One of the scariest things a creator like yourself is afraid to tell their fans is their place. We are fans. We are strangers. Sure we support you, sure we help your bills, sure we adore you, but we are strangers. “You and I are not in a relationship” 500% well said

[@selbi_.1092]

so true it was very well spoken of him i totally agreed with him

[@bigguygabe]

There's a really good translated clip from Astel of Holostars where he talks about this. I wish more content creators would.

[@sp00kym0nster]

Exactly.

[@Eiensakura]

The fact that this needs to be spelled out like this is really sad.

[@StoneGossardsGuitarPick]

it takes balls to do this and I really think that he stood up to this really well

[@V1v1.__.3nn3]

" You and I are not in a relationship. I care deeply about my fans, but *I don't know you* " This. This is something that has been needed to be stated. We all love Vox, as much as he loves us, maybe even more so, but there are boundaries that need to be set. Vox is a person too, and he needs to have his boundaries respected and honored. Vox deserves *so much* more respect than he is given, and it makes my blood boil. He's a person with feelings, emotions, priorities, etc. Respect that, and respect him.

[@boyethewise1728]

This is gonna make some delusional ppl snap real hard.

[@aryunow]

Tbh i really like this word, idk why

[@sand_eater101]

This is why I like the Nijisanji fandom. In the DreamSMP fandom, no one seems to address this despite the stuff that is being said, and if I ever mention that I am part of it, I am not accepted and insults are thrown my way.

[@jackcarmel9367]

350% agreed- that was my favorite line that he stated

[@kilato9649]

This.

[@rune9641]

Look guys. As an old school vtuber fan, I've seen this a lot over the years. Here's the thing. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a fantasy during the stream. Entertainers are there to give you a form of escapism from our real shitty lives. So enjoy the fantasy of RP or whatever during the stream. BUT, once the stream ends so too does the fantasy. Don't be an asshole to other people. If you have trouble escaping the fantasy you're trapped in. Seek help. Not here, not from the streamer, from actual professionals. Thank you.

[@SoulCandyLove]

100% agree!!

[@cass-the-vtuber-simpfu-cha7418]

YES! It’s completely normal to want or even need time to escape from reality for a little, taking joy from a streamers content is healthy and comfortable. Even feeling (a reasonable) amount of affection is totally valid, so long as you keep it in the back of your mind that when the stream ends your real life is waiting for you.

[@ArcanistShion]

This is exactly what I'm talking about! Enjoy the content just don't be an ass to him or other people!

[@kyonhou]

couldnt have said it better myself :)

[@nakimushi11]

I vividly remember how Fulgur was firmly addressing on his debut stream that these are all a WORK OF FICTION, and now I realize how important it is to keep that in mind at all times...

[@Shirokiiii]

"You and I are not in a relationship." this should be known and a common sense that is known to people. we adore them, yes, we support them, yes, but we are not entitled to do or say such things that oversteps our boundary.

[@eiamhara]

If you can't/won't watch the whole thing, here are the basics: 1. Reimu and Vox are okay, he apologizes for the misunderstanding he caused. He is NOT OKAY with the attacks that people sent to her and they need to stop immediately. 2. Do not become overly attached to Vox based on the unbalanced, parasocial relationship you have with him. He doesn't love YOU specifically, he loves his audience, his Kindreds as a whole. 3. Exerting some feeling of ownership over him and his content is inappropriate, and harassing other VTubers related to him is inappropriate. 4. Stop babying him, he's a fully-grown man who knows how to take care of himself. He held himself accountable as he should, stop trying to excuse his mistake.

[@chibiotaku7547]

Thank you for writing down the basics! I can't watch these types of videos since my trauma has me flinching and curling up at any type of confrontation even when it's not directed at me (like for this 'cause some Kindred really needed this reality check). Text is much less scary/fear inducing for me so thank you again ❤ I'm so glad this got addressed and he's owning up to it. I feel bad he has to apologize for this at all since it's not his own actions, but a foot being put down was needed and I'm glad he finally did and apologized for taking this long to do so. Here's to a healthier fanbase! (Hopefully)

[@khaotickiri8223]

thank you for writing things down but- what's the context? I haven't been able to watch any streams recently because I've been busy, so what exactly happened that caused this video to be made?

[@sannya_32]

Vox keep repeating himself to reminded those kind of fans about the relationship things.. I kinda get it he gets tired of it but I'm glad he still admitted his mistakes

[@nowaxapen]

@@khaotickiri8223 I wasn't there cuz I don't really watch his asmr streams, but he did one recently and apparently it was a date rp. Reimu was having a fnaf stream at the same time and texted Vox to ask a question. Vox answer the text (acting like it was a phonecall - classic interruption during a date scenario) and people got mad at her and were sending her death threats for interrupting. Vox didn't handle it the best (he said he could understand why people would be mad or smth along those lines) and that wasn't taken well either. Basically, he reflected and this stream was a statement about how he doesn't condone toxic behavior and that he is an entertainer and not a boyfriend/husband/daddy etc... to anyone online and people need to conduct themselves better. He apologized for his part in it too.

[@AldenEmroch]

@@khaotickiri8223 on yesterday's stream Reimu sended him some messages and he acknowledged her on the stream with a little harmless joke. And just bc of that, she received insults and death treats from delusional people He talked about it this morning but his wording was quite poor so people openly criticized him to talk properly about the issue

[@mademoisellegiselle]

i love that he takes responsibility and doesn’t let people baby him. remember, he’s a GROWN MAN.

[@PinkestSweets]

Yeah many treat vtubers and streamers like children or ppl that can’t defend themselves its like they forget hes a real person

[@akira8393]

you mean he's finally a grown man but a grown man nonetheless

[@QueenTwilightSparkle1]

In fact he is already a adult but people treat him like a kid. Like bro he is a human what he wants to do is HIS choice. Whoever he wants to Collab is his choice he can do whatever the frick he wants. So these things should made it clear he will not tolerate as much and will start to take action. He doesn't own them shit. Kudos to him.

[@QueenTwilightSparkle1]

Not to mention he has friends and the company plus the majority of us good apples on his side. If it happens you can be sure ass either he gonna yeet those right out of his stream or Nijisanji will take the most serious action: lawsuit if worse comes to worse.

[@akira8393]

@@QueenTwilightSparkle1 I mean the whole time he has been a kid. that's why most of people treat him like one. finally taking responsibility for his actions and not being full retard is his big step in being an adult. THIS IS WHAT ADULTS ARE.

[@rebeccawong7088]

Even as the stream was ongoing I could still see people in chat saying “it’s not your fault” and calling him “daddy” even though this is a serious topic. Please stop babying him and let him be held accountable. I hope he’s ready to hammer in this point as many times as it takes because clearly some people need a few more reminders. The health of the fandom is something that needs to be continuously checked in on, so I hope vox is willing to address these issues over and over again, especially in content like his ASMR streams where some people may get too carried away.

[@Nobreza0804]

“Change in this community begins with me.” [17:48] Incredible growth and success has its consequences.

Thank you so so much for addressing this. This is a wake up call to those who have an issue with this. Understand that delusional, parasocial behavior is not tolerated.

[@suibianbichen3654]

Kindred who attacked Reimu keep in mind that Vox KNOWS Reimu and they are ACTUAL friends,whereas YOU are just fans. You wouldn't like people attacking and harrassing your friends right,so don't do it here,to him or anyone else !!! DONT MAKE HIM OR REIMU OR ANYONE UNCOMFORTABLE.

the way he addressed the "babying" in chat while some were literally babying him, these peeps 🤡

[@Nobreza0804]

watched this live and seeing people going on "slay king" on a serious issue. That was concerning, despite having Vox taking the correct approach on the matter, during the stream earlier today he took the wrong approach, there was much more that was within his reach that could be done During this stream he did what was within his reach, he recognized his mistake and that's admirable, now having his chat being more mature isn't something that relies on his public

Sometimes, the best way to start healing is to rip off the band-aid. Vox, right here, right now, acted in a way that should be commended. Like Vox said, he is a grown man who can take care of himself. But, it wouldn't hurt for the Kindreds with our heads screwed on straight to help him out a bit. No man is an island. Let's just follow the rules, and get things back on track. And if you're wondering if this applies to you, or even if you think this doesn't apply to you, always think "Would I say this to a person in public, directly?" If the answer is "No", "Probably not" or "Maybe", then just don't.

[@hoonigiri]

*Patience is a virtue.* To everyone who aggressively attacked Vox and Reimu in a disrespectful way before and after this situation, keep in mind that your 'opinion' and 'comment' matters at some point, but if it's fueling something and it's not ACTUALLY helping--making it worse, then you need to stay on your lane first. Do not ruin someone's friendship and career just because you are mad or disappointed. Personally, I did not comment anything after the rp asmr stream and Minecraft stream because I trust these two. I chose to trust them first before judging them, I gave them a chance to settle it first. You are far from Vox's relationship to Reimu as well as Reimu's relationship to Vox. They are colleagues and best friends, stay on your lane and let them handle this first and then address it probably together and that's the time you should reflect like what Vox did right now, he took time to know and analyze this event (even the past ones) and now he's addressing this in a way that everyone deserves. He addressed this even though it's almost 3 AM, so do not give him the "sleep" and "take a rest" because the man's addressing this using his second chance as early as possible and if you don't wanna hear it, that's on you. Remember what Vox said: *"You and I are NOT in a relationship."* *"You need to view me as an ENTERTAINER."* *"We are NOT together."* *THANK YOU for this stream, Vox.* I also hope that Reimu is really okay, if she can also address this and make everyone know that it's already settled, she should, so some 'fans' would stop attacking each other oshi's. Instead of attacking these two because of what they did or said, we should put the 'fans' who flamed this misunderstanding in their own place first. I hope this won't happen again. More than 24k+ people have watched this stream and I think those people, we, should be enough to remind these aggressive and delusional fans to sit down and learn. To those 'fans' who commented and send awful messages, I hope you'd reflect and apologize to Reimu, Vox, and other co-fans that you might've hurt because of this misunderstanding.

[@juslynweng522]

Being a respectful fan is the basic, I can't agree you anymore🙌❤️

[@akira8393]

the guy said that he ignored it for too long that's was the problem. glad to see him taking it. and to the opinion, comment matters i highly doubtful about it but that doesnt mean i'm holding him back if does something stupid again. just like you said he's an entertainer not a friend nor anything in a relationship. so if he does something stupid, i'm out here to give my judgement because i have no knowledge of the person behind. so that doesnt change. also if he hates it, he can ignored it regardless

[@delwynnguyen816]

I agree with you

[@Ten_522]

Same, I hope Reimu speaks on this as well so she can also put her foot down and tell her fans to stop targeting and drama mongering. There’s been a lot of white-knighting from her fanbase’s end and I hope the dust settles between them. Vox and Reimu know each other best, not us their viewers. ❤️🤍

[@ralphael3379]

Very mature decision to address this issue so it doesn’t get out of control, we are all proud of you. Taking responsibility for this kind of thing is scary and some people would just run away from the issue so you have already done better. Well done and thank you for explaining.

[@jackcarmel9367]

No creator can truly control their fanbase but it’s the impact the creator has on their fanbase that makes it their responsibility. Especially if that impact is enabling the behavior their fanbase is following. Vox you are an extremely well spoken and strong man. My respect for you as a fan and as person, continues to rise. You didn’t simply apologize and you certainly did not deflect the issue. No creator is perfect and it is incredibly scary to be in the position of having to address drama- but you did a phenomenal job. Best wishes, I hope the people who have given us this horrible reputation will now have learnt their lesson. No matter how gorgeous you are milord, we are nothing more than your fans. Anyone who sees that as more- seriously needs some help. I hope you’re doing well and that you never have to address this again❤️❤️ I’ve seen many comments saying “stop babying him” but honestly I believe you did a good job addressing a scary thing. Not to break the fourth wall- but you truly are just human and will make mistakes as well. The brutality people have is awful and I hope people can recognize your dedication to making things right.

You can definitely tell this was _way_ out of his comfort zone so it definitely made me pretty emotional and proud to see him do this stream anyway. It takes a lot to reconsider and reflect on your actions, to admit your wrongs, to take responsibility for them, and to apologize sincerely. It also takes maybe even more to confront thousands of people you don't know and call them out for something that doesn't sit right. Definitely says something about his character. Yes, we don't know him and it's still basically of course just watching funny internet anime man, but it's comforting to know we're supporting someone with integrity.

[@UBvtuber]

I feel like Leafy set the precedent that if you aren't super firm about disassociating with toxic fans, you run the risk of banishment or a big hit to your reputation (rick and morty, kpop, dream fans).

This is what I’ve heard: He got a text from a friend that momentarily interrupted an ASMR stream whenever he responded to her. Did he say something unsavory or was he just...responding to a message? If he’s just responding to a message and that made delusional fans feral, I can’t see how that’s his fault? Or is it that he feels responsible for the actions of the crazies in chat? I’m not babying him, if he needs to apologize/wants to apologize and take accountability for the situation then he has to, I understand that part. I’m not delusional enough to think he’s perfect and can do no wrong. I’m just confused lol

[@oomay1925]

@@patch2932 the friend messaged him during a bf rp asmr. For a long time Vox had been cultivating gachikois (fans that are inlove with vtubers) bc his content is always "flirty" or downright sensual with his chat and he's stated in the past that he not only doesn't mind his chat being down bad or even in love with him, but that he actually likes it. So the result of his fans being so possessive to the point they started sending hate to Reimu for messaging him during his asmr stream (which his fans consider to be "private time" with Vox) is because of the type of fabase he molded. There's also been issues in the past with fans being rude to other vtubers, such as when his chat was begging Vox not to do an ASMR collab with Shoto when HE suggested it. And those moments Vox never properly addressed the issue and kept enabling this type of fan behaviour until now. He can't control everything his fans do, but the issue was how much he was enabling their toxic behaviour by sweeping a lot of it under the rug, so it's much better for him to put his foot down and stop a good amount of his fans from being toxic than not to do anything about it- bc he's already been doing that before and it was only getting worse.

Despite the fear of confrontation and his nervousness, the fact that he was able to deliver such clear and crisp responses to the foul behaviour in his fanbase was incredible. My respect has deepened tenfold. And the way he addressed said issues so firmly yet respectfully, had me blushing. You sir Vox Akuma, are one hell of a man. D am n! I myself feel for him in the sense that I too kind of wanted to believe that these things couldn’t happen. I wanted to believe that he was a quickly growing channel with so much positivity that could blast away all of the shitheads. But this is reality. There will always be crappy people. It’s so sad.. But many kudos to him for handling it the way he did in the end. And I’m glad Reimu is feeling better.

[@tangrira8114]

Many people in chat said Vox don't need to apologize. NO! VOX DID NEED TO APOLOGIZE. Every streamer will have imperfections. Apologizing for this is a very correct and important action. Please don't give full positive encouragement all the time, it has the chance to mislead them and cause them to miss the opportunity to become better. I'd say "I forgive you, VOX(or Reimu)" instead of "You're not wrong, don't apologize" Something happens for sure for a reason.The way to support the streamer, or the way to establish a healthy relationship with people, is to strike a balance after thinking about each other's behavioral boundaries and moral standards, and then say whether you can forgive after thinking about these things. Don't give unconditional support!! VOX has done the right thing, and we as fans should also learn to judge right and wrong. In particular, whether you are an adult or not, you should understand that the inability to judge such a right or wrong is as terrible as the threat mentioned by VOX.

[@partygamingz3332]

YESSS and honestly i never think its a bad thing to admit a mistake or ignorance as long your willing to improve and the fact he did it despite being scared of conflict should honestly be commended for. Main problem i have is just that some people that believe Vox ignored the situation out of malicious intent when the more likely scenario was a combination of ignorance on how bad it was and just not wanting to hurt those he didn't intend to hurt. Good intentions, wrong execution kinda thing. A true Miking isn't always right or better, A true Miking can admit when their wrong and move forwards anyways and i hope people could chill and others that left the fandom could start forgiving him

Neither me or those kindreds I know have any kind of relationship with the ones who choose to sent the death threats (apart from knowing some from sight), we all always condemn that kind of behavior and all the other stuff that has been happening this past few weeks... it's not only the fact that those kind of actions are fucked up and create problems for the streamers, it's actually creating a problem for us too since we don't want those who act improperly to stain the reputation of the vast majority who acts properly.

[@dadadaidk9352]

The sad thing I noticed about idol industry is that you're not able to speak for yourself even if you realise your mistake and the fans get even more wild so I'm pretty happy that he got to address the issue himself

[@talisha2062]

And with the idol industry it’s explicitly catered that way, it’s very, very dangerous, but it’s their way of business.

[@Shirley36]

I fucking love that he did this, and I hope he feels good after doing this. Weeding out the bad apples is only going to make the community better

[@beatrice9102]

This was intense but well deserved to all of those people who cannot enjoy this type of content without losing the perception of reality and start to hurt people for no reason.

[@asterisk4979]

Long overdue but certainly welcome and well said public address. Honestly the bad apples of this community made it difficult to watch you, especially during collabs. You proved me wrong because I thought you'd never address this and for that you have my respect. I sincerely hope this was a wake up call for some of the people contributing to the problem and that it leads to a much healthier community. Best to you, my dude. Thank you for addressing this.

[@afiliaassela]

Never watched you before just heard of the issues through Twitter, I barely watch any other VTuber cause of all the controversy popping up left and right, but this raised the Karma Gauge for you immensly on my end. And in my opinion more Vtubers should take responsibility like this for their communities if things go the wrong way. All the Goods for you man.

[@evolvedsapien7562]

No need for the change of content, its about setting the boundaries because its affecting other livers and their community too, so thank you for this. 👏👏👏👏

[@devaraft]

About time you address this. And I really hate people who are still saying "vox didn't do anything wrong" or "vox doesn't have to apologize" bitch, VOX IS PARTIALLY AT FAULT AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS and VOX NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE. He gets it, he did it, and he knows why he was wrong. I'm really glad. But my god the fanbase reaction to still justifying and defending Vox even when he admit it is excruciating. It's so frustrating when the livers finally gets it but the fanbase doesn't

[@rfh15xoxo72]

Hello, but may I ask what did Vox do wrong? I rly didn't know abt the issues rn 😅🙏

[@volgg]

Fandom is a mistake man

[@siel39]

@@rfh15xoxo72 Please carefully listen to this video in its full length, Vox clearly explained the whole situation and addressed what he had done wrong.

[@devaraft]

@@rfh15xoxo72 literally just watch the vod and you will know.

[@akira8393]

i mean seeing in the chat you can tell how much bs they're favoring him. finally a man admitting his fault and accept it.

[@helplesslyunsatisfied]

🚩🚩🚩!!!CONTEXT!!!🚩🚩🚩 [For why was this made? What happened in the last stream?] Some kindreds over stepped boundaries and were self entitled enough to send threats against Reimu because of a small interruption in one of his asmr streams. In his last Minecraft stream He addresses this, but he didn't SOLIDIFY boundaries while also not COMPLETELY putting his foot down. While this was being addressed last stream, some were also babying him and not really taking things seriously. Some were also pissed at him for allegedly downplaying the situation and getting annoyed for wanting this to be addressed. Because of how he addressed this, a lot were disappointed... A lot of kindreds left their opinions about it in his last stream.

[@carmenmatuz3561]

Since English is not my mother tongue and I don't understand it very well, I appreciate the context!

[@bird5007]

General suggestion - maybe link this video with the chat rules so people are all clear when joining the community

[@Chiharu-Inoue]

"It's okay *daddy*, you did nothing wrong!!!

[@leaflic._.]

And the fact that chatters like that can turn away new chatters is really sad

[@aliaseiriasu7580]

Vox, I am one of the people who left a critical comment on your MC video so I hope this carries some weight and doesn't come across as blind praise. You did amazing. As you went down the list of things which needed to be addressed I was taken aback at how comprehensive it was, how direct you were, and how honest you were. You hit all the marks. This is something people needed to hear. Not just your fans, but any people who form unhealthy relationships with VTubers/streamers and harass others on their behalf. Even though it has come to a head in your community it's something which happens elsewhere in this space and has to be called out. I came into this stream somewhat apprehensive about how this would all be addressed and I've left feeling like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I hope you feel the same way. (also that comment interrogating how a person could possibly feel like they were in a 1-on-1 stream with you when there were 16k other viewers--- beautiful)

[@aeriicatz]

genuinely thank you so much for addressing it. i know that you're probably gonna have to address it again and again (not in a manner such as this) but this stream is a HUGE step in the right direction. this genuinely means so much; thank you for being firmer this time and saying everything straight up!! edit: also kindreds please dont call him suggestive names or thirst during a serious situation. its disrespectful on all accounts and seriously tone deaf.

[@key5401]

Thank you for saying this stuff

[@key5401]

I know vox's the one saying the stuff but like respectfully calling more people out on their bad habits is great

[@akira8393]

sorry but most already being thirst right for this... i mean you cant blame us, you dont know how we've been waiting for too long for this. other than that he finally did the right thing. at the minimum if someone does this shit again, he'll do what's need to do to handle it. at least i hope so

[@apis7480]

Lol ikr. Like I know I'm a thirsty son of a bitch, but I also know when not to be thirsty in a really serious situation. Cheers for a better road ahead for the kindred.

[@aeriicatz]

@@akira8393 idc about people thirsting privately but on a stream, in the chat, where hes talking very seriously about people sending death threats to his best friend? that's just not right. there's a time and place for everything and this stream was not the one to call him "daddy" in. sorry if this sounds rude.

[@emizlambos]

Please listen to 8:47 clearly Vox has struggled enough with some of the Kindred and may feel gated to even do some stuff because people have he can’t even go one day without streaming to feel what sounds like guilt. Stop thinking that you guys have something. He even had to state that we are not in a relationship. Apologies to Vox for the troublesome people, and I’m glad it was addressed before things got out of hand. Also thanks to Vox for showing that this is unacceptable, and that he is grown enough to prove it. On a side note, to the kindred attacking Vox’s friends for something so small, I hope that you can please just leave and get some form of life.

[@Shiiwata]

this is something he should have done from the start. it's important to set boundries with your viewers. it’s literally the bare minimum that a streamer can do to provide a safe space for their community no matter the size of their following. anyway i'm glad he adressed it properly this time because when i was watching his minecraft stream i couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. before all of this i used to watch his streams and it was fun, he is a good entertainer, so i hope he has learned from all of this and can actively speak up from now on.

[@Ikesfavpen]

Agreed. Im so happy he finally adressed this but its so late. The rest of luxiem adressed this just a while after debut

[@ysabelnella5393]

REMINDER: VTUBERS ARE REAL PEOPLE WITH FEELINGS AND BOUNDARIES. RESPECT THEM, OBEY THEIR RULES. 1. Kindreds will NEVER have a personal nor romantic relationship with Vox. You are a stranger to him. 2. He is not in a romantic relationship with anyone you ship him with, so he is not cheating with anyone nor should he be with anyone you want him to date. 3. Sending death threats, hatred, insults, through superchats, tweets, and DMs is WRONG, DISGUSTING, HATEFUL, STUPID, AND DELUSIONAL OF YOU TO DO. 4. Stop flooding the chat with: "King, Daddy, slaying, drink water, it's okay, you should rest, you should eat, etc." He is trying to be serious, but you're flooding the chat with irrelevant nonsense. When he has streams or talks like this, STOP BABYING HIM. You are not his MOM, DAD, GIRLFRIEND, BOYFRIEND, HUSBAND, WIFE. You are a stranger who will never be with him. Let him talk, let chat tell him what he is doing and saying and behaving wrong. He is an adult not a baby nor child, he can make his own decisions and choices. 5. If you want to compliment him and thank him, do it here in the comments like everybody else. 6. HE IS AN ENTERTAINER AND YOU ARE PART OF AN/THE AUDIENCE. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you Vox, personally, I enjoy your streams, but I am weak and softhearted, I cannot handle 18+ language nor content. It is not my cup of tea, but I do enjoy watching you when you have collabs with others. You are very funny and entertaining! I hope you update your rules, I hope you add more and always add disclaimers, I hope you also always add warnings for viewers who are younger than 18+ or viewers like me, who do not enjoy such type of content. May you only receive constructive critique, and only positive criticism and not hate and fire. Take care of yourself, your mental health, if you need therapy, go for it, since therapy is for everybody and not just those suffering with mental illnesses. Continue to take responsibility and action, do not avoid confrontations, and remember your responsibility as a celebrity with a big following. Take care and God bless you! Love you Vox! You can do much better from hereon out!
