Perhaps, there are still some people who really like role-playing. However, this situation is relatively rare. At present, most comic-con exhibitions and ACG activities are about love for the purpose of making money. Just imagine, before role-playing activities were officially spread from Japan to China, people who liked role-playing at that time were basically out of sincere love. Later, with more and more understanding of this, more and more people participated in it. Many people hold a playful attitude, more for money and fame.
Many girls will go to the comic exhibition because they can put on beautiful clothes, and then someone will take beautiful photos for them for free. Sending these beautiful photos online will get a lot of praise, and some people even hope to realize money income through these beautiful photos. More people hope to get money and fame through role-playing. This is very different from the previous role-playing because everyone likes it.
Of course, there must be people who insist on playing. But in general, the current cosplay has deteriorated.
