cosplay politics

Linktrees are more and more often including a link to space that isn’t really Cosplay related – it is however money related – and what you’re selling, well…it’s probably the oldest profession out there.

Is this what you wanted?  You built a following to coerce people into buying YOU? Your time, your opinions, your…”art” so to speak? We’re not here to bash, but you could have easily done all of that without Cosplay.

Does it give Cosplay a bad name?  It can – but ASMR is banned in certain countries and it’s not inherently evil or seductive.  It is what it is – and many call themselves ASMR Artists.  I follow a few too, and I can honestly say I don’t know why people think it’s evil.

Anyway – let’s do some math on the sense and cents it makes to sell yourself and then use those proceeds to buy into your hobby.

Know Your Worth.

•  You have value, you are worthy!
•  Cosplay is a space for everyone, not meant to be a judgmental space
•  Judging yourself harshly is common in Cosplay.           
•  It gets very competitive, can be political
•  Your value extends beyond Cosplay – you have a life outside of it, you have many talents, abilities and you contribute in many ways to the world around you.
• Cosplay should reinforce your value, not diminish it

Are you being judged? By yourself and others in Cosplay? Cosplay has become ultra-competitive.  Not only do you feel the pressure of making the costume and showing up, but now it seems that you'll be judged if you do not show up in a costume!  It's just expected when you go to a Con.

This week, I want to explore the feelings behind, and the imagination that goes into judgement. Often, it's not really there - we just imagine it is. The way people think about us is often not bad at all! That's if people can even spend more than a moment even thinking about what others are doing. 

Staying in your lane to build your personal brand is how the game is played. If you find yourself being judgy or feeling overwhelmed by other people's opinions that you may want to check yourself (...and you know the rest).

Let's talk about judgement, the feelings, and how to be supportive.  Not just supportive of what others are doing, but silencing that interior monologue that wants to tell you exactly how talented you are with something. There's all kinds of judgement and it is a huge part of the increasingly competitive cosplay industry.  Remember when this was about being a part of something, fandom, and just being able to have fun?  Let's work on bringing more of that back!
