Cosplayers hit out at Raid: Shadow Legends for allegedly stealing look Instagram: Miss Sinister\/Raid: Shadow LegendsA cosplayer has hit out at Raid: Shadow Legends for seemingly copying her look for one of their characters in-game, and the community has backed their claim. Typically, cosplayers will either dress up and make themselves look like their favorite character from a TV show, movie, or video game, but some do break the mold and come up with their own unique looks. These cosplays can garner huge amounts of attention with likes and positive replies pouring in across social media, with actors, game devs, and directors sometimes even chiming in compliments over their own. However, it\u2019s been alleged that one set of devs \u2013 the team behind mobile game Raid: Shadow Legends \u2013 may have overstepped the mark and flat out copied one cosplay, much to the dismay of cosplayers Miss Sinister and Alkali Layke. The issue was initially flagged by Miss Sinister, who posted memes about the Raid: Shadow Legends devs copying her on her Instagram page. The cosplayer\u2019s posts also made their way to Twitter, as fellow cosplayer Alkali Layke backed up the copying claims. \u201cYou know what\u2019s gross? @RaidRPG straight up COPYING @MISS_SlNlSTER and getting away with it. Their artist just traced her face you guys. No, I will not be playing that game. You shouldn\u2019t either,\u201d she tweeted. Alkali also implored her friends to not take any further sponsorships with the mobile game, if they\u2019re offered. \u201cThis is just absolute garbage and I hope you\u2019d reconsider working with them in the future,\u201d she added.

You should also RT this. pic.twitter.com\/uiu8jtY6wE \u2014 Alkali (@alkali_layke) October 29, 2020 Some responses claimed that they couldn\u2019t spot similarities, however, Miss Sinister pointed out that they\u2019d pretty much just traced one of the photos she posted. \u201cI mean, this seems pretty damning. They flipped my face horizontally. They copied me down to my earrings in the photo of the costume,\u201d she said, also showing how similar the photos are with measurements between some of her facial features.

However, it could be a case where the cosplayers take it a step further than just calling them out on social media.
