This was a bad deal.
However.
The guy selling the cosplayer pillows has issued an apology (not the best apology ever, but an apology), he has stopped selling the pillows, he has agreed not to sell them in the future, and he has offered to send the remaining pillows and files to the cosplayers in question at no charge, should they want them.
This seems like a good outcome to me.
I am not one of the people affected, so it’s not my call. But it seems to me that that is a pretty decent outcome.
Good luck to everyone involved. I am glad this man took these steps. Hopefully, this will help reinforce the obvious fact that cosplayers are not property, they’re not action figures.
The good news is, some cosplayers spoke up for themselves and demanded to be treated with respect and it made a difference.
Good.
