'Too Fat' to Be Emma Frost: Why Mystic Being refuses to stop cosplaying

Mystic Being, also known as Meagan Starke, has been a plus-size cosplayer since 2021. She enjoys dressing up as her favorite characters from various forms of entertainment, including games, comics, and films. However, her experience has not always been positive. She has faced criticism for being too fat to portray certain characters, including her interpretation of the Marvel Rivals version of Emma Frost.

Despite the negative comments, Mystic Being chooses to focus on the support she receives from others rather than the hateful messages. She has received over 100 comments about her size but remains committed to cosplay. For Mystic Being, cosplay is about having fun and bringing a character to life, not about meeting certain expectations regarding body type or costume perfection.

She encourages people to choose characters they love and to allow themselves to have fun, regardless of their body size, skill level, or creative ability. Mystic Being has portrayed over 100 characters and continues to build her social media presence, creating content related to streaming, anime, Pokémon, and travel. She plans to keep exploring new characters and improving her costume-making skills.

Her journey serves as inspiration for those who may be hesitant to try cosplay, emphasizing that it is open to people of different sizes, backgrounds, and interpretations.
