Costumes are not consent. It’s a phrase you may be hearing a lot lately, and one we need to keep talking about. In the past few weeks, the internet has exploded with women speaking up about the treatment we receive at conventions and online. This isn’t a new problem that has suddenly presented itself.

Montreal Comic Con 2012 in Pictures (Cosplay + Event)

As with last year, I was at the Montreal edition of the Comic Con this weekend, and boy did I have a blast taking pictures of the various cosplayers attending the event. I especially liked Poison Candy Latex‘s stand, which featured Jared Candy’s geektastic sci-fi and superhero-themed latex clothing. If you’ve missed our post featuring […]
