What are you guys future plans to handle the "drama" section? Seeing your response here:
ShounicI wanted to revisit Backcap's stance on drama so I decided to hold off on going through the drama. While it is super entertaining I feel like it's irresponsible to spread information like that. The drama segment was part of the show when it was a smaller project but now that we're growing and wanting to legitimize ourselves, I want to give more thought to the potential damages we could do by just featuring things on the show. Think about how bad it is if I incited witch hunts and got people up in arms about small issues etc.
What are your plans on this? Are you gonna just skip the drama entirely from this point on? Are you gonna make a new smaller sideseries focused on the drama?

I don't agree with the sideseries plan too much. I don't think this is called a slippery slope but it kinda presents a problem akin to that. If I split off drama from the standard news show, then maybe I should split highlights as well? I want to avoid the situation where I'm producing like 3-4 videos a week with minimal content. The idea of Backcap at the moment is about having a neat package to consume all at once for everything you need in a week, so it would betray this concept.
I have intentionally skipped the more community related pieces of news like Saloon's issues (though we tweeted about it) and Mang0 playing TF2. If you look at it from my perspective, what I decide to mention about Saloon will make an impact whether I like it or not. My thought process was that if Saloon was going to fix their stuff up or say something about it soon, then I rather give them the opportunity to mend their mistakes before calling them out for it. Geel did end up saying something about it so I think retrospectively it was probably the right decision to not say anything about Saloon.
Another issue with talking about Saloon is that I don't want to become TF2's police. If I allow (without careful thought) the show to call out people or groups who makes mistakes then Backcap also becomes a platform for people to air their dirty laundry. It's not my responsibility to handle, settle or deal with other community member's issues. What happens when people start tweeting me to pressure Saloon into fixing xyz bug?
And Mang0, I think this one is quite negligible. The main thing with this one was that I thought it'd be hard to capture this on the show, would I show clips from his stream? Do I try interview him on it? Why does it matter this guy is playing TF2, and how am I going to decide who is "worthy" enough to be mentioned just for launching TF2?
But there is a plan. I'm going to avoid trigger words and just sensationalization in general so in the show it'll be called "Fluff of The Week" & we'll approach it lightheartedly. The main motivation for keeping the drama segment alive is that I think it's also bad that we don't let ourselves speak out on issues that affect the general community so this is the line I'll try to balance on.
