Lol they're just mad they can't pull it off, but people who put effort in can. C9 Sneaky def has some cosplays where people who don't know of him think he's a woman. They wish they could do that.

Ehhh, you need the right genetics + age to pull it off, credit where credit is due, he can pull of some convincingly. And, sadly, genetics + age is exactly where many trans fail.

You're acting like most of them try lol.

Look at how many we see with a beard and badly done makeup. If you put zero effort in then yeah people are gonna notice. Like there is a bare minimum and if some guy wanting to cosplay as a female character does a better job than you? I don't think you're actually trans. At least make a token effort. Get rid of the beard at least lol.

Sure not everyone will pass but you do need a minimum amount of effort no matter what age + genetics.

Good point!

When so many can't even get rid of their neckbeard, yeah no shit no one's going to believe them. I don't think trans even is real, but if a busy cosplayer passes that much more often than you, clearly you're doing something wrong.

Same with hair. Just because you grew your hair out doesn't make you a woman. There's more to it than that. But if the cosplayers can do it, and multiple can, Boxbox is another one iirc. It's not a one off he's just really good at this, they're just actually putting in effort.

But like it amuses me that they can do better than someone who wants to be a woman.
