Motor City Comic Con is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, age, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Use of sexual or discriminatory language and imagery is never appropriate at the Motor City Comic Con. Anyone violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the event organizers

Harassment includes, but is not limited to, offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, national origin, religion, age, marital status, military status, or any other status protected by law; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; display of offensive signs, gestures, T-shirts, symbols, etc. Attendees asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sexual harassment does not refer to occasional compliments or other generally acceptable social behavior. Sexual harassment refers to verbal, physical, and visual conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome and offensive to the recipient. By way of example, sexual harassment may include such conduct as sexual flirtations, advances, or propositions; verbal comments or physical actions of a sexual nature; sexually degrading words used to describe an individual; an unwelcome display of sexually suggestive objects or pictures; sexually explicit jokes; and offensive, unwanted physical contact such as patting, pinching, grabbing, groping, or constant brushing against another’s body. Overly revealing cosplay may result in requesting violators to cover and/or leave the convention floor. No costume is not considered a real costume. Attendees asked to stop any sexually harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

This Anti-Harassment Policy applies to all attendees at the Motor City Comic Con, including participants/attendees, guests, staff, and exhibitors. All attendees are expected to comply with this Event Anti-Harassment Policy at the event venue and all event-related social events.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a Motor City Comic Con staff member immediately. Motor City Comic Con staff can be identified with their official staff name badges. All complaints will be treated seriously and will be investigated promptly. If you cannot find a staff member to assist you, please go to registration located just inside the main entrance of the exhibition floor.

All reports of harassment will be directed immediately to Motor City Comic Con organizers who may consult with and engage other staff, leaders, and legal counsel as appropriate. Event security and/or local law enforcement may be involved, as appropriate based on the specific circumstances. In response to a report of harassment, the Motor City Comic Con may take any action they deem appropriate. Such actions range from a verbal warning to ejection from the event without a refund. Repeat offenders may be subject to further disciplinary action, such as being banned from participating in any future events.
