Russian military uniforms and Nazi symbols at MondoCon Budapest - no one cared

I'll might not be popular with this comment but here it goes anyway. Most of the military uniform guys do dance on a blades edge ever since the airsoft and military roleplay scene came to mondocon. So much so that in some other conventions these costumes are not even allowed ( e.g.: last Fantasy expo where you couldn't attend wearing a recognisable historic or current uniform). However as MondoCon is the largest such event in Hungary, they did have to draw a line and find the golden middle road. No symbols of oppression is allowed, no historical uniforms that could be deemed problematic, no patches and no signs / flags that could also fall under the same rule. The flag as many people is a pirate flag and as that does not go against any rule. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag\_of\_Blackbeard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Blackbeard) The airsoft guys at MondoCon usually play as well in mimicked fights and war games and as that they do tend to wear uniforms in that fashion. As you can see on the flag photos many of them wear USA patches and garbs and as I saw in the green fields and back parts of the event, there was a USA vs Russia mock fight, some people even took videos. There was also a capture the flag that I heard about that should happen today, but given the weather maybe nothing will come of it. For the symbols you mentioned: The russian flag is not a symbol of oppression yet and in my 2 day out here I saw no z symbols or anything the like. I however saw 2-3 swastikas - but not THAT kind. The original. There was even a shop in building B that sold a black dress kind of thing with a lot of kanjis and an non - angled swastika on its back. These are tricky, but I know for a fact that people that had a dotted non-angled original swastika on their clothes had to hide it ( I heard only of 2 cases at Saturday) and the shop that sold that robe I guess hid it today, because last I checked it was not on display anymore, but rather folded on the table without the symbol showing. Still, if you saw something breaking general rules please inform the staff of Mondocon, you can find them near the Arena and in the 2nd building where the food courts are mostly, but they are also near the rear gates of building B. Tell them, and show them pictures if you can if you think someone is breaking such a rule. Also please try to refrain from drawing conclusions for a population of a whole country from a handful of people in a dress-up convention. There are also many furries out here, but that does not mean that hungarian people as a whole are all having fursonas.
