I’ve thought about this a little bit more and I think I can understand why this could present a dangerous situation for con-goers or emergency services. I think there was a level of con mismanagement that led to this being bigger than it needed to be

I should add that I don’t think we should be attacking this guy or anyone involved in this situation. I think we should be focused on discussing whether props like this should even be allowed at cons which according to FWA’s policy it probably should not have even though they did

@ObservantJefe Gotta love twitter… omg people are having fun! In a way that weird and not hurting anyone! Shut it down!!

@sammyfranziska I kind of understand the angle people are coming from but in this case it doesn’t make any sense. You could see in the end of one the videos someone took him literally giving the gun back to the original guy I just hate this constant outrage posting lol

@ObservantJefe I think it’s more the angle of what if normies saw it who didn’t know or staff just walking in. At first glance you’re like umm what and then see him taking aim and you’re like oh no. So I think that’s why some are upset.

@RamenDeer I understand that angle but I think it just doesn’t make sense in this specific scenario with Bon voyage

@ObservantJefe well considering at the same convention someone was robbed at gun point i would be cautious of such things

@CalmMilk So you have any proof of this? I saw the video of a fursuit we in a fight but I hear no such story about that

@ObservantJefe I get the meme and the antics were great. But i also get the whole “please no prop guns” stuff in an era where just about every con gets a mass shooter threat. Like imma just say it was still a miss thats being blown out of proportion by dudes with fomo.

@bluecoyote I think it is a valid concern for emergency services especially in an active situation it would cause severe confusion I imagine but I don’t think a lot of these people are arguing in that way. I also think this prop broke policy technically according to the way it written

@ObservantJefe I’m assuming you’ve never had a shooting threat to your school. Or at an event you’ve attended. Or in your own home. If you see a gun at a large event like this and cannot tell if it’s fake or not there is a problem. It can cause people to panic. It makes people uncomfortable.…

@SpicyBeetle_ There was an incident where someone brought a gun to my high school and we went on lockdown. Thankfully they didn’t intend to shoot anyone there but I know how much of an issue it is America. I understand the dangers of firearms and I own a few of them

@ObservantJefe Doing it for attention. I am guilty of feeding that attention, but I gotta see what makes em tick

@ObservantJefe If they had their way, conventions would become boring, drab, and most cosplay would be censored or banned for being problematic. I wanna see funny people dress up with everything they got, using every creative muscle they got. I want to see the movie and game references people…

@ObservantJefe I think this is a great time for everyone to reconsider who this "beloved character" is and realize they're just an anti-fur op and they've been laughing at all of us for their successful infiltration.

@ObservantJefe This post made me chuckles....not your, the original ones 😆

@ObservantJefe Imagine bringing a real gun to a furry convention 😂

@ObservantJefe I would've put a brighter orange tip on the barrel honestly. If you can get an orange plastic bright enough.

@ObservantJefe It was one of those moments where I knew someone was going to get upset about it online, but as someone who was there in person (plus it's Bomb Voyage) I enjoyed the laugh. I don't take anything the dude does seriously lol.

@ObservantJefe Just put a brightly coloured 3d printed barrel sheath on it. I will give some credit that the tip is real small so at a distance you can't see it. I think the outrage is overblown but he solution is compromise and just make it more evident it's fake.
