Hosted by: Scotty B In this introspective episode, Scotty B asks a daring question many cosplayers avoid: Have we become too faithful to the fandoms we love? When devotion to source material turns into creative constraint, it can stop cosplayers from innovating, evolving, or even enjoying the process. Scotty explores how rigid fan expectations, canon-accuracy obsession, and community pressure can quietly stifle originality and self-expression. He reflects on how staying too loyal to franchises or characters can make cosplay feel more like obligation than inspiration. This episode encourages listeners to break free from the invisible rules and rediscover why they started cosplaying in the first place—not for approval, but for joy, transformation, and personal meaning.
