I think as long as you’re not in blackface you can wear whatever the hell you want
Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'

I’m pretty sure there are other exceptions

People love the genderbending of characters. Go nuts.

With all the Bowsettes last year, I’m tempted to say no in the name of equality.

Oh god was that only last year??

Not sure honestly. It may have been the year before. Or even earlier. Or maybe I’m just slow at noticing popular media trends. As you can see, I’m doing great at growing old.

No, cosplayers do that all the time

Why would it be? Here is me and my ex on Halloween 2020. I was Lydia, she was Beetlejuice.

Go for it! Those offended are not your target audience

It’s called “genderful appropriation”. I just invented it. All the cool people will be getting offended by it really soon.

No, assuming the gender bend is respectful.

I dont think so, nor do I care. Black people dress up as white characters all the time, I consider it the same. Dressing up as a character means that character means something to you, so I dont see where anyone should be offended by it.

Why make it about race?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In case someone reading had a similar question about race. Why do you care, do people of different races bother you?

I can’t see a problem with fictional characters. It’s when you bring in the real people that the drama starts. Trans JK Rowling, KaMANla Harris, Hillbilly Eilish, and Marjory Taylor Peen all seem like they would raise a few eyebrows.
Lauchs@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ha, never heard or thought of trans Rowling but if I knew Harry Potter better I’d be damned tempted.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For the record these would all be hilarious, ESPECIALLY Rowling

I have a question for you that needs answering first. Offensive to whom?
ultrahamster64@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No

Rule of thumb:
I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.
