Cosplay your type? I don't think so

Now I'm always an advocate for doing whatever you want. Life's short, we've all got some place to be and something we wanna do. So don't let that neckbeard tell you Hinata would never wear her hair up in a pony tail or that you're not "brolic" enough to pull off a broly cosplay. These are just the warbled, pathetic sounds of people holding you back.

Now, with that said, we can visit the other side of the conversation. I think we can all agree when someone takes the point "do what ya want" too far. But can we draw a clear line? I think people miss the point when they try to make a cosplay that is E X A C T L Y like the character. It's impossible. Unless you share the same genetic makeup, you're not gonna get it. I understand, with the right tools and contouring skills of a makeup goddess, you could get pretty darn close, but let's not go there.

So here we are, smack dab in the middle. We've got one side saying what you can't do with your body and another who's just thrown caution to the wind. What do you do to keep yourself balanced?

In the end, just don't be ignorant. There's no way anyone can replicate a cosplay to perfection (without some digital help), so be creative, but respectful when going about it. And if you criticize anyone's cosplay, you can throw yourself in the dump. Period.
