So yeah, you don't really explain why you don't think it's cosplay, just that it takes away from the costume because of the mask. If I go down that road, then people who are ugly or fat can't be cosplaying because they're taking away from the quality of the cosplay with one aspect.
>Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure?), short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.
So yeah, you just don't want it to be cosplay because it creeps you out. It's fine to think that it's creepy, but to say it doesn't match the definition of cosplay (which it clearly does btw) just because you don't like it is just wrong (not in a moral sense, but in the sense of you're misdefining the word).
