I want to know what robins' response was to the vampire that asked about biting his neck.

Lol.. well, it was not exactly the nicest thing I've ever said - but ok, here goes.

The girl was telling me all about vampires and the boyfriend was trying to act cool and mysterious. The conversation keeps getting weirder, so finally she says "You humans are weak. You can't resist us. What would you do if I were to just bite you on the neck."

To which I replied, "The same thing I did last time that happened, I'd get you pregnant and then never call you again."

So ya, probably not my finest hour there. Lol

I could not think of a finer response. Well played my good man.

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.

Yes, somehow did you all miss this? It wasn't just about being photographed. It was about the photographER being a creep.

Um...EastEnders anyone? Get off your British pedestal because you've got plenty of mindless crap on your televisions over there, too.

You know, I think those complaining deserve a swift kick to the back side.

I mean really? Dressing up like a whore and going to a convention which is filled with horny guys, most of which have never touched a women, and you complain?

"Gee I dressed up like a steak and walked into a lion's den and for some strange reason they bit me!"

Morons.

Dude, that's dangerously close to, "Well she was asking for it." If the "attention" stops at some comments and gawking, fair enough. People are going to look and people are going to say stupid things. But I do hope we agree that these women DO have the right to complain if someone takes it farther than that.


Beyond that, I'm just saddened by how everyone seems to pile on the crap when talking about anyone who's not "normal." Sure, people do weird things and not all of those things are accepted by "polite" society. Doesn't mean they don't deserve some respect. No, I don't cosplay - never have and don't feel any need to do so in the future. But jeez, live and let live, y'know?

Well recently I was contacted about possibly becoming the poster child for normal. I submitted my application - I guess they must have done a background check because I never heard back from them. Lol.

I figure whatever floats somebodies boat, as long as they aren't harming anybody else, why not. But while I grant them the right to dress or behave as oddly as they wish, I reserve the right to giggle as a result.
