VidCon says it will have an anti-harassment policy in place this year
Every convention needs a strong stance against sexual harassment in con spaces. So where is VidCon’s?
Following the sexual harassment allegations leveled against DFTBA stars Alex Day and Tom Milsom back in March, DFTBA co-founder Hank Green announced that he would be organizing a Task Force to help prevent similar cases in the future.
The Green brothers are the founders of VidCon, the first and biggest convention dedicated to the YouTube vlogging and creative community. So drawing up a code of conduct for VidCon seems like a pretty simple step towards achieving the goal of prevention.
The Daily Dot reached out to VidCon to clarify whether they had plans to implement any kind of harassment policy, and received a positive reply:
“VidCon has always planned on disseminating and enforcing an official code of conduct policy prior to the execution of this year’s event.”
