The article reflects on the motivation of cosplayers to participate in fairs, highlighting how size and popularity, rather than quality, are determining factors. The paradoxical aspect of this participation is highlighted, often dictated by the fear of being forgotten, both in the context of fairs and on social media. The author criticizes the superficial and illusory nature of these interactions, where online or physical presence does not guarantee authentic relationships, revealing the precariousness of the bonds built in this way. The reflection concludes with a question on the frequency with which one forgets, and is forgotten, in this system.
