Question: Why is it that a cosplayer can dress up as a character they don’t own or have a license of and charge money for pics and appearances, but I can’t create and sell my own Spider-Man merchandise?

I do find it a little ridiculous that if a video game dev or an artist made a rendering/drawing that was just like that last picture, Kotaku and others would probably call them sexist. It’s a bit of a double standard.

Personally I think it’s a free country and people are allowed to dress how they want, although I would…

Don’t worry. Feminist Law dictates that every single MRA here is committing misogyny for denying your effort to point out misogyny.

sorry but half of these are “fanservice”far from the quality of for example Ironman cosplayers, or gundam cosplayers.
This is bull and you know it

Expressing yourself as character someone else created?

I just don’t understand cosplay....

this is not Chun-Li

Seriously Kotaku? Can we remove that last pic and perhaps not perpetuate negative stereotypes about our culture?

Why is Kotako spreading sexism by highlighting photos of girls dressed in objectifying outfits. For shame.....
