Cosplay controversy at Navegantes airport
At Navegantes Airport, Kine-Chan was seen wearing a black bikini, turquoise wig, and black sandals.
Her outfit was designed to emulate Rebecca’s distinctive and provocative look.
Additionally, she claims that airport staff informed her that her attire was deemed inappropriate.
This issue led to her being denied boarding.
Kine-Chan then breaks slinece the incident
On Instagram, Kine-Chan shared her frustration with her 612,000 followers.
Then, she recounted the ordeal: “Xuxus, a very annoying situation happened this weekend! I tried to board at Navegantes Airport dressed as Rebecca’s Cosplay for an event. I already knew that I could be late, so I dressed to avoid wasting time and go straight to my room. But I was told to go home and change clothes because the one I was wearing was not ‘appropriate.’ I explained that I was going to an event. Anyway, Rebecca barred lol.”
Her post quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media.
The reaction to Kine-Chan’s airport cosplay has been mixed. However, some fans have defended her, while others argue that she should have chosen a more suitable outfit for travel.
While, comments on her Instagram post reveal a spectrum of opinion.
One person said: Maybe wear some clothes next time instead of looking like a stripper at a airport
A second wrote: Very wrong. She should respect different cultures and standards ESPECIALLY when travelling.
While a third commented: Yep, 100% wrong, it’s called standards dear. Look it up, if you don’t know what it means.
Another added: She’s soooo genuine!!! Genuinely HIDEOUS!!!
Someone else said: I certainly wouldn’t want her sitting next to me. Just looking at her is bad enough.
Navegantes Airport has yet to provide an official comment on the incident.
After the incident, travelers are advised to adhere to airport dress codes.
While cosplay and unique outfits are celebrated in many contexts, it is crucial to consider the setting and requirements of air travel.
Wearing additional clothing over a cosplay outfit can prevent similar issues. Alternatively, opting for more conventional attire during travel may help avoid such problems.
