Sexual harassment meme or reality?

[Anonymous No.10785657]

Is Sexual harassment real or just a meme used by cosplayers to try to be funny, it seems like it judging from their pictures.

I never seen anyone get molested. Also it seems like something pretty hard to do given the amount of people and also cameras. Unless your con has open areas where there isn't a lot of people or cameras probability you can get away with it.

It's mostly for the autistic people who have no personal space awareness and tend to ramble about inappropriate shit.
Eg. "Oh you are cosplaying Robin yeah I saw that zone flash and Jerked off like 20 times, hey can I take a photo with you" then acts all handsy.
You as a con goer typically dont hear about it, however con staff security has to deal with about a dozen or so cases.

complete meme used by cosplayers trying to get more fans/likes/etc. or used by other cosplayers as a form of jealousy/getting back at other cosplayers.

in the 10+ years of going to cons (houston, austin, san antonio, el paso, louisiana) i have never seen any cops taking anyone out, or cosplayer calling a volunteer/worker to deal with a fan/creeper. what i have seen is a lot of cosplayers hugging and putting their arms around fans, even kissing, sitting on them/stepping on them (the paul feig lying down and being stepped on by females).

It happens. Unfortunately these days it's blown waaaayyy our of proportion (See. Hugh Mungus)

Alot of cosplay girls are STARVING for attention from social media, so they will take any excuse in the book to try and go viral, even if it means lying or exaggerating.

Some guy in passing will be like

>Yo that cosplay makes your boobs look nice, haha.

Which is a scummy thing to say, sure. But it is not sexual assault or harassment (unless he is just...following you and doing it for hours or some shit.)

But these girls will take a passing comment like that and turn it into a 4 page long twitlonger about "how I was assaulted at this convention!!"

(See. Tana Mongeau)

It makes normal girls like me furious because when ACTUAL assault and harassment happens, people are less inclined to believe it, because these attention seekers have cheapened it so damn much.

[Anonymous No.10786006]

>>10785944
Did staff before and can confirm it is a thing but the amount of screaming online is often more overblown to being pic related. Which is funny because the story behind this comic is generally what con stories are, some white knights or 'friends' trying to stick up for someone when they misread the atmosphere. I don't exactly know what con you had reports every hour at, seems very high to me, but a few reports a day is about right.

To answer OP's question: it's a reality but also a meme due to just how many times it's simply 'shit that totally happeend.txt'. I don't recall how many times that something 'totally literally just actually happened' only for the main focus to be getting said person banned from the con and not to escalate it to police. Generally those are the easy spot fakes and yes I am aware everyone can act differently but it's odd that you have a simple objective like that out of something so big just occurring.

>>10786005
It totally can, but not in the way the internet or 4chan thinks. 40 y/o boomer going to an 18 y/o going "looking good in that bathing suit girl' thinking he still has it and making catty comments is. Saying "nice costume looks great" isn't but you just know someone itching for drama will twist that.

The best advice to be given here is just report it as soon as it happens, file any documentation you can, and take it from there. Shit like SA gets increasingly difficult to down right impossible to prove the longer you wait, and no cops aren't like CSI: miami. They will not look all that hard into something that happened +6 moths ago with someone called a "deku cosplayer" who's name you think was ted and lived somewhere in the state (maybe).

Cat calling can be considered it if it continues after being told unwelcome or the individual told to stop and persists. Depends on the state however as laws vary from place to place, people interpenetrate it differently, context and body language can matter, etc etc. There really is no blanket line in the sand unfortunately to what SA can be classified is compared to a slew of other things

well judges actually take the situation into consideration and despite what anons think, being in a cosplay is for attention of some kind, wanted or not. and i doubt a judge will care that a revealing cosplay isn't from a hentai or not if you're there for photos or something. also, i am ONLY talking about comments, which aren't considered sexual harassment unless it's considered harassment in general, which is a legal term, no one should be touching others inappropriately.

[Anonymous No.10786025]

>>10786012
Harassment can mean a lot of things to a lot of people such as unwanted or unwelcome interactions physical or non physical, some states it must be stated by an individual to cease some do not have this requirement. Like I said there is no blanket statement, but yes generally there is limit to it after initial contact between two parties. Depending if it crosses the line from normal harassment to sexual is a can of worms that isn't worth diving into on a mongolian basket forum.

>Judge
By the time any case would even get there between two parties an absolutely heavy amount of proof needs to be established and we are talking hard proof. It's often far easier for the establishment to ban the individual in question if they can get some solid video or audio proof by their cameras or staff witnessing it, then issue a trespassers notice to said individual to leave. Following this, if the individual in question violates that it's an easy toss up to the cops then investigate the cause of said notice/warrant, and go from there to a court.

I agree the term gets quite fluid in it's meanings to the point of losing it's own meaning, but it varies by state. The best advice though is to just report to staff issues you have and ensure you let the individual know ahead of time that their presence or actions were unwelcome in a clear manner. If you don't tell the individual or document it with staff or a third party, you end up with a game of he said she said.

This is a ridiculous way to define things as there is no possible way to 100% know what will and won't make someone "uncomfortable" or be "unwanted" before the fact. All this kind of thing does is make it so normal human interactions become stepping on eggshells and lump in people who are genuinely harmful degenerates with normal people. Both these things just make people angry and less likely to care about actual harassment. It's a purposely vague and hypocritical way of thinking meant to control people and not actually help the victims it claims to.

Like most matters of "sexual harassment", it happens but is very rare. Most of the stories told are either made up, embellished, or didn't actually involve harassment but rather just someone being "creepy", ie nothing.

Some women enjoy being victims because it confers the perks of victimhood: sympathy, clout, attention and, most of all, status as someone beautiful and desired enough to be harassed.

I agree with this. Women do get the worst end of it but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen to men as well. The biggest difference is because since it's more common for men than women to be touch-starved and not given compliments on their physical aspects, most men show that they are happy to get this kind of attention so it creates a socially accepted habit for women to do. Whereas on the opposite end, it happens so much to women starting from childhood that most are quick to snap at any physical or sexual contact and make it publicly known it isn't wanted. And so, society adjusts accordingly.

In conclusion, men need to put away their pride and make it known if someone is touching them or speaking to them in a way they don't like. The more men do this, the more society will adjust accordingly. But good luck telling the shirtless buff cosplay dude that's letting a bunch of girls grab his ass and tits that. Men can only tell other men about this because if I said it, I'd just be called a bitch and prude. So it's up to you guys to fix it.

I will never sexually harass someone simply because I was trained to not want sex and disregard it, as I am a man and I have to go through another whole process that involves consent in all steps just to have sex.

My girlfriend went in a pretty skimpy cosplay once and I told her if she got harassed or assaulted than she deserved it for wearing something like that to a convention. She got groped in the first 30 minutes of being in that convention and immediately took off her cosplay right after.

Most of it is preventative. Like telling people not to glomp strangers or reminding people that they need to shower and use soap. 99% of con-goers know not to try and molest someone in public, but there's still that minority that needs to be tutted and told
>you fucking stink and also keep your hands off women.
>No one wants to be touched by you.

It does happen. I've had a girl straight up, full hand, grab my junk, but I wasn't even in some sexy cosplay. It was a goddamned Naruto cosplay I'm not even that good looking. Some people are just fucking retards and think that a convention is a great place to be flirty and then they start drinking and doing any drugs they can get their hands on and think
>I'm gonna really impress this cosplayer with my confidence by just GETTIN IN THERE LIKE AN ALPHA MALE and then maybe I'll get laid at a convention like I think everyone else does!!
And it's usually some ugly, homely loser who doesn't groom themselves and has zero self-awareness, so they become the one creepy guy story for that cosplayer. Someone who had hundreds of photos taken that day and interacted with and passed by thousands of people, but one guy was a retarded creep, so it becomes this hysterical exaggeration that implies that the majority of con attendees somehow didn't know that you aren't supposed to grope cosplayers.

Yes.
Women are the worst culprits, sexually harassing every man who comes within line-of-sight to their whore-ish outfits.
These thots are dressing to get attention. It's only "harassment" when an unattractive man gives them attention.
This is female nature, unchecked. They WANT to be raped, just not by neck-beards.

If you're attractive and desirable, most women will treat uninvited attention as flattery and flirting. If you're an ugly autist who stinks like a stale poopsock, women will treat any attention from you as unwanted creeper behavior or sexual harassment.

Lots of women do need to get themselves off the fucking pedestal they put themselves on, but I get it. I've worked at a gamestop and I've dealt with the giga-autists who tell you which Sonic the Hedgehog characters they want to fuck, or the massively obese mouth-breather who will literally spend hours blabbering on about some stupid bullshit, because they mistake polite smalltalk as genuine friendly interest.

No, we CAN and DO treat behavior differently depending on the setting. Our expectations of what is respectful behavior is probably affected most by the setting, e.g. this remark is tolerated at a party or con but it's not okay for the office.

>Out of all respondents, 59 percent said they felt sexual harassment was a problem in comics and 25 percent said they had been sexually harassed in the industry. The harassment varied: while in the workplace or at work events, respondents were more likely to suffer disparaging comments about their gender, sexual orientation, or race. At conventions, respondents were more likely to be photographed against their wishes. Thirteen percent reported having unwanted comments of a sexual nature made about them at conventions—and eight percent of people of all genders reported they had been groped, assaulted, or raped at a comic convention.

It depends. From personal experience, things tend to be a bit better nowadays VS 10 years ago when "glomping" and chest groping were seen as "socially awkward but kawaii desu" and "quirky". Also cons where there's a lot more room tend to feel a bit safer. Most of the sexual harassment I'd get came from crowded dealers halls where people were shoved together and some grimier people would use it as an opportunity to grope/up-skirt/kiss shoulders/thrust into your back.

I think the Cosplay != Consent movement honestly helped a bit though I do think it's a bit overdone nowadays and deters some people from going to cons/gives the community a bad name.

There was no "movement" nonnie. Nobody who cared about consent and avoiding sexual assault came to that conclusion because a con put up a sign with a cutesy rhyme.

I'm a man and some random dude kissed me on the cheek, then ran off at nighttime. It was at a larger convention and I was not even in cosplay. Just going to be more statistically probable that there are some creepy people when there are more people gathered. I'd be willing to bet, that just like with all crime, it's a very small percent of people attending that actually commit the assaults/harassment. It's definitely not a meme though, just blown out of proportion to the point where some people think literally 90% of the guys there are creeps.

Guy here. Yeah, it really does happen. I'm sure that a lot of it is exaggerated, but I also think a surprising amount of it is likely to be real. I say this because I witnessed it firsthand. Some gigafat approached my ex when she was wearing Tamamo cosplay and made a very off-color comment to her about her tits being enormous. This all happened in front of me, so it's not bullshit, and I feel bad that she had to deal with that. That being said-- while I was outraged on her behalf at the time-- this is admittedly the price you pay for dressing like a complete whore in a den full of socially awkward losers. And I want to make something very clear: People are allowed to be offensively socially awkward, especially at conventions. In fact, anime conventions wouldn't exist without those people, because anime conventions were invented by those people. I wish we could just kill every single person who is overweight, or has autism, but we can't. To that end, the lack of self-awareness or even basic, common sense from the "women" (ie: oversized, female children) involved in this ""movement"" is completely ridiculous. To borrow an analogy, you can't simply walk into Mordor (least of all, naked) and tell the orcs to start behaving themselves or kill them all, it doesn't work that way. Don't want to deal with orcs? Okay, then go make your own convention, with your own, dogmatic rules, and turn away every single fatso that comes in through your doors. But until you can do that, then at least stop paying tribute to Saruman. Oh, you won't do that because you want to keep engaging in what functionally amounts to exhibitionism without any of the bukakke or social consequences? Then you are the fucking problem. Stop fucking complaining, people with brains are tired of listening to you.

idk what onlyfans girls "at least have", but being a whore irl is a billion times more dignified than being a whore on the internet

[Anonymous No.10818513]

It happens, and that much is an undeniable fact. The degree to which it's reported happening is violently overblown, however, and there is an unquestionable amount of bad faith actors and vendettas against individuals that will make them throw out accusatory statements and slander or just anything to generate victimhood for themselves to garner positive attention and hostile defensiveness from their surrounding clique. Several men I know have been accused of hooking up with people when they were underaged, only for it to be verifiable that they were of-age. Several women I know have been accused of groping people at conventions they never attended. Many high profile harassment cases have been shown to be pure smoke in my local community and resulted in lots of people being ostracized.

I personally wouldn't put too much stock in it if not for the fact that when the big R-word gets tossed around, you can ruin the future of someone who has never done anything wrong even if they outright prove they have never done anything wrong. If you have truly been a victim of actual sexual assault, please speak out and please be clear and please lay out what happened. If you are looking to turn heads to you out of pity because your friends are all off having a good time and you're isolated, please find another way to get this other than stirring this specific pot ever further.

Every girl that claims false rape is a piece of shit and deserves anything she gets. Ive seen it happen way too much without any kind of consequence to the accuser. She gets off scotfree except sometimes pissing off the friend group of the guy she falsely accuses. Shit's fucked. It's worse in the cosplay community cause most of these girls get off on getting the attention being a victim gives you. The only time in their sad lives anyone even gives them any kind of care.

Sorta, sorta not. A lot of times it's basically just from aspies being gross during their only major social interaction all year. And a lot of other times it's girls humblebragging and/or exaggerating. It definitely does happen, but probably not excessively more than any other social situation like say a concert.

Also it doesn't help that most of these cons are founded or run by socially inept nerds who suddenly have status and power that get proceed to get drunk on.

As someone who worked in con ops for 5 years I can tell you that these incidents do indeed happen. Never should but they do.
The con I was working ops for had between 8-10k attendees while I was working there. We usually had over 100 complaints per year but tended to pull less than 20 badges due to them. A one-off complaint didn't warrant putting resources into it. However if an individual was identified with 3 or more complaints we would send out a notice to security and volunteers.
One year we did have a guy who was grabbing cosplayer's asses when taking pictures with them. We caught him on camera groping a 15 y/o girl and turned him over to the police with the evidence. Dude got put on the sex offender registry for sexually assaulting a minor.
Most shenanigans can get ended with just a warning but remember we also have contractual obligations to the venue and security deposits to worry about. We're also volunteers. We aren't making money running these events.
The goal is to make a fun and safe event that grows year after year. The venues are only in it to make money. If you cause problems between those two interests you need to be removed.

China is overpopulated, as is India. It wont be a problem for a long time. However the only reason it is not more serious in the U.S is that we have a high immigration influx. But soon this place will be filled with nothing but Asians and Mexicans, but who cars I guess.

[Anonymous No.10831587]

It's not about overpopulation. It's more about work force. With more aging and retired population less birth rate means in near future there's not enough tax paying workforce to support the elderly population and building/fixing infrastructures.
So the country may collapse under its own weight.
Also don't say USA is safe. Even with immigrants flowing in some works still goes unfulfilled. For example USA is having truck driver shortage right now. Young people found out that the pay is lackluster, the hours are crappy (due to said shortage) and most employers treat them like crap (there's reddit posts dedicated to tell the stories about the nightmare that is truck driving) so most of them jump ship immediately the moment they have enough money or better job offer.
Even without National level heathcare service USA still have one of the biggest elderly population in their nation.

I dont get the problem though. "Everyone is raping me" maniacs are obviously out there if its real or not and they are pretty easy to spot.
So why just dont interact with them? If you see a sign or a skinnyfat slut in skimpy outfit just completely ignore them, if they talk to you first which probably never happens because they are the attention seekers then politely tell them you do not wish to talk to them. Its that easy. The best way to kill attention whores is not feeding them attention so they leave for another place with better hunting grounds. They are anglerfish and you are the sardine which gets chomped because the lure shined so bright and you just had to swim to it.
You A: End the borderline disorder menace that infested this hobby.
B: Protect yourself.
C: Make it possible for actual sexual harassment to be called out without drama.
Also all you win if you dont ignore them is at best a pic of a slut in a slut outfit that you could get on the internet without risk and the persisting smell of crusty makeup in your nose. I just dont see the profit here.

At first I was like "Why so many women creating false accusation of sexual harassment in cosplay community" then suddenly it hit me, women who cosplay are either superfans or attention seekers. Attention seekers can cross the line as long they get their dose of attention and right now with nerd culture became so popular, there's more attention seekers than actual superfans.

What saddened me, I'm and oldfag who loves anime and many things nerdy since the 90s. Back then I felt very lonely and hope that one day there's acceptance for this hobby. Fast forward to today, sure we got acceptance, but posers are now overshadowing real fans.

So the main issse is that these minority group are loud, and to not cause friction or controversary, everyone goes along with it or else they'll go complain on social media that x convention was sexist and rapist.

It exists, but in the cosplay world you're dealing with a lot of scenes that were specifically established by mostly-male nerds with poor social skills. A lot of them mean well but don't have a clear sense of boundaries; some of those will jump on what appears to their judgment to be an invitation to clumsily flirt. Gray-area boundaries are a recipe for disaster with that crowd.

>>10785805
>Alot of cosplay girls are STARVING for attention from social media, so they will take any excuse in the book to try and go viral, even if it means lying or exaggerating.
This too. Or instead of lying about being harassed, they'll invite it for the attention, only to turn around and insist on better behavior from the next person. Worse, this makes the male nerds who witness or hear about the incident get mad that the purported rules can be turned on and off at will, which isn't fair for men who don't have a good grasp of unspoken social skills to begin with. If you tell a bunch of male nerds not to comment on a cosplay girl's boobs, 99% of them will get it. If you tell them that, but then make an exception when a socially-savvy man correctly reads that a cosplay girl is inviting such a comment from him, personally, the rest of the men will correctly decide that the rule isn't really a rule and will start using their (often poorly-developed) social skills to try to become exceptions to the rule, too.
