Tl;dr especially those who can't read french, someone cosplaying as a villain from Hazbin Hotel at a convention had a prop gun pointed at them by someone and threatened them with their life, telling them to avoid people, especially ones cosplaying as another character because them cosplaying as a villain means they condone everything they do. And the Convention staff just watched and let this happen simply because it wasn't a real gun despite clear disruptions and harassment.

This is modern society folks.

No you shouldn't cosplay as him because somebody who likes Aeris might stab you

There's always reprehensible people in each fandom. But it's always disgusting no matter the context.

I've experienced this myself on Halloween. I had a teenager pull a pistol on me because I was dressed up as a scary character.

This reads less like actual threats and more like the usual LARPing that happens at cons. I don't get even the slightest sense that anyone actually threatened anyone.

Yeah, I think it was mostly just people going along with the joke in their minds. Not cool to do without the other person's consent, but I also feel this person is a little more sensitive than most.

It's been a looong time since I've been to any kind of convention proper, but even back then any prop had to be checked in with security and either: peacebound, have a ribbon put on it, or otherwise be checked for obvious markings like a bright orange barrel. There's almost a zero percent chance the gun in these scenarios was realistic enough to warrant concern.
