ACAB includes specifically the fascist piece of shit who told some Zoro cosplayer to throw their swords away.

lazsaro.bsky.social•69 days ago

No, that wannacop is not a bastard for doing that they are a hero

Too bad that studies have shown that sword recycling is basically a myth.

stuckatthisbit.bsky.social•69 days ago

Warehouses full of swords

typicaliconoclast.bsky.social•69 days ago

At least they recycled

velourshirt.bsky.social•69 days ago

It is balanced by having to take snow globes away from kids

poofbirb.bsky.social•69 days ago

a tsa agent tried to fight me once

coffeecat.tgirl.gay•69 days ago

wow rly?

poofbirb.bsky.social•69 days ago

yea he was like @_@ the whole time it was annoying

coffeecat.tgirl.gay•69 days ago

lmao tf, why??? 😭

poofbirb.bsky.social•69 days ago

probably because i called him a pussy but honestly who knows

coffeecat.tgirl.gay•69 days ago

only a legit pussy would get mad at that, but ig it does take a particular type of person to put on a uniform ╮⁠(ᵘωᵘ)⁠╭

geno.avoids.work•69 days ago

What must it be like to be the "I didn't know I couldn't carry on a large bladed weapon" guy.

fflobster.bsky.social•69 days ago

3 of them.

cpoche.bsky.social•69 days ago

Or one guy with three large blades

Not sure which is funnier tbh

darkfry.bsky.social•69 days ago

It is one

Oh fuck me!

catturd2.bsky.social•69 days ago

Krang do you think that was 3 people each possessing one katana or one person possessing 3 katanas

egregiousknives.bsky.social•69 days ago

Those swords are for a Roronoa Zoro cosplay.

dumbjosh.bsky.social•69 days ago

you cant wield 3 katanas at a time anyway so it really seems like a waste. if you lose 2 katanas, you think a third is really gonna help you anyway?

dumbjosh.bsky.social•69 days ago

bunch of people coming in here proving my point (only in anime)

thisscientitian.bsky.social•69 days ago

It's real to me, dammit!

redophiuchus.bsky.social•69 days ago

To be fair, even in One a piece characters down on him for carrying 3 swords a few times until he shoves the third into his mouth and pulls stuff off with it.

It's pretty much as absurd to people in universe as out.

donferrari.bsky.social•69 days ago

Bullshit!

jedgarnaut.bsky.social•69 days ago

Maybe you can't, I'm just built different

royalfiddle.bsky.social•69 days ago

Bros gonna get hit with the Hachi 6 sword style

poetinbabylon.bsky.social•69 days ago

Roronoa Zoro disagrees!

poetinbabylon.bsky.social•69 days ago

actually, looks like the cosplayer was playing as Zoro, based on the sword design…!

geumgeun.bsky.social•69 days ago

Could’ve been a Zoro One Piece cosplayer

topmarx.bsky.social•69 days ago

My condolences for your mentions. You're gonna read so much about exactly one One Piece trivia.

vasil277.bsky.social•69 days ago

Poor Zoro lost his swords again

krang.bsky.social•69 days ago

it seemed like it was threw separate guys but it was actually just billy connolly with three swords all to himself

catturd2.bsky.social•69 days ago

they were clearly the boondock saints dumbass

foresteagle45.bsky.social•67 days ago

why are you so cruel

batman.jaydestro.org•69 days ago

Tough but fair

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•69 days ago

Plot twist: these didn’t belong to a cosplayer, they belonged to a 2000’s era Reddit atheist.

chaotichimbo.bsky.social•69 days ago

Felt weirdly compelled to edit it

jtothe.bsky.social•69 days ago

Camo pants tucked into knee high black boots like he was trying to prevent rats from crawling up his pants while wearing a vest, fedora and a trenchcoat. I ain't even touching the mall katana.

I want to say Goon but I don't see an anime wall scroll or curio case of loli ecchi statues. Yep Redditor.

peopledied2vote.bsky.social•69 days ago

Clearing out grandparents.

riskybootsxd.bsky.social•69 days ago

Only if you find enjoyment in being a complete cunt for no reason.
But then again, why else would one become TSA personnel?

bewilderedowl.bsky.social•69 days ago

second only to stealing shit from people's luggage whilst also ignoring the fake bombs you were supposed to find.

thecharmoffensive.bsky.social•69 days ago

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just toss it in there, Sasuke.”

octocryptid.bsky.social•69 days ago

He'll yeah now I got a sweet ass sword you nerd, you absolute dweeb

blueshell3d.com•69 days ago

It’s not cosplay, it’s my lifestyle

ebridget.bsky.social•69 days ago

airport jungle jice bin got spiked

erksynerksy.bsky.social•69 days ago

At least they're recycling them.

sarahkorse.bsky.social•69 days ago

I prefer to believe that those are actual katanas and someone was going on a revenge rampage.

lanzknecht.bsky.social•69 days ago

An airport employee in Houston did this with my Ninja Turtles toy Leonardo katana when i was 5 years old in 1990. It was the best day of his life, seeing me cry.

mx0x20wednesday.bsky.social•69 days ago

smh, this is just malicious for no reason, everybody was had their personal carry-on sword back then

dsherrick.bsky.social•69 days ago

Getting to take those swords home at the end of your shift has gotta be even better!

majestic12.bsky.social•69 days ago

This is why my lightsabers get packed in a golf bag and put into checked luggage.

ceilingcat.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s on the TSA website, but cosplayers just assume the TSA makes exemptions for Comic-cons.

froah.bsky.social•69 days ago

Looks like it was a Zoro cosplayer https://bsky.app/profile/feraldisaster.bsky.social/post/3lexu7mzuh226

jrbuckley.bsky.social•69 days ago

I was quite a collection of mini Swiss army knives from my time working airport security in 2004-5.

while you were checking tickets I Studied The Blade

jdemartino.bsky.social•69 days ago

I do historical fencing and some of my clubmates are going overseas for a tournament and the amount of prep/storage considerations for checking blunt tournament swords is significant. Dudes just showing up with carry-on katanas like it's Kill Bill is hilarious

starlarbu.bsky.social•69 days ago

all the more satisfying to humiliate katana nerds knowing that a true adherent to bushido would never so readily part with their blade

rawbbie.bsky.social•69 days ago

Would rather perform seppuku at security than get on that flight.

samstensgaard.bsky.social•69 days ago

Getting to ruin everyone's day seems like the only thing the TSA is useful for

radianthostility.bsky.social•69 days ago

Theyre the most miserable fucking excuses for human shit on this planet. They make everyone's life worse for no reason at all in the most banally bureaucratic way possible. Just ending life one minute at a time for nothing.
