I have to agree with the Authors that the latter has gone too far and that the former has to stop now. I have ideas for what  to do about the former, and I am in contact with the Author of the article too.

Does anyone else who goes to conventions want to get in on this?

My Ideas:

A Convention Rover's Network (and Content Moderator's Network):
            To exchange ideas and tips for stopping and dealing with this

            To coordinate group rover cos-plays because I have a feeling that the Avengers telling someone to cut that out might be more effective than some random guy, but perhaps I am wrong

                           The group rover cos-play idea translates to group Content Moderator RPing

A network of people dedicated to exposing and outing people who do things like stalk, take stalker photos, grope, womanize, make rape jokes, slut shame, race shame, bully LGBTQ and so on via:

          Exposing them to the people they are stalking in some fashion

          Asking them "May I take your picture?", if get a "yes", take it, post their picture and a description of what they did on a group Facebook Page, Twitter Hashtag, tumblr, and so on.

          Handing out red cards to people caught doing these fowl things


Thoughts?

My only problem is the below seems to be an issue gone un-addressed far too long:

@Mokoto: agreed.

@RyuHayabusaDOA2: As of now, I can make that 6pm Saturday shoot. I will be Sayaka Miki. Feel free to add me as well.

PS to all: Anyone coming as any of the villains? If so, we should do some stills of a massive battle sequence...

@Broken Halo, nevermind, I found you all.

You have a Sayaka Miki/Octavio von Seckendorf genderbend ("Broyaka" is what that cosplay has been named). I am trying to genderbend the character in a way that makes it so that I can transform back and forth and still be recognizable.

Add me to the list on this one.

If possible on my end and you need it, I would like to help coordinate too.

Saturday is a good day for this for me. Maybe a little later in the evening than 3pm, as I am trying to arrange an Avengers meet at 1pm at the Pita Pit across from the convention center (because Shwarma), but...

@Broken Halo,

Send me the link to the Puella Magi forum as I cannot find it via the search bar or menu.

Thanks

@ Broken Halo,

Sounds good. Let me know when make the page for the official Puella Magi shoot.

@Broken Halo

Planning a Puella Magi exclusive shoot huh, official or just meeting in front of the convention center?

Second, will have to check plans with friends. We were gonna go to this: https://www.facebook.com/events/559140990780745/?fref=ts, as the Avengers, but it is at noon so...

I think I could easily do anytime on Saturday if everyone else could.

As I said, Scott Pilgrim is Friday, if memory serves that is, so that is the only no go...

PS On days to do this, I was planning to do the Scott Pilgrim shoot on Friday and the Marvel/DC at the Pita Pit Saturday at Noon, but I could easily do multiple shoots in a day if need be. How is everyone's Sunday and Thursday?

@PsychoticDame good to see I will not be the only Madoka character. Which ones will you and your friends be planning on doing?

@Motoko

Alright keep me updated.

Was planning to do the Avengers at some point on Saturday because read my posting on this event: https://www.facebook.com/events/559140990780745/

Oh ideas for pictures to do at the meet up...

Replicate these pictures but with mahou shojo: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/i/c/blg/cat/hometheatre/avengers-assemble.jpg

PS No time to develop my profile so more about me on these websites: https://www.facebook.com/MatthewAbely https://twitter.com/MatthewAbely http://www.tumblr.com/blog/magicalgirlman http://www.crunchyroll.com/user/drumstick00m http://magicalgirlman.blogspot.com/

I have a sayaka miki genderbend in the works. Would love to join you all if possible. What day. Email specifics...

I have a Sayaka Miki genderbend in the works that I am fine to wear solo, but if any of the rest of the cast (genderbend or otherwise) wants to join up and walk around as a group doing photos and or masquerades, let me know. I also have werewolf claws and a bane mask, and am 6'2" so I could easily convert and to Octavio as well...

E-mail me or

I have both the Scott Pilgrim coat and a decent Gideon costume. I just need to know the day so that I can grow then shave the sideburns, or else I can go as Negascott (I think I am too tall at 6'2" for regular Scott Pilgrim). Email me specifics...
