For about a week ago i was in a discussion on the internet. The discussion was aboute a caracter called Ebola-chan and we wer discussion if it was ok to cosplay her hor not. i understand that its alot of diffrents thoughts about this topic and I just wanted to tell shortly about my thoughts about it. I will gladly hear your thought about this topic so plz put a coment below. :)
When i went in to this dicussion i didn't know hwo Ebola-chan was. But i googled a bit to find out who this caracter was. It was a little cute girl in a nurse costume holding a skull. This little girl was created at 4chan as a meme... and yhea as the name says she is created to repressent ebola.... one of the worst thing that has come to erth at the moment and has killed alot of people and has started to spread over the world. I se ebola as a verry serious problem and i hope we finde a whay to stop it as soon as possible. Back to ebola-chan.... Im not shure if im ok with making a character out of a illnes cause i have never herad about it befor. But i dont think Ebola should be repressent by a little cute girl. Even if her hair looks like the ebolavirus. But only because of that i dont its a good picture of Ebola. And when the first thing you see if you google "Ebola-Chan" is pictures like this i dont think its ok. The thing you se is a little cute girl painted in diffrent sexay possitions... I don't want to post them here because its nothing that i whant on my blog. But here is two pictures less sexy on Ebola-chan.
How about cosplaying Ebola-chan?
I must say that i was shocked when i find out that people have cosplayed her... and not only one or two.... it was plenty of them! And what shocked me eaven more was that som of them (hopfully not all) was cosplaying her only because she was cute. I could mabey understand if they hade cosplayed her to pay atention to Ebola like Ice bucket challange was to pay atention to ALS. And i still think that the caracterdesign i totaly wrong to reprecent Ebola but now the it is as it is.
To stay shortly i just would like to say about cosplay Ebola-chan. For me it is verry important that everyone should be abel to cosplay who ever they whant. But you also need to know how and why you are doing your cospaly and be reddy to take responsebility for what you doing. You also need to accept that note everyone is gonna like what you are doing and show you respect for it. So if you gonna cosplay Ebola-chan because she i cute... i dont know if i will respect you anny more.... And if you cosplay her for anny other reason.... I dont know how i will react
