Hosted by: Scotty B
In this unfiltered and necessary episode, Scotty B takes aim at the darker side of cosplay culture—the toxic behaviors that often go unchecked beneath the surface of creativity and fandom. From ego-driven gatekeeping and public callouts to clout-chasing and fake kindness, this episode isn’t about canceling anyone—it’s about calling in the community to do better.
Scotty shares hard truths from personal experiences and what he’s witnessed at cons and online, peeling back the curtain on performative “positivity,” manipulative networking, and the subtle ways cosplayers undermine each other in the name of growth.
This isn’t about drama—it’s about awareness. Because cosplay is supposed to be fun, inclusive, and inspiring… not a battleground for status. If you've ever felt alienated, judged, or like you're not "enough" to belong, this episode speaks to you.
