Listen "Cosplay Removes Self-Identity"
Episode Synopsis
In this thought-provoking episode, Scotty B examines a side of cosplay few dare to talk about—the loss of self beneath the costume. When embodying characters becomes second nature, where does the real person go?He explores how constant transformation, performance, and validation from others can blur identity lines, leaving creators unsure of who they are without the armor, wigs, or makeup. Drawing from years inside the community, Scotty reflects on how cosplay can both liberate and trap—giving confidence while quietly eroding authenticity.This episode challenges listeners to find balance between expression and escapism, to reclaim the “you” behind the character, and to remember that the truest costume you’ll ever wear is the one called yourself.Find the Sanctuary on Social:With Co-Host @astravoidcosplay Join Her Twitch Community!
