Speaking of China, regulations are strict, and flashy clothing that exposes a lot of women’s skin is not favored. Don’t you have an image like that? I thought so too. Until a few years ago.
ChinaJoy, China’s largest gaming exhibition.
Many companions and layers participate in ChinaJoy and add beauty to the venue.
A few years ago, around 2017, the costume became a social issue. Very flashy and revealing costumes are prevalent, and among them, a photo of Athena cosplay from Saint Seiya went viral and became a problem.
Since then, regulations have been put in place at ChinaJoy regarding the costumes of cosplayers and companions, and efforts are being made to make the site more sanitary.
Now, what is interesting here is that in China, this regulation is not based on a political correctness perspective.
In Japan, as well as Europe and America, the participation of female companions in shows is often an issue from a political perspective. It is said that positions unique to women, such as race queens, are considered sexual exploitation, but in China, regulations are not based on that perspective, but purely on the basis that “overly flashy costumes have low morals.” Of course, such debates occur in Japan as well, but recently the political correctness perspective tends to be the focus, and the contrast between them is interesting.
However, in any case, it is a good thing that the costumes of cosplayers and companions in China have become healthier, and ChinaJoy is becoming an event that is easier to participate in.
Dressing up in sexy costumes at cosplay events is difficult because some fans look forward to it. It’s difficult to know what is OK and what is not.
However, I think this area is gradually improving worldwide. Since games are content that children can also enjoy, I hope that improvements like this will continue.
