I hate it for all the fans, but I think the fear driving this decision is understandable. My assumption is that they’re most interested in prohibiting cosplay weapons, and that this isn’t really about face paint.

Vilify, just one ‘L.’
And that’s not what’s happening here, or in even general when discussing the so-called “involuntarily celibate.”

I get the concern about cosplaying as the Joker, but I think it’s unnecessary to ban people from dressing up as Joaquin Phoenix’s character from Space Camp

The third one would make a great Violator (from Spawn) cosplay. The second one reminds me of Peter Serafinowicz… now I want a Peter Serafinowicz Joker film!

Yes, yes, very bad things, in the night, when you should be home in bed, and the abnormals are all out carousing.
Ban cosplay and no one bats an eye lid. Try to ban the guns and everyone loses their minds.
