Yayz, SGCafe and CosFest drama!! Don't you simply love a big dose of this!! 8DDD
So what is it now? Basically there was this guy in another forum who said:
wow liao nv expect our singaporean in asia cosplay untill so ugly and disgustin then those country lor. no offence it truth. still got indian somemore. wow liao leh beng tat han.
The words were retained, the bold was by me.
Reaction 1: WTF. ._. Not again.
Reaction 2: No wonder people hate Singaporeans. There're still so many retards among us whocan't even type to save their lives are still so close-minded. =\
PSST OFFICERS. SUBTLE RACISM ONLINE PLZTHX 8D
I don't know. What do you guys think? =\ Are you really restricted by the skin of your colour? Does that mean that just because I'm pale I'm not allowed to cosplay a dark-skinned character like King?
To me, it's really absurd. So what if the cosplayer was Malay, Indian, Caucasian or some particular race? I think what really matters on the baseline is the quality of their costume, wigs if necessary and props, whether they can bring the character to life and so on. The cosplayer that was mentioned by the guy, it's possible to see she put in more effort than many Chinese cosplayers. So what if they had fair skin and was thus more "fit" to cosplay whatever character they chose? If their costume was poorly made and they didn't bring out the feeling of the character, then they're not any better.
Then again, this is SINGAPORE. Where politics gets into cosplay and there's no such thing as "fun" in the general cosplay scene. Where EVERY SINGLE THING, EVEN YOUR SIZE, MATTERS.
That guy has never cosplayed, for sure. There's no way he'd open his mouth and freely let degrading and nitwit comments like that flow otherwise. It takes courage, time, lots of money and even more dedication to get a proper cosplay done and bring it to life in an event. I think every single cosplayer at these events deserve a big pat on their backs.
Not talking about my cosplay people though. You've all been wonderful, beautiful people :) ♥ I'm really really lucky to have met you all.
What do you think?
Ja,
