Komi: Hi all, we're back!
Mini: This is a continuation of the last entry. If you haven't seen it, you can click here to go to it!
Komi: So here's the general attendees/photographers guidelines with regards to cosplay.
1. Please do not take up walkway areas within the the market space for pictures. We need to keep the walkways free of obstacles in the case of any emergency, thank you.
2. Please ask a cosplayer for permission before you take a picture of them. Taking a photo without asking first is often considered very rude for cosplayers. Also, refrain from taking pictures of cosplays if they are on a break (such as taking a drink of water, eating, sleeping/napping, etc).
3. Please do not force a cosplayer to take on poses they are not comfortable with.
4. Please be courteous towards cosplayers. Do not harass or pressure them in anyway for anything.
5. Any issues not addressed in the above rules will be decided at the discretion of the Minicomi staff and campus security
Mini: That was concise...
Komi: Well, a staff member said the last entry was too random and long...
Mini: But...but it's nice to explain the points....TAT
Komi: Just because people are in cosplay, it doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Remember, a no means a no! If a cosplayer asks you to not to take pictures or to leave them alone, don't bug them even more!
Mini: I'm pretty lucky in that I've never had any harassment or pressuring happen to me, but several of my friends have had the experience. It's a really horrible experience and ruins a lot of people's fun...
(Komi: That's actually because Ninja-san does so much to protect you when you're cosplaying Mini...Thank you so much Ninja-san...)
Komi: So yep, that's pretty much it. If anyone has questions, just ask in the comments!
Mini: Also, the staff would like to share the following information.
If you as an attendee feel uncomfortable due to actions and/or behaviors from anyone, please report it immediately to a security member or a staff member. We wish all our attendees to feel safe and sound and enjoy their experience at Minicomi.
Komi: Hm...how would we identify the security and staff though...
Mini: I believe the staff and security team are still in discussion over that, but the information will be out in due time!
Komi: So everyone keep an eye out on this blog! We will be announcing it here!
You may always review the guidelines here!
Have a question or a concern? Ask away in the comments!
