We go to these shows to celebrate our heroes.
Wish more people would go to these shows to celebrate actual comics like they do in Europe, instead of celebrating corporate IP assets with comics playing third fiddle to film and television.
More people will see a movie in one weekend, then will ever read a comic
the medium is changing
but to the OP....YES, the fact that the conversation even has to be had should be a glaring sign that this community has a serious f'ng problem wit how to conduct themselves
get it together
wrong wording, the perception of the medium is changing
you get more eyeballs on film and TV then you do for comics, comics are the foundation, tv and film are becoming the main event
Creepers are going to be creepers no matter where you go. Conventions need better enforcement to ensure harassment, and especially touching, are dealt with in a draconian manner.
Also, why does Jimmy Kimmel still have a show? He is by far the weakest Late Night host, even when you include the second-stringer shows that air after the late shows.
It is still comic con, they just prefer to access the IP derived from the comics in mediums that do not involve paper or staples.
This thread has already drifted -- please stay focused on the topic, not what comic conventions should be named. All further posts not related to the topic will be deleted.
I am glad this issue is being adressed yet am terribly saddened that it needs to be adressed at all. I actually was somewhat oblivious to this terrible issue until my partner and I started discussing the possibility of cosplaying. I hope that it can continue to be discussed so that awareness can spread.
Along with the issue adressed in the article this is something that really limits my desire to attend such events.

I'm confused about the incident with the injured minor. They arrested a man and then realized he had nothing to do with it? If that's true how does her injury relate to the harassment that cosplayers face?
