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.

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.
