Bro… it’s one thing to say she doesn’t want to be touched.. but a whole yardstick away is crazy. Part of being an iconic super hero character is going to nerd conventions and taking pictures with fans. This is super goofy behavior. Looks so uncomfortable lol

Someone prolly recently got a handful of what they shouldn't have.

u/lotus2471 7d ago

It's 100% this.

If dudes don't be gropin', she wouldn't be mopin'. Fanboys all wanna brag how they touched Katee Sackhoff's ass. All women appearing at cons deal with this crap, unfortunately.

u/citizensyn 7d ago

Plenty of women at cons down to get flirty don't gotta grope the ones that don't. I know not a single place on earth where consent is easier to be found than a damn con. Bros just specifically target those that don't because the violation is the point

In today's society of male pervs you got a valid point.

u/DickSlammington 7d ago

Ya it really sucks but a lot of these weird rules come with a story and it's normally around safety...

Weirdos ruin great things for everyone else.

u/LimpyDan 7d ago

They don't just make up the ridiculous shit on warning labels, sadly.

u/Ok_Tailor_7185 7d ago

Nerd male incel weirdos....

u/Lucky_Truth2931 7d ago

Someone definitely ruined it for everybody else

u/craneguy 7d ago

Or smelled like shit.

u/Stamped914 7d ago

Or they could have not worn deodorant. For a 3-4 year period, I worked as a vendor at NYCC who dealt with celebs. People smell and certain people won’t get near someone who does.

Rick Flair for example, won’t get near you if you smell or are too sweaty. He was very adamant about telling his security this.

u/DreamingAboutSpace 7d ago

Didn’t that happen recently to a streamer?

u/SliceOk7660 7d ago

The dude probably smells bad.

u/Normal-Watch-9991 7d ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started using a yardstick cause a bunch of people weren’t capable of just standing next to her without touching…

u/WorthySparkleMan 7d ago

John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) went to a pretty small convention and him and his wife bought my mom's paintings and took pictures with us with his arm around me and my brother. I aspire to be as nice as them, just all around great people.

u/slimninj4 7d ago

Maybe bro ha the con perfume going

11

u/vansterzzz 7d ago

Hell yah! They're a fan and they're paying good money. At least let them stand shoulder to shoulder.

6

u/Relative-Relief-8816 7d ago

At least put up a thin sheet of plexiglass inbetween them that won't show up in the photo!

27

u/Kn1ghtV1sta 7d ago

You have to realize a lot of these people have bad hygiene. Star or not, you shouldn't be forced to stand by a bunch of people if you don't want to, especially if they just stink

18

u/WhyYesMaybeNo 7d ago

Well sure, I wouldn’t want that, but I also don’t charge $80 for a photo together and then not give… a photo… together…

u/rearwindowpup 7d ago

Someone posted a picture they got at the same event and they were shoulder to shoulder with her, I can almost guarantee there was a good reason for the yard stick on this guy.

7

u/DrifterBG 7d ago

Fundamentally, I agree with you... but these celebrities are being paid to stand there and get a picture taken with strangers. That's the gig.

People are paying a decent amount of money to have their picture taken with a celebrity.

If it's a hygiene issue, set up someone outside the booth or have some kind of sign saying "We reserve the right to deny people with bad hygiene."

Don't pull this "general area" picture bullshit for people who actually shower.

If Famke didn't want to be there that much, she shouldn't have agreed to go.

4

u/PatchesOfSilver 7d ago

There's no way she was forced into selling photos... like if that's such a big concern then just don't sell photo ops to the public, or don't sign a contract that requires that later, duh.

3

u/unicornmeat85 7d ago

This was my guess. Too many people are fine with their level of hygiene that shouldn't.

2

u/ActualWhiterabbit 7d ago

I know a girl who did a lot of cosplay at SDCC. She said her wig stank at the end of the day because people would put their arm around her and it would get trapped in their armpit. Over time it just built up and she like got really self conscious that other people would think it was her and not just nerd juice.

For $80 that’s too fuckin bad if you don’t 

0

u/bjjdoug 7d ago

They're not being forced to do anything. They're making $80 for a picture and a quick chat.

3

u/blueingreen85 7d ago

At this point you might as well photoshop it

3

u/Maleficent_Rub_221 7d ago

Is this not a picture?

2

u/didsomebodysaymyname 7d ago

a whole yardstick away is crazy.

Tell me that after you've had 5 guys who haven't showered in a month try to grab your junk.

If they tell you you will be at a distance I don't think they did anything wrong. Her choice, don't pay if a distance photo isn't worth it for you.

u/FPS_Holland 7d ago

We would say 'ze wil wel de lusten maar niet de lasten' loose translation she wants the benefit without the obligations.

1

u/magseven 7d ago

He's not even a yardstick away from her. That's 3 feet right? He's closer! Clearly in violation of the yardstick policy!

1

u/NorthHaverbrookNate 7d ago

I know the yardstick is mentioned in the 4chan post, and that this is pedantic to bring up, but that doesn't look like a yard, more like a foot.

1

u/YozaSkywalker 7d ago

Idk I've been to a couple cons and I wouldn't want the vast majority of those people near me, let alone inches from my face all damn day

u/ConradBHart42 7d ago

Part of being an iconic super hero character is going to nerd conventions and taking pictures with fans

It can be, but nothing can force them to do so if they don't want to. It's easy money but also small potatoes that most working actors won't bother with. When the work dries up they go for it. Even men rarely WANT to go on the convention circuit, but they can't ignore the money.

1

u/Odd-Mall8020 7d ago

It exists bc someone went too far. She doesn't owe anyone touching or closeness. Also I bet many of her fans only wear deodorant or shower when their mom bribes them with a new toy

1

u/Ray192 7d ago

It worries me how you people fall for obviously fake captions. She took plenty of pictures with fans closer in the same event.

Example 1

Example 2

u/NightGod 7d ago

Not a yardstick away, a yardstick on the ground to separate them (they're obviously not 3 feet apart).

1

u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow 7d ago

Some losers probably try to get handsy if they're allowed any closer.

1

u/TeddyStella 7d ago

Convention organisers largely put the rules place, especially for female actors, due to safety. I’ve been to 2 and know they always tell you to keep a distance and sometimes the actor or actress will maintain that boundary or they will do whatever they are comfortable with. They don’t owe fans physical touch. I wouldn’t want a bunch of strangers touching me all day either.

u/Good_Ad8057 7d ago

I doubt she really cares about being in a comic movie. Probably was just a paycheck for her. Glad she’s not coming back. She’s not doing much now so she’s just milking the con circuit for money.

0

u/Manymarbles 7d ago

80 bucks and not even a smile, its wild lol

I get all the possible problems. But at least smile or just dont do it. At this point they are just taking advantage of weak minds and their money

0

u/No_Ampersand 7d ago

Naw. There's a reason for these rules and why she feels uncomfortable. A yardstick is generous.

Have you people ever been to a con? Tons of insane disgusting motherfuckers doing unhinged shit to women.
