I will be honest and say that I don`t understand why people think that they can dress like that in Japan when they don`t have the courage to do so at home. People will look at you and think you`re just as weird here... Probably even more so, as you`re not even Japanese.

I 100% agree! They only reason that the people in Japan are dressing the way they want is because they have enough confidence to do so. If you want to wear a costume all the time in America, you can. No one will stop you. It's the same in Japan but in Japan when the people stare because of the costume, the people wearing the costume strike a pose. They don't get all flustered and change.
And though there are some cultural differences, mocking is the same in every language. If you can stand it, do it. If you can't, then don't blame it on your country.
