Mimi Yanagi update... and an unpopular take. Various people have been dropping evidence on Kiwifarms, Reddit, The Virtual Asylum, and here on X of disturbing new information. The person was not an artist or a VTuber in the normal sense, but was a transgender communist by the name of Jordan Williams. The person commissioned art from various artists on FurAffinity, Pixiv, Baraag, Deviant Art, and VGen. Specifically, Jordan paid Imeoowto about $200 to make the rigged Vtuber model. Jordan was the client and not the creator of these artworks and drawings. Most of the artists he commissioned from are unnamed or anonymous... not tied to any known artist. The drawings contained extreme fe****es, and themes... like b******ity, multi p********tion, ga******gs, depicting this character and others in every combination of these disgusting scenarios possible. Is it gross? Yes. Is it offensive? Yes. Is it obscene? Yes. Is it evil? Yes. It's something I'd rather not see or be exposed to. Based on what is uncovered so far, no real children, no photos, no actual victims, no real animals, just illustrations. The worst one is the LazyTown Stephanie art, which is based on an animated character design and not from the actual child actress. Any association with real children appears to be a misattribution to artists who did "shadman" style art, and no actual real children were involved in the production of the materials. If that changes ill update it, but so far I don't see anything connected to real victims. That said, the person is likely to be a real pedophile, someone who is attracted to real children, by his saying it's a sub for CSAM and by the evidence uncovered. But "likely" is not a criminally prosecutable bar that holds up in court unless you are in the UK. This kind of "art" is perfectly legal in Japan, and one would assume, because of that, child SA must be rampant. The UK claims that these kinds of materials can normalize pedophilic ideation and be used in grooming, but without any backing based on real data. Instead, Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, while the UK is one of the least safe, where sex crimes are anywhere from 10x to over 50x Japan's rate. Here is the unpopular take... Based on the UK's law, I knew to some extent that this was likely the nature of the artwork in question. They don't arrest you for just the run-of-the-mill lolicon illustration. Despite all that, it is still a waste of money, time, and effort... all a symbolic effort to protect the kids, while the actual victims in the UK, being r***ed, get ignored. Even if it's absolutely disgusting, it is still in the 'thought crime' category, and it's a slippery slope. It's this kind of issue that is why the UK is in the quandary it is right now with hate speech laws, online monitoring of speech, and the Online Safety Act. Places like the US are more resilient when it comes to offensive political speech because the law in the states clearly distinguishes between fiction and reality. The US's First Amendment was crafted precisely because of the UK's tendency towards tyrannical framing of opinions and political speech. We shouldn't decide what is allowed and not allowed based on disgust, because if that becomes normalized, the First Amendment is no more.

I retire my defenses towards Mimi Yanagi, who turns out wasn't even a woman, but a man going by Jordan who did some heinous fucking shit. While I loathe the UK government for arresting people over fiction, they should've arrested Jordan anyway for the other shit he did

I like explaining my thought process cause I've learned a lot of people are trapped in the drama cycle and have forgotten what good faith arguments look like. So I keep hearing "but Mizu what if Mimi lied about why they were arrested?" Ok, so what? I didn't give Mimi a blanket defense for anything they have ever done, I specifically said if the facts have are correct, this is a free speech issue and I believe they should have free speech protections. If it turns out I was lied to about the facts then obviously my defense isn't for the new set of facts. This should be obvious but in a world where people want you to answer for stuff you said when you were 12 on Minecraft, that kind of good faith thinking is lost. The other argument is the idea that my Twitter posts might "help a predator get away" if it turns out we were lied to. My guys, idk how to tell you this, but if the British police let off someone they know was an actual pedo cause of a misinformed tweet then they have even more problems then we could ever hope to fix. My ultimate point with this thread is don't be afraid to defend A PRINCIPLE because the person that is using it might turn out to be bad. Your defense is of the principle, not the person. With that said I also need to address the swarm of bad actors trying to do victory laps about how they always knew, somehow. You knew nothing. You know nothing. You are malicious people who chase the high of others downfall. The more you do this, the less allies you'll have when they descend on you. You have alienated anyone that would ever consider you a real friend. Everyone around you will actively hold you under the bus when your time comes. Good luck.
