Hello all!
I’ve been sitting on this story all morning wondering if it belongs in the Not Always Friendly feed or not. It’s about a creeper getting a bit of comeuppance, but it’s also carried out through violence and theft. Should we publish it? The completely unedited story is below:
Convention, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
My friend is a crossplayer. He’s a guy, and he identifies as male, but he dresses as female anime characters for conventions. I’m a woman.
We’re at Gencon together. My friend and I separate for a bit because we want to go see different panels. One girl warns me that a creep has been harassing women near where my friend is seeing his pannel. I make note of it, and text him a warning. He texts back that ‘I know’ and ‘We should probably leave now’
I head back to the car to meet him. I’m a little upset that we’re cutting this day short, tickets are expensive, so I demand that he explain what happened.
“Well” he said “This guy started catcalling me. I didn’t realize he was talking to me because he kept saying girl this and girl that. He got in my face and demanded I pay attention to him, then waved a fifty dollar bill under my nose and said he’d pay me fifty dollars if I showed him my pussy”
“So… what did you do, flash him your dick?” I asked.
“No.” My friend said “I punched him, grabbed the fifty dollars, and ran away.”
We then returned to the hotel, and we got my friend into men’s clothing and washed off his makeup, so he’d be unrecognizable, then returned to GenCon. Security was heightened when we got back, but we weren’t sure if that was because of presence the creeper, or if that was because my friend punched the creeper.
