I suppose it does, yes. And I wasn't thinking that we should make anything really public, just yet. To be honest with you, I was already talking to Jim Kirk about this and he gave me some thoughts that helped me understand why it can't be public to start with. I know a lot of people could get hurt.
But also there's a difference between being completely public and only talking to your friends, right? The things I was thinking of starting with were things like talking to other people who are already part of the supernatural community, and helping them understand that they deserve to have rights and be protected. Like we were thinking of starting a magazine and also support groups. It'd be for supernaturals and Wanderers only, but it would give people a sense that their identity is something they should be fighting for, while also not putting them at risk.
And as for things with fangs and fur and scales falling through and attacking people... that's true. But also, some of our worst murderers look like any ordinary person on the street. Like the man in the CLF video. Any given human-looking person is as likely to be as dangerous as any monster, because there are people in both classes who are harmless and also people in both who are very harmful, so that's another fear that isn't rational. And we should try making people think about that, maybe?
It's good to know the history of things. And I agree that we definitely need a united front. Also, I do try to be careful about telling people I'm a Wanderer. [...For completely different reasons, the narration would like to add.] Usually, I only tell people who I know are supernaturals or Wanderers already.
So do you think that that's a good idea? Starting by trying to do things within the supernatural community itself to make people more aware that we should be doing something about this?
