CON.TXT Vid Show Warnings Policy
Convention-wide Warnings
Convention-wide warnings are content notes that CON.TXT requires for vids screened at official CON.TXT events. For the CON.TXT vid show, the vid committee will also list additional content notes if provided by the vidder, as described in the "Other Warnings" section. VJs for panel vidshows are required to use convention-wide warnings but may have a different approach to including additional content notes.
In instances where vid content seemed borderline or very brief, the vid show committee erred on the side of including the warning.
While every attempt is made to ensure that warnings are complete and accurate, VJs may not be familiar with all vid sources represented. As such, warnings are provided based on the content of the vid and may not capture the broader context of the source material.
This list of warnings does not imply that a vid with this content will be screened at the convention. Also, please note that sexual content is not warned for. CON.TXT is an 18+ convention.
The following convention-wide warnings are currently in effect.
Animal Harm: Depictions of harm to animals.
Auditory Triggers: Sudden volume changes.
Blood: Minor amounts of blood.
Canonical Major Character Death: On-screen death of a major character.
Depictions of Police: Police acting in their capacity as law enforcement.
Gore: Significant amounts of blood and/or viscera.
Holocaust and/or Nazi Imagery: Holocaust or Nazi imagery or symbolism and/or imagery intended to be suggestive of such.
Homophobia: Depictions of homophobia and/or homophobic violence.
Incest: Depictions of romantic or sexual content between close relatives.
Racism: Depictions of racism and/or racist violence.
Self-harm: Depictions of self-harm.
Sexual Assault/Violence: Depictions of sexual assault or violence.
Suicide: Depictions of suicide and attempted suicide.
Transphobia: Depictions of transphobia and/or transphobic violence.
Violence: Depictions of any type of violence or threat thereof.
Visual Triggers: Stuttery or quick cuts and/or strobing lights or bright flashes
Other Warnings
Other warnings are for content notes provided by individual vidders that are not covered by the convention-wide warnings. These were included if the vid show committee or VJ was able to locate them. If a vidder-provided warning was covered by a convention-wide warning, the convention-wide warning was used for consistency.
