When a person doesn’t exist in Shopping, they aren’t selling merch. When they don’t exist in News, they haven’t done anything newsworthy. When they don’t exist in Videos, they aren’t a creator.
But when they barely exist in Forums and Blogs? That suggests they were a participant, not a performer.
If you know a Rei Kitajima—a photographer, a programmer, a poet, a player of obscure rhythm games from 2006—send them this post. Tell them someone is looking.
But I haven’t given up.
