To GLOMP someone...

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Last year at Fanime, this little, AMAZINGLY CUTE Naruto cosplayer, a girl of maybe 6 or 7, walked up to my friend and asked, "May I glomp you?"
We (meaning me, and my two friends, all female) were speechless from the pure cuteness.
Then Breanna (the one who had been asked to be glomped) squeeled "YES" and got the best glomp EVER.
Then of course me and Erica asked to be glomped by her, and she did.
I felt like such a pedophile.
But anyways.
It is common courtesy to ask to glomp someone, although sometimes it is fun to be glomped randomly, but if so, it's better to be at least a little gentle and preferably small.

Ah I remember her she was adorable!!

I know!!
She was in the end-of-con conga line right behind me.
I felt really bad, because she could hardly keep up.

I<3 little cosplayers. Thery so CUTE!!! I want to get my little sister (she's 7) to come to a con as a little Ten Ten. :D

Omfg. That would be so cute. Could I get a picture? :]

She won't be coming to Fanime this year, maybe Sac ANime

Aww, ok.
Well, there shall be other little cosplayers. :D
They're just getting younger and younger.
Or are they getting older and older?
Hmm. :x

It seems to be going in both spectrum...

Yeah, it does.
But for the most part, the cosplayers are teenagers, from 13-19
like me. :3
The only reason I can get away with glomping someone is because I'm really small for my age.

Uh... random statistic, that actually isn't true. Most cosplayers are 20+

Point being, there is a large spectrum of different age groups cosplaying and we need to figure out what is appropriate. Is it ok if your 21 and someone 15 years old wants to glomp you or a little 7 year old. What do you do? We both obviously know that it is complete wrong but other may not and need to know where you should draw the line.

LOLOLOL

So it's not okay if there's an age difference, and perfectly fine if there isn't? There's nothing wrong with a 21 yr. old consensually hugging a 15 yr. old, or a 12 yr. old, or a 5 yr. old. That isn't even an issue. It's wrong if it's NOT consensual.
