Well, I won't say what I would do. Over on the right is a link to a forum I am a member of called The Replica Prop Forum. You can click on it and it will take you there. One of the members posted about an article on a "Gentlemans" website, that was rather crude about Female costumers/cosplayers. So, I click on over to see what was written, and immediately felt my blood pressure start to rise. The link I will put below.
The Worst Black Widow cosplay pictures on the internet
Now I don't know those women costumers/cosplayers. I DO however speak to other member who DO know them. I also know about how much work goes into making those costumes. Many of these female costumers/cosplayers, do this for many reasons. Several of them create these costumes, sew them themselves, spend their time and money to do this. A few of the ladies also enjoy volunteering at local hospitals and charities to help kids. For this misogynistic cretin to degrade them for a laugh in order to get a few page views to increase his paid advertising is repulsive to me. His so-called apology, isn't. It's an attempt to divert a bunch of upset people. Women and men, one being myself, from spreading bad publicity about his site. His so-called apology posted below.
Cosplay aficionados, I have something to say to you
I find his apology, less than apologetic. And more of a leave me alone, quit being mean to me. It was just a joke.
Sorry, it isn't a joke when you demean someone like you did, and to do so in such a public fashion as well. I would suggest you read the comments over there, as his denunciations become louder and less comprehensible.
I'm going to take some tylenol and lie down for a bit.
