Sometimes the biggest brightest signs are all you need. I've seen cons that do small signs, it's not enough. Never enough.

It's about respect, common courtesy, and understanding that no means no. It's that simple.

Signs need to be far more prominent and placed everywhere in the building!

Just because I wore a cat suit, doesn't mean my chest and bum are allowed to be grabbed/touched

I think its important for cons to have signs like this and take action when these occurrences are reported. Part of a con experience is seeing people dressed as their favorite characters but they won't if they can't feel comfortable at the con.

Be responsible and safe, look out for each other, have fun, and don’t ruin someone elses con experience and enjoyment just for your own. We’re all human. With feelings, and emotions. Everyone is different. Be courteous and polite, and above all, think about if you’d want it done to you before doing it to someone else.

These signs need to be placed everywhere. Cosplayer getting harassed is not okay.

People need to stop being assholes. It would be sad if cosplaying died out because of this. I feel SO bad for any who have gone through this

Should be there at every con and security should be FOR you not AGAINST you.

Because I've dealt with this bs and it needs to stop. Mcm really needs to start taking some responsibility, especially with it growing in size every con.

This will be my 7th year cosplaying and even though I have been fortunate enough to have never had something like this happen to me I still think everyone needs to understand this. I cosplay to portray a character as accurately as possible. If that means showing tons of skin or no skin at all that gives you no right to touch me just because.

I've never been to a convention before, but reading these situations are pretty annoying and should definitely be stopped and be made aware.

I agree 100%! You ladies cosplay for many reasons, hobby, like the manga/anime/game etc and you should have to be harassed.

Conventions should be a safe place to express your self and show off your costumes. Don't ruin it for people by harassing them
