Brazilian model and cosplayer Kine-Chan dressed up as Rebecca, a character from the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022), wearing a black bikini, a blue wig, and black sandals to attend an event. Afterward, she headed to Navegantes Airport in Brazil to catch a flight. According to her, airline staff denied herĀ boardingĀ due to what they deemed āinappropriateā attire.
Kine-Chan shared the incident on Instagram, where she detailed the situation and her reasoning for wearing theĀ costume. āA very annoying situation happened this weekend,ā she wrote. āI tried to board at Navegantes Airport dressed in Rebeccaās cosplay for an event. I already knew I might be running late, so I wore the costume to save time and head straight to my room. But I was told to go home and change because what I had on was not considered āappropriateā.ā
Her post quickly attracted mixed reactions in the comments. Some users felt the outfit was too revealing forĀ airportĀ travel. One follower commented, āKine, I love you, but you couldāve worn something easy to slip onālike a wrap dress or even a button-down shirt.ā
Others defended her right to express herself through cosplay. āItās truly disappointing the airport barred you, a talented artist, over a cosplay as incredible as Rebeccaās,ā another fan wrote. āFreedom of expression and creativity should be respected.ā
