Conventional Wisdom

Picking on fandoms: THE COMIC!

…and it’s not even as if those are bad guidelines to follow. It’s just that I’ve never once seen a photoshoot where someone actually felt the need to publicly ANNOUNCE it before things started. (and I was hanging around the lobby during several shoots that day, I’m pretty sure I would have heard if that was an issue for anyone else)

(Historical Notes: I’m sure it also helps that everything I’ve ever cosplayed was either old enough to not have anyone still actively shipping characters or had FANS old enough to not get worked up about it enough to need to act it out.  I mean, people at the Digimon photoshoots would often get ship-based pictures, but it was always with a heavy dose of sarcasm.  And nobody ever actually tried to kiss anybody.  I mean, seriously.)
