UK-based VTuber and artist Mimi Yanagi was arrested on April 20 for her own drawings of anime-style characters. These drawings were 100% fictional, made up by her, with no real people involved. UK law still treats these kinds of drawings as illegal child pornography, police took all her computers and devices. She has now been released on bail, but she is not allowed to post any “adult” content. She must also use an account name approved by the police. The UK is lost, you can’t even draw now, they will put you in prison

I think its important I post this because more information has come out about Mimi Yanagi the VTuber that was arrested in the UK For the last 3 days Millions of people have been talking about this subject thanks to the UK being overzealous with censoring and restricting everything. The story broke and even famous Japanese artists like the creator of Chun-li offered support. Now we arrive to this morning. After seeing what has been revealed a few hours ago. There was clear manipulation to the story that has been discovered. Now keep this in mind, this information is coming from Kiwifarms at this time. So it is possible this evidence is manipulated to some degree, because they started off the post literally slandering me. So take that however you will. However I am willing to admit this, but from what has been provided so far the people on Kiwifarms did a good job researching into this individual that released this morning on their site. So I do tip my hat on that Despite my recent issues with KF, they documented and provided actual evidence showcasing Mimi being arrested is making a lot more sense and even I was outright disgusted by what I saw. So lets get into what was discovered. The art in question that seems to have gotten the arrest. Mimi Yanagi is apparently not a woman, but a dude called Jordan. The artwork that was discovered 2 days ago with Mimi's model and dog to be completely blunt was disturbing even for me. Found it extremely weird. However upon further research it seems that was only the tip of the iceberg of what actually got them thrown in jail In the thread it shows Jordan "Mimi" fetishing being an actual "Pedophile" having art of babies having "CP" written on them. There's even more stuff that I don't even want to begin describing it because its actually revolting and makes me ill looking at it I think after seeing what evidence that was provided. I have found my limit to Anti-Censorship on this topic. So in conclusion this situation is fucking revolting and disgusted me greatly. I take back my defense of Mimi. This gave so much ammo to Pro-censorship people because of a bad actor lying to this extent on what really caused this arrested.

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.
