Why do many parents say that cosplay is not serious?

I think it’s because many parents think it’s expensive and not doing their job properly. In fact, as a coser, I have also experienced many twists and turns. Whether it’s family members, roommates, or classmates, many people still don’t understand this hobby of ours. Even now, the related two-dimensional culture has become widely known, but there are still many people who cannot understand coser. What's the reason? We cannot understand one-time consumption. Many people who spend money to buy cos make a movie, and then props such as cos clothing and fake fur may only be used once.

Idle, thus leaving the impression that the coser is rich and wasteful. This is easy to see for those who only like cosplay in the first place. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should treat cos well. Exorbitantly expensive, everyday characters are actually fine, but for some game characters or well-dressed characters, the cost is very expensive. In particular, it's completely normal for a person to spend tens of thousands of dollars restoring details. In addition, after high consumption, many people are unable to recover their costs or even have no income at all. After parents know this character, they will definitely not be able to understand the coser's love for this character.

In fact, many people have deep misunderstandings about the content of the second dimension, including parents who know that they are engaged in animation-related work, and they cannot understand the content of the second dimension. They thought it was for kids. Why do they do this? How does a cosplayer support himself? I spent a long time explaining this to my parents. After all, games like anime are not easily accessible to the older generation. Welfare Ji, in fact, I don’t want to mention how confusing the coser circle is. Many people know that this circle was originally pure. However, after something happened, I realized that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that this circle has become increasingly chaotic and even stigmatized.

Therefore, if you are a coser or want to be a coser, I hope that everyone can still maintain the belief of good communication with their parents and truly experience the joy of coser before doing what they like! After all, family support is your biggest motivation! So I think it’s because many parents think it’s expensive and not doing their job properly.
