Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
I really thought it was eventually going to cut away to an actual commercial that was run where the VA had put bizarre emphasis on 'as standard' and this was a purported cause
I'd listen to any cosplayer who said "I don't like that, please don't do it" and believe their wishes should be respected, but I think getting offended in advance on behalf of a hypothetical person who might hate it is probably not the best use of time
I think however that it might be instructive that someone can't even say "maybe you should get peoples consent before playing music at them" without getting shouted down.
And then we (as in, society at large) wonder why we can't have a constructive conversation about consent when it comes to sex.
I feel like it’s because playing theme music of a character someone’s dressed up as at someone for 10 seconds is actually totally harmless
Even if the cosplayer is bothered by it? Saying that someone dragging another person into their performance without consent is "totally harmless" isn't an argument for why it's such. Furthermore, I don't see why saying "hey, if you're looking to bring someone into your performance, the first step is to ask them if they are cool with it" is so controversial.
I think at the milder end of the spectrum of social interactions the stakes involved are extremely low, and the act of asking permission to do a thing becomes almost as much of an imposition on someone as just doing a thing. Also factor in that this is a cosplay con, so people are there in costume specifically so they can have spontaneous interactions with strangers who like their get-up.

The hype for phantom menace was unreal
I still have some phantom menace 7up and pepsi cans in the shed somewhere. think a couple of the KFC cup toppers too. But ya, that merch was EVERYWHERE in the lead up to Phantom Menace, for what felt like a year prior to the movie.
All I know is that Deadpool cosplayers have the highest likelyhood of challenging someone to a breakdance fight.

I honestly don't think anything could reach that level again. It was the perfect storm.
Yeah everyone was super hyped for that movie, and George Lucas well...

I know this song by memory and it's simultaneously incredibly frustrating and interesting to watch.

So I guess they didn't take that test.

I think I have a general idea why, but I've never heard this position articulated before. Care to clarify?
Probably because I think they would be the most fun personally.

We are.
I prefer rebels to imperials but there's good people in both communities and a great amount of community volunteering as a bonus.
People use the character as an excuse to harass other people.
