cosplayer and whenever I cosplay I beast it. I'm not sure what these racists trolltards are talking about but whenever I hit a con I always get pictures, hugs, loves, facebooks and everything. And my crafting abilities are second to none. I'm well versed in the crafting area. I commission plenty props for my squad who just so happen to be of all races, we like anime, we're fucking nerds and WE BEAST THAT SHIT! Wanna see me blow you out the water? Bring your Pharaoh Yugi, I'm currently working on mine so that should give you enough time to see if you can best me, btw I wanna see an engraved Millennium Puzzle thank you very much.

>>5263512
>Because this attitude has never been present at any cons I've been to over the past 7 years.

The feelings are there, trust me. They just don't say it because that would be rude/confrontational.

Nobody looks at a black guy dressed up as a white/asian character and goes "YUP, THAT'S NOT STRANGE LOOKING AND OUT OF PLACE AT ALL!"

>>5263520
lol you wish.

>>5263520
holding an engraved puzzle isn't going to stop you from looking like a monkey in a wig.

>>5263520
I am all for black cosplayers, but dude. Pics or it's not true. Gotta back up your claims man.

>>5263466
Not quite what I meant.
It's just a bit of a false motto I reckon. In terms of prejudice and all that it's probably the least 'free' place I can think of.
Just wanted to point out that what a lot of what people are saying here is probably a minor opinion compared to the rest of the world.

>>5263531

Because obviously black people = monkeys.

>>5263535
Racism exists in all countries, homeboy. Including yours.

>>5263527
Just like nobody looks at a white cosplayer dressed as a black/dark character and thinks that doesn't look weird. It's a lot more accepted however. Double standards yay! (Posting Korra because I have no Katara pictures.)

>>5263540
I didn't say black people are monkeys.

I said they LOOK like monkeys.

>>5263549

Oh, my bad. That's only slightly less racist.

>>5263548
That character doesn't have black skin and her features are Caucasian. She would look far better with a white person cosplaying it who is tan or applies the proper face paint.

Butthurt racists are the funniest.

>>5263554
You have not actually watched the show have you? Most white cosplayers for Katara tend to look off. The best cosplayers for the character tend to be either Black or Indian. I haven't seen a good Hispanic one yet personally.

>>5263556
Empty claim is empty. The character's features are white, not black. A black person would look stupid same as most other characters.

I'm just gonna come out and say it:
blacks are usually stereotyped as cool/badass whatever
cosplay is one of the nerdiest fucking hobbies you could get into
'the cool (yet still equally nerdy) kidz' start liking what the nerds like
omg cuz they can do it yet still seem cool and stuff cuz they're not some weedy, pasty 'average looking nerd' they don't seem as laaaame

EQUALS JELLY.

I hate that every time we have a black cosplay thread it always devolves into stupid stormfront racist bullshit.
Personally, I have such a soft spot for cute black girls and I love to see them in cosplay.

There are some color schemes in costumes I think actually look better on people with darker skin, pic related.
I don't mind black/tanned people cosplaying lighter skinned characters because there are so fucking many of them, though the other way around it tends to confuse me. I mean, you have like 5 million white/asian choices, why pick the one black one? For example, Storm is one of my all-time favorite characters but I would personally never cosplay her because there countless other Marvel/Xmen characters I could do. In the end though, it doesn't matter.
Cosplay something because you love it, not because of what color your skin is.

>>geek development
My thoughts exactly, captcha

>>5263565
lol you are retarded.

>>5263572

Not the same anon, but I see where they're coming from. It actually surprises me how often I hear rap music blaring from a car, turn to look at whoever is driving (assuming a black person of course) and the driver is white as snow. Just...an observation.

>>5263545
Oh of course, England can be a complete bitch to Muslims.
But they don't cosplay, so it's aaaall guuuurd.

If you "have" to cosplay your "own race" then why do i see so many white people cosplaying black characters like Sazh? Either you're a good cosplayer or you're a bad cosplayer. That's all it really boils down to. Btw if you butthurt racists actually shave a monkey you'll find that most of them have white skin you dumbtards. You're all just probably mad cause you can't pull off your character despite being white anyways.

>>5263583
I know I worded it kinda spagged up but Im glad someone got the message haha

>>5263587

Of course they're mad. Only Asians are top tier cosplayers anyway. Why do you think whites tear down the black cosplayers?

Found another one of OP. He's really good. He looks mixed though

Only in Cosplay, where awakawrd white neck beards & average chicks who become 8-10 in cosplay bitch about black nerds trying to have fun.

You guys do realize as a collective group cosplayers look like idiots to the average person not familiar with cosplaying or convention going right? Disregard all that "but black cosplayers look more stupid" mess we ALL look ridiculous

Hell I'll throw in lolitas too because they get twice as much shit as cosplayers & if you're black you might as well pack it up or be prepared to develop some rhino skin because you will get ripped to shreds.

>>5263587
>Either you're a good cosplayer or you're a bad cosplayer. That's all it really boils down to.

Except that part of good cosplay is looking appropriate to the character. How well you sew something or how you make a prop is only part of the deal.

>>5263602
His props could be better but he still looks better then most Link cosplayers.

You know it's true and that's what makes you mad.

>>5263602
lol both of them are awful.

>>5263604
Black people look like even bigger idiots.

>>5263611
You're such a fucking awful troll. Why do you even come on this board?

>>5263604

The folks on /cgl/ don't care about that shit. Most cosplayers in general were never the most popular, attractive,smart, best at anything in their lives(and possibly even now). So when one gets fawned over and worshiped, and over 100 favorites on their deviantart account all for dressing up as a fictional character people fantasize about, you can be damn sure it's going to give them a huge boost. They can take that boost well, or become the elitist cosplayers around today, who feel the need to tear down every bit of something that ISN'T them. God forbid they loose what little attention they get cosplaying to a black person.

>>5263606
Maybe for you, but not for me or that anon.

Good god I just want to see a convention where cosplay is banned and then see how many people are actually there to discuss and enjoy anime. I wonder how much cancer it would weed out.

>>5263634
....Wouldn't that pretty much just be asking for a meetup at an arcade, or an IRC chat?

I mean, take out the funny outfits, and why even bother to see people face-to-face?

>>5263566
Agreed. Most colours (especially bright) tend to look far better on darker skin. It doesn't get washed out like lighter skin can.
Quite a few people here say that blacks could pull it off better if they adapt the wig, but I think the dark skin/light wig contrast can look complimentary. This girl I know used to have blond hair and really suited! Then again, she was half white, so she was a more of a caramel-ish brown colour. But still.

>>5263640
I think that dark skin + light hair can look really good too!
T-Elos and Storm are good examples of it.

Well I'm gonna post even though the thread derailed pretty quickly. I'm a black cosplayer and I'm all for people cosplaying whatever the hell they want. Cosplay should be about the love of a character, their design or that series. While I prefer to cosplay tanned characters (or characters with darker hair) I'm not going to be discouraged from cosplaying my favourite character because they're not dark-skinned. Honestly for the most part the community is pretty decent. You get a few people here and there who think that you should "cosplay within your race" which I think is absolutely ridiculous, if not racist, but for the most part the average con-goer doesn't mind.

>>5263637
I only go to conventions for the panels, dances, dealer rooms, and fashion shows. Neither of those involve cosplay and I meet people all the time.

>>5263565
I lol'd so bad.
Though in some messed up way I think I might agree. Just a little.

>>5263520 Everyone juss knows how to troll these days and can't read worth a crap. it did mention something to the effect of being in progress. Most legit cosplay take time to complete. But of course all you think you need is white skin and your cosplay is epic lol...fail.

I am just gonna pop in. My boyfriend is super black and I am white with a pigment disorder making me basically glow in light I'm that pale. I'm like cats eyes in the road.

I'm not saying black cosplayers can't be good or can't do what they want I just REALLY have a lot of fun getting perfect accuracy when I cosplay. I mean I'm just under 5'0 so I'll never cosplay anyone tall as fuck. Or even average size... I mainly do like kids and stuff. (I had fun with Ryuji from toradora because I actually felt a little grown up...)

I just wanna know if there are any good cosplays to be accurate with black and white. I'd love to cosplay with my boyfriend.

I was gonna do Minda and Ganon, but now I don't know.

(Imp midna, if you recall I'm tiny.)
Thanks guys

Four things that matter to me in cosplay

1. How well the costume is made
2. Are they fit and not overweight/cosplaying body type
3. If they have a prop how well its made
4. And overall how much fun they are having

If they fit some of those requirements to me I don't give a flying fuck what their race is, a good cosplayer is a good cosplayer regardless of race. You may be pissed off that they don't look like such and such character, bitch about it all con under your breath, & have it ruin your con experience, but not I.

I take their picture, chat them up and we chill at the con and at the end of the weekend we exchange information to keep in contact. I've met my best friend of the past 4 years (who is black) this way and she is like a sister to me. So you people can complain about it all you like I enjoy seeing diversity at cons whether or not they look like the character.

>>5263617
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.gif

I don't know about accuracy (don't play vidya) but guy in OP is hot and the costume flatters him.

I'm just gonna post good cosplay then, see if we can't get this back on track.

>>5263670

Shit why'd I put Ryuji instead of Taiga. Thats it I'm sleepy I'm going to bed.

utena and akio/prince dios from revolutionary girl utena
yaone and kougaiji from saiyuki

So much bullshit in this thread. Of course white people look more appropriate in 90% cosplay roles. Most characters are light skinned with european features.

It might be unfortunate, and you can cry all you want, but it looks ridiculous when someone with black dreads and chocolate skin cosplays a light skinned character with a different hair type. You can't overlook skin color just because it's a sensitive subject and most characters aren't dark. It looks just as stupid when you see someone with light skin trying to cosplay fucking Barrett (FF7).

No ones saying blacks can't cosplay. They can. They're just going to look less accurate naturally when doing a white character. Common fucking sense.

Costume quality varies, and feel free to judge that case by case, but you're just fooling yourself if you try to take skin color out of the picture because you can't handle the subject.

Personally, I love it when tanned or darker folks cosplay characters with white hair.

Assuming the makeup and costume is right, the contrast is hnnnnngggg.

>>5263696

This all comes from our love of Storm. Because we all love Storm. It's a fact.

HNNNNNNG.

>>5263693

>>5263687
Kougaiji may be tan, but he has a very angular and pointy design, most black guys won't look good as him. Granted, I don't know how that anon's boyfriend looks like.

>>5263703
Storm was my role model as a kid. Still one of my favorites. There is never enough Storm.

I want to see someone do her wedding dress or queen of Wakanda costume though. Also, goddess of thunder = hnnng. Goddess of weather = double hnnngg.

>>5263707
hnnnnggg

This thread is now a tribute to our love for Storm.

And all other ethnic cosplayers.

... But mostly Storm cus HNNNNNNG.

no one looks like a fictional 2d character no matter their race or what have you. so maybe we should cease all the "this person is worse because...." and the "they'll never look like x character because..." no one does. and i agree with the argument that everyone who cosplays looks like a fucking idiot to the other 90% of the population that doesnt know what cosplay is, so lets accept our differences....
oh wait.
this is 4chan. that last part may be asking too much.

>>5263711

>>5263703
DEAR GOD.

YOU JUST ANSWERED MY LIFE LONG QUESTION OF ATTRACTION.

BUT HERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ACCEPTABLE ANSWER.

>>5263730
Kida, Storm, Elena, T-Elos; all my boners.

>>5263681
Woah. This is one of the few Edgeworth cosplays I've seen that don't make me rage (he's totally my husbando, so I rage pretty easily). Maybe it's because she's not face on, but either way I'm impressed!

>Cosplaying for accuracy
pfffffffffffthahahaha

>>5263741
Here we go,
She's probably my favorite Egdeworth.

Reading this thread, I'd expected to already be feeling the rage, but I just can't anymore. People are taking dressing up as cartoon and videogame characters far too seriously.

Also, what's with this "anime characters have caucasian features" thing? Anime characters don't look like people, period. I guess people are so used to a eurocentric view of the world they forget that. 90% of the time, if you take an uncolored picture of an anime character and you take it out of the context of the story, they don't "look" anything more like a white person than they do an asian person. If you drew a simple stick figure and showed it to people from Vietnam, they'd say it was a Vietnamese person. Show it to people in Senegal, they'd say it was Senegalese. Most anime characters are "Japanese" because they have Japanese names, were born and raised in Japan, and adhere to Japanese cultural norms. Just because they aren't drawn as ridiculous stereotypes doesn't mean they're white.

And, seriously, people who bring up "But Sailor Moon has blonde hair and blue eyes! Only white people have blonde hair and blue eyes!" Tell that to the Hmong, Mongolians, Melanesians, and Australian aboriginals. Sailor Mercury's hair is blue, so obviously she's an alien. Character's hair colors are partially there to help differentiate them, especially in series that involve uniforms. If they all had black hair and dark brown eyes, it'd be boring. Additionally, people arguing about the plausibility of a character's coloring when said character has magical powers, reorder your priorities.

its nice to know cgl can turn general appreciation for costume talent into a race war. congrats assholes.

You're all wrong.
No one look's exactly like any character.
No one ever will. white, black, hispanic, asian, whatever. you will never resemble the character you cosplay to a T. some look better than others in cosplay, be it a white person or a black person. so basically:
>ITT - stupid as shit people arguing about cartoon characters no one will ever look like no matter what.

>>5263808
It's a pretty shitty, unnecessarily slutty cosplay tbh.
Wtf's with the wig? I could understand maybe if she were going for shiny Umbreon, but she has yellow rings.

>>5263473
omfg ha
she looks so fucked up

So many butthurt dark skinned people in this thread. You're trying to tell me that because nobody looks exactly like a 2D character (no shit), that you might as well flip shit on it's head and say someone with black skin looks as accurate as someone with white skin when the character is white?

I mean, cosplay whatever the fuck you please. Go ahead. It's not a very serious hobby. But trying to eliminate all observations about accuracy of skintone is just as idiotic as saying black people can't cosplay.

>ITT: people taking dressing up as cartoon characters too seriously.

>>5263834

really accuracy to the character varies in plausibility. For shit like clamp characters? Not going to fucking happen. For more realistic anime that takes a stab at a more accurate representation of humans? Yeah.


Acting like accuracy doesn't matter is also stupid. That's the god damn point. Look like the character by altering your physical features and making an accurate outfit. Serious business? Maybe not. But it's the point of the fucking hobby.

>>5263840

You're mad about Capcom showing their true colors with black people, but nobody else? They're notoriously bad about that. See: every Street Fighter character ever.

>>5263869

>>5263921
certainly.

>>5263921

We need more of you around here.

>>5263918

Yes, OP is a nigger

>>5263903

Completely factual observations about skin color =/= derogatory or racist statements. For example, I am white. If you put me next to a caramel skinned black person and asked which would be more appropriate to imitate Tyra Banks, you can't be expected to say we would both match up equally. The caramel skinned woman is much more accurate. If I threw the racist card it would be idiotic. It's not racism. It's a god damn fact.

Get it straight folks. Just because a racial trait is being discussed does not mean that the conversation is of a biased nature.

>>5263951

We don't really need you here.

So many people in this thread make me sad. Attending cons in the deep south and other areas with more black people, you see tons of black cosplayers.

There's good and bad ones, same as the white cosplayers. I honestly never noticed a higher percentage of good or bad in either group. So I don't know wtf you guys are talking about.

All of the examples in this thread look awesome. I hope the idiotic racists in this thread grow up.

Cosplayers, black or otherwise, keep up the good work.

>>5263814

>>5263988
nah. my point is only than there are some peeps saying real insensitive offensive thing. some people can get really pissed or offended by it. but it's the internet and it is 4chan so....cant be helped i guess.

what if its reverse? i'm pale as fuck and i want to cosplay a black/dark skinned character.
what do.

>>5263992
there shouldnt be a double standard. either way, black or white, just do it if you like it.

>>5263992

You should give Naruto a chance.

>>5263992
That character is not black so it isn't reverse. Use makeup.

>>5264003
You can do whatever you like. But it wont mean you'll be good at it.

>>5264009
1. some ppl choose enjoyment over good or perfection. u may not agree but thats how it is

2. i agree as long as you agree that its not just one group or look. i've seen shit cosplayers from every color and ethnicity. everyone's not gonna be able to get it perfect, but they should at least be free to try without someone cutting down from the start.

I just.. can't.. sage any harder...

I'm a black girl who's never cosplayed before, but I've always wanted to do it. This entire thread makes me super-hesitant to do it, though.

>>5263707

The ridiculous irony is, she could've cosplayed Oola, who was played by a black actress. And was the hotter of the two slaves of Jabba the Hutt.

>>5264073
Good now fuck off nigger.

Suddenly ethnic Tifas hundreds of them

I absolutely love how the cosplayer in OP's pic used braids instead of some sort of straight wig.

>>5264073
Nah, don't hesitate. People are going to have their issues, regardless. Do a good cosplay, love your costume, don't be a snide bitch about it.

Not quite natural, but the muted red-brown color complements her features nicely.

>>5264210
Agreed, but lately I've been feeling... unhappy with my life. Not just unhappy, I'm actually lashing out at people because I feel really stunted in this point of my life. So I'm saving up a lot of money so I can move out and do something with my life instead of continuing to be my parents' bitch.

>>5264205
Pretty sure it's not so much racism as that cosplay is a very visual hobby and that it's impossible for someone with a dark skin to look accurate when cosplaying someone from K-On, just as it's impossible for a white person to cosplay Dutch and for an asian to cosplay Olivier Armstrong without looking ridiculous.

>>5264205

>>5264237
Race mixing is wrong, frankly I would rather not have more half nigger babies, I hate them and would prefer to at least try and make sure some of the girls here wont touch niggers.

Not all black people are horrible cosplayers. Not all white and Asian people are fantastic cosplayers.

Skin color can be worked around if you know how to use makeup and/or a bodysuit. Hell, facial features don't even matter, just search for makeup videos on YouTube and you can watch some Asian girl turn into Angelina Jolie. Just because you half-ass your cosplay doesn't mean everyone else does.

All of you are clueless simpletons. Pic somewhat related.

>>5264258

So you guys argue about who looks like a japanese cartoon character? Now I understand if it for a competition or whatever then yeah black people have no chance, but if they're just hanging out with friends at these conventions why does it matter to you who they dress up as?

And I notice with that Nigri chick she gets the same treatment from you ladies posting here, her costumes look nice and she get shit too, interesting

Dear OP, black cosplayers are cool, especially black Link. I do as a matter of fact, have one problem though. The size of his Master Sword. Its way to small!

>>5264346
Looks like we have a size queen over here.

>>5264346
I noticed the same thing.. That sword is a fucking toothpick.

Guy still looks pretty damn good, though.

>>5264354
>>5264354

Exactly!!! that's why it bugs me so much, the costume is great, up until the sword.

Anyone have a picture of that black Sailor Venus with the glorious legs?

>>5264394
Oh shit. I did, but I can't find it. Daaaamn.

Though the argument about whether anime characters look more like white people or more like Japanese people will rage on forever, but one thing's for sure, when there's a person in anime you're meant to know is black, you know he's black. And not always in the Dragonball huge-lips way.

And there's a big difference between saying "a black person will never be the ideal image of a non-black character" and "no black person should ever try, ever". Girls cosplay guys unconvincingly (and vice versa), fat people cosplay skinny characters, adults cosplay children and people with zero natural resemblance cosplay their favorite characters. That's all okay. We may not call them our favorite cosplays ever, and may moan about the fat ones in particular, but we still tolerate it and sometimes amazing craftsmanship makes up for much that natural features can't provide.

So to be the BEST cosplayer of a certain character, sure you should be someone who happens to look like them anyway. But you can still be decent anyway, and how many of us look like anime characters?

>>5264412
>case in point
Black people, don't cosplay out of your race?

>catpcha related
>what?" wardsai

this thread is mostly disheartening, and not just the huge disgusting racism (and that the people posting it think it's ok to post that where others will see it...)

but the whole attitude of cosplay and fandom over the past few years.

people seem to think that it's a contest to see who's the most perfect, the most hot.

sure, it's great if you do a really great cosplay and you happen to be lucky enough to be super hot and look like the character.

BUT THIS FUCKING HOBBY IS ABOUT SHOWING YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR DORKY FANDOM.

this is a bunch of nerds dressing up in nerdy costumes and sharing their nerdy love with each other.

this is not supermodel search.

have you guys forgotten what it was like to watch an anime and just love it so much that you couldn't help but cosplay something from it?

>>5264394
I know her, hold on. Cosplay done right.

Also, this whole debate is fucking stupid. I get the whole accuracy thing, trust me, I do. But at the same time, you have to realize black cosplayers aren't going to just throw aside characters they love to cosplay someone they look more similar to.
I worried about that one time. I asked for medium-skinned cosplay ideas, and liked none of the characters. I didn't even know many of them. So I said fuck it and went with my absolute favorite, Harley Quinn.>>5263825
She's a peach-skinned, blonde haired blue eyed white girl. Granted, I did classic for a long time where I've got face paint on. But I got up the courage to cosplay her with just the pigtails, or a dress or what have you. Then I got more confident, and did Mad Moxxi, who is clearly again, white.
Maybe I've got it lucky because my skin is so light, but still. I shouldn't have had to work up the courage to cosplay out of my skin tone.

Blackanons: Just make your costume as bad ass and perfect as possible, and tell anyone who looks at you sideways to go fuck themselves with a chainsaw. YOU'RE having fun doing what YOU love.

Got a bit worked up there, but hey. This kind of means a lot to me.

>>5264484
This so much.

People need to realize conventions are about people coming together to get away from all the bullshit in their lives to enjoy themselves among other nerds. That picture you posted shows that, people are laughing, enjoying themselves in costumes. They may not be the best costumes but they're having a great time, and cosplayers here seem to forget that.

It's all about how someone hot someone is, e-fame, or who can cosplay this design first, they don't do it for the love of a series or character anymore (some do) they do it because it will make them more popular and have a fan base. Sometime these new generation of cosplayers make me sick with their quest for "cosplay glory" to be on some hot cosplayer list, no wonder we get such a bed rep

>>5264484
Why do you think the cosplay scene is this terrible? Because it's mostly made of women who polute it with their bitchiness and by being general cunts.

Evilla from space channel 5 I believe

it used to MOSTLY be, that if you saw someone else cosplaying the same series as you, you'd go up to them and say "Hey! Cool! You're cosplaying as ______, I love that series. Right on." and maybe you made a friend.

Now it's more like "Oh, they're cosplaying _____, but they don't have exactly the right color wig and their face is too long, or they aren't quite skinny enough, or their skin color isn't exactly right" and everyone is making squinty eyes at each other.

I just used it as an example. She wears a bathing suit-esque costume similar to Power Girls. That's proper decent compared, to, say, Queen's Blade, but's its still not clothes.

Speaking of Queen's Blade, I'd love to see a black girl cosplay her.

I'm not black - more brown, really - but this was on my list when I'm a bit more proportional.

>>5264843
Ah, really?
Female characters tend to have skimpy costumes? I'm not calling anyone a whore. Where are you getting that from?
There are far more female characters who show a lot of skin than those that don't.
If you want someone to be mad at, blame the entertainment industry worldwide. Comics, games, anime, sci-fi, cinema. Yes, it's in all media.

Holy shit. What's stuck up your cunt? He meant female characters.

because sometimes its a fetish to japanese people

Yeah some of her costumes are more risque than others. I'd really like to see someone do her Thunder Goddess costume.

Durarara and Bleach have some darker skinned characters. Also quite a few gundam series' do as well (8th MS Team, for example)

Durarara has simon do they have anymore? I don't really recall anyone else but him.

>>5264547 This has nothing to do with cosplay accuracy,

It does. In some cases, your bringing to life a character people obsess about. /a/ pretty much has enough waifu threads that it's a good barometer on the whole nerd culture as a whole. And these are nerds whom are socially inept. And i'm just talking about the USA folks. Imagine the Japanese Otaku. They're worse!!

Imagine how a group of these nerds would react if their waifu is cosplayed wrong. You're seeing it to a small degree on this thread. Imagine if it was let go in a convention setting. It'll make peace-bonding weapons look justifiable.

everybody needs to calm the fuck down.

damn, you don't see that every day

Korra's not black. She's Inuit / Yupik.

>>5265130

Everyone needs to cosplay accurately.

>>5265130

Sauce on this? What year did HunnyBunny attend Comiket? Curious to know if there are more pictures.

>>5265193
Unless some Inuits/Yupik are rampant in the cosplay scene, darker skinned people will just look better cosplaying her.

Cosplay is a hobby.
Whoever wants to cosplay whichever charakter can. do. that.
I don't care, I just want to meet awesome people, who like the same things I do love.
