I don't want to live in a bubble. Everyone is already writing and reporting the same exact thing, and if I owned a new publication, maybe I would instruct my writers to find a new perspective.
"Report and write from a stay-at-home mom going to fanfest perspective"
"Report and write from a priest going to fanfest perspective"
Anyway, FF fans and even potential fans and readers come from all walks of life.
It's great to hear what the haters think. It's great to hear what the schemers and people who seek our downfall think. So that we will not be surprised in the future. Now we know right? Just let them write out their mind.
(Some crazy examples: perhaps there's a country out there where ERP or cosplay is starting to mobilize public support to be banned in that country because it's sacrilegous. Now we know and wouldn't Yoshi want to know too that there are things like that that exist in this world
Example 2: Maybe ERP has been teetering too close to child protection laws? Who knows, anyway, questions like these keeps Yoshi on his toes. Maybe they should build new tools that can help address potential problems before it became too big? Don't want to get caught in a vicious and downward cycle like Facebook has been going through where they innovated - Live suicide video, live murder videos, fake news, etc, something without the proper tools to address exploiters).
Let them in. Let them attack. It actually helps the community to become stronger than that.
