Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary

Everything in Cosplay is based in Fiction

November 13, 2023 • ScottyB • Season 5 • Episode 32

We’re only showing so much of ourselves, and that self is based in fiction – graphics, effects, quotes – it’s all made up so that you like it. Going overboard with "fake" – beyond makeup into alteration for validation and so much lack of authenticity in just being what you THINK you have to be in order to gain attention. You use terms like 'higher self' to describe what you do in order to 'fit in' to the online world, but in doing so, you can lose your audience, your friends, your sense of self, just to gain likes and follows.
