Cosplay is meant to be a fun and exhilarating experience but there are still some rules that fans and cosplayers are constantly breaking.
As a kid, I freaking loved Halloween. Dressing up as your latest favorite characters, going out around your neighborhood, getting candy with your friends; an actual kids’ paradise. I still love Halloween to this day and it is the best time of the year. I stink at dressing up, though. Some people are so into dressing up that they make their own costumes. These people are often the ones who become cosplayers. Cosplay, in case you have not heard of it, is a portmanteau of the words ‘costume’ and ‘play’. It is literally the act of dressing as a character and becoming that character. People technically do it on Halloween, but many make viable careers out of doing it year-round.
Cosplayers usually start out casual just buying costumes or learning how to sew with parents and YouTube tutorials. If they get good and popular enough, professional cosplayers can gain sponsorships and brand deals while making a profitable career. However, there are some unexpected things that may come as a surprise for some folks. Cosplayers have a lot of rules that they must follow while in a costume that regular trick or treaters would not think of. The rules are generally to help the cosplayer and everyone at the event have a good and safe time. Conventions also have their own individual rules to bear in mind that may need cosplayers to adjust their cosplays in advance. That being said, some cosplayers break the rules and we need to talk about that.
Getting the perfect selfie in cosplay is often a goal for many social media savvy cosplayers. One of the best places to do that is well-lit bathrooms. When a convention is happening, you can always find cosplayers posting photo shoots and cute selfies all over social media. However, just check where you are and make sure you are mindful of who or what is around you while taking pictures in case you catch something private or unexpected.
Cons and events are often inside events that are packed with people. Folks are often in heavy cosplay and there are large crowds and it just turns into a hot mess. With that in mind, cosplayers (and just people in general) need to wear deodorant. It’s hard work being in character and costume all day and you can work up a sweat doing it. Just do everyone a favor and wear some deodorant so there’s no stank up in the con.
While cosplayers are happy that folks admire their cosplays and are flattered that you want to take pictures, there is an unsaid rule; ask for permission before filming them. You would think that most folks would know this, but this is actually a big issue at cons. There are many other rules for photography but this is the most basic one. Just ask for permission first and everyone will have a good time and you’ll get a cute photo with your fave.
NOT true. Cosplay is for anyone no matter what you look like or what skill you have. People who body shame are the ones who are wrong and toxic. Who cares as long as you are expressing yourself and having a good time? No-one is going to pull off an exact copy of your fave character, but they will come up with a cute version that lets them have fun. Cosplay is supposed to be fun; there is no place for gatekeeping in this community.
No-one wants someone to just grab them when they aren’t expecting it, especially if they shove a camera in your face. Many cosplayers have experienced unwanted photos, comments, and physical contact at conventions and events. If you want to hug or touch a cosplayer, always ask permission; if you don’t and you grab them, that is a crime. Respect their agency and ask for permission and you both will have a way better time.
When choosing someone to cosplay in public, one of the biggest sources for character inspiration is children’s characters. When you are in cosplay, especially as a kids’ character, you must be mindful of how you act. Do not say or do anything that your character won’t do while you are in costume. Cursing when they would not do so is not okay, especially if there are young children around. When in costume, even on break, people will be watching, so be careful.
Okay, so this often is not the cosplayer’s fault. Sometimes, they get stopped by someone wanting a photo and soon enough more and more people come until it’s a crowd. The problem is this is usually in a hallway or walkway so no-one can get past. This is often out of the cosplayer’s control but is still annoying for others to deal with. However, sometimes someone in a large bulky costume stands still in a hallway for no reason and it is the worst.
Many cosplayers make their own props to go with their cosplay. The prop may be a staff, toy, weapon, or other accessories that make the character pop. These props are usually handmade, delicate, or both. Knowing this, do not just grab a cosplayer’s prop without respect or permission. You don’t know how much work and time went into it and the possibility that their prop could be broken is stressful. Once again, ask for permission first and it should be fine.
Over the years, there have been many stories and allegations of bothering and invasion of privacy at conventions. It ranges from cosplayers getting grabbed or touched to outright disrespected at conventions against their consent and sometimes even against their knowledge. There are too many to discuss here, but some more high-profile cases include Momo-Kun’s serial issues and the secret film in a cosplay changing room . Both of these are examples of what not to do, so take notes.
Certain high-profile cosplayers out there seem to think that they can just show up to a con or event dressed in a perfect cosplay and just walk on in without buying a ticket. Just because you are in a fancy cosplay does not mean that you get special treatment. Conventions are pedestrian events that everyone has to buy tickets for. Buying tickets supports the convention and everyone who works there so it can keep growing. It is rude and disrespectful to so blatantly break the rules.
As any mech anime fan will tell you, there are some huge costumes out there. Characters in shows and movies often end up wearing massive suits or huge armor. These are hard to replicate and mad props to anyone who can make these kinds of cosplay, however, they can be dangerous. Huge cosplay can block the way or step on someone. If it has large protrusions or spikes then you could poke someone’s eyes out by accident. Just announce that you’re walking by with an ‘excuse me’ and it should be fine.
When a cosplayer hosts a panel or photo op for their fans, it can be a super fun (and profitable) experience. If the cosplayer is particularly popular, long lines form and time limits are put in place so as many people as possible can join in. However, some folks take it too far and try to impose on the cosplayer or hog all their time. It can make the cosplayer feel awkward and uncomfortable or stop others from having their turn.
Being proud of your hard work is absolutely to be encouraged. Making cosplay takes a lot of effort and skill, no matter how experienced the cosplayer is. However, some folks take it a bit too far. Hogging the spotlight, especially at panels or when you are in a group cosplay, is a big no-no. Being proud of your work is great, but let others show off their hard work, too. No-one likes to feel pushed out or ignored, so just bear it in mind.
As I briefly mentioned earlier, different cons will have different rules and regulations regarding cosplay and props that must be followed. Often, there are rules regarding weapons. Sometimes it may be that you have to unstring a bow or take the tips off of arrows, but sometimes there are regulations regarding size and some don’t let you carry weapon props at all. Make sure to double check these rules before you head out to the convention just in case.
Being in a crowded indoor place all day can mean that it gets hot in cons really fast. Everyone’s body heat and sometimes the weather all come together to make con-goers a little hot under the collar. To make sure you stay healthy and feel good, bring plenty of water in your bag when you go to conventions. It can be difficult to remember to drink when you are having so much fun doing all the activities and making friends. Taking care of yourself is just as important as having fun.
This one is fairly self-explanatory, but an important one to remember. When bringing to life an artist or photographer’s unique take on a particular character it is common courtesy to credit them in your descriptions and photos. If you take pictures with other cosplayers, it is good practice to get their social media handles and tag them in photos you share after the convention. Crediting and tagging folks means that the community grows and others get to see some fabulous work.
A follow-up from what I discussed earlier, but it has to be emphasized; cosplay is not consent. I don’t care if the cosplayer is wearing full armor or a tiny outfit – you do NOT touch them without their consent or pressure them in any way. Just because they are dressed up as your fictional crush does not mean you can grab them or ask them for any kinds of favors. The person under the cosplay will have a big problem with your inappropriate behavior.
Being in character can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be exhausting to maintain all day. Taking regular breaks to drink water, eat, and rest is essential to your wellbeing. Most folks follow the unspoken rule that when a cosplayer is on break, you do not bother them for photos or signatures. Nobody wants to be bothered while they are eating with friends and ‘off-duty’. If you really want that photo, wait until they are done eating and are back in character.
Okay, not all cosplayers do this. However, it is a big issue in the community. Some folks out there have taken it upon themselves to tell people that they cannot cosplay a certain character because they don’t ‘look the part’. This cosplayer may have a different look from the original reference and comments like this are not encouraging to cosplayers at all. This gatekeeping needs to stop and is unacceptable. This type of behavior is disrespectful and hurtful and could drive people away from the community – not cool at all.
Doing a photo shoot is one of the coolest things a cosplayer can do. It is arguably the ultimate way to showcase your work and modeling abilities. Many cosplayers’ photoshoot photos have gone viral and gotten them great opportunities, so you can understand why folks choose to do them. Often, they have a professional photographer taking the photos and they have a set plan in mind. If you see a cosplay photoshoot going on, ask permission to join in and take your own pictures so you don’t accidentally get in the way.

We're not talking massive wardrobe malfunction or disastrous mix-ups, but a mere waste of aesthetic potential.
Everyone can appreciate the time and effort cosplayers put into their outfits. Not only are they dressing up as the characters, but they're embodying their personas to a tee, replicating their idiosyncrasies, bringing along sidekicks, and wielding weapons made famous in the movies or comics.
From the Super Smash Bros. roster, over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics, The Hunger Games, and everything in between, there is no shortage of opportunity when it comes to cosplay. With that in mind, some cosplay girls still make the wrong choice. We're not talking massive wardrobe malfunction or disastrous mix-ups, but a mere waste of aesthetic potential.
These cosplay girls should have shot for the stars, yet instead, they barely left Earth.
We can't help by gawk at this particular Samus Aran cosplayer. Her choice to dress up at Nintendo's Metroid main character (and one of the beloved Super Smash Bros. characters) was a good one, as the tight-fitting bodysuit clearly highlights her features. However, she could have taken it up another level if she went a little more au naturale .
Whether her long, blonde locks are natural or dyed for the purposes of this outfit, we feel like this cosplayer could have chosen an outfit that would flaunt her features a little better. Some black leather, Katniss Everdeen-style would contrast her blonde hair beautifully, while something a little more flattering to the curves wouldn't go awry either.
After first appearing in the Marvel UK series, Captain Britain, Psylocke has become most known for her appearances in the world of X-Men. This cosplayer has plenty of potential, and seems to have done at least a fair job in replicating the character, but she could have delivered so much more in a Wonder Woman outfit, for instance.
With a rocking steampunk feathered hat, a frilly shirt and a mix of fur and metal sleeves, this cosplayer has done a commendable job on her outfit, to say the least. Despite the impressive costume, it doesn't really do her any favours in terms of turning a few heads. She could have pulled off a killer Black Widow.
This cosplayer could have taken any comic book, video game, or MCU character, and turned it into something drool-worthy. Instead, to the detriment of all wandering eyes in her vicinity, she made the conscious decision to suit up in a head-to-toe, obstructive Samus suit. To twist the words of Uncle Ben - with great assets comes great opportunity.
It takes more than just sliding into a costume to turn a wannabe cosplayer into a good one. Apart from donning the outfit, you need to embrace the character with authenticity and intent. This girl has had no issue with the costume, but she's clearly lacking enthusiasm when it comes to playing the part.
Princess Peach might indeed be a princess, but that doesn't mean that she needs to repel any wandering eyes by wearing elbow-length gloves and a dress down to her ankles. While this cosplayer has certainly done a job worthy of applause as far as accuracy goes, she's hiding plenty of talent with her choice of outfit.
While Daisy's gloves are at least only wrist-length, we're of the view that gloves and puffy below-knee dresses should be avoided entirely, that is, if the cosplayer is wanting to turn heads. The crown might be a nice touch, but overall the outfit seems rather childish - she could have been the center of attention if she wanted to.
This woman has slid in excellently into her Captain Marvel persona and even has a little bit of a resemblance to the MCU actress, Brie Larson, with her wavy blonde hair. While there's nothing wrong with her choice, per se, she has the piercing stare that could have turned a few other characters into serious eye-candy.
We love Zelda (the titular character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda, of course), and this cosplayer has done a pretty darn good job at replicating her. While the long, blonde hair is clearly the main selling point for this cosplayer, the darting, pointed elf-like ears detract from the overall aesthetic. Not bad, but not the best.
Forgetting about the little black feline sidekick here for a second, this cosplayer's attempt at Hellgirl is actually rather impressive. Then again, how hard is it to slap on some red paint and a giant glove? Her eyes are piercing, but there is surely some more talent on display that another choice of costume would have better highlighted.
Queen Mera was played by Amber Heart in the recent DC film, Aquaman, so any cosplayer is going to have a might difficult time living up to
