FanimeCon this year ended up being the final straw in an already-streesed 10 year friendship.
I went with 4 other people, but the relevant ones we'll call D and A.
D's "costume" was a business suit with a HYDRA pin. He would say "Hail HYDRA" about 6 times an hour, and kept making shit jokes like:
>I could play that [piano over there in the lobby], and if they teied to stop me I'd just show them my pin. They'd be like, "Whelp, nothing we can do. He's HYDRA."
One of the events at the con was a black and white ball. There was one girl that we had been hanging with that D was clearly trying to win over, but his approach of showing her pictures of the antique gun he bought, or explaining that he played a Nazi in WWII re-enactments ("Most people want to be the Allies, but not me.") wasn't working.
She ended up asking A to the ball. For the rest of the day, D became a passive-aggressive shit towards A.
After the ball, we saw A getting confronted by a young man. It turns out that he was the girl's brother, and that the girl was 15 years old. After A managed to explain that he didn't know and things cooled off, D gave this tension-breaker.
>Right now I really wish I had my gun, so that I coukd be like Deadpool and go *mimics sniffing gun barrel deeply* "I'm touching myself tonight."
When we didn't laugh and instead gave him looks of disgust (and one of us just said "No."), D said "Thanks for having my back, guys." and stormed off.
He would later claim that he couldn't afford to pay his share of the hotel room, because he had spent all his money on that antique gun.
Later, I would find out that the girl being 15 wouldn't have stopped D, because a few years back he dated a 13 year-old. We're 27.
Needless to say, we're not friends anymore.
