I wasn't aware that the Ravage guy who was kicked out of NordicFuzzCon was the same guy who wore pup gear in his military retirement photos, which makes what happened next even funnier. To begin with, I initially assumed the guy was banned outright over how he was dressed, but he stated in the replies he was simply kicked out of the dance.
Real quick: take a minute and imagine yourself as this RavageGeneral guy. You dress up in the suggestive outfit he was wearing, walk into one of the dances, and a member of the convention staff tells you your outfit is inappropriate and removes you from the dance, warning that you need to change or you'll be banned. What would you do next? I'd assume most of you would take the hint, apologize, and change into something more conservative, right?
Well, if you're Ravage, the next move is apparently "dress even skimpier, get banned from the convention, and then go on Twitter and outright lie about why you were banned." Here's a story in several parts:
We start off with a good old-fashioned "haters make me famous!"

We're back to dressing even skimpier:

He says he got in trouble for filming at an event plastered with "NO RECORDING" signs and openly admits to doing it anyway. To top it off, he was out on public streets wearing only a spandex suit and a jockstrap. Needless to say, other furries weren’t impressed and started calling him out in the replies for his behavior.

Here's where he announces he was finally banned, and proceeds to lie that it was because he took his fursuit head off to get a drink of water. The replies were not kind to him, and he even got Community Noted

A few hours ago, we officially entered the "yeah, I messed up" phase. It’s also worth noting that the flags on people’s badges were meant to indicate the languages they speak, not the countries they support.

I'm honestly not sure what lesson can be learned from all of this. It's amazing to me that this guy was respected in the military long enough to have an official retirement photo, only to be warned multiple times for violating event rules, double down and keep breaking them, get himself justifiably banned, and then lie about why he was banned.
I guess the biggest takeaway (other than the obvious "don't wear fetish gear in public") is that prestige doesn't matter. If you act like this and get banned for it, you're still a fucking retard.
