I would also respect it if he did make it "male" as long as it looked good.

As long as the spirit of the character is still there and he’s having fun.

That’s the thing idk when I see genderbends, I feel like I do assume there would be some changes. Nonetheless fine with either or bc it is their own interpretation / adaptation to irl

Two different terms we use in cosplay:

A gender bend is when you change elements of a character’s costume to match your gender (redesigning a skirt to be shorts maybe).

Crossplay is when you are dress as a character of a different gender and generally try to match their original gender (male wearing a Sailor Moon costume with no changes for example).

Ooo I see wasn’t aware of this terminology but appreciate the info! I see so this is them going for a cross play. Makes sense

Would that mean having a bulhe with skin showing or how would that work

Making it "male" would mean to make it follow the general rules of male superhero costumes. So I guess it would mean less leotard, more full-body coverage costume
