This week's poll was a suggestion from our member butako chan. Would you cosplay as a character from the opposite gender? Perhaps you already have. Or maybe you'll never cosplay at all... (I personally fall in this latter camp). But ya, poll away!
You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)

I already do cosplay, but the only time I've crossplayed was when I was Charles Grey from Kuroshitsuji. xD

I would, if I did cosplay. Costs too much money and time atm 😔

If I did cosplay, I'd probably only cosplay as the opposite gender... I don't have too many favorite female characters, and the ones that do are either "ordinary people" or crossdress in the manga. xD
I don't think I'd mind cosplaying a male character if I did actually cosplay. I don't have the time or effort to make costumes though. I'd rather put the money going into a costume towards a figurine or something too.

Well I've never cosplayed but if I did I could see myself crossplaying at least once. I like cute outfits so I'd have a lot of good choices to pick from. Besides my legs are nice enough to look good in a skirt so it'd be a shame if I didn't show them off at least once. 🤣

I think an extremely important part - gender of the one answering - is missing from the poll.
Please change it so that the options are differentiated on that basis, too.
No, never the opposite gender if the character isn't cool and is just cute, kuh??
Should you even ask?? Lol
But I wanna do something like Vincent Valentine....
Where's the 'It depends on the Character' option....

My answer was missing - "I wouldn't if I did cosplay." I don't cosplay right now, but I plan to sometime, and I would not cosplay of the opposite gender. It just doesn't appeal to me. The closest I might get to that would be a crossdressing female character.
I'm struck by how few people say they are cosplaying. The poll is young, and that might change.

That'd be my answer too. I don't cosplay, but if I did (it would be funny), I'd likely still stick to my gender.
Kinda feels like the options here are a little too limited.
If someone gave me the costume, I'll wear it proudly ^^, until then, I probably wont spend any money on costumes especially now when I'm a struggling student :/.

But if it makes you happy to win on the internet, have at it.

Same here—I've thought about cosplaying before, but even then, I can't see myself ever dressing as a male character.

I think it would be interesting to see this too. I feel like girls wouldn't really mind cosplaying as a male, but guys might be more opposed to cosplaying as a female.
Anyway, I would dress as the opposite sex if I did cosplay, but I don't and I don't have any plans to do it in the immediate future. For me, it would be too much effort.
