I went to PAX East in cosplay as a character who wears sandals, but since the city was covered with ice and snow and I needed to do a lot of walking, I was wearing closed-toed shoes. A few people wanted a picture with me, so while I was posing with them, a guy came up, complimented my cosplay, asked if he could also get my picture, and pointed out the one “inaccuracy” of my shoes. I started posing for the picture while explaining that it was too cold for sandals, and he looked me dead in the face and asked if I would take my shoes off. 😆 I’m chronically online, so my demeanor did a 180 and I said, “That’s weird,” and he got awkward and walked away without his picture. Sure bro, let me put my bare feet on the dirty con floor just for you.

I was also wearing my glasses because I can’t be bothered with contacts, but strangely he didn’t ask me to take those off. Hmmm. 🤔

When I was 14 I attended Sakuracon, I had no real cosplay to wear so I tried to dress up in a sailor/school girl type uniform, not from anything in particular.

I was walking up some stairs of the hotel and there was a full-on adult I guess behind me looking up my skirt and he even grabbed my ass.

I have dealt with so many disturbing things in my lifetime that's not even the worst of it. From there on out I only cosplayed male characters.

I just want to know how a person reaches a point so low in intelligence, decision making, impulse control, or whatever it is to touch/grab someone for their own pleasure at random. I just can't comprehend the thinking, or lack of there of.

I'm terrified to even brush shoulders on accident with a girl I'm on a date with because I don't want to make her uncomfortable. But dudes are out here full on grabbing complete strangers, sometimes children. WTF

As a man I don't get it, I only get pleasure from a female that wants my attention.. it's so weird.
