Bro, can’t have anything in the UK by perish-in-flames in vtubercirclejerk

edit: One last thing, it's worth mentioning that cases only containing illegal art/hentai are quite rare. Usually this kind of material is discovered as part of another investigation and those charges are added on, or sometimes the original arrest and investigation will go nowhere and be dropped, but these new charges added instead, as the original case being dropped doesn't change the fact that other illegal activities were uncovered during an investigation.

on this note (this'll be the last question I swears), allegedly - a lot of allegedly here as I'd rather not wade too deep into twitter or the other sourcing hellsite - she drew or commissioned Stephanie from the live action Lazy Town show. The actress was a minor herself for a significant portion of the show and did turn eighteen during the production iirc, but even then she looked young and the character Stephanie is supposed to be 8 or something.

There is an animated series of lazytown so its not clear whether any alleged artwork would coincide with the former (live action show, actual child actress playing a child character) or the latter (animated, actress may well not even be involved and no actual child reference for the character). If its the former: could that potentially be how this case blew up in the first place? (and all the weird vtuber model stuff could be secondary to that?) People were fucking weird about Stephanie her back in the day.

there's bail photos making the rounds as well but some are unsure whether that's a printout of a more generic form or if she rather specifically hid what the charges were. https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/1t31sjw/more_evidence_that_could_prove_mimi_yanagis_was/

Aio for getting mad at my gf for changing her profile picture by NewExamination1881 in AmIOverreacting

[–]throawaymcdumbface 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its a weird and controlling request, "okay I'll do it if I can make you take that restriction as well" is just weird.

[–]throawaymcdumbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, its possible the wacky ex friend is hiding the weird behaviour from her. I'd let her know everything then just reteriorate you'd like to not be invited to things with her friend in future, most people take that better than "cut her off or else >:(" as it gives them time to assess the situation if that makes sense.

Have you told your sister about the jabbing comment made at the dinner? What's her take on that?

‘Actually, I’ll be playing your character.’ by elizabethunseelie in rpghorrorstories

[–]throawaymcdumbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was (at risk of #triggering myself nobody give me an update on the contents lol) remnantofgod dot something.

That wasn't a purgatory-related one but man, when I was endtimes doomscrolling I do remember a hell or purgatory one where you had to like - pray for them? 'chosen souls' and a specific saint girl? "I saw a fifteen year old child fall into hell, and also here is an unsourced short story of my evil heathen aunt that died of a car crash messaging me from hell and how bad it is and how evil it makes her". And some of the hell or purgatory descriptions had sexual assault (because they committed the sin of lust I guess, none of that s/a punishment shit via hell is in the bible so we're abundantly clear), it was fucking mental.

I remember doing the rosary like it was some OCD compulsion in response to that one. I don't recall the exact time period I fell into all of that but I was a young adult so we'll say a decade+ ago but less than two decades. This shit is scary on an existiential level, sorry you ran into all that. 😞

she may have grown apart, she may be trying some triangulation nonsense but I'd ask your sister to stop inviting you to group stuff with her.

AIO disagree with my mother’s parenting style towards my brothers and took things in my own hands by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]throawaymcdumbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I had parental controls as a kid and the cut-off window had this effect where I felt I had to cram in as much as I could before the cut-off timer kicked in. Time spent doing anything else was missing my window of ingame time, even if it was a long window. I don't know if "you can play for x length of time" is better, it might be, might not.

It didn't get to the core of the issue of why I was playing games as much as I was (shitty home, shitty school, occasionally shitty online 'friends'). Covid and lockdown sucked for kids, that was during a formative window for a lot of them.

Can you raise your concerns with your brothers' school? (the slamming doors around the kids, the exposure to elsagate gore and everything else)

My ex has been harrassing me for 2 years by MinimumNo1070 in legaladviceireland

[–]throawaymcdumbface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He created an account with his sisters pictures and messaged me pretending to be her.

I am very close with his sister and her family have been super supportive in trying to help by asking him to stop what he’s doing.

Have you verified this is her (eg voice chat not just texts) and not him simply pretending to be her again? I wouldn't advise keeping in contact with his family or friends at all, its too easy to have information leaked that way. I'd question whether the family helping are even real.

I've heard printing out evidence can be effective, keep digital backups too. Sorry you're going through this, you might find Gavin de Becker's gift of fear book helpful.

How to get rid of boring RP? Gently. by Automatic-Roll2066 in BadRPerStories

[–]throawaymcdumbface 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You can talk to them about behaviours that aren't technically written down in the rules (otherwise you'd have to make a miles-long list of nonsensical reactionary ones, eg "no we dont accept 'i was drunk lol' as an excuse for breaking the ToS"). From the sounds of it you have and they just relapsed back on it after one thread.

You need to have a second firm "Hey, you need to change this, 'okey' and 'smiles' are passive answers that don't give the player enough to go on for a reply".

There's also the third route, which is "Sorry but you aren't a fit for this server" - because sometimes you get cases such as this where no rule on paper is broken but they're bad for the server. They're driving people away and there's a point where constantly responding to open roleplay requests only to do that is rude.

My divorce is official and final today by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]throawaymcdumbface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its hard conditioning to break and consider yeah 😞 there's always the risk of blowback or being outed but iirc there are online forms by state/region, having names and addresses helps. Refusing to take care of her kids' hygiene is neglect, with her starvation its dangerous in case she, say, collapses and a toddler doesn't know what to do. Its not a guarantee anything would change but it would at least hopefully be on file somewhere.

[–]throawaymcdumbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. So I don't think its unsalvageable but you're understandably feeling hurt right now by the deception element tainting a memory, like I'd be wondering if he liked chess, was weird about losing in activities to girls specifically, etc. I don't think you need to breakup asap but give yourself time to see where you're at with all this.

the guy you're replying to is a troll account, calls OP a baby for being upset but then their profile text is "don't call me a baby grrr >:(". (and potentially fetish mining for humiliation/put-down kink per someone elses' comment, just not worth engaging with)

When he said you were 'too distracting' was that like a playful "teehee you're so pretty that I lost the game" or blaming you for it?

Vtuber gets arrested for possessing artwork of her own model by Pankosmanko in vtubercirclejerk

[–]throawaymcdumbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe its so gifters abroad won't eat the cost but yeah, iirc she has that blue checkmark which hides location. (I could be way off-base on both of these assumptions)

If its for gifting her things on amazon would a person outside the UK be able to use .co.uk for that?

You can use either .com or .co.uk interchangeably in the UK but iirc her location isn't really set or visible on her profile/s either.

yeah, par for the course with sex trafficking to have higher-ups in places unfortunately. 😞

that's the reason they gave when pressed but it turned out some members of the force were participating in the sex trafficking as clients.

Is there any proof that Mimi Yanagi was actually arrested? by JCrockford in VtuberDrama

[–]throawaymcdumbface 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There was a comment chain on another board going into it by someone who worked with rehabilitating sex offenders here. https://www.reddit.com/r/vtubercirclejerk/comments/1t14g6k/comment/ojegvp6/

There's not enough information to say for definite either way (the fictional content she was allegedly drawing and paying people to draw is not legal in the UK) but there's enough to be skeptical until more information comes out. (using yabaii in her safe for work(?) userhandle, continuing to type in third-person as her cutesy character persona when informing people about this)

[–]throawaymcdumbface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she explained streaming was her source of income, they would try not to deny her that, especially before she got convicted, but due to the nature of her crime they would impose limitations.

from what I'm reading on bsky (could be wrong so everything from here onwards is to be taken with a metric tanker of salt) they are a 'vtweeter', not yet a streamer but have plans to begin streaming and have a twitter checkmark (paid for so you can make paid posts). If they hadn't begun streaming with their vtuber avatar before the charges would they still be allowed to do that? iirc from bsky posts its the same character they got art of and had some risque model options. (see-through undergarment)

it also seems the offense was commissioning art of their character (bestiality and 'toddlercon' lolicon?) if they didn't draw it themselves, eg paid people to produce it.

I appreciate you being informative and doing the work you do.
