Please don't turn this into a fat vs thin debate, I just want to know if it's possible to pull off cosplay at a larger size

>> No.9570307

>>9570293
as long as you dont have a condescending lying obnoxious personality like her then nothings wrong with being bigger you can still pull it of cosplay is for fun not about making money, fame or who is the hottest
if your doing it for the right reasons then you shouldnt care what people think its just for fun not like ur making money?
appreciate the character and try your best to be accurate and dont make them unnecessarily lewd for attention
fatties will always be made fun of thats just how it is and you can never be accurate with body types but that dont mean you cant look good
you cant do something and expect everyone to like it

>> No.9570309

Is the character fat or chubby?
If yes, then it can be good. If no, then it's not good. I have seen only few good fat thin characters which have looked good.

Do it because you love the character who cares if your bigger if your doing it for fun?
But remember you will never be able to be the accurate character so you can only be the fat version.

I think it depends on WHY you want to cosplay. Do you just want to dress up as your favourite character? If so, go for it. Cosplay for fun is for everyone.

Do you want to enter competitions, do it professionally/semi professionally, or do other things where faithfulness to the original character is very important part of it? Then you can still cosplay, but it's best to pick characters that are a similar build to yourself. (And that goes for whatever body type you have). There's more thin characters, but that doesn't mean there's no larger ones nor that all thin people are the same shape/can pull off all thin characters.

Sadly, this is seen everywhere. Oh, you're not Ash. You're Black Ash. You're not 2B. You're Fat 2B. It's dumb as fuck. Like, I'm sorry I don't look 100% like the character. I can only do so much.

Yes. As long as the cosplay is well made and you look good in it. Ignore the people saying you should only cosplay fat characters. That's no better than telling black people to only cosplay black characters.

This, or if you ask specifically people who are fat fetishists.

Those are the 2 real answers. Anyone else who compliments you is just being nice from social obligations.

>> No.9570495

Yes, it just requires being thoughtful about what cosplay will suit you. I think this can be done a couple ways.

The way that will get the most positive reaction from other people is to pick larger characters (Rose Quartz, Roadhog, the Witch of the Waste). You avoid >>9570464's (correct) observation because you won't be fat Pam Poovey, you'll just be accurate Pam Poovey. To a certain extent (depending on whether you're Lane Bryant plus-sized or morbidly obese), this extends to characters who are drawn plump but not fat (Cinderella's Fairy Godmother) or are drawn like average people instead of supermodels to start with (Ms. Frizzle) before the dreaded "fat version of character" kicks in.

The second is to pick costumes that flatter your body -- honestly, this is one of Moo's cuter cosplays. If it wasn't Moo (and if the stockings and nails weren't so awful), no one at a con would think "What a terrible cosplay." No one would pay attention to it, but, as a corollary to no one paying attention to it, no one would shit on it.

If a white can cosplay an Asian character I don't really see why a black couldn't cosplay a character of another race as well. Sure it may not be 100% "accurate" but plenty of characters miss physical marks like eye color, chest size, height, build, chub vs super skinny, etc

A risky selfpost but here I go. I think that if the costume is well made and the person wearing it is not obese even competing is okay. I myself haven't competed but I don't think the weight of the cosplayer should matter. Of course skinny cosplayers tend to look better but well fitted cosplay, good posture and stuff like that help us fatties.

You're not fat, though. Like, your arms and waist are thicker and I see it on you a little bit overall, but you're not a fatty. I don't go by /cgl/ definition of fat ever because it doesn't mean anything here.

You're also wearing a really "safe" cosplay that's hiding your body and maybe problem areas well. Like good for you, though. Cosplay what you want.

I think more what the OP wants to know is how really chubby girls can pull off things. >>9570509 is fat for example, but it works okay because the focus is on her chest and her waist is pulled in.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of people. I feel that as long as you're putting in the effort to make yourself look good in something, it doesn't matter as much if you're plus size or not. As long as the costume doesn't look like it's suffocating you, I could care less. Although, I really like seeing plus size girls cosplaying bigger characters, there's just a certain charm to it.

Biting the self post bullet as well, mostly because I really loved cosplaying Deku's mom and I actually felt good about myself in this.
