I want to make a long statement here on the events about the VTuber Mimi that got arrested for artwork You can find the artwork that got her into trouble disgusting and outright weird. I have always had this stance on content. However advocating for the censorship of it is another matter since its fictional. Having someone's life ruined over drawings that isn't a living breathing person is a terrible situation that many are neglecting to realize. If we look at what happened to Mimi as an example for things to come. That means any adult or suggestive content will get you into trouble within the UK "United Kingdom". Which will stretch beyond the icky content you dislike The reason I have come to this conclusion is because if we look at the bail requirements she stated herself. Any form of Adult content she makes will result in her being thrown in jail. This statement is very scary for one big reason. It indicates that even if she did vanilla adult artwork with a tall woman, she would still break her bail requirements. Which means the Government officials within the UK have a serious issue with any adult content that is drawn online. On top of this Mimi's friend revealed all her anime merchandise was seized by the Police. Meaning even owning regular manga, figurines, and anime will be taken by the Government. We already have examples of the Government within the UK censoring speech and expression. One good example is that they had a whole propaganda game made saying you'll get a criminal record for posting an anime meme. There's been footage of UK police going to a Grandma's house to scare her for a post she made on Facebook about her views on politics. There's also been ads being played within the UK doing something similar like the Propaganda game to scare you from posting memes. Then we got the UK going after sibling content within fiction, but refusing to ban "REAL" cousin marriage within the UK. This means even Game of Thrones would likely be banned thanks to these rules. Now we circle back around to Mimi and her situation. There's actual rape gangs roaming within the UK that they refuse to handle. However they are spending precious resources targeting and ruining the life of a VTuber posting artwork. There's been a ton of Artists and even VTubers cheering this situation on and not realizing the cliff that stands before them. We all have seen in the last year what censorship has been doing to the internet with Digital ID, Age Verification, Collective Shout, and more. The fact there's still UK citizens cheering this on reveals just how bad the situation is right now Some of the most popular VTubers of all time are Lolicons or Shotacons. This means they will be arrested if these laws continue to spread around the world. A year ago the UK introduced forced Digital ID and it caused waves where almost every country in the West followed its example. What makes you think what happened to Mimi will just stop at her? So in closing, if we assume everything is accurate about Mimi's situation. The reality is that VTubers will start getting arrested in the future, along with artists.
