Offering tokens/tickets to an arcade (in exchange for her number) sounds suspiciously like the attempted enticement of a minor and it baffles me that anyone can hear this story and NOT want to hit this couple with the heaviest textbook one could buy.
I'd buy this shirt. I'm a Houston local and would wear it around the weekend of the con. I'd even put on the back explaining on why to boycot AM. I have too many friends who just ignore the problems of this con, while others have experienced all this mess first hand (They haven't come out publicly so I won't share their stories).
I know it would be a lot of work to do something like this, but if you so entertain the idea, then maybe you could donate proceeds to a charity like RAINN.
It's disheartening to see so many people still supporting AM and the Leighs so I'm glad someone is still willing to call them out! I remember when Cathy Cat announced she was going to AM and there were several comments on the vid about the sexual harassment scandal. I came back a couple of days later to check if there was a response from Cathy and all of the negative comments had been deleted! I was so disgusted that I unsubscribed from her and the other two channels that you mentioned.
Yeah, and you'd think there would have been *at least* criminal charges/convictions over their illegal business practices, if nothing else. I mean holy crap, even without the harassment there's fraud, theft, embezzlement...how does it all pile up for them without even the *remote possibility* of jail time...?!
What I'm about to say is not meant to act as a defense for Cathy's actions, but a potential explanation to consider in the fog of confusion we're in right now as we have lots of questions and few to no answers; Japanese business contract function INCREDIBLY differently then most contracts in western countries. I have never personally signed one, but I have had many Americans privately share their contracts with me as examples of what to expect when working in Japan; it is entirely possible that Cathy isn't commenting because of what she has formally agreed to with her primary employers way ahead of this ever happening. As a foreigner working in Japan, her ability to stay there and be able to hold a job is dependent on her respecting Japanese business practices, which come from a perspective very different then what you may assume should be "normal". Again, I am not trying to defend or excuse anything, I just really think this is important to consider; a lot of people assume Cathy is working with Wonderland directly, when the reality could be that she is working with them through more then one layer of Japanese business, meaning her livelihood is tied to upholding loyalty to her company and not to Wonderland. It is entirely possible she might hold a personal opinion we're not aware of due to these complications. So to sum it up, if you are going to write an angry letter, I would say it's better to send it to the companies surrounding all parties involved and not to Cathy. Again, not because Cathy is innocent, but because it is not as productive as actually contacting the big fish orchestrating all of this.
I absolutely agree with this, and I’m in the ‘dissapointed’ side. The most likely thing is that she’s under contract now and can’t say anything regardless of her opinion. While Japanese businesses tend to drop anything that might give them any sort of bad publicity, they also have all these layers and third-party businesses running the show, which makes it not only confusing but complicated and ‘details’ get lost really easily. The coverage of AM might have been signed beforehand and then everyone got stuck with it, and for the benefit of the doubt, she might have not even known she was modeling until the last minute and had no way back, or being told that it was only a ‘Putumayo collab’. The unfortunate thing is that she’s the one now stuck with the consequences.
Cathy knows about this since more than 1 year, when people were telling her why she shouldn't attend Anime Matsuri. No way she already signed a contract for a Tshirt collaboration back then.
SweetManiacDeluxe no this person is saying she might not hsve signed this contract directly, her big boss did. catie works for WAO! she is inder contract with said WAO!... if WAO! decided to sign a contract with the Leighs, catie has no say in it and no right to refuse said task given to her. she may also be ordered to stay quiet about it. in that case its the question: will catie refuse, lose her job at wao, lose her visa, go back to germany and basically give up her own dreams or will she bite her lip, take and post said photos, and keep her job, visa and dream. MORALLY speaking most would say option 1 is the best. but we all know majority would do what catie is doing, because your brain often sides with whats best for you individually
I can tell you right now with certainty Cathy does not agree with any of Leigh's actions. She is also NOT their 'friend'. It was just a gig set up by her employer. It is not fair to bash her. If i stood in her position i'd have just done the gig too and got it over with.. and move on... even knowing what the Leigh's have done. It's not like they killed or raped anyone. Leigh is just a crook that has a perverted mouth. If he talked like that to me i'd just tell him no and focus on getting the job done.
People are gonna say 'she was in Japan maybe she didn't hear about all this'. But I think after you get a huge flood of comments about a specific brand/person I think it would be better to wonder why these comments from your supporters are happening rather than closing comments. Cause many of the top comments I saw on that post were were informative and not outright bashing.
already said most of this o im just gonna copy paste other post and add onto it. contracts dont work the same in Japan she works for a company she may never have signed the contract but her company has and there by cannot say no without risk of being fired there was most likely alot of third party contract signing if the contract also states you can talk badly of the product or talk about the contract then you cant say anything and honestly id rather be seen as a supporter of a shit human being and keep my job rather than be homeless and on the street and im pretty sure you would too
Tyler, you and the amazing people in this community as well as the victims of all this, you are all absolute QUEENS!! You are incredible in so many ways ❤️
Thank you for your entertaining and heartfelt reporting. I hadn’t seen this latest controversy with Cathy Cat but it is important to know about so everyone can be informed.
The second I saw a picture of that lolita shop in Houston, I knew this was gonna be FIRE!!!! I saw a video that Lovely Lor did on same, but you gave hella background to it all!!
Only one criticism: The above mentioned gives Muppets a bad name and they don't deserve it. However thank you for enlightening me to things I should boycott/avoid. 👍
FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO! I've been waiting for this for forever! and I really hope Cathy Cat realises who she collaborated with and breaks it off cause I love her. I love watching her videos and I look at them for inspiration for my sweet Lolita coordinates.
'why?', because she believes in the good of humans and spends her time focusing on what is good about any situation. How much time did Jesus spend condemning? Good people are just that way.
KingsRight if that's the case she still shouldn't trust him. I don't care how many times he apologize if they did something that terrible like that I wouldn't collaborate with him even if he became the Pope himself.
contracts dont work the same in Japan she works for a company she may never have signed the contract but her company has and there by cannot say no without risk of being fired there was most likely alot of third party contract signing
I didn’t knew this happened! I’m so disappointed in Cathy, and honestly I’m surprised the Japanese let this go through, they are ridiculously picky and tend to drop anything that might bring any sort of negative publicity. But then again, Misako also never commented on her position regarding the Leighs being kawaii ambassadors...
Now I realize why I didn’t see it, neither account I follow (Cathy’s and kawaii pateen) mentions it and I don’t follow her social media outside TH-cam. There’s no way she didn’t know, I live under several rocks and still have a clear idea of what happened. How it’s anime matsuri still a thing???!!!
Kawaii Pateen and Cathy Cat certainly didn't say a peep about the controversy to my knowledge, no. It would somewhat get in the way of the Anime Matsuri video storm. I will never know how that convention continues...
Didn't both Minori and Misako state that they won't be working with Anime Matsuri/the Leigh's anymore due to the scandal? Iirc, that is. Edit: harajuju.tumblr.com/post/122261358044/john-leigh-of-anime-matsuri-who-sexually-harassed "Misako Aoki and the Japan Lolita Association are currently investigating the matter." I wonder what became of this alleged investigation.
I feel like I stepped on a landmine.. I had completely blocked Anime Matsuri and that dude from my mind.. Not gonna lie, I wish I had brain bleach now.. (mushroom-headed-f+ck-nugget is a beautiful insult)
I am so sorry. With any luck you'll have those memories locked back in the "Do not open upon pain of cringing" box soon enough, and in the meantime I recommend kittens. Take two times a day, or if you're allergic, find yourself a nice hypoallergenic pet rock. (Side benefit: can be thrown at predators, human or otherwise)
Write about this on Ask Japanese YT videos (make sure to keep the video paused) or on any other social media accounts. Ppl need to know what is going on and need to know what they’re indirectly supporting. The victims stories shouldn’t go unheard. Thank you so much for posting this scarfing scarves.
I am glad that the cathartic nature of the content proved entertaining enough to make up for the 50k John Leighs contained within it! Thank you for making it through it!
Yikes, somebody shared your page to a Facebook cosplay group so I decided to check it out. This is disturbing, I'm not super deep into lolita as a dude, but I've had female friends attend Anime Matsuri. Had no idea dark things were happening behind the curtains, thanks for the info!
I don't blame CathyCat for all that tho. She's probably doing it because her boss told her to do so. The Leighs do business with WAO✦RYU! TV not with CathyCat herself.
I do. She publicly supported the brand and everything it represents. No one is making her do anything, she just doesn't give a fuck if she gets money out of it I guess.
maybe cathy cat signed a contract for that promo. If so, even after knowing what happened she's still stuck with the contract. And lets be honest almost every youtuber/blogger call who they are promoting for their ''friends''.
I already wrote this under a different comment but here again: Cathy knows about this since more than 1 year, when people were telling her why she shouldn't attend Anime Matsuri. No way she already signed a contract for a Tshirt collaboration back then.
That is far too nice a thing to say, thank you. I am just sitting here in the salt mines, and am endlessly happy that you've enjoyed the series enough to return!
There’s a,ways been something off about Cathy cat tbh... it’s terrible this is happening to a somewhat influential person in the fashion.even more fucked up that she obviously doesn’t care. There’s no way she doesn’t know the controversy between those two. Ugh
It certainly sucks to see it play out this way, and no, ignorance doesn't seem to be a plausible excuse at this point. Too many have contacted her/commented/screamed from the rooftops for her not to have heard about it. It's unfortunate.
harassment like what you girls do to any good person Leigh has any slight ties to? sounds like you love to support bullying of the good, in hopes it will hurt the bad
Calling out and holding accountable people who perpetrate and enable sexual harassment of minors, and then blaming said minors for what this middle aged predator did to them, is bullying? Your skin must be gossamer thin.
Niko Scott How you must hate God for "enabling" this sexual predator by allowing him to live.. Providing all of that air and food. Guess God is getting bullied now by you in your thoughts. Nothing justifies treating good people poorly. You are using Leigh's actions as an excuse to bully others. 'Enabling' is not a crime, but bullying is. You're 'enabling' Trump every time you pay your taxes.. And he's done worse to women. Cathy supports fashion.. not creeps like Leigh that weave themselves in and around the industry to cash in. She doesn't even know the Leighs. Have you even stopped to check if Leigh learned his lesson and stopped treating women like that or are you too busy blindly attacking still?
I'm not American. Try again. And I don't know where you get your ideas about people who don't believe in your god, but I can assure you it's a rare day it crosses my mind as anything other than a convenient cuss word much like 'fuck'. Leigh has never admitted to or paid for his actions, so until that happens, fuck him. His wife - the enabler - blames his victims for allowing it to happen, and not 'just saying no'. We're talking about minors here. So take your sanctimonious garbage and assumptions and beak on at someone else.
Hello, Scarves I would like to ask you if you know if cathycat is informed about all this situation and if she is, what is/was her respond. or what said about cathycat's action the lolita fashion community in U.S.A.
I'm so glad you uploaded! I do watch Kawaii Pateen and CathyCat's channel. I did think them going to AnimeMatsuri was strange considering but I'm guessing maybe she wasn't informed of the controversy.
It isn't that Cathy doesn't know. It's that she is focused on better things to talk about. So move on and stop telling her about it. Clearly your answer is 'no', so let it go.. or are you just as bad as a guy who advances on a girl and doesn't take 'no' for an answer? Is it that you believe in forcing people to do what you want them to and agree with you? Even if it means Bullying.. which means some of you girls think bullying is okay to get what you want? Thus punishing a good person for the crimes of another person.
Does anyone know if Holiday Matsuri has any ties to Anime Matsuri? I was considering going next year, but if it supports these assholes, I want no part of it.
did anyone else try to cover up all the pictures of him with your hand because you don't want to have nightmares but it turned out to be extremely difficult :s
I follow Cathy in social media but had no clue about this issue... I don't really blame her. I've been friends with people I shouldn't have before (cut that relationship off later, but she was still my precious friend at the time.) And just because you might like someone's production doesn't mean they're supporting their other habits. Liking some star's music but not them as people. Happy to learn about it though. Not going to boycott it if I find stuff I really love from the store, but I might give it a second though. You just got yourself a new subscriber!! I like the way you talk.
omg, I'll never go to an Anime Matsuri ever again. I'm not even in america, I don't know who makes them in my country, but I am disgusted. btw, love your show, I'm not even a lolita, but you make me wanna buy some overexpensive clothes for myself. lots of love from Argentina!♡
Oh god i live in houston so hard for a lolita fan here because most collaborations are for anime matsuri plus san japan another convention i can go cut off their fashion shows and lolita tea party
I love you so much!! I look forward to your videos being as my family specifuxally my brother tells me if i dont want to get calked things like sl*t i shouldnt wear lolita
Oh god, I had to stop at 0:58 and double check but YEP, NihongoGamer is part of Cathy Cat's bubble. This is so disappointing... and I am baffled at how quickly a channel I watch with my boyfriend about Street Fighter could be ruined by association.
It kind of grosses me out that I've had a conversation with him before. Maybe it's the fact that it was in a public setting and not online, that he didn't enter creep-mode. Never the less he does know how to get what he wants, by twisting things around, and is very arrogant, even when talking about a business-related topic.
Im not a lolita nor do i really care.. Its fashion... Not that serious. I jus love ur frackin sarcasm.. Lmao.. So jus keep it comin. Haha im dying this morning.. Also... Was the girl that did all the work while everyone else just signed there name
Same. She's in japan and actually manages to get enough funds together to afford a sizeable closet full of brand. But then she continues to make the cringiest, ita-level coordinates out of them. Just goes to show you cannot buy a sense of style. She has a video with a thumbnail of pictures of her side by side comparing 2013 with her in 2016 and now. And honestly I thought her 2013 version was better. It's rare that a lolita gets worse as they go on. She's probably a nice person (who knows), I just can't stand to watch most of her content where she wears her outfits that are a mix between lolita, cosplay aesthetics and excess accessories.
Just let know you have support and read have lawsuit against you. Instead doing video against your video. I hope the sponsors of the convention pull out ( and people stop buying tickets) and as for ask Japan they really need separate themselves from this convention.
I NEED A MEME THAT SAYS COMPLICITY IS NOT KAWAII
I have a feeling that's going to happen somehow...
My thoughts exactly.
I had no idea this happened. I thought Cathy Cat would be better than that. Thank you for informing us.
It is unfortunate. Thank you very much for dropping by to watch this show!
Cathy Cat has also disabled comments on the Insta posts featuring this outfit.
Offering tokens/tickets to an arcade (in exchange for her number) sounds suspiciously like the attempted enticement of a minor and it baffles me that anyone can hear this story and NOT want to hit this couple with the heaviest textbook one could buy.
The frilly sass queen has returned! Last Week Lolita news is the gift that keeps giving
Aaaaw, I come bearing gifts of unnecessary words! Thank you for having the grace to receive them without looking visibly put upon!
“Complicity is not kawaii”
YYYYAAASSSSS
PRINT IT UP ON A SHIRT!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Karleigh H. Best shirt idea!
I hadn't even thought about that! lol
Karleigh H. Seriously please do
I'd buy this shirt. I'm a Houston local and would wear it around the weekend of the con. I'd even put on the back explaining on why to boycot AM. I have too many friends who just ignore the problems of this con, while others have experienced all this mess first hand (They haven't come out publicly so I won't share their stories).
I know it would be a lot of work to do something like this, but if you so entertain the idea, then maybe you could donate proceeds to a charity like RAINN.
Never change Tyler never change.
It's disheartening to see so many people still supporting AM and the Leighs so I'm glad someone is still willing to call them out! I remember when Cathy Cat announced she was going to AM and there were several comments on the vid about the sexual harassment scandal. I came back a couple of days later to check if there was a response from Cathy and all of the negative comments had been deleted! I was so disgusted that I unsubscribed from her and the other two channels that you mentioned.
How is this guy not in jail yet? Pages upon pages of evidence? geeze.
Yeah, and you'd think there would have been *at least* criminal charges/convictions over their illegal business practices, if nothing else. I mean holy crap, even without the harassment there's fraud, theft, embezzlement...how does it all pile up for them without even the *remote possibility* of jail time...?!
Loved the serious "tell their stories" note.
I'm really glad to hear that spoke to you. I always wonder if I'm going to lose people on the serious side of things.
Oh, jeezus, I need to clean out my channel subscriptions. Also, I feel you on the whole group project thing.
They. Were. Awful! Weren't they? Sorry you experienced the same.
What I'm about to say is not meant to act as a defense for Cathy's actions, but a potential explanation to consider in the fog of confusion we're in right now as we have lots of questions and few to no answers; Japanese business contract function INCREDIBLY differently then most contracts in western countries. I have never personally signed one, but I have had many Americans privately share their contracts with me as examples of what to expect when working in Japan; it is entirely possible that Cathy isn't commenting because of what she has formally agreed to with her primary employers way ahead of this ever happening. As a foreigner working in Japan, her ability to stay there and be able to hold a job is dependent on her respecting Japanese business practices, which come from a perspective very different then what you may assume should be "normal".
Again, I am not trying to defend or excuse anything, I just really think this is important to consider; a lot of people assume Cathy is working with Wonderland directly, when the reality could be that she is working with them through more then one layer of Japanese business, meaning her livelihood is tied to upholding loyalty to her company and not to Wonderland. It is entirely possible she might hold a personal opinion we're not aware of due to these complications. So to sum it up, if you are going to write an angry letter, I would say it's better to send it to the companies surrounding all parties involved and not to Cathy. Again, not because Cathy is innocent, but because it is not as productive as actually contacting the big fish orchestrating all of this.
I absolutely agree with this, and I’m in the ‘dissapointed’ side. The most likely thing is that she’s under contract now and can’t say anything regardless of her opinion.

if WAO! decided to sign a contract with the Leighs, catie has no say in it and no right to refuse said task given to her.
she may also be ordered to stay quiet about it.
in that case its the question: will catie refuse, lose her job at wao, lose her visa, go back to germany and basically give up her own dreams

Thank you for your entertaining and heartfelt reporting. I hadn’t seen this latest controversy with Cathy Cat but it is important to know about so everyone can be informed.
Thank you for stopping whatever far more important activities you have to watch this installment! I'm so glad it proved informative!
thank you for that part at the end has me up in tears thank you for sharing their and our stories 💕 Couldn't have said it any better! You're amazing.
Am small pile of salt. I say too many words, and thank you for having the patience to make it through them.
so glad this is back up!
random but I just found ur account, I love it, and I go to acen every year I hope I can see you next year! 🖤
I randomly stumbled upon this video and I'm not even into lolita stuff but I love the way you talk XD
The second I saw a picture of that lolita shop in Houston, I knew this was gonna be FIRE!!!! I saw a video that Lovely Lor did on same, but you gave hella background to it all!!

"Maybe Cathy cat can let that cat out of the next unboxing video" I love this quote so much
I really love your channel! Keep it up
*complicity is not kawaii*
Indeed, it is not!
oh Cathy why.
And that is the question...
'why?', because she believes in the good of humans and spends her time focusing on what is good about any situation. How much time did Jesus spend condemning? Good people are just that way.
KingsRight if that's the case she still shouldn't trust him. I don't care how many times he apologize if they did something that terrible like that I wouldn't collaborate with him even if he became the Pope himself.

Didn't both Minori and Misako state that they won't be working with Anime Matsuri/the Leigh's anymore due to the scandal? Iirc, that is.

"Misako Aoki and the Japan Lolita Association are currently investigating the matter."
I wonder what became of this alleged investigation.
This was perfect, thanks for using your platform for such a worthy cause and for looking out for the community when other figures aren't.
I'm so glad to hear you felt it was cathartic! Thank you for taking time out to watch it.
I feel like I stepped on a landmine.. I had completely blocked Anime Matsuri and that dude from my mind.. Not gonna lie, I wish I had brain bleach now.. (mushroom-headed-f+ck-nugget is a beautiful insult)
I am so sorry. With any luck you'll have those memories locked back in the "Do not open upon pain of cringing" box soon enough, and in the meantime I recommend kittens. Take two times a day, or if you're allergic, find yourself a nice hypoallergenic pet rock. (Side benefit: can be thrown at predators, human or otherwise)
So glad this video is back up! Time for it to spread to a larger audience!
Write about this on Ask Japanese YT videos (make sure to keep the video paused) or on any other social media accounts. Ppl need to know what is going on and need to know what they’re indirectly supporting. The victims stories shouldn’t go unheard. Thank you so much for posting this scarfing scarves.
I'm happy you got your videos back.
I'm so glad that TH-cam, suggested your video to me - now I need to watch everything ❤~
Thank you for doing the research! I would have never been aware of this dude
Fucking brutal... if I were the people being read, I wouldn't be able to recover from this at least for a month.
I am glad that the cathartic nature of the content proved entertaining enough to make up for the 50k John Leighs contained within it! Thank you for making it through it!

thanks for putting in the time to report on this clusterfuck! ♡
Thanks for hanging in there long enough to watch it!
Congrats on getting your video back up dude!!
YESS ! I've been watching and rewatching your videos non-stop ( you're just too goddamn funny ) and I'm so so so happy to see a new LWLN
I am deeply impressed with your endurance for this level of verbosity! Seriously, thank you so much for watching this series!
"He might be an alpaca" made me giggle harder than I should have.
you are brilliant.
I don't blame CathyCat for all that tho. She's probably doing it because her boss told her to do so. The Leighs do business with WAO✦RYU! TV not with CathyCat herself.
same
I do. She publicly supported the brand and everything it represents. No one is making her do anything, she just doesn't give a fuck if she gets money out of it I guess.
can i have a source for that
@@Carolina013 I don't think you quite understand how "talent" contracts work in Japan. Once you sign, they OWN YOU.
I love the mix of sarcastic and Lolita... Keep going! *^*
You look really cute today just so you know ♡
Well, that's just the nicest thing someone could say. I am but a small pile of salt, with a bow on top, thank you.
Who ever writes the script should be a comedian
Cephas Bethlehem she writes her own script lmao
I am very happy you made this video.
I am very happy you came by to watch it! Thank you!
I was waiting for this Merry Christmas to me
Alice Fleur saaaaaammmeeee!
A very merry Christmas to you! (Also thank you, in all seriousness, for spending 14 valuable minutes of your life on this side of the internet)
I've found god and she is frilly.
So these are the fabled clip on bangs. I’ve gone far enough back that you don’t have bangs 😂 thanks for the hours of entertainment
You're teaching me how to be a mindful advocate to defend against stuff like this
Aw, I was hoping you were also going to roast that terrible Innocent World Christmas print. Oh well...
Also, super disappointed in Cathy Cat.
Aaaaw, man! I missed that one!
ah ik of Shop in Wonderland. I live in texas. it’s soo badddd
He also walks into the changing rooms for the lolita fashion shows, while they’re still dressing up.
maybe cathy cat signed a contract for that promo. If so, even after knowing what happened she's still stuck with the contract. And lets be honest almost every youtuber/blogger call who they are promoting for their ''friends''.
I already wrote this under a different comment but here again: Cathy knows about this since more than 1 year, when people were telling her why she shouldn't attend Anime Matsuri. No way she already signed a contract for a Tshirt collaboration back then.
Just found this channel and I already love this girl
you're so beautiful and passionate at what you do. keep on giving us the hard truth in that cool yet entertainingly sarcastic voice of yours.
That is far too nice a thing to say, thank you. I am just sitting here in the salt mines, and am endlessly happy that you've enjoyed the series enough to return!

It certainly sucks to see it play out this way, and no, ignorance doesn't seem to be a plausible excuse at this point. Too many have contacted her/commented/screamed from the rooftops for her not to have heard about it. It's unfortunate.
Aww, I cannot find the Anime Matsuri videos. :/
Are they still gone because of the fake copyright strikes?
Victory! The video is back up!
WELCOME BACK, VIDEOS!
Harassament is always wrong, it's not kawaii!11!!
unless it helps you get more money/likes/fame
then it's ok
-cathycat
This reads like a tumblr poem turned corporate. I love it.
harassment like what you girls do to any good person Leigh has any slight ties to? sounds like you love to support bullying of the good, in hopes it will hurt the bad
Calling out and holding accountable people who perpetrate and enable sexual harassment of minors, and then blaming said minors for what this middle aged predator did to them, is bullying?
Your skin must be gossamer thin.
Niko Scott How you must hate God for "enabling" this sexual predator by allowing him to live.. Providing all of that air and food. Guess God is getting bullied now by you in your thoughts. Nothing justifies treating good people poorly. You are using Leigh's actions as an excuse to bully others. 'Enabling' is not a crime, but bullying is. You're 'enabling' Trump every time you pay your taxes.. And he's done worse to women. Cathy supports fashion.. not creeps like Leigh that weave themselves in and around the industry to cash in. She doesn't even know the Leighs. Have you even stopped to check if Leigh learned his lesson and stopped treating women like that or are you too busy blindly attacking still?
I'm not American. Try again.
And I don't know where you get your ideas about people who don't believe in your god, but I can assure you it's a rare day it crosses my mind as anything other than a convenient cuss word much like 'fuck'.
Leigh has never admitted to or paid for his actions, so until that happens, fuck him. His wife - the enabler - blames his victims for allowing it to happen, and not 'just saying no'. We're talking about minors here.
So take your sanctimonious garbage and assumptions and beak on at someone else.
it looks like she's disabled comments on her instagram post but hasn't taken it down >.>
Well this is sad i loved cathy 😢😭 i knew none of this.
You have my sympathies. It sucks to hear stuff like this about a media figure you like.
Hello, Scarves I would like to ask you if you know if cathycat is informed about all this situation and if she is, what is/was her respond. or what said about cathycat's action the lolita fashion community in U.S.A.
You are a BLESSING!!! CALL THAT ASS OUTTTTT!!!!
I am but a small pile of salt, but I'm thrilled to hear you liked the installment! :D
I'm so glad you uploaded! I do watch Kawaii Pateen and CathyCat's channel. I did think them going to AnimeMatsuri was strange considering but I'm guessing maybe she wasn't informed of the controversy.
Stephano Buttcape Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know.
yeah she is removing comments on instagram and even disabled them on the pics where she promotes the creeps store.
It isn't that Cathy doesn't know. It's that she is focused on better things to talk about. So move on and stop telling her about it. Clearly your answer is 'no', so let it go.. or are you just as bad as a guy who advances on a girl and doesn't take 'no' for an answer? Is it that you believe in forcing people to do what you want them to and agree with you? Even if it means Bullying.. which means some of you girls think bullying is okay to get what you want? Thus punishing a good person for the crimes of another person.
me too glad at taylor say it.
Aaaaand...video is back up, hooray!
omg i was wondering if you were going to cover this lmao
It took me a bit to get through the nausea of the situation to do it, but there it is.
ScarfingScarves this episode is great, thank you for your hard work! thank you for taking such serious content matter and making it funny.
What's the name of her dress? I love it 😍 (yeah I know almost knowing about Lolita but I enjoyed it)
Thank u for blessing us with a video
Thank you for having the saint-like patience to sit through it!
Does anyone know if Holiday Matsuri has any ties to Anime Matsuri? I was considering going next year, but if it supports these assholes, I want no part of it.
Cheyenne Nichole matsuri just means festival so I think not
Thank you! I actually didn't know that, lol. :)
sure thing ^_^
Cheyenne Nichole Not at all!! I'm originally from FL, HolMat is actually a very wonderful con! It is nOT associated with Anime Matsuri what so ever.
yay the video is backkkk
did anyone else try to cover up all the pictures of him with your hand because you don't want to have nightmares but it turned out to be extremely difficult :s
"Mushroom-headed-fuck-muppet" I love you!
that guy is the reason why people cant send there kids to school without cell phones tazers and mace..DISGUSTING!!
I fucking love you Tyler, we have to inform everyone about this!!!
I fracking heart you back! We must shout this story from the rooftops!
Omg! You got it back up! Way to go girl! 😁😁😁😁😁😁🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉. Also I unsubscribe from ask Japan and all of their other channels!
OH MY GOD I LITERALLY HAVE A SAD ELF PUG PLUSHIE I GOT FROM MY TRIP TO GREAT BRITAIN
IT WASNT EVEN CHRISTMAS WHEN I GOT IT BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE LEFT
That speech at the end was great.
Thank you for taking time to sit through it! I'm glad you liked it.
Cathy Cat is also a reporter at NHK TV and I think she got fired from Kawaii Patten
THE SALTY RUFFLE COATED LITTLE BEAN IS BACK! Yay!
I follow Cathy in social media but had no clue about this issue... I don't really blame her. I've been friends with people I shouldn't have before (cut that relationship off later, but she was still my precious friend at the time.)
And just because you might like someone's production doesn't mean they're supporting their other habits. Liking some star's music but not them as people. Happy to learn about it though. Not going to boycott it if I find stuff I really love from the store, but I might give it a second though.
You just got yourself a new subscriber!! I like the way you talk.
Hoooooly shit, this clusterfuck has just snowballed in epicly fucked up proportions.
omg, I'll never go to an Anime Matsuri ever again. I'm not even in america, I don't know who makes them in my country, but I am disgusted.
btw, love your show, I'm not even a lolita, but you make me wanna buy some overexpensive clothes for myself.
lots of love from Argentina!♡
Oh god i live in houston so hard for a lolita fan here because most collaborations are for anime matsuri plus san japan another convention i can go cut off their fashion shows and lolita tea party
It lives 💖💖💖
I love you so much!! I look forward to your videos being as my family specifuxally my brother tells me if i dont want to get calked things like sl*t i shouldnt wear lolita
From guys driving by in cars
Ugh my mother is like that asshat. This is so disturbing
Off topic but what the frick happened to your blonde hair..?? I went back to some older videos and it looked so cute and suited you so well 💖💖
Yikes, I unsubbed from Cathy years ago for being too cringe, but this is super cringe.
It is unfortunate to say the least...
I like ask Japanese :( it's cool to see what people from other countries think of different topics
It's back up!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Slay with your John Oliver styled kawaii activism. #f**knobaldo Harrassing children is not okay.
Yaaas !she's back!
I live!
Oh god, I had to stop at 0:58 and double check but YEP, NihongoGamer is part of Cathy Cat's bubble. This is so disappointing... and I am baffled at how quickly a channel I watch with my boyfriend about Street Fighter could be ruined by association.
I ask you that because I noticed that cathy has gain 2,000 plus subscribers from the day which you upload this video
It kind of grosses me out that I've had a conversation with him before. Maybe it's the fact that it was in a public setting and not online, that he didn't enter creep-mode. Never the less he does know how to get what he wants, by twisting things around, and is very arrogant, even when talking about a business-related topic.
Im not a lolita nor do i really care.. Its fashion... Not that serious. I jus love ur frackin sarcasm.. Lmao.. So jus keep it comin. Haha im dying this morning.. Also... Was the girl that did all the work while everyone else just signed there name
Jinkies.
Indeed, and now I want to watch Scooby Doo. lol
Well, I might get hate for this but TBH, I hate Cathy Cat's lolita coords. They are so basic and plain, and overall poorly thrown together.
Same. She's in japan and actually manages to get enough funds together to afford a sizeable closet full of brand.
But then she continues to make the cringiest, ita-level coordinates out of them.
Just goes to show you cannot buy a sense of style.
She has a video with a thumbnail of pictures of her side by side comparing 2013 with her in 2016 and now. And honestly I thought her 2013 version was better. It's rare that a lolita gets worse as they go on.
She's probably a nice person (who knows), I just can't stand to watch most of her content where she wears her outfits that are a mix between lolita, cosplay aesthetics and excess accessories.
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a Lolita/cosplayer from Houston
The Black Bonné don't be! If anything you are a living representation of the very best we can find there ❤️
We deserve better. So much better.
I fucking love you holy shit. This is beautiful. *subscribes*
Wait, is this the dimension where people can be contractually obligated to do things they don't want to?
Just let know you have support and read have lawsuit against you. Instead doing video against your video. I hope the sponsors of the convention pull out ( and people stop buying tickets) and as for ask Japan they really need separate themselves from this convention.
