Yeah. Overall I was pretty happy to see that it went well - Phase having to be put through any more grief for what seems to be a pretty fun event otherwise would've been really sad to hear about from the sidelines compared to what seemed to be this genuinely good event for their sakes.
Obviously as a Pippa fan I felt a bit lacking from the stream department, but I also get that she was sick during her Japan stay and she wasn't meant to do much for the concert anyway. I hope she'll be able to do more with Phase Con, though - she's been training her voice a lot more and her tapping into her lower register would be great to let her do some actually good singing for once. Somebody needs to make her a classic rock ripoff track so she can sing something she'll really love.
As for the cosplayers, I've been observing the western cosplay community for a while now (since like 2018) and it's definitely full of a lot of mentally-poisoned girls/young women, the kinds who put pronouns in their bios because they used tumblr too much as a kid or otherwise wanted to be able to say they're higher on the oppression spectrum than others. They're mostly harmless though, and they/thems aren't really ever as bad as you'd think they are.
Also, the septum piercings - that one has taken a while for me to understand too since I keep associating it with old-timey bull cartoons and it makes the nose look wider, something I personally don't find attractive, but like most of these piercing things it's a "fad", like gauges were a decade ago or snakebites were 2 decades ago. It'll probably die off in a few more years, but it's definitely just gonna be something you'll "see" among cosplayers since cosplayers ultimately are still nerds at heart and a lot of female nerds tend to like alternative fashion and subcultures, which naturally lend to things like piercings.
