PauseGeek.com is making an appeal for witnesses about cosplay and, more precisely, body shaming

Cosplay is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating arts in Geek culture. Wearing an armor, a costume or even some classic clothes and being, for one day or even a week-end, our favorite characters is a true joy, and, usually, something we can easily share, as cosplay often goes with meetings and conviviality.

But unfortunately, this art is, more and more, overrunned by a bad behavior from our society : body shaming. During cons, we often hear and see more and more people criticizing other cosplayers because they "don't exactly fit with the character they're cosplaying." Their face, their body, or even their costume. Everything becomes a reason to judge and make fun of others, while cosplay is, and should only be about having fun.

So our team would like to talk about this behavior, and what is at steak when you judge somebody for their body while they're just cosplaying. And we need you to write an article about it ! So if you have already seen or heard body shaming during cons, or if you simply want to give us your point of view about it, just write us an email at this address : camille@pausegeek.fr

Just remember to put "Article : cosplay" in the object line, and tell us if you allow us to write your name in our article, or if you'd prefer a pseudo.
