In this episode, Uncanny Annie and Naomi join us to discuss and tackle pressing safety concerns in the cosplay community. We share personal insights on building trust through clear communication, setting firm boundaries, and ensuring consent during photoshoots or events. Hopefully, we can share tips and tricks on creating a secure, supportive space for all cosplayers.
