What is cosplay?
The word cosplay is a contraction of the words ‘costume’ and ‘play’. It is a creative form of expression where a person dresses up as a character from a comic book, anime, manga, book, movie, TV series, video game or similar.
Cosplayers often put a lot of time and effort into creating or purchasing their costumes and accessories so they can look as realistic and detailed as possible. They can also role-play, take photos and participate in cosplay competitions and events where they can meet other cosplayers and show off their costumes.
When interacting with cosplayers, remember that cosplay does not equal consent. Always ask permission before photographing, recording or even touching a person or their costume.
