Hi Weebz and Waifus,
Here at
@fntsyxp , everything we do begins with creativity. Our events are built around the people who imagine, draw, craft, and bring entire worlds to life. In the past we’ve made the mistake of using generative AI. We’ve reflected and learned from that experience, and since then, we’ve made a clear commitment to eliminate AI imagery from our promotions entirely. Our mission moving forward is to protect, promote, and celebrate real artistry in every form.
We hope we didn’t let you down, and that this message shows our genuine effort to make things right and rebuild stronger relationships within our artist community. Because of that, we have a deep responsibility to protect the work of real artists and respect the effort that goes into every piece shared in our spaces.
AI-generated artwork will not be permitted for sale or display in Artist Alley or Vendor spaces.
This includes prints, posters, apparel, stickers, mugs, accessories, or any item created using AI tools that produce visual content.
We recognize that AI can be a tool in many areas. But within our creative community, it’s important to keep the spotlight on human talent and imagination. AI-generated images often rely on existing works to “learn,” which can blur the lines of ownership and consent. We believe that art should come from artists. People who choose to share their vision with intention and heart.
If AI-generated work is found for sale during the event, we’ll ask the vendor to remove it. Continued violation may result in removal from the event and restrictions on future participation.
Our goal is simple: to make Weebz & Waifus a place where originality is honored and creativity feels safe. We want every artist, cosplayer, and creator who participates to know that their work matters and that we stand beside them.
Thank you for helping us keep this community rooted in respect and authenticity.
With appreciation,
The FNTSYXP Team
