With Halloween coming up, I've gotten several questions about whether I'm okay with cis people dressing up as me/Contra characters. Here's my official take on that, a thread:

So cis guys putting on a dress and lipstick and being like "lol, I'm ContraPoints"—I'd prefer it if you would nooooot do thaaaaaaat.

But if you want to dress up as any of my characters I'm completely fine with it, no matter your gender id. (Yes that includes the pink wig/lab coat look, which is not, believe it or not, how I actually dress off camera.)

This isn't even slightly problematic as I see it. You're not dressing up as me, you're dressing up as a character I invented.

Honestly I find it really adorable and flattering that people are even thinking of doing costumes based on me, a pretty obscure YouTuber.

So in short, go nuts with it, as long as 1. the joke/point of the costume isn't "lol I'm wearing a dress I'm trans lol" and 2. you send me pictures so I can favorite and retweet them.

Also, use common sense. It's not a good idea to dress up as Fritz because out of context that could be pretty threatening to people who aren't in on the joke.

Lab coat not part of daily wear? The magic is ruined.
