Damn it all..
You're yelling at the wrong people again. This is the problem with any movement.

There are tons of men at any given convention and most of them are so polite and well behaved that you don't even notice them. They mind their own business. They keep their creepy thoughts to themselves. They only use appropriate compliments when praising your costume.

Same goes for women. Plenty of girls won't glomp you out of no where or grab at your shit or tell you to kiss that other cosplayer because that's their OTP, or whatever.

Here's the really fucked up thing: Creepers don't fucking get it. They are socially retarded. They think what they are doing is fine. They think when you scorn them or insult them that you're some stuck up bitch or some meathead dudebro who doesn't get their pure intentions. They bitch and moan about the friendzone while guffawing about how great it is to be a trilby-wearing (it's not a fucking fedora. It's a trilby) atheist is as they simultaneously browse tvtropes and rebbit at the same time.

This is like trying to solve societies issues with sexism and the gender double standard by bitching about feminism in videogames. You're aiming at the wrong fucking target.

But there's another layer to this clusterfuck that a lot of people purposefully ignore.

Some people do some really dumb shit at conventions and attract the attention of creepers. They think the anime con was a fantastic place to walk around practically naked or flaunt their shit. Yeah, it's entirely the creeper's fault for thinking that this is somehow permitting them to get away with whatever their sick little minds imagine up, but how the fuck can you act like you weren't mentally prepared to interact with complete strangers who might show an interest in you?
