and dont forget just because someone is different dosen't give you a reson to diss them, so he stubled over words asking for a photo, could of been a number of resons shy,dosen't speak english well, brain injury...i thought cosplayers would know that best.

Now I wouldn't have minded so much if he hadn't made it so creepily blatant. >______>

OH GOD HIM.

Recognised him from last year in the Saturday line, so made a conscious effort to avoid eye contact. I whipped out my phone and pretended to be frantically texting/calling someone/otherwise preoccupied, in the hopes he would ignore me. He did not.

I actually cringe when people use it, sorry Alena ily anyway XD

Yeah, I don't like the term otaku either because it's seen as an insult (and in a kind of perverted way to me/dodgy way).

Isn't that called rude then? If you were on your phone (even just pretending) then he shouldn't have interrupted you xD.

I know the one. I was in my Umbrella Corp/School uniform, and he came and sat next to me REALLY uncomfortably close to me... Like actually touching me. I REALLY don't like being touched by people who I haven't at least had a conversation with... And he just sent alarms bells ringing in my head.

I never really got WHY people like to call themselves that in the first place, considering its actual meaning from the word's homeland. Yet I still find people who proudly call themselves that...each to their own, I guess? I hate when someone calls me it, though. Just a 'dork' will do fine. :B

This guy must have had the BEST WEEKEND EVAR because the revealed list of victims just keeps growing and growing.

yeah, quite a huge list, although he was there last year? must have kept a low profile last year then. :/

Yeah, I had a friend who always called me Otaku and I really didn't like it.

I'm perfectly fine with geek/nerk/dork though. I AM PROUDLY ONE >D.

He was. I'm admittedly awful with names and faces, but its difficult to forget teeth like his. He wasn't attempting to cosplay though....just wearing full camo.

Now that it has happened and I'm no longer in shock- the next time it happens I will be making a bit more of a fuss and glaring at anyone who saw it and said nothing. Sexual harassment dudes! That crossed a legal line!

Seriously you should call the cops, or talk to their parents.

Just the geek in me, but given some of the posts, I should point out that New Zeland passed a law a few years ago. Basically it make all photgrahpy in private places illegal. As well as bathrooms, etc that includes upskirts/downblouse. That is unless you are in a short skirt, and have your knees up, exposing yourself, or such like. Basically if you can reasonably expect privacy then it is illegal to take photos.
