Yesterday, a cosplayer complained that she was ‘slut-shamed’ and blamed for the harassment she received by a policeman who’s taking her report at the Kelana Jaya police station.
The 21-year-old woman tweeted that she was told that her cosplaying hobby and lifestyle are partly to blame for the stalking incident.
She said that her stalker had harassed her at the Anime Fest held in Paradigm Mall and she went straight to the police station after the incident while still in her costume.
