Cosplay is not Consent (Male Victim harassment stories)
Cosplay is not Consent is a movement to raise awareness about the rising problem of sexual harassment at anime/comic conventions. Please just watch out for each other. Sexual assault happens to both genders.
Anyone can be a victim. It’s time to stand up. Sharing this on all my pages because this is so freaking important. Please watch this video.
This is fucking horrifying.
I was watching this with deep understanding and then I had to pause when he started his worst con experience….
Not sure I can finish it…
But this is an issue that is being brought up on most sides. This poor guy. He seems like a nice dude and no one should have to go through of feel this way. Ugh.
There is a part of me that is secretly relieved when I hear people say they’re too intimidated to approach me in cosplay. On one hand, that breaks my heart, because I’m a total teddy bear - but on the other hand, cons truly scare the hell out of me these days. Anime cons specifically.

Cosplay of the Day: Cherry Darling from Planet Terror
HOW?????
HOLY SHIT WHO IS THIS AMAZING PERSON!?
Fun Fact:
I cosplayed Black Widow and I don’t know anything about her outside of what I’ve seen in the Avengers.
I actually don’t even plan on finding out more about her on the grounds that I sincerely just don’t feel like it.
But I loved that costume and I’m told that I have Scarlet Johansson’s ass, so pardon me if I enjoy rocking that outfit even if it doesn’t live up to your legit nerd girl standards.
Now excuse me while I multi-task between finishing this Film Theory and Criticism take-home exam while watching Beast Wars.
Best fucking Black Widow cosplay EVER.
Wanna know what irks me?
When people cosplay Sae Kurosawa and make the blood on her kimono just a random splatter
ITS A BUTTERFLY WING
Who gives a fuck?
You know what irks me?
When people who dress as nurses from Silent Hill: Homecoming, and when you shine a flashlight on them, you can’t see the baby inside their stomachs.
Also, when people dress in the Hattress costume from Alice Madness Returns, and they don’t have gears spinning in their eyeballs.
Plus, those who dress as ghouls from Fallout don’t give off radiation when you stand really close to them.
And those who dress as Aela the Huntress from Skyrim but can’t turn into a werewolf.
Hot damn does THAT annoy me. Oh boy, do I not like that, not one bit.
“I have a serious crush on Chloe Dykstra for her Aela cosplay.”
THAT’S HER NAME!?
BLESS THIS WONDERFUL COSPLAYER!!
Nightingale Armour Cosplay from Skyrim. So… beautiful ;;

Please vote and please share this with people that you know who attend conventions.
Inspired by the MANY accounts of women who have complained about being harassed at conventions.
I don’t know who she is but she looks like a total boss.
Aela the Huntress.
AKA, one the most badass woman in Skyrim.
Who can turn into a werewolf.
And holy shit, this person is PERFECT.
Cosplay
Just because I’m a cosplayer, and wear crazy costumes, does not give anyone the right to say rude and/or sexually inappropriate things to me. Ever. Doesn’t matter what I’m wearing. It doesn’t matter if these comments are in person or on any form of social media. I will not tolerate it. I do this hobby for fun, for me. Not for anyone else. I won’t sit here and be made into an object because someone can’t keep their mouth shut and never learned how to treat a woman.
Confession: it’s why I’ve only dressed in cosplays that include baggy clothing, because I’m scared of something like this happening. And I am almost done working on a cosplay that includes a skirt and tights, and though I love it, I’m too nervous to wear it.
I’ve been harassed in my Irish dance school’s traditional uniform for God’s sake. I have had old men shove their hands up my skirt, and laugh at me when I stare at them in shock and horror. This cosplay has a shorter skirt, by several inches. I don’t want to be scared away from going to conventions because of people like this…
That is so fucked up. Seriously, it shouldn’t matter what you’re dressed up as. People need to learn to fucking restrain themselves for decency’s sake, regardless of whether she’s wearing baggy clothes, mini skirts, or hardly anything at all.
I don’t want to scare you away from conventions but it doesn’t hurt to really be assertive when it comes to this sort of behavior. People need to learn to respect the boundaries of complete strangers. It’s unfair and thoughtless that they should ruin someone else’s good time just because THEY think it’s funny.
Is it worse that, the reason why I wasn’t assertive with the old man was because it was at a nursing home I was performing at and I wasn’t even 16 yet? You can’t say anything because “old people don’t know any better.”
I want to go to conventions, I really miss going to them. My Hattress cosplay is almost done, I just need to do the arm. But it still makes me nervous, I can’t help it. There’s shitty people in this world, and hearing shitty, scary stories just makes me less and less interested in going to conventions anymore.
