Avoid the Main Cosplay Traps

November 22, 2023 • ScottyB • Season 5 • Episode 37

There are a few Cosplay traps that we haven't talked about yet - more to do with cosplayers supporting cosplayers or those outside of the community who think they're doing the right thing by over-extending themselves to buy other people Cosplays.

Do not become a “Fan” and carry a torch – have friends, collabs, but do not de-value yourself into having someone be above you because they can model, or act, or are designers. There are many skills – you need to put yourself first in your own life and believe you have value – being a fan and interacting as a fan will devalue you.
