Today, Anime Expo, the “largest celebration of Japanese pop culture in North America” announced an update to its covid health and safety protocols that disappointed many voice actors, cosplayers, and artists alike.

Zeno Robinson, known for his voice acting for Hawks in the anime My Hero Academia, tweeted out a reply asking Anime Expo to reconsider its policy, adding that one of his peers contracted covid from the last few conventions they attended.

“With a con as big as yours (arguably the biggest in the nation) people WILL get it if they attend, especially if you aren’t strict about the policies,” Robinson tweeted. “Please reconsider.”

“Insanely disturbing and horrifying news,” tweeted cosplayer VampyBitme. “The blood at the hands of greed. Upsetting is an understatement.”

Xiao Tong, creator of the webcomic Countdown to Countdown, expressed frustration at the convention corralling artists “in a hot basement to the point of passing out” in previous conventions and stressed her frustration with artists now having to now deal with “potentially unvaccinated people” this year as well.
 
I hate how over-politicized this is getting. If people are this nuts about it it's not worth anyone's money going.
 
There's a bunch of people who don't bathe at these cons too. I went to one a month ago, and there was a clear distinction in smell between the people who smelled because it was 95F outside (along with high humidity) vs the neckbeards who haven't bathed in who knows how long.

Sometimes I question what's worse, contracting COVID, or smelling basement dwellers.

I hope people with Covid symptoms like a fever, and coughing, and Covid positive test don't attend Anime Expo, so they can't infect people at the event with Covid.

Hopefully, Anime Expo does not become a Covid super spreader which causes a lot of people to get Covid.
