A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

During the Q & A, a Korean-American woman announced her ethnicity, then asked the poor guy to state his opinion on the dispute between Japan and Korea regarding the ownership of a island: "Which country do you think righfully owns it?" Which was like asking him "Have you stopped beating your wife, yes or no?" If he says Japan, he's insulted the questioner. If he says Korea, he's insulted his home country. If he says he has no opinion or doesn't want to answer, he looks like a tool. But before the question could be translated (the translator had paused in horror, obviously thinking the same thing I was), the moderator, American voice actor Crispin Freeman, said, "This is an anime convention, not a political convention, and I'd appreciate it if the questions stuck to the topic at hand, which is voice acting and anime. Next!" It was the most appropriate exercise of censorship ever.

Poor voice actor -- and you know, sometimes idiots just deserve to be suppressed (stuffed like guinea pigs into bags).
