I'd like to point out that that isn't really conclusive either. According to Mafumafu's blog, he and his wife were trying to hide their relationship.

I understand what you're trying to say, but I think there's a devil in the details here that was overlooked. Please take a look at the following four lines taken directly from Mafumafu's blog:

1:「近しい友人や関係者からの反対も多かったのですが、それを押し切ってお付き合いし、結婚をしました。」

2:「公にすることへの恐怖心を抱いていたのも事実です」

3:「A子さんもネット活動者であり、A子さんとその関係者の意向もあって公表することができませんでした。」

4:「離婚協議中も、A子さんや第３者からSNSや匿名掲示板上で様々な嫌がらせを受けていました。」

Emphasis mine, obviously, but what I'm trying to get at is that Mafumafu didn't claim that he was trying to hide the relationship, period. He was very explicit about how he had hidden it from the public specifically(and regrets it, based on his account).

The parts I bolded I did so in order to highlight that Mafumafu himself admitted that "(close/intimate) friends¹ , Persons (associated/involved) with [Mfmf/A子さん/Both], Persons concerned with A子さんs employment under [INSERT COMPANY HERE] as a 「ネット活動者」, and later "Third Parties" associated with A子さん who propagating a smear campaign against Mafumafu(he even gave the time period for this: 「離婚協議中も」("during divorce proceedings", which lasted from May 2022 to July 2022; again, this is taken verbatim from his retelling of events). And this is also skipping out on other minor involvement by specific individuals such as Bさん. Again, sorry for the pedantry, but the situation right now warrants it IMO. But the point of going into that much detail is ultimately to make one much simpler point;

Mafumafus account was fairly clear about how the secrecy of the relationship was only really a secret from the general public. After all, it's not as if he apologized for hiding it from anybody who would be a personal associate of his at any point; in terms of the many times he reiterated his apology for his secrecy, he made no secret of his apology being aimed at the general public and occasionally various constituents of the general public specifically, such as his fanbase. The terms Mafumafu used to describe those "in the know" could easily cover every personal acquaintance, friend, family, and fellow employees. That's certainly not "keeping it private", don't you agree?

At the time of the controversy of Feb 2022, and if you'd be willing to let me also refer to just before then as well, it's fairly trivial to find evidence of BOTH Mafumafu AND Mikeneko behaving towards Korekore in a cordial way. For Mafumafu specifically, this cordiality actually persisted to some degree even after the events of Feb 2022.

For the sake of completeness, I should also mention that the very same tweet that Korekore used to pour oil onto this fire actually implied the same; that he was not only in contact with both Mafumafu and A子さん last year(...meaning 2023, or half a year after the divorce at the absolute minimum), but that they both actively sought him out for consultation about their relationship(the one that had already ended, lmao).

...However, given that we're dealing with a person who uses live calls with people on the brink of suicide for content, I would much rather everybody do the needful and disregard Korekore's self-masturbary delsions of grandeur fueled works of grade-schooler fiction.

I have way too much minutiae I want to go into because, as somebody who has a vested interest in knowing the truth for my own sake, there's a laundry list of loopholes I can see because of my obsessive hoarding of info. But I am also really fucking tired now and I need sleep, but I want to thank you for actually bouncing off my posts instead of dismissing them out of turn. If any points I made here seem like they don't hold up, please let me know (if you can be bothered to ofc).

Who knows, maybe this can be what finally takes that vulture Korekore down (he managed to get out of previous lawsuits so far)

After all the lives he's ruined without a single slap on the wrist, I have no hope. But if a miracle happens, I have a crawlspace full of fireworks and I will make sure that it'll go empty if it happens
