My daughter use to attend these things and others that were created to con folks out of their money. She use to go to them before they were "cool".

She stopped going to them. Too many posers, freaks, perverts, über über über geeks (the kinds that should be institutionalized) and kids (with mom and dad) started taking over.

She made a Poison Ivy outfit once and we made her make a cape for it before she was allowed to leave the house. Always lots of folks taking pictures and yes there are comic-con groupies. I think there are groupies for everything.

If Ted Bundy were still around I’m sure he would frequent comic-cons and the other con-jobs.

That is NOT how the #MeToo game is played.

The idea is to be as tantalizing to the opposite sex as possible up to and including suggestive gestures, words and even touching.

Then, the foolish male falls into the TRAP by responding.

Then #MeToo STRIKES! Like Thunderball!!!!

The REAL issue is the trannie guys built like mikey moore who insist on wearing Leia bikinis.

It doesn't matter. Liberals will take this away just as they have SW and comic book movies.

I’m going Thursday and if they got rid of the sexy cosplay girls it will be my last SDCC.

I did a search on comic con women's costumes, and I'm shocked, shocked I say, that something a social justice warrior would interpret as harassment would occur:

Which category do you fall in. Posers, freaks, perverts, über über über geeks (the kinds that should be institutionalized) and kids (with mom and dad)?

And yet today I was watching a video of a fat Muslim cosplayer who grabs women’s chest and grabs men’s asses (that one was to get him to move out of her way) and the response from the gatekeepers is, “Oh, you! Aren’t you naughty and fun!” For her part, she blames it on her ADHD.

This heading is triggering me. How can you say “grapples” with harrassment? Might as well say “gropes for harrassment” or “exposes more harrassment”.

Everything the SJWs touch, they ruin. So unless the Comic-Con people wake up and push back, it will be ruined.

I do not expect push back.

I had a ticket for Comic Con this week, had reserved a hard-to-get hotel room, but not yet a plane ticket - then realized that the hotel alone would cost me almost as much as ten days in London. So London here I go (again). I’ve been to SDCC a few times when I lived near LA. The parking, the crowds (130,000 people in a five block long building), the massive lines and miles of walking up and down those exhibit hall aisles — no thanks.

“grapples” “harassment”? BDSM written all over it.
