I am honestly afraid to cosplay because I am a size 14. I’m not a size 14 because I’m overweight and I’m sitting around on the couch all day. I’m a size 14 that works out, walks all the time, and diets. I’m a size 14 because of my kidney failure— due to imminent circumstances— NOT due to weight. I am afraid to cosplay because of you jackasses who hate on the larger set women. In fact, I have to struggle with compliments due to the fact I believe they were given in pity— not truth. It’s all because of you lifeless jerks who tell plus size cosplayers that they can’t cosplay. I go through various phases where I simply give up on wanting to cosplay due to you. This woman is having fun with what she’s doing and it shows her figure perfectly. I wish I had HALF the courage to do such a thing— but I don’t. Because people have told me over and over that I can’t. I’m just now building up any sort of courage to cosplay because of my fantastic boyfriend. However, the one time I went out, no one wanted my picture. In all reality, it was because no one recognized the character. I was broken because I simply thought it was because of my weight. I hope you all really think before you post, haters. It may just change a cosplayer’s life.
