Well, "comics," is a big medium, and what's appropriate will vary from comic to comic. I'm kinda having this problem at the moment; my toddler is obsessed with Superman, but since his age appropriateness can vary wildly, I have to be very selective with what media I let him see. I can basically show him the old Superfriends cartoon, some episodes of the 90s show, and the non-racist fliescher serials.
But either way, last time I was at Comicon (3 or 4 years ago), there were a ton of kids there, and last I check, anyone under 13 was free. It is, at least outwardly, a very pro-kid event. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that some cosplay might be too sexual for an environment where you expect to see children.
I don't think it's unreasonable to put the responsibility on parents to determine what's appropriate for their children to see.
Well, that's true, but I also think it's unreasonable to expect people to think about what event they're going and dress appropriately. In the same way you might decide not to wear your super hilarious, "I'm not as think as you drunk I am," t-shirt while visiting your friend in rehab, I think it's not unreasonable to think about whether children will be present before you wear a very sexual outfit from a very sexual anime.
There are certainly shades of this, and it's not universal. If you're complaining that someone's Wonder Woman cosplay is too revealing, then comicon probably isn't for you. To me though, this is a lot more revealing and sexual than I would expect to see at comicon (and that I have seen when I've gone IRL).
