if I keep seeing people say someone has the wrong body type to be a mandalorian, or is too old/young, whatever reason, I am going to throw hands.

Setting aside for a moment how gross it is to body shame cosplayers, they’re also incorrect.

idk how many times I’ve seen mando cosplayers be fat shamed, or say themselves that they’re “to fat to be a mando” and I hate it for so many reasons. You don’t have to be skinny to be a fighter. You don’t have to be skinny to be physically strong, or even healthy. That looks different for everyone.

As for disability, there are gonna be disabled mandalorians. Fighting that much will lead to injuries, and even for naturally occurring disability I cannot imagine a group of people that cares that much about family and community not caring for disabled members. This goes for both physical and mental disability.

they also wouldn’t kick someone out for being old.

Mandalorians by all appearances of their culture should be incredibly diverse and varied in appearance and Disney being too cowardly to portray them like that should not be pushed onto cosplayers.

This is not to say you can’t cosplay characters who you are physically different from, what it is to say is that if you’re thinking oh this custom mando will always be inaccurate because I’m _____ then you’re wrong.
