I read the whole thing and I'm not seeing any "retarded feminism" here. My mother was smart enough to teach me that you don't ask women about their age, their weight, or their measurements. It's fucking rude.

But good on her for standing up for herself. If there's one thing women need to do more, it's speak up AS IT HAPPENS. I know it's easier said than done in the heat of the moment, but moving on with your night and making some blog post about it three weeks later won't get you anything but e-hugs and gives naysayers something to attack, the ol' "if it bothered you so much you wouldn't have put it off for so long" mantra. Most of the time these sacks of shit'll be too flabbergasted to say something, they might call you a "dumb bitch" or some such but you'll know it's meek vindictiveness and it's much better than being subjected to prolonged harassment.

Does this happen a lot at conventions? If so yes, more women need to speak up.

>> No.6315104

I thought she handled herself well - or atleast according to what she wrote - but I think you need to take the context (comic con), the costume (provocative/sexy, for whatever reason) and the cosplayer (attractive) into account.

I think from what I read between the lines is that it was some Youtube crew trying to be funny (failing), and the harassment the result of sad misjudgment (happens to men all the time) of the situation by them. Obviously they should've stopped when she clearly told them to stop. It's possible that her rejection caused humiliation to the interviewer, who decided to double down (goaded by the other guys), OR it's possible the interviewer apart from being a man was also autistic (more probable in conventions).

However, even though I interpret the situation as having been perhaps more pathetic than threatening, sexual harassment does happen and it can feel demeaning and threatening to women. But as a guy, I have to note that most guys aren't like that at all, and even those who manage to offend women usually don't mean anything bad. We're for the most part clumsy, inexperienced if we're young, and horny (as God intended) which inevitably leads to conflict. This is why I think there should be clear code of conduct and rules as to what is appropriate behaviour (harmless flirting/taking pictures) and what is not (inappropriate suggestions/groping).

I think it's good that she came out with it. I wish the idiots in question would fess up and apologize.

Both. It's perversion of the "normal" code of conduct where males take the initiative. But it is encouraged by the society and also women. Women reward aggressive behaviour. The line between aggressive and predatory can get a bit thin and it's more probable that the line is crossed more often by a minority.

dumb feminist bitch. if she really didn't want to attract sexual attention then she shouldn't have dressed so sexually. BUT ITS COSPLAY ITS NOT HER FAULT THE CHARACTERS ARE SO SEXY. hey you, shut the fuck up there are a LOT of ways to make catwomen look not so revealing like i dont know, how bout a body suit that doesnt expose your msassive tits? any women should know that men like pretty girls and tits. If you're a pretty girl ad got nice tits guys are gonna go up to you a lot more and comment on your tits. simple as that. you should expect it and don't get offended(you are actually DECIDING to get offended). just play along and don't be a bitch. embrace your sexiness and embrace the attention it attracts instead of deciding to get offended and being a bitch. if a sexy (pic related) went to a con as thor for example don't you think girls would be ALL over him and making sexy/flirty comments? OF COURSE THEY WILL. How ridiculous would it be for this man to act all offended and walk away with a scowl on his face?

tl;dr stop being a double standard bitch

Oho point taken ma'am

>>6315120
I don't mean to be sexist, I am just saying that it is a shame ladies need to learn to "speak up for themselves" and "have attitude" when the problem really is that men are fucking assholes to them and can't control themselves. If men had their shit together, women wouldn't have to learn to handle these situations. This sort of stuff is not okay and you can't just put a woman into this kind of situation and be like, "Oh well she needs to handle that she has tits after all".
On a related note:
No sort of clothing excuses that. Even if she were to run around in a bikini, if you call that "asking for it" it just means you think men are unable to control yourself and tbh you should feel offended as a man when people say stuff like that: they imply that you are all naturally rapists with no selfcontrol whatsoever.

Stop. Yes, assholes are assholes, but you are two steps away from an 'asking for it' argument.

As a woman who started getting honked at by passing cars when I was 12 (walking home from school, with a backpack, wearing jeans and a t-shirt), I say there really is no excuse; it's a societal problem. Women get two choices, generally: be the girl who lets it happen, or the bitch who can't have a good time. People need to take responsibility for their own behavior. One person acting poorly is not an excuse for others to join in, nor should it be seen as an invitation for further rude actions.

I agree with this to a certain extent. Of course if you're dressing in a revealing outfit YOU WANT SEXUAL ATTENTION AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT. There is no denying that. Posted girl was dumb and stupid to complain and "make ugly faces" when guys asked to pose with her and made a huge deal out of her tits - that's expected and they are not invading her privacy or personal space.

But the "interviewing" guys? They were downright humiliating her. Making her uncomfortable and not giving a fuck about it because of this mentality you just expressed.

There is a fine line between complimenting someone/giving them sexual attention and groping and invading her personal space (which is wrong, no matter how much you think she was "asking for it").

I hate this sort of sentiment. You act as if 'all women' act in the same way, are treated the same way, and are completely innocent.

You do forget that there are those of us who create the stereotype. There are those of us who make themselves the slut, or the prude bitch, and there are those of us who are neither, aren't treated as a sex object and are just people.

There is no excuse, obviously for men, women, or anyone stereotyping people, acting poorly, or perverting someone in an uncomfortable manner, but we forget that it's not just society, media and 'men' who make other men act this way, it is indeed women as well. Like I said not all, obviously, but there are some, and they are making all other women look bad.

Clothing does not even matter in those situations, my female friend was hit on by a really gross creeper in a train at 8 pm, so it wasn't even that late. She was wearing a black hoodie zipped up all the way and leggings underneath her skirt. "Wearing the wrong clothes" is a poor ass excuse men make up to make women look like sluts.

I might be repeating myself here, but no way of dressing, no outfit, no cleavage, makes this kind of reaction okay. And no one should have to "expect" it. I know we live in that sort of society, but instead of teaching women to cover up and behave in certain ways to avoid being approached like that, how about we teach men instead to act politely and not like fucking assholes towards women?

What is it with cons and making guys think that it's an area for them to be complete sleazeballs in?

A woman wears a low cut top or a short skirt in the everyday world and yeah, some people might stare and she might get hit on a few times, but at cons she has to be careful not to be groped or verbally harassed!

I myself was wearing a tight hero suit at my last con and walking there on a busy street, I got a few catcalls and nothing else, but in the con so many guys would just come up and stare at my boobs or would ask for a picure and grab my ass while we were posing for the camera. Dear lord.

I mean that it should be expected not in the sense that it is appropriate, but that is merely a realistic expectation.

I cosplayed my first somewhat-skimpy outfit at NYCC this year, and wish I had called some guys out.

In the past, I've dealt with awkward lonely nerds of both genders hitting on me (I usually cosplay feminine anime guys, so I'm a target for everyone) but it didn't compare to the blatant sexual creepiness that happened once I showed a bit of midriff.

I don't mind people expressing their attraction to me, or making jokes about gaudy character designs, but don't be a fucking creep about it, because no one wins. It annoys the ladies, and leaves the guys ever still "forever alone".

I also got mildly annoyed at the creepy guys who didn't even know what series I was from. My outfit was a bit simple, so it's not like they were in awe over my cosplay skills or character design. I guess they just wanted to get photographic evidence of hugging a lady showing off her tummy?

But yeah. Social change doesn't happen if people just put up with crummy behaviour. It'll take a while for people to truly get out of the current negative mindset (that it's okay to objectify women in costume), but it's not impossible.

Of course it doesn't help that a few women play up to the trope. I do feel some sympathy for guys sometimes, it must be a bit confusing. Still, the guy in this story is either a douche or an autist since most other guys would have gotten the point a lot earlier on in the story.

Right? I never got this mentality. Are we only allowed to voice our displeasure about things that are a complete and utter surprise? Plus, it's not even like this is some kind of inevitable natural phenomenon, like getting caught in the rain or getting sand between your toes at the beach. It's a purely cultural thing! It's something we can change, provided we don't just throw up our hands and go "WHELP, should've expected that!". Creepy men aren't unpredictable wild animals, they are human beings exhibiting socially unacceptable behaviour. We need to comment on this shit so that people like him stop thinking this shit is okay. All the kudos to this lady.

Aaaand then we are back to the whole dumb idea of women having to dress in a way that prevents creepy behaviour and the whole circle of dumbshit opinions start again. Because: if women didn't dress that way in the first place, CLEARLY provoking the men, the poor men wouldn't have to act like that.

And I am sorry that my reply seemed patronizing.

Just because you hate something doesn't mean you have to be a prick about it. I personally am a misanthrope, I really only love/like my husband for the most part, but hate the rest of the population as a whole as well as society. I will say though that there are certain people that I can tolerate and even consider myself to like. Even so, no one would expect me to hate anyone at all, let alone everyone.

I feel as though things like misandry and misogyny fall in to the same area as misanthropy and are more are about general hate, dislike or untrust, rather than specific hate. Whether it stems from stereotypes, personal preferences, trauma or anything similar is a huge factor as to how any specific person will act. So, while there are some people who will act like a women-hating sexist pig, there are others who you wouldn't be able to guess unless you were told.

I don't know a lot about misogyny. As mentioned before, the only "misogynists" (self-proclaimed) I met in my life were just using that word to be assholes towards women. Usually they'd bring it up in a discussion of why they don't have girlfriends ("Because all women are sluts and I don't want to touch them ewww but I do would like to have a girlfriend it is just that everyones a whore") and were generally dicks. Not the kind of person you can have a rational conversation with.

I see. In that case, I apologize for generalizing on that matter, it was out of line of me, but now I know better. In the past, I never really looked into the subject or misanthropy, misandry and misogyny. I wrongly assumed that it is somewhat similar to just plain hatred, or sexism.

>> No.6315481

>>6315425

>aren't you generalizing women?

Misogyny is merely a general hatred for women, or the opinion that men in general are better than women in general. It is merely the categorization of a general hatred, not a generalization of women altogether.

For example, I may hate the color purple in general- but at the same time I may be of opinion that some things do look better in purple, as opposed to being of opinion that everything associated with purple is by default worse. I would not assume that everything in purple looks bad until the specific article is placed before me and considered upon an individual basis. Although I still do hate purple in general.

But mine is not so much hatred as it is just the opinion that men are better than women- though not that all men are better than all women. There is no other way for me to be a gentleman and not contradict myself than to admit to be a misogynist.

For a large part of people it is hatred or sexism, be it for a specific person or just in general. However there are any number of people who simply define either as part of either the matriarchal or patriarchal ideology respectively. In this case it has more to do with the role of gender in ones idealized society, though, to many people this type of thinking can still be offensive.

I personally can understand the attitude towards either misogynists or misandrists as well as the struggle that women face in trying to create equality in society. I do, however, disagree with anyone who wants to raise one gender over another for any reason. I feel much of the hate for feminists and women in general is the fear that women are trying to create a matriarchal rather than just push for equality.

I feel much hate for similar issues such as race, sexual orientation and the like also create similar feelings.

Thank you for the compliment. I do also understand how backwards and discriminatory that sort of mindset may seem, but I think society really promotes the 'shoot first ask questions later' type of thinking, and not just in gender related issues. Many things regarding age, outer appearance and implied intelligence are treated the same way on a day to day basis but are much of the time overlooked.

It is also completely understandable to be off-put or even saddened by someone who may pre-judge someone based on very superficial factors as well, but like I said before, it's about how you present yourself.

If you act like an asshole, prevent yourself as a misogynist, and show visible hostility and hate towards a woman you are doing nothing but making yourself look like a sexist idiot.

And that's why you educate them. Without being hostile. Most women I've seen having discussions about it have actually been entirely reasonable, unless the guy's going nuts about it and both sides start feeling minimized.

I have actually seen a lot of arguments where both sides insist the other side is implying that male female abuse doesn't matter because female abuse is a problem/female sexual abuse doesn't matter because male abuse is a problem, which is completely retarded. But people tend to get really hostile about gender issues really quickly.

>I might be repeating myself here, but no way of talking, catcalling, no whistling, makes this kind of clothing okay. And no one should have to "expect" it. I know we live in that sort of society, but instead of teaching men to shut up and behave in certain ways to avoid seeing that, how about we teach women instead to dress conservatively and not like fucking sluts towards men?
Yes.
This is exactly how stupid you sound
If you want to walk around with 3/4th of your boobs exposed, hey, that's cool, we live in a society where that's allowed, just don't get upset when people talk about them. Obviously it's inappropriate if you're wearing a normal t-shirt or formal clothing or something but if you don't like people talking to you about your boobs while you have them exposed you tell them to stop or you walk away so they can continue their conversation in private.
In this situation it's a little less black and white because it's a costume, and since the person wearing the costume wears it for ulterior motives(imitating a character), however, I've looked up some of the canon Black Cat art and although the level of cleavage is different sometimes, most of them depict her suit as closing a little above her chest, so i assume that if she didn't want to show cleavage while remaining accurate, she could have, so it was her own choice to show off 2/3 of her tits simply for the sake of showing her tits.

>tl:dr

I'm not calling her a slut or anything but YES you choose a sexualized character it's because you want sexual attention. If you didn't, you wouldn't pick a character that would very obviously bring it.

Except there's no such thing as a "whore's uniform", and even if there was, it's far from being the same as impersonating a cop. Of course if you're dressed as a cop, people expect you to fight crime. You put people in danger if you don't. But "dressing as a whore" doesn't mean you have to suck every dick you see. Prostitutes can still decide not to service a client.

Yes, but people expect you to.

Cops can decide the same. It just means they're not very good at their job.

Why do you show cleavage then?

Seriously, you don't see men showing off their abs, or, I dunno, balls hanging out when they're not actively trying to get pussy.

>> No.6318434

>>6318430
Actually when it comes to cosplay sometimes you do see them showing off abs when it's a part of the costume, that doesn't mean they are actively trying to get laid, maybe they just like the character/dressing up and feeling cool for fun.

>> No.6318442

>>6318434
I dont know were you're getting the part of getting laid from. But i for instance wouldnt throw a fit over a girl saying complimenting my abs, if i chose a cosplay that is revealing i take the consquences of having some undesired attention. That said if someone was to inverview me about my cosplay, i would expect questions on my cosplay if its going to be about my physical shape and trying to get me to do things i feel uncomfortable with i would leave.

This right here is not a "whore's uniform." Honestly, while the way you dress certainly raises the chance of creepers coming to you, if they don't want to be touched, don't do it. Its as simple as that. As long as you get consent, its fine. Don't make excuses or blame it on anyone else, you know better. Don't ask personal questions either, especially ones that everyone on the internet will see.

In my experience with myself and other women we show cleavage/ wear make up, dress sexy - because we want all the attention to prove to other women "I'm the best looking here" but that's it we don't want the creepers that come with it .... it's like a competition between women and for some reason men think it's for them .. no we are just using you to show other women how desirable we can be and how much better we are but that's it ...

and that's what happens at cons girls pick the most attention grabbing cosplays (slutty rule 63 in most cases) to steal any attention away from other women and prove "I'm the hottest cosplay chick here look at how many pictures people are taking and look at how famous I'm becoming"

God, this forced 'explanation' just makes my fucking brain hurt.

Imagine if a group of women were teleported to a foreign planet.

After a few decades it takes to un-condition your fucked-up heads, you would stop dressing like that, since you'd finally notice the lack of cock going in your vaginas.

Yeah I'm sure she's a HUGE fan of the character and has all the comics/figurines to show her love for the character not just by cosplaying it

and I'm sure she didn't just choose this character because it would make her stand out in a crowd of regulars, cosplayers, and booth babes

Why are we always assuming women aren't fans of what they cosplay? Just because they're attractive that makes them less likely to be fans?

>> No.6319319

>>6319098
Whilst it is a forced explanation, very few women do it for male attention (or at least male attention alone). I know a lot of girls who either who already have a boyfriend or are lesbians and who occasionally cosplay revealing stuff because /they do it for themselves/.

There may be a demographic that does do it to one up other women, but I'm not sure that's all that common really.

There are all kinds of reasons one would cosplay revealing characters. Let's see:

>the person wants to attract guys (or girls)
>the person has confidence in their body and is proud enough to show it off
>they like the character

>they do it to get more confidence

As a former test driver, I'd get a kick out of those girls showing up on open test days and race weekends. They would all try (and fail) to get close to their favorite driver. Best part is when they try to run and their heels snap, all but ensuring that they faceplant.

I am aware that's what you said.

Ahem. They don't, no. My point of reference was that I've done a few sexy costumes as well as conservative ones, but I dress in Lolita as well because /I like dressing up, which I do for myself/. A lot of cosplayers are like this, I'm pretty sure of it.

>>6320002
People do though! It's harder than Lolita meets (which happen all the time) because a lot of cosplay is considerably less public friendly. But at the end of the day, big conventions are big draws for people, so of course they're gonna go and cosplay there.
