Here some of the skate decks that are available.<br />

content industry heading?<br />

Troy: VR is huge right now, and I think<br />

POV and such will be a direction to<br />

watch, although not much for our<br />

style of content. I do also think there<br />

are fans of direct-delivery and people<br />

who are still very interested in<br />

quality physical goods such as books<br />

and magazines. I think creator content<br />

is on the rise but is also a dangerous<br />

double edged sword as many<br />

jump into the deep end<br />

without research, I see<br />

this a lot with people on<br />

Patreon, not realizing<br />

that once you’re nude<br />

on the internet there’s<br />

no taking it back.<br />

Ed: In your opinion,<br />

what impact do you<br />

think Cosplay Deviants<br />

has had on the greater<br />

cosplay community?<br />

Has it been positive<br />

or negative?<br />

Troy: Cosplay Deviants<br />

has always been<br />

ahead of the curve. We<br />

made nude cosplay content<br />

popular before the<br />

boom and we’ve continued to pioneer<br />

new product integrations to<br />

keep our fans engaged.<br />

While some may think<br />

negatively of us, I like<br />

to honestly believe that<br />

we have not only given<br />

some cosplayers a platform<br />

to express themselves<br />

but also helped<br />

to empower them.<br />

Ed: When a potential model contacts<br />

Cosplay Deviants on being part of the<br />

company, what is the best advice you<br />

could give this person? Or anyone<br />

that wants to get into this industry?<br />

Troy: The biggest things we look for on<br />

application are; Are you a cosplayer?<br />

Being able to look sexy is good but<br />

there is a level of talent required to<br />

stay recognizable as a character. We<br />

also look for confidence. Remember<br />

that there is no going back from being<br />

a nude model, be prepared and do<br />

your research on ways to be safe.<br />

In conclusion, thank you Mr.<br />

Doerner for taking time off from your<br />

busy schedule for this interview. If you<br />
