so if you went to AWA in the early years you might remember Alisa-chan. I think she was a Sailor Moon at AWA 2 or 3. She and her boyfriend Derek - you know, foam-hair Dragonball cosplayer Derek, angry holler-at-security-guard-late-Sunday-night Derek, internet-meme Derek - they did a lot of cosplay at a lot of cons and segued away from anime cosplay to super hero cosplay.

Anyway if you've been wondering what Alisa was up to, well, she and Derek are splitsville and she married another guy and that guy is a white supremacist and she and her Hitler-hubby were at the Charlottesville rally two weekends back, marching and hollering "Jews Will Not Replace Us."

Trust me honey, the Jews don't want what you got.

So because this is 2017 everything everybody does is all over social media and social media users were like, holy crap, that's Alisa. And Alisa, or Alyssa, or whatever, she was like, oh yeah, we were at the rally, on the side of the Nazi flags. On the side of the guy that murdered a woman. So there was some blowback on her FB pages, which have been deleted, and the webmaster of Alisa's sexy cosplay photo page took the whole thing down, and a few nerd news sites have covered the story.

Obviously there's been a lot of discussion among the Class Of 1998 anime nerds. How culpable is Alisa? Is she being manipulated by her husband and her husband's repulsive, hate-damaged pals? Is Alisa a grown adult capable of making her own stupid decisions? Or has she always been kind of, well, easily led? How many more white supremacists are walking among us, heads filled with poison? Something to keep in mind as we swing into fall convention season.

Alisa was kind of the first superstar anime cosplayer, kind of the template for the future photo queens and a target for the dudes with huge lenses who camp out all weekend long to capture their elusive beauty. I've seen her at a few recent AWAs but always outside posing for photos, never inside enjoying the con. If she wants to be a white supremacist she can continue to stay outside the con and be a white supremacist somewhere else.
