A woman, Kine-Chan, argued that airport staff stopped her from flying due to her revealing outfit. She’s a 21-year-old, cosplayer, model, and influencer on OnlyFans. She was stopped at Navegantes Airport in Brazil and blocked from boarding because her black two-piece outfit, resembling a bikini, was considered too skimpy.
Kine-Chan was dressed as Rebecca from Netflix’s anime “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.” She shared the incident on her Instagram account @kinechan2.0, where she has 600,000 followers. “Xuxus, a very annoying situation happened this weekend! I tried to board at Navegantes airport dressed as Rebecca’s Cosplay for an event. I already knew that I could be late, so I was dressed so as not to waste time and could go straight to my room,” she wrote.
Continuing, the cosplayer ranted about the incident and followers responded
“But I was told to go home and change clothes because the one I was wearing was not ‘appropriate.’ I explained that I was going to an event. Anyway, Rebecca barred lol,” she concluded. Many of the influencer’s followers voiced their opinion that she should have dressed more modestly before boarding the plane.
“Glad it was blocked right angel let’s respect other people, warning, this is not a place to wear lingerie or bikini,” one said. “Kine I love you but for the love of God… you could have put on an easy pull-up outfit, like a falling dress or even a button-down blouse,” another commented. “I love your job but that’s kind of obvious, I don’t consider bikini pornography but on a plane, I think it’s inappropriate,” said a third.
Others supported the cosplayer
“It’s really disappointing to see that Camboriú Spa Airport has blocked you, a talented artist, for such an amazing cosplay by Rebecca. Freedom of expression and creativity should always be encouraged and respected. I hope situations like this can be avoided in the future. Keep shining with your art and cosplay,” one person said.
This incident isn’t isolated, as airports have faced attire-related controversies before. Two women who donned crop tops with long skirts and pants recounted an episode with American Airlines, where they were asked to change due to the perceived revealing nature of their outfits. However, the outcome took an unexpected turn when they switched into shorts, inadvertently revealing even more skin.
“Omfg an @AmericanAir employee forced me and @keanuCthompson to change our pants before getting on the flight which actually turned out to be MORE REVEALING THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT A REWARDS MEMBER,” passenger Chrissie Mayr tweeted.
American Airlines did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. On its website, the airline advises passengers to dress suitably, explicitly saying that bare feet and offensive clothing are not allowed. However, the airline doesn’t elaborate on what exactly constitutes “offensive clothing.” In response to the unfolding situation, American Airlines’ social media account engaged with the thread initiated by Mayr, stating, “Your comments concern us. Please join us in DMs, we’re here and ready to listen.”
