Too bad. They could at least leave the ban for Asian people, their men can look way too similar to women. I think Otakus have a right to be sure if they're jacking off to a girl a or a boy.

That's awful. If people want to crossplay, why ban them?

Say you were about to have lunch and ordered a taco but ended up getting a hot dog isntead. How would you feel about it?

That's why!

What does it have to do food with crossplaying? I'm clearly missing the point.

Technically, are they not more just the male versions of said female characters? Are they banning the females dressed as male characters? 



Hmm, pie.

Taco is a euphemism for vagina and hot dog is a euphemism for penis. Get the point now?

Hahahahaha. Okey, I feel really stupid but yeah, I get it xD.

I wonder why not eat both though. Tee-hee.

As crazy as cross dressing is, this is genuinely infuriating, and this does piss me off.

This is a convention for crying out loud, let nerds to what they want to do.

EDIT: Even after reading that bottom part, this still seems a little silly, but I guess if Japan is that uptight about this sort of thing, then fair enough.

Hey, since you`re a mod and all and ktay has already posted a link to another article saying this ban has now been cancelled, can you change the OP/thread title or something so people don`t get confused about it any more?

Seems like an event organizer had a little surprise when he invited a cosplayer to a hotel in a previous event.

Good call.  Thanks.  Seriously.

Either you're assuming that everyone around you at a convention wants to sleep with you, or you're a rampaging rapist.

 

You lose, regardless.
