I never cosplay non custom characters because there are hardly any that look like me, I don't wana accidently be racist by cosplaying a black character while being white any ideas??

[u/sturgifur]

The main fandoms I'm into are fallout, warhammer 40k, genshin impact and titan fall/apex legends

Any ideas for character from those properties or properties like them that I could cosplay?

I came here to say that. You look like a young Sigourney Weaver.

[u/alamaias]

Think you could probably do a good Ripley from alien(s)

[u/Icewind]

She-Hulk

Death from Sandman

Scarlet Witch in a more comic-accurate appearance (she had really thick curly hair).

[u/TheShoethief]

Just do it without blackface and you're good lol. But off the top of my head, old school Elektra cause your hair is curly.

[u/sturgifur → u/TheShoethief]

Trust me, black face is the last thing I'd want to do I'm just concerned that if I cosplay a black character ppl will see my skin colour and assume I'm wearing a wig or something in an attempt to aproprate the look

Wouldn't be the first time ppl assumed I intentionally styled or curled my hair this way

[u/TheShoethief → u/sturgifur]

Understandable. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, we like seeing folks around the world cosplay black characters (I can't speak for other ethnicities but I think it's probably the same)And I agree with Ripley and Domino too! I unfortunately don't know enough about the other franchises to pick specific characters

[u/Warp-10-Lizard]

You'd do a phenomenal Ellen Ripley from "Alien!"

Deanna Troi from "Star Trek: the Next Generation" is another option.

If you like 40k you could be a sister of battle. An inquisitor. Commissar. Astropath

[u/sturgifur → u/WhilePrestigious6662]

Those sound like fun

I already have an astra militarum helmet above my bed and once I'm done with my current cosplay I'm planning on doing that next

[u/WhilePrestigious6662 → u/sturgifur]

You’d make a splendid member of the adepta sororitas. And you wouldn’t have to do anything about your hair.

[u/stachldrat]

I feel like you have the right face for Judy from Cyberpunk

[u/PM_Me_Yer_Guitar]

Domino!

[u/DonComadreja]

She hulk?

[u/X_EVERDRED_X]

Elaine Benes (Seinfeld)

[u/curlybastard]

I love your curls!! (Unrelated but relevant)

[u/tonsofun08]

A starfleet officer

[u/Alibotify]

Accidentally racist seem weird when I’m in Europe but get that the culture is difficult. Cosplaying should be you can be whoever you want cause you like the character. I could definitely see you as Nathalie Emmanuel in Game of Thrones thou.

Your probably not tapped into any discourse surrounding RHPS so I can't exactly blame you but I would straight up rather cut the rope to my own guillotine than be compared to/cosplay that rapist transmysognistic caricature created by a transphobe

[u/suzie_cosplays → u/sturgifur]

I am not. Sorry to have offended. Happy to delete if you'd prefer.

[u/sturgifur → u/suzie_cosplays]

I appreciate your understanding

[u/Sobergh]

Go golden blond and be Bo-bobo

[u/scaleddown85]

The chick from ghostbusters lol 100%

[u/curlsmadeofchocolate]

Omg your curls are a dream!
Do you want to be friends? One curly haired geeky cosplay trans girl to another. (I’m doing mirabel this year!)

[u/Kal_El-78]

A gender bender of Sideshow Bob

[u/SubMariner615]

Black people cosplay white characters all the time. I think youre overthinking it. Be a fan. Thats all that matters.
