Coloured Cosplay Appreciation Post

xskylar:

Hello!

First of all, I do not have many coloured (specifically black) friends who cosplay. These are friends I know who do though. For the record, I am making this post because it makes me SICK hearing and reading about people who say that only certain people should be allowed to do it. Namely ‘white people and Asians’

Pardon me, but cosplay is a hobby, is life for many, and is (should be!) for fun. Cosplay is something to enjoy for yourself and with your friends. Skin colour does NOT matter. So to those of you with racist and discriminating comments about it:

Shut the fuck up.

Black people are JUST as capable at cosplaying and JUST AS GOOD at it as any other white person or Asian. There are also just as many HORRID cosplay photos of white people and Asians, too, so skin colour does NOT make up for a bad cosplay.

No matter your race when you cosplay, remember that you are just as amazing as everyone else. Take pride in your skin and don’t let ignorant assholes make you think otherwise.

This is 2012 people. 

Oh, and for a random fun fact, I am actually part Jamaican. I am not completely white even if it looks otherwise. So what have you to say now bitches?

I would rant more but I’ll just get angrier and more rude.

Now look at my beautiful BLACK cosplaying friends and reblog this if you agree with and support my views.
