While I kinda get where you're coming from, and hey, you're in the perfect place to vent it, I kinda disagree with your end FU.

If I had money and could pay someone/help someone whose livelihood was based on making cosplay costumes, I would love that! I would definitely credit them if people took my pictures, like "check out this designer! They made this whole costume, isn't it great?! "

That said, I get the feeling (dare I say almost gatekeeping element) of enjoying seeing what people cobbled together. I did my first cosplay this past year -- I was an anime character maybe 5 people knew who it was lol -- and it was just a bunch of different pieces I had pieced together to make a version of the character -- Character X, but make it fashion. I drew on the face makeup and styles my hair accordingly. I took pictures with folks from the same anime who clearly bought their outfit from party city -- like it didn't matter at all to me! It was just such good fun! And exciting to see everyone excited about the same thing (it was may first con, can you tell? Lol).

I just feel that if we're all having a good time, what's the point of being a hater? Like I don't have time for that! But you feel how you feel and thanks for making this secret and generating conversation!
