I spoke up because people like you kept insisting that people like me didn't exist. Which you're still doing.

The first couple of pages of responses before the OP disappeared have a distinct lascivious undertone, like a chatlog on a camgirl website. "Ooh, do this! Ooh, do that! Oh, where'd she go?" It's there, it's pretty obvious, and the discomfort I felt from reading through it was genuine. I don't care if the OP didn't have a problem with it, I don't care if KeiichiO didn't have a problem with it, I have a problem with it. And if I was the only one who does, I'd be very, very surprised.

Doubt my authenticity if that makes you feel better.

If you suggest locking a thread, you should make a stronger argument than "It personally makes me uncomfortable". You don't have to go on this thread if you don't approve of what's going on, and you really shouldn't be shocked that people are making that kind of suggestions on a cosplay thread.
You are not an Ancap (hopefully) and the world doesn't rotate around you, so your personal disapproval does not warrant a lock.

Since this is a KS cosplay and nothing illegal is going on here, there is no reason to ask the mods to intervene, and in fact evem suggesting it could get you banned for trolling.

In short, if you don't like girls making cosplays and guys (and girls too) making suggestion, just don't click on an "Emi Iberazaki cosplay" :/

I was creeped out by it, and I'm male. ^^°

Some of the comments back then were indeed a bit shifty, but that is not a reason to lock the thread

On a privately-owned forum, something doesn't need to be illegal in order to be locked. If one or more members think a thread is a bit of a creepfest (which this frankly kind of is) and the moderator agrees with their case, then it gets locked. Otherwise it stays open. Simple as that.

The fact that the original poster left and people kept talking on and on about her and how cute she was and why won't she please come back!?! is a good enough reason to lock it.

The topic was over at that point. The only thing left was the drooling.

By that logic, a fanfiction that is no longer updated but still gets comments should be locked. there were like, two comments asking if this is still a thing and then an innocent discussion started when you started to shit on this thread.

You seem to be missing the point of cosplay, and since there's no "NO COSPLAY RULE" there is no reason to ask for a lock.

Not to mention she already said she will come back, so locking it for inactivity is a groundless request.

Exactly how many people need to tell you that this thread is creeping them out before you stop saying "but we're not doing anything wrong! YOU are the one that are wrong!"?

If I'm not mistaken, I was the first to comment on how some of these comments are over the line, you can check if you want. However, locking this thread is not a good solution for this.
I can't imagine you REALLY find this so offensive and unberable that you MUST see this thread oblitirated, because you can simply ignore it if that's the case. My conclusion is that you're trying to get attention by fighting for your percived justice at all costs. This is backed up by the fact you claim to want this topic to die, yet continue on inciting argument in it and encouraging response. If that's the case, please stop, if not I apologise for misjudging your motives.

Yeah, welcome to one reason why we don't allow requests on here exactly.

Moderationwise, there is no particular objection to people making asses of themselves by themselves. Yes, I have seen and still see quite a bit of that in this thread, but surprisingly it's not my job to correct that.

Now my opinion, and I underlined and italicized that in the hope to make it completely clear that I'm not talking in any official way, is that people here could do better by not behaving like hyperactive grade schoolers, because that's what you look like when you squee and spaz over anything on the Internet. Small text doesn't change this. Spoiler tags don't change this. Strikeouts don't change this. Posting "ironically" doesn't change this. Not doing it all the time every time would change this, but the minute it gets suggested people start decrying the "NO FUN ALLOWED" signs, and who am I to tell people how to have fun? So have fun, but I still believe you're making fools out of yourselves. Regularly.

My job, however, is to ensure that discussion stays civil. A certain amount of rudeness is tolerated because forums of an adult - oh, the irony - game, Internet, and everyone's fuses being cut to different lengths. But the minute personal attacks get pulled out, that's a different matter.

You want to highlight what you think to be unacceptable behavior, you have the report button. Think before using it.

Now, can we all calm down and take a long breath before posting or do I have to apply the rules strictly, which pretty much means warning or telling off nearly every single user who posted in this thread - if your first thought on reading this was "oh shit, does he mean me too" then YES, I mean you too - and probably hand out a ban or two as well?

Fuck me, shit really hit the fan over here
I'd love to see her reaction

There's a small chance we've already seen it...

Man, I wouldn't. Seriously, this cosplayer is a person, this is gonna be disappointing at best.

Yeah, if she does return then she could end up feeling pretty disturbed if she reads through it all, which will be a massive shame due to the deplorable lack of cosplay here. If we're lucky she'll shrug it off, but I missed quite a bit of it that I haven't read so I don't know exactly what's been said. Fingers crossed.

None of it was directed at her or her cosplay. there is no reason for her to feel uncomfortable.
