Ignorance and Fandom: Cons and Cosplay Elm: (Friday) 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM
Presented by: Hana Li; Callie Calypso; Helena Isis; Ashley Easter; Frank Hui
This panel will cover social issues in fandom as it relates to conventions and cosplayers. We'll talk about the ''Cosplay is not consent'' movement, micro-aggressions towards cosplayers of a different race or body type, cultural appropriation, and more. We encourage people of all ages to be aware of these issues, but we will not hold back in our discussions so this is not a panel for those who will be uncomfortable with hot topics. Rated: Mature |
