On Cosplay being stained by racism...

It has been a really long while since I got some free time to spend online and obviously, I have not cared about most of my online accounts, multiply, facebook, deviantart and everything else blah blah blah (you must now find me as a very boring person lol).
So anyway, I was wasting my time on youtube looking up cosplay tutorials and ideas for the surprisingly TONS of cosplay events for the coming months, and then I was rather terribly surprised by how terrible the racism war is over the internet, even on youtube! and for pikachu's sake, even on cosplay?!
It was the first time I have encountered stereotype bashing from an asian (cosplay fan apparently, I'm not even sure if he or she is a cosplayer herself/himself) oh wait, let me rephrase that, ( cosplay racist apparently...)
He have written so many offending statements on his videos' description that I can't even understand since his english is so bad LOL
I grew up loving and knowing cosplay as a hobby and as a means of having fun so I was really disappointed and really surprised at how he even MADE UP laws concerning cosplay such as cosplay being only for asians and definetely was not meant to have FUN?!
It really makes my blood boil becauase apparently there are still people with brains the size of a sun dried raisi, known by the world as Racist!
Me, not caring about anything practically has no issue with racist, I mean I do drag races LOL (kidding)...O_O; ....but seriously, even for cosplay?!?
I was obviously so pissed off by ************** I was able to write this blog entry in no time (=_=)
Nobody is superior in cosplay, I believe in EQUALITY, if you don't agree with me then give me your lunch money and I shall feed it to the drowning kappa in the desert @.@ ...say what?!?

There are good asian cosplayers, sure there's Arisa Mizuhara and Kipi to name a few, but there are also not so good asian cosplayers, and the way ************** describes the physical traits of Asians, apparently she was sleeping during their geography class and failed to hear that India is part of Asia and basically contradicts the traits she believes how all asians look.
While there are not so good western cosplays, I am proud to mention that I am a fan of Adella's Aerith cosplay simply because she resembles the character. I also love the infamous Link cosplayers, they're gorgeous! plus I have quite a number of western cosplay pals that I'd love to cosplay with sometime soon and besides, Not all Anime or game characters fit asian physique, I cannot ultimately imagine even if I squeeze my brain out of my head how an Asian cosplayer could put off a good FF7 Barrett cosplay unless he's of mixed race, nor Tina of DOA aside from the fact that most Asians are flat chested *ouch!* Tina is a westerner (is there such a word? O_O I cannot effectively pronounce it lol)
So there! I just wanted to let it all outta my chest, I am very very pissed at how some people really tend to stain the purity of cosplay just for their own pointless problem/s concerning the other races

love and fish

i've run into a few people like that, online and IRL. evaluate the cosplayer on how well he or she executed his or her cosplay, i always say.
