 +===== No Costume Is No Costume =====
 +
 +The "No Costume is No Costume" rule was established by cosplay organizers in the 1970s and 1980s after a few attendees turned up to conferences in their underwear.

 +
 +===== Cosplay Is Not Consent Movement=====
 +
 +Women have created the "Cosplay is Not Consent movement" because sexual harassment at cosplay conventions has become such an issue.

 +===== Boost For Confidence =====

 +
 +===== Blaster Pop =====

 +

The main protagonist of the anime Kill la Kill, Ryuko Matoi, was the cosplayer's chosen character.[([[https://sg.news.yahoo.com/woman-calls-police-over-cosplayer-s-%E2%80%98underboob--at-anime-festival-100256199.html|yahoo]])]

 +
 +===== Scott Shaw =====
 +
 +Scott Shaw dressed up as "The Turd" at the 30th WorldCon in 1972 in a peanut butter costume. Under the intense lighting, the peanut butter rubbed off, causing harm to other people's costumes, furnishings, and going rancid.[([[https://file770.com/scott-shaw-deuce-of-deuces/|file770]])]
