Anime Question

What do you think of "Crossplayers"?

I know this question may appear awkward to those out there, but I've been trying to figure this out sense yesterday and I could use some knowledge and professional opinions to those out there who know what I'm talking about. After all, this is just me being curious and wondering. That's all there is to this.

Do you honestly, in your perspective, believe Crossplayers are weird, creepy, or stupid in anyway? I mean, to me I don't think they are because it's them using their creative minds and showing their favorite characters from their favorite series. Or they could be opening up and trying something different too. So, what's your take on this?

If you're going to be a troll and just mock me, that's strictly fine too. I can allow ya'll to act like that. But I'm only seeking answers and advice because I'm curious and wondering is all.

I've found myself somewhat jealous. My sister crossplays and girls can pull it off and be respectable and cool. But guys? Most of the pics I've seen make me think they just want attention, are just being goofy, or look just wrong. If I did it, I'd want to honor the female character that I admire or relate to and be taken seriously. But I'd never do it, since I think I'd just look horrible. Guess I'll just leave the crossplaying to avatars and video games.

So, you think it's wrong for them to do it? Just wanting an understanding is all. i mean, I gotten what you said about humor and attention but isn't being humorous and having fun part of it?

Okay. I get you now. :) Sorry I jumped to that conclusion. Just didn't understand was all.

yeah, i'm not the kind of guy that would want to go "tee-hee, look at me" and wear a frilly dress and all. maybe a more stoic character like Claire from Claymore would work better.

As a crossplayer myself so I should hope that I'm for it. I'm female but there really aren't any female characters I really want to cosplay. People cosplay for their own entertainment because they like the character. Regardless of the gender. I've seen boys cosplay girls and look prettier than me, I've seen girls cosplay guys and look more manly than Gaston (/shot/). In my opinion I tend to prefer people crossplaying than people cosplaying genderbends of characters, unless it's just because they prefer the outfit they can make for it better, I really hope no one is limiting themselves to what they can do.

So I understand. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :) It meant a lot to me and I think I've got the answers I've been looking for. By the way, I think it's awesome you Crossplay too. I don't think anyone has to be labled just because what they believe in is different from everyone else.

Who cares what people think, cosplay who you want.
One cool thing about conventions is that you can go there and be yourself, no matter how weird you are. That's whats so fun about it.
So in the end I'm saying I have no problem with it.

I never cosplayed or gone to a convention but I sure hope to one day.

That's very caring and sweet of you to say, but do you also think it's weird to see guys Cosplaying as Anime girls? That's what's troubling me at the moment.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just clothes, after all, and I don't like when people say clothes have a gender.
Unless someone is purposefully doing it to be perverted, there's no problem at all imo
I've seen plenty of crossdressers. Sometimes they do it at cons to be funny and other times they have spectacular cosplays. Gender doesn't matter when you're having fun !
I cosplay both male and female characters actually, so

As a crossplayers I approve of it, it's not fair to make fun of someone because they want to dress as their favorite character even though it's the opposite gender
and honestly
I'm a girl, I cosplay Italy, and everyone says i'm their headcannon Italy even though i'm a girl
