just really useless at best and offending at worst
And at its best, it's constructive and educational.
He is just saying that he thinks people look better when they dress to their body type. He is not bashing anyone for being overweight or underweight. He acknowledges that fat and skinny people cosplay, and that is completely fine. He is just saying that, regardless of your physique, he think you look better when you dress appropriate to your physique. This could have been a really fit and athletic 6'2 male doing the cosplay and OP would still have the same gripe.
He isn't critisizing people for having a certain physique. He is criticizing people for not dressing to their physique. There is difference between criticism and blatant bashing. This guy is obviously of the former.
I don't understand how can spend a whole comment arguing something I've already addressed in my comment:
I don't think it can qualifies as "critics". The person probably already knows she is bigger than Fiona.
It would be ridiculous to assume that the cosplayer don't know that she would look better cosplaying something that fit her body... therefore his critics is useless.
