@perfect_brains @snacks Looking deeper into it, that case seems to have been an extreme exception that even most legal experts would call into question. The jury essentially just got so appalled by the acts described in the stories that they convicted despite it being a literal private diary entry. Not to mention that none of these laws have anything to do with libel.

The characters the vtubers stream under are fictional. They’re not just animated depictions of real people… like Jaiden Animations, who literally has some of the most obscene porn of her out there, including stuff about her raping and snuffing babies.

Overall, I would say that fear of any sort of legal action being taken up is unwarranted.
