Google it, but first order a new monitor because you are going to want to smash yours.
Then I'll pass, got along fine up to this point having never heard the term and if its anything that gross just don't really need to know

Here Robbins, watch this and tell us about it.


Ok, lesson one on the internet, when someone provides a video about questionable subject matter and says watch this, you don't. Some things can't be unseen. Lol

They complain about photographers snapping pictures yet they say nothing about the 50+ media outlets covering the event recording video and sound of them yet they complain about some photographers snapping photos of them.

You cant have double standard.


So one of my favorite lines is to say TOO BAD!
 
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.



That is IT!!!!! We're not friends anymore.
 
First I had to look up what happened at Comic Con, then I had to look up Bronies... make it stop! lol I'll pass on watching the documentary but I saw 'Q' had something to do with it (I used to watch Next Generation.)

Anyway to go way back to the OP, what happened apparently were not complaints about just being photographed. Of course if cameras were allowed according to the policy of the event and/or the venue then there would be an expectation that your picture might be taken, especially I imagine if you're dressed in a costume.

But according to this article on Time magazine's website there were complaints about women being grabbed/groped and attempts being made to take photos under their clothing. That is obviously crossing a line and if it happened, absolutely not acceptable - to me that seems to go beyond what I'd consider to be harassment if it got physical. There's a group that started a petition asking Comic Con to address the concerns.
