Cosplayers shut down in face of floral faux pas
When I read the headline for this story at the Daily Yomiuri, ‘COSPLAY EVENT CLOSED AFTER COMPLAINT‘, I thought - now they done it…pink tentacle hentai cosplay! But no, the truth is - well, rather prosaic. Some old person complained that all the wierd costumes detracted from the surrounding foliage. And they got shut down. Seriously.
The park, called Flower Center, Heidi’s Village, is popular with many young people for its “cosplay” competitions, where participants dress in elaborate costumes as characters from anime, video games and other pop culture genres.
The Yamanashi prefectural government, which owns the park, asked the park’s managers to review whether or not the competition should be continued after receiving the complaint.
Many fans are calling for the event to be restored.
I should hope so.
