At FiveStarCon, we believe everyone deserves a safe, respectful, and enjoyable experience—whether you're in costume or not.

We celebrate creativity and cosplay, but it’s important to remember:

Just because someone is wearing a costume—no matter how revealing, detailed, or impressive—does not give anyone permission to:

Always ask first before taking photos or videos of someone in costume.
Keep your hands to yourself. Never touch a cosplayer, their costume, or props without clear consent.
Compliment respectfully. Flirting, lewd comments, or crude jokes are not welcome.
No means no. If someone asks you to stop, do so immediately and respectfully.

Harassment of any kind—verbal, physical, visual, or digital—will be dealt with seriously and swiftly. This includes but is not limited to:

If you feel harassed or see something inappropriate:

Find a staff member or security officer immediately.
Visit the Info/Help Desk or call the Emergency Contact Number provided in your event program.
Reports can be made anonymously and will be taken seriously.

All staff are trained to respond with discretion and respect. Your safety is our priority.

FiveStarCon reserves the right to:

Cosplay is about fun, fandom, and self-expression. Let’s work together to ensure every attendee feels welcome, respected, and safe.
