Remember I told you all about the co-owner of Takopop (@JapanCinema) who made the sexist comments about my friend Kelly, then even fired one of the writers who stood up to him?
Well thanks to the noise we caused, the asshole in question has been removed from the Takopop site entirely, the Editor in Chief wrote a very sincere letter of apology, and the fired writer has his job back!
Of course, you might not want to read the comments section of the apology… but nevertheless, it’s a small victory, and its relevance doesn’t end with cosplayers.
So today the owner of Takopop has shown his true colours, and gone out of his way to harass my friend Kelly on twitter.
(You might know of Kelly, aka Ai Honey, she’s the gorgeous and talented Lilith seen performing with her band in this Borderlands music video.)
Kelly did not even initiate the conversation, yet @JapanCinemafelt it necessary to tell her that not only are all her followers “sex-starved men”(thus relegating her status to nothing but a sex object) but also that she has no talent (just unnecessarily rude).
As we look further into this asshole, we find out that not only is he currently using another cosplayer’s photo as their banner without her permission, but he’s also berated another girl when she complained about her photo also being used without permission!
Right now as I’m writing this he is deleting his offensive tweets and comments but pleaseshare this around so we can out this guy for the sexist shitstain he is.
EDIT: He is now firing anyone who writes for TakoPop who tries to help.
So he’s not just a sexist dickhole, but also incapable of dealing with the issue in any way other than ‘letting go’ of anyone who stands up to him.
Again, please reblog and spread the word.
I’m positive each of the individual writers for takopop are brilliant people, but this guy is making me sick.

I managed to convince Sean to cosplay Soichiro with me to go with Yukino from Kare Kano! It’s a pair I’ve wanted to do for absolutely ages and it was great to finally get a chance to do it. We went for the winter uniforms thanks to the cold weather, and it was an absolute blast!
Sean is super shy with having his photo taken. I was a bit surprised he actually posed for the Pero Pero photos.. ha!
Yukino - cosplayed by Exelia Soichiro - cosplayed by Arphrial Photos - taken by Shido
