Growth at a Cosplayer's Expense
Season 6 Episode 27
In this revealing episode, Scotty B examines the darker side of “growth” in the cosplay world—the kind that comes at the creator’s expense. From emotional burnout to exploitative collaborations, he explores how individuals, events, and even communities often benefit from a cosplayer’s time, image, and energy without giving much in return.
Scotty reflects on how ambition and visibility can be used against creators, turning passion into a transaction. He breaks down the quiet ways the system drains artists under the banner of “opportunity,” and how to recognize when growth isn’t actually mutual.
This episode urges listeners to reclaim their boundaries, value their work, and understand that real growth doesn’t require self-sacrifice—it requires self-respect.
