and cosplaying IS quite immature out of an appropriate setting. It isn't just 'wearing clothes'. Have you ever SEEN a typical anime character? They don't exactly dress very normal. Even typical anime characters dress odd in a NA/EU setting. It goes a little past wanting to stand out in a crowd...
Your argument is like saying it's perfectly normal for some japanese kid to dress up as superman, cuz it's 'just wearing clothes.' I don't really care if people want to look like "individuals" but we need to draw the line somewhere.
Cosplaying is for Halloween, conventions and other random settings I might be forgetting.
Cosplaying out of an appropriate setting is a symptom of weeabooism. Plain and simple.
