So that amazing black Nezuko cosplayer (which was her very 1st time cosplaying btw) had to lock down her Twitter because of racist assholes. Whenever we speak up about the discrimination in the cosplay community, yall say that it doesn't exist and try to silence us. (1/9)

As a black cosplayer who's been in the game for over 10 years: Black creators get their content stolen all the time, but this aint it. Those are Danny Phantom's iconic catchphrase & pose. Other cosplayers have done these things before you. You might as well go after them too.

Reminder to cosplayers: If parts of a character's design don't translate well in real life or if you want it to be comfortable for you, then you're allowed to change up parts! Not everything has to be 100% accurate. As long as it still screams the character, then you're good!

I actually knew about cosplaying since 2005, but didn't actually do it until 2010. The reason is because I saw so many black cosplayers online get a ton of racist comments. Also so many people told me that I wouldn't look good cosplaying because of my skin color and size. (5/9)

Cosplayers are gonna cosplay as the same character and especially if the character is super popular. No one owns the character unless if it's their oc. And even if folks cosplayed the same character, there's still gonna be some differences like here.
