I can imagine that this type of celebrity attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans with borderline personality disorder and/or other potentially dangerous and antisocial behaviors.

Certainly an environment that encourages a lot of people to just be nice to everyone in stream by default (except when someone is deemed acceptable to be yelled at and laughed at by everyone else for content…) and some people are lonely enough that they read a little too much into “HI [username]!”

That’s not an excuse to assault somebody

Hold people accountable instead of blaming the victim

Did we read the same message?

Pointing out who is likely to be a fan of hers isn’t “blaming the victim”. It’s being realistic about what she has to deal with. It shouldn’t happen, but bad people exist. Can’t ignore that.

Who’s blaming the victim?

I’m blaming the one-way relationship celebrity culture. It seems like a breeding ground for people with serious social issues.

Let’s be honest here, Emiru is literally a bland do-nothing loser who cultivated her fan… I mean cult in a certain way to make it easier for her to fleece money off of desperate men.

No one’s denying it is assault. In fact a lot of people say incident was waaaaaay too outrageous to be not considered staged. (Remember the whole Amouranth’s fake abuse case where she framed her husband & was later revealed to be bullshit.)

At the end of the day, the person will go to jail, but this was a case of their toxic manipulative behaviour backfiring on them.

You make the women in your life uncomfortable.

Says the creep.

What you’ve just done here is called “victim-blaming”
Show threadGalactoseOct 20
I believe you skipped over the part where I said it was assault
Show threadSaraToninOct 20

Acknowledging it was assault is not the same thing as not blaming the victim. People who say “she deserved to get raped” are acknowledging that a victim was raped.

I’ve not looked into Amouranth. This thread is about Emiru. Who is not culpable - in any way - for her assault. This is not something “backfiring” on her.

she was asking for it

Are you hearing yourself right now?

Show threadGalactoseOct 20
That’s YOUR interpretation. The correct one is she doesn’t deserve it; but let’s not kid ourselves. If it was someone like Asmongold (who I don’t like) you’d be singing a very different tune
