In recent years, as the scandals in the cosplay circle have been continuously exposed, ordinary netizens have a feeling of "your circle is really messy" in the cosplay circle. IN FACT, NOT ONLY IN CHINA, BUT EVEN IN JAPAN, THE BIRTHPLACE OF COSPLAY, COSPLAYERS OFTEN ENCOUNTER THE SITUATION OF BEING **. Some Japanese media have reported on this issue.

At the end of March this year, a report titled "14-year-old girl cosplay, forced to pose in 'excessive' posture and obscene behavior - a despicable trap set by 'photography club' lovers" was published in the electronic edition of Japan's Sankei Shimbun series, which caused an uproar in the cosplay world.

The report details the arrest of a 51-year-old unemployed man (51) who lured a 14-year-old girl in the second grade of junior high school into a grove and molested her in the name of a "photo club". After reading the report, netizens angrily expressed various opinions such as "scum, can't be forgiven" and "girls have problems without a sense of crisis", but there are also many voices such as "I have a similar dangerous experience" and "my friend was forcibly taken to a hotel".

Although cosplayer should be regarded as one of the main contents of "CoolJapan" in Japan, there is also a hidden danger that zài is aimed at the girl group.

"Duo solo photography" - the man's attitude changed suddenly

IN THIS CASE, THE ARRESTED MAN MET THE GIRL'S CLASSMATE THROUGH GUÒ COSPLAYSNS AND HELD SEVERAL PHOTO SESSIONS WITH THE STUDENT. Because he never did anything suspicious, he gained the trust of the classmate. So the student invited the victim girl, who had been interested in cosplay for a long time, and got in touch with the man in the name of wanting to hold a photo exhibition.

On the same day, the man filmed the girls of COS Jingyin Bell in the wild, and after a while, he proposed that he wanted to "shoot two people alone", so the classmate was left in the car. As soon as the girl entered the woods, the man's attitude suddenly changed. The man made aggressive posture demands such as "open his feet a little more", and even touched the girl's lower body and other obscene acts. The girl was too frightened to resist, and it was not until she returned home and asked her mother for help that the incident came to light.

Similar incidents have occurred in many parts of Japan. In April last year, a Kyoto man claimed to be filming cosplay models, but privately sold nude videos of female junior high school students to make huge profits. He was later arrested for violating the Child Welfare Act and the Child Sex Prohibition Act.

Commenting on this situation, a woman who is cosplay in Tokyo said, "There are some bad users who use cosplaysns for dating. Girls of low age are on low alert and are therefore easily deceived. EVEN THOUGH MOST COSPLAYERS ARE ALREADY VERY VIGILANT AND THE OPERATORS HAVE SCREENED BAD USERS, THE NUMBER OF GIRLS VICTIMS HAS NOT DECREASED. In addition, there are many cases where indoor cosplay photography is done using a love hotel, and there are also cases where you have been victimized by double photography after entering the hotel. ”

Of course, most photographers shoot seriously. However, even a bad photographer who only has a part of zài left an unhealable wound in the hearts of women who have been sexually sinned.

"Low-level photographers" went on a rampage during the cosplay event

Not only are there bad photographers at the photo show, but there are also a lot of cosplayers at otaku events such as doujinshi exhibitions. It is not uncommon to see scenes taken by amateur photographers.

In such an event, there will be a large number of "low-level photographers" haunting. "LOW-LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHER" REFERS TO A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO TARGETS THE UNDERWEAR OF A COSPLAYER WEARING A SKIRT AND TAKES PHOTOS WITH A CAMERA TILTED AT A LOW ANGLE.

For example, at a comic convention held in Osaka last year, a female cosplayer, Zhou Yun, gathered a large number of low-level photographers to shoot, and the incident was publicly reported. Most of the low-level photographers are sneakers who don't have permission from the other party, and there are some unscrupulous people who put the videos and photos they shoot on adult websites for sale.

In addition, there were also some low-level photographers at Comiket held at the end of last year. One woman tweeted that she was scolded for preventing them from photographing her panties from the back.

If you are surrounded by a large number of low-level photographers, it is difficult to prevent them from shooting, and it is really hateful to summon up the courage to remind them that they will be sprayed back. At present, there are calls for the industry to implement shooting regulations such as "prohibiting low-angle shooting and abnormal close-up without a permit". However, the bad low-level photographer always has a clever sneak peek.

A cosplayer who is overdressed in revealing clothes "for the sake of being famous".

BAD PHOTOGRAPHER BEHAVIOR IS RIDICULOUS, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT THAT ANOTHER REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM IS THAT "COSPLAYERS' OVERLY REVEALING CLOTHING ALSO INDUCES CRIME". In fact, in some cosplayer events, you can see scenes where you are overly exposed due to overemphasizing your career line or wearing a miniskirt.

THE COSPLAYER WHO BROKE THE NEWS EARLIER ALSO SAID: "FOR THE PROMOTIONAL PURPOSE OF THE PHOTO SHOOT AND FOR THE SAKE OF FAME, COSPLAYERS ARE NOTICED FOR BEING OVEREXPOSED, AND THESE WOMEN WILL DELIBERATELY DRESS UP AS IF THEIR PANTIES ARE EXPOSED." On the other hand, the cosplayer will also boldly expose his cosplay in order to perfectly reproduce his cos's character, but the photographer does not know whether the cosplay is intentional or unintentional. ALTHOUGH SOME COSPLAYERS DON'T INTENTIONALLY SHOW THEIR UNDERWEAR, THEY WILL ALSO BE TARGETED BY LOW-LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHERS"

In some monthly magazines, cosplaysns have been described as "stupid women who are hooked right away" and how to fool women in simple steps. Negative publicity like this will also increase the sex crime rate of photo booths.

OF COURSE, MOST COSPLAYERS DON'T BOTHER WITH SUSPICIOUS INVITATIONS, BUT YOUNG WOMEN WHO CAN BE EASILY SCAMMED DO HAVE ZÀI. Although the perpetrator is a bad guy, in order to prevent no more victims, the female cosplayer's awareness of self-defense needs to be raised.
