Dude, no.
First, even attractive women can like comic books. Second, cosplay necessarily entails histrionic or narcissistic motives to the same extent that table top gaming necessarily entails paraphilic infantilism -- i.e., not at all.
Since you are well down the path of objectification, I don't mind using this example: Let's say you have a GD-quality army for 40k or Fantasy on display at a con and some dude comes over and starts fondling your models. I guess you had it coming since you only brought that army out in public to get attention. Now, imagine we're not talking about pieces of plastic pretty much entirely disassociated from you and that same douche from the hypothetical started treating your person like an attractive toy.

Just saying, but if you do not want to be seen as a sex object, then why dress as one.
If you don't want that attention, then why dress up in tight latex with cleavege? That's asking for such situations.
I'm smart enough to not get a delicious lollypop from that man in that bus, and so should she be.
Querere victima according to Google translate... Which may or may not be incorrect.
How did we, in the span of 10 seconds or so, get different results for that?
Haven't a fething clue
Blame Google.
EDIT: Just tested it, I capitalised the B in blame, and it changed... I got the same result as the rest of you without a capital B. Odd...
well literally culpa bit victimia would be "fault of the victim" like mea culpa is "my fault" capitalizing it may actually make the word literally blame; a word I do not know in latin.

The underlying assumption here seems to be that "attractive woman in tight clothing = sex object." You're not really stating a counterargument so much as restating the initial problem.

How am I supposed to see someone in tight latex with cleavege and all?
What is it then?
Someone just wanting to have fun by dressing up near naked?

Stop harassing me! I just want to buy some cheese and some butter in my totally normal grocery store attire.
I enjoy comic books and came to comiccon not dressed as a whore.

I say she simply didn't have the foresight to just guess what would happen if she took that costume to the Convention.
I mean... WHO could have predicted such a reaction from such a crowd?

Off-topic, but the second girl is way cuter than the first.

Nobody ofcourse. Sure, I'd not have expected such comments either, but well, you know what you will be seen as.

I'm not saying it's right. Frankly, it disgusts me. There's a lot of things with 'nerd culture' which disgust me however.
I'm just stating what is reality, right or wrong, and remaining completely surprised at how anyone could be outraged by this as if it's just now hit the light of day.

No way is that second bird nicer than the first!
Although, after my Victorias Secret thread, Its safe to say I think most of you fethers have no taste in women.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

These are pretty poor substitutes for an actual argument about why what a woman wears in any given situation justifies otherwise degrading behavior on the part of people interacting with her.
So could you please get down to brass tacks and tell me why you really think its okay to sexually harass women based on how they're dressed? I'm asking in good faith as I don't want to just assume that your thought on this matter really only goes as far as "whores should be treated like whores."
