Cosplaying is a great way to express your creative side, but with the rise of social media, the community has seen some changes. Many older cosplayers will tell you that over the years, cosplaying has started to turn more into a competition rather than a fun hobby. While this can be a great thing, it can also deter people from entering the community. So how do we keep the cosplay world a welcoming place? Bring back “bad” cosplaying! Join cosplayers DuelGirlLizzy and NezzerCosplay along with photographer Candra Designs to discuss the cosplaying world. Here we will talk about the struggles of entering the hobby, how it is ok and normal to not be a “perfect” cosplayer right out the gate, and how we have grown from our own trials and errors. This is a space to learn and find a community, we hope to see you there!
