Not less than a week ago, the picture on the left popped onto my dash with a bunch of notes that read “Haha YES!” “Omg my future husband”

Just now, the picture on the right appeared with a few comments about how stupid this armor was, how her stomach was exposed and how pink would be a horrible color to go into battle with.

You know what? BOTH ARE AMAZING EXAMPLES OF HALO COSPLAY AND NEITHER IS STUPID. BOTH HAVE THEIR MIDDLES EXPOSED, and so what? Why does the girl get hate notes about how “unrealistic” her costume is and the guy gets only praise?

Please. Stop. This. Costumes can be sexy for BOTH sexes and be acceptable. Cosplay is fluid and open to a lot of stuff, and bashing down on ANYONE for “sexing up” their costume is crude, horrible, and sexist.

My praise to both of these people, showing their love for HALO in a creative way.
