(Anonymous) 2012-01-16 01:39 am (UTC)(link)Like I said, I don't know anything about Hetalia fandom and I don't give a shit. But I think it would be as easy as getting some concerted effort in the fandom, especially those attending the con, to email the organisers and say, "I don't think Nazi cosplay is appropriate, and visible swastikas/death's heads/Nazi paraphernalia ought to be banned so as to prevent problems both inside the con and with the local population. I would like to suggest that the rules for the convention reflect this and ban visible Nazi symbols from being worn or displayed at the convention." Enough people do it, and you get rules, and ways to exclude the people cosplaying Nazis as opposed to Germany or whatever. It seems pretty bloody simple to me. But the big anime con in my hometown (Baltimore) has been greeted with some trepidation by non-Hetalia nerds because of the amount of Jews in town and the proportion of Holocaust survivors and their families that live here. When the con is downtown and cosplayers are all over the Inner Harbor, it makes people nervous.
But whatever, I'm not in anime. I just think that it's very easy to say "we can't do anything!" and leave the status quo as is when taking steps to push Nazi cosplayers out are pretty damn straight forward, though they will ruffle feathers. It depends on how much you, meaning the fandom in general, value keeping Nazi cosplayers out.
