We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free event for everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, or religious beliefs. We do not tolerate harassment, verbally or physically, of convention attendees, volunteers, staff, or guests.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to:
- gender
- sexual orientation
- disability
- physical appearance
- body size
- race
- religion
- sexual images in public spaces
- deliberate intimidation
- stalking
- following
- harassing photography or recording
- sustained disruption of talks or other events
- inappropriate physical contact
- unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
We investigate reports of harassment during the event and will take appropriate action to respond to legitimate claims including but not limited to, revocation of convention membership, barring offending persons from convention space, and informing the venue/hotel that offending persons are no longer eligible for the convention room rate. This may result in additional actions such as but not limited to, revocation of the convention room rate and removal from the premises, at the hotel/venue’s discretion.
Mid-Atlantic Anthropomorphic Association, Inc. also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refer reports of harassment to Hotel/Venue security and to law enforcement.
People who harass our attendees, volunteers, staff, and guests (including by attempting to abuse this policy) are not welcome at our events.
Fursuiting/Cosplay is Not Consent
Just because they’re wearing a fursuit, does not mean that they want to be touched. Please be sure to ask permission before touching anyone.
Mid-Atlantic Anthropomorphic Association, Inc. does not allow anyone that is required to be on a sexual offender registry to attend our events. By registering, accepting an attendee badge, or by attending any MidAnthro events, the attendee attests that they are not listed on any sexual offender registry. Anyone found to be on a sexual offender registry after the fact will have their registrations cancelled without refund and removed from the event.
