General Fusion Evolution Code of Conduct
Fusion Evolution workshops and shows exist for the enjoyment and enrichment of the general community.
To ensure that the greatest number of people achieve this objective, we have established this Code of Conduct. By this Code, we seek only to ensure that the behavior of any individual or group does not disturb the membership as a whole, nor does it detract from the overall enjoyment of our events.
It is important that you read and understand this Code. Anyone who attends is expected to follow this Code for the entire duration of the event, including any informal pre- or post-event activities. Fusion Evolution reserves the right to amend these rules at any time without prior or posted notice and reserves the sole right of interpretation.
Please keep in mind that these rules are put in place to ensure the safety and comfort of our attendees. They are not all inclusive. In all cases, the singular rule that supersedes all others is, "Any action or behavior that is illegal or causes significant interference with event operations, excessive discomfort to other attendees, or adversely affects Fusion Evolution’s relationship with its guests, its teachers, its performers, its venue, or the public is strictly forbidden and may result in revocation of attendance privileges."
Although we anticipate no difficulties, Fusion Evolution is prepared to deal with any issues related to the Code in as rapid and efficient a manner as possible should they occur. We thank our members and attendees for their past cooperation and for their continued assistance in making Fusion Evolution events enjoyable experiences for everyone. Have fun and please remember to be courteous of those around you while doing so!
I. Respect for Others
Fusion Evolution wants all its attendees to enjoy themselves at its events. As such, we ask that you respect each other. These events should be a space where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable. Fusion Evolution forbids abusive, insulting, harassing, and / or intimidating behavior which includes, but is not limited to, stalking, physical or verbal intimidation, discriminatory comments, inappropriate physical contact, hate group iconography and unwelcome sexual attention.
Consent: Only "yes" means yes. If a person does not express clear consent for attention or personal intervention, then consent has not been given. Discrimination (based on, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical / mental disability) is not tolerated.
Harassment of any kind is not tolerated.
It includes but is not limited to:
Participants asked to stop behavior that is perceived as harassing must comply immediately.
Racism of any kind will not be tolerated. Fusion Evolution events are inclusive to people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Iconography & Sexualized Imagery/Discussion: As we strive to provide a welcoming, safe environment for all attendees, we expressly forbid sexual images and symbols associated with historical atrocities and current hate groups from public* spaces at the convention. The following outlines the allowed exclusions: Sexualized imagery or discussion related to sex, pornography, discriminatory language or similar is allowed if it meets all of the following criteria: (a) organizers have specifically granted permission in writing; (b) it is necessary to the topic of discussion and no alternative exists; (c) it is presented in a respectful manner, especially towards women and LGBTQIA people; and (d) attendees are warned in advance verbally or in the program and respectfully given ample warning and opportunity to leave beforehand. This exception does not allow use of gratuitous sexual images as attention-getting devices or unnecessary examples. Hate based iconography is strictly forbidden from all public and event space. It includes (but is not limited to iconography, paraphernalia, and cosplay representative of Nazi, neo-Nazi, KKK, and other hate groups). Anyone wearing or displaying an item of clothing, prop, or other item considered a hate symbol will be asked to remove it from the convention and refusal to do so will result in ejection from the convention without refund.
II. How to report instances of disrespect
If you feel that you are being discriminated against, harassed, or if you notice someone behaving inappropriately we respectfully suggest the following:
1. If you feel comfortable doing so, point out the inappropriate behavior to the person(s) involved. Often this will solve the problem immediately.
2. If you do not feel comfortable talking with the person(s) involved, or if talking to them does not resolve the issue, please report the situation as soon as you are able to Event Organizers located at the Registration Desk. It would be extremely helpful if you could provide a name, and/or physical description of the person(s) involved.
III. Response to Violations of the Code of Conduct
1. Fusion Evolution reserves the right to revoke without refund, the attendance of anyone for just cause, and eject anyone at any time from the event.
2. Failure to adhere to any of the above policies may result in a number of possible consequences. Consequences include, but are not limited to, the following:
