-if you’re cis, don’t cosplay Stevonnie. They are nonbinary, so cis people hands off.
-if you’re skinny, don’t cosplay Rose or Amethyst. They are both fat characters and good, non-ridiculing representation is hard to find.
-if you’re afab, don’t cosplay Jasper. She is coded as amab trans, just leave her alone please.
-above all, do not hypersexualise whatever character you play. Doing so alienates the younger fanbase that SU is actually meant for. Keep your Steven Galaxy shit out of the public sector.

There are others (concerning Garnet, Pearl and other racially coded characters) but that is not my place to speak on. Others may add to the list to fill these in.

I don’t know if you’re serious or not, but cosplayers don’t listen to this shit.

Cosplay who you want regardless of what they represent, guess what: characters aren’t exclusive. Go all out, have fun, be proud of your work and make your love for your favourites characters come through in extraordinary ways. Now be respectful of course, if you’re cosplaying anything reall keep in mind any offensive practices you can do in regards of that character’s status, and anyone else’s really. But be free to develop your wildest cosplaying dreams, as long as you’re mindfull of what you’re doing you’re alright.

Again, characters aren’t exclusive, definetly not these especific characters from such an amazing show, spread the love, share your likes, don’t be restraint because a character is not similar to you in a certain way. What kinda toxic shit is this really?

I cannot believe I read this post with my own eyes. So I can’t cosplay Pearl cuz I’m a boy and chubby? This just in: you can’t cosplay Garnet unless you have perfect hips and an afro that just won’t stop. Is that really the message you want to send? I usually don’t reblog stuff like this but garbage like this makes me so mad.

All of SU’s characters are wonderful and for some reason OP wants to lock them behind arbitrary restrictions so that they can be “PC” but the truth of the matter is these characters are for everyone. You’re gonna tell me that you’ll walk up to a someone cosplaying Jasper and say they can’t be their favorite character because of YOUR bullshit? Disgusting. And on top of that you can’t tell someone’s deal just by looking at them so your (completely physical appearance based) rules are not only extremely hypocritical but also very judgemental and stupid.

You should cosplay whoever you want, and love whatever character you want. Don’t let garbage like this keep you from cosplaying Garnet or Pearl or Rose just because you don’t have their body type.

Don’t cosplay any gems if you’re human…

No cosplay ever. Only people who can look like someone is that person and jamie.
