Keep Your Hands To Yourself.
Always ask for permission first before taking a picture of someone.
The culture of Cosplay is one of fun, creativity, and mutual respect. Unfortunately, not every fan adheres to the "respect" part. Cosplay is NOT Consent - and cosplayers who dress in (sometimes) revealing costumes should not accept inappropriate behavior from their peers.
If any Cosplayer feels harassed please notify show staff.
Anyone in violation of this rule will be banned for life from our show.
