You know there was a scene not to long ago at an anime convention with a certain situation. A man dressed up as faye valentine from cowboy bebop was arrested for indecent exposure and told to put on a robe or an overcoat. Man faye resisted a little while later and was taken off the premises. Should he be able to dress what he feels like and get away with it because of the freedom of expression or was security right?

As long as his wang was not showing I think he has the right to wear the costume if he wants to. They don't like it just because he is hairy and overweight.

Since it's Man-Faye, more than likely, and the whole publicity thing has gone to his head and he's just a big prick now...I don't mind what he does...but I'd still say that he should have done it in good taste. Now he's just another fad that I'm waiting to see die.

Of course it's Man-Faye. I've met him several times, knew him since he started this thing in AX02, but he gained extreme notoriety at AX03, was threatened with arrest at AX04 and was denied a badge at AX05, but still had a rally in front of the convention center. This year was the year he was given an industry badge and marched, with otaku entourage in tow, into the exhibit hall to give interviews to the press.

I was there at EVERY single step of this ridiculous journey. I've seen it all firsthand.

I used to support him, back when he first started this. But now he's just a fixture to AX and a one-hit wonder to boot. This past con, I watched him run up to different groups of cosplayers, shouting, ""May-Faye's here! Man-Faye's here! Let him through!" for himself.

Honestly, what he did wrong was he kept pulling the little yellow pants up so high that much more was hanging out than necessary and being on Disney's property they had the right to deny him entry into their convention center. And when he was doing it on city property, it became the cop's authority to arrest him for indecent exposure.

Here he is being threatened with arrest:


Note that he puts on airs for the otaku, but then suddenly is silent and obedient with no edge for his so-called protest of the first amendment when talking with the police.

He's just an attention whore who's claiming all sorts of nonsense to back up his need for people to look at him and worship him. I remember during the rally of '05 he was going on about his fight being like that of the disabled because he has a hairy ass and no one accepts it.

He was so full of himself and needing to get back in the spotlight that he went on "Who Wants to be a Superhero?"

I'm sorry, rights or no rights, he was breaking the law and even if a female cosplayer 10 feet away is hanging out of her dress, he's still no freedom fighter. The law should be enforced on both sexes, equally.

That guy scares me O.O He's wearing a yellow speedo, and unless they outlaw yellow speedos he shouldn't have been punished. No ifs ands or buts.(hairy butts rather) At least in my opinion, if it's acceptable to be worn somewhere else, then it should be acceptible all over. I don't know if he was falling out of his speedo, but as long as everything was...covered up..then he should have received no penalty or warning for it. The seconds something falls out, however, lock his ass in jail.

Legal? Yes. Moral, or in the least bit decent? No.

However, he did continue to try getting on property that he was denied entry on. As such, he could be charged with crimes equal to indecent exposure. I say just have people denying him entry, by physical force if neccesary, and the second he resists, hopefully with violence, he's gone into jail.

You see, if I was in charge of these things, everything would be much simpler and happier, wouldn't it?

No one would have said anything if a female was doing anything of the sort, just noting.

In converse of this, at AX, I've watched female sign-carriers be removed from the con for carrying signs that read, "Will glomp you for money" or "Will yuri for $$$$" because their signs were considered soliciting. All this while you'll see about twice as many guys walking around with signs that have the exact same gist. Go figure.

Again, I say the rules should be enforced all the way around. Then no one can have fun.
