Sabrina Poll

I thought that it might be amusing to attach a poll to this thread. Now you can vote if you think that the cosplayer is a guy or a girl!


And just for the record, girls need tissues to wipe their noses also.

Ok Obviously he/she is wearing a body suit. I voted that it is a woman. The reason I believe this is if you look at her shoulders and her arms they are feminine. By that I mean the size comparison between the two and the softness of her shoulders. Men don't usually have that soft rounded look and her forearms and wrists are dainty. I do not think a body suit no matter how good can add that femininity to their body shape. These are just my thoughts.

Well, after a lot of research on the subject of Sabrina's true gender, I've come across some rather startling evidence. Let us take a look at exhibit A:

Spoiler for exhibit A:


Rather impressive evidence, isn't it? Well, the true shocker has yet to come. All one needs to do is take a single glance at the next picture to find out what could possibly be the truth! Don't take my word for it; just look at exhibit B!

Spoiler for exhibit B:


Surely there is an explanation... right?

It can't be to match the color of the mask, because as can be seen from the pic hobbsy posted, it doesn't match the color of the mask -__-
Plus, The hips do look slightly girly, but not unusually like a guy's, and it is possible for a male to move femininely if he wants to.

Don't let SABRINA fool you
You should do a google on kigurumi, they wear a full body suit cause its just how they try to achieve the look, I suppose.

Any male (especially Asian) can have body like that. I should know because I have a body quite similar- SHIT *run away*

Anyway the point is Asia kids, unlike their American counterpart, don't play football or basketball all day. Therefore they have much a more linear body outline than western kids.

Also notice the rip-cage of the abdominal area. No girl I know (except ones on serious diet) has rip case as expose as that.
Of course it could also be six packs. But even if one of the hypothesis is correct, I don't ever want to meet him even if he is a girl (ripcage vs sixpack on a girl...) .

Go online and find those Thai woman picture, heaven forbid. I seen some of them and I must say, it gives me nightmare just by looking at that...thing.


The joy of doing such a hideous thing is to make people guess: Is it a dude or a chick?

I agree, in fact I pointed that out in the first page of this thread. It does have girly hips. But so what? It also has a manly abdomen, that doesn't prove anything. There are girls that are flat chested, and there are guys that have wider hips. I don't think that this creature has a "female figure"; it only has female-looking legs/hips (and also a manly chest area).

I'm not going to research this on google, all the information I need has already been given to explain the body suit tradition: the majority of people who do kigurumi are males. This particular one might not be, and you're right in that this fact that it uses a body suit doesn't necessarily prove its gender. And yes, it is how they try to achieve the look; the majority, who are males, surely would not succeed in achieving the look with rough skin and body hair

I'm impressed...The ambiguity built into this creature's gender sure is masterful.

Heh, that is so true. My brother is a perfect example except for his face which looks any but girly.

I must vote girl to support the minority, but the kleenex point to male 100%...

not to mention if you check out the screen there is a line moving up/down it. only a man would be too lazy to fix that.

I can't figure out what does kleenex have to do with being male?

I'm awfully confused here. Don't you people just use tolit paper as your tissue?

I *know* what the people in this thread (along with the good people who do anime for a living) are trying to imply. But as a male living with a bunch of females, I must say I am not impressed. The authors/producers in this industry probably don't have any sister.

Girls, like guys, also need tissue. No, not for sexual purpose, but for the fact that

1. girls do catch cold like guys
2. girls do eat in front of their computer for convenient

If you can't ever figure out why guys are suppose to need tissue with them, think sexual activity..with only one person.

the person would conceal themselves even if they are a girl so that people wouldn't know their true identity. It's probably a fetish, and they would be humiliated if people they knew found out. While I agree that males can move femininly if they want to, that just looks too natural to be male. Also, perhaps your the one being fooled?

You fail to notice the fact that I already admitted the possibility of this being a girl, after stating what you quoted. Girls might conceal themselves as well for the sake of consistency, since the majority who are male, do so, surely at least partially to conceal their gender. So the logic still applies to most kugurumi people in general, if not for this one case in particular.

Whatever it is, it's somewhat creepy. Just took on a pair of blue shorts or something to wear under the skirt.

I've heard there are cosplay porn that use these masks as well, pretty creepy actually :P

Come on, girls almost always have tissues nearby. Any place I've ever worked, the only place to find a tissue is in a woman's office or cubicle.

The lines on the monitor are a result of the video camera. The person sitting there can't see them. You've never seen a video footage of a monitor? They fake the images on TV specifically for that reason. Watch a commercial selling computers or something. There is usually a disclaimer saying that the images are simulated. In the US, anyway, I don't know where you are.


This person is damn skinny. Hell yes you'd see ribs. The lines in boneyjellyfish's pic look more like the edges of the body suit parts. It looks like they are wearing seperate bottoms and a top.

I vote girl.
