We're not a Costume, But a Culture
Article: The Campaign Against Racially insensitive Costumes
I do agree with the campaign simply because some of the costumes are just offensive, but what I don't get is why cosplayers will have to suffer. Amount of the costumes that some of the cosplay groups I have known have attempted to say that we are culturally insensitive.
Geisha and Samurai costumes have been around for years, some people like the elegence of the costumes, while some people are starting to take it a little far.
I'm against one thing, Muslims costumes, I'm sorry, but having several Muslims as friends, they don't deserve to be called terrorists or anything of the sort. There are thousands of kids out there that take that kind of problems.
Costumes and such are part of having fun, not part of bullying. I'm against this kind of bullying and I think though that cosplayers shouldn't be in the middle of this. So if people are going to go around saying that we are living a stereotype, I'm going to say you're wrong, Anime is not a stereotype.
