Comics Industry Reacts To… Cosplay War. Now With Added #cosplayersAREfans
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran a piece regarding Pat Broderick's comments regarding cosplay. Some said this wasn't a story, but The Telegraph and Mary Sue seemed to disagree.
I've seen cosplayers line up for hours to get a sketch/signature. And they're unlikely to flip it- they always ask it to be signed to them.

This ridiculous trend of comics pros bashing cosplayers is pathetic and embarrassing. Stay home if it hurts you so deeply. Sheesh.

Okay, I've officially had it with the anti-cosplay BS. 1) who the hell are you to judge whether someone has researched their joy enough?

2) If someone is interested enough in comics to dress up as one of the characters, TRUST ME, you can sell them hella stuff if you are nice.

I have sold GRINDHOUSE to Mariachi Captain America & and MY LITTLE PONY to Elsa. Some of my best con experiences have been with cosplayers.

3) Just… just don't stomp all over things that make other people happy. DON'T. If you are doing that, you need to re-examine your shit NOW

Welcome back, Mr. Broderick, now don't let the door hit you on the ass…no, on second thought, let it. You need a good jolt.

I remember seeing someone cosplay as one of my Indigo Prime characters way back in the early 90s. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

For the record, I love cosplay and all the madness that it brings to the comicon circuit. More should dress as *my* characters, but hey..

Cosplay at shows is fantastic- it stops us looking like a bunch of old tired men in a room- brightens things up, makes us more interesting
— john mccrea (@mccreaman) December 5, 2014
but #cosplay means other people attend shows who normally wouldn't and they spend- and they are new people being brought in… so win.

But it also fueled one positive hashtag, #cosplayersAREfans

But could this get any more controversial? Why, yes.
"#CosplayersAREFans" is about when you passionately love something but get mislabeled and attacked. Sucks right? Welcome to #GamerGate.
