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.
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.
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.
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
Yeah, nothing inherently sexual costumes from Kill La Kill, the sweatiest, horniest anime of all time. Great point, dude, great point.
I've never seen it and I don't need to, doesn't matter how horny you think the anime is the costume is no different from common swimwear and your inability to be normal about it indictates clearly that you are the problem in this scenario
Yeah, again, can just copy paste:
There is nothing inherently sexual about this outfit either, or complete nudity, copying and pasting the same moronic shit isn't going to change that, you are the problem
There is sexual and non-sexual nudity, but social norms and circumstances dictate when we find something sexual and when we don't. If you don't see any outfit as inherently sexual, that sounds more like somethings going on with you that you need to explore, but that's gonna need to be a personal journey.
Social norms do not dictate anything, you are choosing to sexualize those things and you could choose to stop whenever you want, you are the problem
No, you're conflating sexual objectification and sexualization. Objectifying someone is an internal process of viewing another person (or yourself) as a sexual non-person. Sexualization is just how something becomes sexual. Nudity isn't sexual, but if you pose nude in a sexually suggestive manner, you've sexualized it. I don't know who told you that sexuality was an entirely internal, subjective process, but they were wrong.
Your arousal is your problem, there's nothing wrong with the costume, if you can't be fucking normal about it then you are absolutely not welcome at cons
I literally said in my first comment that sexual cosplay is not an invitation for harassment. All I said was that I think this costume was a bit too sexual for an all-ages event. Calling me a creep won't cover up the fact that you fundamentally don't understand what sexualization is.
You did say that cosplay isn't consent, and then you went on to post dozens of comments undermining your original statement with the assertion that your subjective reaction to someone being attractive is somehow a reflection of an inherent sexual element to their body and/or outfit. There is nothing inherently sexual about revealing clothing or nudity, your misguided belief otherwise is 100% puritanical nonsense, the fact that you acknowledge that a similar outfit at a beach would not be inherently sexual proves that you're capable of not hlbeing fucking weird about it some of the time, so literally just do that all the time and stop making your arousal everyone else's problem. It's really just that simple.
Literally no one has brought up attractiveness or arousal except you. You've made up an imaginary person to argue with because you've misinterpreted the fact that people can internally sexualize something to mean that all sexualization is an internal process, and honestly, the imaginary person you've invented says a lot about you.
Just because you haven't used those specific words doesn't make it any less obvious that you're talking about the same thing, you're resorting to weasely semantic bullshit to defend yourself because you've got nothing better, quit being a creep
LOL, keep projecting, dork.
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
