Yoko Taro is all for fun and games, and often trolls like no other, but he recently put his foot down to share a public service announcement on Twitter about people complaining about fan art and cosplay.
９Ｓｖｓ大量の２Ｂ（塔で出てきたアレ）っていうコスプレ画像を見て「おお、何度も撮影して複製モノとは良いアイデアだな」と思ったら、普通に大量の２Ｂコスプレイヤーがいてサスガ過ぎると思った。

Yoko Taro: I was looking at an image of 9S vs. a bunch of 2Bs (the one from the tower) and thought “Ohh, that was a good idea to take a bunch of photographs for a replication thing,” but then I was amazed to realize that it was actually just a bunch of 2B cosplayers.
コスプレとかイラストとかＵＲＬ貼ったりＲＴを積極的にしないのは、ちょっとオカシイ人がその人のトコロに行かないようにする為です。
ただし、それらを生業としてる人については貼ります。人目に触れる事が仕事だと思うので。
そういう、運用基準で弊社はやっております。

Yoko Taro: The reason I don’t post URLs or actively RT cosplay and illustrations is because I want to avoid sending weirdos their way.
However, I do post things when it’s part of their occupation. I think getting public exposure is part of the job.
That’s just the standard of operations at our company.
前から思ってたけど、他の人がやってるファンアートとかコスプレとか、そういう事に文句を言う人が多すぎる。
下手なイラストでも、キャラと全然違うコスプレでもいい。少なくとも僕は嬉しい。
大体、その人が好きでやってるんだから、外野がゴチャゴチャ言ってんじゃねぇ、と思う。 https://t.co/VtLyfZOD71

Yoko Taro: I’ve always thought that there are way too many people who complain about fan art and cosplay of others.
Even if the illustration sucks, or even if the cosplay is completely different from the character, at the very least they still make me happy.
These people basically do it because that’s what they like to do, so outsiders should just shut up and stop whining, at least that’s what I think.
