The last convention I attended was Capital Sifi con on the 15th of February 2020.
During this con I met so many kind and talented cosplayers.
I was interested in finding out the reasons why people love to cosplay so much so I interviewed a few people.
A cosplayer who was cosplaying as 9th Doctor from Doctor who and goes by superjackdc_cosplay online said “It’s fun, you get to meet a lot of different people. You get to be your favourite character for a couple of days….”
Another amazing cosplayer who cosplayed Peggy Carter and goes by goblintidddy online said “I like tom cosplay as it channels all my creatively into a character that I know and love.”
The last cosplayer was a girl who goes by emma.mcghie._ online who was cosplaying a hex girl groupie from Scooby Doo said “…It gives you a chance to meet people and express aspects of yourself you normally wouldn’t get to.”
My view on why cosplaying is that there really is something for everyone. Everyone has a fictional character they love no matter what genre or media they are from and representing them and paying homage to them is a fun why to feel confident have fun and express you geeky interests.
