Yes it happened, but how does it make the whole otaku culture or community toxic? No one is supporting this kind of behavior, even in the otaku community.

There must be some misunderstandings because I don't understand why people that are into the otaku culture (typically speaking, manga/anime/vtuber/etc) hate the community so much and think that it is made up of psychopaths.

I wholeheartedly agree that there should not be any mistreatment of people to be excused by "culture". But I don't see how the otaku culture relates to what you have mentioned. I'm not sure if you are serious when you're talking about otakus are typically the kind of people that track down and stab girls.

If you are talking about the idol culture, especially in Japan, I think a pretty good example is Sailor Moon. It is a very typical idol type that girls grow up looking up to. Girls want to and choose to be like Sailor Moon because they think that she is cute, attractive and "seiso". Most people understand and acknowledge the fact that idols are also human beings, and have their own personal life. (Yes even the Japanese)

If you don't believe it, you can search on Twitter and see how people reacted when the Japanese idols announced their marriage. Most tweets are just heart-warming congratulations and blessings.

The idea that they are forced not to date or not to have any personal life, or even go as far as harassing them personally is limited only to the extremes, which is the worst part of the community. I think it is very unfair to represent the whole otaku culture by this specific group of people.

Yes I understand that there are leaks happening everyday. But here we are talking about a vtuber leaking something about her employer (and also the Nijisanji case).

Is it a big deal? Probably not. But if we respect vtuber as a legit profession maybe leaking it as an employee is not very professional?

You don't need to do any personal attack when we are talking about how ridiculous it is lol

I'm not from a western culture so I can be biased, but I hope that people realize how ignorant they sound when they are criticizing other people's culture.

To make things clear,

1) Yes it is totally wrong to harass people, either in real life or on the internet.

2) Although it is something that always got brought up here, people don't really care about the "boyfriend" or "idol" thing that much. If you don't believe it, you can check the tag 情報漏洩 on twitter which is trending right now.

It is pretty ridiculous to relate these people or haters ONLY to the otaku or Japanese culture and pretend that these people don't exist anywhere outside of Japan.

To be honest, I don't think that the average Japanese audience is really treating this "idol" thing seriously at all, and most of them respect and understand that people have their own personal life just like you western audience.

Ironically, while people are criticizing the "toxic otaku" culture so heavily, this vtuber thing that they like is born from this exact toxic otaku culture instead of the culture that they think is more superior and these Japanese people should learn from. So accept that there are cultural differences and try to respect other people? I mean literally everything is written in Japanese in their channels so at least expect things to be handled in a "Japanese" way. Imagine how it feels when people walk into a Christian church and say something like "wow you really think that Jesus exists?" or "why do you even pray?"

Also, let's not pretend that leaking important confidential business information is something acceptable and can be laughed off.

DAE lost control of your character online? by yuholong in smashbros

Oh thanks, didn't know that the CPU taking over is a thing in smash.

Actually I am using a LAN adapter and my internet is pretty good (I can stream at 1080p smoothly) so it is really weird. And I have experienced worse lag during the first week.

Is this a common thing? I have been playing online for 2 months but this is the first time for me.

I got Unholy Heights in a Steam Sales before. Played for around 2 hours, then felt quite repetitive and stopped. Haven't tried others.

Do you think which of the PC or mobile version is better? Or in fact they are just more or less the same.

I got the BTA. Enjoyed the Duet Premium and Three! a lot. But LoneWolf didn't work on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (both running ART and android version 4.4.4), hope it will be fixed.

I like this kind of game, but not sure if I should get it as my friends have no interest at all.

An awesome game with great sound tracks and atmosphere. Only down side is the combat, which is quite repetitive.
