The art of cosplay is growing in popularity around the world, also given the important economic returns that come with its success. In some cases, however, this phenomenon is not understood, as happened recently in Mexico between a father and a daughter.
In 2021 alone, cosplayer Enako made nearly $1 million doing what she loved: playing her favorite characters. It recently aired on the Mexican program picture television a service in which the subject discussed was titled as “My daughter became an animalAnd”.
The show’s presenter explained the matter: “This is uA rather controversial and more common topic than we can imagine. Uriel is a father who says he is particularly upset by his daughter’s lifestyle, who took on the personality of a Japanese cartoon at the age of 19. You heard that right, a Japanese cartoon. And now the father wants to make her think, so that she no longer believes in this Japanese cartoon. And the thing is that anime culture has had a huge impact among teenagers, not just in Japan but around the world, and there are more and more people who have embraced this lifestyle, like each day in a certain way and way to dress. And they absolutely want to leave everything to immerse themselves in the world of video games, cartoons… it’s like an alternative world, interesting enough to explore and, of course, to understand.“
The father has actually threatened to withdraw financial support for his 19-year-old daughter if she doesn’t give up the world of cosplay. The daughter added during the broadcast: “I’m Suzuya (referring to Juuzou Suzuya from Tokyo Ghoul) and my new life is full of magic and color. Instead, Daniela (her real name) suffers from her father’s rejection. I embody this character because he’s a strong, confident, and totally happy character.“
A particularly complex situation that divided the opinion of the community. However, many, even parents, have realized the importance of understanding and supporting their daughter’s passions without prejudice. And you, on the other hand, which side are you on? Let us know with a comment below.
