Prostitution is a kind of fan service as well.

Eh, the world is too complicated!

I didn't think it was complicated, actually. That seems to be a good argument for it being ok.

This particular free speech doesn't incite violence. Wouldn't saying it does be the same as saying short skirts imply they were asking for it?

If we're not gonna lock up nazis why the hell would we lock up cosplayers.

I would fear that too.

Hmm.







I'd heard of the nordic model. Seems good as far as I know but I haven't thought of it much.

When people cosplay it in cons, it's basically free porn. :P

I think Cosplaying and accurately representing a character is perfectly fine I the Cosplayers is comfortable doing so. While o don't endorse overly sexualisation of either women or men. I think it is Ultimately the Cosplayers choice.

Would I do it? Probably if I was more physically fit, but I may feel a little embarrassed but that my personality.
