@PopverseSays Wow! There used to be a dealer at the old garage flea market in NYC that had a bunch of internal docs from DC in 40s - pay stubs, etc. Ordinary when produced; fascinating now!

🇯🇵😳 Japanese politician and anti-censorship advocate Zenko Kurishita is already expressing concern over the arrest of Mimi Yanagi in the UK due to her art while calling out the British for its’ misguided policy.
The news on Mimi Yanagi is already spreading to more Japanese like wildfire.
くりした善行 (Zenko)🇯🇵無所属/Anti-Censorship/C107 31日ツ01b@zkurishi
イギリスでVTuber兼イラストレーターのMimiYanagiが、彼女自身が描いたイラストを所持していたという理由で4月20日逮捕されたことを独白し、波紋が広がっています。現在は保釈されたものの、本名名義の新アカウントへの移行、今後は非成人向けの投稿のみに限ること、それらが警察の監視下に置かれるということが保釈条件と課されたとしています。 イギリスでは創作の児童描写等も猥褻だとみなされれば罰することができる法律があり、この独白も信ぴょう性を持って伝わっています。 この恐ろしいほどに恣意的運用が可能な法律で創作を処罰することで、どれほどの現実の児童が救われるのか、疑問でなりません。世界でもこうしたスタンスをとる国は増えようとしていますが、この間違った方針が広がらないよう、また日本に及ばないよう、注意していかなくてはなりません。

@TheTopTierGoon @aztra8_ @CLOUDWYYY @MomoNagaGxG It's a grift, isn't it? Wasn't she supposed to use her real name on the internet?

The creator of Chun-Li himself is expressing support for British VTuber Mimi Yanagi, who was recently arrested by police for drawing NSFW artwork of her own ロリ model. They confiscated all her belongings and are monitoring her like a sex offender.
Thank you, Akiman-sensei.

The First Amendment is the most prescient and important sentence in political history, and every country where it doesn't apply is worse off for that lack
A government can never be allowed to arrest people for speech or art, no matter how distasteful. It's simply too much power

VTUBER ARRESTADA La policía británica arrestó a la popular VTuber e ilustradora Mimi Yanagi por la posesión de SUS PROPIOS dibujos. Mimi reveló que estuvo bajo custodia tras ser arrestada el 20 de abril. Las autoridades confiscaron todos sus dispositivos y ahora está libre bajo fianza con condiciones extremas: no puede publicar contenido adulto y debe usar un nombre aprobado por la policía. Las leyes británicas son sumamente severas respecto a la posesión de cierto tipo de ilustraciones que las autoridades clasifican como material restringido, incluso si son completamente ficticias.

@anicma1 Thanks for your update! I’m continuing to look into the matter.

この件について本日何度かRPさせていただきましたが、正式な官庁／一定以上の規模のメディアの引用がX上で観られないので、真偽不明の事案として「格下げ」します。
失礼いたしました。

We are indeed aware of the arrest in the UK. I've tried reaching out for more info, but the accounts/threads I've tried on Reddit and X have either been blocked or removed. Working contact info is welcome - can DM here or email me directly @ jeff.trexler@cbldf.org

@DavidMFrost2 We’re looking into the reports - thanks to everyone sending information!

@CBLDF Here's my new theory — "MIMI" DOESN'T EXIST!
& she never did. I think this entire noisebomb is a psyop being run by the Government of Japan on spoofed (&/or bent) accounts just to stir up hatred of England, the United States, & the rest of us "Atlantean slime [🖕😏]" in general!

@CBLDF I can't even find any news articles about it,so how true this all is in question.Uk us fudged I know that ,but this story is questionable at the moment.

@CBLDF I'm happy you're on the case because we desperately need solid info on what happened. I don't want to form an opinion before I know the details.

@ThisIstheNam7 @FranklinH3000 Not too bold at all! That’s part of why I said specifically that I’m gathering more information. Confirmation of the report is part of that. It’s what attorneys do, even when they want to help!

@CBLDF @FranklinH3000 If I might be so bold to ask, have you recieved any actual confirmation the arrest occured? From what I read you havent been able to contact mimi?

@jpalmiotti Grandpa Al was one of the joys of my time in law school - head into the city on weekends for comics & movies; see Al at the restaurant. That's the New York I still see within the city of today. --Jeff

Al had an Italian restaurant in the west village for years. He would sit outside trying to get youth go in...and we did a few times. It was always a blast talking to this kind, funny man. Part of my younger years.

Ahead of the launch of his rebooted Mind MGMT series, comics writer and artist Matt Kindt showed off his latest creation: a seal that declares his comics are 100% human-made. “Hopefully it’ll catch on and become a standardized label,” he said. buff.ly/7q36cuM
