Okay so warning this a rant about semi sexual harassment it’s just me bitching about getting talked to weird at a con and I feel like it needs to be said, COSPLAYERS ARE NOT THE CHARACTERS.
So I was in Verosika mayday yesterday at comic con which a lovely time aside from this one guy. He was in a black mask cosplay and he repeatedly approached me and my friends to say “Hi Verosika” in a kinda weird tone and I know there’s nothing wrong with saying hi however this happened around 4 times and my friends said he followed us out of a panel(???) one time he approached me while I was with my mother and he had shown off a loona print, one of the ones you can tell were done by someone who does nsfw work (nothing wrong with this get your bag) but he kept rubbing up on it weirdly on top of his whole “hey Verosika” thing and it totally rubbed me the wrong way. At one point he introduced himself as his character and said “it was lovely to meet you miss mayday” and held out his hand for me to shake it. To be fair I was really weirded out but I didn’t want things to escalate bc I was in heels I can’t get away in and honestly I didn’t have any proof to say that this guy was being weird and even talking about it without someone who was there it makes me feel creepy bc he was just saying hi
