The Truth in Cosplay Movement

The Truth in Cosplay movement seeks to diffuse drama by not giving it power.

Drama: This word is a famous buzzword used often by cosplayers to issue complaint often against those whom the offended cosplayer feels is causing unecessary angst or issue.  Its term implies that the said "drama queen" for lack of a better word, cannot merely exist with other cosplayers or people without some kind of tantrum or unnecessary issue.  Interestingly enough, once someone is labeled as "full of drama," or this is "drama," other Cosplayers within the immediate vicinity then begin to withdraw--the labeled Cosplayer also feels deflated as whatever point the cosplayer was trying to make as now null and void, or meaningless because of the label.  Example:  A dispute issues between officers over whether an event should ask of its members a small donation.  The disputant strongly feels that the event must be paid for somehow, mainly because favors only run so long among business partners and friends, so he pushes the point on the dollar donation for members.  One officer leaks information to the members about the dollar entry or donation, and as members begin talking, one member posts, "So much drama here... I'm gone."  Granted, said dispute was taking place off the board, out of the eyes of the members, but the whole issue now is that whatever the issue, undue stresss has now been caused to a poor member, to the point, that instead of really knowing wha the argument is about, or having a personal opinion on it, said member is allowed to "flounce" quit over something that doesn't really involve him or her at all.  After demonstrated "flounce post and quit" other cosplayers begin then to question group management--a myriad of opinions emerge,all surrounding the "Drama" that made the flouncer quit.  Whatever the reason, the unnecessary dramatics of the situation, whatever they are, must now cease.  Whatever the discussion, it must be tabled or forgotten or abandoned in light of the feelings for someone who made a conscious choice to quit.  Said person then walks around feeling superior, as if they have never disagreed with anyone, or that such horrid "drama" is non-existent in them, and their sparkling soul is now free from blemish, whatever said blemish actually was.  Any attempts of "dramtic " cosplayer to deal with the issue they were trying to solve are met with distinctive anger for rekindling a blemish that caused a person to quit.  Throwing the drama word out for any reason at all is merely a way for other cosplayers to tell someone to shut up.
