Do you get mad If someone touches you without asking during a

I frequently go in for selfies and wrap my arm around peoples shoulders if its clear it won't affect their cosplay.
I find it funny when people get creeped out. I'm not an ugly autist or a stunner either pretty normal looking.

Personally if someone asks something like "can i get a photo with you?" (as opposed to get a photo OF you), that they will touch me. So something like hand on shoulder, maybe on waist, wouldnt bother me.

However, if someone didnt ask and just came up to me and touched me i wouldnt be cool with that

I hate being touched by strangers, and I ask them not to if they try to do it. It's nothing personal, but being asked for a photo =/= permission for getting handsy

I normally carry a secondary prop around for these types of pictures that the person can hold. For example when I cosplay a league champ I carry around a poro with me. When someone asks to take a picture with me I offer that they can hold the poro and I mention that there's a squeaker in the tongue. Normally they are distracted by the squeaking fluffy thing and don't try to touch me.

It's just my way of preventing a bunch of people touching me but it doesn't hurt their feelings. But if someone puts their arm around me anyway I don't mind that much. Just as long as I'm not in a delicate cosplay or they are sweaty.

>>8910534
this.

I'm ok with it as long as they're not sweaty. One guy put his sweaty arms on me and that was gross. I don't want sweat stains

>>8910538

I get why you feel that way, but it just looks awkward if theyre just standing next to you, like if you were a statue , or a mountain in the background. The best cosplay photos is where you're interacting with the people.

>>8910515
> Don't touch my shoulder ok, that makes me uncomfortable.
>Backs into him.

I'm pretty understanding when it comes to comfort levels and will ask before couples posing or taking selfies, but people need to stop doing that arm hover thing.
Just don't wrap your arm around the person and stand awkwardly, looks better than hugging a ghost.

Also if they ask for a selfie with you and then put an arm around you don't explode into "Woah! No! Don't touch me! Excuse you, that is not cool!" Cause I saw a girl yell at this innocent dude who just asked for a selfie and everyone in her radius just kind of avoided her and that guy was torn down. At least be polite about it.

Never had a problem with this. Hell, I ended up dating a girl for a while because I put my hand on her waist during a pic. .

>>8910555
see >>8910545

there are ways to interact without touching. doing something in-character will always look better in a photo than standing there while someone hugs you.

Sometimes when I'm at a con I get a boner from looking at all the hot girls and when I'm in line for something I'll bump the girls in the butt with it. They just think the person behind them is bumping into them and never realize it's my dick.

I'd much rather get groped than hoverhanded. When people want to pose with me I go directly for their waist or shoulder as firmly as possible and that usually jars them out of whatever spergy "c-can I touch her or not" thoughts they might be having. You've got the nuts to ask for a photo, now have the nuts to make it a good one.

In the case of an actual grope, I feel 100% safe at conventions and really don't give a shit if it's in public. There's something about con dudes that makes me think I could beat the christ out of any of them if they tried something weird in private (even with man's natural strength advantage), and when I'm off convention grounds I'm with a group of friends+my boyfriend anyway. Getting groped is hilarious--it's like, do you think a bitch is going to get turned on? Or is it the revulsion that turns YOU on?

>>8910515
That's why unless you're an ill-mannered wretch from a trailer park you fucking ASK first.

Yes

>>8910534
Basically this. I don't like it if they're obviously trying to cop a feel or are being too rough with my cosplay, but if they're just doing it because they're friendly/think I'm cute, who cares?

>>8910814
Your reaction isn't why they do it, they do it because they get to touch a boob.

I really don't mind unless it's something totaly inappropriate (groping or such), but at the same time I always ask if it's okay that I touch them for a photo. I've had people suddenly be concerned after I ask and return the question, which I feel bad for, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
It's funny because outside of conventions/cosplay I really don't like being touched by anyone.

>>8910515

I have no problems with it, but that's cause I'm a dude, so people touching me during pictures are just being friendly/fun and not creepy. I'd imagine it's a different story if you're a cute girl cosplaying.

Usually people who want pics with me are socially awkward so I just tell them what to do (usually "go like me!") and do some doofy in character pose. It takes the hassle out of things so no one resorts or awkward arm arounds. I think people just resort to that because they genuinely do not have the social skills to pick anything different.
I don't understand why people get pics just standing beside cosplayers. It's so boring, why not just take a pic of them alone?
But then again I usually cosplay boys/men so I don't get the mouthbreathers.

>>8910754
This is great. As much as I'm meh about D Piddy's sense of humor, I do super appreciate that he cares a lot about getting consent for all his "pranks."

I don't take photos with strangers for this reason. I freak out when people touch me instinctively unless they ask and I'm ready for it. I don't know why people are so grabby, it makes me nervous

Usually I'm always in a pose if someone asks for a photo with me (and that usually makes the other person do a pose too).

But when it comes to hand position, waist/hip is the most acceptable, it's just common. Never had problems with it.

I don't care. Of course if it's boobs/butt/legs or w/e and clearly inappropriate then I'm not okay with it, but I don't care if someone in normie world puts their arm round my shoulder for a reason that makes sense so I don't care if someone does it for a photo. Makes a better picture than awkwardly hovering beside them, no contact photos always remind me of this shit.

I don't go in to touch other people though unless I know them, I know some people don't like contact with strangers.

I prefer if people not touch me but I don't mind if it's on the shoulder or something. I have had guys take photos with me and put their hand around my waist to slowly slide it down to my butt which DOES make me uncomfortable.

>kojima-san will never hug you in cosplay

If I'm getting a picture with a cosplayer, I usually offer a quick "may I?" while gesturing with my arm toward their shoulder. Some folks are more particular about physical contact than others, but I figure it never hurts to ask beforehand.
I once had a cosplayer grab me around the shoulders almost as soon as I asked for a picture with them, which was kind of a funny reversal.

I don't mind as long as they don't push it. I had a dude put his hand on my waist and he tried to let it drift down to my upper ass. Instead of freaking out I said "uh uh uh, you didn't say the magic word" from Jurassic Park and he got weirded out.

Yeah, I agree. Shoulders are a good contact point most of the time, but you never know and asking barely takes any effort.

I just believe in "no touchy" poses. just stand smile and wave/hand gesture whatever...mosta the time. but the reversal may happen and I just take it as habit for them to do so, often they say after because I smell good lol.

>>8911327
Why the fuck do they do this? I instinctively shove anyone who does this away. It's just a butt, everyone has one. I don't get why they can't just be happy with holding my waist like a normal, non-perverted person

It's all about reading the person. Some want a fun pose with you (fighting, jazz hands, etc.) and some don't know what the hell they want, but want a photo with you. If they don't know, I just initiate contact first (hand on shoulder etc.) so it's not awkward and I can control the pose.

I try to assume not everyone's an asshole that'll try to touch my butt or something

Personally, and I dont care if I sound bitchy, I ask not to be touched. My brand is too precious for me and I dont know what other people might have touched before.

I've never once considered this hoverhand nonsense.

Is this an american thing? In my country you would fucking NEVER touch anyone like put your hand around their shoulder or shit while taking a picture. Close friends barely do it.

>>8912346
i think it's the central/south Americans who demand grabbing privileges.

>>8910534
This. It's okay if they ask, not okay if they don't ask. Within reason, obviously. If someone agrees to a photo with you they're not agreeing to having your hands on their ass. If you wouldn't do it with a friend-of-friend, don't do it with a cosplayer.

That said, please be mindful of the state your own body is in - if you're sweating buckets then nobody wants to be touched by your armpit. Male or female, cosplayer or random cute normie, nobody wants to feel your clammy BO stank on their body. Please think about this before you throw your arm around someone.

I definitely appreciate when people like you specifically ask if you can touch. Asking "can I get a photo" is not an obvious indication that the person wants to be in the photo, much less with his arm wrapped around you. And to be honest 90% of the time it's normies and not congoers who do this - most congoers want a photo of you posing in-character, not one of you two hugging awkwardly. It really irks me when people wrap their arms around me without asking, partly because they're strangers, and also partly because cons are plague central.

I'm someone pretty uncomfortable with being touched. There's only once or twice I've been brave enough to say don't touch me but usually I go into a somber thousand yard stare so anyone seeing that photo knows how much I hated that moment.

Ideally I always prefer when the person strikes a pose with me, I don't mind around the shoulder and I can usually see it coming so as long as my costume isn't delicate I let it slide. I absolutely, cannot stand if someone unexpectedly grabs me around the waist. If they just ask first, there's a good chance I'll be fine with it, but at least I can make that decision for myself in that moment. Regardless I think you should always ask before touching someone since everyone has different levels of comfort when it comes to physical contact.

Dutch anon here. Actually, most of the time when I take pictures with friends I stand really close to them, but I don't actually touch, except maybe shoulder to shoulder. I don't mind shoulder touching, though. But hand on waist makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I remember a male friend doing that, and after that, I kind of started questioning his intentions.

This. Both in and out of cosplay I act open to some degree of contact and watch how the other person reacts.
When approaching another cosplayer a nice tip is to watch how thouchy they get when taking pic with others before you ask.

If you're gonna put your arms around someone like that, please ask first so we don't feel extremely uncomfortable. Now, whenever someone tries to take a picture of people from my comm, and they try to wrap their arms around us without asking, I automatically shy away from being part of the picture.

>>8911884
NO, fucking don't.

As a guy who crossplays...not gonna lie, unless they're nasty I'd probably enjoy getting groped by someone during a photo irrelevant of gender, and the bolder they are the better. But then I've also got (very mild) exhibitionist tendencies as well. Not that it's going to happen much anyway because I'm not one of the super qt totally convincing crossplayers, but still.

I couldn't even imagine doing something like that to anyone else without being explicitly invited, though. I get that most people don't want to be touched and that you should always ask permission.

>>8924489
But crossplaying isn't sexual at all, anon. Most of the characters I like most and want to cosplay just happen to be female. Even the really qt crossplayers are usually straight.

The fact that I'm a pervert is a completely separate matter.

>>8924489

i'm gay.

>>8924516
If it's a completely separate matter, then why did you start off with "as a guy who crossplays?"

You linked the two yourself, not the other anon.

>>8924531
The point was that crossplaying doesn't automatically make you some kind of freakshow neckbearded pervert. You can be a pervert and crossplay, but that doesn't mean you crossplay -because- you're a pervert. 99% of people who do it crossplay because they're a dude who likes a female character or vice-versa.

This is getting significantly off-topic, though.

>>8910515
Not at all. A guy hover handed me when his wife took a picture of us together and I was laughing internally. As long as their hands aren't clammy or are in danger of messing up my outfit I really don't care. Asking for permission is always appreciated though.
