I'm curious if the name is to lure in jackasses to teach them that identifying as a asian fetishizing term is a horrible idea, or if they're unironically missing the point.  How do you get that far, but not realize anything?

Probably not. Nerds are the worst. I'm phone posting but I have a picture of a discussion panel from Gencon called "Cosplay is not consent" and it was a mediated discussion about how nerds need to back off and respect sexily dressed men/women.

What gets me about the whole "cosplay is not consent" thing is that if you've ever actually been to a Con and seen all the sexy-dressed women in revealing clothes, you'd have to be a borderline sociopath to not immediately see them as human beings in a costume. It's one thing to get aroused from third party footage like a photo or video on your computer the same way you would porn-- there's a dehumanizing barrier that lets fantasy take over--but once you're in person? I mean come the gently caress on. It's not even arousing. Ok at best you have a hard time looking at a girl's face when there's cleavage and an rear end in a thong on display, that's the most leash you can get to be awkward. How on earth do you fail at being socialized that badly?

You're talking about people that go to conventions centered around dressing up as fictional characters. The whole socialized angle goes out the window pretty quickly.

A lot of cosplayers are really chill actually. It's usually the grognard fans that are the problem.

They put up posters now at pretty much every event that involves cosplay. The posters seem to get bigger and bigger every year.

Join us in the cosplay creation thread! Building stuff and then wearing that stuff is fun! Also, don't touch other people without their permission, it's pretty easy to stay within the bounds of acceptable social behavior!

The signs aren't just for creepy dudes, either. There's a weird lack of social awareness/skills with some doing the cosplaying where groping other cosplayers as a "joke" for being your favorite character, related to your cosplay, etc. is considered appropriate to them. A friend of mine who cosplays anime characters has a lot of stories of girls in cosplays from the show her cosplay is from trying to cop a feel or poke her chest because their characters were best friends on the show and did something similar. The creepy dude stories are usually "dude asked to take photo with me, touched my rear end instead of putting his hand on my waist" or "dude took a surprise picture without asking" while the cosplayer stories are more like "girl photobombed a picture by coming up behind me and full-on hand-bra'd my boobs" or "asked to take picture with me, did funny pose from anime where the joke is she pokes the character's boobs because they're big"

thecluckmeme posted:"dude took a surprise picture without asking" I was in a public place and a person took my photo, the monster! I agree with all the other scenarios - not touching people without their permission should go without saying - but if you're standing in a public place then people can take all the photos they loving want.

Every year, I see one person standing like a deer in the headlights being yelled at by a "hacker" in full-on 2-year-old-has-a-tantrum mode, because he took a picture of his friend while the hallway is full of people.

When the photo thing is a problem it's usually in the same vein as if somebody would walk up to a girl in a bikini on the beach and snap a photo of them, only instead of a bikini it's a Cammie cosplay or something. Still creepy.

Yeah. It's not cool to take photos of strangers without asking first. I mean, it's rude to do it to a random on the street, so it's also rude do it to the weirdo dressed as Sephiroth.

Not to be a bad-touch apologist or anything, but for all the wierd gropey nerds there are definitely socially unaware cosplayers who dress in poo poo that would never get a pass under any other circumstance. Your taking a bunch of socially weird neckbeards and cranking things up to 11. Opposite ends of the same spectrum. For the same reason that it would be weird to show up to a convention in pasties and a G-string

Eh he has a point though. You should be able to dress up or cosplay or whatever as a character and have fun but let's be realistic here, if you're practically naked in public you're going to get some unwanted attention. That's just something that is going to happen regardless of your gender.

So, the organizers understand this sort of UNWANTED attention will happen, and use signs to inform the socially retarded would-be gropers to not do it. I don't see what is so bad about a place putting up a "Hey, don't grope people or invade their space" sign in a place where people don't want to be groped of have their space invaded.

Do you honestly think people that behave like that give a poo poo about a sign? I'm not defending it trust me. It's gross and shouldn't happen but realistically it will.
