A Last of Us 2 Ellie Cosplay
A Last of Us 2 Ellie Cosplay is shared to the Naughty Dog PS4 community subreddit, with the user expressing pride at making everything by hand. The cosplay post is allowed, but one user questions whether the cosplayer is “too fat” to cosplay, sparking an argument about toxic behaviour in the gaming community. The user responds positively to the supportive comments, thanking people for their kindness and expressing disappointment in the hostile comments.
“I made this cosplay for myself because I wanted to cosplay Ellie,” the user writes. “I’m so proud of how it turned out so I thought I’d share it with the Naughty Dog community. I made everything on this by hand.” The post is met with both positive and negative comments, with some being removed by the moderators of the subreddit.
“This is a cosplay post so it’s allowed,” one user writes. “But this person is pretty fat, I’m just trying to be helpful.” Another user responds, “This person is not too fat to cosplay, I mean, this is a cosplay thread, of course there’s going to be people who cosplay as characters that aren’t exactly what they look like in the game.”
The first user replies, “Cosplay is about making stuff but it’s also about portraying the character accurately.” The second user responds, “It’s not about portraying the character accurately, it’s about the effort put into the cosplay.”
