Outsider's view of singapore subculture community[link]
Only in Singapore do people get so uptight over a hobby, complaining to newspapers, gearing up for a witch hunt, and things like that, over a newspaper article aimed at nobody in particular.
My favorite line: "the vehemence and rabidness of your tone in the e-mails sent in just show you for what you are - an empty (psychotic) vessel making too much noise."
So very true. Some years back, in a similar vein, some cosplayers even took it upon themselves to represent 'the entire singapore cosplay community' to demand an apology from a shopping center here after they held a cosplay event, for 'exploiting cosplayers', when what they did was just organize a cosplay competition. They even showed up in person to demand this.
Sheesh.

yes some people may have over reacted, but the whole fiasco has really hurt the real fans' feelings. We have already endured much public scrutinisation without these articles, and things would get worse with the misleading representation of the hobby...
On the smaller scale, think about the people whose parents initially said nothing about their child's doll collection but suddenly become concern, and even negative about it after reading this same article, because they thought the kid is splurging money...
It's hard to remain neutral and brush it off... =/
