TikTok cosplayers aren’t often at the epicenter of viral trends. But that hasn’t stopped certain users from exploding in popularity. The ‘cosplay’ hashtag has over 76 billion views, and users such as Snitchery are known for their cult following.
Caitlin Christine is a very popular member of the cosplay community. Having previously played as Velma, Black Widow and Shrek’s Lord Farquaad, the TikToker has amassed over two million followers. Her videos regularly generate hundreds of thousands of views.
On July 15, one of Caitlin’s videos hit the one-million mark. In a transformation that would have Margot Robbie quaking; she changed herself into popular DC character Harley Quinn. As of July 17, the video has 1.6 million views.
Film and comic buffs are used to seeing Harley walking around with her iconic baseball bat – but TikTok cosplayer Caitlin had other ideas. Harley’s doppelganger walked purposefully around a laundromat, folding her bloodstained clothes.
