[Misc.] Cyberbullying, false information & PAD – YamaP’s view
YamaP brought up some points that many wondered – as a result of the current awareness of cyberbullying/false information in Japan.
Why does PAD only have “Nice” as reaction?
He explains that it prevents bad feelings, or abuse to other players. This is a bit like how early Facebook has only “Like” as reactions.
(Though some comments feel that it’s more because of the technology, lol. Also Facebook has more than “Like” now…)
SNSの誹謗中傷は怖いですよね。人によって感じ方に差はあっても、悪口を言われると嫌な気分になるので、周りに誰か褒めてくれる人が必要だと思います。
僕はFacebook初期の頃に「いいね」が素晴らしい機能だなと思ったので、少し不便でもパズドラの協力プレイには「ナイス」しか入れてません！笑

Raita and YamaP
In regards to bullying/false rumors, YamaP and Raita Kazama (illustrator of Fujin and friends) want to clarify that any rumors about them in bad terms are false. The truth is that Raita is busy and so YamaP adjusted his contract. They’re in good terms, and in fact, YamaP already knew Raita before he joined GungHo (so that’s > 8 years of acquaintance!)
不仲説！笑

Background story for those who don’t follow Japan news
Just a twodays ago, Hana Kimura, a young Japanese professional wrestler who was in a reality show (Terrace House, on Netflix), passed away. While details of her death remains unknown and kept private, her last messages on Instagram suggested suicide, and she was a victim of anonymous bullying while the show went on. The tragedy spread awareness for cyberbullying in Japan, hence YamaP and Raita also share their views on this matter.
