>>10864707This is true and I'm going to take this a step further: very few people like masculinity at these conventions at all unless you are very, very attractive and are playing some sort of shirtless SERIOUS character or one who shows off physique in some form.
I have cosplayed as both men and women. I am a guy but I look very feminine. Feminine enough that when put next to other crossplayers I look more like a woman than them, but when put next to women I look like a guy in a dress. I also do cosplay as bishonen and similar characters. I get WAY more attention from both guys and girls when crossplaying than when looking like a prettyboy. I get none looking like a bishonen. At the same con I often bring two outfits and wear both on different days, getting a shitload of attention as a girl and none as a guy, even if a feminine guy.
Masculinity in general is not cared about at all and is often looked down upon when it comes to fashion and showing off situations. This goes for cons, this goes for real life.
