Last Monday afternoon, an article was posted on PREVIEWSworld.com by Vince Brusio called, “SDCC: A Last Look at the Ladies.” Unfortunately, the tone of the article was quite sexist and leering. It was illustrated with photos that appeared to consist primarily of models hired to wear costumes at booths rather than cosplaying attendees, and included this…
