"Things need to change. BV doesn't belong at cons anymore due to his behavior. Tac gear and prop weapons don't belong at furry conventions. You wanna be a cospatriot? Join the military. I'm tired of seeing this stuff outside my years of service bc you think it looks "cool" @DeltaNoises on Twitter:"

"Pedro has made a habit of bringing prop firearms to go with his Bomb Voyage cosplay to conventions. The first time was perhaps poor decision making, but still an accident. However, after receiving negative feedback after each con from attendees, he's doubled down. He has explicitly stated his intention to cause "panic and disorder" with a realistic looking firearm [1]. His follow-up was gloating about the fear he caused [2]. He's been photographed and videotaped barrel sweeping groups of congoers [3], being confronted by the police [4], and being a general nuisance on the con floor. He has escalated his behavior each con, and has made every indication that he plans on continuing."

"I believe this behavior goes far past simple bad manners and con etiquette of "be nice". It presents a real danger to attendees, staff, and the venue. The orange tape meant to indicate a prop is hard to see at a distance or in low light, and can easily be mistaken for a real gun. Guns in a crowd result in the cops and SWAT teams being called. Panics can result in crowd crushes and trampling, especially when people are in cumbersome costumes with poor visibility.
