Funny thing: in October of 2024, Mujin actually did another video on a Japanese cheating scandal that hit almost the exact same storybeats.
>Popular streamer ("Unko-chan"/Kato Junichi) hooks up with female e-celeb (popular JAV actress "Ai Hongo")
>10+ year age gap
>Affair is publicly exposed
>Streamer denies any romantic involvement
>Female e-celeb issues a public confession and apology to the public and streamer's wife
>Female e-celeb exposes that, yes, it was an affair
>Female e-celeb claims that she was lied to about his relationship status (she was told that he had a wife but that they were already divorced)
>Female e-celeb states that she is going on hiatus and disappears from socials
>Streamer finally admits to the affair but is met with bizarre approval from his audience (like XQC having an Oogway moment upon hearing of Sykkuno's scandal)
>Streamer continues streaming as if nothing happened
By the end of the video, Mujin does state that "some real lives were ruined" as a result of the sleazing around, and he expresses chagrin and perplexity at the fact that Unko was not only forgiven but actively rewarded for being a scumbag who "lied and manipulated multiple women".
However, notably absent from the video is the heavy-handed framing/implication that Unko is some sort of public threat, "master manipulator" or "predator." He was just presented as a cultural oddity: a Japanese sleazeball who got away with it, however distastefully so. Unko was framed as a man of poor character who was enabled (unknowingly) by an oblivious woman, and enabled (knowingly) by a perplexingly large audience.
Now contrast that video with the Sykkuno one.
The latter is presented akin to being some sort of sexual misconduct SCP.
However, the sidepiece/s in the latter not only exposed themselves for being the ones to initiate contact with the streamer, but haven't taken (voluntarily or otherwise) any sort of personal penalty in deference/apology to the woman who stands apart as the one unquestionable victim in all this (the girlfriend who was cheated on in the first place).
Why is the framing so different, then, if the story is so similar? Why is the sidepiece's alleged victimhood stressed so much more?
Is it your personal closeness to this story? Is it 'the CCV of consent?' Ai Hongo was one of the most popular JAV actresses at the time of the Unko affair (and she was also cheating on a boyfriend of her own), but she too "lied to" and "manipulated" along the exact same lines as Sykkuno's accusers are bringing up now.
People are expressing skepticism of the reporting on the basis of the work itself, not just the person making it. When you respond with ad hominems, that does not speak to belief in the consistency of said reporting.
What kind of retort is "I bet you have a secret mixed-race relationship" to "your narration is unreliable"?
It genuinely seems like you may have been goaded into making a story by people who sold you on the prospect of breaking one.
