I believe cosplayers of all kinds add significant value to convention programming! Whether you like it or not, cosplayers are an attraction, and they provide both entertainment and interaction with other attendees while paying the same badge price. I do get why cons sell the same badge to everyone, including cosplayers -- the logistics of defining cosplay would make that system easy to scam. And importantly, cons provide something in return: a space where cosplay is welcome, in contrast to the general public sphere. I know I'm being facetious here, but I've always wondered how much value cosplayer create for events And ofc I fully believe that cosplay guests who are contracted to work for events are doing a VERY different job than a regular attendee cosplayer. They deserve to be paid for their hard work!
