Thank you for the warning. I think that I will skip the article.
I still have some old Sailor Bubba images buried somewhere deep in the recesses of my memory. Unfortunately they will occasionally, at times like this, come to the surface. Shocked Sad

As a straight male, it's kinda disheartening to see all the ridiculous fear this guy creates not by hoolahooping fire, but by being a male cosplaying a popular female character.
So what? He doesn't turn me on, either. But it's not like it's actually disgusting. It's just a guy in a skirt and sailor outfit. With fire hoolahoops. Doing things you only wish you could do.

Chances are, he's not even doing it because he likes crossdressing, but because he thought it was a funny joke to play with fire while cosplaying Sailor Mars. :/

I concur. All the panic over it is pretty silly.

There is a huge double standard to cross play, girls can cross play all the time but if a guy does it, it better be a trap and of course they are gay.

@ Juno016, zeo1fan, Tanteikingdomkey

I think that you guys are getting a bit carried away and reacting to things that were never said.

In the interest of being well informed I did look at the video in the article, and I really wish that I had not.
I do not want to look at this guy, or Sailor Bubba, or Man Faye because I consider them to be very unattractive. That is all.

Well....to somewhat digress, or at least from the previous comments,

I really do admire the passion of fans. Laughing

So you're not interested in recognizing a person's skill unless you find them physically attractive? This is a guy fire dancing, but since he's wearing a skirt and you don't find him physically appealing, that's an issue for you?

Really?

This guy needs to be put into a straitjacket. He's not anime, he's looney tunes.

It would be nice if there were more working FEMALE fire dancers (at Hawaiian resorts, etc.), who were Moon fans enough to keep the focus on the Mars ref.
As it is, Moon crossplay is just.......so 90's. Rolling Eyes Like, "when the show was still on US TV" 90's.
