You know what's the most hilarious thing about this whole drama?
This could've just been another small-time release, destined to get lost in the ever-growing sea of niche VNs. But people started complaining so hard about it that they turned it into a trending topic, giving it
All Pixiv had to do was ban fucking AI generated pics from the get go all across the board, BUT NO, they instead fully embraced them, getting themselves into this mess.

The ones in charge of Pixiv are fucking idiots.
Effective immediately, Pixiv will no longer feature links to an artist's Fanbox on their profile page.

He's having the time of his life with his life-sized Nanachi statue worth $3,573 USD before taxes and shipping.
I fucking hate idiots who only watch like one anime a year and pretend that the "industry fell off," so when something high quality finally enters their limited radar, they scream that "IT'S THE BEST THING EVER, NEVER DONE BEFORE!"

Oh yeah, they've officially put Johnny Somali in the "Re-Arrest" loop system, lol. They will keep re-arresting him for everything he has done over and over again.
He's definitely going to spend a lot of time in there with Japanese authorities.
The Sankei Shimbun is reporting that American Kick streamer Johnny Somali is being re-arrested for obstructing business at a restaurant. This will allow police to detain him for an additional 23 days of questioning before filing formal charges.
