The enemy must be vanquished!

Because it doesn't matter what we say to you. We could write a million words, explain it in a thousand different ways - things we have done, BTW - but because YOU have never experienced it, you're going to continue to say it doesn't happen/isn't a problem. Instead of sitting back, listening, and realizing that your

Whoa whoa whoa.... Are you telling me that when I tell someone to go eat a bag of dicks, I can give them an address where to go do it? I've been given the greatest of gifts today.

It's about objectification. They want women to be dressed up provocatively, but they don't want those women to be people. They want something that exists for no other reason than to cater to their fantasies.

I think it says something about the US when the Satanic Temple is the only one making and sense.

How dare women push back against harassment!? It might make men feel insecure! Who cares how being harassed makes the victim feel?

Heroes of Cosplay? Yeah...that show had major problems. I'm not sure I know of anyone in the cosplaying or con community who actually liked it.

You're right. We do enjoy returning because we refuse to quit enjoying our favorite hobbies and interests just because to a fair portion of the 130k that went when I did last year might think cosplay = free-for-all groping and harassment. Nobody is saying that the problem is with the convention itself, but that it is

I hate that they assume the only attention women care for is sexual. These women want attention for their craft and for their dedication to the characters they are portraying. YOUR HAPPY BONER DOES NOT VALIDATE THEIR EXISTENCE.

Good question...! On the one hand, recent years have made it way more acceptable to be a Geek Gone Wild than it used to be, in the first place, so there's more visible harassment merely by dint of there being more people at these cons than ever before. And there's also the increasing injection of bro culture into geek

Plus, there's the fact that there are precious few female cosplay options that don't involve ultra sexy and revealing outfits . . .

I move to institute the Ellen Ripley Rule: Compliment a female cosplayer just like you would a male cosplayer ("great workmanship!" "nice, [obscure character, nerd nod of recognition]") and you'll probably be fine.

The justification people often use is if she chose a revealing costume, obviously she wants the attention. But what people don't get is, of course everyone wants attention for their costume, but attention is not sexual harassment! Cosplayers work hard on these costumes, and the average cosplayer isn't doing it for

You know, I have to wonder if this footage snuck out in order to gauge interest in the project. To that studio: WE ARE TOTALLY GODDAMN INTERESTED. PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU.

I hope it starts with a pissed-off Deadpool heckling "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in a movie theater.

And, for the retirees, Embroidering Deadpool

She slept with the phone under her pillow, and went back to sleep when she smelled burning?

OH GOD OH GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH GOD GOD OH MY GOD

This gif makes my blood boil. Why do the adults just stand there and let the kid try to toss kitty into the pool? I mean, good for kitty, for getting the fuck outta there, but the adult humans were just going to let it happen. WTF is wrong with people?

The NFL kind of reminds of those dudes who say they "love women" because they love to have sex with them.
