Is it weird to do sexy cosplay of characters who are children?

[JustinTheGreat]

Just wondering everyone’s opinions cause I see some people who say it’s a bit weird.

For example you’ll see a lot of “sexy Dorothy” costumes but Dorothy is supposed to be 12 years old in the movie.

Personally I feel as long as the person wearing the costume is an adult themselves, I don’t really care

I’ve also seen people say the same thing about ‘sexy school girl’ costumes as well

Yeah I do agree its weird. I am ok with older characters if you really want to sexualize yourself and the character but keep that from children characters thats just inappropriate. Sadly nothing surprises me anymore, I have seen a "sexy baby" haloween cosplay some time ago.

I've done little red ridding hood and the big bad wolf before, and me and the girl at the time didn't find it weird, lol. I think it's up to you. Everyone has different opinions of things like that. It's not like there's actual children involved.

Have fun. It's your fantasy. Not everyone elses!

As long as the person wearing the costume has an adult woman's body, I don't see a problem. It can be super hot when a woman pretends to be innocent just for fun. Dorothy, Little Red Riding Hood, school girl, whatever.

You mean like this guy who dressed as a schoolgirl and went into the schoolgirls toilets in peru?

[AngryCarl2]

I wonder what tipped them off that he wasn't a schoolgirl?

Sexy costumes/cosplay are ridiculous to begin with. It's low effort and undignified. Girls will put on a yellow bikini and call it a "Pikachu" cospaly. Bloody moronic.

No. Its more weird people get caught up on it. Cosplay is Japanese, but you tend to find white girls doing it like it's their culture.

[JustinTheGreat]

Cosplay itself is not culture appropriation. It’s nothing more than wearing a costume of a character
As long as you aren’t doing anything offensive such as blackface or anything stereotypical, it’s not appropriation

Sexualizing children has been unfortunately a very common practice for generations.

Ohhh. little' Dora is all grown up🍑🍑🍑. Jokes aside, it looks weird to me.

[RobT312]

I agree with u, that wouldn’t bother me as long as the person is an adult

[AngryCarl2]

As long as they're not sexualizing kids I don't see a problem. Should we be seeing Dora the Explorer's ass cheeks? Probably not.

I'm gonna say nope. For the simple fact that people who freak out over this, are the same people who call guys that are attracted to Arianna Grande, pedos because she "looks like a child" to their stupid dumbass eyes. 🤣

I think it’s weird, but won’t get mad or anything as long as they don’t dress that way in front of real children.

Yes I think it’s odd but definitely more so when the character is made for children - like the Dora cosplay in your example.

No.. is it weird for woman to dress as a school girl, or cheerleader? Its universally seen as sexy

[Anonymous]

Most cosplay involving women is sexy at least to men, even without trying

[Sera10]

My ex boyfriend used to dress me up in school girl clothes. He’s would use me like a toy lol

[NathanDavis]

lmfao @Backpack..

[BCA6010]

Yes, it's weird, and can be creepy.

[Genie23]

That's so creepy and cringey... ugh

[Summeroflove]

No…. Just totally normal stuff

[Degenerate]

no.. You're cosplaying a character, not a child

[JustinTheGreat]

But the character is a child lol

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, it can be creepy.
