Grumpy Old Artist Says Cosplay Brings _Nothing Of Value_ To Cons
Published on January 01, 0001
While cosplay is exploding in popularity, not everyone is cool with seeing hordes of people dressed up at conventions. Comic artist Pat Broderick is one such person. In a note left on his Facebook page, Broderick – who has worked on Batman and Micronauts – says:
If you’re a Cosplay personality, please rummy best don’t send me a friend request. If you’re a convention promoter and you’re building your show around cosplay events and mega multiple media guest don’t invite me….You bring rummy golds 
nothing of value to the shows, and if you’re a promoter pushing cosplay as 
your main attraction you’re not helping the industry or comics market..Thank you.. Hot take. Even hotter are the comments below, including gems like “KEEP COMICS AS COMICS!!!”, 
“I think maybe this cosplay phenomenon is just a trendy thing like disco maybe?”, and rummy mars this cracker: They’re their to pose and posture to an audience, andin my opinion, have no real interest in comic books really. I’m not against them, but they should have their own conventions. I read a lot about female cosplayers attracting the wrong sort of people to the conventions also, namely sex pests.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
