You can look, but you cannot touch.

Will definitely be worth it. Sad that something like this is needed but it will clearly help remind people.

this is a great idea, although people should know better but it will re-inforce people to think twice about what they're doing

I feel this is a very important matter.

While this really shouldn't be needed (since it should be common sense), this is an amazing idea! Props to whoever decided to make a petition!

Although these signs shouldn't be needed, it seems that people still do not understand that costumes are not approval for any sexual involvement.

Let's make this happen so every con eventually makes this happen

I an terrified to wear the cosplays I want to wear because of this reason. I once cosplayed GLaDOS, which involved me wearing a white spandex suit with 'Aperture' written across the chest. I also wore two form correcting body suits underneath due to the white suit being quite see through. People loved it and wanted lots of pictures, but I also got the odd comments here and there that fired up my anxiety tenfold. It wasn't a great feeling. I want to be able to cosplay what I want without having to worry about these things.

I wholly support that inclusion of signs like this at cons are sadly a necessary addition.

Women dressed in cosplay is not consent to fuck them, I dont believe that anybody could use this excuse, yes they look sexy, but they look just like the characters they are trying to portray, do you fuck your computer screen?

Dressing up does not give anyone consent to touch or harassing

I completely agree with this. Rumors of getting attacked at Comicon by creepers has dissuaded many people from attending them. I'm 100% in favour of this.
