In general, These appointments obviously do not include physical contact, but that it is about the winner spending the rest of his time in the convention (or a previously defined time) accompanied by the cosplayer.

However, these types of dynamics generally become a trend on the Internet.

The girls in question are asked to dance on stage and answer some questions to enchant the spectators, and then the auction in question is asked.

Obviously there are denigrating comments towards the physical appearance of many of these girls, something with which we obviously do not agree, but His vital charisma is also criticized on stage, mainly denoted because some of them do not even smile towards the public or had no choreography prepared to presentwhich makes them move very disappointing.

And so we arrive at what brings us together today, since a series of Videos in Tiktok of one of these dynamics recently became a trend.

The videos series showed both the auditions and girls’ auctions, showing that there was enough participation, but also Many moments that became memes because of the crying that caused at the audience.
