- Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.
- Cosplay is when you miss those last two steps and continue to play dress-up well into adulthood. Usually, this involves making and wearing a costume based on a TV show you like, or if you're even more of a nerd, a comic or a book. Tumblr fans are especially fond of cosplay because they are obnoxious little shits that want everyone to see just how much they love Doctor Who, despite thinking David Tennant is the second actor to play the Doctor.
- At this time, because trying to read entire pages of nothing but Japanese characters was proving to be a fucking nightmare, Japanese newspapers had been experimenting with the liberal use of cartoon pictures to fill out most of the space of page, as well as replacing most of the text with "...". As cosplay gained a wider following in Japanese society, the lurid stories of costumed criminal molestations became the most popular new section of Japanese newspapers, nicknamed the Manga section. The section proved so popular that it made a move to TV and movies, replacing drab news coverage with shrieking animals, tentacles, and tearful emotional flashbacks to other tearful emotional flashbacks. Thus was anime born.
- Cosplay is the practice, originating with fans at anime conventions, of dressing up like favorite characters. It is not unknown for RPG fans to dress up as elves, barbarians, vampires or other characters, or to dress up as animepopular media characters in keeping with the crossover appeal of science-fiction, anime, and the like.
- Cosplay differs from Halloween in that the object of cosplay is to attempt to become one's character much the same way as a stage actor inhabits a role. Costumes are expected to adhere meticulously to the attire known to be worn by the character represented. The reason for cosplay can be for a variety of reasons; personal desire, product promotion, job description, however the method of creating a cosplay costume largely remains the same.

He was so impressed by the hall and masquerade costuming there that he reported about it frequently in Japanese science fiction magazines.

Other examples of this include Pokémon (ポケモン Pokémon? short for ポケットモンスター, or "Pocket Monsters") and puroresu (プロレス puroresu?
