@bejoty Honestly, I'm less worried about what happens to the group after the inevitable happens and we're finally shown to a large audience through some sort of media and given a bad light. It's happened already multiple times and even though there's some who are angered, we tend to keep it moderately civil. I'm worried about the panic afterwards from people shunning out the "weird" ones so that we can maintain whatever stupid impossible standard for "normal" is to everyone else.

@bejoty I can agree with that. It's always either show normal people to make them feel better, or show them "weird" people and make them feel better. I dun geddit. Honestly, if they don't want to look deeper than what the news says, then that's their deal not mine. They're the one's who don't get ponies.

@bejoty Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's not easy to balance the fine line of "One sour apple ruins the whole bunch" and "If they're not willing to judge for themselves then they don't matter" I was just kind of curious what all your thoughts were on that and whether it was intended to come out as "normal people please move to the front" as it did.

@bejoty @cabal @purpletinker Don't get me wrong, your article had good points and things we should be watching for, but I do kind of think the article could have touched on the subject a little more cautiously. While it did a good job warning of the dangers of being interviewed unprepared, it came off to me as "We must be normal, everyone who's 'different' stay away." which seems like a bad message when that would practically be the same thing they're doing, but looking for normal people instead of "strange" ones. Was this intentional or did it just end up like that? Just consider this a curious question.
