Festival organizers “Starcon», Dedicated to science fiction, cinema and science, announced changes in the festival program. Instead of a fitness cosplay competition, which took into account the physical fitness of cosplayers, they decided to hold a “special competition” Hot Coffee.
The name Hot Coffee is well known to everyone who follows the activities of the company. Rockstar games, and the story was additionally reminded. After in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas a hidden sexual mini-game was found, the rating of the project had to be changed to a more “adult” one, in some places it was completely withdrawn from the sale, and on Take-Two Interactive, the publisher, was sued.

As we remember, the Hot Coffee scandal brought losses to Take-Two Interactive, after which the company changed its leadership. Rockstar had to pay almost $ 5 million to those who claimed moral damage, and the topic of Hot Coffee is still considered indecent in the ranks of Rockstar.
History repeats itself: the organizers of “Starcon” faced outrage from cosplayers, who were so dissatisfied with excessive objectification and an unhealthy atmosphere at a number of public events. The hashtag was launched on the network #janeidunastarkon, which gained even more popularity after the administrators of social networks “Starkon” got into controversy with critics.
