So, talking about this thing at ECCC, the offer is still good, absolutely (sometimes you just need a smiling face and a safe place for a moment). I make this offer at any convention I am ever attending, any time I have a table.  It is not about ECCC at all. 

But it really also sounds very clear that ECCC is taking this stuff very, very seriously and they had a response here that I think is super helpful.

“We encourage anyone who has been harassed or witnessed such an instant to report it to us if they wish to do so. There will be a “Report An Incident” feature in our mobile app to do so, and you can also talk to us directly through our social media accounts, or talk to any ECCC staff member (identifiable by their green t-shirts and black polo shirts). You are also welcome to go to either of our Information Booths (WSCC fourth floor and sixth floor). We will help you. “

I’ve been hearing from cosplayers who attended ECCC who told me that they have an OUTSTANDING response program at ECCC. So my offer is not at all reflective of any lack of security on ECCC’s part. Cool?  :)

It’s just another place to sit for a moment if you feel the need, and we will make sure you are safe and help if additional steps need to be taken. 

ECCC is great, one of my favorite cons. And I am delighted to hear from cosplayers that they are taking this stuff seriously!
