treating people in ways that make them uncomfortable and justifying it with "well, I'm not breaking the law", hm, yes, this is a way for an adult to behave

again its the fault of the person who dressed themselves because they put themselves in that situation, why can't goons understand that people are responsible for their own actions.

nothing wrong with holding adult responsible for their choices. Unless you think everyone should be treated like children.

yes, but since its both groups fault they should both be faulted, and both parties should be blamed equally.

This argument would make more sense if how you were dressed actually determined the level of harassment you received AND if this affected both men and women instead of almost exclusively women. What you're saying is women have to be responsible for how they dress because men cannot be responsible for how they act.

okay there's no way you actually think this, if you did you wouldn't have worded it in a way that emphasised the irony so much


Trixie Hardcore posted:

What you're saying is that the problem isn't men thinking it's okay to harass & molest women but is actually women having the audacity to be in public where men can harass & molest them. Like, if I don't want a man sticking his hand up my skirt then I shouldn't be wearing a skirt in public is your reasoning or rather, since I've been groped while being covered neck to foot in fabric I should have known better than to go in public if I wanted to have control over how I'm treated.

no he'd probably agree with you that you shouldn't be groped while fully clothed, and I'm betting he'd agree that you shouldn't have a hand put up your skirt. he thinks basically what I said, which is that he feels his rules about which rights you forfeit by wearing certain types of clothing should apply to you because ????.

Things that are ok:

-Taking a picture of someone dressed in a costume without their consent (assuming this is of course a public place like a comic con)
-Looking at someone dressed in a costume without their consent

Things that are not ok:

-Shouting inappropriate things to someone dressed in a costume without their consent
-Touching someone dressed in a costume without their consent

It specifically mentions something like sneaking a pic when a girl is bent over, stuff that is weird and rude even given the costume situation.

Is it too much to ask to just tone this poo poo down a little bit? Like maybe start with not ninja-photo shooting girls' asses? Probably.

how you dress does determine your level of harassment of the way your are dress violates societal norms, and to what degree. It effects women more because they tend to actively choose sexy costumes, where that isn't appropriate.

actively violating societal norms in public has consequences.

I think this could all easily be avoided if we changed comic con to cat party con, and everyone paid for a cat "avatar" to be sent to the con in their place, and then observed the cats through web cams placed around the convention center doing their cat things.

e: can cats consent to this level of observation though?

But what if I want to grope? If I ask first she will probably say no and now she's got her guard up making it more difficult to sneak one in.

Ask her, and if she says no, continue asking other women until one says yes. Odds are good she will consider going further than just groping because she apparently finds something about you attractive. Instead of wasting time making women uncomfortable, you have now had sex. Congrats on not being a creeper who creeps on disinterested women :)

In my interpretation of the manga the entire reason Sailor Mars wears a skirt is because she loves it when strangers try to fingerbang her in a crowd so obviously, officer, I assumed the young woman dressed as Sailor Mars was a fan of the manga and any true fan would enjoy RPing their character.

If you're in a public space, specifically designed to display yourself, consent is implied in the picture you take. If you don't want unsolicited pictures of yourself, don't wear a costume to the costume event. And no this isn't a rape analogy.

And men are being made aware of how their actions make women feel unsafe and grossed out. So now, when those men continue doing the same actions over and over again, they are putting themselves into the situation of being called out as rude, gross people who don't care about making other adults uncomfortable. What's the problem?

Men who act like creeps will be treated as creeps (and this includes being publicly called out as creeps).
