We want to create a welcoming, friendly, inclusive and family-friendly festival.
We expect all participants to behave in a reasonable, polite and orderly manner towards other participants, exhibitors, cosplayers and volunteers.
We ask that harassing behavior does not take place. Such as:
- Unwanted physical contact
- Unwanted sexual comments or contact
- Condescending, offensive comments that can cause discomfort
- Portrait photography and video recording without consent
- Intimidating behavior and stalking of other participants
The above behavior may lead to you being asked to leave the festival.
Specifically for contact with cosplayers
The cardinal rule of all: Cosplay is not consent.
- Always ask permission before photographing a cosplayer. Respect a no!
- Always ask permission before touching a cosplayer’s costume. Respect a no!
- Copenhagen Comics does not tolerate the denigration and ridicule of cosplayers.
- Social media is not consent. Do not share photos/videos of anyone on tiktok, snapchat, youtube, instagram or other social media without that person’s permission.
Remember: The Danish Personal Data Act also applies at Copenhagen Comics, cf. “Act on the Processing of Personal Data”, Act no. 429 of 31/05/2000.
All our volunteers and guards are trained to handle the interaction between audience and cosplayers. If you as a cosplayer experience or witness an uncomfortable situation at the festival, you should immediately contact a volunteer.
