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:

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.

This is a helpful distinction. I'd advise NO ONE dress as Fritz, tho...

Sometimes I'd advise not even YOU dress as Fritz but it's your hill, etc.
