Yeah, got to be honest, if this is a serious issue then its difficult to take TTV seriously around April Fools - which is a problem with the channel and the boards.
Multiple times there is the ‘joke’ of TTV firing Eljay or Eljay taking over the boards and sometimes that starts weeks prior to the actual April Fools itself. Its gotten to the stage where any serious issues that may be facing TTV will be discarded.
Not to mention the whole parodying BvS/Civil War…Especially when prior conversations between TTV members were done off the boards or in PM’s because it made them seem unprofessional in the eyes of some of the members. As such I’m viewing this as an April Fools.
Either this is a legitimate issue being handled like a school fight, or its an April Fools.
You need to edit the mask, honestly that would solve your problems here. The Miru is specifically designed with a massive hole on either side of the mouth - honestly this would probably help recordings as if you put a pop filter on the interior piece directly in front of the mouth, it would enable you to speak loudly without issues of the voice being muffled.
In public, well, honestly chances are high you should reveal who you are. Walking around in a Miru mask draws more attention to you anyway. Places like conventions you’d probably be better going around without the Miru and just kind of not associate yourself with TTV as much so your not in the spotlight. The whole ‘meeting fans’ situation is also worrying (see below) for fairly obvious reasons.
This question is worrying and one of the main reasons that Eljay should reveal his face. There is currently nothing stopping someone from pretending to be Eljay and meeting a fan wearing the Miru and they would never need to reveal their face throughout. Its one of the most worrying aspects of the idea of wearing a mask and as far as i am aware, nothing is really in place to stop this from becoming a reality.
Its not only dangerous, but its a very scary thought to consider - and its something caused by the group, not just Eljay. Whether this is an April fools or not, the problem has never been addressed.
