I really do appreciate the love and support from Banzai fans--I really do. As imperfect as we are, it's nice to know that we have been providing smiles to people around the world--literally. However, what concerns me are comments such as, "Oz is my favorite!" or "Oz is the best! Oh, everyone else is awesome, too."
To be honest, those comments make me a little uncomfortable because Banzai is not just about me. It's never been just about me (I'm disregarding the days where I started it off by myself because those don't really matter). Also, I would be nowhere near where I am today if it wasn't for ~SuperWeaselPrincess's sewing technique, ~ChEsHiRe-K's innovative ideas, or *ValdaValsha's keen eye for detail and accuracy. Honestly. I say that with utmost sincerity. Those three are just as wonderful cosplayers, if not, more than me. To me, when someone plays favorites and openly expresses it about any of us, it's a bit disrespectful to the other members of *BanzaiProductions. We're all on equal ground in this cosplay group because we're friends first before being cosplayers. No one person is above the other. We have our independence, yes, but if we're going to rise, then we rise together because we are a group.
I know I can't control the actions of our fans, but I just wanted to personally address this. I hope we, as *BanzaiProductions, continue bringing smiles to you in the years to come.
(P.S. Happy Easter, everyone!)
The difference can be small, very small, as in you perhaps cosplay'd a persons favorite game/movie/show/anime character closer than most can and deleted their comment.
Don't get me wrong, the others portrayed their characters just as well. I've never, ever forgotten how well SWP, Valda and Cheshire cosplayed their Vocaloids.
I once said, "Oz is my favorite", because she portrayed Len SO well and got my comment deleted. Her costume was awesome, her looks were very similar and in my mind, in a non-offensive way, she looked just as boyish like Len.
But that never, ever meant that I loved Oz above anyone else in Banzai!Pro. And it hurt my feelings to be called out on that.
So yeah, maybe I hurt your feelings, but you also hurt mine. Almost to the point that I didn't want to be your fan anymore. Same thinking; if I did, it wouldn't be fair to the others.
But basically, what I'm trying to say is that I love all of you; Valda, Oz, Cheshire, and Superweaselprincess. You all are so amazing, and I want all of you to feel supported. My entire team loves all of you, and we all recognize that you all are so unique and special!
With all of my love,
~Valshi
