Cosplay is yet another artform one can express their culture. I did this a with my Bishop cosplay by incorporating the colours of the flag through it.
But in the cosplay community there is now a conversation about cultural appropriation, colourism & racism....

@CosplayOfColor
As an Indigenous cosplayer, this is magnified as many cosplayers feel it is ok to use very symbolic cultural items as simple decorative accessories for their costume.
However, if the cosplayer respectfully explains their reasons for incorporating this...
Incorporating items, which aren't sacred in any way, but some SMALL symbol of respect for my culture. It does influence my view.
Note: i say SMALL, because the MY CULTURE IS NOT YOUR COSPLAY arguement ALWAYS applies!
