Why would someone with any age have a problem with nearly nude woman running around? Go touch some Grass in the Park or Beach Sand in the summer or go to a public swimming pool. Everyone is there everyone is there (nearly) nude.
Yeah but that's why context matters. Wearing a bikini at the beach is one thing, wearing it to a job interview is another. I know this line can be blurry with comic book characters since most of them wear fairly revealing outfits, but I would say wearing one of the hyper-sexualized outfits from the anime about high-school girls who get superpowers when their outfits get more sexually explicit is probably too sexual explicit for an all-ages event.
Oh fuck all the way off. Let a woman dress however she wants. If a Luffy or Conan costume is okay, what this woman is wearing is okay too.
Sometimes women like drawing gazes. The point is it should always stop at gazes.
Fuck all the way off with this. There's nothing wrong with wanting to draw gazes, but that doesn't mean every way of doing that is appropriate for every situation. If you want to draw gazes at a dinner party you wear a low-cut black dress, not a mesh tank top and assless chaps.
Stop. Policing. Women’s. Clothes.
She isn’t at a dinner party, she’s at a convention.
What she’s wearing is an accurate and well-done cosplay, and that is 100% appropriate attire for the setting. It would be the equivalent of a ‘low cut black dress’, you sexist asshole.
Edit: Which shouldn’t matter anyways, because cosplay is not consent. A woman should be able to walk around naked in public without getting sexually harassed, never mind while wearing what she likes. Clothes are never consent. No matter if you judge them ‘appropriate’ or not.
It's appropriate attire for the setting in your opinion. I think wearing a hyper-sexualized outfit from a hyper-sexualized anime in a situation where children will be present isn't appropriate. You're welcome to disagree, but don't try to high-road me because of it.
How do you think children will be negatively impacted by nude woman?
I don't think children will be negatively impacted by nudity, but I think they will be negatively impacted by sexualized nudity (and there are a lot of studies that back that up). I wouldn't shield my child from a woman wearing a bikini or breastfeeding, but I also wouldn't bring him to a strip club or show him porn. I think dressing as one of the characters characters from High School Superpowered Sex Uniforms falls into the latter category.
Strip Club and porn have a sexual interaction, but here its just a woman running around like all the others in their costumes.
Yes, but an outfit can be inherently sexual. Fetish gear is inherently sexual, even if you're not doing something sexual in it.
Little children wouldn't know and understand and would just think "weird or funny costume" But teenagers who know, know it already and thus it isn't a problem.
I think that is true for very young children; my son is less than three, is just developing a concept of gender, and regularly tries to take his clothes off whenever he feels like it. I'd be more concerned with the pre-pubescent ages, around 7 to 10. Studies show that kids around this age, who get exposed to more sexualized content, develop more negative associations, like being more likely to associate a person's worth and their sexual appeal, more likely to sexual objectify themselves or others, and being unable view human beauty out side of sexual attractiveness.
That being said, seeing one girl in a risqué outfit is more likely to lead to an awkward conversation for a parent than anything else, but in my opinion, its probably not healthy for this kind of cosplay to be the norm at comicon if comicon is going to remain an all-ages event. But again, this line is blurry, and it's possible if just become an old prude since having a kid.
