Okay sorry if this is an insane request. But does anyone have any actual sources for if the cosplayer who served as the inspiration for Betsumon ever consented to her likeliness being used for the creation process. I found one blogpost which CLAIMS she was fine with it but there was no source for it attached I saw and I cant seem to find anything on my own just by looking it up

#digimon #betsumon #tailmon betsu #dinu yells into the void #dinu yells in the void #please. help me out with this one chat.#i know this is an insane request because most people dont like betsumon because they think the design is creepy or weird #i actually dont mind betsumon as a digimon purely from a design standpoint my hang up is that like #i feel Bad. over the idea of liking betsumon as a digimon because of the origin and because i have no idea if the cosplayer consented #in my opinion its way more important to me to know if the cosplayer agreed to having a joke digimon created based off her #its an entirely different situation if betsumon was created essentially as a mockery of a cosplayer who was just doing her job #and having fun #especially because in the original betsumon design it could be read as extremely transmisogynistic as well #sorry again i know literally no one else on planet earth cares about this BUT I DO!!!!!!!#ive never been able to personally reconcile like. Enjoying designs that are meant to be meanspirited mockeries #of whatever thing person etc. like it makes Me specifically feel bad #and again I think it’s more important to examine the origins of a design like this and Why it is the way it is. then just blanket #‘oh well its ugly to me so its bad and evil and gross’. do i make sense does any of this make sense.#fuckkkkkk i should go get dinner this just kept me up all night thinking about it #like obviously if the cosplayer was fine with it and she was like finding it funny or charming then my hang up is gone #because like Shes the main person affected in all of this. hence why i wanna know. you know?
