>First con ever, years and years ago
>Be 12ish, maybe 13
>Cosplayed something Yugioh related, I think I running around as Joey
>See a Sasori (Naruto) cosplay
>It's really bad, but being the innocent weeb I was, I was still ecstatic to see one of my favorite characters around anyway
>Walk up to him asking for photo
>Guy turns around to look at me
>He scoffs. Is he in fucking character?
>Fucking grabs my neck and squeezes it really hard, pushing me back as he does
>I'm obviously struggling to breathe, but the shock made it hard to react
>His friends tell him to cut it out after they notice I'm obviously freaking the fuck out
>Lets go of me

I didn't even get a photo. I can't ask people for photos anymore because the entire thing scared the hell out of me.

I should've told security but it was my first con and I had no idea how anything worked. I just ran away with my tail between my legs.
