Hosted by: Scotty B

In this heartfelt episode, Scotty B explores how the cosplay and creator spaces—once centered around shared fandom and friendship—have shifted into platforms for performance, comparison, and quiet isolation.

He asks a question that cuts deeper than it seems: Remember when it was OK to just have friends? No follower counts. No brand-building. Just connection, joy, and the simple bond over something you loved.

Scotty reflects on how online culture has changed the way we relate to one another, turning collaboration into competition and friendship into strategy. This episode is both a call to return to community and a reminder that meaningful relationships are not only still possible—they’re necessary.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected or like you’re always “networking” instead of genuinely connecting, this one’s for you.
