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.
