I personally think all gender flip characters are dumb, in either direction, personally. But here’s the thing; it doesn’t matter what I think. Do whatever the hell you want.
It’s called gender-bending, at least in my local cosplay groups. It’s done frequently and usually turns out great because of the passion and care put into it. Go for it!
This is a subtle question, so feel free to answer “none of the above.”
But in your circles, is this gender bending explicit, as in “I’m a female Wolverine” or is it just someone who’s female going as Wolverine? And in the latter case, I don’t mean that she’s pretending to be a man, just that she’s not changing the character, simply embodying it as, herself, a woman.
It’s just about playing the character as the persons’ own gender identity. Most common, of course, being video game characters as opposite genders. So like, lady master chief or what if zelda was a man, etc. But I’ve seen an androgynous/enby kratos that was super well done! Gender-bent / gender-bending is just the term that has stuck for that.
I’ve also heard it referred to as cross-play, though without the contact of cosplay, can be somewhat confusing.
No
No?
Is it Wonder Man?
I can’t see a problem with fictional characters. It’s when you bring in the real people that the drama starts. Trans JK Rowling, KaMANla Harris, Hillbilly Eilish, and Marjory Taylor Peen all seem like they would raise a few eyebrows.
For the record these would all be hilarious, ESPECIALLY Rowling
Ha, never heard or thought of trans Rowling but if I knew Harry Potter better I’d be damned tempted.
That’s Hannah Potter now.
No
People love the genderbending of characters. Go nuts.
I think as long as you’re not in blackface you can wear whatever the hell you want
I’m pretty sure there are other exceptions
My sexy Adolf Hitler got a great reception tonight.
The Producers?
I feel there’s a potential suicide joke here, but it would probably end up in bad taste.
No
Why would it be? Here is me and my ex on Halloween 2020. I was Lydia, she was Beetlejuice.
You guys both look awesome
These are cute costumes!
No.
No, assuming the gender bend is respectful.
I’m just having a hard time imagining a scenario in which it would be offensive…
Plenty where it would be a little confusing. Sandra Dude O’Connor, or Susan Bro Anthony would take some explaining, at the least.
