Not too many "blacks" in most anime/manga series, I've noticed, so probably no matter who I dress up as, I'll get teased no matter what.  I remember one year, me and two friends were planning on dressing up as school girls and treat the convention as a "school festival", but decided against it a few years ago.
That aside, I don't think that people cosplay as much as the OP is proposing and that only a small amount of people do so outside of a convention setting in probably places like Harajuku like once a week or something. |
You don't necessarily have to cosplay as a character that looks exactly like you.
I don't see why you'd be teased.
There's just as many black people dressed up as white characrers as there are white people at the conventions near my house.
My brother does it all the time and no one says anything to him
Hell he even did it with his fro.
Lol.
People loved it.
By " suit" you.
It means find a character that's not going to make you look like shit or a hooker.
Or, modify a character's costume.
This wouldn't had been any less cool,
If she had worn something over her popping out boobs and made the part where the skirt splits,
not at her vagina.
It's really simple the modifications that could be done to some cosplays.
