Cosfame vs Creepy Photographer - how do we unbreak things?

[epiic]

There was an incident where it recently came to light that a photographer was requesting some people give him nude selfies. That by itself is lame but not shocking. People get pervy messages from people hiding behind a screen all the time and it's a problem, but relatively easy to blow off

Wow, I had no idea these things were happening... that's horrible. I have a lot of trust in the cosplay community, because... I guess compared to stereotypical jock type, everyone seems like nice people who are into niches. .__. I guess this is just a naive way of thinking.

Those bullets are excellent advice, especially the first one. I should use that one. ^^;; I recently had this situation, where I got the feeling a friend wasn't welcome. I think a lot of girls feel this way - that if they're expected to come alone, they have to 'be nice' and do what's expected of them. Hearing this makes me feel like, it's okay to think something's wrong, and it's okay to insist on bringing a friend.

Hm... I guess the best forums now are facebook and tumblr, but a lot of people have to share them. I'd be happy to post it on my tumblr, it's really good advice.
