As someone from Vancouver, British Columbia, I am deeply ashamed that this happened in my own hometown. I have attended these expos in the past before, but I didn’t go to this one this time unfortunately, but if I did and if she was there I’d totally gone up, take pictures and get an autograph, do the whole thing. I think the ones who are making the space unsafe are they themselves.😒

Calling these people sensitive is inaccurate. These people need to be called out for what they are, cry bullies. They bully people by crying and accusing innocent people of being bullies to try and use others to inflict “punishment” on them.

[@lizstrom5439]

I'm going to use that. Where tf do these folks get off thinking they can cancel someone for using their freedom of speech? I'm really worried about the direction this is headed, as we are already being silenced by the loudest and most annoying amongst us. People fall silent to threats on their lives, threats to their family's and doxing. The real problem is not the people expressing their opinions, but the people that do not realize that this was a right that was fought for. It used to be I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it. Now... they've happily eroded that right, the 'cry bullies' are the real monsters here.

[@kylet4140]

It’s the fact they say it’s dangerous and she’s making it an unsafe environment like she’s going to show up with the intent of physically harming people. The irony of that is they choose to make it dangerous when they cause an uproar

I don't think you realize that you're so triggered you're not making any sense. you literally just said NO YOU. you have no argument but that and it shows because all you're doing is crying. if you have a good argument say it, do you think brett will talk about the Texas man that gave abortion pills to his partner and only got 180 in prison? when Texas calls for life? No, fo you even care about the constitution? No, or you'd vote dem

[@konstantinstepanov5461]

imagine not feeling safe because one of the optional panels you dont have to attend will have someone with a "strong opinion"

[@elizabethm4450]

I’m a Christian and in the cosplay community. It is madness sometimes. The irony of this is that you have to pay EXTRA to meet the stars at cons. If you don’t want to meet them, you don’t have to. You have to WANT to meet them, you’re not just going to run into them. These people act like breathing the same air as someone who doesn’t agree with someone is going to kill them. They’re so incredibly insecure with themselves they can’t even be in the same room as someone who won’t go out of their way to affirm all their nonsense. I can only imagine how fast a bunch of the cosplayers I know would turn on me if they knew half of what I believe. Despite having no problem with being their friends and following them on SM knowing full well what they believe and disagreeing with it. You don’t see me dragging them in the dirt and calling them nasty names and hate commenting. That’s supposed to be the beautiful thing about fandoms. They bring together people from all over the world and all walks of life who might otherwise have nothing in common. It’s great because it’s inclusive in that the only thing you need to get in is a mutual interest in the same book, movie, tv show, game, etc. but the liberals make about more than just that. And they’re destroying fandoms from the inside, tearing apart the fabric of once beautiful communities with their hatefulness and intolerance.

[@rodiusmaximus]

I used to think that all these people should fit into the same boxes. Maybe they think that too, but from their own (obviously) warped perspective. In my previous understanding, all nerds and geeks were basically the same. Good at maths, good at computers, not good at sport, and have an interest in sci-fi/fantasy stuff....as well as smart, careful, introverted, ambitious and funny.

[@jamesdeananderson1411]

Let's be honest: you just formed a well-articulated and, frankly, factual argument... which now makes me feel unsafe, due to my constant need be the center of attention. I'm literally shaking or whatever. Seriously, the fake fandom outrage is both exhausting and insulting. People are literally dying by the thousands in war and genocide ALL OVER THE WORLD... and Trudeau has wrecked Canada faster than a Mondalorian on a mission.

[@RobynJay]

You took the thoughts right out of my head.

[@NauticalTurtle]

love hearing of Christians in fandoms 🩷

[@CaptCutshaw]

Bravo!! You took the words right out of my mouth (fingers?) Been going to cons since the 80's and if there happened to be someone at one I either didn't like, or just didn't care about was stunningly easy not to see them and their presence had absolutely no effect on my enjoyment of the proceedings. I simply didn't go to their panel or join their autograph line. NEVER did it occur to me to have them forcibly removed simply because I didn't want them there...but then again I'm not a raging narcissist. And I hear ya on the Cosplay front. There is a cosplay/performing group I've been a part of for over 15 years and no one used to care what anyone's beliefs were outside of celebrating our shared fandoms, even when some of the folks who knew I didn't subscribe to groupthink didn't care because that wasn't why we were there. Now? persona non grata and have been quietly removed. The funny part is, the guy who is kind of the leader (at least he was who we all knew first and most events happen at his home) still calls me all the time as he is being driven nuts by all the PC crap and alphabet people demands that all the new folks brought in, but I'm the only one he can talk to about it as he'd be destroyed so just keeps his mouth shut and tries to hide his disgust at things like the recent episodes of Dr. Who (for example). It will never cease to amaze me those calling the loudest for acceptance and diversity are the most violent when you show any sign of not following them to the smallest degree. I used to go to multiple conventions every year, now I've been to two this decade (granted, COVID didn't help, but wasn't the only reason). It makes me sad, especially as I want to share this with my son who's at a great age for it, but in many ways just isn't worth it anymore because it is no longer about a bunch of people getting together to celebrate their shared love of geeky stuff, but about seeing who has the most letters and pronouns in their bio.

Congratulations on the engagement you are the picture of a happy young woman!

[@YakDPOY]

It says "Mr" in your name so I am going to assume you are a male.. but you also tried to pick up on whether or not she is pregnant? For a woman, that's weird as hell and none of your business (Not everyone wants to do a show and get questioned about whether or not they are glowing 🤦🤦🤦). For a man, there is no greater shame? Beating up your wife would be less insulting than what you just said. You are aware that to produce quality videos you need lighting correct? Don't say glowing as a man ever again, you are apart of the problem with those kids, somewhere somehow you made them weaker and softer.. maybe if you were an actual adult male instead of the saddest man I have ever seen those kids would be strong willed enough to superceed the school system (whatever kids you have in mind). "Congratulations on the engagement you are the picture of a happy young woman!", she will never read that and why make it even sadder. Did you flick your wrist when you said that??? We have a testosterone pandemic going on, you are the poster boy for it lol. You are the picture of a happy young woman HAHAHA. Man, save the rest of us from this embarrassment

Schools should either have a safe space for all or just independently help students with their individual issues.

I cosplay. It is so much fun. People like this ruin conventions. Last year, I wanted to attend SakuraCon for the first time, but I didn’t because of the insane Covid policies: you had to have your primary series of vaccinations, and you had to wear a mask the entire time unless you were actively eating or drinking. You couldn’t have on a disposable surgical mask, it had to be something specific, and even if your cosplay covered your face, you still had to wear a mask underneath. Like no.

[@whisperedaria8832]

I have stopped attending comic cons because I feel extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable letting people know “the real me.” Half of what they seem to want to talk about is how their political views are mirrored in their cosplay or character, expect me to applaud every cosplayer and actor, and expect that if I am a fan of a person’s work I must also get into lock-alignment with their political and ethical ideas. I’ve always felt I’m too weird for the normal people and too normal for the weird people, but at least the normal people are nicer about it.

[@willbrashear]

Not all cosplayers need safe places. Only these weirdos do.

[@BarrickIdell-gm9xo]

I am Canadian and until this episode I did not fully realize that if I had not grow up with loving Christian parents my life would have been complete and utter trash

[@casandraadugyamfi]

I went to a Collect-a-con in Nov. There were plenty of people doing cosplay, including myself, and no one complained. Everyone was having fun.

[@Peppy_3000]

“Safe spaces” used to be called mental institutions 🙈

[@rivkyborodkin4842]

As a practicing jew, it actually gets on my nerves when these people want to "defend" us by silencing Jena, but when it comes to people who openly call for our genocide, it's "well you have to look at the context." Like, get a grip...

[@sandraphillips878]

The main reason to have a safe space at a Comic Con is so that a Cosplayer has some where to go if they have encountered someone who will not take No for an answer and acting as a creep

[@dinosaurwoman]

No, it's because people are catering to a vocal minority who can't control their emotions. You don't need a safe space if someone is bothering you, cosplay or not. The whole Cosplay is Not Consent is based on a woman who lied about being raped at a con-sponsored party. She was sued and lost. ANYONE can be harrassed at any time--it's not just cosplayers. I don't see "safe spaces" at target. Find a security guard or do what we all used to do--get lost in a big crowd and go outside.

[@Mithguar]

@@dinosaurwoman Sorry but you are wrong. There are some weirdoes out there. As culture of conventions comes in large part from Japan, there were cases of fanatical fans assaulting or even scaring/killing their idol. It can get extreme in fandoms. Of course in US danger comes from these weirdoes. Non the less, a safe space as in a location with heightened security on a big event isn't bad in any regard and claiming otherwise just shows that you have no clue about crowd control and organisation of large events. Safe space for hurt feeling on the other hand... Maybe they should just distribute helmets... Because life is tough xD

[@jachyra4]

"glomping" used to be a thing at conventions, but the organizers started making it clear tgat this was never acceptable. People were getting injured, costumes damaged, that sort of thing. Over-enthusiastic fans are everywhere, and some definitely won't take no, even if it's just for that selfie with a cosplayer.

[@cupit916]

I’ve been cosplaying for many years at conventions. I’ve also been part of the press team at some of these same conventions. while I hate fan expo for just being a poorly run franchise con, when I meet celebrities for press promos or even as a cosplay attendee, I can separate artist from their opinions. Because that’s just what they are, opinions. If opinions are harmful to your safe space, then it maybe time to reevaluate how you interact with the world around you.

[@lyndsycarson8302]

They let people have mechanics and pyrotechnics in their costume, faux weapons that can 100 actually hurt someone, and people dressed like princess leias SLAVE COSTUME!!!! That was leias SLAVE COSTUME when she was ENSLAVED and COLLARD by A GANGSTER! And that costume that literally fell off of the actress several times, she said everyone saw her downstairs…. that’s allowed but a sweet lady whose charector was always completly dressed and no one’s love interest can’t attend because while she does support nerds, she don’t support crazy nor stupid.

[@briandaniel6354]

I live in BC, it is a giant woke mess. To the point of Canada being against abelism, they are in fact ableists. As a person with MS it is a huge pain to get treatment and diagnosis or support in any form. Luckily I havent had a doctor discuss MAID with me but that may be because I generally warn them that I will react violently and angrily if that subject ever comes up. I hate it hear =/

[@Fire-Born]

Alberta healthcare can be shit too but it's way better than B.C Ive lived in both and my mother also spent time in both places and she and I only got help with all our medical needs in Alberta. If you haven't already, Maybe you could look into treatment in Grande Praire, Toronto, or Edmonton

[@briandaniel6354]

@@Fire-Born Thank you, I do want to move but I can't at the moment and the actual move will be a little more complicated. I need to ensure that I have a nuerologist available before I move in paticular one that specializes in MS. In that way at least my treatment wouldnt be interupted.

I love cosplaying, it allows me express myself and express my love for the characters I cosplay, but this is ridiculous. I love going to cons and the simple thing to do is, if you don’t like someone don’t go near them, go somewhere else, cons are usually big so you don’t have to be near them. Simple.

Here’s a thought: maybe if you the she’s unsafe to be around then why not choose not to go to her table or see her speak at the fan expo why ruin it for everyone else that WANTS to see her
