You skipped Cosplay (and all the sub categories like Trekkies, Starwars fans, super heroes, warriors, damsels, knights...) infantilizm, geeks, comic book collectors, NASCAR fans, NFL groupies, Goths, Vampyres, S&M. Shall I go on?
I like skipping...

I assume that Star Wars inspired furry fandom, in fact it IS a sci-fi phenomena. If I wanted to touch upon cosplay, the title of the thread OP would be different, wouldn’t it?

I may be guilty of cosplay, but can it be considered cospaly if nobody knows who I’m trying to emulate? I mean, SHE exists, a streamlined collection of various sightings, cobbled together and refined until it can’t be pinned down. Why simply cosplay when you can make up your own fictional character and “walk into” the role? Sounds good (and creative) to me…
