During The Fancy Frontier manga and anime expo held in Taipei last weekend, a female cosplayer allegedly exposed her private parts during a photo shoot, and thus contravened the Act on Offenses Against Sexual Morality, according to the Taipei Times.

The cosplayer was allegedly not wearing any underwear when she lifted up her skirt during an outdoor photo shoot near the venue.

Not only did she draw the ire of the organizers, but also the online cosplay community, who have reportedly been urging her not to do damage to the public perception of the cosplay community and artform, and could damage a cosplay organization or cosplay directory that she is associated with.

Since 2012, event organizers have implemented both rules and regulations regarding outfits worn by cosplayers inside the expo hall, citing an incident at the manga expo they held at National Taiwan University Sports Center years ago.

During the 2012 event, a Japenese cosplayer known as “50 horses” took off her skirt to expose her thighs and butt in an attempt to boost the sales of her comic products, organizers say.

Despite the incident that occurred last weekend, organizers can only regulate people that are inside the rented expo hall, and do not have regulatory power over private photography going on outside the evnue.

A Twitch streamer from Fresno, California has filed a civil lawsuit against a fellow streamer who claims that he sexually harassed her.

Travis Mellon, 35, goes by the name of ‘HJTenchi’ on Twitch, is suing cosplayer and streamer Danica Rockwood who accused Mellon of sexual abuse, harassment and sending inappropriate photos of himself, according to the Fresno Bee.

Rockwood, 28, posted on her Twitter page that Mellon took advantage of their friendship by asking for “lewd pictures” and “sexting texts”, and also created a Google document to compile complaints of other women that Mellon allegedly harassed.

Furthermore Rockwood called Mellon a “sexual abuser” during one of her live streams.

Mellon’s attorney Mark Coleman, of Nuttall & Coleman, said that the messaging between the two was consensual, when commenting on the matter in the article.

“In the context of their relationship the text messages were appropriate and reciprocated,” Coleman said, per the article.

Coleman wrote in the lawsuit that “She (Rockwood) urged women to turn on Mr. Mellon in an attempt to ruin his livelihood.” Coleman said that Rockwood’s supporters harassed Melon while he was streaming.

“Mr. Mellon was attacked multiple times in his Twitch broadcast’s chat for hours by people calling him a sexual assaulter, predator, etc.” according to the lawsuit filed by Mellon’s legal representation.

Mellon alleges that he and Rockwood were in an “online and in-person intimate relationship between the years of 2016-2018.”

Rockwood’s allegations were mentioned in an article on Wired detailing sexual harassment in the gaming industry.

A case management hearing is scheduled for November 19, 2020 in Fresno County Superior Court.
