to piece their elaborate getups together.

Now, true, what I just mentioned as far as artists certainly extends to those cosplayers who glue, sew, weld, etc. All that being said, I’ve gotta say that I’m not such a huge fan of genderbent cosplay. It’s a way for artists to stretch their creative muscles in designing costumes that are decidedly masculine or feminine while still preserving all that is inherent in their character. There’s also all of the unofficial fanart out there, like this drawing of Tinkerbell from a Petra Pan universe theĪrtist created. I mean, it’s the reason that the pretty amazing Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake exists, and that’s a gosh darn national treasure. This may or may not surprise you, but I kind of love that rule. This follows the 63rd Rule of the Internet, which stipulates that “for every given male character, there is a female version of that character” and vice versa.

I’m not sure I should have to explain what that is, but I’m going to anyway: it’s when a person dresses up as a character, fictional or otherwise, who is of a different gender than they are, which we’re going to view for the sake of this post as being an either/or distinction. Also, as someone who considers himself the internet’s foremost 2 Broke Girls-ologist, I need to express my disappointment that the guy playing Caroline is missing her iconic pearls.Īnyway, the focus of the article was the burgeoning presence of genderbent cosplay. Here’s that picture, so we can get that out of the way and move on to the actual topic at hand.
