Any religion powerful enough to check the state would invariably become a corrupt authority . They become one and the same . <| sep |> I can kind of understand what you mean by the drama thing . I ' m not a cosplayer by any means , but I used to game with one and we were friends on Facebook for a while , and I ' d see drama posts involving the cosplay community damn near daily on their profile . Granted that most of it was more or less PSA posts warning fellow cosplayers of scammers or allaround douche canoe community members , but some of it seemed really childish . I guess when a community becomes as prevalent as cosplaying is , that stuff is bound to happen . But I ' ve also heard a few sad stories involving bullying within the community and whatnot , which I think is rather unfortunate . I ' m sure it ' s not as prevalent as some might think and there ' s a lot more positives to the community , but witnessing something like that would definitely leave a bad taste in my mouth and probably drive me out of the community as well .
