I remember hearing somewhere that this dude has very incel-ish views regarding women and that the JP Vocaloid community sees him as an embarrassment to Miku fans. Not sure how true that is but definitely interesting considering how the west sees him as this wholesome reddit chungus lonely guy who made his dream of marrying Miku come true.
No.947
>>944He was trying pretty hard to look wholesome until recently. The lingerie thing ruined him so bad in Japan that everyone on Twitter (even normies) started joking about the mikufucker guy and Crypton (allegedly) had to step in

A recent article about him came up on my feed today. Apparently he brought his Miku doll to a public park and it was freaking the kids out. Suddenly I understand why he's so hated in his home country, lol.

No.25053
>>25052They didn't sue, but they vagueposted about it. It was when he tried to get an in-person lingerie fitting for Miku and kept doubling down on it, even though most people were saying it was weird to do that in a regular clothing store.

I heard rumors he married Miku to challenge norms and not so much because he loved Miku. Basically, a political marriage, which is disappointing but I hope that's not true. Maybe someone in the know can help explain?
No.25056
>>25054Yeah, pretty much. The Japanese see him as nothing more than a lolcow, but the Western media doesn't exactly show that side of him so over here most people have a somewhat positive image of him. The average normie will of course find him weird but western otaku who aren't aware of his antics see him as this wholesome guy who married his favorite character.

No.25238
>>25220I think most people who own dolls like that do it for more than sexual gratification but a kind of comfort from loneliness. Though I would not say an ideal one since there is no actual social interaction going on but better than using people. You see a similar phenomenon with women who have realistic baby dolls often after losing a child.
No.25424

>>25424I don't see a real problem. I would not do anything public like him but I can appreciate when someone just stops caring and enjoys themselves. I do feel sorry for him that it is more a coping mechanism though. I haven't heard of him doing anything obscene in public, he merely is just doing something out of what is considered ordinary.
>>25433Nothing wrong with that if he does...I mean as long as he washes it properly and is not allergic to the materials.
No.25454
>>25440The problem is the guy knows it generates outrage and probably does shit intentionally at this point. He knowingly crosses lines and then gets mad when things don't go his way (i.e getting kicked out of places or facing rightful criticism for his deranged actions). I wouldn't mind if this guy was sincerely mentally ill and has strange (private) coping mechanisms. But no instead he parades around a lifesized miku sexdoll in public and acts like its something that should be normalized. This isn't even mentioning the reputation damage he unironically caused

No.25471
>>25460I have not heard too much about him but couldn't it just he feels justified? I don't think he is doing it to troll, he may actually see himself as being like a figure of human rights which is why he may get so defiant. It also serves as a way to get attention from people as a supplement to his loneliness. I am not licensed but I have played the role of a psychotherapist for a long time now and spoken to all kinds of people and am doing not well myself so that is why this sort of thing does not bother me to the degree it does some others. I could see how he might be annoying but not like he's some huge menacing figure.

No.25484
>>25479Right, because the Japanese press is famously measured and doesn't blow things out of proportion until they invent their own scandals.
>repeatedly get him talked aboutBottomfeeding off of X drama is self-sustaining. Even worse when it's based on a bunch of secondhand retellings or wishcasting how Japanese fans "feel" about the guy as if they're any greater authority. As far as I can tell the only thing that whipped people into a frenzy this time is that he mentioned he took the doll to his park on his own profile. Moralizing that exercise or whether CFM should swing a hammer down on him when they already signaled they want to stay out of it is needless when everyone would be more honest to admit they just want a lolcow to milk.
No.25486
>>25484I never understood this obsession with so called lolcows. It is one thing to find something amusing that is a personal experience bit it is a whole other thing to try to drag people through the mud and shit in the most public way possible. It is just a form of harassment. Then you have people acting like they know so much because what they heard from random strangers and act as if they personally know someone when they never spoke to them even.

>>25440>I haven't heard of him doing anything obscene in public.Tried to buy his Miku doll lingerie in public instead of online lmao, this is likely why people think it's a sex doll. Why buy lingerie for a doll you don't intend to do sexual things with?
Also I think the park he took his Miku to wasn't just a normal park but a playground for children. It's pretty obvious normies aren't gonna be fond of a guy dragging around what's likely a sex doll wearing a kid's uniform in front of real kids. Should've took her to Comiket or something instead, that crowd would be understanding.
I slightly agree we shouldn't singlehandedly blame this guy for Vocaloid fans' negative reputation, considering Vocaloid fans had this reputation prior and likely always will, but at the same time Crypton co-signing this guy would probably bring toxic people into our fandom, Japanese fans who dislike him are probably trying to prevent this. I hate people who claim they "hate politics" and "support freedom of expression" while shoving their personal politics into things and censoring people who disagree with them, and this guy definitely seems the type. He's basically using Miku and Vocaloid culture to ragebait people which sucks.
I once saw this guy tweet about a "gender equality punch" but couldn't tell if he was for or against it, I guess I got my answer lol

>Why buy lingerie for a doll you don't intend to do sexual things with?Well that Miku needs something to wear at night lol Not like it would be difficult to find out where the doll came from to confirm. I have reason to doubt it is a sex doll just because I have never seen one with stiff hair like that. It would get in the way.

I have seen worse on fc2 like some guy jerking off in the park, though it was just him there.
