    There is sexual and non-sexual nudity, but social norms and circumstances dictate when we find something sexual and when we don’t. If you don’t see any outfit as inherently sexual, that sounds more like somethings going on with you that you need to explore, but that’s gonna need to be a personal journey.

      Social norms do not dictate anything, you are choosing to sexualize those things and you could choose to stop whenever you want, you are the problem

        No, you’re conflating sexual objectification and sexualization. Objectifying someone is an internal process of viewing another person (or yourself) as a sexual non-person. Sexualization is just how something becomes sexual. Nudity isn’t sexual, but if you pose nude in a sexually suggestive manner, you’ve sexualized it. I don’t know who told you that sexuality was an entirely internal, subjective process, but they were wrong.

          Your arousal is your problem, there’s nothing wrong with the costume, if you can’t be fucking normal about it then you are absolutely not welcome at cons

            I literally said in my first comment that sexual cosplay is not an invitation for harassment. All I said was that I think this costume was a bit too sexual for an all-ages event. Calling me a creep won’t cover up the fact that you fundamentally don’t understand what sexualization is.

              You did say that cosplay isn’t consent, and then you went on to post dozens of comments undermining your original statement with the assertion that your subjective reaction to someone being attractive is somehow a reflection of an inherent sexual element to their body and/or outfit. There is nothing inherently sexual about revealing clothing or nudity, your misguided belief otherwise is 100% puritanical nonsense, the fact that you acknowledge that a similar outfit at a beach would not be inherently sexual proves that you’re capable of not hlbeing fucking weird about it some of the time, so literally just do that all the time and stop making your arousal everyone else’s problem. It’s really just that simple.

                Literally no one has brought up attractiveness or arousal except you. You’ve made up an imaginary person to argue with because you’ve misinterpreted the fact that people can internally sexualize something to mean that all sexualization is an internal process, and honestly, the imaginary person you’ve invented says a lot about you.

                  Just because you haven’t used those specific words doesn’t make it any less obvious that you’re talking about the same thing, you’re resorting to weasely semantic bullshit to defend yourself because you’ve got nothing better, quit being a creep
