The World Cosplay debacle
This is one of the more disturbing things to pop out on the Internet. The international cosplay community banded together to fight a country of haughty anime-obssessed bastards who had the wrong idea about cosplay. And these bastards are from my country.
Long story short, some bastard Singaporeans think cosplay consists only anime cosplay, and tried to copyright it as such. he international cosplay community got angered, and threatened to sue the shit outta the entire nation. The lawsuit didn’t go through, for the government stepped in and cut a deal with them.
Honestly, I’d push for the lawsuit meself. This country needs to be sued for trying to force their misguided concepts of cosplay to the world.
However, this is not the main crux of my post.
On behalf of the government and people of the Republic of Singapore, I apologize for the misdeeds of the cosplay community here. Even though it is not my responsibility, as a citizen of this nation, I am compelled by my principles to issue this apology. Even though it does not concern me, I am truly sorry for the trouble this has caused.
I am not able to do anything except for this for I am a lowly citizen with no power to affect the community at large. If I could more, I would have done so.
