I know an idiot who brought a sword to school when cosplaying as Toushiro, man she got screwed bad
Ehh? I brought swords to school back then~
Though I didn't get screwed~

On-topic
In my opinion though people cosplay because if they wear the same clothes as the character, they feel as if they are the character, and pretty much like in a manga I've read, it turns them into those characters
though I don't cosplay myself
Having a picture taken with a cosplayer is really fun
(Makes me feel the anime character just came into life ^-^)
And I'm pretty sure the cosplayer is happy as well because he/she is being treated like a celebrity
(Popular Anime characters are celebrity in cons right?)
