I love this ad too because the berserk fandom is a cesspit as well.

    It still feels like cosplay babes are a sort of loophole around that because some of the costumes they wear are more revealing than what booth babes wore.

    At the very least, cosplay babes fit into the overall scene. Booth babes were just a weird thing to have and none of them looked like they wanted to be there.

      Yeah, that is a good point. I haven’t been to these conventions in over a decade, but it does sound like cosplay babes essentially serve the same purpose as booth babes did in terms of promotion and titillation, but in such a way that they can get away with it.
