Comic con

[EIngerson]

I I heard in the news there were several issues at Comic Con in San Diego. I keyed in on one. It was stated that some people at Comic Con had issues with their photos being taken and it was presented in a lump sum of complaints of sexual harassment.


I'm going to remove the fact that I am a photographer from the equation and speak as if I am a costume clad patron of this gala event.

I would know and understand that a convention center is a public place and the purpose of Comic Con is to display and publicize these fictional characters and the lifestyle that goes along with it.

Now the photographer in me must come out. If you dress up in a vibrant display of your favorite comic book character and go to an event such as Comic Con. I am going to take your photograph (probably many times) and consider you being there as your expressed permission for me to do so. I can't believe that someone would would intentionally draw attention to themselves and then complain when that attention is received.



Thoughts?

One thought that seemingly didn't occur to you was asking if you could shoot them.

If you're friendly and ask for a shot, you usually get it. If you actually know who they're dressed as and talk a bit, all the better. If you're an anonymous and aggressive gawker with a camera? Good luck.

BTW, work on those entitlement issues, OK?

lol, I'll leave the entitlement issues comment alone. It might just seem like "asking" didn't occur to me. In those venues I wouldn't really have to would I? You are missing the point completely. I said that the photos being taken were lumped in to the sexual harassment claims stemming from Comic Con. I consider that a bunch of crap and voiced it. You took it completely out of context.


Work on your reading comprehension….mmmmmm Kaaaayyyy?

Look, if everyone went around reading what everyone else's posts pretty soon you'd have reasonable responses and God forbid an almost total end of hyperbole and feigned outrage.

Good Lord man.. hasn't reality TV taught you anything? Conflict = Ratings.

Sheesh.

Lol

Ok see now if you could have those people dress up and go out and repo cars, now that would pretty much be the ultimate reality show right there.

Can we all agree that bronies should be shunned?

I guess it would help a lot if I knew what a bronie is or why they should be shunned.

Google it, but first order a new monitor because you are going to want to smash yours.

I'm not commenting on that...

Ok so after some deep thinking and a couple adult beverages I have figured out why cosplay bothers me. It's like the sports fans who paint their faces and bodies with team colors. It embarrassing to acknowledge that you like the same team as that guy.

i like comic books and some stuff like that buts its embarrassing to be associated with the 40 year old who dressed up like a bear from Star Wars.
