Does cosplay and gay/lesbian community something in common why makes cosplay such an interesting feat.

My fellow clown cosplayers unite!

Learn the term and use it

I personally think right-wing persons should not be allowed to cosplay. When drama stirs up, they always have a role in it, be it by using cosplay to promote their ideology or to exclude apolitical / centrists out of their groups just because they won't take a position, while that's correct since cosplay is a dress-up hobby and not a battleground or a second job shift.

Meeting/hooking up with people at a con: is it even possible if you're a loner? I have normie friends, and relatives who are into this sort of stuff, but no one to really hang out with. I'd seen threads before on here about people wanting to hook up or socialize at a con. I feel like I'd want to go there to do that sort of stuff, but while I'm trying with Discord, I don't really know anyone.

I feel like the idea of a con is to get all of these weird people into this or that hobby or belief into the same place, watch something grow. But yet, most people seem packed into small groups. I'm bi, so I'm not necessarily aiming for cosplay girls, but I'm not a bug chaser either. I'd just like cool friends too, y"know. I only have a day to do it. Can I do it?
