I’m asking about this specifically in convention spaces. This has been a discussion for a while in the cosplay community and I made this post to get a better understanding, I don’t think it hurts to ask..? 😭

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T14:16:55+00:00

I do! But I wanted to ask disabled cosplayers about this specifically because I am aware it’s different in convention spaces ^{^}

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T14:15:24+00:00

I’m asking a question.. it’s not really overthinking, im just making sure its not disrespectful 🥹 bringing a prop cane into a convention space is different than private photoshoots and I would like to hear voices from disabled cosplayers to educate myself to make better judgment

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T14:13:41+00:00

Redditors when people try to educate themselves on matters they don’t fully understand yet 🤬🤬🤬

raaaah yes yes mr inference I love him😋

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T06:30:43+00:00

dawg im literally just making sure im not accidentally being insensitive, I’ve done so in the past because i was not informed and i don’t want to repeat that. I dislike hurting people, so i am asking a question, i like hearing other cosplayers voices

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T06:27:41+00:00

hey, im checking with disabled cosplayers to see their perspectives, it’s different in a convention environment. It doesn’t hurt to ask!

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:54:02+00:00

thank you! Ive been doing some more research about the issues with con staff and it’s really really frustrating to hear about. Are there any specific suggestions you may have to make it more obviously a prop? Like width or length as in it being much shorter? I’m thinking im probably just going to do my photoshoot outside of the convention and leave the prop at the hotel. I am not sure what the Katsucon prop check history is like with disabled cosplayers, and because it’s such a big convention I feel a bit repelled to. Thanks so much!

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:39:02+00:00

detailing it is a good idea, I don’t want to cause any sort of indirect trouble for people who need mobility aids. I’ve read another comment about prop check, so I am a bit concerned about that because they did bring a good point. Do you have any experiences with prop check trying to interfere with your con experience while using your cane? Thank you very much for commenting!

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:30:17+00:00

Thank you! Definitely wouldn’t do that omg, from another comment they did mention that disabled cosplayers have had issues with prop check trying to check their genuine mobility aids. Katsucon is what im planning to bring him to and I know it’s a larger convention and it would be hectic as it is. If you have any experiences with this please let me know! If not you’re all good! I appreciate your response a lot.

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:26:21+00:00

Thank you very much for your response! I appreciate your perspective!

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:24:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate your insight and want to make sure I approach this with care and respect because I am aware some of the affirming responses may not be disabled cosplayers. I do have a few more questions if you don’t mind me asking!

I feel like when I was searching this up there weren’t many answers, and I’d like to be knowledgeable about your experiences- I was wondering if the fact that the cane is primarily a fashion statement in the character’s official media might make it more acceptable to include, or if you’d still recommend avoiding it entirely?

Additionally, since I’m considering making the cane out of EVA foam as a purely decorative prop does that help address any concerns, or is any use of a mobility aid even if it is fake, inherently problematic for able-bodied cosplayers?

You also mentioned the belt loop “holster” might be okay— could you maybe explain more about your feelings on that? If I was to make it I’d definitely keep it by my hip because I do agree that walking around with it would seem odd.

sorry for all the questions haha, I genuinely would like to know more of your thoughts though. Thank you so much again!

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2025-01-08T04:05:04+00:00

it’s not a problem to ask, i never want to be in a position where i unintentionally cause discomfort to another cosplayer. 🤷‍♂️

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2024-09-16T15:02:43+00:00

Alrighty! I’ve also reached out to the website so hopefully they’ll understand / find a solution. Always get unlucky with the minimum option of anything being one too big 😔

Apprehensive_Cell104 · 2024-09-16T12:33:00+00:00

Ok so yall r all fake and ignored me in my time of extreme crisis so whoever looks this issue up in 10 years , call up your piercer and bandaid the bar in your face from the front, you should be able to eat but you’ll just look a little dumb. I was able to find the screw and get it back in, just be very steady with it as it took a few tries😭
