Idk if any anime cons ban crossdressing cosplay
The excuse is that kids could see
by law they are in the wrong
i think places like bronycon does
we're talking about child exploitation here
which is against the law
Uhh idk what the law states but this doesn't seem to be in consideration of local jurisdiction
as much shit as they get, mainstream pony events prohibit the more sexual side of the fandom to participate in public events
What you're arguing is specious, you gotta connect the dots @Paige Hendrix
Pride < BronyCon
Pride parades are a motte and Bailey
Family friendly until they're not
The lobby wants to have it both ways
Child Endangerment laws
Nope
Be more specific
Indecent exposure maybe
That's where the line starts to blur
In Texas there was a fat dude dressed as Chie Satonaka, so I don’t think crossplay is illegal here
bringing your child, who is dressed in drag
to a gay bar
where the age limit is clearly 18-21+
and having them "simulate stripping"
where they dance
and remove articles of clothing while having money thrown at them
aka
stripping
when the child is 11-12
My point; tons of ppl crossplay with the purpose of being cheeky or campy and sometimes YES there's an element of sexual energy deliberately charged into it. Even I'd like to have fun tweaking ppl like this with my trappy bf who can pass in certain costumes, but the idea that "kids might be there" throws a wrench into the fun
first off it's a bar so there's alcohol involved, which children cannot be around
Most people just ignore that when it comes to certain cons, and then others have to address the elephant in the room
secondly adult oriented bars typically have sexual activity involved, no matter how discreet it is
which also constitutes child endangerment
We're talking two separate things
these are things that constitute child endangerment
The things you mentioned maybe
Nothing to do with what I'm talking about though
