COMMUNITY ADVOCACY & SAFETY STANDARDS

Cosplay Is Not Consent: Our Code of Ethics

AnimeBabes stands firmly for safe, inclusive, and welcoming convention spaces for creators, photographers, and fans of all backgrounds.

1

Always Ask Before Taking Photos

Respect creator boundaries. Always request permission before filming, photographing, or asking cosplayers to pose, especially during personal downtime or eating.

2

Cosplay is NOT Consent

Costumes, regardless of design or character choice, never imply consent for unwanted physical contact, inappropriate comments, or harassment.

3

Prop Safety & Weapon Peace-Bonding

All convention props must undergo official security inspection and receive peace-bonding tags. Metal blades and functional projectile weapons are strictly prohibited.

4

Respect Personal Space & Equipment

Cosplay props, wings, and armor rigs represent hundreds of hours of delicate handcrafting. Maintain safe distances to avoid damaging intricate fabrications.
