/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Honestly, I think it is a blatant sign of intense arrested development when you're still obsessed with cosplay past your mid-20's. Dressing up for a con or two a year is one thing, but when you're still treating cosplay as a lifestyle (as in centering your entire life around cosplay and going to as many cons as possible) it's time to reevaluate. Let's not forget that cosplay is literally dressing up as fictional characters at the end of the day. When that is still central to your identity at 30, you are doing life pretty wrong.

I'm not saying you're not allowed to have fun anymore after 25, by all means enjoy your vidya and mangos. However, it is time to reconsider how you participate in your fandoms and how much you dedicate your existence to it. By that age, you should have enough going on in your life where revolving your universe around cosplay isn't a thing anymore.
