The World of Cosplay Ethics

Cosplayers suffer from harsh discrimination within their very own community. Some of which include discrimination of skin color, of gender, of weight, of sexual preferences, and of most importantly… physical disabilities. It is not that cosplayers are intentionally being insensitive towards people with certain attributes, it’s mostly because some cosplayers base what they see as "good" cosplay on a certain criteria. Unfortunately this criteria could be based on standards that only a selected few can meet. Come and explore the taboos of cosplay and preventative ways to keep the cosplay community from becoming more morally corrupted with

       Cosplay Ethics

This blog explores problems in the cosplay communities that a lot of other websites discuss within threads, but brings it all in one place for your convenience. These problems include:

I. Discrimination of people with

                   1. Physical Disabilities or Impairments,
          2. Of certain Races and Phenotypes,
          3.  Of certain Weight,
          4. And of certain Sexual Orientations and Genders.

II.  Copyright infringement and cosplay contests.

III. Sexual harassment and invasion of privacy of 
                                cosplayers.

IV. Fandoms

V. The Brief and amazing world of conventions
                      and much more.


This blog will also feature interviews from cosplayers as well as other people affiliated within the realm of the cosplay and animation community. This blog will expose harsh websites who have threads dedicated to the mockery of cosplays they deem unfit or a fail. But most importantly this blog will be a fun, and informative journey into the creative and crazy world of cosplay. Because at the end of the day, cosplaying is all about having fun, and being who you want to be. Whether they are a human,  a time lord, a namekian, a Klingon, the ice king, a box, or whatever they feel like being that day. It’s all in the name of fun.
