Cosplayers are NOT objects

uchihahotline:

I received some comments today that really made me laugh at their stupidity. 

A young man commented on one of my cosplay photos saying that Kevin and I can’t do SasuSaku anymore and that I’m “not ugly but can’t cosplay Sakura.”

His reason?

“Sakura doesn’t interest me so this cosplay does nothing for me. Maybe if you cosplay another character I will like it better.”

I told him he can’t tell people who to cosplay and he replied, “Lol sure I can, you make these cosplays for me or why else would you post them?”

PSA:

COSPLAYERS ARE NOT HERE TO FULFILL YOUR SELF-ENTITLED, DISGUSTING FANTASIES. WE DRESS UP FOR OURSELVES AND FOR FUN, NOT FOR YOU TO PLEASURE YOURSELF TO. Stop objectifying women of cosplay – we are not your toys. You can dislike someone’s cosplay, sure, but you can’t tell them to stop cosplaying a character just because you don’t like that specific one, and you are definitely not allowed to tell a cosplayer who they can or cannot cosplay based on your likes. You also do not have any right to tell a cosplayer that they’re only allowed to cosplay what you want because “they make their cosplays for you.” How stupid and delusional can you be.
