Something I Noticed About Anime Conventions

So, there's this one thing that I caught on to at the last convention I went to (about two weeks ago). I was watching a game of Cosplay Chess and noticed that all the Hetalia cosplayers in the game were girls. Thinking back to every anime convention I've been to, I have never seen a male Hetalia cosplayer.

 

I guess more girls are strongly interested in that type of story than boys? Also interesting to try noting other series that you see only one sex cosplaying.

 

I have seen male Hetalia cosplayers before, but they are a rare breed.

 

I've seen a lot of male hetalia cosplayers... at anime boston. At the meets I go to I have never seen a male cosplayer show up. At AB they had a whole panel based on like... "history with a hetalia twist" or something, and all of the guys (except I think the Hong Kong person who was there who I don't believe is a character anyway?) were... guys. The germany was pretty badass.

 

Doesn't. Happen.

I hate you.

 

Hong Kong is an actual character, yes.

 

Interesting, I found there were actually quite a bit of male cosplayers dressing up as Hetalia characters when it first came out years ago. But yeah, now that it's kinda died down, I also find there are mostly girls. Then again, the show is catered towards girls, so, eh.

 

Ive never seen a hetalia cosplayer in my life
