What is cosplay? the union of two words costume and play
a hobby with which someone get dressed to represent a particular character. Which can be from a manga, anime, video game, movie
Why do we do cosplay? Because it's fun, interesting or for some even a challenge with yourself to see how close you can go to represent that particular character.
For many years now there are events where you can do cosplay and celebrate this passion together. Although many do not seem to understand what it really means!
Some go there to show their hard work of nights stent sewing the costume, while others are there to make those who observe them smile and there are those some that go to find new friends who share certain passions!
When you go to a fair you seem to be immersed in a world full of individuals who understand your passion and want to share with you your desire to create! it's a passion and it's fun!
However, with the growth of social media something for some in recent years has changed and the competitiveness between some cosplayer is very high, but why all this?
Why did all these rules come from that original simplicity that define what a good cosplayer is like from someone who is not?
Many people with this passion feel pushed to do better, because otherwise they do not feel up to certain standards, when it is said that the cosplay is for everyone, there are people who look down others?
what's the problem if some cosplayer bought their costume or was he helped to sew it? Or photoshop their photos to look more like a character or show off some parts of their bodies?
In our opinion as long as they don't predent that they did it themself, we do not find any problem if some cosplayer decides to buy their costumes
However, discriminating against someone based on their physical appearance, ability to sew or act, is not right and it is not what the cosplay should be about!
Although for some it can become a job, Cosplay is for the most part a passion in which many enthusiasts invest a lot of time, money and effort,
but saying who can or can not do cosplay or setting standards leads many to stop trying and have fun! And all this criticizing divides the community!
And it should not be so, you have to be able to go further and try to be united: learn to appreciate the style of each cosplayer or at least to respect it.
Make Cosplay for you, to be with your friends or even to make new ones!
And although it is not easy, do not pay attention to all those who behind a screen that criticize you! That anger that they have inside is not your problem!
If you like cosplay and it makes you feel good,live your passion
