Do people who cosplay as gender bent characters get a lot of slack? I want to go as a gender bent dbz character but I don't want to be annoyed or insulted :/
I've cosplayed a handful of genderbent designs and have never had any issues. I really feel like it depends on how you go about the outfit... I've noticed, though, that genderbent male to female cosplays do sometimes get slack if they show too much skin doing so(original character is fully clothed in pants, long shirt, etc. but genderbent in bootyshorts or mini skirts and a crop top)...
Like, I generally don't have a problem with how people decide to cosplay the characters, but like... if it has nothing to do with the character...
I can't.
It's people's choices how they cosplay in the end, and there's no "right" or "wrong" way to do something, but people are always going to find something to complain about.
Just take it in stride, however you decide to do it. We're all dressing up like anime, video games, and comic characters. As long as you enjoy yourself and no one gets hurt, 5 gold stars for you. lol
