"Brony celebrity" to wear illegal replica of MoH for cosplay.

[quote]Hello /k/. I'm from /mlp/, but hear me out. There's a kind of person. This kind of person is the type who is widely identified as a 'brony celebrity', AND is proud of this kind of title. In other words, this kind of person is cancer. One of these 'brony celebrities' goes by the alias 'Screwball', and he has a Twitter account. Recently he has been putting together some shitty cosplay for some autistic convention or something, and the character wears a golden medallion on a blue ribbon. For this reason, Screwball enthusiastically suggested [pic related]. Yes. An arguably illegal replica of the -blam!-ing Medal of Honor. Now, he's Canadian, so it's easy to see where he may not understand the offense that could be caused from doing such a thing. There was a pretty big backlash. Now, as to be expected of a polite Canadian, one would imagine he would apologise for offending people and trivialising such a sacred military valor. lel, of course not :^) He tweeted a response to all of the negative feedback, which said: >People, me and my friend aren't from America, how are we to know what you deem offensive towards your country?! Educate yourselves. Yeah, you read that right. >Educate yourselves. He's basically said to the people who were offended, 'I'm not American, so Stolen Valor doesn't apply to me, and you need to EDUCATE YOURSELVES'. He then went on to publicly broadcast tweet conversations with his friends regarding the topic, saying things such as; >they're more concerned about about their country's name/army and what they stand for, I don't know before turning his attention to those offended and bluntly saying; >Calm your tits. Now, I'm not from America, but still I'm angered by someone so casually deciding to include a copy of the damn MoH as part of a -blam!-ing My Little Pony convention costume piece. Here's his Twitter, if anyone cares: https://twitter.com/Screwball_SBMF[/quote] Despite technically not being Stolen Valor, I'll still say this one hurts a little.
