This panel will be an opportunity for fun, RESPECTFUL dialogue between anime fans on various topics. Using a similar (yet simpler) format to that of Steven Crowder, this panel will begin with a point that I believe that many of us disagree with. This is to exchange ideas and voice opinions that we may not normally feel comfortable sharing.
I would like to encourage people to present their own opinions to discuss, as well. Perhaps you have something that I or others in attendance hadn't thought of before. Just in case, I plan on coming with a large selection of talking points, but the one in the title WILL be the one I open with. (This is of course assuming that the panel gets approved).
I want to have each topic be focused on for no more than ten minutes, but would be willing to go longer if the crowd really wants us to continue. That said, I would prefer just one presenter per topic, though if they are done quickly enough, we may have a second person chime in, too. With that in mind, if one of you presents a topic and someone else wants to present a counter argument, I will gladly allow that person to speak, as well (especially if I happen to agree with the person bringing up said topic).
If you do choose to actively get involved, I ask that the topics be anime-specific only. No real-world politics. No sports. No food preferences. I may be okay with other geeky-oriented fields, like video games or sci-fi shows, but I make no promises.
The key to all of this: It's supposed to be FUN. Let's try to keep it that way, shall we?
