harriyanna hook posted this important PSA about how cosplaying while black should not be an issue. Cosplay and fandom is for everyone. Black people are allowed to have fun just like everyone else. Here’s what she had to say about it:
“I have gotten some pretty mean backslash from my cosplays and you know what? I not apologizing at all, I and many other black cosplayers are not wrong for wanting to not limiting ourselves to cosplaying black characters only. We have nothing to be sorry about. Fandom racism is beyond just black people getting $hit for cosplaying. People getting upset with black cosplayers really highlight the issues within fandom. People have a problem with everyone a black person does and feel do what they can to belittle them.”
