Sweet mother of pearl. This reminds me of that Fangirl Convention Security Task Force or whatever it was called a few years back. Maybe I go to the wrong Cons or hang out with the wrong crowds, but is it necessary to dictate what Rights a fangirl has? Doesn't she have the same rights as a fanboy?
And to address the stuff about cosplay: A fanboy has the same RIGHT to bear as much as skin as he desires for a cosplay. But he also has a RESPONSIBILITY to consider the retinas of others as well. Do you weigh 3 and a half bills? Then no Namor cosplay, alright?
