Hsiao Chen says cosplayers are really no different from other students in their social interactions--they just lack experience. On top of that, cosplayers are influenced by the extremely direct manners by which cartoon characters communicate, so they tend not to be as "nuanced" in their interactions as outsiders might be.
小辰便說，cosplay 圈其實就跟一般學生的人際往來沒什麼兩樣，只是動漫迷比較缺乏人際互動的歷練，加上動漫的敘事裡，角色大多以非常直接的方式表達情緒，因此 cosplay 圈裡，玩家的喜怒哀樂也通常比較直截了當，而沒有外在世界那麼「深沈世故」。
