Hi, I'm Kayn Siren. I'm a cosplayer,
0:03
egirl, and a game developer. What's your
0:07
biggest income source? Subs, tips, or
0:09
customs? Um, I guess it depends on if
0:12
I'm at a con versus if I'm just doing
0:15
Only Fans work at home. So, for Only
0:17
Fans work, it would be customs for sure.
0:20
And then at Cons, it's definitely the
0:21
tips. Have you collaborated with any
0:24
other uh creators? And absolutely, I've
0:27
worked with a bunch of creators. Uh, I
0:29
mostly do shoots with my girlfriends and
0:32
um just at random cons. I work with new
0:37
girls all the time. How do you handle
0:39
hate or negative comments? Um, it's
0:43
always discouraging when you see them,
0:44
but over the years I've kind of gotten
0:46
used to just like filtering out the
0:49
negative um like comments. I'm trying to
0:53
think of a different word. But uh at
0:55
this point, if they're there, they're
0:57
there. I know they're going to exist,
0:58
but I just don't let it get to me
1:00
because I have so many positive people
1:02
coming forth and I just try to focus on
1:05
um you know what brings happiness and
1:07
joy and like building up the community
1:09
rather than the people trying to tear it
1:11
down. Do you think cosplay helps you
1:12
build stronger parasocial bonds? Uh
1:16
absolutely. I think it's a really cool
1:17
icebreaker and you get to like learn
1:19
about what people are passionate about
1:21
and and have a way to like just open up
1:23
that conversation and nerd out and just
1:25
like bond in a way that you normally
1:27
wouldn't have known about with somebody
1:29
unless you had that like instant like
1:32
connection. Thank you.
