The second one.

Yelling FIRE! in a theater might alarm a few people, and possibly start a little panic, but most will probably think a little or check for some verification that there is something actually wrong. And if the person was lying, they'd get in big trouble, probably arrested.

Announcing "HOT YAOI ACTION!" will result in an instantaneous stampede that crushes anyone and anything in its path. The person who yelled it will either escape immediately after yelling(if they're smart) or get lynched when the rabid fangirls find no yaoi action. Personally, I'd take an arrest over being anywhere close to a mob of pissed off fangirls.

Either you're the strong, silent type...

...or one of those cynical, apathetic jackholes that seem to run rampant through the fandom.

Either way, whatever floats your boat. 8)

Especially at Anime Express!! :shock:
But it turns out confires at 3 in the morning can be fun after all! It was hilarious watching the halls clear of half-dead, half-drunk otaku while those whom sleep heavier got trampled in the madness.
I guess we all leaned a valuable lesson, never play Add's "Crying Angel" twice in the same day.
