To anyone who still professes that racism isn’t an issue in the cosplay community. It fucking is. This hobby is unwelcoming and unsafe for many.
We are FAILING black cosplayers. We need to do better.

Repeat after me: bisexual people in a relationship with a partner of a gender different from their own are STILL bisexual. Their bisexuality is not erased. Please stop contributing to the idea that a person’s sexuality is defined by the relationship they are in.

For when cons return: please no more legal names on con badges requirement.
It can violate confidentiality, put people at risk, deadname, misgender and not to mention completely guarantee that I won’t be wearing that badge no matter how many times I’m told to 🤷♂️

If you're a trans person at a con and you're worried about using the washroom alone know that I will go with u. If u need help asking the con for your deadname to not be used on your badge know that I will advocate for u. I'm sure many others share this commitment. We're with u!

I was once told by a famous cosplayer that I haven't "earned" respect as a cosplayer because I've never entered/won the World Cosplay Summit. After being hurt by this and ruminating on it I've decided to disregard what this person said because EVERY cosplayer deserves respect.

Schrödinger's Cosplay: the state wherein you are too afraid to finish a cosplay because it’s all good now but you’re afraid your next steps will wreck it... the cosplay is both perfect and destroyed at the same time.

“They don’t make their own costumes” is NOT a way to invalidate a cosplayer or say they’re somehow unworthy. Make it or buy it, cosplay is cosplay and it’s what YOU define for yourself not what you impose on others.

Cosplay doesn’t invalidate a person’s trans-ness. It’s not an accident that there are many trans cosplayers, but the reason isn’t that cosplay influences ppl to be trans... it’s that cosplay provides a safe place to explore gender. Let’s gosh darn keep it that way.

Blackface/brownface isn’t accuracy. It’s racist. And it’s also a statement of selfishness. If you’re so self centered that you would choose to do something for a hobby that you know is hurtful that’s conceited and that’s fucked.

Please remember that not placing in a cosplay contest IN NO WAY means that your cosplay is bad. It often comes down to small details, number of techniques used, stage performance etc. and it’s also subjective (all art is!). People love your cosplay- trophy or not! ❤️

“This stuff breaks families” BECAUSE of unsupportive parents. Let’s be clear. Children are not dolls that you have ownership over and can demand to dress, live and look a certain way to please you.

Claiming someone doesn’t “look” non-binary makes no sense... there’s no set group of ways that non-binary folks “look”.
Can we just all accept that someone’s gender is something you have to get to know about a person... not a snap assumption you can make at a glance?

Hilarious seeing all the "reviews" of The Witcher decrying it for being a Game of Thrones ripoff.
1. The Witcher book was released in '93, GoT book was released in '96
2. The Witcher game came out in 2007, 4 years before GoT TV show
2. GoT did NOT invent gritty fantasy genre

Please don’t say “men and trans men”. You can refer to the differences between those experiences by saying “cis men and trans men”. By implying that “men”, by default, refers to cis men you are othering trans men.
