so i’m a bit nervous because I’m hosting the San Francisco hetalia day meetup and the only cosplay I can pull together would be fem!spain. However I’m rather pale now and I posted my Spain cosplay last year and people said stuff like cultural appropriation and??? ?? what to do?? I thought people could cosplay any character regardless of skin color but this is only limited to all non-white people??

  14. queer-sama said: I think you should definitely cospay fem!spain. Fuck those people who said that. Cosplaying doesn’t have rules. You can cosplay anyone no matter what your gender is or the color of your skin. Cosplay is supposed to be fun :) So please enjoy yourself
