Wearing a cosplay costume, at an inappropriate time/place, to tick off someone you dislike, instead of having a verbal confrontation with them. It works best when used on people who are too stupid to get your reference. Passive aggressive cosplay can be used as an effective form of non-verbal protest.

Cosplay

Yeah, like that guy who said he would shoot up a school and then was reported to the police, the police and FBI both did nothing, and then he shot up a school. That's exactly what people thought when the guy did the thing you're saying people don't do.
Hym "Everything is cosplay. You don't take other people's lives seriously. You barely take your of life seriously. And this is entirely the fault of religious preconditioning. It's entirely a coping mechanism to detract from the fact that I can just murder your kids. You will not get away with what you're doing to me."
