Yeah but that's why context matters. Wearing a bikini at the beach is one thing, wearing it to a job interview is another. I know this line can be blurry with comic book characters since most of them wear fairly revealing outfits, but I would say wearing one of the hyper-sexualized outfits from the anime about high-school girls who get superpowers when their outfits get more sexually explicit is probably too sexual explicit for an all-ages event.

Oh fuck all the way off. Let a woman dress however she wants. If a Luffy or Conan costume is okay, what this woman is wearing is okay too.

Sometimes women like drawing gazes. The point is it should always stop at gazes.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck all the way off with this. There's nothing wrong with wanting to draw gazes, but that doesn't mean every way of doing that is appropriate for every situation. If you want to draw gazes at a dinner party you wear a low-cut black dress, not a mesh tank top and assless chaps.

Stop. Policing. Women’s. Clothes.

She isn’t at a dinner party, she’s at a convention.

What she’s wearing is an accurate and well-done cosplay, and that is 100% appropriate attire for the setting. It would be the equivalent of a ‘low cut black dress’, you sexist asshole.

Edit: Which shouldn’t matter anyways, because cosplay is not consent. A woman should be able to walk around naked in public without getting sexually harassed, never mind while wearing what she likes. Clothes are never consent. No matter if you judge them ‘appropriate’ or not.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's appropriate attire for the setting in your opinion. I think wearing a hyper-sexualized outfit from a hyper-sexualized anime in a situation where children will be present isn't appropriate. You're welcome to disagree, but don't try to high-road me because of it.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you don't like it you're free to stay home with your kids, people take their kids to the beach and see similar and nobody bats an eye, get over it or get lost

I can just copy-past at this point.

A comic convention is not a job interview you fucking moron, there is nothing inherently sexual about nudity or this outfit or a bikini, your inability to be normal about/around attractive people is entirely a you problem

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (13 children)

Yeah, nothing inherently sexual costumes from Kill La Kill, the sweatiest, horniest anime of all time. Great point, dude, great point.

How do you think children will be negatively impacted by nude woman?

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don't think children will be negatively impacted by nudity, but I think they will be negatively impacted by sexualized nudity (and there are a lot of studies that back that up). I wouldn't shield my child from a woman wearing a bikini or breastfeeding, but I also wouldn't bring him to a strip club or show him porn. I think dressing as one of the characters characters from High School Superpowered Sex Uniforms falls into the latter category.

[–] rirus@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Strip Club and porn have a sexual interaction, but here its just a woman running around like all the others in their costumes.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (11 children)

Yes, but an outfit can be inherently sexual. Fetish gear is inherently sexual, even if you're not doing something sexual in it.

[–] rirus@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Little children wouldn't know and understand and would just think "weird or funny costume" But teenagers who know, know it already and thus it isn't a problem.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I think that is true for very young children; my son is less than three, is just developing a concept of gender, and regularly tries to take his clothes off whenever he feels like it. I'd be more concerned with the pre-pubescent ages, around 7 to 10. Studies show that kids around this age, who get exposed to more sexualized content, develop more negative associations, like being more likely to associate a person's worth and their sexual appeal, more likely to sexual objectify themselves or others, and being unable view human beauty out side of sexual attractiveness.

That being said, seeing one girl in a risqué outfit is more likely to lead to an awkward conversation for a parent than anything else, but in my opinion, its probably not healthy for this kind of cosplay to be the norm at comicon if comicon is going to remain an all-ages event. But again, this line is blurry, and it's possible if just become an old prude since having a kid.

Nobody in kill la kill fucks, you're just a creep

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

LOL, you told me in another thread that you've never seen it.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I looked up a plot summary and content rating reviews, the internet is occasionally useful like that lol. I'm right and you know it because you've clearly watched it before, you just don't want to admit it because it undermines your weird argument. Also it's weird that you're a fan of a show that you describe as a bunch of high schoolers in overly sexy outfits

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Actually, I've seen very little of the show. Most of what I do know about it comes from an episode of Death Battle. But it's cool that you walent out and did a bunch of research to keep arguing with me, very normal stuff.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It took all of five minutes of half-assed googling to prove that you're actually just a creep, cry about it

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're old enough to have children of your own and you're pathologically preoccupied with anime of high school girls in skimpy clothes to the point of spending half a day arguing with strangers on the internet about whether their outfits are inherently sexual, the only risk involved in bringing your kids to a convention would be them figuring out that their dad is a fucking creep and losing all respect for you

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

LOL, buddy, I made a comment about how I thought this cosplay was a little too sexual for an all-ages crowd, and you've started two different reply threads and researched an anime you've never watched to tell me about how I'm actually a pervert. There's only one obsessed person here, and it ain't me. Go touch grass, or at least find someone else to project on.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You are a painfully obvious pervert, the best thing you can possibly do for everyone involved is exclude yourself from all conventions, swimming areas, and high schools

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Picks a fight with 5 different people and leaves 20 comments about nudity and sexualization.

"Wow, everyone else is a sex-obsessed pervert."

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not everyone, just you, the grown man getting horny about high schoolers because of what they're wearing

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Buddy, 40% of this comments section is just you yelling at people who just acknowledge that this outfit is sexually suggestive. Get a fucking grip, maybe search, "what is projection."

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You're a creep and bad at math

[–] Iambus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And you are straight up retarded

You're a confidently incorrect dipshit that doesn't know what sexualization means.
