10 Things About Doctor Who That Seem To Confuse Non-Fans
2. Cosplaying
If naysayers can't get their heads around the characters themselves, you can't expect them to understand why fans would want to spend their spare time wearing their clothes. When you put it like that, it does sound pretty weird. In reality, though, cosplaying is a unique pastime that you only really get to understand if you've ever partaken in it.
Everyone dresses up for Halloween and this is basically the same thing, only it's all year round and sometimes it's for no other purpose but personal satisfaction. What's more, it brings people together in a way that only dressing up as your favourite characters can and if people are having fun and temporarily forgetting their real-life woes in the process, there really isn't an issue.
It's only ever really a problem for those bitter old ninnymuggins of society who get pleasure out of ruining other people's enjoyment but in a room full of makeshift Doctors, companions and even the odd Dalek to boot, they would be the loser. Cosplaying isn't for everyone but Doctor Who fans aren't forcing you to take part in it so you've only got yourself to blame if it bothers you.
