Following the incident, MizCaramelVixen said she was embarrassed and ashamed and felt she’d been singled out because of her size, noting several other women in costume not being told to cover up. After posting her experience on social media, a woman from Reed named Lacey found MizCaramelVixen and offered apologies as well as coupons for a t-shirt and pint glass. She did not redeem them. We reached out to both her and Reed for comment to find out more about the story from both sides. MizCaramelVixen told us, “I have never been harassed at any conventions before or even during Free Comic Book Day, this was my first experience. It was very painful, I hope to NEVER feel like that again.”
Can I tell a funny story about Red Sonja covers?” interjected Simone. “So Jenny does the main covers for Red Sonja, and all the variants are done by female artists. And we were sitting at a convention just talking, myself and some female artists, and it was the best conversation ever. It was all about how to draw the boobs. And listening to these female artists talk about it was completely different from how a lot of male artists talk about it. They kept saying things like ‘the weight of the underboob,’ and the shape, and if she’s flipping up in the air where would those really be? And I was just sitting there thinking, ‘This is the best conversation that has ever existed.’"
