It does communicate the stance of the event organizers, which is not a given.
Yeah, sadly, it does need to be directly and explicitly stated, literally in giant bold letters, with an actual accompanying example mascot...
But it is better that something like this is present than it not being present.
These events also, sadly, require those notices that suggest you bath before attending, and to wear some kind of deodorant.
Oh yeah, thats... those kinds of signs, guidelines on flyers, con rules... that's been a thing for over a decade, maybe more like two?
Yeah, lots of dorks tend to not comprehend basic hygiene, that is absolutely a thing.
Probably also doesn't help that a lot of them get their biggest workout of the whole year by walking around a convention for a day.
The amount of horny that goes into a Comicon (regardless of gender and orientation) is through the roof, so I 100% get that sign.
And here's the thing, consent is sexy-- people can and very much do hook up at these things! Just don't be a fucking creep about it.
I mean, one could be forgiven if they thought they were at a strip club. But still, groping strippers without consent is a no no as well.
Damn girl.....aren't you, like.....cold? Convention centers typically have the AC crankin'.
I guess it’s the only way for women’s clothes to have pockets. This ought to become a thing
The inverse of traditional women's clothing, only pockets, nothing else
Hey, you're the guy who argued that consent isn't important the other day and then deleted your posts when you got pushback, remember that? You said coercion is fine

Mmmm I can smell the sexual frustration and axe body spray in the comments.

Who would not be looking? To dress like that and expect otherwise is sadistic IMO. She is beautiful and sexy AF.
IMO she has every right to dress however she wants. That is in no way consent to touch or invade her personal space, but it is an open invitation to take in and admire the art. That includes observing the art at a magnitude similar to the extraordinary nature of the state of dress.
In the 4chan post this came from, there are mp4 vids of people doing undercarriage shots and looking for wardrobe malfunctions. Perhaps those are staged and consensual; I am not here to judge if others do or do not consent to such behavior. I am odd in these types of emotions because I am more of an ideal outlier male; tall, broad shoulders, average+ looks. If I were a girl, I would be a slut that likes the attention; I am a slut that likes the attention... lol. I don't want some random person walking up and touching me in a cycling kit, but if you want to look at the bulge in my shorts, whatever, I don't care. I did not wear them for you. I wear them for a reason, but if I am in public and you look, it would be idiotic of me to get offended.
Anyways, it may be outlier behavior for someone that wants to be looked at, but that is a totally valid choice in life too. Being sadistic about dressing in an extraordinarily revealing way and then complaining about people looking, is just as bad as the malevolent deviant that believes any form of clothing or external context is consent from another person. Even full open and explicit nudity in any public or private context is not de facto or implied consent.
I have to wonder what is the implication or intention with the photo and the cosplay (thanks to the comment indicating where it comes from). I mean, no one chooses this display thinking they won't get attention, maybe she likes the attention, and good for her if she does. But the fact that she took the photo by the side of this sign... Is she implying that it helps that it's written? Enough for her to feel empowered to dress however she wants? Did she feel like she needed to take the photo by the consent sign to make a point that not enough people follow the guidelines?
I ask this because I would want to know if this is a sign (pun intended) that as a society we are going in the right direction, allowing her to dress in this outfit, or the contrary? It would be nice if the former would be the case.
That is beyond any kind of discussion about the appropriateness of it, in my opinion it is great if anyone is feeling safe enough to do this. Nudity needs to be normalized, nudity is not sexuality, but I digress and that's just my personal point of view.
I think it's as simple as that. She's wearing a very revealing outfit and is probably more affected by people being creepy about it. So because of her cosplay, there's extra reason for her to want to emphasize the sign.
