he was wondering if it is still socially acceptable to go as the Pedo Bear to Fanime. A response from a fanime rep would be great but general responses would also be nice.
Thank you
I'm not an official but i would see nothing wrong with it. I've seen many pictures from past years of Pedobear cosplayers. Of course if he goes around with a sign or something that says "I <3 CP" that would be a different story i'm sure. :D
thank you for your reply
Perfectly fine, considering Fanime is populated by a decent minority of B-tards.
Last year, my friend and I (dressed as school girls) confused a pedobear cosplayer by offering him candy. He was like, "Wait, aren't we doing this backwards?"
Thanks for checking in about the pedo-bear suit. It's a question we've seen a couple times recently, and we actually do have an answer. It is allowed on the following conditions:
- If we receive any complaints, you will be asked to remove the costume and/or leave the convention, depending upon severity.
- You are expected to behave yourself at all times.
- Strictly hands-off with children. You can dress like pedobear, but do not be like pedobear.
- No photobombing.
Basically, behave yourself, and don't be a perv. Don't do anything to make parents uncomfortable. If it becomes an issue, our rules may change at any point, (even during con), and we'll let you know.
In non-/b/ mode I would find pedobear unacceptable, but since noone besides /b/tards would understand pedobear its probably okay :p

You mean what everyone else should be following anyways? These Conditions are pretty mute.

Uh... accept that this meme has gotten far more out there than just /b/ considering that kuuma wasn't even a /b/ meme to begin with.
