Crona cosplay: Doing it a little too right

That looks painful.

[Firewind]

I'm not sure if that's a guy, a girl or if I would even ask that question...

[cidbahamut]

I think that person might need medical assistance.

Female. Check the hips.

It is my understanding that the following two cosplays are traps:





Until I see genitals, I withhold judgement.

[Fliegar]

I'm not sure why, but for some reason I think this is a painting or drawing.

[Malacite]

2nd one is definitely a trap.

Like Mezlo said, check the hips. You can clearly tell the shoulders are wider than the hips - can't really hide that as a guy.

It is my understanding that the following two cosplays are traps:

1st one I could easily believe is a guy. 2nd one obviously is.

Crona was an androgynous character whose gender was never mentioned in the Japanese, so that works. He was assigned male pronouns in translations for linguistic convenience.

If that's shopped or a painting the artist did an awesome job. I could also believe that's just a very flexible person, though. Center of gravity looks right and the position looks uncomfortable but not impossible.

[Firewind]

They are both traps purely by looking at the faces. Women's faces tend to be more round (especially in the jawline) than in those two pictures. Plus the whole thing just screams "babyfaced guy"

Also you can see the second one's whole body shape which is definitely masculine. The picture in the original post does a better job of hiding the body shape which is why I'm still not 100% sure due to the picture being a profile shot.

That said I probably wouldn't just ask questions and tap all three, dealing with the inevitable complications later on.

lol. The pink-haired one is cute, one way or another. Ironically I probably wouldn't think so if I was actually into men. What character is that, btw? I've been trying to figure it out for like half an hour.

I think they are all humans and should treated as such. Some people cosplay and some people even crossplay. In this case, its all in good fun - so what the fuck does physical sex matter?

Calling some of them "traps" seems to be a form of self-flattery, as if .2% of the North American transgender population dresses like they do to seek you out and fool you into fucking them. It's certainly not what I'd call a term of endearment - unless everyone hit their heads and "nigger," "bitch" and "faggot" suddenly became acceptable, too.

Think about it, Mal. If I can be this liberal, what the hell is your problem? Bigoted word is bigoted - stop using it.

As for Melody's comment, apparently some people don't know know clothing and make-up can accentuate features one might not have. Plenty of women don't have wide hips, so they may wear things to make them appear that they do. You don't see anyone going on about Salma Hayek's prominent brow ridge and low eyebrows and there's a reason we ignore that rather masculine trait she has, along with Keira Knightly's wide jaw and huge underbite, Tina Fey's thin lips or Hope Solo's wide shoulders.

Salma uses her curves and lips ot draw attention away from the eyes.
Keira and Tina emphasize their eyes to draw attention away from the lips.
Hope Solo has mid-lenth hair and favors v-necks to pull attention away from the width of her shoulders

Theater 101, folks. If women have these tools at their disposal, some guys can probably get away with them, too.

Humans come in all shapes and sizes. If you're concerned with what defines a man or woman physically, its little wonder so many women have body issues and that .2% of a population sees so much violence against them.

Now stop saying dumb things or I start posting pics of Man Faye.

um... Ok Malady.

[Melody]

I meant no harm in my answer. I was going by what I saw. I mentioned nothing of a trap or the sorts. So please don't drag me into this now obvious arguement that is going to spread like wild fire. Waiting on Ygg to step in and be the word of reason. I do believe this thread was supposed to be taken as a light humor but got out of hand. Just my shot in the dark there.

[Malacite]

Wait, wtf did I do now? I was just pointing out that it's clearly a guy. WTF do I care if someone wants to dress up in drag? Not my thing but hey...

Men's shoulders are wider than our hips, whereas women's are the same length - just line them up simple as that, geez. Ppl need to calm down o. O
