14/08/2023Monday DiscussionWe want to hear your views on “What’s your view of “gatekeeping” within the cosplay community?”
The concept of “gatekeeping” refers to the act of controlling access to a certain community or identity by imposing strict rules, standards, or criteria. While gatekeeping can have both positive and negative effects depending on the context, it is generally considered problematic when it becomes exclusionary, restrictive, or harmful.
Similarly, in certain cultural or subcultural groups, gatekeeping may be used to protect the identity and values of the community from appropriation or exploitation by outsiders. In these cases, gatekeeping can be seen as a way to preserve cultural heritage and prevent harmful misrepresentations.
However, the downside of gatekeeping arises when it is used to exclude and marginalize certain individuals or groups based on arbitrary criteria, such as race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, or differing opinions. This can lead to elitism, discrimination, and a lack of diversity and inclusion within the community.

24/07/2023Monday DiscussionWe want to hear your views on “Do you have any fears of Generative AI in the cosplay community or are you excited by it and why?”
One of the most remarkable applications of generative AI in photography is its ability to create stunning and hyper-realistic images from scratch. By analyzing vast datasets of photographs, AI algorithms can generate lifelike scenes, landscapes, and portraits that challenge the boundaries of human imagination. This newfound power allows photographers to experiment with unique concepts, pushing the envelope of artistic expression and storytelling.
While generative AI in photography brings about a myriad of advantages, it also raises questions about the role of human photographers in this rapidly evolving landscape. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, some argue that it might diminish the value of human creativity and originality.
