Body/looks shaming in the cosplay community… let’s talk about it.

If you have been bullied for how you look as a cosplayer you are not alone.

#cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #bullying #positivity #cosplayer
Body/looks shaming in the cosplay community… let’s talk about it. If you have been bullied for how you look as a cosplayer you are not alone. Body/looks shaming aren’t unique to cosplay. But as cosplayers wear their craft on their bodies it can mean that existing in cosplay community can expose us to frequent comments about our bodies. Some comments can be hateful and place pressure on us to look a certain way. Being insulted for how you look is not a reflection on your appearance! It’s is a reflection of systemic discrimination against fat people, people of color, women, trans people and people with disabilities that strives to create suffocating conditions in which people are allowed to exist. It’s a form of control, not criticism. If you see someone body shaming what should you do? -Say something. Being silent implies permission for awful behavior and messed up views to continue. -Challenge assumptions. Being fat isn’t laziness and being thin isn’t a sign of hard work. Question why when you hear assumptions or make them yourself. -Check in with how you talk about your own body. It isn’t just about how we treat others, but also how we treat ourselves.

Does this happen to anyone else? You’re working on stuff all happy then open your eyes and suddenly it’s 3 hours later and the Hamburglar or hit glue has totally trashed your workspace?

I just seek cleanliness and order 😭

Transferable cosplay skills: show this to your parents if they say “cosplay is a waste of time” 😉

What have you learned through cosplay? 🤔

#cosplay #cosplayer #wip
Transferable cosplay skills: How cosplay helps in everyday life Public speaking Whether it’s performing or running panels, cosplay can help hone your public speaking skills! Public speaking is enormously helpful in many jobs, for example: teaching, communications and leadership. Problem-solving Cosplayers are masters of novel approaches— we make weird stuff from actual garbage. This innovation translates into work spaces, daily life and even situations where you may have to McGuyver a tool together. Organization and time management Cosplays are huge projects and can take months of work— getting a project done from start to finish requires planning and dedication. Learning how to organize your cosplay projects can help you organize other life tasks.

Sorry for the slow updates! First I injured my back/shoulder (bad news) but then we adopted a a kitten (great news)!

Her name is Evie and she’s 3 months old and super cuddly. Today she learned about windows! Look at her kitten mind being blown 😂

Learning from other cosplayers :
One of the coolest things about cosplay community is the way we share information, tutorials, tips and tricks.

#cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayetiquette #convention #animeconvention
Check for tutorials and progress photos: If you like how someone fabricated a cosplay, try searching for tutorials/progress shots they’ve posted publicly already! Some cosplayers document their process for this reason exactly, and some may have specific tutorials (either for free or for purchase). Give credit and shoutout inspos: If you end up learning from someone’s work, share their tutorial and credit them! There is no shame in getting help, and honoring those who have helped you promotes more exchange in cosplay. The etiquette of asking: When asking another cosplayer how they did something try to be specific. “How did you make your cosplay” is a really hard (and long) answer to give. A more direct question, like “what material did you use to make your armor” is much easier to answer. Be mindful of time/effort: Be aware that not all cosplayers have time/ability or desire to respond to DMs and comments. Many folks try to keep up best they can, but we’re all human and have different thresholds for how social media factors into our lives. A lack of response isn’t personal, it’s more likely a time issue.

Trans Awareness Week- 4 facts to grow your knowledge on trans issues

#trans #transgender #transawareness #transawarenessweek #transgenderawarenessweek
Did you know? Trans people have always existed. Records of trans experience span over millennial and across continents. “Research Points - Trans, Two-Spirit & Non-Binary People Have Always Existed.” We Are Allies , Provincial Health Services Authority , www.weareallies.ca/research-points-ttnb-people. Accessed 13 Nov. 2025. Did you know? Gender-affirming care is not new. It has been offered since as early as the 1920s in Germany. That’s earlier than the development of antibiotics. “Research Points - Trans, Two-Spirit & Non-Binary People Have Always Existed.” We Are Allies , Provincial Health Services Authority , www.weareallies.ca/research-points-ttnb-people. Accessed 13 Nov. 2025. “Penicillin | Discovery, History, Uses, Types, Side Effects, & Facts | Britannica.” Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, www.britannica.com/science/penicillin. Accessed 13 Nov. 2025. Schillace, Brandy. “The Forgotten History of the World’s First Trans Clinic.” Scientific American, Scientific American, 20 Feb. 2024, www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/. Did you know? Trans people thrive when they are supported. Trans youth who are affirmed do just as well as their cisgender peers. “Research Points - Social Transition & Affirmation.” We Are Allies , Provincial Health Services Authority , https://www.weareallies.ca/research-points-social-transition-and-affirmation. Accessed 13 Nov. 2025. Did you know? Supporting trans people is just about respect. You don’t have to be an expert. Just listen when people tell you who they are.

Resist harmful narratives

Recognize when narratives that might promote crash diets or fatphobic/transphobic ideas about matching a character’s size bubble up in discourse. These things can be so normalized they go unnoticed— so calling them what they are is important.

Alter your cosplays

Don’t like how a cosplay design exposes part of your body or hugs places you don’t want hugged? Change it! Altering cosplay designs so they fit your body/comfort better is a great way to feel more at ease.

Online isn’t reality

If you’re comparing yourself to what others post online. Don’t. Through angles, the right pose and editing/retouching people present their curated best online. No shade, we all do it, but know that what you’re seeing isn’t anyone’s normal.
