At first I was, " Wait, stalking an anime character?"
And then I was, "Oh."

Ugh, glad the creep has been arrested.

A bunch if deluded and mentally unstable people who can't distinguish their own self delusions.

Japan really needs to improve its mental health service.

The whole world needs to do that. Mental health treatment is a joke everywhere.

And people in the Western Vtuber scene still wants idol culture applied to talents here, despite incidents like this happening in Japan, China, and Korea (not to mention the whole Vox incident), you don't want it because you'll get incidents like this.

As opposed to Twitch streamers who get swatted. kidnapped or mugged?

Has nothing to do with 'idols' or 'Japan' but nice to see people jump on the stereotype.

Rule No.1 of the blame game

Individuals are responsible for their own actions unless they are part of any groups which I hate, in which case responsibility falls upon those groups and is considered irrefutable evidence to the evil of aforementioned groups thus justifying my initial hatred.

There is no Rule No. 2
