I've been cosplaying since before it was even called cosplay in the U.S. I was once given an award for cosplay by the man who literally invented cosplay, though it wasn't called that then either. (Forrest J. Ackerman. Look it up.)

And we've always been mocked. I grew up knowing I was a punchline on Night Court, on Roseanne, on SNL, on everything. It was NORMAL back then, you accepted it before you even assembled your outfit.

Yes, targeted cyberbullying within the community is worse now, and I don't pretend it feels the same. But fucking hell, at least you kids HAVE a community outside of conventions now.

Yup, this.

My mom started cosplaying for conventions back in the 60's, and got shit for it then, too.
