About this episode
Hosted by: Scotty B
In this important and unflinching episode, Scotty B tackles one of the most uncomfortable yet crucial topics in the cosplay world: creeper behavior at conventions. From unwanted photos and boundary-crossing compliments to full-on harassment, this episode calls it out clearly—this is not OK.
Scotty shares honest reflections, community experiences, and the silent signals many cosplayers have had to normalize just to feel “safe” at events. He talks about the emotional toll of constantly having to be “on guard,” and the blurred lines that too often get excused under the guise of admiration or “just being a fan.”
This episode is a firm reminder that respect is non-negotiable, and protecting the cosplay space means having real conversations about the behavior we allow. Whether you’ve been affected, witnessed something, or want to be part of the solution, this one is for you.
