Very true, childish behavior, specially by decision makers, is the bane of society (always has been). Cosplaying by adults should be the least of our worries, and besides it isn't even a recent phenonema (at least not for men): carnival, secret cults, religious ceremonies.

Attending a masquerade was a sign of high society — all the way up to royalty.

I’m confused how that’s fundamentally different than cosplay at a convention.
