 Women have created the "Cosplay is Not Consent movement" because sexual harassment at cosplay conventions has become such an issue. The movement emphasizes that it is inappropriate to grope, touch, or verbally harass fellow cosplayers, regardless of gender.[([[https://mds.marshall.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2150&context=etd|marshall]])] Women have created the "Cosplay is Not Consent movement" because sexual harassment at cosplay conventions has become such an issue.

 +===== Profit =====
 +

 +
 +===== Boost For Confidence =====
 +
 +Some cosplayers find that dressing up like heroes and well-known figures increases their confidence and self-esteem.[([[https://www.rhyljournal.co.uk/news/19610097.dressing-superheroes-subscribers-boosted-onyfans-models-self-esteem/?ref=rss|rhyljournal]])]
 +
 +===== Blaster Pop =====
 +
 +One cosplayer who attended the 30th WorldCon in 1972 carried a pretend blaster that shot actual flames; as a result, the event's organizers decided to outlaw fire.[([[https://aminoapps.com/c/nippon211/page/item/cosplay/EMRJ_zYuLI45GNrXdGvBZn20XBw51vxN03|aminoapps]])]
 +
 +===== Complain About A Cosplayer =====
 +
 +A woman complained to the police about a cosplayer's "underboob" at a cosplay convention (the bottom part of the breast). The main protagonist of the anime Kill la Kill, Ryuko Matoi, was the cosplayer's chosen character.[([[https://sg.news.yahoo.com/woman-calls-police-over-cosplayer-s-%E2%80%98underboob--at-anime-festival-100256199.html|yahoo]])]
 +
 +===== Comiket =====
 +
 +The biggest cosplay event is Comic Market (Comiket), a semi-annual doujin market. Thousands of cosplayers and hundreds of thousands of manga and anime enthusiasts attend the Comiket convention in Japan.[([[https://artsandculture.google.com/story/lAVhhYnMHGQxLA|artsandculture]])]
 +
 +===== Scott Shaw =====
 +
 +Scott Shaw dressed up as "The Turd" at the 30th WorldCon in 1972 in a peanut butter costume. Under the intense lighting, the peanut butter rubbed off, causing harm to other people's costumes, furnishings, and going rancid.[([[https://file770.com/scott-shaw-deuce-of-deuces/|file770]])]
 +
 +===== Comic-Con =====
 +
 +The San Diego Comic-Con and the New York Comic Con are the two most well-known cosplay gatherings in North America.[([[https://www.thepopverse.com/comic-conventions-cons-con-near-me-nycc-san-diego-anime-tickets|thepopverse]])]
 +
 +===== First 'Costuming' =====
 +
 +Cosplay, which was first known as "costuming", got its start in North America in the late 1930s when science fiction author Forrest Ackerman showed up in a futuristic costume at a convention.[([[https://the-artifice.com/cosplay-overview/|the-artifice]])]
 +
 +===== World Cosplay Summit =====
 +
 +The most well-known cosplay competition is the World Cosplay Summit. Cosplayers from more than 40 countries compete in Japan.[([[https://www.nagoyaisnotboring.com/world-cosplay-summit/|nagoyaisnotboring]])]
 +
 +===== LARP =====
 +
 +LARP stands for Live Action Role Play. Instead of performing as a pre-made character in this, you create, dress, and behave as your own character. The primary distinction between the two is that with LARP cosplay, you are claiming to be a character you created. Therefore, the entire creative effort is yours. This is enjoyable since you designed the game rather than being a part of it.[([[https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/LARP|techtarget]])]
 +
 +===== Photography =====
 +
 +Costume is useless without photographers, so while you are dressing up and taking in the atmosphere of your character, make sure there is a skilled photographer around to capture you in your best cosplay.[([[https://www.tor.com/2013/11/01/how-to-stay-safe-when-you-cosplay/|tor]])]
 +
 +===== Way Of Life =====
 +
 +For some folks, cosplay is more than just a pastime; it's a way of life. Yes, the addiction to this entertaining and stimulating hobby is so strong that fans save money to attend cosplay events.[([[https://www.thepopverse.com/yaya-han-cosplay-mcdonalds-apa-next|thepopverse]])]
 +
 +===== Cosplay Vs Costume =====
 +
 +Costumes are inexpensive, simple to store, and often suitable for children. Cosplay is authentic, engaging, and realistic. In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that cosplay is the attire of adults and young people.[([[https://sjhexpress.com/opinion/2019/03/14/costumes-vs-cosplay-know-the-difference/|sjhexpress]])]
 +
 +===== Beginning Of Cosplay =====
 +
 +It started in 1984 by the founder of Studio Hard when they attended the 42nd Worldcon in LA.[([[https://otakumode.com/otapedia/vocaloid/hatsune_miku/cosplay|otakumode]])]
 +
 +===== First World Cosplay Summit =====
 +
 +Five cosplayers from Germany, France, and Italy were invited to the first global cosplay summit, which took place in 2003 at the Rose Court Hotel in Japan.[([[https://www.worldcosplaysummit.jp/20th/en/history/|worldcosplaysummit]])]
