At times, individuals face the inconvenience of being denied boarding due to non-compliance with airline rules. In a recent incident, a young woman, known as Kine-Chan, experienced such a situation and expressed her frustration afterward.

Kine-Chan, a Brazilian model and cosplayer with a notable online presence, is recognized for her creative looks, often inspired by various characters. On this occasion, she decided to dress up as Rebecca, a character from the anime series Cyberpunk.

Her costume comprised a black bikini, a blue wig, and black sandals. Despite the effort she put into the outfit, things did not go as planned when she attempted to board her flight at Navegantes Airport in Brazil. The airline staff stopped her, citing her clothing as «inappropriate.»

Expressing her disappointment on Instagram, the 21-year-old model shared a lengthy post in Portuguese narrating the incident. She explained that she dressed in the cosplay outfit to save time for an event but was instructed to return home and change due to the perceived inappropriateness of her attire.

The incident sparked a variety of responses from Kine-Chan’s followers. While some agreed with the airline staff, suggesting she could have worn a more easily removable outfit over her bikini, others were more sympathetic, emphasizing the importance of encouraging and respecting freedom of speech and creativity.

This incident sheds light on the ongoing discussions around dress codes and individual expression, especially in public spaces such as airports.
