Join Elle and Ash for a discussion of the poor behavior that has been seen by attendees and competitors in terms of cosplay contests. We'll discuss why some people feel they know more despite their lack of knowledge, why people jump to social media to complain, and constructive ways to make change in a contest (if you feel change needs to occur).
