    Small correction, Rushia wasn't terminated from Hololive directly because of the reveal of their relationship. Hololive was on her side at the start, but it turned out that in an attempt to defend herself she broke the NDA and revealed sensitive company information to 3rd parties, which caused her termination.

      I think something that helps is that if you had anyone in your inner circle of friends, this sort of situation is very likely to filter out the bad actor friends. It really does seem to be doing that. As someone that has people pull me into their divorce and had 1 majorly abusive/unstable ex in 2013 that still tries to go after my husband and I with slander every once in a while. We still live in the same area and sadly it's kind of insular and you can't avoid it. But you do figure out who your true friends are. And you can find sympathy with those that have gone through similar issues. I'm looking towards the positive for him, no matter how hard this period in his life has been!

    *Edit:* 4:33 Big correction: It wasn't the direct reason why she got terminated. She was terminated because she leaked some hololive-related information to Korekore, which directly broke her NDA. We truly don't know what's the extent of those leaks, but it was happening for some time at that moment.
    In actuality, Cover Corp & hololive doesn't mind what their employees' relationships are. They actually support Rushia at that time, as those are private infos. If you dig more into some personal stuff, there are some holomembers are actually married or already in a relationship but those are taboo information.

Thank God he’s ten times a better and more knowledgeable person than I am because honestly I could’ve ended up in a situation like Mafu.
      How to deal with love and the science of it aren’t really discussed in everyday life or even by parents bc the majority don’t struggle with being apathetic/aromantic (not that it’s a struggle for everyone but for some it is) and as such people like us get into “stupid” situations that would be more obvious to people who’ve experienced more relationships.

    @Yenrei 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +748

    Two minor corrections. First, Mafumafu was NOT the one who leaked the story. In multiple interviews before and during the relationship, he asserted that he didn't believe in love. Also, Rushia was a GFE primary vtuber. That's two images he benefitted from upholding, even at the cost of protecting a lie. He even shut down rumors of marriage and living together in the days leading up to Rushia's NDA breach back then. Despite being tortured by her in every sense except physically, mind you. Fast forward to recently. He confided in several people about how the relationship and her affair went down, and while it did open his eyes to the truth that he was being abused, it led to one of said confidants leaking the story. Mafumafu's huge post was IN RESPONSE to the leak; he basically killed two birds with one stone by finally getting the opportunity to get the truth off his chest and stopping any undue misinformation before it started.
    Second, the Discord Panopticon, so to speak, was actually Mafumafu's suggestion! She gladly accepted the last shred of his privacy (he only hoped to quell her suspicions nature), but it was his idea initially. Timeline-wise, that suggests that the very Discord message that leaked onto Rushia's stream was him reporting to her as per the Panopticon. He has either an angel or a time traveller in his ear, because he literally saved his future self with that.

      For me it was because I was cheated on and had some pretty bad PTSD from that. Leaked into my new relationships and for a while I could not be in a relationship that was "serious" due to not wanting to open myself like that again - the first serious relationship I got into after the major cheating/breakup incident that really changed the way I see people... Every little change in behavior spurs the "he's cheating it's over" knee-jerk reaction with that PTSD.

I hope Mafumafu recovers from this nightmare situation.

      As a fan I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. It was very strange the way she seemed to be treated by other holomem.
      But now I can't see any way to defend her because of how serious her behavior is.
      All I can say is, I wish she was better or could have done better...
      I remember posting comments to her before and after her graduation, wishing her healthier relationships and such. Absolute crickets.
      In a way I felt like a dad giving a daughter advice. Now I know why she didn't take it seriously.
      It's her life, she has to learn from her own mistakes. But I won't be there to watch over her. That ship has sailed.

    I didn't expect you to touch on this subject but I guess it just shows how controversial this topic is in Japan .
    Rushia is a huge name in the Japan Vtubing scene because, in her streams, she played a menhera, the jealous, possessive, slightly mentally unstable girlfriend who played right into the lonely "I can fix her" fanbase. Shockingly, it turns out that Mikeneko herself is a real menhera, the "run the other way" type.

      are you sure "i can fix her" has a japanese analogue? menhera is older than the "i can fix her" meme iirc, "i can fix her" feels much more recent. You will find that a lot of ppl that like menhera like it cuz it's about a woman obsessed with "you", and there's a (corruption of the concept of) devotion.

I've been a fan of Mafumafu since he was just starting out and never cared if he was in a relationship or anything, I just loved his music and sweet personality. My heart really breaks for him because he has already suffered so much throughout his life. I really hope he's doing alright after all this.
    Edit: The stuff about his pets really pisses me off too because he has always shown how much he loves them.

      I don’t trust these allegations at all. The timelines do not make sense. They dated for all of six months then got married. Rushia using discord instead of say GPS tracking. Him being ‘clueless about love’ yet having female fans swooning over him. His evidence is lackluster at best. Mikeneko leaving her urn with her cat’s remains at Mafu’s house despite how much of a cat person Mike is. Like why would she just leave it in the trash then not come back for it? It makes no sense. How can Mikeneko stream while looking at and responding to Discord Messages 24/7? Him waiting so long to come out with this. The fact he did nothing in this situation. Mafu took no accountability. He did not admit that he should have waited more than six months to get into a marriage. He did nothing to fix the relationship (like counciling). He never tried to get Mike therapy. He never put his foot down and stood up for himself whatsoever. He just went along with this all. I am sorry but do you really want me to believe that you put up with all the abuse you laid out and then you thought it was normal? I do not buy this. Combine this with Mikeneko getting a VA role recently, Mafu getting Kore Kore involved and Mafu’s career going down the toilet and I do not trust Mafu here. I personally think Kore is playing both parties here like a fiddle. Mafu is desperate, his career got torpedoed by these allegations and he is turning to Kore. Kore will stab mafu in the back I guarantee it. Kore will be the only winner of this situation. Mafu and Mikeneko will destroy each other and he will be making out with more relevancy.

      @@topace1038 Let’s break down your statements and properly answer them, shall we?
      who said it was 6 months? All we know is when they got married.
      Love and fan girls aren’t the same thing. Are you delusional? Seems you know less about love than Mfmf does if you actually are equating romance to fans.
      His evidence is anecdotal, some of which is literally parroted by Mikeneko herself. Hence, 2 ppl confirming information does paint a damning picture. It also does explain a lot of mysteries from the past multiple Mikeneko incidents. For example, her tendency to accuse others of slander has been shown very frequently (Exhibit A: her attack on Delutaya).
      It seems you’ve also missed Mike’s explanation where she corroborates Mfmf’s claims, since she mentions she didn’t leave her cat’s ashes, rather a DIFFERENT pet’s ashes behind.
      How can Mike do 2 things at once? It’s called multitasking. And it does line up with what started the incident that got her canned from Hololive.
      Did you miss Mfmf’s post? He said he was accountable for not speaking up sooner or doing anything more to stop her. But even if he didn’t, why does that matter? How dare he not speak on private matters? How dare he not be mentally well after being abused? What is he guilty of? Guilty of doing something he never said he did? Or is it guilt over putting himself into a position to be victimized? Enough with the victim blaming. He’s not responsible for his ex wife’s mental problems, she needs to be a big girl and handle it HERSELF. He isn’t her dad. Not only that, he tried different things, but Mike refused. He can’t force her, and he clearly wasn’t in the right place to help himself either. Victims have trouble defending themselves cuz they’re made to believe it’s all their fault. Like you’re trying do say now. You’re either extremely privileged to have never experienced abuse, or you’ve been abused and normalized it like Mfmf did. You can’t even fathom why something could be wrong.
      Mikeneko got Korekore involved FIRST. Did you miss the Hololive situation? Or did you wipe it from your brain so you could pretend she’s in the right? Mgmt making a statement to clear the air as he gets slandered by Mikeneko is valid. Mikeneko’s VA work is irrelevant, so what r u talking about? Mfmf’s career is also unrelated, but he’s doing fine too. Like you said, he’s got a lot of fan girls swooning. Unless you want to contradict yourself even more.
      Mfmf is going to sue Mike. He’s learned from Mike torpedoing her career last time to not trust Korekore too much. So he will be fine.
      If you’re going to try and poke holes and question, the LEAST you can do is do research.

Sure love and fan girls are not the same thing. I am not delusional. But you can’t say they are not similiar to certain people. This guy almost certainly has received fan letters gushing for him. I find the idea that this guy is clueless about love to be really difficult to believe. That is such a cliché thing that someone would say. You say that it is easy to do two things at once. However to do it without raising any suspicions is another story. Mike has to stop what she is doing look over at Discord and reply back to him all while streaming in front of a live audience or playing a game. It is not easy to do as someone who uses discord. “He is not her dad.” Yeah but he is her husband. He should have absolutely been more vocal about her receiving therapy.

He could have chosen anyone else yet he chooses a drama streamer. Someone who is far from a reputable character. Also the evidence provided was not conclusive. A line message that might have been faked and a picture of cardboard boxes on the floor as evidence she trashed the place. Not really inspiring evidence. I bring up their careers because it seems all too convenient that as Mikeneko is getting herself back on track, getting help and new opportunities that these allegations from two years ago come up. Mike was not a fully healthy person at that time. I can admit that she is not an innocent angel. But to suggest that perhaps a Divorced Spouse who very well might be desperate is completely not at fault and is not potentially making this story up is innocent is crazy. Have we learned nothing from the Amber Heard case? The accuser is not always 100% right. Yet everyone latches onto the first person to make accusations and puts people like Mike neko into a bind because no matter what she says unless she brings out evidence being saved for the court case (a bad idea) she is screwed no matter what she says.

      It depends. For older salaryman that spend most of their time away on business trips, it’s relatively common for them to visit soaplands and girls bars and the like. I wouldn’t say it’s socially acceptable, but it’s tolerable. I’ve even heard girls say they wouldn’t consider it cheating as long as there is no love involved / it stays strictly transactional (although they wouldn’t be thrilled obviously). But for standard relationships among young people, I don’t think it’s any more common than in the west. You’ll see inflammatory street interviews on TH-cam with Japanese guys and girls talking about their body counts, but these are really a select few that have already been cherry picked in areas like Shibuya and Shinjuku, which aren’t really representative of the country overall.

      Maybe a factor but they tend more to introversion and passivity in their culture. Look up the male "herbivore" subculture for example. Men who aren't actively seeking relationships. They don't seem to be motivated by fear of infidellty in staying single. It's more that they are inexperienced and intimidated by relationships. Even finding women uncomfortable and downright intimidating.

    • @adrianaslund8605
      @adrianaslund8605 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The correlation could be the other way around too. For example if you are a shy introverted and sensitive man and he also said that she initially told him that she accepted him and loved him for what he was and then it turns out that she's deeply insecure, overbearing and accuse him of cheating and made him feel like everything he did was wrong and his fault. Even when he didn't do anything wrong something like that doesn't really make the prospects of a relationship all that attractive. Basically her fear of infidelity was the problem. Not infidelity itself. With people like that no wonder people avoid relationships.

    A discord notification popped up on screen while she was streaming with Miko, it was a DM from him and it was a bit candid, a common message that a couple has.
    Then Hololive sent her into hiatus and made a statement saying that what the talents had in their personal lives wasnt anything they as a company care and so the public shoudlnt care as well (All while promoting an anniversary merch drop with a wedding motif around valentine's day).
    As she supposedly went into Hiatus, she went and contacted a Japanese internet news youtuber (a Japanese drama channel), and heres where it went down quickly:
    - She went to try and defend herself from all the backlash she got for having a boyfriend
    - But when trying to contact the drama chanel, she gave away important info about Hololive (dont really know what, but it broke NDAs)
    Hololive terminated her for leaking info and breaking NDA because "She tried to defend herself from the backlash", hololive defended her when mafumafu was suspected to be his boyfriend.
    Tl;dr: Rushia leaked a relationship, was sent into hiatus to calm the public while holo said "Stop being creeps, she has a live too" and then proceeded to break NDA trying to prove she was rushia and got fired for leaking things

      The only reason they sent her into hiatus were JP people were mad, like how dare an IDOL have a bf let alone mafumafu of all people.
      She was stupid enough to open her mouth to korekore of all people, now mafumafu is doing the same open his mouth to him. No reason for telling the masses what is going, its clear he's looking for public sympathy and outcry to help swing the jury.
      Regardless, this whole matter should've done privately behind closed door, until a settlement occured, like how they kept their relationship a secret.

    When I saw Mafumafu's apology on Twitcast without really knowing the reason I just started crying because of how hurt and genuinely apologetic he sounded. Then I went on to find out all the things that had happened and I was just bawling after that. I don't feel betrayed or shocked in the slightest hearing that he was married, I just feel so sad for him. I've been following him for a while now, maybe 4-5 years, and he's in my top 3 favorite singers. I know about things that have happened to him in his past that he and his friends have mentioned, including his bad childhood, the stalking incident, and the drama with his "friend" who stole his song. He has went through so much pain and it hurts me to see him going through more. I know this may sound a little parasocial, and I could very well be wrong, but from my perspective Mafumafu is a very strongly empathetic and sensitive person, so he feels things like this much stronger and blames himself for it. All I hope is that he is able to move forward and be truly happy some day. Even if one day perhaps he stops making songs, I'll be happy as long as he is happy.

She does this gag she will send you a text then after 5 minutes if you havent replied she will text you a question mark every minute until you reply, when you reply she says something to the effect of ''i wasnt impatient or anything'' and you ask whats up with the 65 question marks and she starts laughing. She does that to everyone not just mafumafu. The joke is oftenly ''i send you something on instagram''' and she replies ''im banned from instagram for a week for spamming''.
    This video frames it as she is texting him every 5 minutes, but probably she is texting him twice a day with 50 question marks each time ? So is she a toxic gf or just an internet troll ? Im not saying what mafumafu is saying is fake, im just taking it as half truths personally.

    I have been a fan of Mafumafu for about a decade now, and I am aware the dude has been through a lot. He's dealt with stalking and such. Statistically, if you have been abused that heavily increases your chances of being abused again, because you lose your sense of what's normal and acceptable. It breaks my heart. Dude probably felt like he finally found someone he could trust, and this batsh-t person ruined it for him. I hope he is able to heal, and that he understands he should not feel bad for being forced to hide the situation from the public.

They would say to their "friends" if the friends get jealous of them taking advantage of others and got what they wanted. It's disgusting. I know a few of these people...

      @@DJInu The only two things she really admitted to was that she had a relationship and that she anonymously spoke ill of Mafufu. Speaking ill of another anonymously is what most people do on Twitter every day. It's one of the most minor things mentioned in the lawsuit on the surface. If Mikeneko was the one being abused in the relationship, lashing out anonymously is not only justifiable, but not enough to actually help her situation and was likely a coping mechanism due to feeling trapped. It's weird to indulge in such heavy bias when the court case hasn't even begun. We don't even know what evidence each party actually has. At most there have just been mentions of alleged evidence that we know nothing of in reality. Remember, both sides are heavily incentivized to manipulate the public to their favor and both have a lifetime of experience doing it as big public figures. It would be more just to let both parties make their case in a court of law before condemning either.

    I think you are doing a great disservice by covering this using an extremely one-sided summary post instead of the official statements. Rushia / Mikeneko has already released a statement 2 days ago.
    Mafumafu stands to lose little to nothing by this coming out, no matter how the court cases turn out. He is way too massive and will remain a big shot even if he loses in court. While Rushia on the other hand, despite having been subjected to unparalleled hatred since her termination 2 years ago had just started to turn her life around for the better, now once again stands to lose everything. She apparently got a role in a short anime that came out this season as well has signed a contract with Pony Canyon.
    One should always ask the question "Why?". What is the reason for Mafumafu leaking this to a tabloid and going on Korekore's stream? From the outside, taking everything into consideration, it looks like he knows he won't be able to get the "justice" he thinks he is owed in court, so instead he opts to instigate a smear campaign. If he can't ruin her life in court he'll do it by cancelling her. The actions he has taken leave little to no room to give him the benefit of doubt, nor do they add the tiniest bit of credibility to his words.

  • @Goondius

      I had a quick look at MafuMafu's statement, but it really didn't say much, I don't actively follow either so I'm not up to speed to all the information out there and I might check her response.
      That said I did hear about MafuMafu having had traumatic experiences in the past, I don't know the details tho (pretty sure it was something to do with friendships, but might have been romantic relationships). All this to say that, although it's true that this type of people are more likely to get into toxic relationships, the victim of a toxic relationship is still a victim.
      In this case specifically as I still don't know Rushia/Mikeneko's side I won't say that MafuMafu has no fault in how things went, but from what Joey said and the few things I've heard of, Rushia wasn't quite the good partner either, so it's either that both are victims or that at least one of them needs help in fixing their toxic trait.

    Now, no. 1 the termination or Rushia's contract wasn't because of their relationship being found, it was because she broke her agency contract by sharing confidential information with a drama TH-camr known as korekore.
    No. 2 the controversy didn't start because of Mafu's statement, that statement was a response to an article posted in a Japanese magazine, he wasn't originally planning to upload it until the legal proceedings were done but he was put in a corner due to the constant difamación and that article was the one to hit the nail.
    I would really recommend you to watch Mafu's appearance in korekore stream as he shows proof of some of his claims and also to check Rushia's statement because it kinda gives more context, this is all with good intentions btw!
