recently, a netizen posted on a social platform that he saw a suggestion on the sichuan government platform to "rectify cosplay (reporter's note: role-playing) and save teenagers." in response to the suggestion that "subway security should refuse to allow cosplayers (reporter's note: role-playing people) wearing strange costumes to ride," chengdu metro operation co., ltd. replied, "according to relevant regulations, wearing anime costumes is not prohibited." on the 29th, a reporter from upstream news consulted chengdu metro operation co., ltd. about this. the staff said that there is indeed no clear restriction on riding, but it is also recommended that cosplayers should not wear exaggerated costumes or makeup to avoid affecting other passengers.

the reporter saw on the sichuan government platform that on the morning of august 6, a netizen posted a message titled "cleaning up coplay, saving teenagers": "in recent years, as various local institutions, businesses and individuals have held so-called comic exhibitions, most teenagers have joined, and more and more children have been affected. in tianfu square, subways, and even large shopping malls, so-called cosplayers can be seen everywhere wearing strange clothes, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of teenagers! i hope that the relevant departments can punish the businesses that hold such comic exhibitions, and that subway security will refuse to let people wearing strange costumes ride, etc., so that chengdu can be a pure land!"

on the morning of the 8th, chengdu metro operation co., ltd. made an official reply: "hello, netizen! in response to your inquiry, after verification, the reply is as follows: according to the "chengdu urban rail transit management regulations" and "chengdu urban rail transit passenger code", the situation of wearing anime costumes that you reported is not prohibited. if you find other passengers' uncivilized behavior during the ride, you can inform the station staff or train patrol personnel in time, and we will stop it in time. the above situation has been contacted to you at 17:00 on august 6, 2024. you are satisfied. thank you for your understanding and support for chengdu's rail transit business!"

the netizen's suggestion sparked heated discussions on multiple social media platforms. many netizens expressed their confusion, saying, "my son likes to watch comic exhibitions and buy millet. i think it's a good hobby, but why should it be cancelled just because some people don't like it?" "here's a word of advice for you: take care of yourself" and "don't make loud noises, just don't disturb the lives of normal people." however, some netizens expressed their support, saying, "support diversity, but be wary of people doing bad things in the name of multiculturalism" and "some cosplayers' costumes are really scary"...

on the 29th, a reporter from upstream news checked the official website of chengdu metro and found that the "prohibited behaviors in rail transit facilities" on the "passenger services" page clearly prohibits behaviors such as playing, lying down, begging, setting up stalls, and riding balance bikes, but does not explicitly prohibit cosplayers from riding the subway. the relevant regulations of the "chengdu urban rail transit passenger code" on the official website of the chengdu transportation bureau do not have any relevant prohibitions.

on the 29th, a staff member of chengdu metro operation co., ltd. said: "at present, there is no clear restriction on passengers wearing cosplay on the chengdu metro, but it is recommended not to wear too exaggerated costumes or makeup. because public transportation is common, after all, there are elderly people, children and other passengers, so it is okay not to wear too exaggerated costumes. there are toilets in our subway stations, and you can adjust your costumes or makeup if necessary."

in october 2023, guangzhou metro banned people with scary images from entering the station, which became a hot topic.

the reporter searched and found that there are many news reports about the subway banning exaggerated cosplay costumes. in october 2023, according to the yangcheng evening news, the guangzhou metro banned the entry of horror images and became a hot search. the staff said that according to article 13 (9) of the "guangzhou urban rail transit passenger code", "barefoot, shirtless, disheveled, or makeup and costumes that easily cause discomfort or panic to others" are prohibited. "these passengers went to the amusement park to participate in halloween activities. their costumes are quite scary. they need to be dealt with before entering the station to avoid affecting other passengers." the guangzhou public transportation police also issued a reminder: please do not wear "horror" makeup or dress up as "ghosts" to take the subway or engage in "performance art" in the subway during the "holiday" to avoid causing discomfort and panic to other passengers. those who do not listen to the dissuasion or cause adverse consequences to public order and public safety will be dealt with by the public security organs in accordance with the law.

a similar situation has also occurred in chengdu. in october 2017, according to chengdu business daily, a piece of news titled "'zombies' appeared on the subway. chengdu metro: say no to such behavior" also attracted attention from the outside world. at that time, on chengdu metro line 2 heading to longquanyi, actors dressed up as brides of death, vampires and other characters boarded the subway, sparking heated discussions. at that time, the official weibo account of chengdu metro responded quickly, "'zombies' appeared on the subway, scaring the passengers and hurting civilization. this kind of immoral behavior on the subway not only scares the passengers, but also hurts the civilization of this city. for such behavior, chengdu metro firmly says no!"

in this regard, netizens also discussed a lot. supporters said: "you are happy, but are you responsible if others are scared? what's more, there are children and elderly people on the subway." "i think it's ok to celebrate the festival, but it's best not to go to the subway. it will really scare the elderly and children." of course, there are also many people who think it's "not a big deal". "how does this affect order? how to dress is a personal preference. it's neither illegal nor moral." "it's people's freedom to dress how they want. if you are afraid of being scared, just take a taxi." at that time, in the netizen vote initiated by chengdu business daily, 32% thought it was "acceptable", 33% thought it was "against public morality", and 33% thought it was "careful about the occasion".
