The content that Jessica Nigri puts out, really displays cosplay in the wrong light.

Cosplayers love Disney princesses. We all grew up with them. We identify with one or more princesses.

It can literally change someone's life it's very positive for young teenagers to get into cosplay if they do it with their friends or with supervision from their parents - it can really foster their social skills.

I discovered cosplay because I was going to an anime convention and did some research, and found out people dressed up as characters. I made a very badly put-together costume because I felt this desire to dress up.

I think Heroes of Cosplay will show a lot of the positive things, like how much effort it takes to make a costume. These people on the show aren't taking shortcuts. As long as that effort gets through to the viewers, we will be inspirational. Then there will be people who watch the show that want to get in and hands-on make outfits.
