#16 – Fat Cosplayers
Yay, another rant from GhettoKitten! Have you ever been one of those people at an anime convention who gets teased because you are overweight and have the nerve to cosplay? Or one of the ones hating on fatties? You know… you don’t always know WHY things are like that for that person. It is NOT always due to eating like a pig… if you’ve had surgery, or are on psychiatric meds… even if you barely eat, you can gain a hundred pounds. So you don’t need to be like that… and am I the only person who most weight loss supplements make completely rabid hyper and insane? I would like to find one to go with my limited workout regime, but am still looking… and just a LITTLE afraid to try. I think people should cosplay regardless of size… and still be WHICHEVER character they want to be, by the way. I’ve seen some absolutely adorable ones who were maybe 300 lbs… and unfortunately, they were almost in tears because people were cruel… and DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE ONLINE COMMENTS OF PICTURES FROM CONVENTIONS.
I suppose it’s the one thing I don’t get… Anime conventions are the most friendly and loving and fun place I know of… and yet there are still people doing hateful things. Why does even the happiest place on earth have to have something miserable? Can’t we have at least one purely wonderful thing that isn’t tainted? I’m an L supporter… but I have to agree with you, Raitu… This world is rotten.
