Spotlight on… Pop culture and video game cosplayer Michael Hamm
One of the topics that is rarely discussed on this hub for LGBT video game content is the sub-culture of cosplaying. This is intriguing to me. When it comes to drag performers, we scream “YAS QWEEN!” to the high heavens, but when it comes to dressing up as video game characters, we seem to show little interest. I want to change this by highlighting some of the best and most talented cosplayers on the internet; especially ones that openly embrace their own queer identity. Let me start with Michael Hamm.
You’ve probably heard of Michael Hamm already because he’s truly one of the most well-known cosplayers out there. He has one of the biggest social media presences within the career, he has an interactive and lucrative Patreon page, and he’s appeared at dozens of comic cons around the world. Throw in interviews and podcasts with numerous queer media sources, and this guy is the hero of cosplay that we need! It also doesn’t hurt, of course, that he’s incredibly easy on the eyes and seems like an overall kind soul.
Here’s some of his best looks from his Instagram featuring characters from video games, superhero movies and general pop culture.
